Add `io::Error::other`
This PR adds a small utility constructor, `io::Error::other`, a shorthand for `io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::Other, err)`, something I find myself writing often.
For some concrete stats, a quick search on [grep.app](https://grep.app) shows that more than half of the uses of `io::Error::new` use `ErrorKind::Other`:
```
Error::new\((?:std::)?(?:io::)?ErrorKind:: => 3,898 results
Error::new\((?:std::)?(?:io::)?ErrorKind::Other => 2,186 results
```
Most of these problems originate in use of get_unchecked_mut.
When calling ptr::copy_nonoverlapping, using get_unchecked_mut for both
arguments causes the borrow created to make the second pointer to invalid the
first.
The pairs of identical MaybeUninit::slice_as_mut_ptr calls similarly
invalidate each other.
There was also a similar borrow invalidation problem with the use of
slice::get_unchecked_mut to derive the pointer for the CopyOnDrop.
link to pref_align_of tracking issue
If we are not going to remove this intrinsic (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90877), I think we should at least have a place to centralize discussion around it, so here we go. Intrinsics don't have their own separate features and usually we instead use the public method for tracking it, but this one does not have such a method... so the tracking issue is just a regular link. (And then we sue it for the const part as well.)

This was mostly straightforward. In several places, I take advantage
of the fact that lifetimes are non-hygenic: a macro declares the
'tcx' lifetime, which is then used in types passed in as macro
arguments.
extend `simplify_type`
might cause a slight perf inprovement and imo more accurately represents what types there are.
considering that I was going to use this in #85048 it seems like we might need this in the future anyways 🤷
Add `unnecessary_to_owned` lint
This PR adds a lint to check for unnecessary calls to `ToOwned::to_owned` and other similar functions (e.g., `Cow::into_owned`, `ToString::to_string`, etc.).
The lint checks for expressions of the form `&receiver.to_owned_like()` used in a position requiring type `&T` where one of the following is true:
* `receiver`'s type is `T` exactly
* `receiver`'s type implements `Deref<Target = T>`
* `receiver`'s type implements `AsRef<T>`
The lint additionally checks for expressions of the form `receiver.to_owned_like()` used as arguments of type `impl AsRef<T>`.
It would be nice if the lint could also check for expressions used as arguments to functions like the following:
```
fn foo<T: AsRef<str>>(x: T) { ... }
```
However, I couldn't figure out how to determine whether a function input type was instantiated from a parameter with a trait bound.
If someone could offer me some guidance, I would be happy to add such functionality.
Closes#7933
changelog: Add [`unnecessary_to_owned`] lint
Constify `bool::then{,_some}`
Note on `~const Drop`: it has no effect when called from runtime functions, when called from const contexts, the trait system ensures that the type can be dropped in const contexts.
Make `TyS::is_suggestable` check for non-suggestable types structually
Not sure if I went overboard checking substs in dyn types, etc. Let me know if I should simplify this function.
Fixes#91832
Remove `in_band_lifetimes` from `rustc_codegen_ssa`
See #91867 for more information.
In `compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/coverageinfo/map.rs`, there are several functions with an explicit `'a` lifetime but only a single `&'a self` parameter. These lifetimes should be redundant given lifetime elision, unless the existential `impl Iterator` has weird issues regarding that. Should the redundant lifetimes be removed?
Removed `in_band_lifetimes` from `library\proc_macro`
Issue [#91867](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/91867)
This is my first try, I followed the instructions given. Fixed all the errors that were thrown while compiling.
Compiled with stage 0,1, and 2 all of them compiled successfully.
Handle unordered const/ty generics for object lifetime defaults
