Add inherent versions of MaybeUninit methods for slices This is my attempt to un-stall #63569 and #79995, by creating methods that mirror the existing `MaybeUninit` API: ```rust impl<T> MaybeUninit<T> { pub fn write(&mut self, value: T) -> &mut T; pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[MaybeUninit<u8>]; pub fn as_bytes_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]; pub unsafe fn assume_init_drop(&mut self); pub unsafe fn assume_init_ref(&self) -> &T; pub unsafe fn assume_init_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T; } ``` Adding these APIs: ```rust impl<T> [MaybeUninit<T>] { // replacing copy_from_slice; renamed to avoid conflict pub fn write_copy_of_slice(&mut self, value: &[T]) -> &mut [T] where T: Copy; // replacing clone_from_slice; renamed to avoid conflict pub fn write_clone_of_slice(&mut self, value: &[T]) -> &mut [T] where T: Clone; // identical to non-slice versions; no conflict pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[MaybeUninit<u8>]; pub fn as_bytes_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]; pub unsafe fn assume_init_drop(&mut self); pub unsafe fn assume_init_ref(&self) -> &[T]; pub unsafe fn assume_init_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [T]; } ``` Since the `assume_init` methods are identical to those on non-slices, they feel pretty natural. The main issue with the write methods is naming, as discussed in #79995 among other places. My rationale: * The term "write" should be in them somewhere, to mirror the other API, and this pretty much automatically makes them not collide with any other inherent slice methods. * I chose `write_clone_of_slice` and `write_copy_of_slice` since `clone` and `copy` are being used as objects here, whereas they're being used as actions in `clone_from_slice` and `copy_from_slice`. The final "weird" thing I've done in this PR is remove a link to `Vec<T>` from `assume_init_drop` (both copies, since they're effectively copied docs), since there's no good way to link to `Vec` for something that can occur both on the page for `std/primitive.slice.html` and `std/vec/struct.Vec.html`, since the code here lives in libcore and can't use intra-doc-linking to mention `Vec`. (see: #121436) The reason why this method shows up both on `Vec<T>` and `[T]` is because the `[T]` docs are automatically inlined on `Vec<T>`'s page, since it implements `Deref`. It's unfortunate that rustdoc doesn't have a way of dealing with this at the moment, but it is what it is, and it's a reasonable compromise for now. |

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
