Don't derive Debug for `OnceWith` & `RepeatWith`
Closures don't impl Debug, so the derived impl is kinda useless. The behavior of not debug-printing closures is consistent with the rest of the iterator adapters/sources.

default OOM handler: use non-unwinding panic, to match std handler
The OOM handler in std will by default abort. This adjusts the default in liballoc to do the same, using the `can_unwind` flag on the panic info to indicate a non-unwinding panic.
In practice this probably makes little difference since the liballoc default will only come into play in no-std situations where people write a custom panic handler, which most likely will not implement unwinding. But still, this seems more consistent.

`Split*::as_str` refactor
I've made this patch almost a year ago, so the rename and the behavior change are in one commit, sorry 😅
This fixes#84974, as it's required to make other changes work.
This PR
- Renames `as_str` method of string `Split*` iterators to `remainder` (it seems like the `as_str` name was confusing to users)
- Makes `remainder` return `Option<&str>`, to distinguish between "the iterator is exhausted" and "the tail is empty", this was [required on the tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77998#issuecomment-832696619)

Revert "Implement allow-by-default `multiple_supertrait_upcastable` lint"
This is a clean revert of #105484.
I confirmed that reverting that PR fixes the regression reported in #106247. ~~I can't say I understand what this code is doing, but maybe it can be re-landed with a different implementation.~~ **Edit:** https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106247#issuecomment-1367174384 has an explanation of why #105484 ends up surfacing spurious `where_clause_object_safety` errors. The implementation of `where_clause_object_safety` assumes we only check whether a trait is object safe when somebody actually uses that trait with `dyn`. However the implementation of `multiple_supertrait_upcastable` added in the problematic PR involves checking *every* trait for whether it is object-safe.

doc: clearer and more correct Iterator::scan
The `Iterator::scan` documentation seemed a little misleading to my newcomer
eyes, and this tries to address that.
* I found “similar to `fold`” unhelpful because (a) the similarity is only that
they maintain state between iterations, and (b) the _dissimilarity_ is no less
important: one returns a final value and the other an iterator. So this
replaces that with “which, like `fold`, holds internal state, but unlike
`fold`, produces a new iterator.
* I found “the return value from the closure, an `Option`, is yielded by the
iterator” to be downright incorrect, because “yielded by the iterator” means
“returned by the `next` method wrapped in `Some`”, so this implied that `scan`
would convert an input iterator of `T` to an output iterator of `Option<T>`.
So this replaces “yielded by the iterator” with “returned by the `next`
method” and elaborates: “Thus the closure can return `Some(value)` to yield
`value`, or `None` to end the iteration.”
* This also changes the example to illustrate the latter point by returning
`None` to terminate the iteration early based on `state`.

More inference-friendly API for lazy
The signature for new was
```
fn new<F>(f: F) -> Lazy<T, F>
```
Notably, with `F` unconstrained, `T` can be literally anything, and just `let _ = Lazy::new(|| 92)` would not typecheck.
This historiacally was a necessity -- `new` is a `const` function, it couldn't have any bounds. Today though, we can move `new` under the `F: FnOnce() -> T` bound, which gives the compiler enough data to infer the type of T from closure.
abort immediately on bad mem::zeroed/uninit
Now that we have non-unwinding panics, let's use them for these assertions. This re-establishes the property that `mem::uninitialized` and `mem::zeroed` will never unwind -- the earlier approach of causing panics here sometimes led to hard-to-debug segfaults when the surrounding code was not able to cope with the unexpected unwinding.
Cc `@bjorn3` I did not touch cranelift but I assume it needs a similar patch. However it has a `codegen_panic` abstraction that I did not want to touch since I didn't know how else it is used.
add ptr::from_{ref,mut}

Rename `assert_uninit_valid` intrinsic
It's not about "uninit" anymore but about "filling with 0x01 bytes" so the name should at least try to reflect that.
This is actually not fully correct though, as it does still panic for all uninit with `-Zstrict-init-checks`. I'm not sure what the best way is to deal with that not causing confusion. I guess we could just remove the flag? I don't think having it makes a lot of sense anymore with the direction that we have chose to go. It could be relevant again if #100423 lands so removing it may be a bit over eager.

Unsafetyck was not correctly disabled before for `dialect = "built"` custom MIR. This is fixed and a regression test is added.
### Second commit

### Third commit
Implements indexing, field, and variant projections.
### Fourth commit

There is some amount of weirdness here due to having to beat Rust syntax into cooperating with MIR concepts, but it hopefully should not be too much. All of it is documented.

PartialEq: PERs are homogeneous
PartialEq claims that it corresponds to a PER, but that is only a well-defined statement when `Rhs == Self`. There is no standard notion of PER on a relation between two different sets/types. So move this out of the first paragraph and clarify this.
Adjust inlining attributes around panic_immediate_abort
The goal of `panic_immediate_abort` is to permit the panic runtime and formatting code paths to be optimized away. But while poking through some disassembly of a small program compiled with that option, I found that was not the case. Enabling LTO did address that specific issue, but enabling LTO is a steep price to pay for this feature doing its job.
This PR fixes that, by tweaking two things:
* All the slice indexing functions that we `const_eval_select` on get `#[inline]`. `objdump -dC` told me that originally some `_ct` functions could end up in an executable. I won't pretend to understand what's going on there.
* Normalize attributes across all `panic!` wrappers: use `inline(never) + cold` normally, and `inline` when `panic_immediate_abort` is enabled.
But also, with LTO and `panic_immediate_abort` enabled, this patch knocks ~709 kB out of the `.text` segment of `librustc_driver.so`. That is slightly surprising to me, my best theory is that this shifts some inlining earlier in compilation, enabling some subsequent optimizations. The size improvement of `librustc_driver.so` with `panic_immediate_abort` due to this patch is greater with LTO than without LTO, which I suppose backs up this theory.
I do not know how to test this. I would quite like to, because I think what this is solving was an accidental regression. This only works with `-Zbuild-std` which is a cargo flag, and thus can't be used in a rustc codegen test.

I do not seriously think anyone is going to use a compiler built with `panic_immediate_abort`, but I wanted a big complicated Rust program to try this out on, and the compiler is such.
Add `type_ascribe!` macro as placeholder syntax for type ascription
This makes it still possible to test the internal semantics of type ascription even once the `:`-syntax is removed from the parser. The macro now gets used in a bunch of UI tests that test the semantics and not syntax of type ascription.
I might have forgotten a few tests but this should hopefully be most of them. The remaining ones will certainly be found once type ascription is removed from the parser altogether.

`#![custom_mir]`: Various improvements
This PR makes a bunch of improvements to `#![custom_mir]`. Ideally this would be 4 PRs, one for each commit, but those would take forever to get merged and be a pain to juggle. Should still be reviewed one commit at a time though.
### Commit 1: Support arbitrary `let`
Before this change, all locals used in the body need to be declared at the top of the `mir!` invocation, which is rather annoying. We attempt to change that.
Unfortunately, we still have the requirement that the output of the `mir!` macro must resolve, typecheck, etc. Because of that, we can't just accept this in the THIR -> MIR parser because something like
```rust
{
let x = 0;
Goto(other)
}
other = {
RET = x;
Return()
}
```
will fail to resolve. Instead, the implementation does macro shenanigans to find the let declarations and extract them as part of the `mir!` macro. That *works*, but it is fairly complicated and degrades debuginfo by quite a bit. Specifically, the spans for any statements and declarations that are affected by this are completely wrong. My guess is that this is a net improvement though.
One way to recover some of the debuginfo would be to not support type annotations in the `let` statements, which would allow us to parse like `let $stmt:stmt`. That seems quite surprising though.
### Commit 2: Parse consts
Reuses most of the const parsing from regular Mir building for building custom mir
### Commit 3: Parse statics
Statics are slightly weird because the Mir primitive associated with them is a reference/pointer to them, so this is factored out separately.
### Commit 4: Fix some spans
A bunch of the spans were non-ideal, so we adjust them to be much more helpful.

Manually implement PartialEq for Option<T> and specialize non-nullable types
This PR manually implements `PartialEq` and `StructuralPartialEq` for `Option`, which seems to produce slightly better codegen than the automatically derived implementation.
It also allows specializing on the `core::num::NonZero*` and `core::ptr::NonNull` types, taking advantage of the niche optimization by transmuting the `Option<T>` to `T` to be compared directly, which can be done in just two instructions.
A comparison of the original, new and specialized code generation is available [here](https://godbolt.org/z/dE4jxdYsa).
Previously, async constructs would be lowered to "normal" generators,
with an additional `from_generator` / `GenFuture` shim in between to
convert from `Generator` to `Future`.
The compiler will now special-case these generators internally so that
async constructs will *directly* implement `Future` without the need
to go through the `from_generator` / `GenFuture` shim.
The primary motivation for this change was hiding this implementation
detail in stack traces and debuginfo, but it can in theory also help
the optimizer as there is less abstractions to see through.
Constify remaining `Layout` methods
Makes the methods on `Layout` that aren't yet unstably const, under the same feature and issue, #67521. Most of them required no changes, only non-trivial change is probably constifying `ValidAlignment` which may affect #102072
Deprecate the unstable `ptr_to_from_bits` feature
I propose that we deprecate the (unstable!) `to_bits` and `from_bits` methods on raw pointers. (With the intent to ~~remove them once `addr` has been around long enough to make the transition easy on people -- maybe another 6 weeks~~ remove them fairly soon after, as the strict and expose versions have been around for a while already.)
The APIs that came from the strict provenance explorations (#95228) are a more holistic version of these, and things like `.expose_addr()` work for the "that cast looks sketchy" case even if the full strict provenance stuff never happens. (As a bonus, `addr` is even shorter than `to_bits`, though it is only applicable if people can use full strict provenance! `addr` is *not* a direct replacement for `to_bits`.) So I think it's fine to move away from the `{to|from}_bits` methods, and encourage the others instead.
That also resolves the worry that was brought up (I forget where) that `q.to_bits()` and `(*q).to_bits()` both work if `q` is a pointer-to-floating-point, as they also have a `to_bits` method.

Add slice methods for indexing via an array of indices.
Disclaimer: It's been a while since I contributed to the main Rust repo, apologies in advance if this is large enough already that it should've been an RFC.
---
# Update:
- Based on feedback, removed the `&[T]` variant of this API, and removed the requirements for the indices to be sorted.
# Description
This adds the following slice methods to `core`:
```rust
impl<T> [T] {
pub unsafe fn get_many_unchecked_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self, indices: [usize; N]) -> [&mut T; N];
pub fn get_many_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self, indices: [usize; N]) -> Option<[&mut T; N]>;
}
```
This allows creating multiple mutable references to disjunct positions in a slice, which previously required writing some awkward code with `split_at_mut()` or `iter_mut()`. For the bound-checked variant, the indices are checked against each other and against the bounds of the slice, which requires `N * (N + 1) / 2` comparison operations.
This has a proof-of-concept standalone implementation here: https://crates.io/crates/index_many
Care has been taken that the implementation passes miri borrow checks, and generates straight-forward assembly (though this was only checked on x86_64).
# Example
```rust
let v = &mut [1, 2, 3, 4];
let [a, b] = v.get_many_mut([0, 2]).unwrap();
std::mem::swap(a, b);
*v += 100;
assert_eq!(v, &[3, 2, 101, 4]);
```

# Extensions
There are multiple optional extensions to this.
## Indexing With Ranges
This could easily be expanded to allow indexing with `[I; N]` where `I: SliceIndex<Self>`. I wanted to keep the initial implementation simple, so I didn't include it yet.
## Panicking Variant
We could also add this method:
```rust
impl<T> [T] {
fn index_many_mut<const N: usize>(&mut self, indices: [usize; N]) -> [&mut T; N];
}
```
This would work similar to the regular index operator and panic with out-of-bound indices. The advantage would be that we could more easily ensure good codegen with a useful panic message, which is non-trivial with the `Option` variant.
This is implemented in the standalone implementation, and used as basis for the codegen examples here and there.
Pin::new_unchecked: discuss pinning closure captures

my motivation for adding the examples was to make it very clear that the state of the iterator (in terms of where its cursor lies) has no effect on what remainder returns.
Also fixed some links to rchunk remainder methods.
This moves the stable sort implementation to the core::slice::sort module. By
virtue of being in core it can't access `Vec`. The two `Vec` used by merge sort,
`buf` and `runs`, are modelled as custom types that implement the very limited
required `Vec` interface with the help of provided allocation and free
functions. This is done to allow future re-use of functions and logic between
stable and unstable sort. Such as `insert_head`.

> The original pointer ptr is invalidated and any access to it is undefined behavior (even if reallocation was in-place).

`VecDeque::resize` should re-use the buffer in the passed-in element
Today it always copies it for *every* appended element, but one of those clones is avoidable.
This adds `iter::repeat_n` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/104434) as the primitive needed to do this. If this PR is acceptable, I'll also use this in `Vec` rather than its custom `ExtendElement` type & infrastructure that is harder to share between multiple different containers:

* Fix doc examples for Platforms with underaligned integer primitives.
* Mutable pointer doc examples use mutable pointers.
* Fill out tracking issue.
* Minor formatting changes.
