Most of these are because alloc uses `#[lang_item]` to define methods,
but core documents primitives before those methods are available.
- Fix rustdoc-js-std test
For some reason this change made CStr not show up in the results for
`str,u8`. Since it still shows up for str, and since it wasn't a great
match for that query anyway, I think this is ok to let slide.
- Add test that all primitives can be linked to
- Enable `doc(primitive)` in `core` as well
- Add linkcheck exception specifically for Windows
Ideally this would be done automatically by the linkchecker by
replacing `\\` with forward slashes, but this PR is already a ton of
work ...
- Don't forcibly fail linkchecking if there's a broken intra-doc link on Windows
Previously, it would exit with a hard error if a missing file had `::`
in it. This changes it to report a missing file instead, which allows
adding an exception.
This works by doing two things:
- Adding links that are specific to the crate. Since not all primitive
items are defined in `core` (due to lang_items), these need to use
relative links and not intra-doc links.
- Duplicating `primitive_docs` in both core and std. This allows not needing CARGO_PKG_NAME to build the standard library. It also adds a tidy check to make sure they stay the same.
Reword description of automatic impls of `Unsize`.
The existing documentation felt a little unhelpfully concise, so this change tries to improve it by using longer sentences, each of which specifies which kinds of types it applies to as early as possible. In particular, the third item starts with “Structs ...” instead of saying “Foo is a struct” later.
Also, the previous list items “Only the last field has a type involving `T`” and “`T` is not part of the type of any other fields” are, as far as I see, redundant with each other, so I removed the latter.
I have no particular knowledge of `Unsize`; I have attempted to leave the meaning entirely unchanged but may have missed a nuance.
Markdown preview of the edited documentation:
> All implementations of `Unsize` are provided automatically by the compiler.
> Those implementations are:
>
> - Arrays `[T; N]` implement `Unsize<[T]>`.
> - Types implementing a trait `Trait` also implement `Unsize<dyn Trait>`.
> - Structs `Foo<..., T, ...>` implement `Unsize<Foo<..., U, ...>>` if all of these conditions
> are met:
> - `T: Unsize<U>`.
> - Only the last field of `Foo` has a type involving `T`.
> - `Bar<T>: Unsize<Bar<U>>`, where `Bar<T>` stands for the actual type of that last field.
Add proc_macro::Span::{before, after}.
This adds `proc_macro::Span::before()` and `proc_macro::Span::after()` to get a zero width span at the start or end of the span.
These are equivalent to rustc's `Span::shrink_to_lo()` and `Span::shrink_to_hi()` but with a less cryptic name. They are useful when generating diagnostlics like "missing \<thing\> after \<thing\>".
E.g.
```rust
syn::Error::new(ident.span().after(), "missing `:` after field name").into_compile_error()
```
Correct “copies” to “moves” in `<Option<T> as From<T>>::from` doc, and other copyediting
The `impl<T> From<T> for Option<T>` has no `Copy` or `Clone` bound, so its operation is guaranteed to be a move. The call site might copy, but the function itself cannot.
Since that would have been a rather small PR, I also reviewed the other documentation in the file and made other improvements (in separate commits): adding periods and commas, linking `Deref::Target`, and clarifying what "a container" is in `FromIterator`.
More symbolic doc aliases
A bunch of small changes, mostly adding `#[doc(alias = "…")]` entries for symbolic `"…"`.
Also a small change in documentation of `const` keywords.
Suggest deriving traits if possible
This only applies to builtin derives as I don't think there is a
clean way to get the available derives in typeck.

BTreeMap/BTreeSet::from_iter: use bulk building to improve the performance
Bulk building is a common technique to increase the performance of building a fresh btree map. Instead of inserting items one-by-one, we sort all the items beforehand then create the BtreeMap in bulk.
Benchmark
```
./x.py bench library/alloc --test-args btree::map::from_iter

Document when to use Windows' `symlink_dir` vs. `symlink_file`
It was previously unclear why there are two functions and when they should be used.
Fixes: #88635
Add links in docs for some primitive types
This pull request adds additional links in existing documentation of some of the primitive types.
Where items are linked only once, I have used the `[link](destination)` format. For items in `std`, I have linked directly to the HTML, since although the primitives are in `core`, they are not displayed on `core` documentation. I was unsure of what length I should keep lines of documentation to, so I tried to keep them within reason.
Additionally, I have avoided excessively linking to keywords like `self` when they are not relevant to the documentation. I can add these links if it would be an improvement.
I hope this can improve Rust. Please let me know if there's anything I did wrong!
This implementation has no `Copy` or `Clone` bound, so its operation is
guaranteed to be a move. The call site might copy, but the function
itself cannot.
Also linkify `Some` while we're touching the line anyway.
remove redundant / misplaced sentence from docs
Removes sentence that seems to have drifted down into the examples section. Luckily, someone already added an explanation of what happens with packed structs back into the initial section of the doc entry and this wayward sentence can likely just be deleted.
Add an example for deriving PartialOrd on enums
For some reason, I always forget which variants are smaller and which
are larger when you derive PartialOrd on an enum. And the wording in the
current docs is not entirely clear to me.
So, I often end up making a small enum, deriving PartialOrd on it, and
then writing a `#[test]` with an assert that the top one is smaller than
the bottom one (or the other way around) to figure out which way the
deriving goes.
So then I figured, it would be great if the standard library docs just
had that example, so if I keep forgetting, at least I can figure it out
quickly by looking at std's docs.
