The output of Array::map is intended to be an array of the same size, and does not modify the
original in place nor is it intended for side-effects. Thus, under normal circumstances it should be consumed.
See [discussion](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/array-map-annotate-with-must-use/22813/26).
Attaching to tracking issue #75243
Polymorphize `array::IntoIter`'s iterator impl
Today we emit all the iterator methods for every different array width. That's wasteful since the actual array length never even comes into it -- the indices used are from the separate `alive: IndexRange` field, not even the `N` const param.
This PR switches things so that an `array::IntoIter<T, N>` stores a `PolymorphicIter<[MaybeUninit<T>; N]>`, which we *unsize* to `PolymorphicIter<[MaybeUninit<T>]>` and call methods on that non-`Sized` type for all the iterator methods.
That also necessarily makes the layout consistent between the different lengths of arrays, because of the unsizing. Compare that to today <https://rust.godbolt.org/z/Prb4xMPrb>, where different widths can't even be deduped because the offset to the indices is different for different array widths.
These gates are unnecessary now that unit tests for `core` are in a
separate package, `coretests`, instead of in the same files as the
source code. They previously prevented the two `core` versions from
conflicting with each other.
remove pointless allowed_through_unstable_modules on TryFromSliceError
This got added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/132482 but the PR does not explain why. `@lukas-code` do you still remember? Also Cc `@Noratrieb` as reviewer of that PR.
If I understand the issue description correctly, all paths under which this type is exported are stable now: `core::array::TryFromSliceError` and `std::array::TryFromSliceError`. If that is the case, we shouldn't have the attribute; it's a terrible hack that should only be used when needed to maintain backward compatibility. Getting some historic information right is IMO *not* sufficient justification to risk accidentally exposing this type via more unstable paths today or in the future.
Mark `<[T; N]>::as_mut_slice` with the `const` specifier.
Tracking issue: #133333
`<[T; N]>::as_mut_slice` can have the `const` specifier without any changes to the function body.
get rid of a whole bunch of unnecessary rustc_const_unstable attributes
In general, when a `const fn` is still unstable, it doesn't need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` attribute. The only exception is functions that internally use things that can't be used in stable const fn yet.
So this gets rid of a whole bunch of `#[rustc_const_unstable]` in libcore.
Added `#[inline]` to the `drop` method in the `Guard` implementation to ensure that the method is removed by the compiler at optimization level `opt-level=s` for `Copy` types. This change aims to align the method's behavior with optimization expectations and ensure it does not affect performance.
This is possible now that inline const blocks are stable; the idea was
even mentioned as an alternative when `uninit_array()` was added:
<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65580#issuecomment-544200681>
> if it’s stabilized soon enough maybe it’s not worth having a
> standard library method that will be replaceable with
> `let buffer = [MaybeUninit::<T>::uninit(); $N];`
Const array repetition and inline const blocks are now stable (in the
next release), so that circumstance has come to pass, and we no longer
have reason to want `uninit_array()` other than convenience. Therefore,
let’s evaluate the inconvenience by not using `uninit_array()` in
the standard library, before potentially deleting it entirely.
People keep making fun of this signature for being so gnarly.
Associated type bounds lend it a much simpler scribbling.
ChangeOutputType can also come along for the ride.
stabilise array methods
Closes#76118
Stabilises the remaining array methods
FCP is yet to be carried out for this
There wasn't a clear consensus on the naming, but all the other alternatives had some flaws as discussed in the tracking issue and there was a silence on this issue for a year
