ExitStatus: print "exit status: {}" rather than "exit code: {}" on unix
Proper Unix terminology is "exit status" (vs "wait status"). "exit
code" is imprecise on Unix and therefore unclear. (As far as I can
tell, "exit code" is correct terminology on Windows.)
This new wording is unfortunately inconsistent with the identifier
names in the Rust stdlib.
It is the identifier names that are wrong, as discussed at length in eg
https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/process/struct.ExitStatus.htmlhttps://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/os/unix/process/trait.ExitStatusExt.html
Unfortunately for API stability reasons it would be a lot of work, and
a lot of disruption, to change the names in the stdlib (eg to rename
`std::process::ExitStatus` to `std::process::ChildStatus` or
something), but we should fix the message output. Many (probably
most) readers of these messages about exit statuses will be users and
system administrators, not programmers, who won't even know that Rust
has this wrong terminology.
So I think the right thing is to fix the documentation (as I have
already done) and, now, the terminology in the implementation.
This is a user-visible change to the behaviour of all Rust programs
which run Unix subprocesses. Hopefully no-one is matching against the
exit status string, except perhaps in tests.
Add IEEE 754 compliant fmt/parse of -0, infinity, NaN
This pull request improves the Rust float formatting/parsing libraries to comply with IEEE 754's formatting expectations around certain special values, namely signed zero, the infinities, and NaN. It also adds IEEE 754 compliance tests that, while less stringent in certain places than many of the existing flt2dec/dec2flt capability tests, are intended to serve as the beginning of a roadmap to future compliance with the standard. Some relevant documentation is also adjusted with clarifying remarks.
This PR follows from discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1074, and closes#24623.
The most controversial change here is likely to be that -0 is now printed as -0. Allow me to explain: While there appears to be community support for an opt-in toggle of printing floats as if they exist in the naively expected domain of numbers, i.e. not the extended reals (where floats live), IEEE 754-2019 is clear that a float converted to a string should be capable of being transformed into the original floating point bit-pattern when it satisfies certain conditions (namely, when it is an actual numeric value i.e. not a NaN and the original and destination float width are the same). -0 is given special attention here as a value that should have its sign preserved. In addition, the vast majority of other programming languages not only output `-0` but output `-0.0` here.
While IEEE 754 offers a broad leeway in how to handle producing what it calls a "decimal character sequence", it is clear that the operations a language provides should be capable of round tripping, and it is confusing to advertise the f32 and f64 types as binary32 and binary64 yet have the most basic way of producing a string and then reading it back into a floating point number be non-conformant with the standard. Further, existing documentation suggested that e.g. -0 would be printed with -0 regardless of the presence of the `+` fmt character, but it prints "+0" instead if given such (which was what led to the opening of #24623).
There are other parsing and formatting issues for floating point numbers which prevent Rust from complying with the standard, as well as other well-documented challenges on the arithmetic level, but I hope that this can be the beginning of motion towards solving those challenges.
Document that the SocketAddr memory representation is not stable
Intended to help out with #78802. Work has been put into finding and fixing code that assumes the memory layout of `SocketAddrV4` and `SocketAddrV6`. But it turns out there are cases where new code continues to make the same assumption ([example](96927dc2b7 (diff-917db3d8ca6f862ebf42726b23c72a12b35e584e497ebdb24e474348d7c6ffb6R610-R621))).
The memory layout of a type in `std` is never part of the public API. Unless explicitly stated I guess. But since that is invalidly relied upon by a considerable amount of code for these particular types, it might make sense to explicitly document this. This can be temporary. Once #78802 lands it does not make sense to rely on the layout any longer, and this documentation can also be removed.
Proper Unix terminology is "exit status" (vs "wait status"). "exit
code" is imprecise on Unix and therefore unclear. (As far as I can
tell, "exit code" is correct terminology on Windows.)

Add internal io::Error::new_const to avoid allocations.
This makes it possible to have a io::Error containing a message with zero allocations, and uses that everywhere to avoid the *three* allocations involved in `io::Error::new(kind, "message")`.
The function signature isn't perfect, because it needs a reference to the `&str`. So for now, this is just a `pub(crate)` function. Later, we'll be able to use `fn new_const<MSG: &'static str>(kind: ErrorKind)` to make that a bit better. (Then we'll also be able to use some ZST trickery if that would result in more efficient code.)
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83352
"semantic equivalence" is too strong a phrasing here, which is why
actually explaining what kind of circumstances might produce a -0
was chosen instead.
Move `std::sys::unix::platform` to `std::sys::unix::ext`
This moves the operating system dependent alias `platform` (`std::os::{linux, android, ...}`) from `std::sys::unix` to `std::sys::unix::ext` (a.k.a. `std::os::unix`), removing the need for compatibility code in `unix_ext` when documenting on another platform.
This is also a step in making it possible to properly move `std::sys::unix::ext` to `std::os::unix`, as ideally `std::sys` should not depend on the rest of `std`.
Deprecate std::os::haiku::raw, which accidentally wasn't deprecated
In early 2016, all `std::os::*::raw` modules [were deprecated](aa23c98450) in accordance with [RFC 1415](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1415-trim-std-os.md). However, at this same time support for Haiku was being added to libstd, landing shortly after the aforementioned commit, and due to some crossed wires a `std::os::haiku::raw` module was added and was not marked as deprecated.
I have been in correspondence with the author of the Haiku patch, ````@nielx,```` who has confirmed that this was simply an oversight and that the definitions from the libc crate should be preferred instead.
Clarify docs for Read::read's return value
Right now the docs for `Read::read`'s return value are phrased in a way that makes it easy for the reader to assume that the return value is never larger than the passed buffer. This PR clarifies that this is a requirement for implementations of the trait, but that callers have to expect a buggy yet safe implementation failing to do so, especially if unchecked accesses to the buffer are done afterwards.
I fell into this trap recently, and when I noticed, I looked at the docs again and had the feeling that I might not have been the first one to miss this.
The same issue of trusting the return value of `read` was also present in std itself for about 2.5 years and only fixed recently, see #80895.
I hope that clarifying the docs might help others to avoid this issue.
Reuse `std::sys::unsupported::pipe` on `hermit`
Pipes are not supported on `hermit` and `hermit/pipe.rs` is identical to `unsupported/pipe.rs`. This PR reduces duplication between the two by doing the following on `hermit`:
```rust
#[path = "../unsupported/pipe.rs"]
pub mod pipe;
```
Add more links between hash and btree collections
- Link from `core::hash` to `HashMap` and `HashSet`
- Link from HashMap and HashSet to the module-level documentation on
when to use the collection
- Link from several collections to Wikipedia articles on the general
concept

Deprecate `intrinsics::drop_in_place` and `collections::Bound`, which accidentally weren't deprecated
Fixes#82080.
I've taken the liberty of updating the `since` values to 1.52, since an unobservable deprecation isn't much of a deprecation (even the detailed release notes never bothered to mention these deprecations).
As mentioned in the issue I'm *pretty* sure that using a type alias for `Bound` is semantically equivalent to the re-export; [the reference implies](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/type-aliases.html) that type aliases only observably differ from types when used on unit structs or tuple structs, whereas `Bound` is an enum.
Deprecate RustcEncodable and RustcDecodable.
We can't remove the `RustcEncodable` and `RustcDecodable` derive macros from the prelude, but we can deprecate them.
Added `try_exists()` method to `std::path::Path`
This method is similar to the existing `exists()` method, except it
doesn't silently ignore the errors, leading to less error-prone code.
This change intentionally does NOT touch the documentation of `exists()`
nor recommend people to use this method while it's unstable.
Such changes are reserved for stabilization to prevent confusing people.
Apart from that it avoids conflicts with #80979.
