Turn may_have_side_effect into an associated constant
The `may_have_side_effect` is an implementation detail of `TrustedRandomAccess`
trait. It describes if obtaining an iterator element may have side effects. It
is currently implemented as an associated function.
Turn `may_have_side_effect` into an associated constant. This makes the
value immediately available to the optimizer.
Convert primitives in the standard library to intra-doc links
Blocked on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80181. I forgot that this needs to wait for the beta bump so the standard library can be documented with `doc --stage 0`.
Notably I didn't convert `core::slice` because it's like 50 links and I got scared 😨
Specialize slice::fill with Copy type and u8/i8/bool
I don't expect rustperf could measure any perf improvements with this changes
since `slice::fill` is newly added.
Godbolt link for this change: <https://rust.godbolt.org/z/r3fzee>.
r? `@matthewjasper` since this patch added new specialization.
Improve design of `assert_len`
It was discussed in the [tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76393#issuecomment-761765448) that `assert_len`'s name and usage are confusing. This PR improves them based on a suggestion by ``@scottmcm`` in that issue.
I also improved the documentation to make it clearer when you might want to use this method.
Old example:
```rust
let range = range.assert_len(slice.len());
```
New example:
```rust
let range = range.ensure_subset_of(..slice.len());
```

Stabilize `core::slice::fill_with`
_Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79221_
This stabilizes the `slice_fill_with` feature for Rust 1.51, following the stabilization of `slice_fill` in 1.50. This was requested by libs team members in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79213.
This PR also adds the "memset" alias for `slice::fill_with`, mirroring the alias set on the `slice::fill` sibling API. This will ensure someone looking for "memset" will find both variants.

Rework diagnostics for wrong number of generic args (fixes#66228 and #71924)
This PR reworks the `wrong number of {} arguments` message, so that it provides more details and contextual hints.
Stabilize split_inclusive
### Contents of this MR
This stabilises:
* `slice::split_inclusive`
* `slice::split_inclusive_mut`
* `str::split_inclusive`
Closes#72360.
### A possible concern
The proliferation of `split_*` methods is not particularly pretty. The existence of `split_inclusive` seems to invite the addition of `rsplit_inclusive`, `splitn_inclusive`, etc. We could instead have a more general API, along these kinds of lines maybe:
```
pub fn split_generic('a,P,H>(&'a self, pat: P, how: H) -> ...
where P: Pattern
where H: SplitHow;
pub fn split_generic_mut('a,P,H>(&'a mut self, pat: P, how: H) -> ...
where P: Pattern
where H: SplitHow;
trait SplitHow {
fn reverse(&self) -> bool;
fn inclusive -> bool;
fn limit(&self) -> Option<usize>;
}
pub struct SplitFwd;
...
pub struct SplitRevInclN(pub usize);
```
But maybe that is worse.
### Let us defer that? ###
This seems like a can of worms. I think we can defer opening it now; if and when we have something more general, these two methods can become convenience aliases. But I thought I would mention it so the lang API team can consider it and have an opinion.
Stabilize slice::strip_prefix and slice::strip_suffix
These two methods are useful. The corresponding methods on `str` are already stable.
I believe that stablising these now would not get in the way of, in the future, extending these to take a richer pattern API a la `str`'s patterns.
Tracking PR: #73413. I also have an outstanding PR to improve the docs for these two functions and the corresponding ones on `str`: #75078
I have tried to follow the [instructions in the dev guide](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/stabilization_guide.html#stabilization-pr). The part to do with `compiler/rustc_feature` did not seem applicable. I assume that's because these are just library features, so there is no corresponding machinery in rustc.
The return of the GroupBy and GroupByMut iterators on slice
According to https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2477#issuecomment-742034372, I am opening this PR again, this time I implemented it in safe Rust only, it is therefore much easier to read and is completely safe.
This PR proposes to add two new methods to the slice, the `group_by` and `group_by_mut`. These two methods provide a way to iterate over non-overlapping sub-slices of a base slice that are separated by the predicate given by the user (e.g. `Partial::eq`, `|a, b| a.abs() < b.abs()`).
```rust
let slice = &[1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2];
let mut iter = slice.group_by(|a, b| a == b);
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[1, 1, 1][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[3, 3][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&[2, 2, 2][..]));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
```
[An RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2477) was open 2 years ago but wasn't necessary.
We hope later to extend `core::str::Pattern` to slices too, perhaps as
part of stabilising that. We want to minimise the amount of type
inference breakage when we do that, so we don't want to stabilise
strip_prefix and strip_suffix taking a simple `&[T]`.
@KodrAus suggested the approach of introducing a new perma-unstable
trait, which reduces this future inference break risk.
I found it necessary to make two impls of this trait, as the unsize
coercion don't apply when hunting for trait implementations.
Since SlicePattern's only method returns a reference, and the whole
trait is just a wrapper for slices, I made the trait type be the
non-reference type [T] or [T;N] rather than the reference. Otherwise
the trait would have a lifetime parameter.
I marked both the no-op conversion functions `#[inline]`. I'm not
sure if that is necessary but it seemed at the very least harmless.
