Test NLL fix of bad lifetime inference for reference captured in closure.
This came up as a use-case for `thread::scope` API that only compiles successfully since `feature(nll)` got stabilized recently.
Closes#93203 which had been re-opened for tracking this very test case to be added.
Make `std::mem::needs_drop` accept `?Sized`
This change attempts to make `needs_drop` work with types like `[u8]` and `str`.
This enables code in types like `Arc<T>` that was not possible before, such as https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97676.
Entry and_modify doc
This PR modifies the documentation for [HashMap](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.HashMap.html#) and [BTreeMap](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.BTreeMap.html#) by introducing examples for `and_modify`. `and_modify` is a function that tends to give more idiomatic rust code when dealing with these data structures -- yet it lacked examples and was hidden away. This PR adds that and addresses #98122.
I've made some choices which I tried to explain in my commits. This is my first time contributing to rust, so hopefully, I made the right choices.
Inline `const_eval_select`
To avoid circular link time dependency between core and compiler
builtins when building with `-Zshare-generics`.

os str capacity documentation
This is based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95394 , with expansion and consolidation
to address comments from `@dtolnay` and other `@rust-lang/libs-api` team members.
Add a `BorrowedFd::try_clone_to_owned` and accompanying documentation
Add a `BorrowedFd::try_clone_to_owned`, which returns a new `OwnedFd` sharing the underlying file description. And similar for `BorrowedHandle` and `BorrowedSocket` on WIndows.
This is similar to the existing `OwnedFd::try_clone`, but it's named differently to reflect that it doesn't return `Result<Self, ...>`. I'm open to suggestions for better names.
Also, extend the `unix::io` documentation to mention that `dup` is permitted on `BorrowedFd`.
This was originally requsted [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/88564#issuecomment-910786081). At the time I wasn't sure whether it was desirable, but it does have uses and it helps clarify the API. The documentation previously didn't rule out using `dup` on a `BorrowedFd`, but the API only offered convenient ways to do it from an `OwnedFd`. With this patch, the API allows one to do `try_clone` on any type where it's permitted.
The important methods like `read` and `write` were already inlined,
which can propagate all the way to inlining in user code, but these
small state functions were left behind as normal calls. They should
almost always be inlined as well, as they're just a few instructions.
STD support for the Nintendo 3DS
Rustc already supports compiling for the Nintendo 3DS using the `armv6k-nintendo-3ds` target (Tier 3). Until now though, only `core` and `alloc` were supported. This PR adds standard library support for the Nintendo 3DS. A notable exclusion is `std::thread` support, which will come in a follow-up PR as it requires more complicated changes.
This has been a joint effort by `@Meziu,` `@ian-h-chamberlain,` myself, and prior work by `@rust3ds` members.
### Background
The Nintendo 3DS (Horizon OS) is a mostly-UNIX looking system, with the caveat that it does not come with a full libc implementation out of the box. On the homebrew side (I'm not under NDA), the libc interface is partially implemented by the [devkitPro](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/devkitPro_pacman) toolchain and a user library like [`libctru`](https://github.com/devkitPro/libctru). This is important because there are [some possible legal barriers](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/88529#issuecomment-919938396) to linking directly to a library that uses the underlying platform APIs, since they might be considered a trade secret or under NDA.
To get around this, the standard library impl for the 3DS does not directly depend on any platform-level APIs. Instead, it expects standard libc functions to be linked in. The implementation of these libc functions is left to the user. Some functions are provided by the devkitPro toolchain, but in our testing, we used the following to fill in the other functions:
- [`libctru`] - provides more basic APIs, such as `nanosleep`. Linked in by way of [`ctru-sys`](https://github.com/Meziu/ctru-rs/tree/master/ctru-sys).
- [`pthread-3ds`](https://github.com/Meziu/pthread-3ds) - provides pthread APIs for `std::thread`. Implemented using [`libctru`].
- [`linker-fix-3ds`](https://github.com/Meziu/rust-linker-fix-3ds) - fulfills some other missing libc APIs. Implemented using [`libctru`].
For more details, see the `src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/armv6k-nintendo-3ds.md` file added in this PR.
### Notes
We've already upstreamed changes to the [`libc`] crate to support this PR, as well as the upcoming threading PR. These changes have all been released as of 0.2.121, so we bump the crate version in this PR.
Edit: After some rebases, the version bump has already been merged so it doesn't appear in this PR.
A lot of the changes in this PR are straightforward, and follow in the footsteps of the ESP-IDF target: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87666.
The 3DS does not support user space process spawning, so these APIs are unimplemented (similar to ESP-IDF).

Updated the btree's documentation to include two references to
add_modify.
The first is when the `Entry` API is mentioned at the beginning. With
the same reasoning as HashMap's documentation, I thought it would best
to keep `attack`, but show the `mana` example.
The second is with the `entry` function that is used for the `Entry`
API. The code example was a perfect use for `add_modify`, which is why
it was changed to reflect that.
Updated the HashMap's documentation to include two references to
add_modify.
The first is when the `Entry` API is mentioned at the beginning. I was
hesitant to change the "attack" example (although I believe that it is
perfect example of where `add_modify` should be used) because both uses
work equally, but one is more idiomatic (`add_modify`).
The second is with the `entry` function that is used for the `Entry`
API. The code example was a perfect use for `add_modify`, which is why
it was changed to reflect that.
This stabilizes the `Path::try_exists()` method which returns
`Result<bool, io::Error>` instead of `bool` allowing handling of errors
unrelated to the file not existing. (e.g permission errors)
Along with the stabilization it also:
* Warns that the `exists()` method is error-prone and suggests to use
the newly stabilized one.
* Suggests it instead of `metadata()` to handle errors.
* Mentions TOCTOU bugs to avoid false assumption that `try_exists()` is
completely safe fixed version of `exists()`.
* Renames the feature of still-unstable `std::fs::try_exists()` to
`fs_try_exists` to avoid name conflict.
The tracking issue #83186 remains open to track `fs_try_exists`.
Integrate measureme's hardware performance counter support.
*Note: this is a companion to https://github.com/rust-lang/measureme/pull/143, and duplicates some information with it for convenience*

## Summary
This PR adds support to `-Z self-profile` for counting hardware events such as "instructions retired" (as opposed to being limited to time measurements), using the `rdpmc` instruction on `x86_64` Linux.
While other OSes may eventually be supported, preliminary research suggests some kind of kernel extension/driver is required to enable this, whereas on Linux any user can profile (at least) their own threads.
Supporting Linux on architectures other than x86_64 should be much easier (provided the hardware supports such performance counters), and was mostly not done due to a lack of readily available test hardware.
That said, 32-bit `x86` (aka `i686`) would be almost trivial to add and test once we land the initial `x86_64` version (as all the CPU detection code can be reused).
A new flag `-Z self-profile-counter` was added, to control which of the named `measureme` counters is used, and which defaults to `wall-time`, in order to keep `-Z self-profile`'s current functionality unchanged (at least for now).
The named counters so far are:
* `wall-time`: the existing time measurement
* name chosen for consistency with `perf.rust-lang.org`
* continues to use `std::time::Instant` for a nanosecond-precision "monotonic clock"
* `instructions:u`: the hardware performance counter usually referred to as "Instructions retired"
* here "retired" (roughly) means "fully executed"
* the `:u` suffix is from the Linux `perf` tool and indicates the counter only runs while userspace code is executing, and therefore counts no kernel instructions
* *see [Caveats/Subtracting IRQs](https://hackmd.io/sH315lO2RuicY-SEt7ynGA?view#Subtracting-IRQs) for why this isn't entirely true and why `instructions-minus-irqs:u` should be preferred instead*
* `instructions-minus-irqs:u`: same as `instructions:u`, except the count of hardware interrupts ("IRQs" here for brevity) is subtracted
* *see [Caveats/Subtracting IRQs](https://hackmd.io/sH315lO2RuicY-SEt7ynGA?view#Subtracting-IRQs) for why this should be preferred over `instructions:u`*
* `instructions-minus-r0420:u`: experimental counter, same as `instructions-minus-irqs:u` but subtracting an undocumented counter (`r0420:u`) instead of IRQs
* the `rXXXX` notation is again from Linux `perf`, and indicates a "raw" counter, with a hex representation of the low-level counter configuration - this was picked because we still don't *really* know what it is
* this only exists for (future) testing and isn't included/used in any comparisons/data we've put together so far
* *see [Challenges/Zen's undocumented 420 counter](https://hackmd.io/sH315lO2RuicY-SEt7ynGA?view#Epilogue-Zen’s-undocumented-420-counter) for details on how this counter was found and what it does*

* this is also separately found in #77162, and we probably want to avoid doing it by default, ideally we'd use the runtime control API `jemalloc` offers (assuming that can stop the timer that's already running, which I'm not sure about)
* **EDIT**: until we can do this based on `-Z` flags, this commit has also been reverted
* the `proc_macro` change was to avoid randomized hashing and therefore ASLR-like effects

This resolves#85821. See also the discussion here:
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/17128
The consensus seems to be that rust_eh_personality is never invoked.
I patched __gxx_personality_v0 to log invocations and then ran
various panic tests and it was never called, so this analysis matches
what seems to happen in practice. This replaces the definition with
an abort, modeled on the structured exception handling implementation.

Add the Provider api to core::any
This is an implementation of [RFC 3192](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3192) ~~(which is yet to be merged, thus why this is a draft PR)~~. It adds an API for type-driven requests and provision of data from trait objects. A primary use case is for the `Error` trait, though that is not implemented in this PR. The only major difference to the RFC is that the functionality is added to the `any` module, rather than being in a sibling `provide_any` module (as discussed in the RFC thread).
~~Still todo: improve documentation on items, including adding examples.~~
cc `@yaahc`
`Mutex::lock()` and `RwLock::write()` are poison-guarded against panics,
in that they set the poison flag if a panic occurs while they're locked.
But if we're already in a panic (`thread::panicking()`), they leave the
poison flag alone.
That check is a bit of a waste for methods that never set the poison
flag though, namely `get_mut()`, `into_inner()`, and `RwLock::read()`.
These use-cases are now split to avoid that unnecessary call.
This allows to format into an `OsString` without unnecessary
allocations. E.g.
```
let mut temp_filename = path.into_os_string();
write!(&mut temp_filename, ".tmp.{}", process::id());
```
impl Read and Write for VecDeque<u8>
Implementing `Read` and `Write` for `VecDeque<u8>` fills in the VecDeque api surface where `Vec<u8>` and `Cursor<Vec<u8>>` already impl Read and Write. Not only for completeness, but VecDeque in particular is a very handy mock interface for a TCP echo service, if only it supported Read/Write.
Since this PR is just an impl trait, I don't think there is a way to limit it behind a feature flag, so it's "insta-stable". Please correct me if I'm wrong here, not trying to rush stability.
BTreeSet: avoid intermediate sorting when collecting sorted iterators
As [pointed out by droundy](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/question-about-btreeset-implementation/76427), an obvious optimization is to skip the first step introduced by #88448 (creation of a vector and sorting) and it's easy to do so for btree's own iterators. Also, exploit `from` in the examples.
This commit adds a new unstable attribute, `#[doc(tuple_varadic)]`, that
shows a 1-tuple as `(T, ...)` instead of just `(T,)`, and links to a section
in the tuple primitive docs that talks about these.
Suggest using `iter()` or `into_iter()` for `Vec`
We cannot do that for `&Vec` because `#[rustc_on_unimplemented]` is limited (it does not clean generic instantiation for references, only for ADTs).

Use repr(C) when depending on struct layout in ptr tests
The test depends on the layout of this struct `Pair`, so it should use `repr(C)` instead of the default `repr(Rust)`.
In some situations it is possible for required functions to be called before they've had a chance to be loaded. Therefore, we make it possible to recover from this situation simply by looking at error codes.
Add documentation to `std::os::unix::io` describing Rust's stance on
`/proc/self/mem`, treating it as an external entity which is outside
the scope of Rust's safety guarantees.
Remove confusing sentence from `Mutex` docs
The docs were saying something about "statically initializing" the
mutex, and it's not clear what this means. Remove that part to avoid
confusion.
Improve the safety docs for `CStr`
Namely, the two functions `from_ptr` and `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked`.
Before, these functions didn't state the requirements clearly enough,
and I was not immediately able to find them like for other functions.
This doesn't change the content of the docs, but simply rewords them for
clarity.
note: I'm not entirely sure about the '`ptr` must be valid for reads of `u8`.', there might be room for improvement for this (and maybe for the other docs as well 😄)

Remove migrate borrowck mode
Closes#58781Closes#43234
# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(nll)]` and the removal of `-Z borrowck`. Current borrow checking behavior of item bodies is currently done by first infering regions *lexically* and reporting any errors during HIR type checking. If there *are* any errors, then MIR borrowck (NLL) never occurs. If there *aren't* any errors, then MIR borrowck happens and any errors there would be reported. This PR removes the lexical region check of item bodies entirely and only uses MIR borrowck. Because MIR borrowck could never *not* be run for a compiled program, this should not break any programs. It does, however, change diagnostics significantly and allows a slightly larger set of programs to compile.
Tracking issue: #43234
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2094-nll.md
Version: 1.63 (2022-06-30 => beta, 2022-08-11 => stable).
## Motivation
Over time, the Rust borrow checker has become "smarter" and thus allowed more programs to compile. There have been three different implementations: AST borrowck, MIR borrowck, and polonius (well, in progress). Additionally, there is the "lexical region resolver", which (roughly) solves the constraints generated through HIR typeck. It is not a full borrow checker, but does emit some errors.
The AST borrowck was the original implementation of the borrow checker and was part of the initially stabilized Rust 1.0. In mid 2017, work began to implement the current MIR borrow checker and that effort ompleted by the end of 2017, for the most part. During 2018, efforts were made to migrate away from the AST borrow checker to the MIR borrow checker - eventually culminating into "migrate" mode - where HIR typeck with lexical region resolving following by MIR borrow checking - being active by default in the 2018 edition.
In early 2019, migrate mode was turned on by default in the 2015 edition as well, but with MIR borrowck errors emitted as warnings. By late 2019, these warnings were upgraded to full errors. This was followed by the complete removal of the AST borrow checker.
In the period since, various errors emitted by the MIR borrow checker have been improved to the point that they are mostly the same or better than those emitted by the lexical region resolver.
While there do remain some degradations in errors (tracked under the [NLL-diagnostics tag](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-diagnostics), those are sufficiently small and rare enough that increased flexibility of MIR borrow check-only is now a worthwhile tradeoff.
## What is stabilized
As said previously, this does not fundamentally change the landscape of accepted programs. However, there are a [few](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-fixed-by-NLL) cases where programs can compile under `feature(nll)`, but not otherwise.
There are two notable patterns that are "fixed" by this stabilization. First, the `scoped_threads` feature, which is a continutation of a pre-1.0 API, can sometimes emit a [weird lifetime error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95527) without NLL. Second, actually seen in the standard library. In the `Extend` impl for `HashMap`, there is an implied bound of `K: 'a` that is available with NLL on but not without - this is utilized in the impl.
As mentioned before, there are a large number of diagnostic differences. Most of them are better, but some are worse. None are serious or happen often enough to need to block this PR. The biggest change is the loss of error code for a number of lifetime errors in favor of more general "lifetime may not live long enough" error. While this may *seem* bad, the former error codes were just attempts to somewhat-arbitrarily bin together lifetime errors of the same type; however, on paper, they end up being roughly the same with roughly the same kinds of solutions.
## What isn't stabilized
This PR does not completely remove the lexical region resolver. In the future, it may be possible to remove that (while still keeping HIR typeck) or to remove it together with HIR typeck.
## Tests
Many test outputs get updated by this PR. However, there are number of tests specifically geared towards NLL under `src/test/ui/nll`

Add note to documentation of HashSet::intersection
The functionality of the `std::collections::HashSet::intersection(...)` method was slightly surprising to me so I wanted to take a sec to contribute to the documentation for this method.
I've added a `Note:` section if that is appropriate.
use strict provenance APIs
The stdlib was adjusted to avoid bare int2ptr casts, but recently some casts of that sort have sneaked back in. Let's fix that. :)
implement ptr.addr() via transmute
As per the discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/286, the semantics for ptr-to-int transmutes that we are going with for now is to make them strip provenance without exposing it. That's exactly what `ptr.addr()` does! So we can implement `ptr.addr()` via `transmute`. This also means that once https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97684 lands, Miri can distinguish `ptr.addr()` from `ptr.expose_addr()`, and the following code will correctly be called out as having UB (if permissive provenance mode is enabled, which will become the default once the [implementation is complete](https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/2133)):
```rust
fn main() {
let x: i32 = 3;
let x_ptr = &x as *const i32;
let x_usize: usize = x_ptr.addr();
// Cast back an address that did *not* get exposed.
let ptr = std::ptr::from_exposed_addr::<i32>(x_usize);
assert_eq!(unsafe { *ptr }, 3); //~ ERROR Undefined Behavior: dereferencing pointer failed
}
```
This completes the Miri implementation of the new distinctions introduced by strict provenance. :)
Cc `@Gankra` -- for now I left in your `FIXME(strict_provenance_magic)` saying these should be intrinsics, but I do not necessarily agree that they should be. Or if we have an intrinsic, I think it should behave exactly like the `transmute` does, which makes one wonder why the intrinsic should be needed.

Call the OS function to set the main thread's name on program init
Normally, `Thread::spawn` takes care of setting the thread's name, if
one was provided, but since the main thread wasn't created by calling
`Thread::spawn`, we need to call that function in `std::rt::init`.
This is mainly useful for system tools like debuggers and profilers
which might show the thread name to a user. Prior to these changes, gdb
and WinDbg would show all thread names except the main thread's name to
a user. I've validated that this patch resolves the issue for both
debuggers.
Lazily allocate and initialize pthread locks.
Lazily allocate and initialize pthread locks.
This allows {Mutex, Condvar, RwLock}::new() to be const, while still using the platform's native locks for features like priority inheritance and debug tooling. E.g. on macOS, we cannot directly use the (private) APIs that pthread's locks are implemented with, making it impossible for us to use anything other than pthread while still preserving priority inheritance, etc.
This PR doesn't yet make the public APIs const. That's for a separate PR with an FCP.

Avoid zero-sized allocs in ThinBox if T and H are both ZSTs.
This was surprisingly tricky, and took longer to get right than expected. `ThinBox` is a surprisingly subtle piece of code. That said, in the end, a lot of this was due to overthinking[^overthink] -- ultimately the fix ended up fairly clean and simple.
[^overthink]: Honestly, for a while I was convinced this couldn't be done without allocations or runtime branches in these cases, but that's obviously untrue.
Anyway, as a result of spending all that time debugging, I've extended the tests quite a bit, and also added more debug assertions. Many of these helped for subtle bugs I made in the middle (for example, the alloc/drop tracking is because I ended up double-dropping the value in the case where both were ZSTs), they're arguably a bit of overkill at this point, although I imagine they could help in the future too.
Anyway, these tests cover a wide range of size/align cases, nd fully pass under miri[^1]. They also do some smoke-check asserting that the value has the correct alignment, although in practice it's totally within the compiler's rights to delete these assertions since we'd have already done UB if they get hit. They have more boilerplate than they really need, but it's not *too* bad on a per-test basis.
A notable absence from testing is atypical header types, but at the moment it's impossible to manually implement `Pointee`. It would be really nice to have testing here, since it's not 100% obvious to me that the aligned read/write we use for `H` are correct in the face of arbitrary combinations of `size_of::<H>()`, `align_of::<H>()`, and `align_of::<T>()`. (That said, I spent a while thinking through it and am *pretty* sure it's fine -- I'd just feel... better if we could test some cases for non-ZST headers which have unequal and align).
[^1]: Or at least, they pass under miri if I copy the code and tests into a new crate and run miri on it (after making it less stdlibified).

Improve documentation for constructors of pinned `Box`es
Adds a cross-references between `Box::pin` and `Box::into_pin` (and other related methods, i.e. the equivalent `From` implementation, and the unstable `pin_in` method), in particular now that `into_pin` [was stabilized](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97397). The main goal is to further improve visibility of the fact that `Box<T> -> Pin<Box<T>>` conversion exits in the first place, and that `Box::pin(x)` is – essentially – just a convenience function for `Box::into_pin(Box::new(x))`
The motivating context why I think this is important is even experienced Rust users overlooking the existence this kind of conversion, [e.g. in this thread on IRLO](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-function-variants/16732/7?u=steffahn); and also the fact that that discussion brought up that there would be a bunch of Box-construction methods "missing" such as e.g. methods with fallible allocation a la "`Box::try_pin`", and similar; while those are in fact *not* necessary, because you can use `Box::into_pin(Box::try_new(x)?)` instead.
I have *not* included explicit mention of methods (e.g. `try_new`) in the docs of stable methods (e.g. `into_pin`). (Referring to unstable API in stable API docs would be bad style IMO.) Stable examples I have in mind with the statement "constructing a (pinned) Box in a different way than with `Box::new`" are things like cloning a `Box`, or `Box::from_raw`. If/when `try_new` would get stabilized, it would become a very good concrete example use-case of `Box::into_pin` IMO.

Add #[rustc_box] and use it inside alloc
This commit adds an alternative content boxing syntax, and uses it inside alloc.
```Rust
#![feature(box_syntax)]
fn foo() {
let foo = box bar;
}
```
is equivalent to
```Rust
#![feature(rustc_attrs)]
fn foo() {
let foo = #[rustc_box] Box::new(bar);
}
```
The usage inside the very performance relevant code in
liballoc is the only remaining relevant usage of box syntax
in the compiler (outside of tests, which are comparatively easy to port).
box syntax was originally designed to be used by all Rust
developers. This introduces a replacement syntax more tailored
to only being used inside the Rust compiler, and with it,
lays the groundwork for eventually removing box syntax.
[Earlier work](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87781#issuecomment-894714878) by `@nbdd0121` to lower `Box::new` to `box` during THIR -> MIR building ran into borrow checker problems, requiring the lowering to be adjusted in a way that led to [performance regressions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87781#issuecomment-894872367). The proposed change in this PR lowers `#[rustc_box] Box::new` -> `box` in the AST -> HIR lowering step, which is way earlier in the compiler, and thus should cause less issues both performance wise as well as regarding type inference/borrow checking/etc. Hopefully, future work can move the lowering further back in the compiler, as long as there are no performance regressions.

Tweak insert docs
For `{Hash, BTree}Map::insert`, I always have to take a few extra seconds to think about the slight weirdness about the fact that if we "did not" insert (which "sounds" false), we return true, and if we "did" insert, (which "sounds" true), we return false.
This tweaks the doc comments for the `insert` methods of those types (as well as what looks like a rustc internal data structure that I found just by searching the codebase for "If the set did") to first use the "Returns whether _something_" pattern used in e.g. `remove`, where we say that `remove` "returns whether the value was present".
Corrected EBNF grammar for from_str
Hello! This is my first time contributing to an open-source project. I'm excited to have the chance to contribute to the rust community 🥳
I noticed an issue with the documentation for `from_str` in `f32` and `f64`. It states that "All strings that adhere to the following [EBNF](https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-notation) grammar when lowercased will result in an `Ok` being returned. I believe this is incorrect for the string `"."`, which is valid for the given EBNF grammar, but does not result in an `Ok` being returned ([playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=09f891aa87963a56d3b0d715d8cbc2b4)). I have simplified the grammar in a way which fixes that, but is otherwise identical.
Previously, the `Number` part of the EBNF grammar had an option for `'.' Digit*`, which would include the string `"."`. This is not valid, and does not return an Ok as stated. The corrected version removes this, and still allows for the `'.' Digit+` case with the already existing `Digit* '.' Digit+` case.
Expose `get_many_mut` and `get_many_unchecked_mut` to HashMap
This pull-request expose the function [`get_many_mut`](https://docs.rs/hashbrown/0.12.0/hashbrown/struct.HashMap.html#method.get_many_mut) and [`get_many_unchecked_mut`](https://docs.rs/hashbrown/0.12.0/hashbrown/struct.HashMap.html#method.get_many_unchecked_mut) from `hashbrown` to the standard library `HashMap` type. They obviously keep the same API and are added under the (new) `map_many_mut` feature.
- `get_many_mut`: Attempts to get mutable references to `N` values in the map at once.
- `get_many_unchecked_mut`: Attempts to get mutable references to `N` values in the map at once, without validating that the values are unique.

Put a bound on collection misbehavior
As currently written, when a logic error occurs in a collection's trait parameters, this allows *completely arbitrary* misbehavior, so long as it does not cause undefined behavior in std. However, because the extent of misbehavior is not specified, it is allowed for *any* code in std to start misbehaving in arbitrary ways which are not formally UB; consider the theoretical example of a global which gets set on an observed logic error. Because the misbehavior is only bound by not resulting in UB from safe APIs and the crate-level encapsulation boundary of all of std, this makes writing user unsafe code that utilizes std theoretically impossible, as it now relies on undocumented QOI (quality of implementation) that unrelated parts of std cannot be caused to misbehave by a misuse of std::collections APIs.
In practice, this is a nonconcern, because std has reasonable QOI and an implementation that takes advantage of this freedom is essentially a malicious implementation and only compliant by the most langauage-lawyer reading of the documentation.
To close this hole, we just add a small clause to the existing logic error paragraph that ensures that any misbehavior is limited to the collection which observed the logic error, making it more plausible to prove the soundness of user unsafe code.
This is not meant to be formal; a formal refinement would likely need to mention that values derived from the collection can also misbehave after a logic error is observed, as well as define what it means to "observe" a logic error in the first place. This fix errs on the side of informality in order to close the hole without complicating a normal reading which can assume a reasonable nonmalicious QOI.

This technically adds a new guarantee to the documentation, though I argue as written it's one already implicitly provided.
Clarify the guarantees of Vec::as_ptr and Vec::as_mut_ptr when there's no allocation
Currently the documentation says they return a pointer to the vector's buffer, which has the implied precondition that the vector allocated some memory. However `Vec`'s documentation also specifies that it won't always allocate, so it's unclear whether the pointer returned is valid in that case. Of course you won't be able to read/write actual bytes to/from it since the capacity is 0, but there's an exception: zero sized read/writes. They are still valid as long as the pointer is not null and the memory it points to wasn't deallocated, but `Vec::as_ptr` and `Vec::as_mut_ptr` don't specify that's not the case. This PR thus specifies they are actually valid for zero sized reads since `Vec` is implemented to hold a dangling pointer in those cases, which is neither null nor was deallocated.

Add doc alias `memset` to `write_bytes`
I were looking for `memset` in rust, but the docs only pointed me to `slice::fill`.

``` Rust
core::slice::from_raw_parts(ptr, len).fill(0)
```
Document the current aliasing rules for `Box<T>`.
Currently, `Box<T>` gets `noalias`, meaning it has the same rules as `&mut T`. This is sparsely documented, even though it can have quite a big impact on unsafe code using box. Therefore, these rules are documented here, with a big warning that they are not normative and subject to change, since we have not yet committed to an aliasing model and the state of `Box<T>` is especially uncertain.
If you have any suggestions and improvements, make sure to leave them here. This is mostly intended to inform people about what is currently going on (to prevent misunderstandings such as [Jon Gjengset's Box aliasing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY7Wi9fV5bk)).
This is supposed to _only document current UB_ and not add any new guarantees or rules.

improve format impl for literals
The basic idea of this change can be seen here https://godbolt.org/z/MT37cWoe1.
Updates the format impl to have a fast path for string literals and the default path for regular format args.
This change will allow `format!("string literal")` to be used interchangably with `"string literal".to_owned()`.
This would be relevant in the case of `f!"string literal"` being legal (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3267) in which case it would be the easiest way to create owned strings from literals, while also being just as efficient as any other impl

proc_macro: don't pass a client-side function pointer through the server.
Before this PR, `proc_macro::bridge::Client<F>` contained both:
* the C ABI entry-point `run`, that the server can call to start the client
* some "payload" `f: F` passed to that entry-point
* in practice, this was always a (client-side Rust ABI) `fn` pointer to the actual function the proc macro author wrote, i.e. `#[proc_macro] fn foo(input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream`
In other words, the client was passing one of its (Rust) `fn` pointers to the server, which was passing it back to the client, for the client to call (see later below for why that was ever needed).
I was inspired by `@nnethercote's` attempt to remove the `get_handle_counters` field from `Client` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97004#issuecomment-1139273301), which combined with removing the `f` ("payload") field, could theoretically allow for a `#[repr(transparent)]` `Client` that mostly just newtypes the C ABI entry-point `fn` pointer <sub>(and in the context of e.g. wasm isolation, that's *all* you want, since you can reason about it from outside the wasm VM, as just a 32-bit "function table index", that you can pass to the wasm VM to call that function)</sub>.
<hr/>
So this PR removes that "payload". But it's not a simple refactor: the reason the field existed in the first place is because monomorphizing over a function type doesn't let you call the function without having a value of that type, because function types don't implement anything like `Default`, i.e.:
```rust
extern "C" fn ffi_wrapper<A, R, F: Fn(A) -> R>(arg: A) -> R {
let f: F = ???; // no way to get a value of `F`
f(arg)
}
```
That could be solved with something like this, if it was allowed:
```rust
extern "C" fn ffi_wrapper<
A, R,
F: Fn(A) -> R,
const f: F // not allowed because the type is a generic param
>(arg: A) -> R {
f(arg)
}
```
Instead, this PR contains a workaround in `proc_macro::bridge::selfless_reify` (see its module-level comment for more details) that can provide something similar to the `ffi_wrapper` example above, but limited to `F` being `Copy` and ZST (and requiring an `F` value to prove the caller actually can create values of `F` and it's not uninhabited or some other unsound situation).

Hopefully this time we don't have a performance regression, and this has a chance to land.

/// The caller must ensure that `ptr`:
/// 1. does not point to memory that was previously allocated but is now deallocated;
/// 2. is within the bounds of a single allocated object;
/// 3. does not to point to a slice for which the length exceeds `isize::MAX` bytes;
/// 4. points to a properly aligned address;
/// 5. does not point to uninitialized memory;
/// 6. does not point to a mutably borrowed memory location.
pub unsafe fn ptr_len<T>(ptr: core::ptr::NonNull<[T]>) -> usize {
(&*ptr.as_ptr()).len()
}
```
A slightly less complicated version (but still more complicated than it needs to be):
```rust
/// # Safety
/// The caller must ensure that the start of `ptr`:
/// 1. does not point to memory that was previously allocated but is now deallocated;
/// 2. must be within the bounds of a single allocated object.
pub unsafe fn ptr_len<T>(ptr: NonNull<[T]>) -> usize {
(&*(ptr.as_ptr() as *const [()])).len()
}
```
This PR does not stabilize `<*const [T]>::len` and `<*mut [T]>::len` because the tracking issue #71146 list a potential blocker for these methods, but this blocker [does not apply](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/71146#issuecomment-808735714) to `NonNull::len`.
We should probably also ping the [Constant Evaluation WG](https://github.com/rust-lang/const-eval) since this PR includes a `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(const_slice_ptr_len)]`. My instinct here is that this will probably be okay because the pointer is not actually dereferenced and `len()` does not touch the address component of the pointer, but would be best to double check :)
One potential down-side was raised that stabilizing `NonNull::len` could lead to encouragement of coding patterns like:
```
pub fn ptr_len<T>(ptr: *mut [T]) -> usize {
NonNull::new(ptr).unwrap().len()
}
```
which unnecessarily assert non-nullness. However, these are much less of a footgun than the above examples and this should be resolved when `slice_ptr_len` fully stabilizes eventually.
Remove impossible panic note from `Vec::append`
Neither the number of elements in a vector can overflow a `usize`, nor
can the amount of elements in two vectors.
Normally, `Thread::spawn` takes care of setting the thread's name, if
one was provided, but since the main thread wasn't created by calling
`Thread::spawn`, we need to call that function in `std::rt::init`.
This is mainly useful for system tools like debuggers and profilers
which might show the thread name to a user. Prior to these changes, gdb
and WinDbg would show all thread names except the main thread's name to
a user. I've validated that this patch resolves the issue for both
debuggers.
It looks like the last time had left some remaining cfg's -- which made me think
that the stage0 bump was actually successful. This brings us to a released 1.62
beta though.
Currently, `Box<T>` gets `noalias`, meaning it has
the same rules as `&mut T`. This is
sparsely documented, even though it can have quite
a big impact on unsafe code using box. Therefore,
these rules are documented here, with a big warning
that they are not normative and subject to change,
since we have not yet committed to an aliasing model
and the state of `Box<T>` is especially uncertain.
Add section on common message styles for Result::expect
Based on a question from https://github.com/rust-lang/project-error-handling/issues/50#issuecomment-1092339937
~~One thing I haven't decided on yet, should I duplicate this section on `Option::expect`, link to this section, or move it somewhere else and link to that location from both docs?~~: I ended up moving the section to `std::error` and referencing it from both `Result::expect` and `Option::expect`'s docs.
I think this section, when combined with the similar update I made on [`std::panic!`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/macro.panic.html#when-to-use-panic-vs-result) implies that we should possibly more aggressively encourage and support the "expect as precondition" style described in this section. The consensus among the libs team seems to be that panic should be used for bugs, not expected potential failure modes. The "expect as error message" style seems to align better with the panic for unrecoverable errors style where they're seen as normal errors where the only difference is a desire to kill the current execution unit (aka erlang style error handling). I'm wondering if we should be providing a panic hook similar to `human-panic` or more strongly recommending the "expect as precondition" style of expect message.
improve case conversion happy path
Someone shared the source code for [Go's string case conversion](19156a5474/src/strings/strings.go (L558-L616)).
It features a hot path for ascii-only strings (although I assume for reasons specific to go, they've opted for a read safe hot loop).
I've borrowed these ideas and also kept our existing code to provide a fast path + seamless utf-8 correct path fallback.
(Naive) Benchmarks can be found here https://github.com/conradludgate/case-conv
For the cases where non-ascii is found near the start, the performance of this algorithm does fall back to original speeds and has not had any measurable speed loss
