rustdoc: remove redundant CSS `#source-sidebar, #sidebar-toggle`
These two elements are always nested below `<nav class="sidebar">`, and will inherit the font from their parent.
These selectors were added in 93520d2ad1, and became redundant in 07e3f998b1 when the source sidebar elements became nested below `nav.sidebar`.
Avoid `Iterator::last`
Adapters like `Filter` and `Map` use the default implementation of `Iterator::last` which is not short-circuiting (and so does `core::str::Split`). The predicate function will be run for every single item of the underlying iterator. I hope that removing those calls to `last` results in slight performance improvements.

# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(generic_associated_types)]`. While there a number of future additions to be made and bugs to be fixed (both discussed below), properly doing these will require significant language design and will ultimately likely be backwards-compatible. Given the overwhelming desire to have some form of generic associated types (GATs) available on stable and the stability of the "simple" uses, stabilizing the current subset of GAT features is almost certainly the correct next step.
Tracking issue: #44265
Initiative: https://rust-lang.github.io/generic-associated-types-initiative/
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1598-generic_associated_types.md
Version: 1.65 (2022-08-22 => beta, 2022-11-03 => stable).
## Motivation
There are a myriad of potential use cases for GATs. Stabilization unblocks probable future language features (e.g. async functions in traits), potential future standard library features (e.g. a `LendingIterator` or some form of `Iterator` with a lifetime generic), and a plethora of user use cases (some of which can be seen just by scrolling through the tracking issue and looking at all the issues linking to it).
There are a myriad of potential use cases for GATs. First, there are many users that have chosen to not use GATs primarily because they are not stable (some of which can be seen just by scrolling through the tracking issue and looking at all the issues linking to it). Second, while language feature desugaring isn't *blocked* on stabilization, it gives more confidence on using the feature. Likewise, library features like `LendingIterator` are not necessarily blocked on stabilization to be implemented unstably; however few, if any, public-facing APIs actually use unstable features.
This feature has a long history of design, discussion, and developement - the RFC was first introduced roughly 6 years ago. While there are still a number of features left to implement and bugs left to fix, it's clear that it's unlikely those will have backwards-incompatibility concerns. Additionally, the bugs that do exist do not strongly impede the most-common use cases.
## What is stabilized
The primary language feature stabilized here is the ability to have generics on associated types, as so. Additionally, where clauses on associated types will now be accepted, regardless if the associated type is generic or not.
```rust
trait ATraitWithGATs {
type Assoc<'a, T> where T: 'a;
}
trait ATraitWithoutGATs<'a, T> {
type Assoc where T: 'a;
}
```
When adding an impl for a trait with generic associated types, the generics for the associated type are copied as well. Note that where clauses are allowed both after the specified type and before the equals sign; however, the latter is a warn-by-default deprecation.
```rust
struct X;
struct Y;
impl ATraitWithGATs for X {
type Assoc<'a, T> = &'a T
where T: 'a;
}
impl ATraitWithGATs for Y {
type Assoc<'a, T>
where T: 'a
= &'a T;
}
```
To use a GAT in a function, generics are specified on the associated type, as if it was a struct or enum. GATs can also be specified in trait bounds:
```rust
fn accepts_gat<'a, T>(t: &'a T) -> T::Assoc<'a, T>
where for<'x> T: ATraitWithGATs<Assoc<'a, T> = &'a T> {
...
}
```
GATs can also appear in trait methods. However, depending on how they are used, they may confer where clauses on the associated type definition. More information can be found [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87479). Briefly, where clauses are required when those bounds can be proven in the methods that *construct* the GAT or other associated types that use the GAT in the trait. This allows impls to have maximum flexibility in the types defined for the associated type.
To take a relatively simple example:
```rust
trait Iterable {
type Item<'a>;
type Iterator<'a>: Iterator<Item = Self::Item<'a>>;
fn iter<'x>(&'x self) -> Self::Iterator<'x>;
//^ We know that `Self: 'a` for `Iterator<'a>`, so we require that bound on `Iterator`
// `Iterator` uses `Self::Item`, so we also require a `Self: 'a` on `Item` too
}
```
A couple well-explained examples are available in a previous [blog post](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/08/03/GATs-stabilization-push.html).
## What isn't stabilized/implemented
### Universal type/const quantification
Currently, you can write a bound like `X: for<'a> Trait<Assoc<'a> = &'a ()>`. However, you cannot currently write `for<T> X: Trait<Assoc<T> = T>` or `for<const N> X: Trait<Assoc<N> = [usize; N]>`.
Here is an example where this is needed:
```rust
trait Foo {}
trait Trait {
type Assoc<F: Foo>;
}
trait Trait2: Sized {
fn foo<F: Foo, T: Trait<Assoc<F> = F>>(_t: T);
}
```
In the above example, the *caller* must specify `F`, which is likely not what is desired.
### Object-safe GATs
Unlike non-generic associated types, traits with GATs are not currently object-safe. In other words the following are not allowed:
```rust
trait Trait {
type Assoc<'a>;
}
fn foo(t: &dyn for<'a> Trait<Assoc<'a> = &'a ()>) {}
//^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not allowed
let ty: Box<dyn for<'a> Trait<Assoc<'a> = &'a ()>>;
//^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not allowed
```
### Higher-kinded types
You cannot write currently (and there are no current plans to implement this):
```rust
struct Struct<'a> {}
fn foo(s: for<'a> Struct<'a>) {}
```

## Remaining bugs and open issues
A full list of remaining open issues can be found at: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels/F-generic_associated_types
There are some `known-bug` tests in-tree at `src/test/ui/generic-associated-types/bugs`.
Here I'll categorize most of those that GAT bugs (or involve a pattern found more with GATs), but not those that include GATs but not a GAT issue in and of itself. (I also won't include issues directly for things listed elsewhere here.)
Using the concrete type of a GAT instead of the projection type can give errors, since lifetimes are chosen to be early-bound vs late-bound.
- #85533
- #87803
In certain cases, we can run into cycle or overflow errors. This is more generally a problem with associated types.
- #87755
- #87758
Bounds on an associatd type need to be proven by an impl, but where clauses need to be proven by the usage. This can lead to confusion when users write one when they mean the other.
- #87831
- #90573
We sometimes can't normalize closure signatures fully. Really an asociated types issue, but might happen a bit more frequently with GATs, since more obvious place for HRTB lifetimes.
- #88382
When calling a function, we assign types to parameters "too late", after we already try (and fail) to normalize projections. Another associated types issue that might pop up more with GATs.
- #88460
- #96230
We don't fully have implied bounds for lifetimes appearing in GAT trait paths, which can lead to unconstrained type errors.
- #88526
Suggestion for adding lifetime bounds can suggest unhelpful fixes (`T: 'a` instead of `Self: 'a`), but the next compiler error after making the suggested change is helpful.
- #90816
- #92096
- #95268
We can end up requiring that `for<'a> I: 'a` when we really want `for<'a where I: 'a> I: 'a`. This can leave unhelpful errors than effectively can't be satisfied unless `I: 'static`. Requires bigger changes and not only GATs.
- #91693
Unlike with non-generic associated types, we don't eagerly normalize with param env candidates. This is intended behavior (for now), to avoid accidentaly stabilizing picking arbitrary impls.
- #91762
Some Iterator adapter patterns (namely `filter`) require Polonius or unsafe to work.
- #92985
## Potential Future work
### Universal type/const quantification
No work has been done to implement this. There are also some questions around implied bounds.
### Object-safe GATs
The intention is to make traits with GATs object-safe. There are some design work to be done around well-formedness rules and general implementation.
### GATified std lib types
It would be helpful to either introduce new std lib traits (like `LendingIterator`) or to modify existing ones (adding a `'a` generic to `Iterator::Item`). There also a number of other candidates, like `Index`/`IndexMut` and `Fn`/`FnMut`/`FnOnce`.
### Reduce the need for `for<'a>`
Seen [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1598#issuecomment-2611378730). One possible syntax:
```rust
trait Iterable {
type Iter<'a>: Iterator<Item = Self::Item<'a>>;
}
fn foo<T>() where T: Iterable, T::Item<let 'a>: Display { } //note the `let`!
```
### Better implied bounds on higher-ranked things
Currently if we have a `type Item<'a> where self: 'a`, and a `for<'a> T: Iterator<Item<'a> = &'a ()`, this requires `for<'a> Self: 'a`. Really, we want `for<'a where T: 'a> ...`
There was some mentions of this all the back in the RFC thread [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1598#issuecomment-264340514).
## Alternatives
### Make generics on associated type in bounds a binder
Imagine the bound `for<'a> T: Trait<Item<'a>= &'a ()>`. It might be that `for<'a>` is "too large" and it should instead be `T: Trait<for<'a> Item<'a>= &'a ()>`. Brought up in RFC thread [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1598#issuecomment-229443863) and in a few places since.
Another related question: Is `for<'a>` the right syntax? Maybe `where<'a>`? Also originally found in RFC thread [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1598#issuecomment-261639969).
### Stabilize lifetime GATs first
This has been brought up a few times. The idea is to only allow GATs with lifetime parameters to in initial stabilization. This was probably most useful prior to actual implementation. At this point, lifetimes, types, and consts are all implemented and work. It feels like an arbitrary split without strong reason.

Use `DisplayBuffer` for socket addresses.
Continuation of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100625 for socket addresses.
Renames `net::addr` to `net::addr::socket`, `net::ip` to `net::addr::ip` and `net::ip::display_buffer::IpDisplayBuffer` to `net::addr::display_buffer::DisplayBuffer`.
These two elements are always nested below `<nav class="sidebar">`, and will
inherit the font from their parent.
These selectors were added in 93520d2ad1, and
became redundant in 07e3f998b1 when the source
sidebar elements became nested below `nav.sidebar`.
change rlib format to distinguish native dependencies
Another one method to solve problem mentioned in #99429.
Changed .rlib format, it contains all bundled native libraries as archieves.
At link time rlib is unpacked and native dependencies linked separately.
New behavior hidden under separate_native_rlib_dependencies flag.
ssa: implement `#[collapse_debuginfo]`
cc #39153rust-lang/compiler-team#386
Debuginfo line information for macro invocations are collapsed by default - line information are replaced by the line of the outermost expansion site. Using `-Zdebug-macros` disables this behaviour.
When the `collapse_debuginfo` feature is enabled, the default behaviour is reversed so that debuginfo is not collapsed by default. In addition, the `#[collapse_debuginfo]` attribute is available and can be applied to macro definitions which will then have their line information collapsed.
r? rust-lang/wg-debugging
Feature gate the `rustdoc::missing_doc_code_examples` lint
Moves the lint from being implicitly active on nightly `rustdoc` to requiring a feature to activate, like other unstable lints.
Uses the new tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/101730
rustdoc: improve rustdoc HTML suggestions handling of nested generics
Based on some poor suggestions produced when stablizing this lint and running it on `manformed-generics.rs` in #101720
rustdoc: remove no-op `#search`
The margin rule was added in c729e4dca7 to remove an unnecessary left margin that was present on desktop. This desktop-mode margin was itself removed in 135281ed15.
The padding rule was added in 135281ed15 when converting the rule for `#main`, but didn't do anything even then.
Update browser UI test 0 10
The biggest change from this browser-ui-test update is the upgrade of the puppeteer version to `17.1.3` (the latest in short).
I also added the command `click-with-offset` to still allow us to click on the `[-]` part.
cc `@jsha`
r? `@notriddle`
Check that the types in return position `impl Trait` in traits are well-formed
This effectively duplicates `check_associated_type_bounds`, but that shouldn't be for long, since we're going to remove it once we refactor RPITITs into regular associated items.
Fixes#101663
---
We don't check
```rust
trait Foo {
fn bar() -> impl ?Sized;
}
```
currently, but that's for a different reason, which is that we don't currently check that a trait function's return type is sized (i.e. `fn bar() -> [u8]` also works in a trait).
Fix naming format of IEEE 754 standard
Currently the documentation of f64::min refers to "IEEE-754 2008" while the documentation of f64::minimum refers to "IEEE 754-2019".
Note that one has the format IEEE,hyphen,number,space,year while the other is IEEE,space,number,hyphen,year. The official IEEE site [1] uses the later format and it is also the one most commonly used throughout the codebase.
Update all comments and - more importantly - documentation to consistently use the official format.
