Jacob Pratt da1c27df16 Rollup merge of #146521 - folkertdev:document-va-arg-safe, r=workingjubilee
document `core::ffi::VaArgSafe`

tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44930

A modification of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146454, keeping just the documentation changes, but not unsealing the trait.

Although conceptually we'd want to unseal the trait, there are many edge cases to supporting arbitrary types. We'd need to exhaustively test that all targets/calling conventions support all types that rust might generate (or generate proper error messages for unsupported cases). At present, many of the `va_arg` implementations assume that the argument is a scalar, and has an alignment of at most 8. That is totally  sufficient for an MVP (accepting all of the "standard" C types), but clearly does not cover all rust types.

This PR also adds some various other tests for edge cases of c-variadic:

- the `#[inline]` attribute in its various forms. At present, LLVM is unable to inline c-variadic functions, but the attribute should still be accepted. `#[rustc_force_inline]` already rejects c-variadic functions.
- naked functions should accept and work with a C variable argument list. In the future we'd like to allow more ABIs with naked functions (basically, any ABI for which we accept defining foreign c-variadic functions), but for now only  `"C"` and `"C-unwind` are supported
- guaranteed tail calls: c-variadic functions cannot be tail-called. That was already rejected, but there was not test for it.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
