To make way for a new IoSlice(Mut)::advance function that advances a
single slice.
Also changes the signature to accept a `&mut &mut [IoSlice]`, not
returning anything. This will better match the future IoSlice::advance
function.
add an example to explain std::io::Read::read returning 0 in some cases
I have always found the explanation about `Read::read` returning 0 to indicate EOF but not indefinitely, so here's more info using Linux as example. I can also add example code if necessary
Move `std::memchr` to `sys_common`
`std::memchr` is a thin abstraction over the different `memchr` implementations in `sys`, along with documentation and tests. The module is only used internally by `std`, nothing is exported externally. Code like this is exactly what the `sys_common` module is for, so this PR moves it there.
Rename `#[doc(spotlight)]` to `#[doc(notable_trait)]`
Fixes#80936.
"spotlight" is not a very specific or self-explaining name.
Additionally, the dialog that it triggers is called "Notable traits".
So, "notable trait" is a better name.
* Rename `#[doc(spotlight)]` to `#[doc(notable_trait)]`
* Rename `#![feature(doc_spotlight)]` to `#![feature(doc_notable_trait)]`

r? `@Manishearth`
The manual implementation has the same bounds, so I don't think there's
any reason for a manual implementation. The names used in the derive
implementation are even nicer (`first`/`second`) than the manual
implementation (`t`/`u`), and include the `done_first` field too.
Add internal io::Error::new_const to avoid allocations.
This makes it possible to have a io::Error containing a message with zero allocations, and uses that everywhere to avoid the *three* allocations involved in `io::Error::new(kind, "message")`.
The function signature isn't perfect, because it needs a reference to the `&str`. So for now, this is just a `pub(crate)` function. Later, we'll be able to use `fn new_const<MSG: &'static str>(kind: ErrorKind)` to make that a bit better. (Then we'll also be able to use some ZST trickery if that would result in more efficient code.)

Improved IO Bytes Size Hint
After trying to implement better `size_hint()` return values for `File` in [this PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/81044) and changing to implementing it for `BufReader` in [this PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/81052), I have arrived at this implementation that provides tighter bounds for the `Bytes` iterator of various readers including `BufReader`, `Empty`, and `Chain`.
Unfortunately, for `BufReader`, the size_hint only improves after calling `fill_buffer` due to it using the contents of the buffer for the hint. Nevertheless, the the tighter bounds should result in better pre-allocation of space to handle the contents of the `Bytes` iterator.
Closes#81052
Fix handling of malicious Readers in read_to_end
A malicious `Read` impl could return overly large values from `read`, which would result in the guard's drop impl setting the buffer's length to greater than its capacity! ~~To fix this, the drop impl now uses the safe `truncate` function instead of `set_len` which ensures that this will not happen. The result of calling the function will be nonsensical, but that's fine given the contract violation of the `Read` impl.~~
~~The `Guard` type is also used by `append_to_string` which does not pass untrusted values into the length field, so I've copied the guard type into each function and only modified the one used by `read_to_end`. We could just keep a single one and modify it, but it seems a bit cleaner to keep the guard code close to the functions and related specifically to them.~~
To fix this, we now assert that the returned length is not larger than the buffer passed to the method.
For reference, this bug has been present for ~2.5 years since 1.20: ecbb896b9e.
Closes#80894.
Add a `std::io::read_to_string` function
I recognize that you're usually supposed to open an issue first, but the
implementation is very small so it's okay if this is closed and it was 'wasted
work' :)
-----
The equivalent of `std::fs::read_to_string`, but generalized to all
`Read` impls.
As the documentation on `std::io::read_to_string` says, the advantage of
this function is that it means you don't have to create a variable first
and it provides more type safety since you can only get the buffer out
if there were no errors. If you use `Read::read_to_string`, you have to
remember to check whether the read succeeded because otherwise your
buffer will be empty.
It's friendlier to newcomers and better in most cases to use an explicit
return value instead of an out parameter.
