This greatly reduces the number of places that actually use the `rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_*` attributes down to just 3:
```
library/core\src\ptr\non_null.rs
68:#[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_start(1)]
library/core\src\num\niche_types.rs
19: #[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_start($low)]
20: #[rustc_layout_scalar_valid_range_end($high)]
```
Everything else -- PAL Nanoseconds, alloc's `Cap`, niched FDs, etc -- all just wrap those `niche_types` types.
Bump boostrap compiler to new beta
Currently failing due to something about the const stability checks and `panic!`. I'm not sure why though since I wasn't able to see any PRs merged in the past few days that would result in a `cfg(bootstrap)` that shouldn't be removed. cc `@RalfJung` #131349
This reduces code sizes and better respects programmer intent when
marking inline(never). Previously such a marking was essentially ignored
for generic functions, as we'd still inline them in remote crates.
Fundamentally, we have *three* disjoint categories of functions:
1. const-stable functions
2. private/unstable functions that are meant to be callable from const-stable functions
3. functions that can make use of unstable const features
This PR implements the following system:
- `#[rustc_const_stable]` puts functions in the first category. It may only be applied to `#[stable]` functions.
- `#[rustc_const_unstable]` by default puts functions in the third category. The new attribute `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` can be added to such a function to move it into the second category.
- `const fn` without a const stability marker are in the second category if they are still unstable. They automatically inherit the feature gate for regular calls, it can now also be used for const-calls.
Also, several holes in recursive const stability checking are being closed.
There's still one potential hole that is hard to avoid, which is when MIR
building automatically inserts calls to a particular function in stable
functions -- which happens in the panic machinery. Those need to *not* be
`rustc_const_unstable` (or manually get a `rustc_const_stable_indirect`) to be
sure they follow recursive const stability. But that's a fairly rare and special
case so IMO it's fine.
The net effect of this is that a `#[unstable]` or unmarked function can be
constified simply by marking it as `const fn`, and it will then be
const-callable from stable `const fn` and subject to recursive const stability
requirements. If it is publicly reachable (which implies it cannot be unmarked),
it will be const-unstable under the same feature gate. Only if the function ever
becomes `#[stable]` does it need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` or
`#[rustc_const_stable]` marker to decide if this should also imply
const-stability.
Adding `#[rustc_const_unstable]` is only needed for (a) functions that need to
use unstable const lang features (including intrinsics), or (b) `#[stable]`
functions that are not yet intended to be const-stable. Adding
`#[rustc_const_stable]` is only needed for functions that are actually meant to
be directly callable from stable const code. `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` is
used to mark intrinsics as const-callable and for `#[rustc_const_unstable]`
functions that are actually called from other, exposed-on-stable `const fn`. No
other attributes are required.
This change `const`-qualifies many methods on Vec and String, notably
`as_slice`, `as_str`, `len`. These changes are made behind the unstable
feature flag `const_vec_string_slice` with the following tracking issue:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/129041
In 126578 we ended up with more binary size increases than expected.
This change attempts to avoid inlining large things into small things, to avoid that kind of increase, in cases when top-down inlining will still be able to do that inlining later.
Vec::try_with_capacity
Related to #91913
Implements try_with_capacity for `Vec`, `VecDeque`, and `String`. I can follow it up with more collections if desired.
`Vec::try_with_capacity()` is functionally equivalent to the current stable:
```rust
let mut v = Vec::new();
v.try_reserve_exact(n)?
```
However, `try_reserve` calls non-inlined `finish_grow`, which requires old and new `Layout`, and is designed to reallocate memory. There is benefit to using `try_with_capacity`, besides syntax convenience, because it generates much smaller code at the call site with a direct call to the allocator. There's codegen test included.
It's also a very desirable functionality for users of `no_global_oom_handling` (Rust-for-Linux), since it makes a very commonly used function available in that environment (`with_capacity` is used much more frequently than all `(try_)reserve(_exact)`).
Hint optimizer about try-reserved capacity
This is #116568, but limited only to the less-common `try_reserve` functions to reduce bloat in debug binaries from debug info, while still addressing the main use-case #116570
There's a bunch of these checks because of special handing for ZSTs in various unsafe implementations of stuff.
This lets them be `T::IS_ZST` instead of `mem::size_of::<T>() == 0` every time, making them both more readable and more terse.
*Not* proposed for stabilization at this time. Would be `pub(crate)` except `alloc` wants to use it too.
(And while it doesn't matter now, if we ever get something like 85836 making it a const can help codegen be simpler.)
Rust 1.62.0 introduced a couple new `unused_imports` warnings
in `no_global_oom_handling` builds, making a total of 5 warnings:
```txt

```
This patch cleans them so that projects compiling `alloc` without
infallible allocations do not see the warnings. It also enables
the use of `-Dwarnings`.
The couple `dead_code` ones may be reverted when some fallible
allocation support starts using them.
