Add midpoint function for all integers and floating numbers
This pull-request adds the `midpoint` function to `{u,i}{8,16,32,64,128,size}`, `NonZeroU{8,16,32,64,size}` and `f{32,64}`.
This new function is analog to the [C++ midpoint](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/midpoint) function, and basically compute `(a + b) / 2` with a rounding towards ~~`a`~~ negative infinity in the case of integers. Or simply said: `midpoint(a, b)` is `(a + b) >> 1` as if it were performed in a sufficiently-large signed integral type.
Note that unlike the C++ function this pull-request does not implement this function on pointers (`*const T` or `*mut T`). This could be implemented in a future pull-request if desire.
### Implementation
For `f32` and `f64` the implementation in based on the `libcxx` [one](18ab892ff7/libcxx/include/__numeric/midpoint.h (L65-L77)). I originally tried many different approach but all of them failed or lead me with a poor version of the `libcxx`. Note that `libstdc++` has a very similar one; Microsoft STL implementation is also basically the same as `libcxx`. It unfortunately doesn't seems like a better way exist.
For unsigned integers I created the macro `midpoint_impl!`, this macro has two branches:
- The first one take `$SelfT` and is used when there is no unsigned integer with at least the double of bits. The code simply use this formula `a + (b - a) / 2` with the arguments in the correct order and signs to have the good rounding.
- The second branch is used when a `$WideT` (at least double of bits as `$SelfT`) is provided, using a wider number means that no overflow can occur, this greatly improve the codegen (no branch and less instructions).
For signed integers the code basically forwards the signed numbers to the unsigned version of midpoint by mapping the signed numbers to their unsigned numbers (`ex: i8 [-128; 127] to [0; 255]`) and vice versa.
I originally created a version that worked directly on the signed numbers but the code was "ugly" and not understandable. Despite this mapping "overhead" the codegen is better than my most optimized version on signed integers.
~~Note that in the case of unsigned numbers I tried to be smart and used `#[cfg(target_pointer_width = "64")]` to determine if using the wide version was better or not by looking at the assembly on godbolt. This was applied to `u32`, `u64` and `usize` and doesn't change the behavior only the assembly code generated.~~
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]);
```

Disclaimer: Taken from local tests with the standalone implementation.
## Unchecked Indexing:
```rust
pub unsafe fn example_unchecked(slice: &mut [usize], indices: [usize; 3]) -> [&mut usize; 3] {
slice.get_many_unchecked_mut(indices)
}
```
```nasm
example_unchecked:
mov rcx, qword, ptr, [r9]
mov r8, qword, ptr, [r9, +, 8]
mov r9, qword, ptr, [r9, +, 16]
lea rcx, [rdx, +, 8*rcx]
lea r8, [rdx, +, 8*r8]
lea rdx, [rdx, +, 8*r9]
mov qword, ptr, [rax], rcx
mov qword, ptr, [rax, +, 8], r8
mov qword, ptr, [rax, +, 16], rdx
ret
```
## Checked Indexing (Option):
```rust
pub unsafe fn example_option(slice: &mut [usize], indices: [usize; 3]) -> Option<[&mut usize; 3]> {
slice.get_many_mut(indices)
}
```
```nasm
mov r10, qword, ptr, [r9, +, 8]
mov rcx, qword, ptr, [r9, +, 16]
cmp rcx, r10
je .LBB0_7
mov r9, qword, ptr, [r9]
cmp rcx, r9
je .LBB0_7
cmp rcx, r8
jae .LBB0_7
cmp r10, r9
je .LBB0_7
cmp r9, r8
jae .LBB0_7
cmp r10, r8
jae .LBB0_7
lea r8, [rdx, +, 8*r9]
lea r9, [rdx, +, 8*r10]
lea rcx, [rdx, +, 8*rcx]
mov qword, ptr, [rax], r8
mov qword, ptr, [rax, +, 8], r9
mov qword, ptr, [rax, +, 16], rcx
ret
.LBB0_7:
mov qword, ptr, [rax], 0
ret
```
## Checked Indexing (Panic):
```rust
pub fn example_panic(slice: &mut [usize], indices: [usize; 3]) -> [&mut usize; 3] {
let len = slice.len();
match slice.get_many_mut(indices) {
Some(s) => s,
None => {
let tmp = indices;
index_many::sorted_bound_check_failed(&tmp, len)
}
}
}
```
```nasm
example_panic:
sub rsp, 56
mov rax, qword, ptr, [r9]
mov r10, qword, ptr, [r9, +, 8]
mov r9, qword, ptr, [r9, +, 16]
cmp r9, r10

cmp r9, rax
je .LBB0_6
cmp r9, r8
jae .LBB0_6
cmp r10, rax
je .LBB0_6
cmp rax, r8
jae .LBB0_6
cmp r10, r8
jae .LBB0_6
lea rax, [rdx, +, 8*rax]
lea r8, [rdx, +, 8*r10]
lea rdx, [rdx, +, 8*r9]
mov qword, ptr, [rcx], rax
mov qword, ptr, [rcx, +, 8], r8
mov qword, ptr, [rcx, +, 16], rdx
mov rax, rcx
add rsp, 56
ret
.LBB0_6:
mov qword, ptr, [rsp, +, 32], rax
mov qword, ptr, [rsp, +, 40], r10
mov qword, ptr, [rsp, +, 48], r9
lea rcx, [rsp, +, 32]
mov edx, 3

# 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.
`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:

Make `Hash`, `Hasher` and `BuildHasher` `#[const_trait]` and make `Sip` const `Hasher`
This PR enables using Hashes in const context.

Stabilize `duration_checked_float`
## Stabilization Report
This stabilization report is for a stabilization of `duration_checked_float`, tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83400.
### Implementation History
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/82179
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90247
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96051
- Changed error type to `FromFloatSecsError` in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90247
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96051 changes the rounding mode to round-to-nearest instead of truncate.
## API Summary
This stabilization report proposes the following API to be stabilized in `core`, along with their re-exports in `std`:
```rust
// core::time
impl Duration {
pub const fn try_from_secs_f32(secs: f32) -> Result<Duration, TryFromFloatSecsError>;
pub const fn try_from_secs_f64(secs: f64) -> Result<Duration, TryFromFloatSecsError>;
}
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct TryFromFloatSecsError { ... }
impl core::fmt::Display for TryFromFloatSecsError { ... }
impl core::error::Error for TryFromFloatSecsError { ... }
```
These functions are made const unstable under `duration_consts_float`, tracking issue #72440.
There is an open question in the tracking issue around what the error type should be called which I was hoping to resolve in the context of an FCP.
In this stabilization PR, I have altered the name of the error type to `TryFromFloatSecsError`. In my opinion, the error type shares the name of the method (adjusted to accommodate both types of floats), which is consistent with other error types in `core`, `alloc` and `std` like `TryReserveError` and `TryFromIntError`.
## Experience Report
Code such as this is ready to be converted to a checked API to ensure it is panic free:
```rust
impl Time {
pub fn checked_add_f64(&self, seconds: f64) -> Result<Self, TimeError> {
// Fail safely during `f64` conversion to duration
if seconds.is_nan() || seconds.is_infinite() {
return Err(TzOutOfRangeError::new().into());
}
if seconds.is_sign_positive() {
self.checked_add(Duration::from_secs_f64(seconds))
} else {
self.checked_sub(Duration::from_secs_f64(-seconds))
}
}
}
```

introduce `{char, u8}::is_ascii_octdigit`
This feature adds two new APIs: `char::is_ascii_octdigit` and `u8::is_ascii_octdigit`, under the feature gate `is_ascii_octdigit`. These methods are shorthands for `char::is_digit(self, 8)` and `u8::is_digit(self, 8)`:
```rust
// core::char
impl char {
pub fn is_ascii_octdigit(self) -> bool;
}
// core::num
impl u8 {
pub fn is_ascii_octdigit(self) -> bool;
}
```
---
Couple of things I need help understanding:
- `const`ness: have I used the right attribute in this case?
- is there a way to run the tests for `core::char` alone, instead of `./x.py test library/core`?
Reimplement `carrying_add` and `borrowing_sub` for signed integers.
As per the discussion in #85532, this PR reimplements `carrying_add` and `borrowing_sub` for signed integers.
It also adds unit tests for both unsigned and signed integers, emphasing on the behaviours of the methods.
Expose `Utf8Lossy` as `Utf8Chunks`
This PR changes the feature for `Utf8Lossy` from `str_internals` to `utf8_lossy` and improves the API. This is done to eventually expose the API as stable.
Proposal: rust-lang/libs-team#54

I've tried to address most of the review comments on the previous attempt. The only thing I didn't address is `try_fold` implementation, I've left the "custom" one for now, not sure what exactly should it use.
