Improve the error management when /proc is not mounted
This PR does two things:
* Triggers an error on GNU/Linux & Android when /proc/self/exe doesn't exist
* Handle the error properly
Improve docs in os::windows::ffi and os::windows::fs
Part of #29367
This PR makes changes to the documentation in `os::windows::ffi` and `os::windows::fs` with the goal of fleshing them out and bringing them in line with Rust's quality standards.
r? @steveklabnik
- Remove `()` parens when referencing functions in docs.
- Change some examples to be no_run instead of ignore.
- Normalize style in examples for `OpenOptionsExt`.
- Fix typo in windows mod docs.
[Doc] Add links to the `thread::LocalKey` doc.
Part of #29378 .
I do not know exactly what should be done for the `cleanup` part, if you have any idea I'll gladly do it.
r? @rust-lang/docs
[Doc] Implrove `thread::Builder`'s doc.
Part of #29378 .
- Explains *why* we would use the builder instead ofthe free function.
- Changes the parent-child explanation for a spawned-caller in `thread::Builder::spawn`
- Adds a link to `io::Result` in `thread::Builder`
- Corrects the return type doc in `thread::Builder::spawn`
r? @rust-lang/docs
Part of #29378 .
- In particular explains *why* we would use the builder instead of
the free function.
- Changes the parent-child explanation for a spawned-caller.
- Add link to `io::Result` in `thread::Builder`
- Corrects the `thread::Builder::spawn` documentation.
Windows io::Error: also format NTSTATUS error codes
`NTSTATUS` errors may be encoded as `HRESULT`, see [[MS-ERREF]](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc231198.aspx). These error codes can still be formatted using `FormatMessageW` but require some different parameters to be passed in.
I wasn't sure if this needed a test and if so, how to test it. Presumably we wouldn't want to make our tests dependent on localization-dependent strings returned from `FormatMessageW`.
Users that get an `err: NTSTATUS` will need to do `io::Error::from_raw_os_error(err|0x1000_0000)` (the equivalent of [`HRESULT_FROM_NT`](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms693780(VS.85).aspx))
Add `eprint!` and `eprintln!` macros to the prelude.
These are exactly the same as `print!` and `println!` except that they write to stderr instead of stdout. Issues #39228 and #40528; previous PR #39229; accepted RFC rust-lang/rfcs#1869; proposed revision to The Book rust-lang/book#615.
I have _not_ revised this any since the original submission; I will do that later this week. I wanted to get this PR in place since it's been quite a while since the RFC was merged.
Known outstanding review comments:
* [x] @steveklabnik requested a new chapter for the unstable version of The Book -- please see if the proposed revisions to the second edition cover it.
* [x] @nodakai asked if it were possible to merge the internal methods `_print` and `_eprint` - not completely, since they both refer to different internal globals which we don't want to expose, but I will see if some duplication can be factored out.
Please let me know if I missed anything.
[Doc] Improve `thread::spawn` documentation
Part of #29378
- Add two examples to `thread::spawn` doumentation that show common uses of threads.
- Add a link to `thread::Builder` in the `thread::spawn` documentation for configuring threads.
- Add a link to `thread::spawn` in `thread::Builder` in order to avoid documentation duplication.

[DOC] Improve the thread::park and thread::unpark documentation
Part of #29378 .
Takes care of the documentation for `park`, `park_duration` and also improves the `unpark` example.
- `park should` have its module documentation inlined here, and cleaned up.
- `park_timeout` could use links to `park`.
Add more ways to create a PathBuf to docs
The best way to do this wasn't in the documentation, and the ways that
were there needed some extra text to elaborate.
Fixes#40159
/cc @nagisa
* Factor out the nigh-identical bodies of `_print` and `_eprint` to a helper
function `print_to` (I was sorely tempted to call it `_doprnt`).
* Update the issue number for the unstable `eprint` feature.
* Add entries to the "unstable book" for `eprint` and `eprint_internal`.
* Style corrections to the documentation.
Improve cleaning of the bottom of the backtrace
Following https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/40264. It only cleans the bottom of the trace (after the main). It handles correctly the normal main, tests, benchmarks and threads.
I kept `skipped_before` since it will be used later for the cleaning of the top.
When `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`, remove all frames after
`__rust_maybe_catch_panic`. Tested on `main`, threads, tests and
benches. Cleaning of the top of the stacktrace is let to a future PR.
Fixes#40201
See #41815
[Doc] improve `thread::Thread` and `thread::Builder` documentations
Part of #29378
- Adds information about the stack_size when using `Builder`. This might be considered too low level, but I assume that if someone wants to create their own builder instead of using `thread::spawn` they may be interested in that info.
- Updates the `thread::Thread` structure doc, mostly by explaining how to get one, the previous example was removed because it was not related to `thread::Thread`, but rather to `thread::Builder::name`.
Not much is present there, mostly because this API is not often used (the only method that seems useful is `unpark`, which is documented in #41809).
