Add internal io::Error::new_const to avoid allocations.
This makes it possible to have a io::Error containing a message with zero allocations, and uses that everywhere to avoid the *three* allocations involved in `io::Error::new(kind, "message")`.
The function signature isn't perfect, because it needs a reference to the `&str`. So for now, this is just a `pub(crate)` function. Later, we'll be able to use `fn new_const<MSG: &'static str>(kind: ErrorKind)` to make that a bit better. (Then we'll also be able to use some ZST trickery if that would result in more efficient code.)
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83352
"semantic equivalence" is too strong a phrasing here, which is why
actually explaining what kind of circumstances might produce a -0
was chosen instead.
Move `std::sys::unix::platform` to `std::sys::unix::ext`
This moves the operating system dependent alias `platform` (`std::os::{linux, android, ...}`) from `std::sys::unix` to `std::sys::unix::ext` (a.k.a. `std::os::unix`), removing the need for compatibility code in `unix_ext` when documenting on another platform.
This is also a step in making it possible to properly move `std::sys::unix::ext` to `std::os::unix`, as ideally `std::sys` should not depend on the rest of `std`.
Deprecate std::os::haiku::raw, which accidentally wasn't deprecated
In early 2016, all `std::os::*::raw` modules [were deprecated](aa23c98450) in accordance with [RFC 1415](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1415-trim-std-os.md). However, at this same time support for Haiku was being added to libstd, landing shortly after the aforementioned commit, and due to some crossed wires a `std::os::haiku::raw` module was added and was not marked as deprecated.
I have been in correspondence with the author of the Haiku patch, ````@nielx,```` who has confirmed that this was simply an oversight and that the definitions from the libc crate should be preferred instead.
Clarify docs for Read::read's return value
Right now the docs for `Read::read`'s return value are phrased in a way that makes it easy for the reader to assume that the return value is never larger than the passed buffer. This PR clarifies that this is a requirement for implementations of the trait, but that callers have to expect a buggy yet safe implementation failing to do so, especially if unchecked accesses to the buffer are done afterwards.
I fell into this trap recently, and when I noticed, I looked at the docs again and had the feeling that I might not have been the first one to miss this.
The same issue of trusting the return value of `read` was also present in std itself for about 2.5 years and only fixed recently, see #80895.
I hope that clarifying the docs might help others to avoid this issue.
Reuse `std::sys::unsupported::pipe` on `hermit`
Pipes are not supported on `hermit` and `hermit/pipe.rs` is identical to `unsupported/pipe.rs`. This PR reduces duplication between the two by doing the following on `hermit`:
```rust
#[path = "../unsupported/pipe.rs"]
pub mod pipe;
```
Add more links between hash and btree collections
- Link from `core::hash` to `HashMap` and `HashSet`
- Link from HashMap and HashSet to the module-level documentation on
when to use the collection
- Link from several collections to Wikipedia articles on the general
concept

Deprecate `intrinsics::drop_in_place` and `collections::Bound`, which accidentally weren't deprecated
Fixes#82080.
I've taken the liberty of updating the `since` values to 1.52, since an unobservable deprecation isn't much of a deprecation (even the detailed release notes never bothered to mention these deprecations).
As mentioned in the issue I'm *pretty* sure that using a type alias for `Bound` is semantically equivalent to the re-export; [the reference implies](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/type-aliases.html) that type aliases only observably differ from types when used on unit structs or tuple structs, whereas `Bound` is an enum.
Deprecate RustcEncodable and RustcDecodable.
We can't remove the `RustcEncodable` and `RustcDecodable` derive macros from the prelude, but we can deprecate them.
Added `try_exists()` method to `std::path::Path`
This method is similar to the existing `exists()` method, except it
doesn't silently ignore the errors, leading to less error-prone code.
This change intentionally does NOT touch the documentation of `exists()`
nor recommend people to use this method while it's unstable.
Such changes are reserved for stabilization to prevent confusing people.
Apart from that it avoids conflicts with #80979.

"spotlight" is not a very specific or self-explaining name.
Additionally, the dialog that it triggers is called "Notable traits".
So, "notable trait" is a better name.
* Rename `#[doc(spotlight)]` to `#[doc(notable_trait)]`
* Rename `#![feature(doc_spotlight)]` to `#![feature(doc_notable_trait)]`
* Update documentation
* Improve documentation
