`Mutex::lock()` and `RwLock::write()` are poison-guarded against panics,
in that they set the poison flag if a panic occurs while they're locked.
But if we're already in a panic (`thread::panicking()`), they leave the
poison flag alone.
That check is a bit of a waste for methods that never set the poison
flag though, namely `get_mut()`, `into_inner()`, and `RwLock::read()`.
These use-cases are now split to avoid that unnecessary call.
impl Read and Write for VecDeque<u8>
Implementing `Read` and `Write` for `VecDeque<u8>` fills in the VecDeque api surface where `Vec<u8>` and `Cursor<Vec<u8>>` already impl Read and Write. Not only for completeness, but VecDeque in particular is a very handy mock interface for a TCP echo service, if only it supported Read/Write.
Since this PR is just an impl trait, I don't think there is a way to limit it behind a feature flag, so it's "insta-stable". Please correct me if I'm wrong here, not trying to rush stability.
BTreeSet: avoid intermediate sorting when collecting sorted iterators
As [pointed out by droundy](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/question-about-btreeset-implementation/76427), an obvious optimization is to skip the first step introduced by #88448 (creation of a vector and sorting) and it's easy to do so for btree's own iterators. Also, exploit `from` in the examples.
This commit adds a new unstable attribute, `#[doc(tuple_varadic)]`, that
shows a 1-tuple as `(T, ...)` instead of just `(T,)`, and links to a section
in the tuple primitive docs that talks about these.
Suggest using `iter()` or `into_iter()` for `Vec`
We cannot do that for `&Vec` because `#[rustc_on_unimplemented]` is limited (it does not clean generic instantiation for references, only for ADTs).

The consensus seems to be that rust_eh_personality is never invoked.
I patched __gxx_personality_v0 to log invocations and then ran
various panic tests and it was never called, so this analysis matches
what seems to happen in practice. This replaces the definition with
an abort, modeled on the structured exception handling implementation.
Use repr(C) when depending on struct layout in ptr tests
The test depends on the layout of this struct `Pair`, so it should use `repr(C)` instead of the default `repr(Rust)`.
In some situations it is possible for required functions to be called before they've had a chance to be loaded. Therefore, we make it possible to recover from this situation simply by looking at error codes.
Add documentation to `std::os::unix::io` describing Rust's stance on
`/proc/self/mem`, treating it as an external entity which is outside
the scope of Rust's safety guarantees.
Remove confusing sentence from `Mutex` docs
The docs were saying something about "statically initializing" the
mutex, and it's not clear what this means. Remove that part to avoid
confusion.
Improve the safety docs for `CStr`
Namely, the two functions `from_ptr` and `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked`.

This doesn't change the content of the docs, but simply rewords them for
clarity.
note: I'm not entirely sure about the '`ptr` must be valid for reads of `u8`.', there might be room for improvement for this (and maybe for the other docs as well 😄)

Remove migrate borrowck mode
Closes#58781Closes#43234
# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(nll)]` and the removal of `-Z borrowck`. Current borrow checking behavior of item bodies is currently done by first infering regions *lexically* and reporting any errors during HIR type checking. If there *are* any errors, then MIR borrowck (NLL) never occurs. If there *aren't* any errors, then MIR borrowck happens and any errors there would be reported. This PR removes the lexical region check of item bodies entirely and only uses MIR borrowck. Because MIR borrowck could never *not* be run for a compiled program, this should not break any programs. It does, however, change diagnostics significantly and allows a slightly larger set of programs to compile.
Tracking issue: #43234
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2094-nll.md
Version: 1.63 (2022-06-30 => beta, 2022-08-11 => stable).
## Motivation
Over time, the Rust borrow checker has become "smarter" and thus allowed more programs to compile. There have been three different implementations: AST borrowck, MIR borrowck, and polonius (well, in progress). Additionally, there is the "lexical region resolver", which (roughly) solves the constraints generated through HIR typeck. It is not a full borrow checker, but does emit some errors.
The AST borrowck was the original implementation of the borrow checker and was part of the initially stabilized Rust 1.0. In mid 2017, work began to implement the current MIR borrow checker and that effort ompleted by the end of 2017, for the most part. During 2018, efforts were made to migrate away from the AST borrow checker to the MIR borrow checker - eventually culminating into "migrate" mode - where HIR typeck with lexical region resolving following by MIR borrow checking - being active by default in the 2018 edition.
In early 2019, migrate mode was turned on by default in the 2015 edition as well, but with MIR borrowck errors emitted as warnings. By late 2019, these warnings were upgraded to full errors. This was followed by the complete removal of the AST borrow checker.
In the period since, various errors emitted by the MIR borrow checker have been improved to the point that they are mostly the same or better than those emitted by the lexical region resolver.
While there do remain some degradations in errors (tracked under the [NLL-diagnostics tag](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-diagnostics), those are sufficiently small and rare enough that increased flexibility of MIR borrow check-only is now a worthwhile tradeoff.
## What is stabilized
As said previously, this does not fundamentally change the landscape of accepted programs. However, there are a [few](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-fixed-by-NLL) cases where programs can compile under `feature(nll)`, but not otherwise.
There are two notable patterns that are "fixed" by this stabilization. First, the `scoped_threads` feature, which is a continutation of a pre-1.0 API, can sometimes emit a [weird lifetime error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95527) without NLL. Second, actually seen in the standard library. In the `Extend` impl for `HashMap`, there is an implied bound of `K: 'a` that is available with NLL on but not without - this is utilized in the impl.
As mentioned before, there are a large number of diagnostic differences. Most of them are better, but some are worse. None are serious or happen often enough to need to block this PR. The biggest change is the loss of error code for a number of lifetime errors in favor of more general "lifetime may not live long enough" error. While this may *seem* bad, the former error codes were just attempts to somewhat-arbitrarily bin together lifetime errors of the same type; however, on paper, they end up being roughly the same with roughly the same kinds of solutions.
## What isn't stabilized
This PR does not completely remove the lexical region resolver. In the future, it may be possible to remove that (while still keeping HIR typeck) or to remove it together with HIR typeck.
## Tests
Many test outputs get updated by this PR. However, there are number of tests specifically geared towards NLL under `src/test/ui/nll`

Add note to documentation of HashSet::intersection
The functionality of the `std::collections::HashSet::intersection(...)` method was slightly surprising to me so I wanted to take a sec to contribute to the documentation for this method.
I've added a `Note:` section if that is appropriate.
use strict provenance APIs
The stdlib was adjusted to avoid bare int2ptr casts, but recently some casts of that sort have sneaked back in. Let's fix that. :)
implement ptr.addr() via transmute
As per the discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/286, the semantics for ptr-to-int transmutes that we are going with for now is to make them strip provenance without exposing it. That's exactly what `ptr.addr()` does! So we can implement `ptr.addr()` via `transmute`. This also means that once https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97684 lands, Miri can distinguish `ptr.addr()` from `ptr.expose_addr()`, and the following code will correctly be called out as having UB (if permissive provenance mode is enabled, which will become the default once the [implementation is complete](https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/2133)):
```rust
fn main() {
let x: i32 = 3;
let x_ptr = &x as *const i32;
let x_usize: usize = x_ptr.addr();
// Cast back an address that did *not* get exposed.
let ptr = std::ptr::from_exposed_addr::<i32>(x_usize);
assert_eq!(unsafe { *ptr }, 3); //~ ERROR Undefined Behavior: dereferencing pointer failed
}
```
This completes the Miri implementation of the new distinctions introduced by strict provenance. :)
Cc `@Gankra` -- for now I left in your `FIXME(strict_provenance_magic)` saying these should be intrinsics, but I do not necessarily agree that they should be. Or if we have an intrinsic, I think it should behave exactly like the `transmute` does, which makes one wonder why the intrinsic should be needed.

Call the OS function to set the main thread's name on program init
Normally, `Thread::spawn` takes care of setting the thread's name, if
one was provided, but since the main thread wasn't created by calling
`Thread::spawn`, we need to call that function in `std::rt::init`.
This is mainly useful for system tools like debuggers and profilers
which might show the thread name to a user. Prior to these changes, gdb
and WinDbg would show all thread names except the main thread's name to
a user. I've validated that this patch resolves the issue for both
debuggers.
Lazily allocate and initialize pthread locks.
Lazily allocate and initialize pthread locks.
This allows {Mutex, Condvar, RwLock}::new() to be const, while still using the platform's native locks for features like priority inheritance and debug tooling. E.g. on macOS, we cannot directly use the (private) APIs that pthread's locks are implemented with, making it impossible for us to use anything other than pthread while still preserving priority inheritance, etc.
This PR doesn't yet make the public APIs const. That's for a separate PR with an FCP.

Avoid zero-sized allocs in ThinBox if T and H are both ZSTs.
This was surprisingly tricky, and took longer to get right than expected. `ThinBox` is a surprisingly subtle piece of code. That said, in the end, a lot of this was due to overthinking[^overthink] -- ultimately the fix ended up fairly clean and simple.
[^overthink]: Honestly, for a while I was convinced this couldn't be done without allocations or runtime branches in these cases, but that's obviously untrue.
Anyway, as a result of spending all that time debugging, I've extended the tests quite a bit, and also added more debug assertions. Many of these helped for subtle bugs I made in the middle (for example, the alloc/drop tracking is because I ended up double-dropping the value in the case where both were ZSTs), they're arguably a bit of overkill at this point, although I imagine they could help in the future too.
Anyway, these tests cover a wide range of size/align cases, nd fully pass under miri[^1]. They also do some smoke-check asserting that the value has the correct alignment, although in practice it's totally within the compiler's rights to delete these assertions since we'd have already done UB if they get hit. They have more boilerplate than they really need, but it's not *too* bad on a per-test basis.
A notable absence from testing is atypical header types, but at the moment it's impossible to manually implement `Pointee`. It would be really nice to have testing here, since it's not 100% obvious to me that the aligned read/write we use for `H` are correct in the face of arbitrary combinations of `size_of::<H>()`, `align_of::<H>()`, and `align_of::<T>()`. (That said, I spent a while thinking through it and am *pretty* sure it's fine -- I'd just feel... better if we could test some cases for non-ZST headers which have unequal and align).
[^1]: Or at least, they pass under miri if I copy the code and tests into a new crate and run miri on it (after making it less stdlibified).

Improve documentation for constructors of pinned `Box`es
Adds a cross-references between `Box::pin` and `Box::into_pin` (and other related methods, i.e. the equivalent `From` implementation, and the unstable `pin_in` method), in particular now that `into_pin` [was stabilized](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97397). The main goal is to further improve visibility of the fact that `Box<T> -> Pin<Box<T>>` conversion exits in the first place, and that `Box::pin(x)` is – essentially – just a convenience function for `Box::into_pin(Box::new(x))`
The motivating context why I think this is important is even experienced Rust users overlooking the existence this kind of conversion, [e.g. in this thread on IRLO](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-function-variants/16732/7?u=steffahn); and also the fact that that discussion brought up that there would be a bunch of Box-construction methods "missing" such as e.g. methods with fallible allocation a la "`Box::try_pin`", and similar; while those are in fact *not* necessary, because you can use `Box::into_pin(Box::try_new(x)?)` instead.
I have *not* included explicit mention of methods (e.g. `try_new`) in the docs of stable methods (e.g. `into_pin`). (Referring to unstable API in stable API docs would be bad style IMO.) Stable examples I have in mind with the statement "constructing a (pinned) Box in a different way than with `Box::new`" are things like cloning a `Box`, or `Box::from_raw`. If/when `try_new` would get stabilized, it would become a very good concrete example use-case of `Box::into_pin` IMO.

Add #[rustc_box] and use it inside alloc
This commit adds an alternative content boxing syntax, and uses it inside alloc.
```Rust
#![feature(box_syntax)]
fn foo() {
let foo = box bar;
}
```
is equivalent to
```Rust
#![feature(rustc_attrs)]
fn foo() {
let foo = #[rustc_box] Box::new(bar);
}
```
The usage inside the very performance relevant code in
liballoc is the only remaining relevant usage of box syntax
in the compiler (outside of tests, which are comparatively easy to port).
box syntax was originally designed to be used by all Rust
developers. This introduces a replacement syntax more tailored
to only being used inside the Rust compiler, and with it,
lays the groundwork for eventually removing box syntax.
[Earlier work](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87781#issuecomment-894714878) by `@nbdd0121` to lower `Box::new` to `box` during THIR -> MIR building ran into borrow checker problems, requiring the lowering to be adjusted in a way that led to [performance regressions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87781#issuecomment-894872367). The proposed change in this PR lowers `#[rustc_box] Box::new` -> `box` in the AST -> HIR lowering step, which is way earlier in the compiler, and thus should cause less issues both performance wise as well as regarding type inference/borrow checking/etc. Hopefully, future work can move the lowering further back in the compiler, as long as there are no performance regressions.
The change was "Show invisible delimiters (within comments) when pretty
printing". It's useful to show these delimiters, but is a breaking
change for some proc macros.

Tweak insert docs
For `{Hash, BTree}Map::insert`, I always have to take a few extra seconds to think about the slight weirdness about the fact that if we "did not" insert (which "sounds" false), we return true, and if we "did" insert, (which "sounds" true), we return false.
This tweaks the doc comments for the `insert` methods of those types (as well as what looks like a rustc internal data structure that I found just by searching the codebase for "If the set did") to first use the "Returns whether _something_" pattern used in e.g. `remove`, where we say that `remove` "returns whether the value was present".
Corrected EBNF grammar for from_str
Hello! This is my first time contributing to an open-source project. I'm excited to have the chance to contribute to the rust community 🥳
I noticed an issue with the documentation for `from_str` in `f32` and `f64`. It states that "All strings that adhere to the following [EBNF](https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-notation) grammar when lowercased will result in an `Ok` being returned. I believe this is incorrect for the string `"."`, which is valid for the given EBNF grammar, but does not result in an `Ok` being returned ([playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=09f891aa87963a56d3b0d715d8cbc2b4)). I have simplified the grammar in a way which fixes that, but is otherwise identical.
Previously, the `Number` part of the EBNF grammar had an option for `'.' Digit*`, which would include the string `"."`. This is not valid, and does not return an Ok as stated. The corrected version removes this, and still allows for the `'.' Digit+` case with the already existing `Digit* '.' Digit+` case.
Expose `get_many_mut` and `get_many_unchecked_mut` to HashMap

They obviously keep the same API and are added under the (new) `map_many_mut` feature.

Put a bound on collection misbehavior
As currently written, when a logic error occurs in a collection's trait parameters, this allows *completely arbitrary* misbehavior, so long as it does not cause undefined behavior in std. However, because the extent of misbehavior is not specified, it is allowed for *any* code in std to start misbehaving in arbitrary ways which are not formally UB; consider the theoretical example of a global which gets set on an observed logic error. Because the misbehavior is only bound by not resulting in UB from safe APIs and the crate-level encapsulation boundary of all of std, this makes writing user unsafe code that utilizes std theoretically impossible, as it now relies on undocumented QOI (quality of implementation) that unrelated parts of std cannot be caused to misbehave by a misuse of std::collections APIs.
In practice, this is a nonconcern, because std has reasonable QOI and an implementation that takes advantage of this freedom is essentially a malicious implementation and only compliant by the most langauage-lawyer reading of the documentation.
To close this hole, we just add a small clause to the existing logic error paragraph that ensures that any misbehavior is limited to the collection which observed the logic error, making it more plausible to prove the soundness of user unsafe code.
This is not meant to be formal; a formal refinement would likely need to mention that values derived from the collection can also misbehave after a logic error is observed, as well as define what it means to "observe" a logic error in the first place. This fix errs on the side of informality in order to close the hole without complicating a normal reading which can assume a reasonable nonmalicious QOI.

This technically adds a new guarantee to the documentation, though I argue as written it's one already implicitly provided.
Clarify the guarantees of Vec::as_ptr and Vec::as_mut_ptr when there's no allocation
Currently the documentation says they return a pointer to the vector's buffer, which has the implied precondition that the vector allocated some memory. However `Vec`'s documentation also specifies that it won't always allocate, so it's unclear whether the pointer returned is valid in that case. Of course you won't be able to read/write actual bytes to/from it since the capacity is 0, but there's an exception: zero sized read/writes. They are still valid as long as the pointer is not null and the memory it points to wasn't deallocated, but `Vec::as_ptr` and `Vec::as_mut_ptr` don't specify that's not the case. This PR thus specifies they are actually valid for zero sized reads since `Vec` is implemented to hold a dangling pointer in those cases, which is neither null nor was deallocated.

I ran the `tracing` test suite in miri, and it was really slow. I looked at a profile, and miri spent most of the time in `core::char::methods::escape_debug_ext`, where half of that was dominated by `core::unicode::printable::is_printable`. So I optimized it here.

Add doc alias `memset` to `write_bytes`
I were looking for `memset` in rust, but the docs only pointed me to `slice::fill`.
With only the old aliases, one might write code like this, which is incorrect if the memory is uninitialized.
``` Rust
core::slice::from_raw_parts(ptr, len).fill(0)
```
Document the current aliasing rules for `Box<T>`.
Currently, `Box<T>` gets `noalias`, meaning it has the same rules as `&mut T`. This is sparsely documented, even though it can have quite a big impact on unsafe code using box. Therefore, these rules are documented here, with a big warning that they are not normative and subject to change, since we have not yet committed to an aliasing model and the state of `Box<T>` is especially uncertain.
If you have any suggestions and improvements, make sure to leave them here. This is mostly intended to inform people about what is currently going on (to prevent misunderstandings such as [Jon Gjengset's Box aliasing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY7Wi9fV5bk)).
This is supposed to _only document current UB_ and not add any new guarantees or rules.

This would be relevant in the case of `f!"string literal"` being legal (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3267) in which case it would be the easiest way to create owned strings from literals, while also being just as efficient as any other impl
Remove "sys isn't exported yet" phrase
The oldest occurence is from 9e224c2bf1,
which is from the pre-1.0 days. In the years since then, std::sys still
hasn't been exported, and the last attempt was met with strong criticism:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97151
Thus, removing the "yet" part makes a lot of sense.
Use Box::new() instead of box syntax in library tests
The tests inside `library/*` have no reason to use `box` syntax as they have 0 performance relevance. Therefore, we can safely remove them (instead of having to use alternatives like the one in #97293).

This is groundwork to only allowing `impl const Trait` for traits that are marked with `#[const_trait]`. This is necessary to prevent adding a new default method from becoming a breaking change (as it could be a non-const fn).
Finish bumping stage0
It looks like the last time had left some remaining cfg's -- which made me think
that the stage0 bump was actually successful. This brings us to a released 1.62
beta though.
This now brings us to cfg-clean, with the exception of check-cfg-features in bootstrap;
I'd prefer to leave that for a separate PR at this time since it's likely to be more tricky.

ptr::invalid is not equivalent to a int2ptr cast
I just realized I forgot to update these docs when adding `from_exposed_addr`.
Right now the docs say `invalid` and `from_exposed_addr` are both equivalent to a cast, and that is clearly not what we want.
Cc ``@Gankra``
Previously, the `Number` part of the EBNF grammar had an option for `'.' Digit*`, which would include the string "." (a single decimal point). This is not valid, and does not return an Ok as stated. The corrected version removes this, and still allows for the `'.' Digit+` case with the already existing `Digit* '.' Digit+` case.

It seems like previously we were on a tag of the backtrace repo; not sure if there is a policy that it should always be a tag?

proc_macro: don't pass a client-side function pointer through the server.
Before this PR, `proc_macro::bridge::Client<F>` contained both:
* the C ABI entry-point `run`, that the server can call to start the client
* some "payload" `f: F` passed to that entry-point
* in practice, this was always a (client-side Rust ABI) `fn` pointer to the actual function the proc macro author wrote, i.e. `#[proc_macro] fn foo(input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream`
In other words, the client was passing one of its (Rust) `fn` pointers to the server, which was passing it back to the client, for the client to call (see later below for why that was ever needed).
I was inspired by `@nnethercote's` attempt to remove the `get_handle_counters` field from `Client` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97004#issuecomment-1139273301), which combined with removing the `f` ("payload") field, could theoretically allow for a `#[repr(transparent)]` `Client` that mostly just newtypes the C ABI entry-point `fn` pointer <sub>(and in the context of e.g. wasm isolation, that's *all* you want, since you can reason about it from outside the wasm VM, as just a 32-bit "function table index", that you can pass to the wasm VM to call that function)</sub>.
<hr/>
So this PR removes that "payload". But it's not a simple refactor: the reason the field existed in the first place is because monomorphizing over a function type doesn't let you call the function without having a value of that type, because function types don't implement anything like `Default`, i.e.:
```rust
extern "C" fn ffi_wrapper<A, R, F: Fn(A) -> R>(arg: A) -> R {
let f: F = ???; // no way to get a value of `F`
f(arg)
}
```
That could be solved with something like this, if it was allowed:
```rust
extern "C" fn ffi_wrapper<
A, R,
F: Fn(A) -> R,
const f: F // not allowed because the type is a generic param
>(arg: A) -> R {
f(arg)
}
```
Instead, this PR contains a workaround in `proc_macro::bridge::selfless_reify` (see its module-level comment for more details) that can provide something similar to the `ffi_wrapper` example above, but limited to `F` being `Copy` and ZST (and requiring an `F` value to prove the caller actually can create values of `F` and it's not uninhabited or some other unsound situation).
<hr/>
Hopefully this time we don't have a performance regression, and this has a chance to land.

Partially stabilize `(const_)slice_ptr_len` feature by stabilizing `NonNull::len`
This PR partially stabilizes features `const_slice_ptr_len` and `slice_ptr_len` by only stabilizing `NonNull::len`. This partial stabilization is tracked under features `slice_ptr_len_nonnull` and `const_slice_ptr_len_nonnull`, for which this PR can serve as the tracking issue.
To summarize the discussion from #71146 leading up to this partial stabilization request:
It's currently a bit footgunny to obtain the length of a raw slice pointer, stabilization of `NonNull:len` will help with removing these footguns. Some example footguns are:
```rust
/// # Safety
/// The caller must ensure that `ptr`:
/// 1. does not point to memory that was previously allocated but is now deallocated;
/// 2. is within the bounds of a single allocated object;
/// 3. does not to point to a slice for which the length exceeds `isize::MAX` bytes;
/// 4. points to a properly aligned address;
/// 5. does not point to uninitialized memory;
/// 6. does not point to a mutably borrowed memory location.
pub unsafe fn ptr_len<T>(ptr: core::ptr::NonNull<[T]>) -> usize {
(&*ptr.as_ptr()).len()
}
```
A slightly less complicated version (but still more complicated than it needs to be):
```rust
/// # Safety
/// The caller must ensure that the start of `ptr`:
/// 1. does not point to memory that was previously allocated but is now deallocated;
/// 2. must be within the bounds of a single allocated object.
pub unsafe fn ptr_len<T>(ptr: NonNull<[T]>) -> usize {
(&*(ptr.as_ptr() as *const [()])).len()
}
```
This PR does not stabilize `<*const [T]>::len` and `<*mut [T]>::len` because the tracking issue #71146 list a potential blocker for these methods, but this blocker [does not apply](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/71146#issuecomment-808735714) to `NonNull::len`.
We should probably also ping the [Constant Evaluation WG](https://github.com/rust-lang/const-eval) since this PR includes a `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(const_slice_ptr_len)]`. My instinct here is that this will probably be okay because the pointer is not actually dereferenced and `len()` does not touch the address component of the pointer, but would be best to double check :)
One potential down-side was raised that stabilizing `NonNull::len` could lead to encouragement of coding patterns like:
```
pub fn ptr_len<T>(ptr: *mut [T]) -> usize {
NonNull::new(ptr).unwrap().len()
}
```
which unnecessarily assert non-nullness. However, these are much less of a footgun than the above examples and this should be resolved when `slice_ptr_len` fully stabilizes eventually.
Remove impossible panic note from `Vec::append`
Neither the number of elements in a vector can overflow a `usize`, nor
can the amount of elements in two vectors.
Normally, `Thread::spawn` takes care of setting the thread's name, if
one was provided, but since the main thread wasn't created by calling
`Thread::spawn`, we need to call that function in `std::rt::init`.
This is mainly useful for system tools like debuggers and profilers
which might show the thread name to a user. Prior to these changes, gdb
and WinDbg would show all thread names except the main thread's name to
a user. I've validated that this patch resolves the issue for both
debuggers.
It looks like the last time had left some remaining cfg's -- which made me think
that the stage0 bump was actually successful. This brings us to a released 1.62

Currently, `Box<T>` gets `noalias`, meaning it has
the same rules as `&mut T`. This is
sparsely documented, even though it can have quite
a big impact on unsafe code using box. Therefore,
these rules are documented here, with a big warning
that they are not normative and subject to change,
since we have not yet committed to an aliasing model
and the state of `Box<T>` is especially uncertain.
Add section on common message styles for Result::expect
Based on a question from https://github.com/rust-lang/project-error-handling/issues/50#issuecomment-1092339937
~~One thing I haven't decided on yet, should I duplicate this section on `Option::expect`, link to this section, or move it somewhere else and link to that location from both docs?~~: I ended up moving the section to `std::error` and referencing it from both `Result::expect` and `Option::expect`'s docs.
I think this section, when combined with the similar update I made on [`std::panic!`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/macro.panic.html#when-to-use-panic-vs-result) implies that we should possibly more aggressively encourage and support the "expect as precondition" style described in this section. The consensus among the libs team seems to be that panic should be used for bugs, not expected potential failure modes. The "expect as error message" style seems to align better with the panic for unrecoverable errors style where they're seen as normal errors where the only difference is a desire to kill the current execution unit (aka erlang style error handling). I'm wondering if we should be providing a panic hook similar to `human-panic` or more strongly recommending the "expect as precondition" style of expect message.
improve case conversion happy path
Someone shared the source code for [Go's string case conversion](19156a5474/src/strings/strings.go (L558-L616)).
It features a hot path for ascii-only strings (although I assume for reasons specific to go, they've opted for a read safe hot loop).
I've borrowed these ideas and also kept our existing code to provide a fast path + seamless utf-8 correct path fallback.
(Naive) Benchmarks can be found here https://github.com/conradludgate/case-conv
For the cases where non-ascii is found near the start, the performance of this algorithm does fall back to original speeds and has not had any measurable speed loss
Extend ptr::null and null_mut to all thin (including extern) types
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/93959
This change was accepted in https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2580-ptr-meta.html
Note that this changes the signature of **stable** functions. The change should be backward-compatible, but it is **insta-stable** since it cannot (easily, at all?) be made available only through a `#![feature(…)]` opt-in.
The RFC also proposed the same change for `NonNull::dangling`, which makes sense it terms of its signature but not in terms of its implementation. `dangling` uses `align_of()` as an address. But what `align_of()` should be for extern types or whether it should be allowed at all remains an open question.
This commit depends on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/93977, which is not yet part of the bootstrap compiler. So `#[cfg]` is used to only apply the change in stage 1+. As far a I know bounds cannot be made conditional with `#[cfg]`, so the entire functions are duplicated. This is unfortunate but temporary.
Since this duplication makes it less obvious in the diff, the new definitions differ in:
* More permissive bounds (`Thin` instead of implied `Sized`)
* Different implementation
* Having `rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(const_fn_trait_bound)`
* Having `rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(ptr_metadata)`

Based on https://github.com/dtolnay/case-studies/tree/master/autoref-specialization.
Basically creates two traits with the same method name. One trait is generic over any `T` and the other is specialized to any `T: Printable`.
The compiler will then call the corresponding trait method through auto reference.
```rust
fn main() {
let mut a = Capture::new();
let mut b = Capture::new();
(&Wrapper(&1i32)).try_capture(&mut a); // `try_capture` from `TryCapturePrintable`
(&Wrapper(&vec![1i32])).try_capture(&mut b); // `try_capture` from `TryCaptureGeneric`
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", a), "1");
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", b), "N/A");
}

explain how to turn integers into fn ptrs
(with an intermediate raw ptr, not a direct transmute)
Direct int2ptr transmute, under the semantics I am imagining, will produce a ptr with "invalid" provenance that is invalid to deref or call. We cannot give it the same semantics as int2ptr casts since those do [something complicated](https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2022/04/11/provenance-exposed.html).
To my great surprise, that is already what the example in the `transmute` docs does. :) I still added a comment to say that that part is important, and I added a section explicitly talking about this to the `fn()` type docs.
With https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/pull/2151, Miri will start complaining about direct int-to-fnptr transmutes (in the sense that it is UB to call the resulting pointer).
As currently written, when a logic error occurs in a collection's trait
parameters, this allows *completely arbitrary* misbehavior, so long as
it does not cause undefined behavior in std. However, because the extent
of misbehavior is not specified, it is allowed for *any* code in std to
start misbehaving in arbitrary ways which are not formally UB; consider
the theoretical example of a global which gets set on an observed logic
error. Because the misbehavior is only bound by not resulting in UB from
safe APIs and the crate-level encapsulation boundary of all of std, this
makes writing user unsafe code that utilizes std theoretically
impossible, as it now relies on undocumented QOI that unrelated parts of
std cannot be caused to misbehave by a misuse of std::collections APIs.
In practice, this is a nonconcern, because std has reasonable QOI and an
implementation that takes advantage of this freedom is essentially a
malicious implementation and only compliant by the most langauage-lawyer
reading of the documentation.
To close this hole, we just add a small clause to the existing logic
error paragraph that ensures that any misbehavior is limited to the
collection which observed the logic error, making it more plausible to
prove the soundness of user unsafe code.
This is not meant to be formal; a formal refinement would likely need to
mention that values derived from the collection can also misbehave after a
logic error is observed, as well as define what it means to "observe" a
logic error in the first place. This fix errs on the side of informality
in order to close the hole without complicating a normal reading which
can assume a reasonable nonmalicious QOI.

Document rounding for floating-point primitive operations and string parsing
The docs for floating point don't have much to say at present about either the precision of their results or rounding behaviour.

Clarify slice and Vec iteration order
While already being inferable from the doc examples, it wasn't fully specified. This is the only logical way to do a slice iterator, so I think this should be uncontroversial. It also improves the `Vec::into_iter` example to better show the order and that the iterator returns owned values.
Change `NonNull::as_uninit_*` to take self by value (as opposed to reference), matching primitive pointers.
Copied from my comment on [#75402](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75402#issuecomment-1100496823):
> I noticed that `as_uninit_*` on pointers take `self` by value (and pointers are `Copy`), e.g. see [`as_uninit_mut`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/primitive.pointer.html#method.as_uninit_mut).
>
> However, on `NonNull`, these functions take `self` by reference, e.g. see the function with the same name by for `NonNull`: [`as_uninit_mut`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/struct.NonNull.html#method.as_uninit_mut) takes `self` by mutable reference. Even more inconsistent, [`as_uninit_slice_mut`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/struct.NonNull.html#method.as_uninit_slice_mut) returns a mutable reference, but takes `self` by immutable reference.
>
> I think these methods should take `self` by value for consistency. The returned lifetime is unbounded anyways and not tied to the pointer/NonNull value anyways
I realized the change is trivial (if desired) so here I am creating my first PR. I think it's not a breaking change since (it's on nightly and) `NonNull` is `Copy`; all previous usages of these methods taking `self` by reference should continue to compile. However, it might cause warnings to appear on usages of `NonNull::as_uninit_mut`, which used to require the the `NonNull` variable be declared `mut`, but now it's not necessary.

Fix rusty grammar in `std::error::Reporter` docs
### Commit
I initially saw "print's" instead of "prints" at the start of the doc comment for `std::error::Reporter`, while reading the docs for that type. Then I figured 'probably more where that came from', so, as well as correcting the foregoing to "prints", I've patched up these three minor solecisms (well, two [types](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%E2%80%93token_distinction), three [tokens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%E2%80%93token_distinction)):
- One use of the indicative which should be subjunctive - indeed the sentence immediately following it, which mirrors its structure, _does_ use the subjunctive ([L871](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L871)). Replaced with the subjunctive.
- Two separate clauses joined with commas ([L975](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L975), [L1023](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L1023)). Replaced the first with a semicolon and the second with a period. Admittedly those judgements are pretty much 100% subjective, based on my sense of how the sentences flowed into each other (though ofc the _replacement of the comma itself_ is not subjective or opinion-based).
I know this is silly and finicky, but I hope it helps tidy up the docs a bit for future readers!

Stabilize `array_from_fn`
## Overall
Stabilizes `core::array::from_fn` ~~and `core::array::try_from_fn`~~ to allow the creation of custom infallible ~~and fallible~~ arrays.
Signature proposed for stabilization here, tweaked as requested in the meeting:
```rust
// in core::array
pub fn from_fn<T, const N: usize, F>(_: F) -> [T; N];
```
Examples in https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/array/fn.from_fn.html
## History
* On 2020-08-17, implementation was [proposed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75644).
* On 2021-09-29, tracking issue was [created](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/89379).
* On 2021-10-09, the proposed implementation was [merged](bc8ad24020).
* On 2021-12-03, the return type of `try_from_fn` was [changed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/91286#issuecomment-985513407).
## Considerations
* It is being assumed that indices are useful and shouldn't be removed from the callbacks
* The fact that `try_from_fn` returns an unstable type `R: Try` does not prevent stabilization. Although I'm honestly not sure about it.
* The addition or not of repeat-like variants is orthogonal to this PR.
These considerations are not ways of saying what is better or what is worse. In reality, they are an attempt to move things forward, anything really.

Implement Copy, Clone, PartialEq and Eq for core::fmt::Alignment
Alignment is a fieldless exhaustive enum, so it is already possible to
clone and compare it by matching, but it is inconvenient to do so. For
example, if one would like to create a struct describing a formatter
configuration and provide a clone implementation:
```rust
pub struct Format {
fill: char,
width: Option<usize>,
align: fmt::Alignment,
}
impl Clone for Format {
fn clone(&self) -> Self {
Format {
align: match self.align {
fmt::Alignment::Left => fmt::Alignment::Left,
fmt::Alignment::Right => fmt::Alignment::Right,
fmt::Alignment::Center => fmt::Alignment::Center,
},
.. *self
}
}
}
```
Derive Copy, Clone, PartialEq, and Eq for Alignment for convenience.
make ptr::invalid not the same as a regular int2ptr cast
In Miri, we would like to distinguish `ptr::invalid` from `ptr::from_exposed_provenance`, so that we can provide better diagnostics issues like https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/2134, and so that we can detect the UB in programs like
```rust
fn main() {
let x = 0u8;
let original_ptr = &x as *const u8;
let addr = original_ptr.expose_addr();
let new_ptr: *const u8 = core::ptr::invalid(addr);
unsafe {
dbg!(*new_ptr);
}
}
```
To achieve that, the two functions need to have different implementations. Currently, both are just `as` casts. We *could* add an intrinsic for this, but it turns out `transmute` already has the right behavior, at least as far as Miri is concerned. So I propose we just use that.

Improve codegen of String::retain method
This pull-request improve the codegen of the `String::retain` method.
Using `unwrap_unchecked` helps the optimizer to not generate a panicking path that will never be taken for valid UTF-8 like string.
Using `encode_utf8` saves us from an expensive call to `memcpy`, as the optimizer is unable to realize that `ch_len <= 4` and so can generate much better assembly code.

From reading the source code, it appears like the desired semantic of
std::unix::rand is to always provide some bytes and never block. For
that reason GRND_NONBLOCK is checked before calling getrandom(0), so
that getrandom(0) won't block. If it would block, then the function
falls back to using /dev/urandom, which for the time being doesn't
block. There are some drawbacks to using /dev/urandom, however, and so
getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) was created as a replacement for this exact
circumstance.
getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) is the same as /dev/urandom, except:
- It won't leave a warning in dmesg if used at early boot time, which is
a common occurance (and the reason why I found this issue);
- It won't introduce a tiny delay at early boot on newer kernels when
/dev/urandom tries to opportunistically create jitter entropy;
- It only requires 1 syscall, rather than 3.
Other than that, it returns the same "quality" of randomness as
/dev/urandom, and never blocks.
It's only available on kernels ≥5.6, so we try to use it, cache the
result of that attempt, and fall back to to the previous code if it
didn't work.
These guards changed to pointers in #97027, but their `Display` was
formatting that field directly, which made it show the raw pointer
value. Now we go through `Deref` to display the real value again.
Add complexity estimation of iterating over HashSet and HashMap
It is not obvious (at least for me) that complexity of iteration over hash tables depends on capacity and not length. Especially comparing with other containers like Vec or String. I think, this behaviour is worth mentioning.
I run benchmark which tests iteration time for maps with length 50 and different capacities and get this results:
```
capacity - time
64 - 203.87 ns
256 - 351.78 ns
1024 - 607.87 ns
4096 - 965.82 ns
16384 - 3.1188 us
```
If you want to dig why it behaves such way, you can look current implementation in [hashbrown code](f3a9f211d0/src/raw/mod.rs (L1933)).
Benchmarks code would be presented in PR related to this commit.
Reverse condition in Vec::retain_mut doctest
I find that the doctest for `Vec::retain_mut` is easier to read and understand when the `if` block corresponds to the path that returns `true` and the `else` block returns `false`. Having the `if` block be the `false` path led me to stare at the example for somewhat longer than I probably had to.

Say "last" instead of "rightmost" in the documentation for `std::str:rfind`
In the documentation comment for `std::str::rfind`, say "last" instead
of "rightmost" to describe the match that `rfind` finds. This follows the
spirit of #30459, for which `trim_left` and `trim_right` were replaced by
`trim_start` and `trim_end` to be more clear about how they work on
text which is displayed right-to-left.
Use pointers in `cell::{Ref,RefMut}` to avoid `noalias`
When `Ref` and `RefMut` were based on references, they would get LLVM `noalias` attributes that were incorrect, because that alias guarantee is only true until the guard drops. A `&RefCell` on the same value can get a new borrow that aliases the previous guard, possibly leading to miscompilation. Using `NonNull` pointers in `Ref` and `RefCell` avoids `noalias`.
Fixes the library side of #63787, but we still might want to explore language solutions there.

The documentation mentions "FromStr’s from_str method is often used implicitly,
through str’s parse method. See parse’s documentation for examples.".
It may be nicer to show that in the code example as well.
* For read and read_buf, only the front slice of a discontiguous
VecDeque is copied. The VecDeque is advanced after reading, making any
back slice available for reading with a second call to Read::read(_buf).
* For write, the VecDeque always appends the entire slice to the end,
growing its allocation when necessary.
Remove unnecessay .report() on ExitCode
Since #93442, the return type is `ExitCode` anyway so there's no need to do a conversion using `.report()` (which is now just a no-op).
Remove libstd's calls to `C-unwind` foreign functions
Remove all libstd and its dependencies' usage of `extern "C-unwind"`.
This is a prerequiste of a WIP PR which will forbid libraries calling `extern "C-unwind"` functions to be compiled in `-Cpanic=unwind` and linked against `panic_abort` (this restriction is necessary to address soundness bug #96926).
Cargo will ensure all crates are compiled with the same `-Cpanic` but the std is only compiled `-Cpanic=unwind` but needs the ability to be linked into `-Cpanic=abort`.
Currently there are two places where `C-unwind` is used in libstd:
* `__rust_start_panic` is used for interfacing to the panic runtime. This could be `extern "Rust"`
* `_{rdl,rg}_oom`: a shim `__rust_alloc_error_handler` will be generated by codegen to call into one of these; they can also be `extern "Rust"` (in fact, the generated shim is used as `extern "Rust"`, so I am not even sure why these are not, probably because they used to `extern "C"` and was changed to `extern "C-unwind"` when we allow alloc error hooks to unwind, but they really should just be using Rust ABI).
For dependencies, there is only one `extern "C-unwind"` function call, in `unwind` crate. This can be expressed as a re-export.

Make HashMap fall back to RtlGenRandom if BCryptGenRandom fails
With PR #84096, Rust `std::collections::hash_map::RandomState` changed from using `RtlGenRandom()` ([msdn](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/ntsecapi/nf-ntsecapi-rtlgenrandom)) to `BCryptGenRandom()` ([msdn](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/bcrypt/nf-bcrypt-bcryptgenrandom)) as its source of secure randomness after much discussion ([here](https://github.com/rust-random/getrandom/issues/65#issuecomment-753634074), among other places).
Unfortunately, after that PR landed, Mozilla Firefox started experiencing fairly-rare crashes during startup while attempting to initialize the `env_logger` crate. ([docs for env_logger](https://docs.rs/env_logger/latest/env_logger/)) The root issue is that on some machines, `BCryptGenRandom()` will fail with an `Access is denied. (os error 5)` error message. ([Bugzilla issue 1754490](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1754490)) (Discussion in issue #94098)
Note that this is happening upon startup of Firefox's unsandboxed Main Process, so this behavior is different and separate from previous issues ([like this](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1746254)) where BCrypt DLLs were blocked by process sandboxing. In the case of sandboxing, we knew we were doing something abnormal and expected that we'd have to resort to abnormal measures to make it work.
However, in this case we are in a regular unsandboxed process just trying to initialize `env_logger` and getting a panic. We suspect that this may be caused by a virus scanner or some other security software blocking the loading of the BCrypt DLLs, but we're not completely sure as we haven't been able to replicate locally.
It is also possible that Firefox is not the only software affected by this; we just may be one of the pieces of Rust software that has the telemetry and crash reporting necessary to catch it.
I have read some of the historical discussion around using `BCryptGenRandom()` in Rust code, and I respect the decision that was made and agree that it was a good course of action, so I'm not trying to open a discussion about a return to `RtlGenRandom()`. Instead, I'd like to suggest that perhaps we use `RtlGenRandom()` as a "fallback RNG" in the case that BCrypt doesn't work.
This pull request implements this fallback behavior. I believe this would improve the robustness of this essential data structure within the standard library, and I see only 2 potential drawbacks:
1. Slight added overhead: It should be quite minimal though. The first call to `sys::rand::hashmap_random_keys()` will incur a bit of initialization overhead, and every call after will incur roughly 2 non-atomic global reads and 2 easily predictable branches. Both should be negligible compared to the actual cost of generating secure random numbers
2. `RtlGenRandom()` is deprecated by Microsoft: Technically true, but as mentioned in [this comment on GoLang](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33542#issuecomment-626124873), this API is ubiquitous in Windows software and actually removing it would break lots of things. Also, Firefox uses it already in [our C++ code](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/5f88c1d6977e03e22d3420d0cdf8ad0113c2eb31/mfbt/RandomNum.cpp#25), and [Chromium uses it in their code as well](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/rand_util_win.cc) (which transitively means that Microsoft uses it in their own web browser, Edge). If there did come a time when Microsoft truly removes this API, it should be easy enough for Rust to simply remove the fallback in the code I've added here
Remove potentially misleading realloc parenthetical
This parenthetical is problematic, because it suggests that the following is sound:
```rust
let layout = Layout:🆕:<[u8; 32]>();
let p1 = alloc(layout);
let p2 = realloc(p1, layout, 32);
if p1 == p2 {
p1.write([0; 32]);
dealloc(p1, layout);
} else {
dealloc(p2, layout);
}
```
At the very least, this isn't the case for [ANSI `realloc`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/memory/realloc)
> The original pointer `ptr` is invalidated and any access to it is undefined behavior (even if reallocation was in-place).
and [Windows `HeapReAlloc`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/heapapi/nf-heapapi-heaprealloc) is unclear at best (`HEAP_REALLOC_IN_PLACE_ONLY`'s description may imply that the old pointer may be used if `HEAP_REALLOC_IN_PLACE_ONLY` is provided).
The conservative position is to just remove the parenthetical.

Rename `eq_ignore_case` to `starts_with_ignore_case`
The method doesn't test for equality. It tests if the object starts with
a given byte array, so its name is confusing.
Fix use of SetHandleInformation on UWP
The use of `SetHandleInformation` (introduced in #96441 to make `HANDLE` inheritable) breaks UWP builds because it is not available for UWP targets.
Proposed workaround: duplicate the `HANDLE` with `inherit = true` and immediately close the old one. Traditional Windows Desktop programs are not affected.
