In the current documentation about the `Copy` marker trait, there is a section
about "additional implementors", which list additional implementors of the `Copy` trait.
The fact that shared references are also `Copy` is mixed with another point,
which makes it hard to recognize and make it seem not as important.
This clarifies the fact that shared references are also `Copy`, by mentioning it as a
separate item in the list of "additional implementors".
Fix std::fs::File::metadata permission on WASI target
Previously `std::fs::File::metadata` on wasm32-wasi would call `fd_filestat_get`
to get metadata associated with fd, but that fd is opened without
RIGHTS_FD_FILESTAT_GET right, so it will failed on correctly implemented WASI
environment.
This change instead to add the missing rights when opening an fd.
Stabilize Vec::leak as a method
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62195
The signature is changed to a method rather than an associated function:
```diff
-pub fn leak<'a>(vec: Vec<T>) -> &'a mut [T]
+pub fn leak<'a>(self) -> &'a mut [T]
```
The reason for `Box::leak` not to be a method (`Deref` to an arbitrary `T` which might have its own, different `leak` method) does not apply.
add `slice::array_chunks` to std
Now that #74113 has landed, these methods are suddenly usable. A rebirth of #72334
Tests are directly copied from `chunks_exact` and some additional tests for type inference.
r? @withoutboats as you are both part of t-libs and working on const generics. closes#60735

Make `Option::unwrap` unstably const
This is lumped into the `const_option` feature gate (#67441), which enables a potpourri of `Option` methods.

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.
`Result::unwrap` is not eligible becuase it formats the contents of the
`Err` variant. `unwrap_or`, `unwrap_or_else` and friends are not
eligible because they drop things or invoke closures.
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`.
