Update binary_search example to instead redirect to partition_point
Inspired by discussion in the tracking issue for `Result::into_ok_or_err`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82223#issuecomment-1067098167
People are surprised by us not providing a `Result<T, T> -> T` conversion, and the main culprit for this confusion seems to be the `binary_search` API. We should instead redirect people to the equivalent API that implicitly does that `Result<T, T> -> T` conversion internally which should obviate the need for the `into_ok_or_err` function and give us time to work towards a more general solution that applies to all enums rather than just `Result` such as making or_patterns usable for situations like this via postfix `match`.
I choose to duplicate the example rather than simply moving it from `binary_search` to partition point because most of the confusion seems to arise when people are looking at `binary_search`. It makes sense to me to have the example presented immediately rather than requiring people to click through to even realize there is an example. If I had to put it in only one place I'd leave it in `binary_search` and remove it from `partition_point` but it seems pretty obviously relevant to `partition_point` so I figured the best option would be to duplicate it.
**This Commit**
Adds some clarity around indexing into Strings and the constraints
driving various decisions there.
**Why?**
The [`String` documentation][0] mentions how `String`s can't be indexed
but `Range` has an implementation for `SliceIndex<str>`. This can be
confusing. There are also several statements to explain the lack of
`String` indexing:
- the inability to index into a `String` is an implication of UTF-8
encoding
- indexing into a `String` could not be constant-time with UTF-8
encoding
- indexing into a `String` does not have an obvious return type
This last statement made sense but the first two seemed contradictory to
the documentation around [`SliceIndex<str>`][1] which mention:
- one can index into a `String` with a `Range` (also called substring
slicing but it uses the same syntax and the method name is `index`)
- `Range` indexing into a `String` is constant-time
To resolve this seeming contradiction the documentation is reworked to
more clearly explain what factors drive the decision to disallow
indexing into a `String` with a single number.

Relevant commit messages from squashed history in order:
Add initial version of ThinBox
update test to actually capture failure
swap to middle ptr impl based on matthieu-m's design
Fix stack overflow in debug impl
The previous version would take a `&ThinBox<T>` and deref it once, which
resulted in a no-op and the same type, which it would then print causing
an endless recursion. I've switched to calling `deref` by name to let
method resolution handle deref the correct number of times.
I've also updated the Drop impl for good measure since it seemed like it
could be falling prey to the same bug, and I'll be adding some tests to
verify that the drop is happening correctly.

Add debug assertions to some unsafe functions
As suggested by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51713
~~Some similar code calls `abort()` instead of `panic!()` but aborting doesn't work in a `const fn`, and the intrinsic for doing dispatch based on whether execution is in a const is unstable.~~
This picked up some invalid uses of `get_unchecked` in the compiler, and fixes them.
I can confirm that they do in fact pick up invalid uses of `get_unchecked` in the wild, though the user experience is less-than-awesome:
```
Running unittests (target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/deps/rle_decode_fast-04b7918da2001b50)
running 6 tests
error: test failed, to rerun pass '--lib'
Caused by:
process didn't exit successfully: `/home/ben/rle-decode-helper/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/deps/rle_decode_fast-04b7918da2001b50` (signal: 4, SIGILL: illegal instruction)
```
~~As best I can tell these changes produce a 6% regression in the runtime of `./x.py test` when `[rust] debug = true` is set.~~
Latest commit (6894d559bd) brings the additional overhead from this PR down to 0.5%, while also adding a few more assertions. I think this actually covers all the places in `core` that it is reasonable to check for safety requirements at runtime.
Thoughts?
Fix double drop of allocator in IntoIter impl of Vec
Fixes#95269
The `drop` impl of `IntoIter` reconstructs a `RawVec` from `buf`, `cap` and `alloc`, when that `RawVec` is dropped it also drops the allocator. To avoid dropping the allocator twice we wrap it in `ManuallyDrop` in the `InttoIter` struct.
Note this is my first contribution to the standard library, so I might be missing some details or a better way to solve this.
allow arbitrary inherent impls for builtin types in core
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/487. Slightly adjusted after some talks with `@m-ou-se` about the requirements of `t-libs-api`.
This adds a crate attribute `#![rustc_coherence_is_core]` which allows arbitrary impls for builtin types in core.
For other library crates impls for builtin types should be avoided if possible. We do have to allow the existing stable impls however. To prevent us from accidentally adding more of these in the future, there is a second attribute `#[rustc_allow_incoherent_impl]` which has to be added to **all impl items**. This only supports impls for builtin types but can easily be extended to additional types in a future PR.
This implementation does not check for overlaps in these impls. Perfectly checking that requires us to check the coherence of these incoherent impls in every crate, as two distinct dependencies may add overlapping methods. It should be easy enough to detect if it goes wrong and the attribute is only intended for use inside of std.
The first two commits are mostly unrelated cleanups.
These debug assertions are all implemented only at runtime using
`const_eval_select`, and in the error path they execute
`intrinsics::abort` instead of being a normal debug assertion to
minimize the impact of these assertions on code size, when enabled.
Of all these changes, the bounds checks for unchecked indexing are
expected to be most impactful (case in point, they found a problem in
rustc).
Refactor set_ptr_value as with_metadata_of
Replaces `set_ptr_value` (#75091) with methods of reversed argument order:
```rust
impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
pub fn with_metadata_of<U: ?Sized>(self, val: *mut U) -> *mut U;
}
impl<T: ?Sized> *const T {
pub fn with_metadata_of<U: ?Sized>(self, val: *const U) -> *const U;
}
```
By reversing the arguments we achieve several clarifications:
- The function closely resembles `cast` with an argument to
initialize the metadata. This is easier to teach and answers a long
outstanding question that had restricted cast to `Sized` pointee
targets. See multiples reviews of
<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/47631>
- The 'object identity', in the form of provenance, is now preserved
from the receiver argument to the result. This helps explain the method as
a builder-style, instead of some kind of setter that would modify
something in-place. Ensuring that the result has the identity of the
`self` argument is also beneficial for an intuition of effects.
- An outstanding concern, 'Correct argument type', is avoided by not
committing to any specific argument type. This is consistent with cast
which does not require its receiver to be a 'raw address'.
Hopefully the usage examples in `sync/rc.rs` serve as sufficient examples of the style to convince the reader of the readability improvements of this style, when compared to the previous order of arguments.
I want to take the opportunity to motivate inclusion of this method _separate_ from metadata API, separate from `feature(ptr_metadata)`. It does _not_ involve the `Pointee` trait in any form. This may be regarded as a very, very light form that does not commit to any details of the pointee trait, or its associated metadata. There are several use cases for which this is already sufficient and no further inspection of metadata is necessary.
- Storing the coercion of `*mut T` into `*mut dyn Trait` as a way to dynamically cast some an arbitrary instance of the same type to a dyn trait instance. In particular, one can have a field of type `Option<*mut dyn io::Seek>` to memorize if a particular writer is seekable. Then a method `fn(self: &T) -> Option<&dyn Seek>` can be provided, which does _not_ involve the static trait bound `T: Seek`. This makes it possible to create an API that is capable of utilizing seekable streams and non-seekable streams (instead of a possible less efficient manner such as more buffering) through the same entry-point.
- Enabling more generic forms of unsizing for no-`std` smart pointers. Using the stable APIs only few concrete cases are available. One can unsize arrays to `[T]` by `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts` but unsizing a custom smart pointer to, e.g., `dyn Iterator`, `dyn Future`, `dyn Debug`, can't easily be done generically. Exposing `with_metadata_of` would allow smart pointers to offer their own `unsafe` escape hatch with similar parameters where the caller provides the unsized metadata. This is particularly interesting for embedded where `dyn`-trait usage can drastically reduce code size.
Allow comparing `Vec`s with different allocators using `==`
See https://stackoverflow.com/q/71021633/7884305.
I did not changed the `PartialOrd` impl too because it was not generic already (didn't support `Vec<T> <=> Vec<U> where T: PartialOrd<U>`).
Does it needs tests?
I don't think this will hurt type inference much because the default allocator is usually not inferred (`new()` specifies it directly, and even with other allocators, you pass the allocator to `new_in()` so the compiler usually knows the type).
I think this requires FCP since the impls are already stable.
Fix typo in `String::try_reserve_exact` docs
Copying the pattern from `Vec::try_reserve_exact` and `String::try_reserve`,
it looks like this doc comment is intending to refer to the currently-being-documented
function.

add module-level documentation for vec's in-place iteration
As requested in the last libs team meeting and during previous reviews.
Feel free to point out any gaps you encounter, after all non-obvious things may with hindsight seem obvious to me.
