Update documentation for std::process::Command's new method
In the current documentation, it's not specified that when creating a Command, the .exe extension can be omitted for Windows executables. However, for other types of executable files like .bat or .cmd, the complete filename including the extension must be provided.
I encountered it by noticing that `Command::new("wt").spawn().unwrap()` succeeds on my machine while `Command::new("code").spawn().unwrap()` panics. Turns out VS Code's entrypoint is .cmd file.
`resolve_exe` method mentions this behaviour in [a comment](e7fda447e7/library/std/src/sys/windows/process.rs (L425)), but it makes sense to mention it at a more visible place.
I've added this clarification to the documentation, which should make it more accurate and helpful for Rust developers working on the Windows platform.
Implement rust-lang/compiler-team#578.
When an ICE is encountered on nightly releases, the new rustc panic
handler will also write the contents of the backtrace to disk. If any
`delay_span_bug`s are encountered, their backtrace is also added to the
file. The platform and rustc version will also be collected.

Add support for allocators in `Rc` & `Arc`
Adds the ability for `std::rc:Rc`, `std::rc::Weak`, `std::sync::Arc`, and `std::sync::Weak` to live in custom allocators
Rename VecDeque's `rotate_left` and `rotate_right` parameters
This pull request introduces a modification to the `VecDeque` collection, specifically the `rotate_left` and `rotate_right` functions, by renaming the parameter associated with these functions.
The rationale behind this change is to provide clearer and more consistent naming for the parameter that specifies the number of places to rotate the double-ended queue. By using `n` as the parameter name in both functions, it becomes easier to understand and remember the purpose of the parameter.
Eliminate ZST allocations in `Box` and `Vec`
This PR fixes 2 issues with `Box` and `RawVec` related to ZST allocations. Specifically, the `Allocator` trait requires that:
- If you allocate a zero-sized layout then you must later deallocate it, otherwise the allocator may leak memory.
- You cannot pass a ZST pointer to the allocator that you haven't previously allocated.
These restrictions exist because an allocator implementation is allowed to allocate non-zero amounts of memory for a zero-sized allocation. For example, `malloc` in libc does this.
Currently, ZSTs are handled differently in `Box` and `Vec`:
- `Vec` never allocates when `T` is a ZST or if the vector capacity is 0.
- `Box` just blindly passes everything on to the allocator, including ZSTs.
This causes problems due to the free conversions between `Box<[T]>` and `Vec<T>`, specifically that ZST allocations could get leaked or a dangling pointer could be passed to `deallocate`.
This PR fixes this by changing `Box` to not allocate for zero-sized values and slices. It also fixes a bug in `RawVec::shrink` where shrinking to a size of zero did not actually free the backing memory.
Adjustments for RustyHermit
The interface between `libstd` and the OS changed and some changes are not correctly merged for RustHermit. For instance, the crate `hermit_abi` isn't defined as public, although it provided the socket interface for the application.
In addition, the support of thread::available_parallelism is realized. It returns the number of available processors.
Enable coinduction support for Safe Transmute
This patch adds the `#[rustc_coinductive]` annotation to `BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`, so that it's possible to compute transmutability for recursive types.
## Motivation
Safe Transmute currently already supports references (#110662). However, if a type is implemented recursively, it leads to an infinite loop when we try to check if transmutation is safe.
A couple simple examples that one might want to write, that are currently not possible to check transmutability for:
```rs
#[repr(C)] struct A(&'static B);
#[repr(C)] struct B(&'static A);
```
```rs
#[repr(C)]
enum IList<'a> { Nil, Cons(isize, &'a IList<'a>) }
#[repr(C)]
enum UList<'a> { Nil, Cons(usize, &'a UList<'a>) }
```
Previously, `@jswrenn` was considering writing a co-inductive solver from scratch, just for the `rustc_tranmsute` crate. Later on as I started working on Safe Transmute myself, I came across the `#[rustc_coinductive]` annotation, which is currently only being used for the `Sized` trait. Leveraging this trait actually solved the problem entirely, and it saves a lot of duplicate work that would have had to happen in `rustc_transmute`.
Uplift `clippy::fn_null_check` lint
This PR aims at uplifting the `clippy::fn_null_check` lint into rustc.
## `incorrect_fn_null_checks`
(warn-by-default)
The `incorrect_fn_null_checks` lint checks for expression that checks if a function pointer is null.
### Example
```rust
let fn_ptr: fn() = /* somehow obtained nullable function pointer */
if (fn_ptr as *const ()).is_null() { /* ... */ }
```
### Explanation
Function pointers are assumed to be non-null, checking for their nullity is incorrect.
-----
Mostly followed the instructions for uplifting a clippy lint described here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99696#pullrequestreview-1134072751

Add `Read`, `Write` and `Seek` impls for `Arc<File>` where appropriate
If `&T` implements these traits, `Arc<T>` has no reason not to do so
either. This is useful for operating system handles like `File` or
`TcpStream` which don't need a mutable reference to implement these
traits.

move pal cfgs in f32 and f64 to sys
I'd like to push forward on `sys` being a separate crate. To start with, most of these PAL exception cases are very simple little bits of code like this, so I thought I would try tidying them up.

enable test_join test in Miri
Miri for quite a while now has a hack to support self-referential generators: non-`Unique` mutable references are exempt from aliasing conditions. So we can run this test now. (It passes.)
Also extend a comment in a Vec test, while I am at it.
