My PR #81478 used the wrong calling convention for a set of
functions that are called by the CRT. These functions need to use
`extern "C"`.
This would only affect x86, which is the only target (that I know of)
that has multiple calling conventions.
This patch adds doc aliases for "delete". The added aliases are
supposed to reference usages `delete` in other programming
languages.
- `HashMap::remove`, `BTreeMap::remove` -> `Map#delete` and `delete`
keyword in JavaScript.
- `HashSet::remove`, `BTreeSet::remove` -> `Set#delete` in JavaScript.
- `mem::drop` -> `delete` keyword in C++.
- `fs::remove_file`, `fs::remove_dir`, `fs::remove_dir_all`
-> `File#delete` in Java, `File#delete` and `Dir#delete` in Ruby.
Before this change, searching for "delete" in documentation
returned no results.
Resolve DLL imports at CRT startup, not on demand
On Windows, libstd uses GetProcAddress to locate some DLL imports, so
that libstd can run on older versions of Windows. If a given DLL import
is not present, then libstd uses other behavior (such as fallback
implementations).
This commit uses a feature of the Windows CRT to do these DLL imports
during module initialization, before main() (or DllMain()) is called.
This is the ideal time to resolve imports, because the module is
effectively single-threaded at that point; no other threads can
touch the data or code of the module that is being initialized.
This avoids several problems. First, it makes the cost of performing
the DLL import lookups deterministic. Right now, the DLL imports are
done on demand, which means that application threads _might_ have to
do the DLL import during some time-sensitive operation. This is a
small source of unpredictability. Since threads can race, it's even
possible to have more than one thread running the same redundant
DLL lookup.
This commit also removes using the heap to allocate strings, during
the DLL lookups.
Stabilize raw ref macros
This stabilizes `raw_ref_macros` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73394), which is possible now that https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74355 is fixed.
However, as I already said in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73394#issuecomment-751342185, I am not particularly happy with the current names of the macros. So I propose we also change them, which means I am proposing to stabilize the following in `core::ptr`:
```rust
pub macro const_addr_of($e:expr) {
&raw const $e
}
pub macro mut_addr_of($e:expr) {
&raw mut $e
}
```
The macro name change means we need another round of FCP. Cc `````@rust-lang/libs`````
Fixes#73394
Add `core::stream::Stream`
[[Tracking issue: #79024](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79024)]
This patch adds the `core::stream` submodule and implements `core::stream::Stream` in accordance with [RFC2996](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2996). The RFC hasn't been merged yet, but as requested by the libs team in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2996#issuecomment-725696389 I'm filing this PR to get the ball rolling.
## Documentatation
The docs in this PR have been adapted from [`std::iter`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/index.html), [`async_std::stream`](https://docs.rs/async-std/1.7.0/async_std/stream/index.html), and [`futures::stream::Stream`](https://docs.rs/futures/0.3.8/futures/stream/trait.Stream.html). Once this PR lands my plan is to follow this up with PRs to add helper methods such as `stream::repeat` which can be used to document more of the concepts that are currently missing. That will allow us to cover concepts such as "infinite streams" and "laziness" in more depth.
## Feature gate
The feature gate for `Stream` is `stream_trait`. This matches the `#[lang = "future_trait"]` attribute name. The intention is that only the APIs defined in RFC2996 will use this feature gate, with future additions such as `stream::repeat` using their own feature gates. This is so we can ensure a smooth path towards stabilizing the `Stream` trait without needing to stabilize all the APIs in `core::stream` at once. But also don't start expanding the API until _after_ stabilization, as was the case with `std::future`.
__edit:__ the feature gate has been changed to `async_stream` to match the feature gate proposed in the RFC.
## Conclusion
This PR introduces `core::stream::{Stream, Next}` and re-exports it from `std` as `std::stream::{Stream, Next}`. Landing `Stream` in the stdlib has been a mult-year process; and it's incredibly exciting for this to finally happen!

As described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/68574, the currently exposed API for symlinks is, in fact, a thin wrapper around the corresponding syscall, and not suitable for public usage.
The reason is that the 2nd param in the call is expected to be a handle of a "preopened directory" (a WASI concept for exposing dirs), and the only way to retrieve such handle right now is by tinkering with a private `__wasilibc_find_relpath` API, which is an implementation detail and definitely not something we want users to call directly.
Making matters worse, the semantics of this param aren't obvious from its name (`fd`), and easy to misinterpret, resulting in people trying to pass a handle of the target file itself (as in https://github.com/vitiral/path_abs/pull/50), which doesn't work as expected.
I did a codesearch among open-source repos, and the usage above is so far the only usage of this API at all, but we should fix it before more people start using it incorrectly.
While this is technically a breaking API change, I believe it's a justified one, as 1) it's OS-specific and 2) there was strictly no way to correctly use the previous form of the API, and if someone does use it, they're likely doing it wrong like in the example above.
The new API does not lead to the same confusion, as it mirrors `std::os::unix::fs::symlink` and `std::os::windows::fs::symlink_{file,dir}` variants by accepting source/target paths.
Fixes#68574.
Rationale:
- `abort()` lowers to `wasm32::unreachable()` anyway.
- `abort()` isn't `unsafe`.
- `abort()` matches the comment better.
- `abort()` avoids confusion by future readers (e.g.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/81527): the naming of wasm's
`unreachable' instruction is a bit unfortunate because it is not
related to the `unreachable()` intrinsic (intended to trigger UB).
Codegen is likely to be different since `unreachable()` is `inline`
while `abort()` is `cold`. Since it doesn't look like we are expecting
here to trigger this case, the latter seems better anyway.

Stabilize `Seek::stream_position` (feature `seek_convenience`)
Tracking issue: #59359
Unresolved questions from tracking issue:
- "Override `stream_len` for `File`?" → we can do that in the future, this does not block stabilization.
- "Rename to `len` and `position`?" → as noted in the tracking issue, both of these shorter names have problems (`len` is usually a cheap getter, `position` clashes with `Cursor`). I do think the current names are perfectly fine.
- "Rename `stream_position` to `tell`?" → as mentioned in [the comment bringing this up](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/59359#issuecomment-559541545), `stream_position` is more descriptive. I don't think `tell` would be a good name.
What remains to decide, is whether or not adding these methods is worth it.
Trying to shrink_to greater than capacity should be no-op
Per the discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/56431, `shrink_to` shouldn't panic if you try to make a vector shrink to a capacity greater than its current capacity.
Make std::future a re-export of core::future
After 1a764a7ef59b9cb2eb31658625a6a7dacc3d819b, there are no `std::future`-specific items (except for `cfg(bootstrap)` items removed in 93eed402adbe9e7a532995500d50716d52eefee9). So, instead of defining `std` own module, we can re-export the `core::future` directly.
Implement Error for &(impl Error)
Opening this up just to see what it breaks. It's unfortunate that `&(impl Error)` doesn't actually implement `Error`. If this direct approach doesn't work out then I'll try something different, like an `Error::by_ref` method.
**EDIT:** This is a super low-priority experiment so feel free to cancel it for more important crater runs! 🙂

# Stabilization Report
## Why?
We've been working for the last few years to try "fix" the `Error` trait, which is probably one of the most fundamental in the whole standard library. One of its issues is that we commonly expect you to work with abstract errors through `dyn Trait`, but references and smart pointers over `dyn Trait` don't actually implement the `Error` trait. If you have a `&dyn Error` or a `Box<dyn Error>` you simply can't pass it to a method that wants a `impl Error`.
## What does this do?
This stabilizes the following trait impl:
```rust
impl<'a, T: Error + ?Sized + 'static> Error for &'a T;
```
This means that `&dyn Error` will now satisfy a `impl Error` bound.
It doesn't do anything with `Box<dyn Error>` directly. We discussed how we could do `Box<dyn Error>` in the thread here (and elsewhere in the past), but it seems like we need something like lattice-based specialization or a sprinkling of snowflake compiler magic to make that work. Having said that, with this new impl you _can_ now get a `impl Error` from a `Box<dyn Error>` by dereferencing it.
## What breaks?
A crater run revealed a few crates broke with something like the following:
```rust
// where e: &'short &'long dyn Error
err.source()
```
previously we'd auto-deref that `&'short &'long dyn Error` to return a `Option<&'long dyn Error>` from `source`, but now will call directly on `&'short impl Error`, so will return a `Option<&'short dyn Error>`. The fix is to manually deref:
```rust
// where e: &'short &'long dyn Error
(*err).source()
```
In the recent Libs meeting we considered this acceptable breakage.
Remove delay-binding for Win XP and Vista
The minimum supported Windows version is now Windows 7. Windows XP
and Windows Vista are no longer supported; both are already broken, and
require extra steps to use.
This commit removes the delayed-binding support for Windows API
functions that are present on all supported Windows targets. This has
several benefits: Removes needless complexity. Removes a load and
dynamic call on hot paths in mutex acquire / release. This may have
performance benefits.

* "Firefox has ended support for Windows XP and Vista"

Inline methods of Path and OsString
These methods are not generic, and therefore aren't candidates for cross-crate inlining without an `#[inline]` attribute.
