Add `size_of` and `size_of_val` and `align_of` and `align_of_val` to the prelude
(Note: need to update the PR to add `align_of` and `align_of_val`, and remove the second commit with the myriad changes to appease the lint.)
Many, many projects use `size_of` to get the size of a type. However,
it's also often equally easy to hardcode a size (e.g. `8` instead of
`size_of::<u64>()`). Minimizing friction in the use of `size_of` helps
ensure that people use it and make code more self-documenting.
The name `size_of` is unambiguous: the name alone, without any prefix or
path, is self-explanatory and unmistakeable for any other functionality.
Adding it to the prelude cannot produce any name conflicts, as any local
definition will silently shadow the one from the prelude. Thus, we don't
need to wait for a new edition prelude to add it.
drop_in_place: weaken the claim of equivalence with drop(ptr.read())
The two are *not* semantically equivalent in all cases, so let's not be so definite about this.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/112015
It's reasonable to want to, but in the current implementation this
causes multiple problems.
- All the `rmake.rs` files are formatted every time even when they
haven't changed. This is because they get whitelisted unconditionally
in the `OverrideBuilder`, before the changed files get added.
- The way `OverrideBuilder` works, if any files gets whitelisted then no
unmentioned files will get traversed. This is surprising, and means
that the `rmake.rs` entries broke the use of explicit paths to `x
fmt`, and also broke `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true git check --fmt`.
The commit removes the `rmake.rs` entries, fixes the formatting of a
couple of files that were misformatted (not previously caught due to the
`GITHUB_ACTIONS` breakage), and bans `!`-prefixed entries in
`rustfmt.toml` because they cause all these problems.
Add assert_unsafe_precondition to unchecked_{add,sub,neg,mul,shl,shr} methods
(Old PR is haunted, opening a new one. See #117494 for previous discussion.)
This ensures that these preconditions are actually checked in debug mode, and hopefully should let people know if they messed up. I've also replaced the calls (I could find) in the code that use these intrinsics directly with those that use these methods, so that the asserts actually apply.
More discussions on people misusing these methods in the tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85122.
offset: allow zero-byte offset on arbitrary pointers
As per prior `@rust-lang/opsem` [discussion](https://github.com/rust-lang/opsem-team/issues/10) and [FCP](https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/472#issuecomment-1793409130):
- Zero-sized reads and writes are allowed on all sufficiently aligned pointers, including the null pointer
- Inbounds-offset-by-zero is allowed on all pointers, including the null pointer
- `offset_from` on two pointers derived from the same allocation is always allowed when they have the same address
This removes surprising UB (in particular, even C++ allows "nullptr + 0", which we currently disallow), and it brings us one step closer to an important theoretical property for our semantics ("provenance monotonicity": if operations are valid on bytes without provenance, then adding provenance can't make them invalid).
The minimum LLVM we require (v17) includes https://reviews.llvm.org/D154051, so we can finally implement this.
The `offset_from` change is needed to maintain the equivalence with `offset`: if `let ptr2 = ptr1.offset(N)` is well-defined, then `ptr2.offset_from(ptr1)` should be well-defined and return N. Now consider the case where N is 0 and `ptr1` dangles: we want to still allow offset_from here.
I think we should change offset_from further, but that's a separate discussion.

definition will silently shadow the one from the prelude. Thus, we don't

Add `size_of_val`, `align_of`, and `align_of_val` as well, with similar
justification: widely useful, self-explanatory, unmistakeable for
anything else, won't produce conflicts.
Casting to `*const ()` or `*mut ()` just bloats the MIR, so let's not.
If ACP#362 goes through we can keep calling `ptr::from_raw_parts(_mut)` in these also without the cast, but that hasn't had any libs-api attention yet, so I'm not waiting on it.
Implement ptr_as_ref_unchecked
Implementation of #122034.
Prefixed the feature name with `ptr_` for clarity.
Linked const-unstability to #91822, so the post there should probably be updated to mentions the 3 new methods when/if this PR is merged.
rename ptr::from_exposed_addr -> ptr::with_exposed_provenance
As discussed on [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/136281-t-opsem/topic/To.20expose.20or.20not.20to.20expose/near/427757066).
The old name, `from_exposed_addr`, makes little sense as it's not the address that is exposed, it's the provenance. (`ptr.expose_addr()` stays unchanged as we haven't found a better option yet. The intended interpretation is "expose the provenance and return the address".)
The new name nicely matches `ptr::without_provenance`.
De-LLVM the unchecked shifts [MCP#693]
This is just one part of the MCP (https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/693), but it's the one that IMHO removes the most noise from the standard library code.
Seems net simpler this way, since MIR already supported heterogeneous shifts anyway, and thus it's not more work for backends than before.

Stabilize `unchecked_{add,sub,mul}`
Tracking issue: #85122
I think we might as well just stabilize these basic three. They're the ones that have `nuw`/`nsw` flags in LLVM.
Notably, this doesn't include the potentially-more-complex or -more-situational things like `unchecked_neg` or `unchecked_shr` that are under different feature flags.
To quote Ralf https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85122#issuecomment-1681669646,
> Are there any objections to stabilizing at least `unchecked_{add,sub,mul}`? For those there shouldn't be any surprises about what their safety requirements are.
*Semantially* these are [already available on stable, even in `const`, via](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=bdb1ff889b61950897f1e9f56d0c9a36) `checked_*`+`unreachable_unchecked`. So IMHO we might as well just let people write them directly, rather than try to go through a `let Some(x) = x.checked_add(y) else { unsafe { hint::unreachable_unchecked() }};` dance.
I added additional text to each method to attempt to better describe the behaviour and encourage `wrapping_*` instead.
r? rust-lang/libs-api
Let codegen decide when to `mem::swap` with immediates
Making `libcore` decide this is silly; the backend has so much better information about when it's a good idea.
Thus this PR introduces a new `typed_swap` intrinsic with a fallback body, and replaces that fallback implementation when swapping immediates or scalar pairs.
r? oli-obk
Replaces #111744, and means we'll never need more libs PRs like #111803 or #107140
