The libs-api team agrees to allow const_trait_impl to appear in the
standard library as long as stable code cannot be broken (they are
properly gated) this means if the compiler teams thinks it's okay, then
it's okay.
My priority on constifying would be:
1. Non-generic impls (e.g. Default) or generic impls with no
bounds
2. Generic functions with bounds (that use const impls)
3. Generic impls with bounds
4. Impls for traits with associated types

Stabilize Vec<T>::shrink_to
This PR stabilizes `shrink_to` feature and closes the corresponding issue. The second point was addressed already, and no `panic!` should occur.
Closes#56431.
Update the examples in `String` and `VecDeque::retain`
The examples added in #60396 used a "clever" post-increment hack,
unrelated to the actual point of the examples. That hack was found
[confusing] in the users forum, and #81811 already changed the `Vec`
example to use a more direct iterator. This commit changes `String` and
`VecDeque` in the same way for consistency.

Remove some doc aliases
As per the new doc alias policy in https://github.com/rust-lang/std-dev-guide/pull/25, this removes some controversial doc aliases:
- `malloc`, `alloc`, `realloc`, etc.
- `length` (alias for `len`)
- `delete` (alias for `remove` in collections and also file/directory deletion)
r? `@joshtriplett`
This patch adds `String::extend_from_within` function under the
`string_extend_from_within` feature gate similar to the
`Vec::extend_from_within` function.
This avoids a zero-length write_str call, which boils down to a zero-length
memmove and ultimately costs quite a few instructions on some workloads.
This is approximately a 0.33% instruction count win on diesel-check.
For certain sorts of systems, programming, it's deemed essential that
all allocation failures be explicitly handled where they occur. For
example, see Linus Torvald's opinion in [1]. Merely not calling global
panic handlers, or always `try_reserving` first (for vectors), is not
deemed good enough, because the mere presence of the global OOM handlers
is burdens static analysis.
One option for these projects to use rust would just be to skip `alloc`,
rolling their own allocation abstractions. But this would, in my
opinion be a real shame. `alloc` has a few `try_*` methods already, and
we could easily have more. Features like custom allocator support also
demonstrate and existing to support diverse use-cases with the same
abstractions.
A natural way to add such a feature flag would a Cargo feature, but
there are currently uncertainties around how std library crate's Cargo
features may or not be stable, so to avoid any risk of stabilizing by
mistake we are going with a more low-level "raw cfg" token, which
cannot be interacted with via Cargo alone.
Note also that since there is no notion of "default cfg tokens" outside
of Cargo features, we have to invert the condition from
`global_oom_handling` to to `not(no_global_oom_handling)`. This breaks
the monotonicity that would be important for a Cargo feature (i.e.
turning on more features should never break compatibility), but it
doesn't matter for raw cfg tokens which are not intended to be
"constraint solved" by Cargo or anything else.
To support this use-case we create a new feature, "global-oom-handling",
on by default, and put the global OOM handler infra and everything else
it that depends on it behind it. By default, nothing is changed, but
users concerned about global handling can make sure it is disabled, and
be confident that all OOM handling is local and explicit.
For this first iteration, non-flat collections are outright disabled.
`Vec` and `String` don't yet have `try_*` allocation methods, but are
kept anyways since they can be oom-safely created "from parts", and we
hope to add those `try_` methods in the future.

Fix invalid slice access in String::retain
As noted in #78499, the previous fix was technically still unsound because it accessed elements of a slice outside its bounds (even though they were still inside the same allocation). This PR addresses that concern by switching to a dropguard approach.
Implement String::remove_matches
Closes#50206.
I lifted the function help from `@frewsxcv's` original PR (#50015), hope they don't mind.
I'm also wondering whether it would be useful for `remove_matches` to collect up the removed substrings into a `Vec` and return them, right now they're just overwritten by the copy and lost.
add diagnostic items for OsString/PathBuf/Owned as well as to_vec on slice
This is adding diagnostic items to be used by rust-lang/rust-clippy#6730, but my understanding is the clippy-side change does need to be done over there since I am adding a new clippy feature.
Add diagnostic items to the following types:
OsString (os_string_type)
PathBuf (path_buf_type)
Owned (to_owned_trait)
As well as the to_vec method on slice/[T]
Move `slice::check_range` to `RangeBounds`
Since this method doesn't take a slice anymore (#76662), it makes more sense to define it on `RangeBounds`.
Questions:
- Should the new method be `assert_len` or `assert_length`?
