Following up on #87236, add comments to the unix command-line argument
support explaining that the code doesn't mutate the system-provided

add `Stdin::lines`, `Stdin::split` forwarder methods
Add forwarder methods `Stdin::lines` and `Stdin::split`, which consume
and lock a `Stdin` handle, and forward on to the corresponding `BufRead`
methods. This should make it easier for beginners to use those iterator
constructors without explicitly dealing with locks or lifetimes.
Replaces #86412.

implement TrustedLen for Flatten/FlatMap if the U: IntoIterator == [T; N]
This only works if arrays are passed directly instead of array iterators
because we need to be sure that they have not been advanced before
Flatten does its size calculation.

Merge libterm into libtest
I think it's quite clear at this point that rust won't stablize the current libterm APIs to the outside world. And its only user is libtest. The compiler doesn't use this api at all. So I'm merging the crate into libtest as a module.
This also allows me to remove 15% of the libterm code, since these APIs are dead-code now.

Simplify command-line argument initialization on unix
Simplify Rust's command-line argument initialization code on unix:
- The cleanup code isn't needed, because it was just zeroing out non-owning variables at runtime cleanup time. After 91c3eee173, Rust's command-line initialization code on unix no longer allocates `CString`s and a `Vec` at startup time.
- The `Mutex` isn't needed; if there's somehow a call to `args()` before argument initialization has happened, the code returns return an empty list, which we can do with a null check.
With these changes, a simple cdylib that doesn't use threads avoids getting `pthread_mutex_lock`/`pthread_mutex_unlock` in its symbol table.

Add diagnostic items for Clippy
This adds a bunch of diagnostic items to `std`/`core`/`alloc` functions, structs and traits used in Clippy. The actual refactorings in Clippy to use these items will be done in a different PR in Clippy after the next sync.
This PR doesn't include all paths Clippy uses, I've only gone through the first 85 lines of Clippy's [`paths.rs`](ecf85f4bdc/clippy_utils/src/paths.rs) (after rust-lang/rust-clippy#7466) to get some feedback early on. I've also decided against adding diagnostic items to methods, as it would be nicer and more scalable to access them in a nicer fashion, like adding a `is_diagnostic_assoc_item(did, sym::Iterator, sym::map)` function or something similar (Suggested by `@camsteffen` [on Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/147480-t-compiler.2Fwg-diagnostics/topic/Diagnostic.20Item.20Naming.20Convention.3F/near/225024603))
There seems to be some different naming conventions when it comes to diagnostic items, some use UpperCamelCase (`BinaryHeap`) and some snake_case (`hashmap_type`). This PR uses UpperCamelCase for structs and traits and snake_case with the module name as a prefix for functions. Any feedback on is this welcome.

r? `@Manishearth`
In the command-line argument initialization code, remove the Mutex
around the `ARGV` and `ARGC` variables, and simply check whether
ARGV is non-null before dereferencing it. This way, if either of
ARGV or ARGC is not initialized, we'll get an empty argument list.
This allows simple cdylibs to avoid having
`pthread_mutex_lock`/`pthread_mutex_unlock` appear in their symbol
tables if they don't otherwise use threads.
Update Rust Float-Parsing Algorithms to use the Eisel-Lemire algorithm.
# Summary
Rust, although it implements a correct float parser, has major performance issues in float parsing. Even for common floats, the performance can be 3-10x [slower](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.11408.pdf) than external libraries such as [lexical](https://github.com/Alexhuszagh/rust-lexical) and [fast-float-rust](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust).
Recently, major advances in float-parsing algorithms have been developed by Daniel Lemire, along with others, and implement a fast, performant, and correct float parser, with speeds up to 1200 MiB/s on Apple's M1 architecture for the [canada](0e2b5d163d/data/canada.txt) dataset, 10x faster than Rust's 130 MiB/s.
In addition, [edge-cases](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85234) in Rust's [dec2flt](868c702d0c/library/core/src/num/dec2flt) algorithm can lead to over a 1600x slowdown relative to efficient algorithms. This is due to the use of Clinger's correct, but slow [AlgorithmM and Bellepheron](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.45.4152&rep=rep1&type=pdf), which have been improved by faster big-integer algorithms and the Eisel-Lemire algorithm, respectively.
Finally, this algorithm provides substantial improvements in the number of floats the Rust core library can parse. Denormal floats with a large number of digits cannot be parsed, due to use of the `Big32x40`, which simply does not have enough digits to round a float correctly. Using a custom decimal class, with much simpler logic, we can parse all valid decimal strings of any digit count.
```rust
// Issue in Rust's dec2fly.
"2.47032822920623272088284396434110686182e-324".parse::<f64>(); // Err(ParseFloatError { kind: Invalid })
```
# Solution
This pull request implements the Eisel-Lemire algorithm, modified from [fast-float-rust](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust) (which is licensed under Apache 2.0/MIT), along with numerous modifications to make it more amenable to inclusion in the Rust core library. The following describes both features in fast-float-rust and improvements in fast-float-rust for inclusion in core.
**Documentation**
Extensive documentation has been added to ensure the code base may be maintained by others, which explains the algorithms as well as various associated constants and routines. For example, two seemingly magical constants include documentation to describe how they were derived as follows:
```rust
// Round-to-even only happens for negative values of q
// when q ≥ −4 in the 64-bit case and when q ≥ −17 in
// the 32-bitcase.
//
// When q ≥ 0,we have that 5^q ≤ 2m+1. In the 64-bit case,we
// have 5^q ≤ 2m+1 ≤ 2^54 or q ≤ 23. In the 32-bit case,we have
// 5^q ≤ 2m+1 ≤ 2^25 or q ≤ 10.
//
// When q < 0, we have w ≥ (2m+1)×5^−q. We must have that w < 2^64
// so (2m+1)×5^−q < 2^64. We have that 2m+1 > 2^53 (64-bit case)
// or 2m+1 > 2^24 (32-bit case). Hence,we must have 2^53×5^−q < 2^64
// (64-bit) and 2^24×5^−q < 2^64 (32-bit). Hence we have 5^−q < 2^11
// or q ≥ −4 (64-bit case) and 5^−q < 2^40 or q ≥ −17 (32-bitcase).
//
// Thus we have that we only need to round ties to even when
// we have that q ∈ [−4,23](in the 64-bit case) or q∈[−17,10]
// (in the 32-bit case). In both cases,the power of five(5^|q|)
// fits in a 64-bit word.
const MIN_EXPONENT_ROUND_TO_EVEN: i32;
const MAX_EXPONENT_ROUND_TO_EVEN: i32;
```
This ensures maintainability of the code base.
**Improvements for Disguised Fast-Path Cases**
The fast path in float parsing algorithms attempts to use native, machine floats to represent both the significant digits and the exponent, which is only possible if both can be exactly represented without rounding. In practice, this means that the significant digits must be 53-bits or less and the then exponent must be in the range `[-22, 22]` (for an f64). This is similar to the existing dec2flt implementation.
However, disguised fast-path cases exist, where there are few significant digits and an exponent above the valid range, such as `1.23e25`. In this case, powers-of-10 may be shifted from the exponent to the significant digits, discussed at length in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85198.
**Digit Parsing Improvements**
Typically, integers are parsed from string 1-at-a-time, requiring unnecessary multiplications which can slow down parsing. An approach to parse 8 digits at a time using only 3 multiplications is described in length [here](https://johnnylee-sde.github.io/Fast-numeric-string-to-int/). This leads to significant performance improvements, and is implemented for both big and little-endian systems.
**Unsafe Changes**
Relative to fast-float-rust, this library makes less use of unsafe functionality and clearly documents it. This includes the refactoring and documentation of numerous unsafe methods undesirably marked as safe. The original code would look something like this, which is deceptively marked as safe for unsafe functionality.
```rust
impl AsciiStr {
#[inline]
pub fn step_by(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self {
unsafe { self.ptr = self.ptr.add(n) };
self
}
}
...
#[inline]
fn parse_scientific(s: &mut AsciiStr<'_>) -> i64 {
// the first character is 'e'/'E' and scientific mode is enabled
let start = *s;
s.step();
...
}
```
The new code clearly documents safety concerns, and does not mark unsafe functionality as safe, leading to better safety guarantees.
```rust
impl AsciiStr {
/// Advance the view by n, advancing it in-place to (n..).
pub unsafe fn step_by(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self {
// SAFETY: same as step_by, safe as long n is less than the buffer length
self.ptr = unsafe { self.ptr.add(n) };
self
}
}
...
/// Parse the scientific notation component of a float.
fn parse_scientific(s: &mut AsciiStr<'_>) -> i64 {
let start = *s;
// SAFETY: the first character is 'e'/'E' and scientific mode is enabled
unsafe {
s.step();
}
...
}
```
This allows us to trivially demonstrate the new implementation of dec2flt is safe.
**Inline Annotations Have Been Removed**
In the previous implementation of dec2flt, inline annotations exist practically nowhere in the entire module. Therefore, these annotations have been removed, which mostly does not impact [performance](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust/issues/15#issuecomment-864485157).
**Fixed Correctness Tests**
Numerous compile errors in `src/etc/test-float-parse` were present, due to deprecation of `time.clock()`, as well as the crate dependencies with `rand`. The tests have therefore been reworked as a [crate](https://github.com/Alexhuszagh/rust/tree/master/src/etc/test-float-parse), and any errors in `runtests.py` have been patched.
**Undefined Behavior**
An implementation of `check_len` which relied on undefined behavior (in fast-float-rust) has been refactored, to ensure that the behavior is well-defined. The original code is as follows:
```rust
#[inline]
pub fn check_len(&self, n: usize) -> bool {
unsafe { self.ptr.add(n) <= self.end }
}
```
And the new implementation is as follows:
```rust
/// Check if the slice at least `n` length.
fn check_len(&self, n: usize) -> bool {
n <= self.as_ref().len()
}
```
Note that this has since been fixed in [fast-float-rust](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust/pull/29).
**Inferring Binary Exponents**
Rather than explicitly store binary exponents, this new implementation infers them from the decimal exponent, reducing the amount of static storage required. This removes the requirement to store [611 i16s](868c702d0c/library/core/src/num/dec2flt/table.rs (L8)).
# Code Size
The code size, for all optimizations, does not considerably change relative to before for stripped builds, however it is **significantly** smaller prior to stripping the resulting binaries. These binary sizes were calculated on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
**new**
Using rustc version 1.55.0-dev.

# Correctness
The dec2flt implementation passes all of Rust's unittests and comprehensive float parsing tests, along with numerous other tests such as Nigel Toa's comprehensive float [tests](https://github.com/nigeltao/parse-number-fxx-test-data) and Hrvoje Abraham [strtod_tests](https://github.com/ahrvoje/numerics/blob/master/strtod/strtod_tests.toml). Therefore, it is unlikely that this algorithm will incorrectly round parsed floats.

Due to #20400 the corresponding TrustedLen impls need a helper trait
instead of directly adding `Item = &[T;N]` bounds.
Since TrustedLen is a public trait this in turn means
the helper trait needs to be public. Since it's just a workaround
for a compiler deficit it's marked hidden, unstable and unsafe.
Correct invariant documentation for `steps_between`
Given that the previous example involves stepping forward from A to B, the equivalent example on this line would make most sense as stepping backward from B to A.
I should probably add a caveat here that I’m fairly new to Rust, and this is my first contribution to this repo, so it’s very possible that I’ve misunderstood how this is supposed to work (either on a technical level or a social one). If this is the case, please do let me know.
This only works if arrays are passed directly instead of array iterators
because we need to be sure that they have not been advanced before
Flatten does its size calculation.
Make the specialized Fuse still deal with None
Fixes#85863 by removing the assumption that we'll never see a cleared iterator in the `I: FusedIterator` specialization. Now all `Fuse` methods check for the possibility that `self.iter` is `None`, and the specialization only avoids _setting_ that to `None` in `&mut self` methods.
Given that the previous example involves stepping forward from A to B,
the equivalent example on this line would make most sense as stepping
backward from B to A.
expand: Support helper attributes for built-in derive macros
This is needed for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86735 (derive macro `Default` should have a helper attribute `default`).
With this PR we can specify helper attributes for built-in derives using syntax `#[rustc_builtin_macro(MacroName, attributes(attr1, attr2, ...))]` which mirrors equivalent syntax for proc macros `#[proc_macro_derive(MacroName, attributes(attr1, attr2, ...))]`.
Otherwise expansion infra was already ready for this.
The attribute parsing code is shared between proc macro derives and built-in macros (`fn parse_macro_name_and_helper_attrs`).

create method overview docs for core::option and core::result
The `Option` and `Result` types have large lists of methods. They each could use an overview page of methods grouped by category. These proposed overviews include "truth tables" for the underappreciated boolean operators/combinators of these types. The methods are already somewhat categorized in the source, but some logical groupings are broken up by the necessities of putting related methods in different `impl` blocks, for example.
This is based on #86209, but those are small changes and unlikely to conflict.
Add forwarder methods `Stdin::lines` and `Stdin::split`, which consume
and lock a `Stdin` handle, and forward on to the corresponding `BufRead`
methods. This should make it easier for beginners to use those iterator
constructors without explicitly dealing with locks or lifetimes.
