Previously, std.socket code assumed that MSG_NOSIGNAL existed on all platforms, which is not the case – std.c.osx.socket actually has a comment saying »Not defined in OS X, but we'll use them anyway«. This lead to Socket.send() raising SIGPIPE on OS X if the peer had already closed the connection.
With this commit, std.socket sets the SO_NOSIGPIPE socket option on systems that support it for the same effect as MSG_NOSIGNAL on Linux.
Strictly speaking, removing the NOSIGNAL SocketFlag is a breaking API change, but I do not think there is any code actually using it, as it has always been set implicitly by std.socket anyway.
* Transformed std.c.linux.* into wrappers around core.sys.posix modules where appropriate.
* Added std.c.osx as the OSX equivalent of std.c.linux.
* Added std.c.osx.socket for OSX-specific socket declarations not covered by the Posix spec.
* Altered all makefiles to zip, etc, the new std.c.osx package.
* Removed gcstats. Garbage collector statistics will be avaialable in durintime's 'memory' module.
* Removed object.d. This module is replaced by the object.d provided by druntime.
* Removed std.array. To trap an array bounds error, import 'exception' from druntime and catch ArrayBoundsException.
* Removed std.asserterror. To trap an asertion failure, import 'exception' from druntime and catch AssertException.
* Removed std.gc. To interact with the garbage collector, import 'memory' from druntime.
* Removed std.hiddenfunc. No equivalent exception is currently exposed by druntime, but if one is exposed it will be called HiddenFuncException and be declared in 'exception'.
* Removed std.moduleinit. druntime declares ModuleInfo in object.d, so it is implicitly availble without importing.
* Removed std.outofmemory. To trap an out of memory error, import 'exception' from druntime and catch OutOfMemoryException.
* Removed std.switcherr. To trap a switch error, import 'exception' from druntime and catch SwitchException.
* Removed std.synchro. This functionality will exist within druintime.
* Removed std.thread. A Thread class is available within druntime's 'thread' module. An interface comparison will be provided separately.
* Removed std.typeinfo. The classes defined in this package are for runtime use and should not be visible to the user.
The prior version of Phobos has been archived in tags/phobos-2.019 if needed.
* std.contracts: Added file and line information to enforce. Added errnoEnforce that reads and formats a message according to errno. Added corresponding ErrnoException class.
* std.encoding: For now commented out std.encoding.to.
* std.file: Fixed bug 2065
* std.format: Fixed bug in raw write for arrays
* std.getopt: Added new option stopOnFirstNonOption. Also automatically expand dubious option groups with embedded in them (useful for shebang scripts)
* std.math: improved integral powers
* std.md5: Improved signature of sum so it takes multiple arrays. Added getDigestString.
* std.path: changed signatures of test functions from bool to int. Implemented rel2abs for Windows. Improved join so that it accepts multiple paths. Got rid of some gotos with the help of scope statements.
* std.process: added getenv and setenv. Improved system() so it returns the exit code correctly on Linux.
* std.random: added the dice function - a handy (possibly biased) dice.
* std.file: added support for opening large files (not yet tested)
* std.utf: added the codeLength function. Got rid of some gotos.
