Remove `Box::leak_with_alloc`
Add leak-test for box with allocator
Rename `AllocErr` to `AllocError` in leak-test
Add `Box::alloc` and adjust examples to use the new API
Allow Weak::as_ptr and friends for unsized T
Relaxes `impl<T> Weak<T>` to `impl<T: ?Sized> Weak<T>` for the methods `rc::Weak::as_ptr`, `into_raw`, and `from_raw`.
Follow-up to #73845, which did most of the impl work to make these functions work for `T: ?Sized`.
We still have to adjust the implementation of `Weak::from_raw` here, however, because I missed a use of `ptr.is_null()` previously. This check was necessary when `into`/`from_raw` were first implemented, as `into_raw` returned `ptr::null()` for dangling weak. However, we now just (wrapping) offset dangling weaks' pointers the same as nondangling weak, so the null check is no longer necessary (or even hit). (I can submit just 17a928f as a separate PR if desired.)
As a nice side effect, moves the `fn is_dangling` definition closer to `Weak::new`, which creates the dangling weak.
This technically stabilizes that "something like `align_of_val_raw`" is possible to do. However, I believe the part of the functionality required by these methods here -- specifically, getting the alignment of a pointee from a pointer where it may be dangling iff the pointee is `Sized` -- is uncontroversial enough to stabilize these methods without a way to implement them on stable Rust.
r? `@RalfJung,` who reviewed #73845.
ATTN: This changes (relaxes) the (input) generic bounds on stable fn!
This avoids overlapping a reference covering the data field,
which may be changed due in concurrent conditions. This fully
fixed the UB mainfested with `new_cyclic`.
- Use intra-doc links for `std::io` in `std::fs`
- Use intra-doc links for File::read in unix/ext/fs.rs
- Remove explicit intra-doc links for `true` in `net/addr.rs`
- Use intra-doc links in alloc/src/sync.rs
- Use intra-doc links in src/ascii.rs
- Switch to intra-doc links in alloc/rc.rs
- Use intra-doc links in core/pin.rs
- Use intra-doc links in std/prelude
- Use shorter links in `std/fs.rs`
`io` is already in scope.
New zeroed slice
Add to #63291 the methods
```rust
impl<T> Box<[T]> { pub fn new_zeroed_slice(len: usize) -> Box<[MaybeUninit<T>]> {…} }
impl<T> Rc<[T]> { pub fn new_zeroed_slice(len: usize) -> Rc<[MaybeUninit<T>]> {…} }
impl<T> Arc<[T]> { pub fn new_zeroed_slice(len: usize) -> Arc<[MaybeUninit<T>]> {…} }
```
as suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63291#issuecomment-605511675 .
Also optimize `{Rc, Arc}::new_zeroed` to use `alloc_zeroed`, otherwise they are no more efficient than using `new_uninit` and zeroing the memory manually (which was the original implementation).
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.
