Add doc aliases for memory allocations
This patch adds doc aliases for various C allocation functions, making it possible to search for the C-equivalent of a function and finding the (safe) Rust counterpart:
- `Vec::with_capacity` / `Box::new` / `vec!` -> alloc + malloc, allocates memory
- `Box::new_zeroed` -> calloc, allocates zeroed-out memory
- `Vec::{reserve,reserve_exact,try_reserve_exact,shrink_to_fit,shrink_to}` -> realloc, reallocates a previously allocated slice of memory
It's worth noting that `Vec::new` does not allocate, so we don't link to it. Instead people are probably looking for `Vec::with_capacity` or `vec!`. I hope this will allow people comfortable with the system allocation APIs to make it easier to find what they may be looking for.
Thanks!
Enforce statically that `MIN_NON_ZERO_CAP` is calculated at compile time
Previously, it would usually get computed by LLVM, but this enforces it. This removes the need for the comment saying "LLVM is smart enough".
I don't expect this to make a performance difference, but I do think it makes the performance properties easier to reason about.
Fix broken links with `--document-private-items` in the standard library
As it was suggested in #81037 `SpecFromIter` is not
in the scope and therefore we get a warning when we try to
do document private intems in `rust/library/alloc/`.
This addresses #81037 by adding the trait in the scope as ```@jyn514```
suggested and also adding an `allow(unused_imports)` flag so that
the compiler does not complain, Since the trait is not used
per se in the code, it's just needed to have properly documented
docs.
Improve grammar in documentation of format strings
The docs previously were
* using some weird `<` and `>` around some nonterminals
* _correct me if these **did** have any meaning_
* using of a (not explicitly defined) `text` nonterminal that didn’t explicitly disallow productions containing `'{'` or `'}'`
* incorrect in not allowing for `x?` and `X?` productions of `type`
* unnecessarily ambiguous, both
* allowing `type` to be `''`, and
* using an optional `[type]`
* using inconsistent underscore/hyphenation style between `format_string` and `format_spec` vs `maybe-format`

Visualize vector while differentiating between stack and heap.
Inspired by cheats.rs, as this is probably the first place beginner go,
they could understand stack and heap, length and capacity with this. Not
sure if adding this means we should add to other places too.

BTreeMap: prefer bulk_steal functions over specialized ones
The `steal_` functions (apart from their return value) are basically specializations of the more general `bulk_steal_` functions. This PR removes the specializations. The library/alloc benchmarks say this is never slower and up to 6% faster.

Don't make tools responsible for checking unknown and renamed lints
Previously, clippy (and any other tool emitting lints) had to have their
own separate UNKNOWN_LINTS pass, because the compiler assumed any tool
lint could be valid. Now, as long as any lint starting with the tool
prefix exists, the compiler will warn when an unknown lint is present.
This may interact with the unstable `tool_lint` feature, which I don't entirely understand, but it will take the burden off those external tools to add their own lint pass, which seems like a step in the right direction to me.
- Don't mark `ineffective_unstable_trait_impl` as an internal lint
- Use clippy's more advanced lint suggestions
- Deprecate the `UNKNOWN_CLIPPY_LINTS` pass (and make it a no-op)
- Say 'unknown lint `clippy::x`' instead of 'unknown lint x'
This is tested by existing clippy tests. When https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80527 merges, it will also be tested in rustdoc tests. AFAIK there is no way to test this with rustc directly.
Force vec![] to expression position only
r? `@oli-obk`
I went with the lazy way of only changing what broke. I moved the test to ui/macros because the diagnostics no longer give suggestions.
Closes#61933
BTreeMap: expose new_internal function and sanitize from_new_internal
`new_internal` is the functional core of the imperative `push_internal_level`, and `from_new_internal` can easily do a proper job instead of returning a half-baked node.

Re-stabilize Weak::as_ptr and friends for unsized T
As per [T-lang consensus](https://hackmd.io/7r3_is6uTz-163fsOV8Vfg), this uses a branch to handle the dangling case. The discussed optimization of only doing the branch in the T: ?Sized case is left for a followup patch, as doing so is not trivial (as it requires specialization) and not _obviously_ better (as it requires using `wrapping_offset` rather than `offset` more).
<details><summary>Basically said optimization</summary>
Specialize on `T: Sized`:
```rust
fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const T {
if [ T is Sized ] || !is_dangling(ptr) {
(ptr as *mut T).set_ptr_value( (ptr as *mut u8).wrapping_offset(data_offset) )
} else {
ptr::null()
}
}
fn from_raw(*const T) -> Self {
if [ T is Sized ] || !ptr.is_null() {
let ptr = (ptr as *mut RcBox).set_ptr_value( (ptr as *mut u8).wrapping_offset(-data_offset) );
Weak { ptr }
} else {
Weak::new()
}
}
```
(but with more `set_ptr_value` to avoid `Sized` restrictions and maintain metadata.)
Written in this fashion, this is not a correctness-critical specialization (i.e. so long as `[ T is Sized ]` is false for unsized `T`, it can be `rand()` for sized `T` without breaking correctness), but it's still touchy, so I'd rather do it in another PR with separate review.

This effectively reverts #80422 and re-establishes #74160. T-libs [previously signed off](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74160#issuecomment-660539373) on this stable API change in #74160.
Clarify what the effects of a 'logic error' are
This clarifies what a 'logic error' is (which is a term used to describe what happens if you put things in a hash table or btree and then use something like a refcell to break the internal ordering). This tries to be as vague as possible, as we don't really want to promise what happens, except "bad things, but not UB". This was discussed in #80657
It's not an internal lint:
- It's not in the rustc::internal lint group
- It's on unconditionally, because it actually lints `staged_api`, not
the compiler
This fixes a bug where `#[deny(rustc::internal)]` would warn that
`rustc::internal` was an unknown lint.
Remove unreachable panics from VecDeque::{front/back}[_mut]
`VecDeque`'s `front`, `front_mut`, `back` and `back_mut` methods are implemented in terms of the index operator, which causes these functions to contain [unreachable panic calls](https://rust.godbolt.org/z/MTnq1o).
This PR reimplements these methods in terms of `get[_mut]` instead.
Remove unstable deprecated Vec::remove_item
Closes#40062
The `Vec::remove_item` method was deprecated in `1.46.0` (in August of 2020). This PR now removes that unstable method entirely.
Deprecate atomic::spin_loop_hint in favour of hint::spin_loop
For https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/55002
We wanted to leave `atomic::spin_loop_hint` alone when stabilizing `hint::spin_loop` so folks had some time to migrate. This now deprecates `atomic_spin_loop_hint`.
Try to avoid locals when cloning into Box/Rc/Arc
For generic `T: Clone`, we can allocate an uninitialized box beforehand,
which gives the optimizer a chance to create the clone directly in the
heap. For `T: Copy`, we can go further and do a simple memory copy,
regardless of optimization level.
The same applies to `Rc`/`Arc::make_mut` when they must clone the data.
Stabilize split_inclusive
### Contents of this MR
This stabilises:
* `slice::split_inclusive`
* `slice::split_inclusive_mut`
* `str::split_inclusive`
Closes#72360.
### A possible concern
The proliferation of `split_*` methods is not particularly pretty. The existence of `split_inclusive` seems to invite the addition of `rsplit_inclusive`, `splitn_inclusive`, etc. We could instead have a more general API, along these kinds of lines maybe:
```
pub fn split_generic('a,P,H>(&'a self, pat: P, how: H) -> ...
where P: Pattern
where H: SplitHow;
pub fn split_generic_mut('a,P,H>(&'a mut self, pat: P, how: H) -> ...
where P: Pattern
where H: SplitHow;
trait SplitHow {
fn reverse(&self) -> bool;
fn inclusive -> bool;
fn limit(&self) -> Option<usize>;
}
pub struct SplitFwd;
...
pub struct SplitRevInclN(pub usize);
```
But maybe that is worse.
### Let us defer that? ###
This seems like a can of worms. I think we can defer opening it now; if and when we have something more general, these two methods can become convenience aliases. But I thought I would mention it so the lang API team can consider it and have an opinion.
