Clean up runtime exports #1683
Description
Right now the interface presented by the runtime is very sloppy. There should basically be three categories of function:
rust_*- runtime services for use by core/stdupcall_*- runtime services for use by the compilerrust_client_*- runtime services for use by external C libraries (these don't exist yet Create and export rust C API from the runtime #1682)

Agreed. I'd also vaguely like to rename the term
upcallto something more obvious.brson commentedon Feb 16, 2012
While we're changing
upcalllet's also put it into therust_namespace. What word do you suggest to replaceupcall?jamorton commentedon Apr 2, 2012
has a word been chosen yet? I could clean this up
brson commentedon Apr 2, 2012
No, a word has not been chosen. In the interest of making a nice embedding API I think the naming we should use is:
rust_*- the public embedding API - there are no existing functions in this namespacerust_builtin_*- the API used by core - this is the majority of the existing functionsrust_dbg_*- debug / test APIsrust_upcall_*- or whatever the new word for 'upcall' is@graydon what's the new word for 'upcall'?

Though
builtinis a pretty long word, maybe there's a shorter synonymbblum commentedon Jul 3, 2013
This only affects libs, so is not a backwards-compatibility issue. Renominating for feature-complete.
Most of this will become irrelevant with the new runtime, and the rust runtime's internal interface to C library functions can probably be unstandardized. But we might still want to think about the rust interface to the rest of the stdlib.

just a bug, removing milestone/nomination.

Could somebody ( @brson or @bblum ?) summarize what remains to be done here?

The old runtime support is being removed, so cleaning it up isn't necessary anymore.
