Add SyncUnsafeCell.
This adds `SyncUnsafeCell`, which is just `UnsafeCell` except it implements `Sync`.
This was first proposed under the name `RacyUnsafeCell` here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53639#issuecomment-415515748 and here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53639#issuecomment-432741659 and here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53639#issuecomment-888435728
It allows you to create an UnsafeCell that is Sync without having to wrap it in a struct first (and then implement Sync for that struct).
E.g. `static X: SyncUnsafeCell<i32>`. Using a regular `UnsafeCell` as `static` is not possible, because it isn't `Sync`. We have a language workaround for it called `static mut`, but it's nice to be able to use the proper type for such unsafety instead.
It also makes implementing synchronization primitives based on unsafe cells slightly less verbose, because by using `SyncUnsafeCell` for `UnsafeCell`s that are shared between threads, you don't need a separate `impl<..> Sync for ..`. Using this type also clearly documents that the cell is expected to be accessed from multiple threads.
This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
Add #[must_use] to remaining core functions
I've run out of compelling reasons to group functions together across crates so I'm just going to go module-by-module. This is everything remaining from the `core` crate.
Ignored by clippy for reasons unknown:
```rust
core::alloc::Layout unsafe fn for_value_raw<T: ?Sized>(t: *const T) -> Self;
core::any const fn type_name_of_val<T: ?Sized>(_val: &T) -> &'static str;
```
Ignored by clippy because of `mut`:
```rust
str fn split_at_mut(&mut self, mid: usize) -> (&mut str, &mut str);
```
<del>
Ignored by clippy presumably because a caller might want `f` called for side effects. That seems like a bad usage of `map` to me.
```rust
core::cell::Ref<'b, T> fn map<U: ?Sized, F>(orig: Ref<'b, T>, f: F) -> Ref<'b, T>;
core::cell::Ref<'b, T> fn map_split<U: ?Sized, V: ?Sized, F>(orig: Ref<'b, T>, f: F) -> (Ref<'b, U>, Ref<'b, V>);
```
</del>

Automatic exponential formatting in Debug
Context: See [this comment from the libs team](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2729#issuecomment-853454204)
---
Makes `"{:?}"` switch to exponential for floats based on magnitude. The libs team suggested exploring this idea in the discussion thread for RFC rust-lang/rfcs#2729. (**note:** this is **not** an implementation of the RFC; it is an implementation of one of the alternatives)
Thresholds chosen were 1e-4 and 1e16. Justification described [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2729#issuecomment-864482954).
**This will require a crater run.**
---
As mentioned in the commit message of 8731d4dfb47, this behavior will not apply when a precision is supplied, because I wanted to preserve the following existing and useful behavior of `{:.PREC?}` (which recursively applies `{:.PREC}` to floats in a struct):
```rust
assert_eq!(
format!("{:.2?}", [100.0, 0.000004]),
"[100.00, 0.00]",
)
```
I looked around and am not sure where there are any tests that actually use this in the test suite, though?
All things considered, I'm surprised that this change did not seem to break even a single existing test in `x.py test --stage 2`. (even when I tried a smaller threshold of 1e6)
Fix Lower/UpperExp formatting for integers and precision zero
Fixes the integer part of #89493 (I daren't touch the floating-point formatting code). The issue is that the "subtracted" precision essentially behaves like extra trailing zeros, but this is not currently reflected in the code properly.
Make `Duration` respect `width` when formatting using `Debug`
When printing or writing a `std::time::Duration` using `Debug` formatting, it previously completely ignored any specified `width`. This is unlike types like integers and floats, which do pad to `width`, for both `Display` and `Debug`, though not all types consider `width` in their `Debug` output (see e.g. #30164). Curiously, `Duration`'s `Debug` formatting *did* consider `precision`.
This PR makes `Duration` pad to `width` just like integers and floats, so that
```rust
format!("|{:8?}|", Duration::from_millis(1234))
```
returns
```
|1.234s |
```
Before you ask "who formats `Debug` output?", note that `Duration` doesn't actually implement `Display`, so `Debug` is currently the only way to format `Duration`s. I think that's wrong, and `Duration` should get a `Display` implementation, but in the meantime there's no harm in making the `Debug` formatting respect `width` rather than ignore it.
I chose the default alignment to be left-aligned. The general rule Rust uses is: numeric types are right-aligned by default, non-numeric types left-aligned. It wasn't clear to me whether `Duration` is a numeric type or not. The fact that a formatted `Duration` can end with suffixes of variable length (`"s"`, `"ms"`, `"µs"`, etc.) made me lean towards left-alignment, but it would be trivial to change it.
Fixes issue #88059.
This allows the format_args! macro to keep the pre-expansion code out of
the unsafe block without doing gymnastics with nested `match`
expressions. This reduces codegen.
Optimize fmt::PadAdapter::wrap
After adding the first `write!` usage to my project and printing the result to the console, I noticed, that my binary contains the strings "called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value`" and more importantly "C:\Users\Patrick Fischer\.rustup\toolchains\nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib\rustlib\src\rust\library\core\src\fmt\builders.rs", with my release build being configured as follows:
```
[profile.release]
panic = "abort"
codegen-units = 1
strip = "symbols" # the important bit
lto = true
```
I am in a no_std environment and my custom panic handler is a simple `loop {}`. I did not expect the above information to be preserved. I heavily suspect the edited function to be the culprit. It contains the only direct use of `Option::unwrap` in the entire file and I tracked the symbols in the assembly to be used from the section `_ZN68_$LT$core..fmt..builders..PadAdapter$u20$as$u20$core..fmt..Write$GT$9write_str17ha1d5e5efe167202aE`.
Aside from me suspecting this function to be the culprit, the replaced code performs the same operation as `Option::insert`, but without the `unreachable_unchecked` optimization `Option::insert` provides. Therefore, it makes sense to me to use the more optimized version, instead.
As I don't change any semantics, I hope a simple pull request suffices.
During const eval, this replaces calls to core::panicking::panic_fmt and
std::panicking::being_panic_fmt with a call to a new const fn:
core::panicking::const_panic_fmt. That function uses
fmt::Arguments::as_str() to get the str and calls panic_str with that
instead.
panic!() invocations with formatting arguments are still not accepted,
as the creation of such a fmt::Arguments cannot be done in constant
functions right now.
core: add unstable no_fp_fmt_parse to disable float formatting code
In some projects (e.g. kernel), floating point is forbidden. They can disable
hardware floating point support and use `+soft-float` to avoid fp instructions
from being generated, but as libcore contains the formatting code for `f32`
and `f64`, some fp intrinsics are depended. One could define stubs for these
intrinsics that just panic [1], but it means that if any formatting functions
are accidentally used, mistake can only be caught during the runtime rather
than during compile-time or link-time, and they consume a lot of space without
LTO.
This patch provides an unstable cfg `no_fp_fmt_parse` to disable these.
A panicking stub is still provided for the `Debug` implementation (unfortunately)
because there are some SIMD types that use `#[derive(Debug)]`.

* {:.PREC?} already had legitimately useful behavior (recursive formatting of structs using
fixed precision for floats) and I suspect that changes to the output there would be unwelcome.
(besides, precision introduces sinister edge cases where a number can be rounded up to one
of the thresholds)
Thus, the new behavior of Debug is, "dynamically switch to exponential, but only if there's
no precision."
* This could not be implemented in terms of float_to_decimal_common without repeating the branch
on precision, so 'float_to_general_debug' is a new function. The name is '_debug' instead of
'_common' because the considerations in the previous bullet make this logic pretty specific
to Debug.
* 'float_to_decimal_common' is now only used by Display, so I inlined the min_precision argument
and renamed the function accordingly.
This avoids a zero-length write_str call, which boils down to a zero-length
memmove and ultimately costs quite a few instructions on some workloads.
This is approximately a 0.33% instruction count win on diesel-check.
Format `Struct { .. }` on one line even with `{:#?}`.
The result of `debug_struct("A").finish_non_exhaustive()` before this change:
```
A {
..
}
```
And after this change:
```
A { .. }
```
If there's any fields, the result stays unchanged:
```
A {
field: value,
..
}
