This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
Sync portable-simd for bitmasks &c.
In the ideal case, where everything works easily and nothing has to be rearranged, it is as simple as:
- `git subtree pull -P library/portable-simd https://github.com/rust-lang/portable-simd - ${branch}`
- write the commit message
- `python x.py test --stage 1` to make sure it runs
- `git push` to your PR-to-rustc branch
If anything borks up this flow, you can fix it with sufficient git wizardry but you are usually better off going back to the source, fixing it, and starting over, before you open the PR.
r? `@calebzulawski`
We would like to check for errors with AVX512,
but we don't pick our CPU. So, detect available features.
This variance in checks stochastically reveals issues.
Nondeterminism is acceptable as our goal is protecting downstream.
* add `Simd::from_slice`
uses a zeroed initial array and loops so that it can be const.
unfortunately, parameterizing the assert with slice length
needs `#![feature(const_fn_fn_ptr_basics)]` to work.
This changes simd_swizzle! to a decl_macro to give it a path,
so it can be imported using a path and not the crate root.
It also adds various uses that were missed and adjusts paths.
This unsafe variant allows the thinnest API, in case LLVM cannot
perform loop-invariant code motion on a hot loop when the safe
form is used.
An unchecked variant could be added to other forms, but doesn't
seem likely to improve anything, since it would just add heavier
codegen.
Aligns module with rust-lang/library/core, creating an... unusual
architecture that is easier to pull in as a module, as core itself can
have no dependencies (as we haven't built core yet).
