Add a dedicated length-prefixing method to `Hasher`
This accomplishes two main goals:
- Make it clear who is responsible for prefix-freedom, including how they should do it
- Make it feasible for a `Hasher` that *doesn't* care about Hash-DoS resistance to get better performance by not hashing lengths
This does not change rustc-hash, since that's in an external crate, but that could potentially use it in future.
Fixes#94026
r? rust-lang/libs

The core of this change is the following two new methods on `Hasher`:
```rust
pub trait Hasher {
/// Writes a length prefix into this hasher, as part of being prefix-free.
///
/// If you're implementing [`Hash`] for a custom collection, call this before
/// writing its contents to this `Hasher`. That way
/// `(collection![1, 2, 3], collection![4, 5])` and
/// `(collection![1, 2], collection![3, 4, 5])` will provide different
/// sequences of values to the `Hasher`
///
/// The `impl<T> Hash for [T]` includes a call to this method, so if you're
/// hashing a slice (or array or vector) via its `Hash::hash` method,
/// you should **not** call this yourself.
///
/// This method is only for providing domain separation. If you want to
/// hash a `usize` that represents part of the *data*, then it's important
/// that you pass it to [`Hasher::write_usize`] instead of to this method.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// #![feature(hasher_prefixfree_extras)]
/// # // Stubs to make the `impl` below pass the compiler
/// # struct MyCollection<T>(Option<T>);
/// # impl<T> MyCollection<T> {
/// # fn len(&self) -> usize { todo!() }
/// # }
/// # impl<'a, T> IntoIterator for &'a MyCollection<T> {
/// # type Item = T;
/// # type IntoIter = std::iter::Empty<T>;
/// # fn into_iter(self) -> Self::IntoIter { todo!() }
/// # }
///
/// use std:#️⃣:{Hash, Hasher};
/// impl<T: Hash> Hash for MyCollection<T> {
/// fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H) {
/// state.write_length_prefix(self.len());
/// for elt in self {
/// elt.hash(state);
/// }
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Note to Implementers
///
/// If you've decided that your `Hasher` is willing to be susceptible to
/// Hash-DoS attacks, then you might consider skipping hashing some or all
/// of the `len` provided in the name of increased performance.
#[inline]
#[unstable(feature = "hasher_prefixfree_extras", issue = "88888888")]
fn write_length_prefix(&mut self, len: usize) {
self.write_usize(len);
}
/// Writes a single `str` into this hasher.
///
/// If you're implementing [`Hash`], you generally do not need to call this,
/// as the `impl Hash for str` does, so you can just use that.
///
/// This includes the domain separator for prefix-freedom, so you should
/// **not** call `Self::write_length_prefix` before calling this.
///
/// # Note to Implementers
///
/// The default implementation of this method includes a call to
/// [`Self::write_length_prefix`], so if your implementation of `Hasher`
/// doesn't care about prefix-freedom and you've thus overridden
/// that method to do nothing, there's no need to override this one.
///
/// This method is available to be overridden separately from the others
/// as `str` being UTF-8 means that it never contains `0xFF` bytes, which
/// can be used to provide prefix-freedom cheaper than hashing a length.
///
/// For example, if your `Hasher` works byte-by-byte (perhaps by accumulating
/// them into a buffer), then you can hash the bytes of the `str` followed
/// by a single `0xFF` byte.
///
/// If your `Hasher` works in chunks, you can also do this by being careful
/// about how you pad partial chunks. If the chunks are padded with `0x00`
/// bytes then just hashing an extra `0xFF` byte doesn't necessarily
/// provide prefix-freedom, as `"ab"` and `"ab\u{0}"` would likely hash
/// the same sequence of chunks. But if you pad with `0xFF` bytes instead,
/// ensuring at least one padding byte, then it can often provide
/// prefix-freedom cheaper than hashing the length would.
#[inline]
#[unstable(feature = "hasher_prefixfree_extras", issue = "88888888")]
fn write_str(&mut self, s: &str) {
self.write_length_prefix(s.len());
self.write(s.as_bytes());
}
}
```
With updates to the `Hash` implementations for slices and containers to call `write_length_prefix` instead of `write_usize`.
`write_str` defaults to using `write_length_prefix` since, as was pointed out in the issue, the `write_u8(0xFF)` approach is insufficient for hashers that work in chunks, as those would hash `"a\u{0}"` and `"a"` to the same thing. But since `SipHash` works byte-wise (there's an internal buffer to accumulate bytes until a full chunk is available) it overrides `write_str` to continue to use the add-non-UTF-8-byte approach.
---
Compatibility:
Because the default implementation of `write_length_prefix` calls `write_usize`, the changed hash implementation for slices will do the same thing the old one did on existing `Hasher`s.
This accomplishes two main goals:
- Make it clear who is responsible for prefix-freedom, including how they should do it
- Make it feasible for a `Hasher` that *doesn't* care about Hash-DoS resistance to get better performance by not hashing lengths
This does not change rustc-hash, since that's in an external crate, but that could potentially use it in future.
Avoid using `rand::thread_rng` in the stdlib benchmarks.
This is kind of an anti-pattern because it introduces extra nondeterminism for no real reason. In thread_rng's case this comes both from the random seed and also from the reseeding operations it does, which occasionally does syscalls (which adds additional nondeterminism). The impact of this would be pretty small in most cases, but it's a good practice to avoid (particularly because avoiding it was not hard).
Anyway, several of our benchmarks already did the right thing here anyway, so the change was pretty easy and mostly just applying it more universally. That said, the stdlib benchmarks aren't particularly stable (nor is our benchmark framework particularly great), so arguably this doesn't matter that much in practice.
~~Anyway, this also bumps the `rand` dev-dependency to 0.8, since it had fallen somewhat out of date.~~ Nevermind, too much of a headache.
Tweak the vec-calloc runtime check to only apply to shortish-arrays
r? `@Mark-Simulacrum`
`@nbdd0121` pointed out in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95362#issuecomment-1114085395 that LLVM currently doesn't constant-fold the `IsZero` check for long arrays, so that seems like a reasonable justification for limiting it.
It appears that it's based on length, not byte size, (https://godbolt.org/z/4s48Y81dP), so that's what I used in the PR. Maybe it's a ["the number of inlining shall be three"](https://youtu.be/s4wnuiCwTGU?t=320) sort of situation.
Certainly there's more that could be done here -- that generated code that checks long arrays byte-by-byte is highly suboptimal, for example -- but this is an easy, low-risk tweak.
std::fmt: Various fixes and improvements to documentation
This PR contains the following changes:
- **Added argument index comments to examples for specifying precision**
The examples for specifying the precision have comments explaining which
argument the specifier is referring to. However, for implicit positional
arguments, the examples simply refer to "next arg". To simplify following the
comments, "next arg" was supplemented with the actual resulting argument index.
- **Fixed documentation for specifying precision via `.*`**
The documentation stated that in case of the syntax `{<arg>:<spec>.*}`, "the
`<arg>` part refers to the value to print, and the precision must come in the
input preceding `<arg>`". This is not correct: the <arg> part does indeed refer
to the value to print, but the precision does not come in the input preciding
arg, but in the next implicit input (as if specified with {}).
Fixes#96413.
- **Fix the grammar documentation**
According to the grammar documented, the format specifier `{: }` should not be
legal because of the whitespace it contains. However, in reality, this is
perfectly fine because the actual implementation allows spaces before the
closing brace. Fixes#71088.
Also, the exact meaning of most of the terminal symbols was not specified, for
example the meaning of `identifier`.
- **Removed reference to Formatter::buf and other private fields**
Formatter::buf is not a public field and therefore isn't very helpful in user-
facing documentation. Also, the other public fields of Formatter were removed
during stabilization of std::fmt (4af3494bb0) and can only be accessed via
getters.
- **Improved list of formatting macros**
Two improvements:
1. write! can not only receive a `io::Write`, but also a `fmt::Write` as first argument.
2. The description texts now contain links to the actual macros for easier
navigation.
Clarify docs for `from_raw_parts` on `Vec` and `String`
Closes#95427
Original safety explanation for `from_raw_parts` was unclear on safety for consuming a C string. This clarifies when doing so is safe.
Classify BinaryHeap & LinkedList unit tests as such
All but one of these so-called integration test case are unit tests, just like btree's were (#75531). In addition, reunite the unit tests of linked_list that were split off during #23104 because they needed to remain unit tests (they were later moved to the separate file they are in during #63207). The two sets could remain separate files, but I opted to merge them back together, more or less in the order they used to be, apart from one duplicate name `test_split_off` and one duplicate tiny function `list_from`.
Using unwrap_unchecked helps the optimizer to not generate panicking
path, that will never be taken for valid UTF-8 like string.
Using encode_utf8 saves us a call to a memcpy, as the optimizer is
unable to realize that ch_len <= 4 and so can generate much better
assembly code.

Implement str to [u8] conversion for refcounted containers
This seems motivated to complete the APIs for shared containers since we already have similar allocation-free conversions for strings like `From<Box<[u8]>> for Box<str>`.
Insta-stable since it's a new trait impl?
Revert "Re-export core::ffi types from std::ffi"
This reverts commit 9aed829fe6.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/96435 , a regression
in crates doing `use std::ffi::*;` and `use std::os::raw::*;`.
We can re-add this re-export once the `core::ffi` types
are stable, and thus the `std::os::raw` types can become re-exports as
well, which will avoid the conflict. (Type aliases to the same type
still conflict, but re-exports of the same type don't.)
Clarify that `Cow::into_owned` returns owned data
Two sections of the `Cow::into_owned` docs imply that `into_owned` returns a `Cow`. Clarify that it returns the underlying owned object, either cloned or extracted from the `Cow`.
Fix some confusing wording and improve slice-search-related docs
This adds more links between `contains` and `binary_search` because I do think they have some relevant connections. If your (big) slice happens to be sorted and you know it, surely you should be using `[3; 100].binary_search(&5).is_ok()` over `[3; 100].contains(&5)`?
This also fixes the confusing "searches this sorted X" wording which just sounds really weird because it doesn't know whether it's actually sorted. It should be but it may not be. The new wording should make it clearer that you will probably want to sort it and in the same sentence it also mentions the related function `contains`.
Similarly, this mentions `binary_search` on `contains`' docs.
This also fixes some other minor stuff and inconsistencies.

`alloc`: make `vec!` unavailable under `no_global_oom_handling`
`alloc`: make `vec!` unavailable under `no_global_oom_handling`
The `vec!` macro has 3 rules, but two are not usable under
`no_global_oom_handling` builds of the standard library
(even with a zero size):
```rust
let _ = vec![42]; // Error: requires `exchange_malloc` lang_item.
let _ = vec![42; 0]; // Error: cannot find function `from_elem`.
```
Thus those two rules should not be available to begin with.
The remaining one, with an empty matcher, is just a shorthand for
`new()` and may not make as much sense to have alone, since the
idea behind `vec!` is to enable `Vec`s to be defined with the same
syntax as array expressions. Furthermore, the documentation can be
confusing since it shows the other rules.
Thus perhaps it is better and simpler to disable `vec!` entirely
under `no_global_oom_handling` environments, and let users call
`new()` instead:
```rust
let _: Vec<i32> = vec![];
let _: Vec<i32> = Vec::new();
```
Notwithstanding this, a `try_vec!` macro would be useful, such as
the one introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95051.
If the shorthand for `new()` is deemed worth keeping on its own,
then it may be interesting to have a separate `vec!` macro with
a single rule and different, simpler documentation.

Speed up Vec::clear().
Currently it just calls `truncate(0)`. `truncate()` is (a) not marked as
`#[inline]`, and (b) more general than needed for `clear()`.
This commit changes `clear()` to do the work itself. This modest change
was first proposed in rust-lang#74172, where the reviewer rejected it because
there was insufficient evidence that `Vec::clear()`'s performance
mattered enough to justify the change. Recent changes within rustc have
made `Vec::clear()` hot within `macro_parser.rs`, so the change is now
clearly worthwhile.
Although it doesn't show wins on CI perf runs, this seems to be because they
use PGO. But not all platforms currently use PGO. Also, local builds don't use
PGO, and `truncate` sometimes shows up in an over-represented fashion in local
profiles. So local profiling will be made easier by this change.
Note that this will also benefit `String::clear()`, because it just
calls `Vec::clear()`.
Finally, the commit removes the `vec-clear.rs` codegen test. It was
added in #52908. From before then until now, `Vec::clear()` just called
`Vec::truncate()` with a zero length. The body of Vec::truncate() has
changed a lot since then. Now that `Vec::clear()` is doing actual work
itself, and not just calling `Vec::truncate()`, it's not surprising that
its generated code includes a load and an icmp. I think it's reasonable
to remove this test.

Optimize RcInnerPtr::inc_strong()/inc_weak() instruction count
Inspired by this internals thread: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/rc-optimization-on-64-bit-targets/16362
[The generated assembly is a bit smaller](https://rust.godbolt.org/z/TeTnf6144) and is a more efficient usage of the CPU's instruction cache. `unlikely` doesn't impact any of the small artificial tests I've done, but I've included it in case it might help more complex scenarios when this is inlined.

Update binary_search example to instead redirect to partition_point
Inspired by discussion in the tracking issue for `Result::into_ok_or_err`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82223#issuecomment-1067098167
People are surprised by us not providing a `Result<T, T> -> T` conversion, and the main culprit for this confusion seems to be the `binary_search` API. We should instead redirect people to the equivalent API that implicitly does that `Result<T, T> -> T` conversion internally which should obviate the need for the `into_ok_or_err` function and give us time to work towards a more general solution that applies to all enums rather than just `Result` such as making or_patterns usable for situations like this via postfix `match`.
I choose to duplicate the example rather than simply moving it from `binary_search` to partition point because most of the confusion seems to arise when people are looking at `binary_search`. It makes sense to me to have the example presented immediately rather than requiring people to click through to even realize there is an example. If I had to put it in only one place I'd leave it in `binary_search` and remove it from `partition_point` but it seems pretty obviously relevant to `partition_point` so I figured the best option would be to duplicate it.
**This Commit**
Adds some clarity around indexing into Strings and the constraints
driving various decisions there.
**Why?**
The [`String` documentation][0] mentions how `String`s can't be indexed
but `Range` has an implementation for `SliceIndex<str>`. This can be
confusing. There are also several statements to explain the lack of
`String` indexing:
- the inability to index into a `String` is an implication of UTF-8
encoding
- indexing into a `String` could not be constant-time with UTF-8
encoding
- indexing into a `String` does not have an obvious return type
This last statement made sense but the first two seemed contradictory to
the documentation around [`SliceIndex<str>`][1] which mention:
- one can index into a `String` with a `Range` (also called substring
slicing but it uses the same syntax and the method name is `index`)
- `Range` indexing into a `String` is constant-time
To resolve this seeming contradiction the documentation is reworked to
more clearly explain what factors drive the decision to disallow
indexing into a `String` with a single number.

Add debug assertions to some unsafe functions
As suggested by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51713
~~Some similar code calls `abort()` instead of `panic!()` but aborting doesn't work in a `const fn`, and the intrinsic for doing dispatch based on whether execution is in a const is unstable.~~
This picked up some invalid uses of `get_unchecked` in the compiler, and fixes them.
I can confirm that they do in fact pick up invalid uses of `get_unchecked` in the wild, though the user experience is less-than-awesome:
```

```
~~As best I can tell these changes produce a 6% regression in the runtime of `./x.py test` when `[rust] debug = true` is set.~~
Latest commit (6894d559bd) brings the additional overhead from this PR down to 0.5%, while also adding a few more assertions. I think this actually covers all the places in `core` that it is reasonable to check for safety requirements at runtime.

Fix double drop of allocator in IntoIter impl of Vec
Fixes#95269
The `drop` impl of `IntoIter` reconstructs a `RawVec` from `buf`, `cap` and `alloc`, when that `RawVec` is dropped it also drops the allocator. To avoid dropping the allocator twice we wrap it in `ManuallyDrop` in the `InttoIter` struct.
Note this is my first contribution to the standard library, so I might be missing some details or a better way to solve this.
allow arbitrary inherent impls for builtin types in core
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/487. Slightly adjusted after some talks with `@m-ou-se` about the requirements of `t-libs-api`.
This adds a crate attribute `#![rustc_coherence_is_core]` which allows arbitrary impls for builtin types in core.
For other library crates impls for builtin types should be avoided if possible. We do have to allow the existing stable impls however. To prevent us from accidentally adding more of these in the future, there is a second attribute `#[rustc_allow_incoherent_impl]` which has to be added to **all impl items**. This only supports impls for builtin types but can easily be extended to additional types in a future PR.
This implementation does not check for overlaps in these impls. Perfectly checking that requires us to check the coherence of these incoherent impls in every crate, as two distinct dependencies may add overlapping methods. It should be easy enough to detect if it goes wrong and the attribute is only intended for use inside of std.
The first two commits are mostly unrelated cleanups.
These debug assertions are all implemented only at runtime using
`const_eval_select`, and in the error path they execute
`intrinsics::abort` instead of being a normal debug assertion to
minimize the impact of these assertions on code size, when enabled.
Of all these changes, the bounds checks for unchecked indexing are
expected to be most impactful (case in point, they found a problem in
rustc).
Refactor set_ptr_value as with_metadata_of
Replaces `set_ptr_value` (#75091) with methods of reversed argument order:
```rust
impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
pub fn with_metadata_of<U: ?Sized>(self, val: *mut U) -> *mut U;
}
impl<T: ?Sized> *const T {
pub fn with_metadata_of<U: ?Sized>(self, val: *const U) -> *const U;
}
```
By reversing the arguments we achieve several clarifications:
- The function closely resembles `cast` with an argument to
initialize the metadata. This is easier to teach and answers a long
outstanding question that had restricted cast to `Sized` pointee
targets. See multiples reviews of
<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/47631>
- The 'object identity', in the form of provenance, is now preserved
from the receiver argument to the result. This helps explain the method as
a builder-style, instead of some kind of setter that would modify
something in-place. Ensuring that the result has the identity of the
`self` argument is also beneficial for an intuition of effects.
- An outstanding concern, 'Correct argument type', is avoided by not
committing to any specific argument type. This is consistent with cast
which does not require its receiver to be a 'raw address'.
Hopefully the usage examples in `sync/rc.rs` serve as sufficient examples of the style to convince the reader of the readability improvements of this style, when compared to the previous order of arguments.
I want to take the opportunity to motivate inclusion of this method _separate_ from metadata API, separate from `feature(ptr_metadata)`. It does _not_ involve the `Pointee` trait in any form. This may be regarded as a very, very light form that does not commit to any details of the pointee trait, or its associated metadata. There are several use cases for which this is already sufficient and no further inspection of metadata is necessary.
- Storing the coercion of `*mut T` into `*mut dyn Trait` as a way to dynamically cast some an arbitrary instance of the same type to a dyn trait instance. In particular, one can have a field of type `Option<*mut dyn io::Seek>` to memorize if a particular writer is seekable. Then a method `fn(self: &T) -> Option<&dyn Seek>` can be provided, which does _not_ involve the static trait bound `T: Seek`. This makes it possible to create an API that is capable of utilizing seekable streams and non-seekable streams (instead of a possible less efficient manner such as more buffering) through the same entry-point.
- Enabling more generic forms of unsizing for no-`std` smart pointers. Using the stable APIs only few concrete cases are available. One can unsize arrays to `[T]` by `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts` but unsizing a custom smart pointer to, e.g., `dyn Iterator`, `dyn Future`, `dyn Debug`, can't easily be done generically. Exposing `with_metadata_of` would allow smart pointers to offer their own `unsafe` escape hatch with similar parameters where the caller provides the unsized metadata. This is particularly interesting for embedded where `dyn`-trait usage can drastically reduce code size.
Allow comparing `Vec`s with different allocators using `==`
See https://stackoverflow.com/q/71021633/7884305.
I did not changed the `PartialOrd` impl too because it was not generic already (didn't support `Vec<T> <=> Vec<U> where T: PartialOrd<U>`).
Does it needs tests?
I don't think this will hurt type inference much because the default allocator is usually not inferred (`new()` specifies it directly, and even with other allocators, you pass the allocator to `new_in()` so the compiler usually knows the type).
I think this requires FCP since the impls are already stable.
Fix typo in `String::try_reserve_exact` docs
Copying the pattern from `Vec::try_reserve_exact` and `String::try_reserve`,
it looks like this doc comment is intending to refer to the currently-being-documented
function.

Hermit now properly separates kernel from userspace.
Applications for hermit can now use Rust's default alloc_error_handler instead of calling the kernel's __rg_oom.
add module-level documentation for vec's in-place iteration
As requested in the last libs team meeting and during previous reviews.
Feel free to point out any gaps you encounter, after all non-obvious things may with hindsight seem obvious to me.

By reversing the arguments we achieve several clarifications:
- The function closely resembles `cast` but with an argument to
initialized the metadata. This is easier to teach and answers an long
outstanding question that had restricted cast to `Sized` targets
initially. See multiples reviews of
<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/47631>
- The 'object identity', in the form or provenance, is now preserved
from the call receiver to the result. This helps explain the method as
a builder-style, instead of some kind of setter that would modify
something in-place. Ensuring that the result has the identity of the
`self` argument is also beneficial for an intuition of effects.
- An outstanding concern, 'Correct argument type', is avoided by not
committing to any specific argument type. This is consistent with cast
which does not require its receiver to be a raw address.
BTreeMap::entry: Avoid allocating if no insertion
This PR allows the `VacantEntry` to borrow from an empty tree with no root, and to lazily allocate a new root node when the user calls `.insert(value)`.
Made the fields of VecDeque's Iter private by creating a Iter::new(...) function to create a new instance of Iter and migrating usage to use Iter::new(...).
Improve doc wording for retain on some collections
I found the documentation wording on the various retain methods on many collections to be unusual.
I tried to invert the relation by switching `such that` with `for which` .
Use modern formatting for format! macros
This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new format_args syntax.
The documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
`eprintln!("{}", e)` becomes `eprintln!("{e}")`, but `eprintln!("{}", e.kind())` remains untouched.

fix typo in btree/vec doc: Self -> self
this pr fixes#92345
the documentation refers to the object the method is called for, not the type, so it should be using the lower case self.
Fix a layout possible miscalculation in `alloc::RawVec`
A layout miscalculation could happen in `RawVec` when used with a type whose size isn't a multiple of its alignment. I don't know if such type can exist in Rust, but the Layout API provides ways to manipulate such types. Anyway, it is better to calculate memory size in a consistent way.
Add documentation to more `From::from` implementations.
For users looking at documentation through IDE popups, this gives them relevant information rather than the generic trait documentation wording “Performs the conversion”. For users reading the documentation for a specific type for any reason, this informs them when the conversion may allocate or copy significant memory versus when it is always a move or cheap copy.
Notes on specific cases:
* The new documentation for `From<T> for T` explains that it is not a conversion at all.
* Also documented `impl<T, U> Into<U> for T where U: From<T>`, the other central blanket implementation of conversion.
* The new documentation for construction of maps and sets from arrays of keys mentions the handling of duplicates. Future work could be to do this for *all* code paths that convert an iterable to a map or set.
* I did not add documentation to conversions of a specific error type to a more general error type.
* I did not add documentation to unstable code.
This change was prepared by searching for the text "From<... for" and so may have missed some cases that for whatever reason did not match. I also looked for `Into` impls but did not find any worth documenting by the above criteria.
Optimize `core::str::Chars::count`
I wrote this a while ago after seeing this function as a bottleneck in a profile, but never got around to contributing it. I saw it again, and so here it is. The implementation is fairly complex, but I tried to explain what's happening at both a high level (in the header comment for the file), and in line comments in the impl. Hopefully it's clear enough.
This implementation (`case00_cur_libcore` in the benchmarks below) is somewhat consistently around 4x to 5x faster than the old implementation (`case01_old_libcore` in the benchmarks below), for a wide variety of workloads, without regressing performance on any of the workload sizes I've tried.
I also improved the benchmarks for this code, so that they explicitly check text in different languages and of different sizes (err, the cross product of language x size). The results of the benchmarks are here:

I also added fairly thorough tests for different sizes and alignments. This completes on my machine in 0.02s, which is surprising given how thorough they are, but it seems to detect bugs in the implementation. (I haven't run the tests on a 32 bit machine yet since before I reworked the code a little though, so... hopefully I'm not about to embarrass myself).
This uses similar SWAR-style techniques to the `is_ascii` impl I contributed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74066, so I'm going to request review from the same person who reviewed that one. That said am not particularly picky, and might not have the correct syntax for requesting a review from someone (so it goes).
