To improve our substring search performance, revive the two way searcher
and adapt it to the Pattern API.
Fixes#25483, a performance bug: that particular case now completes faster
in optimized rust than in ruby (but they share the same order of magnitude).
Much thanks to @gereeter who helped me understand the reverse case
better and wrote the comment explaining `next_back` in the code.
I had quickcheck to fuzz test forward and reverse searching thoroughly.
The two way searcher implements both forward and reverse search,
but not double ended search. The forward and reverse parts of the two
way searcher are completely independent.
The two way searcher algorithm has very small, constant space overhead,
requiring no dynamic allocation. Our implementation is relatively fast,
especially due to the `byteset` addition to the algorithm, which speeds
up many no-match cases.
A bad case for the two way algorithm is:
```
let haystack = (0..10_000).map(|_| "dac").collect::<String>();
let needle = (0..100).map(|_| "bac").collect::<String>());
```
For this particular case, two way is not much faster than the naive
implementation it replaces.
This commit stabilizes the `str::{matches, rmatches}` functions and iterators,
but renames the unstable feature for the `str::{matches,rmatches}_indices`
function to `str_match_indices` due to the comment present on the functions
about the iterator's return value.
This commit shards the broad `core` feature of the libcore library into finer
grained features. This split groups together similar APIs and enables tracking
each API separately, giving a better sense of where each feature is within the
stabilization process.
A few minor APIs were deprecated along the way:
* Iterator::reverse_in_place
* marker::NoCopy
Because these structures are created by a macro, the doc comments
don't quite work: the leading /// isn't stripped. Instead, just
use #[doc] so that they render correctly.

Without the inline annotation this:
str::from_utf8_unchecked( slice::from_raw_parts( ptr, len ) )
doesn't get inlined which can be pretty brutal performance-wise
when used in an inner loop of a low level string manipulation method.
This commit removes all the old casting/generic traits from `std::num` that are
no longer in use by the standard library. This additionally removes the old
`strconv` module which has not seen much use in quite a long time. All generic
functionality has been supplanted with traits in the `num` crate and the
`strconv` module is supplanted with the [rust-strconv crate][rust-strconv].

This is a breaking change due to the removal of these deprecated crates, and the
alternative crates are listed above.

The meaning of each variant of this enum was somewhat ambiguous and it's uncler
that we wouldn't even want to add more enumeration values in the future. As a
result this error has been altered to instead become an opaque structure.
Learning about the "first invalid byte index" is still an unstable feature, but
the type itself is now stable.
These traits are currently all just unstable parts of the facade which are
implementation details for primitives further up the facade. This may make it
more difficult to find what set of methods you get if only linking to libcore,
but for now that's also unstable behavior.
Closes#22025
This adds the missing methods and turns `str::pattern` in a user facing module, as per RFC.
This also contains some big internal refactorings:
- string iterator pairs are implemented with a central macro to reduce redundancy
- Moved all tests from `coretest::str` into `collectionstest::str` and left a note to prevent the two sets of tests drifting apart further.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/22477
- Added missing reverse versions of methods
- Added [r]matches()
- Generated the string pattern iterators with a macro
- Added where bounds to the methods returning reverse iterators
for better error messages.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 979][rfc] which changes the meaning of
the count parameter to the `splitn` function on strings and slices. The
parameter now means the number of items that are returned from the iterator, not
the number of splits that are made.

This commit cleans out a large amount of deprecated APIs from the standard
library and some of the facade crates as well, updating all users in the
compiler and in tests as it goes along.
This commit stabilizes the `std::num` module:
* The `Int` and `Float` traits are deprecated in favor of (1) the
newly-added inherent methods and (2) the generic traits available in
rust-lang/num.
* The `Zero` and `One` traits are reintroduced in `std::num`, which
together with various other traits allow you to recover the most
common forms of generic programming.
* The `FromStrRadix` trait, and associated free function, is deprecated
in favor of inherent implementations.
* A wide range of methods and constants for both integers and floating
point numbers are now `#[stable]`, having been adjusted for integer
guidelines.
* `is_positive` and `is_negative` are renamed to `is_sign_positive` and
`is_sign_negative`, in order to address #22985
* The `Wrapping` type is moved to `std::num` and stabilized;
`WrappingOps` is deprecated in favor of inherent methods on the
integer types, and direct implementation of operations on
`Wrapping<X>` for each concrete integer type `X`.

Main motivation was to update docs for the removal or "demotion" of certain extension traits. The update to the slice docs was larger, since the text was largely outdated.
The primary motivation here is to sidestep #19032 -- for a time, I thought that we should improve coherence or otherwise extend the language, but I now think that any such changes will require more time to bake. In the meantime, inheritance amongst the fn traits is both logically correct *and* a simple solution to that obstacle. This change introduces inheritance and modifies the compiler so that it can properly generate impls for closures and fns.
Things enabled by this PR (but not included in this PR):
1. An impl of `FnMut` for `&mut F` where `F : FnMut` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/23015).
2. A better version of `Thunk` I've been calling `FnBox`.
I did not include either of these in the PR because:
1. Adding the impls in 1 currently induces a coherence conflict with the pattern trait. This is interesting and merits some discussion.
2. `FnBox` deserves to be a PR of its own.
The main downside to this design is (a) the need to write impls by hand; (b) the possibility of implementing `FnMut` with different semantics from `Fn`, etc. Point (a) is minor -- in particular, it does not affect normal closure usage -- and could be addressed in the future in many ways (better defaults; convenient macros; specialization; etc). Point (b) is unfortunate but "just a bug" from my POV, and certainly not unique to these traits (c.f. Copy/Clone, PartialEq/Eq, etc). (Until we lift the feature-gate on implementing the Fn traits, in any case, there is room to correct both of these if we find a nice way.)
Note that I believe this change is reversible in the future if we decide on another course of action, due to the feature gate on implementing the `Fn` traits, though I do not (currently) think we should reverse it.
Fixes#18835.

Main access point of .split() and other similar methods are not using
the StrExt trait anymore, so update the libcore docs to reflect this
(because these docs are visible in libstd API documentation).
This permits all coercions to be performed in casts, but adds lints to warn in those cases.
Part of this patch moves cast checking to a later stage of type checking. We acquire obligations to check casts as part of type checking where we previously checked them. Once we have type checked a function or module, then we check any cast obligations which have been acquired. That means we have more type information available to check casts (this was crucial to making coercions work properly in place of some casts), but it means that casts cannot feed input into type inference.
[breaking change]
* Adds two new lints for trivial casts and trivial numeric casts, these are warn by default, but can cause errors if you build with warnings as errors. Previously, trivial numeric casts and casts to trait objects were allowed.
* The unused casts lint has gone.
* Interactions between casting and type inference have changed in subtle ways. Two ways this might manifest are:
- You may need to 'direct' casts more with extra type information, for example, in some cases where `foo as _ as T` succeeded, you may now need to specify the type for `_`
- Casts do not influence inference of integer types. E.g., the following used to type check:
```
let x = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
Because the cast would inform inference that `x` must have type `u32`. This no longer applies and the compiler will fallback to `i32` for `x` and thus there will be a type error in the cast. The solution is to add more type information:
```
let x: u32 = 42;
let y = &x as *const u32;
```
This is a [breaking-change]. When indexing a generic map (hashmap, etc) using the `[]` operator, it is now necessary to borrow explicitly, so change `map[key]` to `map[&key]` (consistent with the `get` routine). However, indexing of string-valued maps with constant strings can now be written `map["abc"]`.
