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.
Because `call_once` is generic, but `is_completed` is not, we need
`#[inline]` annotation to allow LLVM to inline `is_completed` into
`call_once` in downstream crates.
Allow to check if sync::Once is already initialized
Hi!
I propose to expose a way to check if a `Once` instance is initialized.
I need it in `once_cell`. `OnceCell` is effetively a pair of `(Once, UnsafeCell<Option<T>>)`, which can set the `T` only once. Because I can't check if `Once` is initialized, I am forced to add an indirection and check the value of ptr instead:
8127a81976/src/lib.rs (L423-L429)8127a81976/src/lib.rs (L457-L461)
The `parking_lot`'s version of `Once` exposes the state as an enum: https://docs.rs/parking_lot/0.6.3/parking_lot/struct.Once.html#method.state.
I suggest, for now, just to add a simple `bool` function: this fits my use-case perfectly, exposes less implementation details, and is forward-compatible with more fine-grained state checking.

The author of this diff is @alexcrichton. `sync::Once` contains only a pointer to (privately hidden) `Waiter`s, which are all stack-allocated. The `'static` bound to `sync::Once` is thus unnecessary to guarantee that any OS primitives are non-relocatable.
See https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/sync-once-per-instance/7918 for more context.
