Convert `Into<Box<[T]>> for Vec<T>` into `From<Vec<T>> for Box<[T]>`
As the `collections` crate has been merged into `alloc` in #42648 this impl is now possible. This is the final part of #42129 missing from #42227.
Allocator integration
Lets start getting some feedback on `trait Alloc`.
Here is:
* the `trait Alloc` itself,
* the `struct Layout` and `enum AllocErr` that its API relies on
* a `struct HeapAlloc` that exposes the system allocator as an instance of `Alloc`
* an integration of `Alloc` with `RawVec`
* ~~an integration of `Alloc` with `Vec`~~
TODO
* [x] split `fn realloc_in_place` into `grow` and `shrink` variants
* [x] add `# Unsafety` and `# Errors` sections to documentation for all relevant methods
* [x] remove `Vec` integration with `Allocator`
* [x] add `allocate_zeroed` impl to `HeapAllocator`
* [x] remove typedefs e.g. `type Size = usize;`
* [x] impl `trait Error` for all error types in PR
* [x] make `Layout::from_size_align` public
* [x] clarify docs of `fn padding_needed_for`.
* [x] revise `Layout` constructors to ensure that [size+align combination is valid](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/42313#issuecomment-306845446)
* [x] resolve mismatch re requirements of align on dealloc. See [comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/42313#issuecomment-306202489).
Introduce tidy lint to check for inconsistent tracking issues
This PR
* Refactors the collect_lib_features function to work in a
non-checking mode (no bad pointer needed, and list of
lang features).
* Introduces checking whether unstable/stable tags for a
given feature have inconsistent tracking issues, as in,
multiple tracking issues per feature.
* Fixes such inconsistencies throughout the codebase.

Includes methods exposing underlying allocator and the dellocation
routine.
Includes test illustrating a tiny `Alloc` that just bounds the total
bytes allocated.
Alpha-renamed `Allocator` to `Alloc` (and `HeapAllocator` to `HeapAlloc`).
Alpha-renamed `HeapAllocator` to `HeapAlloc`.
`<HeapAlloc as Alloc>::alloc_zeroed` is hooked up to `heap::allocate_zeroed`.
`HeapAlloc::realloc` falls back on alloc+copy+realloc on align mismatch.
Added `unwrap` calls in all the places where I can infer that the
conditions are met to avoid panic (or when the calling method itself
says it will panic in such a case).
Includes `alloc_zeroed` method that `RawVec` has come to depend on.
Exposed private `Layout::from_size_align` ctor to be `pub`, and added
explicit conditions for when it will panic (namely, when `align` is
not power-of-two, or if rounding up `size` to a multiple of `align`
overflows). Normalized all `Layout` construction to go through
`Layout::from_size_align`.
Addressed review feedback regarding `struct Layout` and zero-sized
layouts.
Restrict specification for `dealloc`, adding additional constraint
that the given alignment has to match that used to allocate the block.
(This is a maximally conservative constraint on the alignment. An open
question to resolve (before stabilization) is whether we can return to
a looser constraint such as the one previously specified.)
Split `fn realloc_in_place` into separate `fn grow_in_place` and `fn
shrink_in_place` methods, which have default impls that check against
usable_size for reuse. Make `realloc` default impl try `grow_in_place`
or `shrink_in_place` as appropriate before fallback on
alloc+copy+dealloc.
Drive-by: When reviewing calls to `padding_needed_for`, discovered
what I think was an over-conservative choice for its argument
alignment. Namely, in `fn extend`, we automatically realign the whole
resulting layout to satisfy both old (self) and new alignments. When
the old alignment exceeds the new, this means we would insert
unnecessary padding. So I changed the code to pass in `next.align`
instead of `new_align` to `padding_needed_for`.
Replaced ref to `realloc_in_place` with `grow_in_place`/`shrink_in_place`.
Revised docs replacing my idiosyncratic style of `fn foo` with just
`foo` when referring to the function or method `foo`.
(Alpha-renamed `Allocator` to `Alloc`.)
Post-rebased, added `Debug` derive for `allocator::Excess` to satisfy
`missing_debug_implementations`.
It was decided in the RFC discussion https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1954 to make the function call syntax Rc::clone(&foo) the idiomatic way to clone a reference counted pointer (over the method call syntax foo.clone(). This change updates the documentation of Rc, Arc and their respoective Weak pointers to reflect it and bring more exposure to the existence of the function call syntax.
refactor NonZero, Shared, and Unique APIs
Major difference is that I removed Deref impls, as apparently LLVM has
trouble maintaining metadata with a `&ptr -> &ptr` API. This was cited
as a blocker for ever stabilizing this API. It wasn't that ergonomic
anyway.
* Added `get` to NonZero to replace Deref impl
* Added `ptr` getter to Shared/Unique to replace Deref impl
* Added Unique's `get` and `get_mut` conveniences to Shared
* Deprecated `as_mut_ptr` on Shared in favour of `ptr`
Note that Shared used to primarily expose only `*const` but there isn't
a good justification for that, so I made it `*mut`.
We've got a freshly minted beta compiler, let's update to use that on nightly!
This has a few other changes associated with it as well
* A bump to the rustc version number (to 1.19.0)
* Movement of the `cargo` and `rls` submodules to their "proper" location in
`src/tools/{cargo,rls}`. Now that Cargo workspaces support the `exclude`
option this can work.
* Updates of the `cargo` and `rls` submodules to their master branches.
* Tweak to the `src/stage0.txt` format to be more amenable for Cargo version
numbers. On the beta channel Cargo will bootstrap from a different version
than rustc (e.g. the version numbers are different), so we need different
configuration for this.
* Addition of `dev` as a readable key in the `src/stage0.txt` format. If present
then stage0 compilers are downloaded from `dev-static.rust-lang.org` instead
of `static.rust-lang.org`. This is added to accomodate our updated release
process with Travis and AppVeyor.
More methods for str boxes. (reduce Box<[u8]> ↔ Box<str> transmutes)
This is a follow-up to #41096 that adds safer methods for converting between `Box<str>` and `Box<[u8]>`. They're gated under a different feature from the `&mut str` methods because they may be too niche to include in public APIs, although having them internally helps reduce the number of transmutes the standard library uses.
What's added:
* `From<Box<str>> for Box<[u8]>`
* `<Box<str>>::into_boxed_bytes` (just calls `Into::into`)
* `alloc::str` (new module)
* `from_boxed_utf8` and `from_boxed_utf8_unchecked`, defined in `alloc:str`, exported in `collections::str`
* exports `from_utf8_mut` in `collections::str` (missed from previous PR)
this avoids parsing item attributes on each call to `item_attrs`, which takes
off 33% (!) of translation time and 50% (!) of trans-item collection time.
This reverts commit 7f1d1c6d9a7be5e427bace30e740b16b25f25c92.
The original commit was created because mdBook and rustdoc had
different generation algorithms for header links; now with
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/39966 , the algorithms
are the same. So let's undo this change.
... when I came across this problem, I said "eh, this isn't fun,
but it doesn't take that long." I probably should have just actually
taken the time to fix upstream, given that they were amenable. Oh
well!
Conversions between CStr, OsStr, Path and boxes
This closes a bit of the inconsistencies between `CStr`, `OsStr`, `Path`, and `str`, allowing people to create boxed versions of DSTs other than `str` and `[T]`.
Full list of additions:
* `Default` for `Box<str>`, `Box<CStr>`, `Box<OsStr>`, and `Box<Path>` (note: `Default` for `PathBuf` is already implemented)
* `CString::into_boxed_c_str` (feature gated)
* `OsString::into_boxed_os_str` (feature gated)
* `Path::into_boxed_path` (feature gated)
* `From<&CStr> for Box<CStr>`
* `From<&OsStr> for Box<OsStr>`
* `From<&Path> for Box<Path>`
This also includes adding the internal methods:
* `sys::*::os_str::Buf::into_box`
* `sys::*::os_str::Slice::{into_box, empty_box}`
* `sys_common::wtf8::Wtf8Buf::into_box`
* `sys_common::wtf8::Wtf8::{into_box, empty_box}`
This commit updates the version number to 1.17.0 as we're not on that version of
the nightly compiler, and at the same time this updates src/stage0.txt to
bootstrap from freshly minted beta compiler and beta Cargo.
