core: Implement ASCII trim functions on byte slices
Hi ````````@rust-lang/libs!```````` This is a feature that I wished for when implementing serial protocols with microcontrollers. Often these protocols may contain leading or trailing whitespace, which needs to be removed. Because oftentimes drivers will operate on the byte level, decoding to unicode and checking for unicode whitespace is unnecessary overhead.
This PR adds three new methods to byte slices:
- `trim_ascii_start`
- `trim_ascii_end`
- `trim_ascii`
I did not find any pre-existing discussions about this, which surprises me a bit. Maybe I'm missing something, and this functionality is already possible through other means? There's https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/2547 ("Trim methods on slices"), but that has a different purpose.
As per the [std dev guide](https://std-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/feature-lifecycle/new-unstable-features.html), this is a proposed implementation without any issue / RFC. If this is the wrong process, please let me know. However, I thought discussing code is easier than discussing a mere idea, and hacking on the stdlib was fun.

Guard against unwinding in cleanup code
Currently the only safe guard we have against double unwind is the panic count (which is local to Rust). When double unwinds indeed happen (e.g. C++ exception + Rust panic, or two C++ exceptions), then the second unwind actually goes through and the first unwind is leaked. This can cause UB. cc rust-lang/project-ffi-unwind#6
E.g. given the following C++ code:
```c++
extern "C" void foo() {
throw "A";
}
extern "C" void execute(void (*fn)()) {
try {
fn();
} catch(...) {
}
}
```
This program is well-defined to terminate:
```c++
struct dtor {
~dtor() noexcept(false) {
foo();
}
};
void a() {
dtor a;
dtor b;
}
int main() {
execute(a);
return 0;
}
```
But this Rust code doesn't catch the double unwind:
```rust
extern "C-unwind" {
fn foo();
fn execute(f: unsafe extern "C-unwind" fn());
}
struct Dtor;
impl Drop for Dtor {
fn drop(&mut self) {
unsafe { foo(); }
}
}
extern "C-unwind" fn a() {
let _a = Dtor;
let _b = Dtor;
}
fn main() {
unsafe { execute(a) };
}
```
To address this issue, this PR adds an unwind edge to an abort block, so that the Rust example aborts. This is similar to how clang guards against double unwind (except clang calls terminate per C++ spec and we abort).
The cost should be very small; it's an additional trap instruction (well, two for now, since we use TrapUnreachable, but that's a different issue) for each function with landing pads; if LLVM gains support to encode "abort/terminate" info directly in LSDA like GCC does, then it'll be free. It's an additional basic block though so compile time may be worse, so I'd like a perf run.

Add a `try_collect()` helper method to `Iterator`
Implement `Iterator::try_collect()` as a helper around `Iterator::collect()` as discussed [here](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/idea-fallible-iterator-mapping-with-try-map/15715/5?u=a.lafrance).
First time contributor so definitely open to any feedback about my implementation! Specifically wondering if I should open a tracking issue for the unstable feature I introduced.
As the main participant in the internals discussion: r? `@scottmcm`
Add documentation to more `From::from` implementations.
For users looking at documentation through IDE popups, this gives them relevant information rather than the generic trait documentation wording “Performs the conversion”. For users reading the documentation for a specific type for any reason, this informs them when the conversion may allocate or copy significant memory versus when it is always a move or cheap copy.
Notes on specific cases:
* The new documentation for `From<T> for T` explains that it is not a conversion at all.
* Also documented `impl<T, U> Into<U> for T where U: From<T>`, the other central blanket implementation of conversion.
* The new documentation for construction of maps and sets from arrays of keys mentions the handling of duplicates. Future work could be to do this for *all* code paths that convert an iterable to a map or set.
* I did not add documentation to conversions of a specific error type to a more general error type.
* I did not add documentation to unstable code.
This change was prepared by searching for the text "From<... for" and so may have missed some cases that for whatever reason did not match. I also looked for `Into` impls but did not find any worth documenting by the above criteria.
Destabilize cfg(target_has_atomic_load_store = ...)
This was not intended to be stabilized yet.
This keeps the cfg_target_has_atomic feature gate name since compiler-builtins otherwise depends on it and I'd rather not try to manage a bump across a crates.io published repository given the time-sensitivity here (we need to land this quickly to avoid a beta backport).

Make [u8]::cmp implementation branchless
The current implementation generates rather ugly assembly code, branching when the common parts are equal. By performing the comparison of the lengths upfront using a subtraction, the assembly gets much prettier: https://godbolt.org/z/4e5fnEKGd.
This will probably not impact speed too much, as the expensive part is in most cases the `memcmp`, but it sure looks better (I'm porting a sorting algorithm currently, and that branch just bothered me).
Since `decl_macro`s and/or `Span::def_site()` is deemed quite unstable,
no public-facing macro that relies on it can hope to be, itself, stabilized.
We circumvent the issue by no longer relying on field privacy for safety and,
instead, relying on an unstable feature-gate to act as the gate keeper for
non users of the macro (thanks to `allow_internal_unstable`).
This is technically not correct (since a `nightly` user could technically enable
the feature and cause unsoundness with it); or, in other words, this makes the
feature-gate used to gate the access to the field be (technically unsound, and
in practice) `unsafe`. Hence it having `unsafe` in its name.
Back to the macro, we go back to `macro_rules!` / `mixed_site()`-span rules thanks
to declaring the `decl_macro` as `semitransparent`, which is a hack to basically have
`pub macro_rules!`

Stabilise inherent_ascii_escape (FCP in #77174)
Implements #77174, which completed its FCP.
This does *not* deprecate any existing methods or structs, as that is tracked in #93887. That stated, people should prefer using `u8::escape_ascii` to `std::ascii::escape_default`.
More practical examples for `Option::and_then` & `Result::and_then`
To be blatantly honest, I think the current example given for `Option::and_then` is objectively terrible. (No offence to whoever wrote them initially.)
```rust
fn sq(x: u32) -> Option<u32> { Some(x * x) }
fn nope(_: u32) -> Option<u32> { None }
assert_eq!(Some(2).and_then(sq).and_then(sq), Some(16));
assert_eq!(Some(2).and_then(sq).and_then(nope), None);
assert_eq!(Some(2).and_then(nope).and_then(sq), None);
assert_eq!(None.and_then(sq).and_then(sq), None);
```
Current example:
- does not demonstrate that `and_then` converts `Option<T>` to `Option<U>`
- is far removed from any realistic code
- generally just causes more confusion than it helps
So I replaced them with two blocks:
- the first one shows basic usage (including the type conversion)
- the second one shows an example of typical usage
Same thing with `Result::and_then`.
Hopefully this helps with clarity.
Change `ResultShunt` to be generic over `Try`
Just a refactor (and rename) for now, so it's not `Result`-specific.
This could be used for a future `Iterator::try_collect`, or similar, but anything like that is left for a future PR.
Add {floor,ceil}_char_boundary methods to str
This is technically already used internally by the standard library in the form of `truncate_to_char_boundary`.
Essentially these are two building blocks to allow for approximate string truncation, where you want to cut off the string at "approximately" a given length in bytes but don't know exactly where the character boundaries lie. It's also a good candidate for the standard library as it can easily be done naively, but would be difficult to properly optimise. Although the existing code that's done in error messages is done naively, this code will explicitly only check a window of 4 bytes since we know that a boundary must lie in that range, and because it will make it possible to vectorise.
Although this method doesn't take into account graphemes or other properties, this would still be a required building block for splitting that takes those into account. For example, if you wanted to split at a grapheme boundary, you could take your approximate splitting point and then determine the graphemes immediately following and preceeding the split. If you then notice that these two graphemes could be merged, you can decide to either include the whole grapheme or exclude it depending on whether you decide splitting should shrink or expand the string.
This takes the most conservative approach and just offers the raw indices to the user, and they can decide how to use them. That way, the methods are as useful as possible despite having as few methods as possible.
(Note: I'll add some tests and a tracking issue if it's decided that this is worth including.)
