This updates the standard library's documentation to use the new syntax. The
documentation is worthwhile to update as it should be more idiomatic
(particularly for features like this, which are nice for users to get acquainted
with). The general codebase is likely more hassle than benefit to update: it'll
hurt git blame, and generally updates can be done by folks updating the code if
(and when) that makes things more readable with the new format.
A few places in the compiler and library code are updated (mostly just due to
already having been done when this commit was first authored).
The functions are now `unsafe` and they use `Option::unwrap_unchecked` instead of `unwrap_or_0`
`unwrap_or_0` was added in 42357d772b. I guess `unwrap_unchecked` was not available back then.
Given this example:
```rust
pub fn first_char(s: &str) -> Option<char> {
s.chars().next()
}
```
Previously, the following assembly was produced:
```asm
_ZN7example10first_char17ha056ddea6bafad1cE:
.cfi_startproc
test rsi, rsi
je .LBB0_1
movzx edx, byte ptr [rdi]
test dl, dl
js .LBB0_3
mov eax, edx
ret
.LBB0_1:
mov eax, 1114112
ret
.LBB0_3:
lea r8, [rdi + rsi]
xor eax, eax
mov r9, r8
cmp rsi, 1
je .LBB0_5
movzx eax, byte ptr [rdi + 1]
add rdi, 2
and eax, 63
mov r9, rdi
.LBB0_5:
mov ecx, edx
and ecx, 31
cmp dl, -33
jbe .LBB0_6
cmp r9, r8
je .LBB0_9
movzx esi, byte ptr [r9]
add r9, 1
and esi, 63
shl eax, 6
or eax, esi
cmp dl, -16
jb .LBB0_12
.LBB0_13:
cmp r9, r8
je .LBB0_14
movzx edx, byte ptr [r9]
and edx, 63
jmp .LBB0_16
.LBB0_6:
shl ecx, 6
or eax, ecx
ret
.LBB0_9:
xor esi, esi
mov r9, r8
shl eax, 6
or eax, esi
cmp dl, -16
jae .LBB0_13
.LBB0_12:
shl ecx, 12
or eax, ecx
ret
.LBB0_14:
xor edx, edx
.LBB0_16:
and ecx, 7
shl ecx, 18
shl eax, 6
or eax, ecx
or eax, edx
ret
```
After this change, the assembly is reduced to:
```asm
_ZN7example10first_char17h4318683472f884ccE:
.cfi_startproc
test rsi, rsi
je .LBB0_1
movzx ecx, byte ptr [rdi]
test cl, cl
js .LBB0_3
mov eax, ecx
ret
.LBB0_1:
mov eax, 1114112
ret
.LBB0_3:
mov eax, ecx
and eax, 31
movzx esi, byte ptr [rdi + 1]
and esi, 63
cmp cl, -33
jbe .LBB0_4
movzx edx, byte ptr [rdi + 2]
shl esi, 6
and edx, 63
or edx, esi
cmp cl, -16
jb .LBB0_7
movzx ecx, byte ptr [rdi + 3]
and eax, 7
shl eax, 18
shl edx, 6
and ecx, 63
or ecx, edx
or eax, ecx
ret
.LBB0_4:
shl eax, 6
or eax, esi
ret
.LBB0_7:
shl eax, 12
or eax, edx
ret
```
My change to use `Type::def_id()` (formerly `Type::def_id_full()`) in
more places caused some docs to show up that used to be missed by
rustdoc. Those docs contained unescaped square brackets, which triggered
linkcheck errors. This commit escapes the square brackets and adds this
particular instance to the linkcheck exception list.
