Constify ?-operator for Result and Option
Try to make `?`-operator usable in `const fn` with `Result` and `Option`, see #74935 . Note that the try-operator itself was constified in #87237.
TODO
* [x] Add tests for const T -> T conversions
* [x] cleanup commits
* [x] Remove `#![allow(incomplete_features)]`
* [?] Await decision in #86808 - I'm not sure
* [x] Await support for parsing `~const` in bootstrapping compiler

Remove ignore-tidy-undocumented-unsafe from core::slice::sort
Write down the missing safety arguments to be able to remove `ignore-tidy-undocumented-unsafe` from `core::slice::sort`.
Helps with #66219
``@rustbot`` label C-cleanup T-libs
Restructure std::rt
These changes should reduce binary size slightly while at the same slightly improving performance of startup, thread spawning and `std:🧵:current()`. I haven't verified if the compiler is able to optimize some of these cases already, but at least for some others the compiler is unable to do these optimizations as they slightly change behavior in cases where program startup would crash anyway by omitting a backtrace and panic location.
I can remove 6f6bb16 if preferred.
The `Step` trait guarantees that `Range<impl Step>` yields items in
sorted order. We can override the `Iterator::is_sorted` method based on
this guarantee, as we already do for `Iterator::min` and `max`.
make junit output more consistent with default format
The default format of libtest includes new-lines between each section to ensure the label output from cargo is on it's own line

But when the junit outputter was added to libtest these newlines were omitted, resulting in some "fun" output when run via cargo.

Add SOLID targets
This PR introduces new tier 3 targets for [SOLID](https://www.kmckk.co.jp/eng/SOLID/) embedded development platform by Kyoto Microcomputer Co., Ltd.
| Target name | `target_arch` | `target_vendor` | `target_os` |
|--------------------------------|---------------|-----------------|--------------|
| `aarch64-kmc-solid_asp3` | `aarch64` | `kmc` | `solid_asp3` |
| `armv7a-kmc-solid_asp3-eabi` | `arm` | `kmc` | `solid_asp3` |
| `armv7a-kmc-solid_asp3-eabihf` | `arm` | `kmc` | `solid_asp3` |

- [ ] `cc`: https://github.com/alexcrichton/cc-rs/pull/609
## Non-blocking Issues
- [ ] The target kernel can support `Thread::unpark` directly, but this property is not utilized because the underlying kernel feature is used to implement `Condvar` and it's unclear whether `std` should guarantee that parking tokens are not clobbered by other synchronization primitives.
- [ ] The rustc book: The page title "\*-kmc-solid-\*" shows up as "-kmc-solid-" in TOC
## Tier 3 Target Policy
As tier 3 targets, the new targets are required to adhere to [the tier 3 target policy](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/target-tier-policy.html#tier-3-target-policy) requirements. This section quotes each requirement in entirety and describes how they are met.
> - A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
See [`src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/kmc-solid.md`](https://github.com/kawadakk/rust/blob/release-add-solid-support/src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/kmc-solid.md).
> - Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
> - Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
The new target names follow this format: `$ARCH-$VENDOR-$OS-$ABI`, which is already adopted by most existing targets. `$ARCH` and `$ABI` follow the convention: `aarch64-*` for AArch64, `armv7a-*-eabi` for Armv7-A with EABI. `$OS` is used to distinguish multiple variations of the platform in a somewhat similar way to the Apple targets, though we are only adding one variation in this PR. `$VENDOR` denotes the platform vendor name similarly to the Apple, Solaris, SGX, and VxWorks targets.
`$OS` corresponds to the value of `target_os` and takes the format `solid-$KERNEL`. The inclusion of a hyphen prevents unique decomposition of target names, though the mapping between target names and target attributes isn't trivial in the first place, e.g., because of the Android targets.
More targets may be added later, as we support other base kernels (there are at least three at the point of writing) and are interested in supporting other processor architectures in the future.
> - Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for Rust developers or users.
> - The target must not introduce license incompatibilities.
> - Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust license (`MIT OR Apache-2.0`).
> - The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding new license exceptions (as specified by the `tidy` tool in the rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be subject to any new license requirements.
> - If the target supports building host tools (such as `rustc` or `cargo`), those host tools must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries, other than ordinary runtime libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other binaries built for the target. For instance, `rustc` built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3.
> - Targets should not require proprietary (non-FOSS) components to link a functional binary or library.
> - "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" legal/licensing terms include but are *not* limited to: non-disclosure requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its developers or users.
We intend to make the contribution fully available under the standard Rust license with no additional legal restrictions whatsoever. This PR does not introduce any new dependency less permissive than the Rust license policy, and we are willing to ensure this doesn't happen for future contributions regarding the new targets.
The new targets don't support building host tools.
Although the new targets use a platform-provided C compiler toolchain, it can be substituted by [GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain](https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm) for testing purposes.
> - Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (`core` for most targets, `alloc` for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, `std` for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
Most features are implemented. The following features are not implemented due to the lack of native support:
- `fs::File::{file_attr, truncate, duplicate, set_permissions}`
- `fs::{symlink, link, canonicalize}`
- Process creation
- Command-line arguments
~~Networking is not implemented yet, and we intend to add it as soon as it's ready.~~
Edit (2021-07-07): Networking is now implemented.
Backtrace generation is not really a good fit for embedded targets, so it's intentionally left unimplemented. Unwinding is functional, however.
> - The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
See [`src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/kmc-solid.md`](https://github.com/kawadakk/rust/blob/release-add-solid-support/src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/kmc-solid.md). Running tests is not supported.
> - Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise participate in discussions.
> - This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
> - Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via ``@`)` to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
> - Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested such notifications.
> - Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target.
> - In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets, such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target.
We acknowledge these requirements and intend to ensure they are met.
There are no closely related targets at the moment.
SOLID[1] is an embedded development platform provided by Kyoto
Microcomputer Co., Ltd. This commit introduces a basic Tier 3 support
for SOLID.
# New Targets
The following targets are added:
- `aarch64-kmc-solid_asp3`
- `armv7a-kmc-solid_asp3-eabi`
- `armv7a-kmc-solid_asp3-eabihf`
SOLID's target software system can be divided into two parts: an
RTOS kernel, which is responsible for threading and synchronization,
and Core Services, which provides filesystems, networking, and other
things. The RTOS kernel is a μITRON4.0[2][3]-derived kernel based on
the open-source TOPPERS RTOS kernels[4]. For uniprocessor systems
(more precisely, systems where only one processor core is allocated for
SOLID), this will be the TOPPERS/ASP3 kernel. As μITRON is
traditionally only specified at the source-code level, the ABI is
unique to each implementation, which is why `asp3` is included in the
target names.
More targets could be added later, as we support other base kernels
(there are at least three at the point of writing) and are interested
in supporting other processor architectures in the future.
# C Compiler
Although SOLID provides its own supported C/C++ build toolchain, GNU Arm
Embedded Toolchain seems to work for the purpose of building Rust.
# Unresolved Questions
A μITRON4 kernel can support `Thread::unpark` natively, but it's not
used by this commit's implementation because the underlying kernel
feature is also used to implement `Condvar`, and it's unclear whether
`std` should guarantee that parking tokens are not clobbered by other
synchronization primitives.
# Unsupported or Unimplemented Features
Most features are implemented. The following features are not
implemented due to the lack of native support:
- `fs::File::{file_attr, truncate, duplicate, set_permissions}`
- `fs::{symlink, link, canonicalize}`
- Process creation
- Command-line arguments
Backtrace generation is not really a good fit for embedded targets, so
it's intentionally left unimplemented. Unwinding is functional, however.
## Dynamic Linking
Dynamic linking is not supported. The target platform supports dynamic
linking, but enabling this in Rust causes several problems.
- The linker invocation used to build the shared object of `std` is
too long for the platform-provided linker to handle.
- A linker script with specific requirements is required for the
compiled shared object to be actually loadable.
As such, we decided to disable dynamic linking for now. Regardless, the
users can try to create shared objects by manually invoking the linker.
## Executable
Building an executable is not supported as the notion of "executable
files" isn't well-defined for these targets.

Fix spacing of links in inline code.
Similar to #80733, but the focus is different. This PR eliminates all occurrences of pieced-together inline code blocks like [`Box`]`<`[`Option`]`<T>>` and replaces them with good-looking ones (using HTML-syntax), like <code>[Box]<[Option]\<T>></code>. As far as I can tell, I should’ve found all of these in the standard library (regex search with `` r"`\]`|`\[`" ``) \[except for in `core::convert` where I’ve noticed other things in the docs that I want to fix in a separate PR]. In particular, unlike #80733, I’ve added almost no new instance of inline code that’s broken up into multiple links (or some link and some link-free part). I also added tooltips (the stuff in quotes for the markdown link listings) in places that caught my eye, but that’s by no means systematic, just opportunistic.
[Box]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html "Box"
[`Box`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/struct.Box.html "Box"
[Option]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html "Option"
[`Option`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/enum.Option.html "Option"
Context: I got annoyed by repeatedly running into new misformatted inline code while reading the standard library docs. I know that once issue #83997 (and/or related ones) are resolved, these changes become somewhat obsolete, but I fail to notice much progress on that end right now.

Introduce `Rvalue::ShallowInitBox`
Polished version of #88700.
Implements MCP rust-lang/compiler-team#460, and should allow #43596 to go forward.
In short, creating an empty box is split from a nullary-op `NullOp::Box` into two steps, first a call to `exchange_malloc`, then a `Rvalue::ShallowInitBox` which transmutes `*mut u8` to a shallow-initialized `Box<T>`. This allows the `exchange_malloc` call to unwind. Details can be found in the MCP.
`NullOp::Box` is not yet removed, purely to make reverting easier in case anything goes wrong as the result of this PR. If revert is needed a reversion of "Use Rvalue::ShallowInitBox for box expression" commit followed by a test bless should be sufficient.
Experiments in #88700 showed a very slight compile-time perf regression due to (supposedly) slightly more time spent in LLVM. We could omit unwind edge generation (in non-`oom=panic` case) in box expression MIR construction to restore perf; but I don't think it's necessary since runtime perf isn't affected and perf difference is rather small.
Add missing time complexities to linked_list.rs
Most functions in LinkedList have time complexities in their description:
Like push front:
```
Adds an element first in the list.
This operation should compute in O(1) time.
```
Time complexities were missing for the following, so I've added them in this PR:
contains: O(n)
front: O(1)
front_mut: O(1)
back: O(1)
back_mut: O(1)
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.
Temporarily rename int_roundings functions to avoid conflicts
These functions are unstable, but because they're inherent they still
introduce conflicts with stable trait functions in crates. Temporarily
rename them to fix these conflicts, until we can resolve those conflicts
in a better way.
Add a better error message for #39364
There is a known bug in the implementation of mpsc channels in rust.
This adds a clearer error message when the bug occurs, so that developers don't lose too much time looking for the origin of the bug.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39364
Fix WinUWP std compilation errors due to I/O safety
I/O safety for Windows has landed in #87329. However, it does not cover UWP specific parts and prevents all UWP targets from building. See https://github.com/YtFlow/Maple/issues/18. This PR fixes these compile errors when building std for UWP targets.
These functions are unstable, but because they're inherent they still
introduce conflicts with stable trait functions in crates. Temporarily
rename them to fix these conflicts, until we can resolve those conflicts
in a better way.
Fix missing `no_global_oom_handling` cfg-gating
Cfg-gate these trait impls that are neglected.
These functions compile now because they use `box` syntax which depends on `exchange_malloc` during codegen only; as a result they compiles with cfg `no_global_oom_handling` but shouldn't.
Discovered in #89030 because that PR makes `box` syntax depend on `exchange_malloc` lang item during MIR construction.
Impl `Error` for `FromSecsError` without foreign type
Using it through the crate-local path in `std` means that it shouldn't make an "Implementations on Foreign Types" section in the `std::error::Error` docs.
Fixes a technicality regarding the size of C's `char` type
Specifically, ISO/IEC 9899:2018 — better known as "C18" — (and at least
C11, C99 and C89) do not specify the size of `byte` in bits.
Section 3.6 defines "byte" as "addressable unit of data storage" while
section 6.2.5 ("Types") only defines "char" as "large enough to store
any member of the basic execution set" giving it a lower bound of 7 bit
(since there are 96 characters in the basic execution set).
With section 6.5.3.4 paragraph 4 "When sizeof is applied to an operant
that has type char […] the result is 1" you could read this as the size
of `char` in bits being defined as exactly the same as the number of
bits in a byte but it's also valid to read that as an exception.
In general implementations take `char` as the smallest unit of
addressable memory, which for modern byte-addressed architectures is
overwhelmingly 8 bits to the point of this convention being completely
cemented into just about all of our software.
So is any of this actually relevant at all? I hope not. I sincerely hope
that this never, ever comes up.
But if for some reason a poor rustacean is having to interface with C
code running on a Cray X1 that in 2003 is still doing word-addressed
memory with 64-bit chars and they trust the docs here blindly it will
blow up in her face. And I'll be truly sorry for her to have to deal
with … all of that.
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.
This mainly fixes the critical issue of aarch64 store intrinsics
overwriting additional memory, see
https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/issues/1220
Other changes:
* aarch64/armv7: additional vld1/vst1 intrinsics + perf fixes for existing ones
* armv7: Make FMA work with vfpv4
* Non-visible changes to the testing framework
Using it through the crate-local path in `std` means that it shouldn't make an "Implementations on Foreign Types" section in the `std::error::Error` docs.
Add initial support for m68k
This patch series adds initial support for m68k making use of the new M68k
backend introduced with LLVM-13. Additional changes will be needed to be
able to actually use the backend for this target.
Specifically, ISO/IEC 9899:2018 — better known as "C18" — (and at least
C11, C99 and C89) do not specify the size of `byte` in bits.
Section 3.6 defines "byte" as "addressable unit of data storage" while
section 6.2.5 ("Types") only defines "char" as "large enough to store

that this never, ever comes up.
But if for some reason a poor rustacean is having to interface with C
code running on a Cray X1 that in 2003 is still doing word-addressed
memory with 64-bit words and they trust the docs here blindly it will
blow up in her face. And I'll be truly sorry for her to have to deal
with … all of that.
