There are two big categories of changes in here
- Removing lifetimes from common traits that can essentially never user a lifetime from an input (particularly `Drop` & `Debug`)
- Forwarding impls that are only possible because the lifetime doesn't matter (like `impl<R: Read + ?Sized> Read for &mut R`)
I omitted things that seemed like they could be more controversial, like the handful of iterators that have a `Item: 'static` despite the iterator having a lifetime or the `PartialEq` implementations where the flipped one cannot elide the lifetime.
split MaybeUninit into several features, expand docs a bit
This splits the `maybe_uninit` feature gate into several:
* `maybe_uninit` for what we will hopefully stabilize soon-ish.
* `maybe_uninit_ref` for creating references into `MaybeUninit`, for which the rules are not yet clear.
* `maybe_uninit_slice` for handling slices of `MaybeUninit`, which needs more API design work.
* `maybe_uninit_array` for creating arrays of `MaybeUninit` using a macro (because we don't have https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/49147 yet).
Is that an okay thing to do? The goal is to help people avoid APIs we do not want to stabilize yet. I used this to make sure rustc itself does not use `get_ref` and `get_mut`.
I also extended the docs to advise against uninitialized integers -- again this is something for which the rules are still being discussed.
fix Box::into_unique effecitvely transmuting to a raw ptr
Miri/Stacked Borrows treat `Box` specially: they assert that it is unique, and tag it appropriately. However, currently, `Box::into_inner` is not aware of that and returns a raw pointer (wrapped in a `Unique`) that carries the same tag as the box, meaning it carries a `Uniq` tag. This leads to all sorts of problems when people use the raw pointer they get out of the `Unique` type.
In the future, it'd be interesting to make `Unique` also carry some kind of uniqueness. In that case, something like this would instead be needed whenever a raw pointer is extracted from a `Unique`. However, that is out-of-scope for the current version of Stacked Borrows. So until then, this changes `into_unique` to perform a proper reference-to-raw-ptr-cast, which clears the tag.
Stabilize slice_sort_by_cached_key
I was going to ask on the tracking issue (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/34447), but decided to just send this and hope for an FCP here. The method was added last March by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/48639.
Signature: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.sort_by_cached_key
```rust
impl [T] {
pub fn sort_by_cached_key<K, F>(&mut self, f: F)
where F: FnMut(&T) -> K, K: Ord;
}
```
That's an identical signature to the existing `sort_by_key`, so I think the questions are just naming, implementation, and the usual "do we want this?".
The implementation seems to have proven its use in rustc at least, which many uses: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/search?l=Rust&q=sort_by_cached_key
(I'm asking because it's exactly what I just needed the other day:
```rust
all_positions.sort_by_cached_key(|&n|
data::CITIES.iter()
.map(|x| *metric_closure.get_edge(n, x.pos).unwrap())
.sum::<usize>()
);
```
since caching that key is a pretty obviously good idea.)
Closes#34447
Cosmetic improvements to doc comments
This has been factored out from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/58036 to only include changes to documentation comments (throughout the rustc codebase).
r? @steveklabnik
Once you're happy with this, maybe we could get it through with r=1, so it doesn't constantly get invalidated? (I'm not sure this will be an issue, but just in case...) Anyway, thanks for your advice so far!
libcore, liballoc: disable tests in Miri
I am going to run the libcore and liballoc unit test suites in Miri. Not all tests pass. This PR disables a whole bunch of tests when running in Miri, to get us to a baseline from which I can investigate failures.
Cc @SimonSapin @alexcrichton
This change updates the future and task API as discussed in the stabilization RFC at https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2592.
Changes:
- Replacing UnsafeWake with RawWaker and RawWakerVtable
- Removal of LocalWaker
- Removal of Arc-based Wake trait
Transition liballoc to Rust 2018
This transitions liballoc to Rust 2018 edition and applies relevant idiom lints.
I also did a small bit of drive-by cleanup along the way.
r? @oli-obk
I started with liballoc since it seemed easiest. In particular, adding `edition = "2018"` to libcore gave me way too many errors due to stdsimd. Ideally we should be able to continue this crate-by-crate until all crates use 2018.
Implement Weak::{strong_count, weak_count}
The counters are also useful on `Weak`, not just on strong references (`Rc` or `Arc`).
In situations where there are still strong references around, you can also get these counts by temporarily upgrading and adjusting the values accordingly. Using the methods introduced here is simpler to do, less error-prone (since you can't forget to adjust the counts), can also be used when no strong references are around anymore, and might be more efficient due to not having to temporarily create an `Rc`.
This is mainly useful in assertions or tests of complex data structures. Data structures might have internal invariants that make them the sole owner of a `Weak` pointer, and an assertion on the weak count could be used to ensure that this indeed happens as expected. Due to the presence of `Weak::upgrade`, the `strong_count` becomes less useful, but it still seems worthwhile to mirror the API of `Rc`.
