Add section on common message styles for Result::expect
Based on a question from https://github.com/rust-lang/project-error-handling/issues/50#issuecomment-1092339937
~~One thing I haven't decided on yet, should I duplicate this section on `Option::expect`, link to this section, or move it somewhere else and link to that location from both docs?~~: I ended up moving the section to `std::error` and referencing it from both `Result::expect` and `Option::expect`'s docs.
I think this section, when combined with the similar update I made on [`std::panic!`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/macro.panic.html#when-to-use-panic-vs-result) implies that we should possibly more aggressively encourage and support the "expect as precondition" style described in this section. The consensus among the libs team seems to be that panic should be used for bugs, not expected potential failure modes. The "expect as error message" style seems to align better with the panic for unrecoverable errors style where they're seen as normal errors where the only difference is a desire to kill the current execution unit (aka erlang style error handling). I'm wondering if we should be providing a panic hook similar to `human-panic` or more strongly recommending the "expect as precondition" style of expect message.
improve case conversion happy path
Someone shared the source code for [Go's string case conversion](https://github.com/golang/go/blob/19156a54741d4f353c9e8e0860197ca95a6ee6ca/src/strings/strings.go#L558-L616).
It features a hot path for ascii-only strings (although I assume for reasons specific to go, they've opted for a read safe hot loop).
I've borrowed these ideas and also kept our existing code to provide a fast path + seamless utf-8 correct path fallback.
(Naive) Benchmarks can be found here https://github.com/conradludgate/case-conv
For the cases where non-ascii is found near the start, the performance of this algorithm does fall back to original speeds and has not had any measurable speed loss
Extend ptr::null and null_mut to all thin (including extern) types
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/93959
This change was accepted in https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2580-ptr-meta.html
Note that this changes the signature of **stable** functions. The change should be backward-compatible, but it is **insta-stable** since it cannot (easily, at all?) be made available only through a `#![feature(…)]` opt-in.
The RFC also proposed the same change for `NonNull::dangling`, which makes sense it terms of its signature but not in terms of its implementation. `dangling` uses `align_of()` as an address. But what `align_of()` should be for extern types or whether it should be allowed at all remains an open question.
This commit depends on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/93977, which is not yet part of the bootstrap compiler. So `#[cfg]` is used to only apply the change in stage 1+. As far a I know bounds cannot be made conditional with `#[cfg]`, so the entire functions are duplicated. This is unfortunate but temporary.
Since this duplication makes it less obvious in the diff, the new definitions differ in:
* More permissive bounds (`Thin` instead of implied `Sized`)
* Different implementation
* Having `rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(const_fn_trait_bound)`
* Having `rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(ptr_metadata)`
[RFC 2011] Library code
CC https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96496
Based on https://github.com/dtolnay/case-studies/tree/master/autoref-specialization.
Basically creates two traits with the same method name. One trait is generic over any `T` and the other is specialized to any `T: Printable`.
The compiler will then call the corresponding trait method through auto reference.
```rust
fn main() {
let mut a = Capture::new();
let mut b = Capture::new();
(&Wrapper(&1i32)).try_capture(&mut a); // `try_capture` from `TryCapturePrintable`
(&Wrapper(&vec![1i32])).try_capture(&mut b); // `try_capture` from `TryCaptureGeneric`
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", a), "1");
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", b), "N/A");
}
```

Add aliases for `current_dir`
Aliases were added for the equivalent C/C++ APIs for POSIX and Windows. Also, I added one for `pwd` which users may be more familiar with, from the command line.
Change orderings of `Debug` for the Atomic types to `Relaxed`.
This reduces synchronization between threads when debugging the atomic types. Reducing the synchronization means that executions with and without the debug calls will be more consistent, making it easier to debug.
We discussed this on the Rust Community Discord with `@ibraheemdev` before.
explain how to turn integers into fn ptrs
(with an intermediate raw ptr, not a direct transmute)
Direct int2ptr transmute, under the semantics I am imagining, will produce a ptr with "invalid" provenance that is invalid to deref or call. We cannot give it the same semantics as int2ptr casts since those do [something complicated](https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2022/04/11/provenance-exposed.html).
To my great surprise, that is already what the example in the `transmute` docs does. :) I still added a comment to say that that part is important, and I added a section explicitly talking about this to the `fn()` type docs.
With https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/pull/2151, Miri will start complaining about direct int-to-fnptr transmutes (in the sense that it is UB to call the resulting pointer).
Document rounding for floating-point primitive operations and string parsing
The docs for floating point don't have much to say at present about either the precision of their results or rounding behaviour.
As I understand it[^1][^2], Rust doesn't support operating with non-default rounding directions, so we need only describe roundTiesToEven.
[^1]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/41753#issuecomment-299322887
[^2]: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/8472#issuecomment-980888781
This PR makes a start by documenting that for primitive operations and `from_str()`.
Use const initializer for LOCAL_PANIC_COUNT
This reduces the size of the __getit function for LOCAL_PANIC_COUNT and should speed up accesses of LOCAL_PANIC_COUNT a bit.
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.
Change `NonNull::as_uninit_*` to take self by value (as opposed to reference), matching primitive pointers.
Copied from my comment on [#75402](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75402#issuecomment-1100496823):
> I noticed that `as_uninit_*` on pointers take `self` by value (and pointers are `Copy`), e.g. see [`as_uninit_mut`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/primitive.pointer.html#method.as_uninit_mut).
>
> However, on `NonNull`, these functions take `self` by reference, e.g. see the function with the same name by for `NonNull`: [`as_uninit_mut`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/struct.NonNull.html#method.as_uninit_mut) takes `self` by mutable reference. Even more inconsistent, [`as_uninit_slice_mut`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ptr/struct.NonNull.html#method.as_uninit_slice_mut) returns a mutable reference, but takes `self` by immutable reference.
>
> I think these methods should take `self` by value for consistency. The returned lifetime is unbounded anyways and not tied to the pointer/NonNull value anyways
I realized the change is trivial (if desired) so here I am creating my first PR. I think it's not a breaking change since (it's on nightly and) `NonNull` is `Copy`; all previous usages of these methods taking `self` by reference should continue to compile. However, it might cause warnings to appear on usages of `NonNull::as_uninit_mut`, which used to require the the `NonNull` variable be declared `mut`, but now it's not necessary.
Make write/print macros eagerly drop temporaries
This PR fixes the 2 regressions in #96434 (`println` and `eprintln`) and changes all the other similar macros (`write`, `writeln`, `print`, `eprint`) to match the old pre-#94868 behavior of `println` and `eprintln`.

```
You can see several real-world examples like this in the Crater links at the top of #96434. This code failed to compile prior to this PR as follows, but works after this PR.
```console

| borrowed value does not live long enough
| a temporary with access to the borrow is created here ...

| -

| `mutex` dropped here while still borrowed
| ... and the borrow might be used here, when that temporary is dropped and runs the `Drop` code for type `MutexGuard`

Stabilize `Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4_mapped`
CC https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/27709 (tracking issue for the `ip` feature which contains more
functions)
The function `Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4` is bad because it also returns an IPv4
address for the IPv6 loopback address `::1`. Stabilize
`Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4_mapped` so we can recommend that function instead.
Fix typo in futex RwLock::write_contended.
I wrote `state` where I should've used `s`.
This was spotted by `@Warrenren.`
This change removes the unnecessary `s` variable to prevent that mistake.
Fortunately, this typo didn't affect the correctness of the lock, as the
second half of the condition (!has_writers_waiting) is enough for
correctness, which explains why this mistake didn't show up during
testing.

Fix `Display` for `cell::{Ref,RefMut}`
These guards changed to pointers in #97027, but their `Display` was
formatting that field directly, which made it show the raw pointer
value. Now we go through `Deref` to display the real value again.
Miri noticed this change, #97204, so hopefully that will be fixed.
Fix rusty grammar in `std::error::Reporter` docs
### Commit
I initially saw "print's" instead of "prints" at the start of the doc comment for `std::error::Reporter`, while reading the docs for that type. Then I figured 'probably more where that came from', so, as well as correcting the foregoing to "prints", I've patched up these three minor solecisms (well, two [types](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%E2%80%93token_distinction), three [tokens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%E2%80%93token_distinction)):
- One use of the indicative which should be subjunctive - indeed the sentence immediately following it, which mirrors its structure, _does_ use the subjunctive ([L871](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L871)). Replaced with the subjunctive.
- Two separate clauses joined with commas ([L975](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L975), [L1023](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/std/src/error.rs?plain=1#L1023)). Replaced the first with a semicolon and the second with a period. Admittedly those judgements are pretty much 100% subjective, based on my sense of how the sentences flowed into each other (though ofc the _replacement of the comma itself_ is not subjective or opinion-based).
I know this is silly and finicky, but I hope it helps tidy up the docs a bit for future readers!
### PR notes
**This is very much non-urgent (and, honestly, non-important).** I just figured it might be a nice quality-of-life improvement and bit of tidying up for the core contributors themselves not to have to do. 🙂

Stabilize `array_from_fn`
## Overall
Stabilizes `core::array::from_fn` ~~and `core::array::try_from_fn`~~ to allow the creation of custom infallible ~~and fallible~~ arrays.
Signature proposed for stabilization here, tweaked as requested in the meeting:
```rust
// in core::array
pub fn from_fn<T, const N: usize, F>(_: F) -> [T; N];
```
Examples in https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/array/fn.from_fn.html
## History
* On 2020-08-17, implementation was [proposed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75644).
* On 2021-09-29, tracking issue was [created](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/89379).
* On 2021-10-09, the proposed implementation was [merged](https://github.com/rust-lang-ci/rust/commit/bc8ad24020a160e1acd7ac9f7671947dcc01264c).
* On 2021-12-03, the return type of `try_from_fn` was [changed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/91286#issuecomment-985513407).
## Considerations
* It is being assumed that indices are useful and shouldn't be removed from the callbacks
* The fact that `try_from_fn` returns an unstable type `R: Try` does not prevent stabilization. Although I'm honestly not sure about it.
* The addition or not of repeat-like variants is orthogonal to this PR.
These considerations are not ways of saying what is better or what is worse. In reality, they are an attempt to move things forward, anything really.

Implement Copy, Clone, PartialEq and Eq for core::fmt::Alignment
Alignment is a fieldless exhaustive enum, so it is already possible to
clone and compare it by matching, but it is inconvenient to do so. For
example, if one would like to create a struct describing a formatter
configuration and provide a clone implementation:
```rust
pub struct Format {
fill: char,
width: Option<usize>,
align: fmt::Alignment,
}
impl Clone for Format {
fn clone(&self) -> Self {
Format {
align: match self.align {
fmt::Alignment::Left => fmt::Alignment::Left,
fmt::Alignment::Right => fmt::Alignment::Right,
fmt::Alignment::Center => fmt::Alignment::Center,
},
.. *self
}
}
}
```
Derive Copy, Clone, PartialEq, and Eq for Alignment for convenience.
