The RefCell is now borrowed exactly once. In addition a code sequence
that contains an unwrap that is guaranteed to never panic at runtime is
replaced with get_or_insert_with, which makes the intended behavior
clearer and will not emit code to panic even without optimizations.
Previously the thread name would first be heap allocated and then
re-allocated to add a nul terminator. Now it will be heap allocated only
once with nul terminator added form the start.
This is a straightforward wrapper that uses the existing helpers for C
string handling and errno handling.
Having this available is convenient for UNIX utility programs written in
Rust, and avoids having to call unsafe functions like `libc::chown`
directly and handle errors manually, in a program that may otherwise be
entirely safe code.
In addition, these functions provide a more Rustic interface by
accepting appropriate traits and using `None` rather than `-1`.
Most of these are because alloc uses `#[lang_item]` to define methods,
but core documents primitives before those methods are available.
- Fix rustdoc-js-std test
For some reason this change made CStr not show up in the results for
`str,u8`. Since it still shows up for str, and since it wasn't a great
match for that query anyway, I think this is ok to let slide.
- Add test that all primitives can be linked to
- Enable `doc(primitive)` in `core` as well
- Add linkcheck exception specifically for Windows
Ideally this would be done automatically by the linkchecker by
replacing `\\` with forward slashes, but this PR is already a ton of
work ...
- Don't forcibly fail linkchecking if there's a broken intra-doc link on Windows
Previously, it would exit with a hard error if a missing file had `::`
in it. This changes it to report a missing file instead, which allows
adding an exception.
This works by doing two things:
- Adding links that are specific to the crate. Since not all primitive
items are defined in `core` (due to lang_items), these need to use
relative links and not intra-doc links.
- Duplicating `primitive_docs` in both core and std. This allows not needing CARGO_PKG_NAME to build the standard library. It also adds a tidy check to make sure they stay the same.
Reword description of automatic impls of `Unsize`.
The existing documentation felt a little unhelpfully concise, so this change tries to improve it by using longer sentences, each of which specifies which kinds of types it applies to as early as possible. In particular, the third item starts with “Structs ...” instead of saying “Foo is a struct” later.
Also, the previous list items “Only the last field has a type involving `T`” and “`T` is not part of the type of any other fields” are, as far as I see, redundant with each other, so I removed the latter.
I have no particular knowledge of `Unsize`; I have attempted to leave the meaning entirely unchanged but may have missed a nuance.
Markdown preview of the edited documentation:
> All implementations of `Unsize` are provided automatically by the compiler.
> Those implementations are:
>
> - Arrays `[T; N]` implement `Unsize<[T]>`.
> - Types implementing a trait `Trait` also implement `Unsize<dyn Trait>`.
> - Structs `Foo<..., T, ...>` implement `Unsize<Foo<..., U, ...>>` if all of these conditions
> are met:
> - `T: Unsize<U>`.
> - Only the last field of `Foo` has a type involving `T`.
> - `Bar<T>: Unsize<Bar<U>>`, where `Bar<T>` stands for the actual type of that last field.
Add proc_macro::Span::{before, after}.
This adds `proc_macro::Span::before()` and `proc_macro::Span::after()` to get a zero width span at the start or end of the span.
These are equivalent to rustc's `Span::shrink_to_lo()` and `Span::shrink_to_hi()` but with a less cryptic name. They are useful when generating diagnostlics like "missing \<thing\> after \<thing\>".
E.g.
```rust
syn::Error::new(ident.span().after(), "missing `:` after field name").into_compile_error()
```
