Add examples to document the return type of quickselect functions
Currently, `select_nth_unstable`, `select_nth_unstable_by`, and `select_nth_unstable_by_key`'s examples do not show how to use the return values of the functions in an example, so this PR adds that in.
Note: I didn't know what to call the parameters, so I settled on lesser, median, greater because the example is used for median finding so I retained that naming for the pivot, but lesser and greater are poor names for the example that sorts in descending order, because lesser and greater are then flipped.
I think it's common to say "lo" and "hi" for low and high respectively, but that's also not great when the comparator flips the elements. Otherwise, "left" and "right" are also commonly used but I think that's poor naming because some languages read right to left so those names are also unintuitive.
Lesser and greater are also not that great but I found a test that used `less`, `equal`, `greater` so I took that: dfa88b328f/library/core/tests/slice.rs (L1962)
Make `io::BorrowedCursor::advance` safe
This also keeps the old `advance` method under `advance_unchecked` name.
This makes pattern like `std::io::default_read_buf` safe to write.
Rename MaybeUninit::write_slice
A step to push #79995 forward.
https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/122 also suggested to make them inherent methods, but they can't be — they'd conflict with slice's regular methods.
Implement intrinsics with fallback bodies
fixes#93145 (though we can port many more intrinsics)
cc #63585
The way this works is that the backend logic for generating custom code for intrinsics has been made fallible. The only failure path is "this intrinsic is unknown". The `Instance` (that was `InstanceDef::Intrinsic`) then gets converted to `InstanceDef::Item`, which represents the fallback body. A regular function call to that body is then codegenned. This is currently implemented for
* codegen_ssa (so llvm and gcc)
* codegen_cranelift
other backends will need to adjust, but they can just keep doing what they were doing if they prefer (though adding new intrinsics to the compiler will then require them to implement them, instead of getting the fallback body).
cc `@scottmcm` `@WaffleLapkin`
### todo
* [ ] miri support
* [x] default intrinsic name to name of function instead of requiring it to be specified in attribute
* [x] make sure that the bodies are always available (must be collected for metadata)
doc: add note about panicking examples for strict_overflow_ops
The first commit adds a note before the panicking examples for strict_overflow_ops to make it clearer that the following examples should panic and why, without needing the reader to hover the mouse over the information icon.
The second commit adds panicking examples for division by zero operations for strict division operations on unsigned numbers. The signed numbers already have two panicking examples each: one for division by zero and one for overflowing division (`MIN/-1`); this commit includes the division by zero examples for the unsigned numbers.
Waker::will_wake: Compare vtable address instead of its content
Optimize will_wake implementation by comparing vtable address instead of its content.
The existing best practice to avoid false negatives from will_wake is to define a waker vtable as a static item. That approach continues to works with the new implementation.
While this potentially changes the observable behaviour, the function is documented to work on a best-effort basis. The PartialEq impl for RawWaker remains as it was.
I discovered that `impl Debug for str` is quite slow because it ends up doing a `unicode_data::grapheme_extend::lookup` for each char, which ends up doing a binary search.
This introduces a fast-path for ASCII chars which do not have this property.
The `lookup` is thus completely gone from profiles.
Clarified docs on non-atomic oprations on owned/mut refs to atomics
I originally misinterpreted the documentation to mean that the compiler can/will automatically optimise away atomic operations whenever the data is owned or mutably referenced.
On re-reading I think it is not technically incorrect, but specifically mentioning _how_ the atomic operations can be avoided also prevents this misunderstanding.
implement `Default` for `AsciiChar`
This implements `Default` for `AsciiChar` in order to match `char`'s implementation.
From all the different possible ways to do this I think the clearest one is to have both `char` and `AsciiChar` impls together.
I've also updated the doc-comment of the default variant since rustdoc doesn't seem to indicate it otherwise. Probably the text could be improved, though. I couldn't find any similar examples in the codebase and suggestions are welcomed.

Clarify the lifetimes of allocations returned by the `Allocator` trait
The previous definition (accidentally) disallowed the implementation of stack-based allocators whose memory would become invalid once the lifetime of the allocator type ended.
This also ensures the validity of the following blanket implementation:
```rust
impl<A: Allocator> Allocator for &'_ A {}
```
Additional doc links and explanation of `Wake`.
This is intended to clarify:
* That `Wake` exists and can be used instead of `RawWaker`.
* How to construct a `Waker` when you are looking at `Wake` (which was previously only documented in the example).

core: add Duration constructors
Add more `Duration` constructors.
Tracking issue: #120301.
These match similar convenience constructors available on both `chrono::Duration` and `time::Duration`.
What's the best ordering for these with respect to the existing constructors?
Suggest less bug-prone construction of Duration in docs
std::time::Duration has a well-known quirk: Duration::as_nanos() returns u128 [1], but Duration::from_nanos() takes u64 [2]. So these methods cannot easily roundtrip [3]. It is not possible to simply accept u128 in from_nanos [4], because it requires breaking other API [5].
It seems to me that callers have basically only two options:
1. `Duration::from_nanos(d.as_nanos() as u64)`, which is the "obvious" and buggy approach.
2. `Duration::new(d.as_secs(), d.subsecs_nanos())`, which only becomes apparent after reading and digesting the entire Duration struct documentation.
I suggest that the documentation of `from_nanos` is changed to make option 2 more easily discoverable.
There are two major usecases for this:
- "Weird math" operations that should not be supported directly by `Duration`, like squaring.
- "Disconnected roundtrips", where the u128 value is passed through various other stack frames, and perhaps reconstructed into a Duration on a different machine.
In both cases, it seems like a good idea to not tempt people into thinking "Eh, u64 is good enough, what could possibly go wrong!". That's why I want to add a note that points out the similarly-easy and *safe* way to reconstruct a Duration.

Clarify that atomic and regular integers can differ in alignment
The documentation for atomic integers says that they have the "same in-memory representation" as their underlying integers. This might be misconstrued as implying that they have the same layout. Therefore, clarify that atomic integers' alignment is equal to their size.
Harmonize `AsyncFn` implementations, make async closures conditionally impl `Fn*` traits
This PR implements several changes to the built-in and libcore-provided implementations of `Fn*` and `AsyncFn*` to address two problems:
1. async closures do not implement the `Fn*` family traits, leading to breakage: https://crater-reports.s3.amazonaws.com/pr-120361/index.html
2. *references* to async closures do not implement `AsyncFn*`, as a consequence of the existing blanket impls of the shape `AsyncFn for F where F: Fn, F::Output: Future`.
In order to fix (1.), we implement `Fn` traits appropriately for async closures. It turns out that async closures can:
* always implement `FnOnce`, meaning that they're drop-in compatible with `FnOnce`-bound combinators like `Option::map`.
* conditionally implement `Fn`/`FnMut` if they have no captures, which means that existing usages of async closures should *probably* work without breakage (crater checking this: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120712#issuecomment-1930587805).
In order to fix (2.), we make all of the built-in callables implement `AsyncFn*` via built-in impls, and instead adjust the blanket impls for `AsyncFn*` provided by libcore to match the blanket impls for `Fn*`.
Improve `Option::inspect` docs
* Refer to the function as "a function" instead of "the provided closure" since it is not necessarily a closure.
* State that the original Option/Result is returned.
* Adjust the example for `Option::inspect` to use chaining.
core/time: avoid divisions in Duration::new
In our (decently large) code base, we use `SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH.elapsed()` in a lot of places & often in a loop or in the hot path. On [Unix](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/1.75.0/library/std/src/sys/unix/time.rs#L153-L162) at least, it seems we do calculations before hand to ensure that nanos is within the valid range, yet `Duration::new()` still checks it again, using 2 divisions. It seems like adding a branch can make this function 33% faster on ARM64 in the cases where nanos is already in the valid range & seems to have no effect in the other case.

revert stabilization of const_intrinsic_copy
`@rust-lang/wg-const-eval` I don't know what we were thinking when we approved https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97276... const-eval isn't supposed to be able to mutate anything yet! It's also near impossible to actually call `copy` in const on stable since `&mut` expressions are generally unstable. However, there's one exception...
```rust
static mut INT: i32 = unsafe {
let val = &mut [1]; // `&mut` on arrays is allowed in `static mut`
(val as *mut [i32; 1]).copy_from(&[42], 1);
val[0]
};
fn main() { unsafe {
dbg!(INT);
} }
```
Inside `static mut`, we accept some `&mut` since ~forever, to make `static mut FOO: &mut [T] = &mut [...];` work. We reject any attempt to actually write to that mutable reference though... except for the `copy` functions.
I think we should revert stabilizing these functions that take `*mut`, and then re-stabilize them together with `ptr.write` once mutable references are stable.
(This will likely fail on PowerPC until https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1497 lands. But we'll need a crater run first anyway.)
PartialEq, PartialOrd: update and synchronize handling of transitive chains
It was brought up in https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/total-equality-relations-as-std-eq-rhs/19232 that we currently have a gap in our `PartialEq` rules, which this PR aims to close:
> For example, with PartialEq's conditions you may have a = b = c = d ≠ a (where a and c are of type A, b and d are of type B).
The second commit fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87067 by updating PartialOrd to handle the requirements the same way PartialEq does.
Clarify ambiguity in select_nth_unstable docs
Original docs for `select_nth_unstable` family of functions were ambiguous as to whether "the element at `index`" was the element at `index` before the function reordered the elements or after the function reordered the elements.
The most helpful change in this PR is to change the given examples to make this absolutely clear. Before, "the element at `index`" was the same value before and after the reordering, so it didn't help disambiguate the meaning. I've changed the example for `select_nth_unstable` and `select_nth_unstable_by` so that "the element at `index`" is different before and after the reordering, which clears up the ambiguity. The function `select_nth_unstable_by_key` already had an example that was unambiguous.
In an attempt to clear up the ambiguity from the get-go, I've added a bit of redundancy to the text. Now the docs refer to "the element at `index` *after the reordering*".

Rename `pointer` field on `Pin`
A few days ago, I was helping another user create a self-referential type using `PhantomPinned`. However, I noticed an odd behavior when I tried to access one of the type's fields via `Pin`'s `Deref` impl:
```rust
use std::{marker::PhantomPinned, ptr};
struct Pinned {
data: i32,
pointer: *const i32,
_pin: PhantomPinned,
}
fn main() {
let mut b = Box::pin(Pinned {
data: 42,
pointer: ptr::null(),
_pin: PhantomPinned,
});
{
let pinned = unsafe { b.as_mut().get_unchecked_mut() };
pinned.pointer = &pinned.data;
}
println!("{}", unsafe { *b.pointer });
}
```
```rust
error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature 'unsafe_pin_internals'
--> <source>:19:30
|
19 | println!("{}", unsafe { *b.pointer });
| ^^^^^^^^^
error[E0277]: `Pinned` doesn't implement `std::fmt::Display`
--> <source>:19:20
|
19 | println!("{}", unsafe { *b.pointer });
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `Pinned` cannot be formatted with the default formatter
|
= help: the trait `std::fmt::Display` is not implemented for `Pinned`
= note: in format strings you may be able to use `{:?}` (or {:#?} for pretty-print) instead
= note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::format_args_nl` which comes from the expansion of the macro `println` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
```
Since the user named their field `pointer`, it conflicts with the `pointer` field on `Pin`, which is public but unstable since Rust 1.60.0 with #93176. On versions from 1.33.0 to 1.59.0, where the field on `Pin` is private, this program compiles and prints `42` as expected.
To avoid this confusing behavior, this PR renames `pointer` to `__pointer`, so that it's less likely to conflict with a `pointer` field on the underlying type, as accessed through the `Deref` impl. This is technically a breaking change for anyone who names their field `__pointer` on the inner type; if this is undesirable, it could be renamed to something more longwinded. It's also a nightly breaking change for any external users of `unsafe_pin_internals`.

remove StructuralEq trait
The documentation given for the trait is outdated: *all* function pointers implement `PartialEq` and `Eq` these days. So the `StructuralEq` trait doesn't really seem to have any reason to exist any more.
One side-effect of this PR is that we allow matching on some consts that do not implement `Eq`. However, we already allowed matching on floats and consts containing floats, so this is not new, it is just allowed in more cases now. IMO it makes no sense at all to allow float matching but also sometimes require an `Eq` instance. If we want to require `Eq` we should adjust https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/115893 to check for `Eq`, and rule out float matching for good.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/115881
Add `AsyncFn` family of traits
I'm proposing to add a new family of `async`hronous `Fn`-like traits to the standard library for experimentation purposes.
## Why do we need new traits?
On the user side, it is useful to be able to express `AsyncFn` trait bounds natively via the parenthesized sugar syntax, i.e. `x: impl AsyncFn(&str) -> String` when experimenting with async-closure code.
This also does not preclude `AsyncFn` becoming something else like a trait alias if a more fundamental desugaring (which can take many[^1] different[^2] forms) comes around. I think we should be able to play around with `AsyncFn` well before that, though.
I'm also not proposing stabilization of these trait names any time soon (we may even want to instead express them via new syntax, like `async Fn() -> ..`), but I also don't think we need to introduce an obtuse bikeshedding name, since `AsyncFn` just makes sense.
## The lending problem: why not add a more fundamental primitive of `LendingFn`/`LendingFnMut`?
Firstly, for `async` closures to be as flexible as possible, they must be allowed to return futures which borrow from the async closure's captures. This can be done by introducing `LendingFn`/`LendingFnMut` traits, or (equivalently) by adding a new generic associated type to `FnMut` which allows the return type to capture lifetimes from the `&mut self` argument of the trait. This was proposed in one of [Niko's blog posts](https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2023/05/09/giving-lending-and-async-closures/).
Upon further experimentation, for the purposes of closure type- and borrow-checking, I've come to the conclusion that it's significantly harder to teach the compiler how to handle *general* lending closures which may borrow from their captures. This is, because unlike `Fn`/`FnMut`, the `LendingFn`/`LendingFnMut` traits don't form a simple "inheritance" hierarchy whose top trait is `FnOnce`.
```mermaid
flowchart LR
Fn
FnMut
FnOnce
LendingFn
LendingFnMut
Fn -- isa --> FnMut
FnMut -- isa --> FnOnce
LendingFn -- isa --> LendingFnMut
Fn -- isa --> LendingFn
FnMut -- isa --> LendingFnMut
```
For example:
```
fn main() {
let s = String::from("hello, world");
let f = move || &s;
let x = f(); // This borrows `f` for some lifetime `'1` and returns `&'1 String`.
```
That trait hierarchy means that in general for "lending" closures, like `f` above, there's not really a meaningful return type for `<typeof(f) as FnOnce>::Output` -- it can't return `&'static str`, for example.
### Special-casing this problem:
By splitting out these traits manually, and making sure that each trait has its own associated future type, we side-step the issue of having to answer the questions of a general `LendingFn`/`LendingFnMut` implementation, since the compiler knows how to generate built-in implementations for first-class constructs like async closures, including the required future types for the (by-move) `AsyncFnOnce` and (by-ref) `AsyncFnMut`/`AsyncFn` trait implementations.
[^1]: For example, with trait transformers, we may eventually be able to write: `trait AsyncFn = async Fn;`
[^2]: For example, via the introduction of a more fundamental "`LendingFn`" trait, plus a [special desugaring with augmented trait aliases](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/213817-t-lang/topic/Lending.20closures.20and.20Fn*.28.29.20-.3E.20impl.20Trait/near/408471480).
Replacement of #114390: Add new intrinsic `is_var_statically_known` and optimize pow for powers of two
This adds a new intrinsic `is_val_statically_known` that lowers to [``@llvm.is.constant.*`](https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-is-constant-intrinsic).` It also applies the intrinsic in the int_pow methods to recognize and optimize the idiom `2isize.pow(x)`. See #114390 for more discussion.
While I have extended the scope of the power of two optimization from #114390, I haven't added any new uses for the intrinsic. That can be done in later pull requests.
Note: When testing or using the library, be sure to use `--stage 1` or higher. Otherwise, the intrinsic will be a noop and the doctests will be skipped. If you are trying out edits, you may be interested in [`--keep-stage 0`](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/building/suggested.html#faster-builds-with---keep-stage).

Add `NonZero*::count_ones`
This PR adds the following APIs to the standard library:

This is potentially interesting, given that `count_ones` can't ever return 0.

Add `#[coverage(off)]` to closures introduced by `#[test]` and `#[bench]`
These closures are an internal implementation detail of the `#[test]` and `#[bench]` attribute macros, so from a user perspective there is no reason to instrument them for coverage.
Skipping them makes coverage reports slightly cleaner, and will also allow other changes to span processing during coverage instrumentation, without having to worry about how they affect the `#[test]` macro.
The `#[coverage(off)]` attribute has no effect when `-Cinstrument-coverage` is not used.
Fixes#120046.

Tweak Library Integer Division Docs
Improved the documentation and diagnostics related to panicking in the division-like methods in std:
* For signed methods that can overflow, clarified "results in overflow" to "self is -1 and rhs is Self::MIN." This is more concise than saying "results in overflow" and then explaining how it could overflow.
* For floor/ceil_div, corrected the documentation and made it more like the documentation in other methods.
* For signed methods that can overflow, explicitly mention that they are not affected by compiler flags.
* Removed all unused rustc_inherit_overflow_checks attributes. The non-division-like operations will never overflow.
* Added track_caller attributes to all methods that can panic. The panic messages will always be correct. For example, division methods all have / before %.
* Edited the saturating_div documentation to be consistent with similar methods.
Explanation that fields are being used when deriving `(Partial)Ord` on enums
When deriving `std::cmp::Ord` or `std::cmp::PartialOrd` on enums, their fields are compared if the variants are equal.
This means that the last assertion in the following snipped panics.
```rust
use std::cmp::{PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord};
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum Sizes {
Small(usize),
Big(usize),
}
fn main() {
let a = Sizes::Big(3);
let b = Sizes::Big(5);
let c = Sizes::Small(10);
assert!( c < a);
assert_eq!(a, c);
}
```
This is more often expected behavior than not, and can be easily circumvented, as discussed in [this thread](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/how-to-sort-enum-variants/52291/4).
But it is addressed nowhere in the documentation, yet.
So I stumbled across this, as I personally did not expect fields being used in `PartialOrd`.
I added the explanation to the documentation.

Implement iterator specialization traits on more adapters
This adds
* `TrustedLen` to `Skip` and `StepBy`
* `TrustedRandomAccess` to `Skip`
* `InPlaceIterable` and `SourceIter` to `Copied` and `Cloned`
The first two might improve performance in the compiler itself since `skip` is used in several places. Constellations that would exercise the last point are probably rare since it would require an owning iterator that has references as Items somewhere in its iterator pipeline.
Improvements for `Skip`:
```
# old
test iter::bench_skip_trusted_random_access ... bench: 8,335 ns/iter (+/- 90)
# new
test iter::bench_skip_trusted_random_access ... bench: 2,753 ns/iter (+/- 27)

Add Ipv6Addr::is_ipv4_mapped
This change consists of cherry-picking the content from the original PR[1], which got closed due to inactivity, and applying the following changes:
* Resolving merge conflicts (obviously)
* Linked to to_ipv4_mapped instead of to_ipv4 in the documentation (seems more appropriate)
* Added the must_use and rustc_const_unstable attributes the original didn't have
I think it's a reasonably useful method to have.

Use `bool` instead of `PartiolOrd` as return value of the comparison closure in `{slice,Iteraotr}::is_sorted_by`

This means these functions now return true if the closure returns true for all the pairs of values.
Implement strict integer operations that panic on overflow
This PR implements the first part of the ACP for adding panic on overflow style arithmetic operations (https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/270), mentioned in #116064.
It adds the following operations on both signed and unsigned integers:
- `strict_add`
- `strict_sub`
- `strict_mul`
- `strict_div`
- `strict_div_euclid`
- `strict_rem`
- `strict_rem_euclid`
- `strict_neg`
- `strict_shl`
- `strict_shr`
- `strict_pow`
Additionally, signed integers have:
- `strict_add_unsigned`
- `strict_sub_unsigned`
- `strict_abs`
And unsigned integers have:
- `strict_add_signed`
The `div` and `rem` operations are the same as normal division and remainder but are added for completeness similar to the corresponding `wrapping_*` operations.
I'm not sure if I missed any operations, I basically found them from the `wrapping_*` and `checked_*` operations on both integer types.
Tweak the threshold for chunked swapping
Thanks to `@AngelicosPhosphoros` for the tests here, which I copied from #98892.
This is an experiment as a simple alternative to that PR that just tweaks the existing threshold, since that PR showed that 3×Align (like `String`) currently doesn't work as well as it could.
Introduce split_at_checked and split_at_mut_checked methods to slices
types (including str) which are non-panicking versions of split_at and
split_at_mut respectively. This is analogous to get method being
non-panicking version of indexing.
This also removes
* impl From<&Context> for ContextBuilder
* Context::try_waker()
The from implementation is removed because now that
wakers are always supported, there are less incentives
to override the current context. Before, the incentive
was to add Waker support to a reactor that didn't have
any.

Change return type of unstable `Waker::noop()` from `Waker` to `&Waker`.
The advantage of this is that it does not need to be assigned to a variable to be used in a `Context` creation, which is the most common thing to want to do with a noop waker. It also avoids unnecessarily executing the dynamically dispatched drop function when the noop waker is dropped.
If an owned noop waker is desired, it can be created by cloning, but the reverse is harder to do since it requires declaring a constant. Alternatively, both versions could be provided, like `futures::task::noop_waker()` and `futures::task::noop_waker_ref()`, but that seems to me to be API clutter for a very small benefit, whereas having the `&'static` reference available is a large reduction in boilerplate.

Stabilize `slice_first_last_chunk`
This PR does a few different things based around stabilizing `slice_first_last_chunk`. They are split up so this PR can be by-commit reviewed, I can move parts to a separate PR if desired.
This feature provides a very elegant API to extract arrays from either end of a slice, such as for parsing integers from binary data.
## Stabilize `slice_first_last_chunk`
ACP: https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/69
Implementation: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/90091
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111774
This stabilizes the functionality from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111774:
```rust
impl [T] {
pub const fn first_chunk<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<&[T; N]>;
pub fn first_chunk_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Option<&mut [T; N]>;
pub const fn last_chunk<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<&[T; N]>;
pub fn last_chunk_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Option<&mut [T; N]>;
pub const fn split_first_chunk<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<(&[T; N], &[T])>;
pub fn split_first_chunk_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Option<(&mut [T; N], &mut [T])>;
pub const fn split_last_chunk<const N: usize>(&self) -> Option<(&[T], &[T; N])>;
pub fn split_last_chunk_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> Option<(&mut [T], &mut [T; N])>;
}
```
Const stabilization is included for all non-mut methods, which are blocked on `const_mut_refs`. This change includes marking the trivial function `slice_split_at_unchecked` const-stable for internal use (but not fully stable).
## Remove `split_array` slice methods
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/90091
Implementation: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/83233#pullrequestreview-780315524
This PR also removes the following unstable methods from the `split_array` feature, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/90091:
```rust
impl<T> [T] {
pub fn split_array_ref<const N: usize>(&self) -> (&[T; N], &[T]);
pub fn split_array_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> (&mut [T; N], &mut [T]);
pub fn rsplit_array_ref<const N: usize>(&self) -> (&[T], &[T; N]);
pub fn rsplit_array_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self) -> (&mut [T], &mut [T; N]);
}
```
This is done because discussion at #90091 and its implementation PR indicate a strong preference for nonpanicking APIs that return `Option`. The only difference between functions under the `split_array` and `slice_first_last_chunk` features is `Option` vs. panic, so remove the duplicates as part of this stabilization.
This does not affect the array methods from `split_array`. We will want to revisit these once `generic_const_exprs` is further along.
## Reverse order of return tuple for `split_last_chunk{,_mut}`
An unresolved question for #111774 is whether to return `(preceding_slice, last_chunk)` (`(&[T], &[T; N])`) or the reverse (`(&[T; N], &[T])`), from `split_last_chunk` and `split_last_chunk_mut`. It is currently implemented as `(last_chunk, preceding_slice)` which matches `split_last -> (&T, &[T])`. The first commit changes these to `(&[T], &[T; N])` for these reasons:
- More consistent with other splitting methods that return multiple values: `str::rsplit_once`, `slice::split_at{,_mut}`, `slice::align_to` all return tuples with the items in order
- More intuitive (arguably opinion, but it is consistent with other language elements like pattern matching `let [a, b, rest @ ..] ...`
- If we ever added a varidic way to obtain multiple chunks, it would likely return something in order: `.split_many_last::<(2, 4)>() -> (&[T], &[T; 2], &[T; 4])`
- It is the ordering used in the `rsplit_array` methods
I think the inconsistency with `split_last` could be acceptable in this case, since for `split_last` the scalar `&T` doesn't have any internal order to maintain with the other items.
## Unresolved questions
Do we want to reserve the same names on `[u8; N]` to avoid inference confusion? https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117561#issuecomment-1793388647

`slice_first_last_chunk` has only been around since early 2023, but `split_array` has been around since 2021.

Docs: Use non-SeqCst in module example of atomics
I done this for this reasons:
1. The example now shows that there is more Orderings than just SeqCst.
2. People who would copy from example would now have more suitable orderings for the job.
3. SeqCst is both much harder to reason about and not needed in most situations.
IMHO, we should encourage people to think and use memory orderings that is suitable to task instead of blindly defaulting to SeqCst.

Consolidate all associated items on the NonZero integer types into a single impl block per type
**Before:**
```rust
#[repr(transparent)]
#[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_start(1)]
pub struct NonZeroI8(i8);
impl NonZeroI8 {
pub const fn new(n: i8) -> Option<Self> ...
pub const fn get(self) -> i8 ...
}
impl NonZeroI8 {
pub const fn leading_zeros(self) -> u32 ...
pub const fn trailing_zeros(self) -> u32 ...
}
impl NonZeroI8 {
pub const fn abs(self) -> NonZeroI8 ...
}
...
```
**After:**
```rust
#[repr(transparent)]
#[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_start(1)]
pub struct NonZeroI8(i8);
impl NonZeroI8 {
pub const fn new(n: i8) -> Option<Self> ...
pub const fn get(self) -> i8 ...
pub const fn leading_zeros(self) -> u32 ...
pub const fn trailing_zeros(self) -> u32 ...
pub const fn abs(self) -> NonZeroI8 ...
...
}
```
Having 6-7 different impl blocks per type is not such a problem in today's implementation, but becomes awful upon the switch to a generic `NonZero<T>` type (context: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82363#issuecomment-921513910).
In the implementation from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100428, there end up being **67** impl blocks on that type.

Without the refactor to a single impl block first, introducing `NonZero<T>` would be a usability regression compared to today's separate pages per type. With all those blocks expanded, Ctrl+F is obnoxious because you need to skip 12× past every match you don't care about. With all the blocks collapsed, Ctrl+F is useless. Getting to a state in which exactly one type's (e.g. `NonZero<u32>`) impl blocks are expanded while the rest are collapsed is annoying.
After this refactor to a single impl block, we can move forward with making `NonZero<T>` a generic struct whose docs all go on the same rustdoc page. The rustdoc will have 12 impl blocks, one per choice of `T` supported by the standard library. The reader can expand a single one of those impl blocks e.g. `NonZero<u32>` to understand the entire API of that type.
Note that moving the API into a generic `impl<T> NonZero<T> { ... }` is not going to be an option until after `NonZero<T>` has been stabilized, which may be months or years after its introduction. During the period while generic `NonZero` is unstable, it will be extra important to offer good documentation on all methods demonstrating the API being used through the stable aliases such as `NonZeroI8`.
This PR follows a `key = $value` syntax for the macros which is similar to the macros we already use for producing a single large impl block on the integer primitives.

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/98286#issuecomment-1862159766
The internal, unstable field of `Pin` can conflict with fields from the
inner type accessed via the `Deref` impl. Rename it from `pointer` to
`__pointer`, to make it less likely to conflict with anything else.
Add private `NonZero<T>` type alias.
According to step 2 suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100428#pullrequestreview-1767139731.
This adds a private type alias for `NonZero<T>` so that some parts of the code can already start using `NonZero<T>` syntax.
Using `NonZero<T>` for `convert` and other parts which implement `From` doesn't work while it is a type alias, since this results in conflicting implementations.
Tune the inlinability of `unwrap`
Fixes#115463
cc `@thomcc`
This tweaks `unwrap` on ~~`Option` &~~ `Result` to be two parts:
- `#[inline(always)]` for checking the discriminant
- `#[cold]` for actually panicking
The idea here is that checking the discriminant on a `Result` ~~or `Option`~~ should always be trivial enough to be worth inlining, even in `opt-level=z`, especially compared to passing it to a function.
As seen in the issue and codegen test, this will hopefully help particularly for things like `.try_into().unwrap()`s that are actually infallible, but in a way that's only visible with the inlining.
EDIT: I've restricted this to `Result` to avoid combining effects
Later in this stack, as the nonzero_integers macro is going to be
responsible for producing a larger fraction of the API for the NonZero
integer types, it will need to receive a number of additional arguments
beyond the ones currently seen here.
Additional arguments, especially named arguments across multiple lines,
will turn out clearer if everything in one macro call is for the same
NonZero type.
This commit adopts a similar arrangement to what we do for generating
the API of the integer primitives (`impl u8` etc), which also generate a
single type's API per top-level macro call, rather than generating all
12 impl blocks for the 12 types from one macro call.
This way all the other macros defined in this module, such as
nonzero_leading_trailing_zeros, are available to call within the expansion of
nonzero_integers.
(Macros defined by macro_rules cannot be called from the same module above the
location of the macro_rules.)
In this commit the ability to call things like nonzero_leading_trailing_zeros is
not immediately used, but later commits in this stack will be consolidating the
entire API of NonZeroT to be generated through nonzero_integers, and will need
to make use of some of the other macros to do that.
Add Benchmarks for int_pow Methods.
There is quite a bit of room for improvement in performance of the `int_pow` family of methods. I added benchmarks for those functions. In particular, there are benchmarks for small compile-time bases to measure the effect of #114390. ~~I added a lot (245), but all but 22 of them are marked with `#[ignore]`. There are a lot of macros, and I would appreciate feedback on how to simplify them.~~
~~To run benches relevant to #114390, use `./x bench core --stage 1 -- pow_base_const --include-ignored`.~~
Optimize will_wake implementation by comparing vtable address instead
of its content.
The existing best practice to avoid false negatives from will_wake is
to define a waker vtable as a static item. That approach continues to
works with the new implementation.
While this potentially changes the observable behaviour, the function is
documented to work on a best-effort basis. The PartialEq impl for
RawWaker remains as it was.
This stabilizes all methods under `slice_first_last_chunk`.
Additionally, it const stabilizes the non-mut functions and moves the `_mut`
functions under `const_slice_first_last_chunk`. These are blocked on
`const_mut_refs`.
As part of this change, `slice_split_at_unchecked` was marked const-stable for
internal use (but not fully stable).
A more efficient slice comparison implementation for T: !BytewiseEq
(This is a follow up PR on #113654)
This PR changes the implementation for `[T]` slice comparison when `T: !BytewiseEq`. The previous implementation using zip was not optimized properly by the compiler, which didn't leverage the fact that both length were equal. Performance improvements are for example 20% when testing that `[Some(0_u64); 4096].as_slice() == [Some(0_u64); 4096].as_slice()`.
Use `assert_unsafe_precondition` for `char::from_u32_unchecked`
Use `assert_unsafe_precondition` in `char::from_u32_unchecked` so that it can be stabilized as `const`.
Rewrite `pin` module documentation to clarify usage and invariants
The documentation of `pin` today does not give a complete treatment of pinning from first principles, nor does it adequately help build intuition and understanding for how the different elements of the pinning story fit together.
This rewrite attempts to address these in a way that makes the concept more approachable while also making the documentation more normative.
This PR picks up where `@mcy` left off in #88500 (thanks to him for the original work and `@Manishearth` for mentioning it such that I originally found it). I've directly incorporated much of the feedback left on the original PR and have rewritten and changed some of the main conceits of the prose to better adhere to the feedback from the reviewers on that PR or just explain something in (hopefully) a better way.
