Don't use "weak count" around Weak::from_raw_ptr
As `Rc/Arc::weak_count` returns 0 when having no strong counts, this
could be confusing and it's better to avoid using that completely.
Closes#73840.
Make `mem::size_of_val` and `mem::align_of_val` unstably const
Implements #46571 but does not stabilize it. I wanted this while working on something today.
The only reason not to immediately stabilize are concerns around [custom DSTs](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/46571#issuecomment-387669352). That proposal has made zero progress in the last two years and const eval is rich enough to support pretty much any user-defined `len` function as long as nightly features are allowed (`raw_ptr_deref`).
Currently, this raises a `const_err` lint when passed an `extern type`.

Fixes#74198.
For now I simply removed the links, the docs seems clear enough to me but I'm no expert in the domain so don't hesitate to correct me if more is needed.

Stabilize const_type_id feature
The tracking issue for `const_type_id` points to the ill-fated #41875. So I'm re-energizing `TypeId` shenanigans by opening this one up to see if there's anything blocking us from stabilizing the constification of type ids.
Will wait for CI before pinging teams/groups.
-----
This PR stabilizes the `const_type_id` feature, which allows `TypeId::of` (and the underlying unstable intrinsic) to be called in constant contexts.
There are some [sanity tests](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/consts/const-typeid-of-rpass.rs) that demonstrate its usage, but I’ve included some more below.
As a simple example, you could create a constant item that contains some type ids:
```rust
use std::any::TypeId;
const TYPE_IDS: [TypeId; 2] = [
TypeId::of::<u32>(),
TypeId::of::<i32>(),
];
assert_eq!(TypeId::of::<u32>(), TYPE_IDS[0]);
```
Type ids can also now appear in associated constants. You could create a trait that associates each type with its constant type id:
```rust
trait Any where Self: 'static {
const TYPE_ID: TypeId = TypeId::of::<Self>();
}
impl<T: 'static> Any for T { }
assert_eq!(TypeId::of::<usize>(), usize::TYPE_ID);
```
`TypeId::of` is generic, which we saw above in the way the generic `Self` argument was used. This has some implications for const evaluation. It means we can make trait impls evaluate differently depending on information that wasn't directly passed through the trait system. This violates the _parametricity_ property, which requires all instances of a generic function to behave the same way with respect to its generic parameters. That's not unique to `TypeId::of`, other generic const functions based on compiler intrinsics like `mem::align_of` can also violate parametricity. In practice Rust doesn't really have type parametricity anyway since it monomorphizes generics into concrete functions, so violating it using type ids isn’t new.
As an example of how impls can behave differently, you could combine constant type ids with the `const_if_match` feature to dispatch calls based on the type id of the generic `Self`, rather than based on information about `Self` that was threaded through trait bounds. It's like a rough-and-ready form of specialization:
```rust
#![feature(const_if_match)]
trait Specialized where Self: 'static {
// An associated constant that determines the function to call
// at compile-time based on `TypeId::of::<Self>`.
const CALL: fn(&Self) = {
const USIZE: TypeId = TypeId::of::<usize>();
match TypeId::of::<Self>() {
// Use a closure for `usize` that transmutes the generic `Self` to
// a concrete `usize` and dispatches to `Self::usize`.
USIZE => |x| Self::usize(unsafe { &*(x as *const Self as *const usize) }),
// For other types, dispatch to the generic `Self::default`.
_ => Self::default,
}
};
fn call(&self) {
// Call the function we determined at compile-time
(Self::CALL)(self)
}
fn default(x: &Self);
fn usize(x: &usize);
}
// Implement our `Specialized` trait for any `Debug` type.
impl<T: fmt::Debug + 'static> Specialized for T {
fn default(x: &Self) {
println!("default: {:?}", x);
}
fn usize(x: &usize) {
println!("usize: {:?}", x);
}
}
// Will print "usize: 42"
Specialized::call(&42usize);
// Will print "default: ()"
Specialized::call(&());
```
Type ids have some edges that this stabilization exposes to more contexts. It's possible for type ids to collide (but this is a bug). Since they can change between compiler versions, it's never valid to cast a type id to its underlying value.
Fix RefUnwindSafe & UnwinsSafe impls for lazy::SyncLazy
I *think* we should implement those unconditionally with respect to `F`.
The user code can't observe the closure in any way, and we poison lazy if the closure itself panics.
But I've never fully wrapped my head around `UnwindSafe` traits, so 🤷♂️
Add str::[r]split_once
This is useful for quick&dirty parsing of key: value config pairs. Used a bunch in Cargo and rust-analyzer:
* https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/search?q=splitn%282&unscoped_q=splitn%282
* https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/search?q=split_delim&unscoped_q=split_delim
In theory, once const-generics are done, this functionality could be achieved without a dedicated method with
```rust
match s.splitn(delimier, 2).collect_array::<2>() {
Some([prefix, suffix]) => todo!(),
None => todo!(),
}
```
Even in that world, having a dedicated method seems clearer on the intention.
I am not sure about naming -- this is something I've just came up with yesterday, I don't know off the top of my head analogs in other languages.
If T-libs thinks this is a reasonable API to have, I'll open a tracking issue and add more thorough tests.
Add #[inline] to RawWaker::new
`RawWaker::new` is used when creating a new waker or cloning an existing one,
for example as in code below. The `RawWakerVTable::new` can be const evaluated,
but `RawWaker::new` itself cannot since waker pointer is not known at compile
time. Add `#[inline]` to avoid overhead of a function call.
```rust
unsafe fn clone_waker<W: Wake + Send + Sync + 'static>(waker: *const ()) -> RawWaker {
unsafe { Arc::incr_strong_count(waker as *const W) };
RawWaker::new(
waker as *const (),
&RawWakerVTable::new(clone_waker::<W>, wake::<W>, wake_by_ref::<W>, drop_waker::<W>),
)
}
```
This commit updates the src/stdarch submodule primarily to include
rust-lang/stdarch#874 which updated and revamped WebAssembly SIMD
intrinsics and renamed WebAssembly atomics intrinsics. This is all
unstable surface area of the standard library so the changes should be
ok here. The SIMD updates also enable SIMD intrinsics to be used by any
program any any time, yay!
cc #74372, a tracking issue I've opened for the stabilization of SIMD
intrinsics
