In [137653], the lang and libs-API teams did a joint FCP to deprecate
and eventually remove the long-unstable `concat_idents!` macro. The
deprecation is landing in 1.88, so do the removal here (target version
1.90).
This macro has been superseded by the more recent `${concat(...)}`
metavariable expression language feature, which avoids some of the
limitations of `concat_idents!`. The metavar expression is unstably
available under the [`macro_metavar_expr_concat`] feature.
History is mildly interesting here: `concat_idents!` goes back to 2011
when it was introduced with 513276e595 ("Add #concat_idents[] and
about the same:
let asdf_fdsa = "<.<";
assert(#concat_idents[asd,f_f,dsa] == "<.<");
assert(#ident_to_str[use_mention_distinction]
== "use_mention_distinction");
(That test existed from introduction until its removal here.)

[`macro_metavar_expr_concat`]: https://www.github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/124225
`concat_idents` has been around unstably for a long time, but there is
now a better (but still unstable) way to join identifiers using
`${concat(...)}` syntax with `macro_metavar_expr_concat`. This resolves
a lot of the problems with `concat_idents` and is on a better track
toward stabilization, so there is no need to keep both versions around.
`concat_idents!` still has a lot of use in the ecosystem so deprecate it
before removing, as discussed in [1].

This fixes the issues described in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/136102. Primarily, this
resolves some issues with how the documentation for the prelude is
generated:
- It avoids showing "unstable" for macros in the prelude that are
actually stable.
- Avoids duplication of some pages due to the previous lack of
`doc(no_inline)`.
- Makes the different edition preludes consistent, and sets a pattern
that can be used by future editions.
We may need to rearrange these modules in the future if we decide to
remove anything from the prelude again. If we do, I think we should look
into a different solution that avoids the documentation problems.
There are some comments describing multiple subsequent `use` items. When
the big `use` reformatting happens some of these `use` items will be
reordered, possibly moving them away from the comment. With this
additional level of formatting it's not really feasible to have comments
of this type. This commit removes them in various ways:
- merging separate `use` items when appropriate;
- inserting blank lines between the comment and the first `use` item;
- outright deletion (for comments that are relatively low-value);
- adding a separate "top-level" comment.
We also entirely skip formatting for four library files that contain
nothing but `pub use` re-exports, where reordering would be painful.
Many, many projects use `size_of` to get the size of a type. However,
it's also often equally easy to hardcode a size (e.g. `8` instead of
`size_of::<u64>()`). Minimizing friction in the use of `size_of` helps
ensure that people use it and make code more self-documenting.
The name `size_of` is unambiguous: the name alone, without any prefix or
path, is self-explanatory and unmistakeable for any other functionality.
Adding it to the prelude cannot produce any name conflicts, as any local
definition will silently shadow the one from the prelude. Thus, we don't
need to wait for a new edition prelude to add it.
Add `size_of_val`, `align_of`, and `align_of_val` as well, with similar
justification: widely useful, self-explanatory, unmistakeable for
anything else, won't produce conflicts.
Add the `#[derive_const]` attribute
Closes#102371. This is a minimal patchset for the attribute to work. There are no restrictions on what traits this attribute applies to.
r? `````@oli-obk`````
The new implementation doesn't use weak lang items and instead changes
`#[alloc_error_handler]` to an attribute macro just like
`#[global_allocator]`.
The attribute will generate the `__rg_oom` function which is called by
the compiler-generated `__rust_alloc_error_handler`. If no `__rg_oom`
function is defined in any crate then the compiler shim will call
`__rdl_oom` in the alloc crate which will simply panic.
This also fixes link errors with `-C link-dead-code` with
`default_alloc_error_handler`: `__rg_oom` was previously defined in the
alloc crate and would attempt to reference the `oom` lang item, even if
it didn't exist. This worked as long as `__rg_oom` was excluded from
linking since it was not called.
This is a prerequisite for the stabilization of
`default_alloc_error_handler` (#102318).
- Do not `#[doc(hidden)]` the `#[derive]` macro attribute
- Add a link to the reference section to `derive`'s inherent docs
- Do the same for `#[test]` and `#[global_allocator]`
- Fix `GlobalAlloc` link (why is it on `core` and not `alloc`?)
- Try `no_inline`-ing the `std` reexports from `core`
- Revert "Try `no_inline`-ing the `std` reexports from `core`"
- Address PR review
- Also document the unstable macros
They are also removed from the prelude as per the decision in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87228.
stdarch and compiler-builtins are updated to work with the new, stable
asm! and global_asm! macros.
Edition-specific preludes
This changes `{std,core}::prelude` to export edition-specific preludes under `rust_2015`, `rust_2018` and `rust_2021`. (As suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51418#issuecomment-395630382.) For now they all just re-export `v1::*`, but this allows us to add things to the 2021edition prelude soon.
This also changes the compiler to make the automatically injected prelude import dependent on the selected edition.
cc `@rust-lang/libs` `@djc`
rust_2015 and rust_2018 are just re-exports of v1.
rust_2021 is a module that for now just re-exports everything from v1,
such that we can add more things later.
