Remove impossible panic note from `Vec::append`
Neither the number of elements in a vector can overflow a `usize`, nor
can the amount of elements in two vectors.
Clarify slice and Vec iteration order
While already being inferable from the doc examples, it wasn't fully specified. This is the only logical way to do a slice iterator, so I think this should be uncontroversial. It also improves the `Vec::into_iter` example to better show the order and that the iterator returns owned values.
Clarify docs for `from_raw_parts` on `Vec` and `String`
Closes#95427
Original safety explanation for `from_raw_parts` was unclear on safety for consuming a C string. This clarifies when doing so is safe.
Currently it just calls `truncate(0)`. `truncate()` is (a) not marked as
`#[inline]`, and (b) more general than needed for `clear()`.
This commit changes `clear()` to do the work itself. This modest change
was first proposed in rust-lang#74172, where the reviewer rejected it because
there was insufficient evidence that `Vec::clear()`'s performance
mattered enough to justify the change. Recent changes within rustc have
made `Vec::clear()` hot within `macro_parser.rs`, so the change is now
clearly worthwhile.
Although it doesn't show wins on CI perf runs, this seems to be because they
use PGO. But not all platforms currently use PGO. Also, local builds don't use
PGO, and `truncate` sometimes shows up in an over-represented fashion in local
profiles. So local profiling will be made easier by this change.
Note that this will also benefit `String::clear()`, because it just
calls `Vec::clear()`.
Finally, the commit removes the `vec-clear.rs` codegen test. It was
added in #52908. From before then until now, `Vec::clear()` just called
`Vec::truncate()` with a zero length. The body of Vec::truncate() has
changed a lot since then. Now that `Vec::clear()` is doing actual work
itself, and not just calling `Vec::truncate()`, it's not surprising that
its generated code includes a load and an icmp. I think it's reasonable
to remove this test.
Fix double drop of allocator in IntoIter impl of Vec
Fixes#95269
The `drop` impl of `IntoIter` reconstructs a `RawVec` from `buf`, `cap` and `alloc`, when that `RawVec` is dropped it also drops the allocator. To avoid dropping the allocator twice we wrap it in `ManuallyDrop` in the `InttoIter` struct.
Note this is my first contribution to the standard library, so I might be missing some details or a better way to solve this.
Improve doc wording for retain on some collections
I found the documentation wording on the various retain methods on many collections to be unusual.
I tried to invert the relation by switching `such that` with `for which` .
This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
fix typo in btree/vec doc: Self -> self
this pr fixes#92345
the documentation refers to the object the method is called for, not the type, so it should be using the lower case self.
Add documentation to more `From::from` implementations.
For users looking at documentation through IDE popups, this gives them relevant information rather than the generic trait documentation wording “Performs the conversion”. For users reading the documentation for a specific type for any reason, this informs them when the conversion may allocate or copy significant memory versus when it is always a move or cheap copy.
Notes on specific cases:
* The new documentation for `From<T> for T` explains that it is not a conversion at all.
* Also documented `impl<T, U> Into<U> for T where U: From<T>`, the other central blanket implementation of conversion.
* The new documentation for construction of maps and sets from arrays of keys mentions the handling of duplicates. Future work could be to do this for *all* code paths that convert an iterable to a map or set.
* I did not add documentation to conversions of a specific error type to a more general error type.
* I did not add documentation to unstable code.
This change was prepared by searching for the text "From<... for" and so may have missed some cases that for whatever reason did not match. I also looked for `Into` impls but did not find any worth documenting by the above criteria.
Implement split_at_spare_mut without Deref to a slice so that the spare slice is valid
~I'm not sure I understand what's going on here correctly. And I'm pretty sure this safety comment needs to be changed. I'm just referring to the same thing that `as_mut_ptr_range` does.~ (Thanks `@RalfJung` for the guidance and clearing things up)
I tried to run https://github.com/rust-lang/miri-test-libstd on alloc with -Zmiri-track-raw-pointers, and got a failure on the test `vec::test_extend_from_within`.
I minimized the test failure into this program:
```rust
#![feature(vec_split_at_spare)]
fn main() {
Vec::<i32>::with_capacity(1).split_at_spare_mut();
}
```
The problem is that the existing implementation is actually getting a pointer range where both pointers are derived from the initialized region of the Vec's allocation, but we need the second one to be valid for the region between len and capacity. (thanks Ralf for clearing this up)
The previous implementation used slice::as_mut_ptr_range to derive the
pointer for the spare capacity slice. This is invalid, because that
pointer is derived from the initialized region, so it does not have
provenance over the uninitialized region.
