type error method suggestions use whitelisted identity-like conversions
Previously, on a type mismatch (and if this wasn't preëmpted by a
higher-priority suggestion), we would look for argumentless methods
returning the expected type, and list them in a `help` note. This had two
major shortcomings: firstly, a lot of the suggestions didn't really make
sense (if you used a &str where a String was expected,
`.to_ascii_uppercase()` is probably not the solution you were hoping
for). Secondly, we weren't generating suggestions from the most useful
traits! We address the first problem with an internal
`#[rustc_conversion_suggestion]` attribute meant to mark methods that keep
the "same value" in the relevant sense, just converting the type. We
address the second problem by making `FnCtxt.probe_for_return_type` pass
the `ProbeScope::AllTraits` to `probe_op`: this would seem to be safe
because grep reveals no other callers of `probe_for_return_type`.
Also, structured suggestions are pretty and good for RLS and friends.
Unfortunately, the trait probing is still not all one would hope for: at a
minimum, we don't know how to rule out `into()` in cases where it wouldn't
actually work, and we don't know how to rule in `.to_owned()` where it
would. Issues #46459 and #46460 have been filed and are ref'd in a FIXME.
This is hoped to resolve#42929, #44672, and #45777.

Also also, we make the E0055 autoderef recursion limit error use the
one-time-diagnostics set, because we can potentially hit the limit a lot
during probing. (Without this,
test/ui/did_you_mean/recursion_limit_deref.rs would report "aborting due to
51 errors").

Turns out ThinLTO was internalizing this symbol and eliminating it. Worse yet if
you compiled with LTO turns out no TLS destructors would run on Windows! The
`#[used]` annotation should be a more bulletproof implementation (in the face of
LTO) of preserving this symbol all the way through in LLVM and ensuring it makes
it all the way to the linker which will take care of it.
This commit removes the `rand` crate from the standard library facade as
well as the `__rand` module in the standard library. Neither of these
were used in any meaningful way in the standard library itself. The only
need for randomness in libstd is to initialize the thread-local keys of
a `HashMap`, and that unconditionally used `OsRng` defined in the
standard library anyway.
The cruft of the `rand` crate and the extra `rand` support in the
standard library makes libstd slightly more difficult to port to new
platforms, namely WebAssembly which doesn't have any randomness at all
(without interfacing with JS). The purpose of this commit is to clarify
and streamline randomness in libstd, focusing on how it's only required
in one location, hashmap seeds.
Note that the `rand` crate out of tree has almost always been a drop-in
replacement for the `rand` crate in-tree, so any usage (accidental or
purposeful) of the crate in-tree should switch to the `rand` crate on
crates.io. This then also has the further benefit of avoiding
duplication (mostly) between the two crates!
We don't want to stabilize them now already. The goal of this set of
commits is just to add inherent methods to the four types. Stabilizing
all of those methods can be done later.
Implement TryFrom<&[T]> for &[T; N]
There are many cases where a buffer with a static compile-time size is preferred over a slice with a dynamic size. This allows for performing a checked conversion from `&[T]` to `&[T; N]`. This may also lead to compile-time optimizations involving `[T; N]` such as loop unrolling.
This is my first PR to Rust, so I'm not sure if discussion of this change should happen here or does it need its own RFC? I figured these changes would be a subset of #33417.
This commit makes two main changes.
1. It switches the spsc_queue node caching strategy from keeping a shared
counter of the number of nodes in the cache to keeping a consumer only counter
of the number of node eligible to be cached.
2. It separate the consumer and producers fields of spsc_queue and stream into
a producer cache line and consumer cache line.
hide internal types/traits from std docs via new #[doc(masked)] attribute
Fixes#43701 (hopefully for good this time)
This PR introduces a new parameter to the `#[doc]` attribute that rustdoc looks for on `extern crate` statements. When it sees `#[doc(masked)]` on such a statement, it hides traits and types from that crate from appearing in either the "Trait Implementations" section of many type pages, or the "Implementors" section of trait pages. This is then applied to the `libc`/`rand`/`compiler_builtins` imports in libstd to prevent those crates from creating broken links in the std docs.
Like in #43348, this also introduces a feature gate, `doc_masked`, that controls the use of this parameter.
To view the std docs generated with this change, head to https://tonberry.quietmisdreavus.net/std-43701/std/index.html.
Currently the link on doc.rust-lang.org is semi-broken; it links to a
page that links to the exact page in the first edition in the book, or
to the index of the second edition of the book. If the second editions
is the recommended one now, we should point the links at that one. It
seems that in the mean time, the links have been updated to point
directly to the first edition of the book, but that hasn't made it onto
the stable channel yet. By the time this commit makes it onto the stable
channel, the second edition of the book should be complete enough. At
least the part about deref coercions is.
Expose all OS-specific modules in libstd doc.
1. Uses the special `--cfg dox` configuration passed by rustbuild when running `rustdoc`. Changes the `#[cfg(platform)]` into `#[cfg(any(dox, platform))]` so that platform-specific API are visible to rustdoc.
2. Since platform-specific implementations often won't compile correctly on other platforms, `rustdoc` is changed to apply `everybody_loops` to the functions during documentation and doc-test harness.
3. Since platform-specific code are documented on all platforms now, it could confuse users who found a useful API but is non-portable. Also, their examples will be doc-tested, so must be excluded when not testing on the native platform. An undocumented attribute `#[doc(cfg(...))]` is introduced to serve the above purposed.
Fixes#24658 (Does _not_ fully implement #1998).
Stabilize more APIs for the 1.20.0 release
In addition to the few stabilizations that have already landed, this cleans up the remaining APIs that are in `final-comment-period` right now to be stable by the 1.20.0 release
Stabilize float_bits_conv for Rust 1.21
Stabilizes the `float_bits_conv` lib feature for the 1.20 release of Rust. I've initially implemented the feature in #39271 and later made PR #43025 to output quiet NaNs even on platforms with different encodings, which seems to have been the only unresolved issue of the API.
Due to PR #43025 being only applied to master this stabilisation can't happen for Rust 1.19 through the usual "stabilisation on beta" system that is being done for library APIs.
