It is already possible to extract the pointer part of a raw slice by a
simple cast, but retrieving the length is not possible without relying
on the representation of the raw slice when it is not valid to convert
the raw slice into a slice reference (i.e. the pointer is null or
unaligned).
Introduce a len() method on raw slices to add this missing feature.
For all methods which read a value of type T, `read`, `read_unaligned`,
`read_volatile` and `replace`, added missing
constraint:
The value they point to must be properly initialized
Stabilize ptr::slice_from_raw_parts[_mut]
Closes#36925, the tracking issue.
Initial impl: #60667
r? @rust-lang/libs
In addition to stabilizing, I've adjusted the example of `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts` to use `slice_from_raw_parts` instead of `slice_from_raw_parts_mut`, which was unnecessary for the example as written.
The as_ref method already has a Null-unchecked version section, its
example is a modification of the example in the main as_ref section.
Similarly the example in this commit is a modification of the example
in main as_mut section.
Require issue = "none" over issue = "0" in unstable attributes
These changes make the use of `issue = "none"` required in unstable attributes throughout the compiler.
Notes:
- #66299 is now in beta so `issue = "none"` is accepted.
- The `tidy` tool now fails on `issue = "0"`.
- Tests that used `issue = "0"` were changed to use `issue = "none"`, except for _one_ that asserts `issue = "0"` can still be used.
- The compiler still allows `issue = "0"` because some submodules require it, this could be disallowed once these are updated.

Make ptr::slice_from_raw_parts a const fn available under a feature flag
A first step in the direction of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67456 .
This makes `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts` and `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts_mut` available as a const fn under a feature flag.
This commit applies rustfmt with default settings to files in
src/libcore *that are not involved in any currently open PR* to minimize
merge conflicts. The list of files involved in open PRs was determined
by querying GitHub's GraphQL API with this script:
https://gist.github.com/dtolnay/aa9c34993dc051a4f344d1b10e4487e8
With the list of files from the script in `outstanding_files`, the
relevant commands were:
$ find src/libcore -name '*.rs' | xargs rustfmt --edition=2018
$ rg libcore outstanding_files | xargs git checkout --
Repeating this process several months apart should get us coverage of
most of the rest of libcore.
Have tidy ensure that we document all `unsafe` blocks in libcore
cc @rust-lang/libs
I documented a few and added ignore flags on the other files. We can incrementally document the files, but won't regress any files this way.
