Debian Bullseye has just been released, and it carries `rustc 1.48.0`. This actually implies a regression that we can't really do anything about in `rhg`. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/88825. In short, closed (or bad) standard file descriptors are reopened silently with no way of telling by the Rust runtime before `main` is executed. This means that closed fds are not forwarded to the subprocess we run in case of fallback. This is a bit sad, but probably not something worth worrying too much about.

Debian stable backported `rustc 1.41.1` for a Firefox release that needed it, so we can finally update the compiler version to something that isn't more than a year old. This means that (among other things [1]), `async await` syntax is usable! Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9138

This feature gates (at compile-time) the use of the newly-added dirstate tree. The motivation for this is that the dirstate tree is currently *very* slow; replacing the current hashmap-based dirstate is not a viable solution in terms of performance... and why would you be using the Rust implementation if not for performance? The feature will also help reviewers better understand the differences that will slowly appear as the dirstate tree gets better. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9132

With the performance issues with `regex` figured out and fixed in previous patches and `regex` newly gaining support for empty alternations, there is no reason to keep `re2` around anymore. It's only *marginally* faster at creating the regex which saves at most a couple of ms, but gets beaten by `regex` in every other aspect. This removes the Rust/C/C++ bridge (hooray!), the `with-re2` feature, the conditional code that goes with it, the documentation and relevant part of the debug/module output.

This commit provides a mostly-working implementation of the `hg` script in Rust along with scaffolding to support Rust in the repository. If you are familiar with Rust, the contents of the added rust/ directory should be pretty straightforward. We create an "hgcli" package that implements a binary application to run Mercurial. The output of this package is an "hg" binary. Our Rust `hg` (henceforth "rhg") essentially is a port of the existing `hg` Python script. The main difference is the creation of the embedded CPython interpreter is handled by the binary itself instead of relying on the shebang. In that sense, rhg is more similar to the "exe wrapper" we currently use on Windows. However, unlike the exe wrapper, rhg does not call the `hg` Python script. Instead, it uses the CPython APIs to import mercurial modules and call appropriate functions. The amount of code here is surprisingly small. It is my intent to replace the existing C-based exe wrapper with rhg. Preferably in the next Mercurial release. This should be achievable - at least for some Mercurial distributions. The future/timeline for rhg on other platforms is less clear. We already ship a hg.exe on Windows. So if we get the quirks with Rust worked out, shipping a Rust-based hg.exe should hopefully not be too contentious. Now onto the implementation. We're using python27-sys and the cpython crates for talking to the CPython API. We currently don't use too much functionality of the cpython crate and could have probably cut it out. However, it does provide a reasonable abstraction over unsafe {} CPython function calls. While we still have our fair share of those, at least we're not dealing with too much refcounting, error checking, etc. So I think the use of the cpython crate is justified. Plus, there is not-yet-implemented functionality that could benefit from cpython. I see our use of this crate only increasing. The cpython and python27-sys crates are not without their issues. The cpython crate didn't seem to account for the embedding use case in its design. Instead, it seems to assume that you are building a Python extension. It is making some questionable decisions around certain CPython APIs. For example, it insists that PyEval_ThreadsInitialized() is called and that the Python code likely isn't the main thread in the underlying application. It is also missing some functionality that is important for embedded use cases (such as exporting the path to the Python interpreter from its build script). After spending several hours trying to wrangle python27-sys and cpython, I gave up and forked the project on GitHub. Our Cargo.toml tracks this fork. I'm optimistic that the upstream project will accept our contributions and we can eventually unfork. There is a non-trivial amount of code in our custom Cargo build script. Our build.rs (which is called as part of building the hgcli crate): * Validates that the Python interpreter that was detected by the python27-sys crate provides a shared library (we only support shared library linking at this time - although this restriction could be loosened). * Validates that the Python is built with UCS-4 support. This ensures maximum Unicode compatibility. * Exports variables to the crate build allowing the built crate to e.g. find the path to the Python interpreter. The produced rhg should be considered alpha quality. There are several known deficiencies. Many of these are documented with inline TODOs. Probably the biggest limitation of rhg is that it assumes it is running from the ./rust/target/<target> directory of a source distribution. So, rhg is currently not very practical for real-world use. But, if you can `cargo build` it, running the binary *should* yield a working Mercurial CLI. In order to support using rhg with the test harness, we needed to hack up run-tests.py so the path to Mercurial's Python files is set properly. The change is extremely hacky and is only intended to be a stop-gap until the test harness gains first-class support for installing rhg. This will likely occur after we support running rhg outside the source directory. Despite its officially alpha quality, rhg copes extremely well with the test harness (at least on Linux). Using `run-tests.py --with-hg ../rust/target/debug/hg`, I only encounter the following failures: * test-run-tests.t -- Warnings emitted about using an unexpected Mercurial library. This is due to the hacky nature of setting the Python directory when run-tests.py detected rhg. * test-devel-warnings.t -- Expected stack trace missing frame for `hg` (This is expected since we no longer have an `hg` script!) * test-convert.t -- Test running `$PYTHON "$BINDIR"/hg`, which obviously assumes `hg` is a Python script. * test-merge-tools.t -- Same assumption about `hg` being executable with Python. * test-http-bad-server.t -- Seeing exit code 255 instead of 1 around line 358. * test-blackbox.t -- Exit code 255 instead of 1. * test-basic.t -- Exit code 255 instead of 1. It certainly looks like we have a bug around exit code handling. I don't think it is severe enough to hold up review and landing of this initial implementation. Perfect is the enemy of good.
