Remove feature from documentation examples
Add rustc_const_stable attribute to stabilized functions
Update intra-doc link for `u8::is_ascii_whitespace` on `&[u8]` functions
Add `trim_ascii_start`, `trim_ascii_end`, and `trim_ascii` functions to
`&str` for trimming ASCII whitespace under the `byte_slice_trim_ascii`
feature gate.
Add `inline` to `[u8]` `trim_ascii` functions
Some masks where defined as
```rust
const NONASCII_MASK: usize = 0x80808080_80808080u64 as usize;
```
where it was assumed that `usize` is never wider than 64, which is currently true.
To make those constants valid in a hypothetical 128-bit target, these constants have been redefined in an `usize`-width-agnostic way
```rust
const NONASCII_MASK: usize = usize::from_ne_bytes([0x80; size_of::<usize>()]);
```
There are already some cases where Rust anticipates the possibility of supporting 128-bit targets, such as not implementing `From<usize>` for `u64`.
allow arbitrary inherent impls for builtin types in core
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/487. Slightly adjusted after some talks with `@m-ou-se` about the requirements of `t-libs-api`.
This adds a crate attribute `#![rustc_coherence_is_core]` which allows arbitrary impls for builtin types in core.
For other library crates impls for builtin types should be avoided if possible. We do have to allow the existing stable impls however. To prevent us from accidentally adding more of these in the future, there is a second attribute `#[rustc_allow_incoherent_impl]` which has to be added to **all impl items**. This only supports impls for builtin types but can easily be extended to additional types in a future PR.
This implementation does not check for overlaps in these impls. Perfectly checking that requires us to check the coherence of these incoherent impls in every crate, as two distinct dependencies may add overlapping methods. It should be easy enough to detect if it goes wrong and the attribute is only intended for use inside of std.
The first two commits are mostly unrelated cleanups.
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.
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/94035
The unifying theme for this commit is weak, admittedly. I put together a
list of "expensive" functions when I originally proposed this whole
effort, but nobody's cared about that criterion. Still, it's a decent
way to bite off a not-too-big chunk of work.
Given the grab bag nature of this commit, the messages I used vary quite
a bit.
These methods could be misconstrued as modifying their arguments instead
of returning new values.
Where possible I made the note recommend a method that does mutate in
place.
