Vec::dedup_by optimization
Now `Vec::dedup_by` drops items in-place as it goes through them.
From my benchmarks, it is around 10% faster when T is small, with no major regression when otherwise.
I used `ptr::copy` instead of conditional `ptr::copy_nonoverlapping`, because the latter had some weird performance issues on my ryzen laptop (it was 50% slower on it than on intel/sandybridge laptop)
It would be good if someone was able to reproduce these results.
Deprecate `intrinsics::drop_in_place` and `collections::Bound`, which accidentally weren't deprecated
Fixes#82080.
I've taken the liberty of updating the `since` values to 1.52, since an unobservable deprecation isn't much of a deprecation (even the detailed release notes never bothered to mention these deprecations).
As mentioned in the issue I'm *pretty* sure that using a type alias for `Bound` is semantically equivalent to the re-export; [the reference implies](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/type-aliases.html) that type aliases only observably differ from types when used on unit structs or tuple structs, whereas `Bound` is an enum.
Add a check for ASCII characters in to_upper and to_lower
This extra check has better performance. See discussion here:
https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/to-upper-speed/13896
Thanks to `@gilescope` for helping discover and test this.
Deprecate RustcEncodable and RustcDecodable.
We can't remove the `RustcEncodable` and `RustcDecodable` derive macros from the prelude, but we can deprecate them.
Added `try_exists()` method to `std::path::Path`
This method is similar to the existing `exists()` method, except it
doesn't silently ignore the errors, leading to less error-prone code.
This change intentionally does NOT touch the documentation of `exists()`
nor recommend people to use this method while it's unstable.
Such changes are reserved for stabilization to prevent confusing people.
Apart from that it avoids conflicts with #80979.

Add a `min_type_alias_impl_trait` feature gate
This new feature gate only permits type alias impl trait to be constrained by function and trait method return types. All other possible constraining sites like const/static types, closure return types and binding types are now forbidden and gated under the `type_alias_impl_trait` and `impl_trait_in_bindings` feature gates (which are both marked as incomplete, as they have various ways to ICE the compiler or cause query cycles where they shouldn't).

use RWlock when accessing os::env (take 2)
This reverts commit acdca316c3 (#82877) i.e. redoes #81850 since the invalid unlock attempts in the child process have been fixed in #82949

Add `reverse` search alias for Iterator::rev()
When searching for "reverse" in rustdoc you can't find the rev method on Iterator so here is a search alias for that.
Demonstrate best practice for feeding stdin of a child processes
Documentation change.
It's possible to create a deadlock with stdin/stdout I/O on a single thread:
* the child process may fill its stdout buffer, and have to wait for the parent process to read it,
* but the parent process may be waiting until its stdin write finishes before reading the stdout.
Therefore, the parent process should use separate threads for writing and reading.
These examples are not deadlocking in practice, because they use short strings, but I think it's better to demonstrate code that works even for long writes. The problem is non-obvious and tricky to debug (it seems that even libstd has a similar issue: #45572).
This also demonstrates how to use stdio with threads: it's not obvious that `.take()` can be used to avoid fighting with the borrow checker.
I've checked that the modified examples run fine.
std: Fix a bug on the wasm32-wasi target opening files
This commit fixes an issue pointed out in #82758 where LTO changed the
behavior of a program. It turns out that LTO was not at fault here, it
simply uncovered an existing bug. The bindings to
`__wasilibc_find_relpath` assumed that the relative portion of the path
returned was always contained within thee input `buf` we passed in. This
isn't actually the case, however, and sometimes the relative portion of
the path may reference a sub-portion of the input string itself.
The fix here is to use the relative path pointer coming out of
`__wasilibc_find_relpath` as the source of truth. The `buf` used for
local storage is discarded in this function and the relative path is
copied out unconditionally. We might be able to get away with some
`Cow`-like business or such to avoid the extra allocation, but for now
this is probably the easiest patch to fix the original issue.
Implement Extend and FromIterator for OsString
Add the following trait impls:
- `impl Extend<OsString> for OsString`
- `impl<'a> Extend<&'a OsStr> for OsString`
- `impl FromIterator<OsString> for OsString`
- `impl<'a> FromIterator<&'a OsStr> for OsString`
Because `OsString` is a platform string with no particular semantics, concatenating them together seems acceptable.
I came across a use case for these trait impls in https://github.com/artichoke/artichoke/pull/1089:
Artichoke is a Ruby interpreter. Its CLI accepts multiple `-e` switches for executing inline Ruby code, like:
```console
$ cargo -q run --bin artichoke -- -e '2.times {' -e 'puts "foo: #{__LINE__}"' -e '}'
foo: 2
foo: 2
```
I use `clap` for command line argument parsing, which collects these `-e` commands into a `Vec<OsString>`. To pass these commands to the interpreter for `Eval`, I need to join them together. Combining these impls with `Iterator::intersperse` https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79524 would enable me to build a single bit of Ruby code.
Currently, I'm doing something like:
```rust
let mut commands = commands.into_iter();
let mut buf = if let Some(command) = commands.next() {
command
} else {
return Ok(Ok(()));
};
for command in commands {
buf.push("\n");
buf.push(command);
}
```
If there's interest, I'd also like to add impls for `Cow<'a, OsStr>`, which would avoid allocating the `"\n"` `OsString` in the concatenate + intersperse use case.
Don't implement mem::replace with mem::swap.
`swap` is a complicated operation, so this changes the implementation of `replace` to use `read` and `write` instead.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/83019.
I wrote there:
> Implementing the simpler operation (replace) with the much more complicated operation (swap) doesn't make a whole lot of sense. `replace` is just read+write, and the primitive for moving out of a `&mut`. `swap` is for doing that to *two* `&mut` at the same time, which is both more niche and more complicated (as shown by `swap_nonoverlapping_bytes`).
This could be especially interesting for `Option<VeryLargeStruct>::take()`, since swapping such a large structure with `swap_nonoverlapping_bytes` is going to be much less efficient than `ptr::write()`'ing a `None`.
But also for small values where `swap` just reads/writes using temporary variable, this makes a `replace` or `take` operation simpler:
