New enough find on Linux doesn't support "-perm +..." and suggests
using "-perm /..." instead, but that doesn't work on Windows.
Hopefully all platforms are happy with this expanded version.
The replacements are functions that usually use a single `mem::transmute` in
their body and restrict input and output via more concrete types than `T` and
`U`. Worth noting are the `transmute` functions for slices and the `from_utf8*`
family for mutable slices. Additionally, `mem::transmute` was often used for
casting raw pointers, when you can already cast raw pointers just fine with
`as`.
The "nth" element can be confusing. In an array context, we know indexes
start from 0 but one may believe this is not the case with "nth". For
example, would `.nth(1)` return the first (1th/1st) or the second
element? Rephrase a bit to be less confusing.
The previous wording was confusing. While would we need to go through
the whole list just to find the first code point? `chars()` being an
iterator, we only need to walk from the beginning of the list.
Keeping integer values and integer references in the "value" columns made the examples quite difficult for me to follow. I've added unicode arrows to references to make them more obvious, without using any characters with actual meaning in the rust language (like `&` or previously `~`).

This commit primarily adds implementations of the algorithms from William
Clinger's paper "How to Read Floating Point Numbers Accurately". It also
includes a lot of infrastructure necessary for those algorithms, and some
unit tests.
Since these algorithms reject a few (extreme) inputs that were previously
accepted, this could be seen as a [breaking-change]
- Exposing digits and individual bits
- Counting the number of bits
- Add small (digit-sized) values
- Multiplication by power of 5
- Division with remainder
All are necessary for decimal to floating point conversions.
All but the most trivial ones come with tests.
This is necessary for decimal-to-float code (in a later commit) to handle
inputs such as 4.9406564584124654e-324 (the smallest subnormal f64).
According to the benchmarks for flt2dec::dragon, this does not
affect performance measurably. It probably uses slightly more stack
space though.
Instead of the actual return type, we're currently passing the function
type to get_extern_fn(). The only reason this doesn't explode is because
get_extern_fn() actually doesn't care about the actual return type, just
about it being converging or not.
Keeping integer values and integer references in the "value" columns made the examples quite difficult for me to follow. I've added unicode arrows to make references more obvious, without using a character with actual meaning in the rust language (like `&` or previously `~`).
Turn nonzeroing move hints back off by default.
Works around bugs injected by PR #26173.
* (@pnkfelix is unavailable in the short-term (i.e. for the next week) to fix them.)
* When the bugs are fixed, we will turn nonzeroing move hints back on by default.
Fix#27401
