may not -> might not
may not -> might not
"may not" has two possible meanings:
1. A command: "You may not stay up past your bedtime."
2. A fact that's only sometimes true: "Some cities may not have bike lanes."
In some cases, the meaning is ambiguous: "Some cars may not have snow
tires." (do the cars *happen* to not have snow tires, or is it
physically impossible for them to have snow tires?)
This changes places where the standard library uses the "description of
fact" meaning to say "might not" instead.
This is just `std::vec` for now - if you think this is a good idea I can
convert the rest of the standard library.

Vec::dedup_by optimization
Now `Vec::dedup_by` drops items in-place as it goes through them.
From my benchmarks, it is around 10% faster when T is small, with no major regression when otherwise.
I used `ptr::copy` instead of conditional `ptr::copy_nonoverlapping`, because the latter had some weird performance issues on my ryzen laptop (it was 50% slower on it than on intel/sandybridge laptop)
It would be good if someone was able to reproduce these results.
Previously vec's len was updated only after full copy, making the method
leak if T::clone panic!s.
This commit makes `Vec::extend_from_within` (or, more accurately, it's
`T: Clone` specialization) update vec's len on every iteration, fixing
the issue.
`T: Copy` specialization was not affected by the issue b/c it doesn't
call user specified code (as, e.g. `T::clone`), and instead calls
`ptr::copy_nonoverlapping`.
Revert `Vec::spare_capacity_mut` impl to prevent pointers invalidation
The implementation was changed in #79015.
Later it was [pointed out](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81944#issuecomment-782849785) that the implementation invalidates pointers to the buffer (initialized elements) by creating a unique reference to the buffer. This PR reverts the implementation.
r? ```@RalfJung```
Almost all safety comments are of the form `// SAFETY:`,
so normalize the rest and fix a few of them that should
have been a `/// # Safety` section instead.
Furthermore, make `tidy` only allow the uppercase form. While
currently `tidy` only checks `core`, it is a good idea to prevent
`core` from drifting to non-uppercase comments, so that later
we can start checking `alloc` etc. too.

Improve design of `assert_len`
It was discussed in the [tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76393#issuecomment-761765448) that `assert_len`'s name and usage are confusing. This PR improves them based on a suggestion by ``@scottmcm`` in that issue.
I also improved the documentation to make it clearer when you might want to use this method.
Old example:
```rust
let range = range.assert_len(slice.len());
```
New example:
```rust
let range = range.ensure_subset_of(..slice.len());
```
Fixes#81157
Fix doc test for Vec::retain(), now passes clippy::eval_order_dependence
Doc test for Vec::retain() works correctly but is flagged by clippy::eval_order_dependence. Fix avoids the issue by using an iterator instead of an index.
Optimize Vec::retain
Use `copy_non_overlapping` instead of `swap` to reduce memory writes, like what we've done in #44355 and `String::retain`.
#48065 already tried to do this optimization but it is reverted in #67300 due to bad codegen of `DrainFilter::drop`.
This PR re-implement the drop-then-move approach. I did a [benchmark](https://gist.github.com/oxalica/3360eec9376f22533fcecff02798b698) on small-no-drop, small-need-drop, large-no-drop elements with different predicate functions. It turns out that the new implementation is >20% faster in average for almost all cases. Only 2/24 cases are slower by 3% and 5%. See the link above for more detail.
I think regression in may-panic cases is due to drop-guard preventing some optimization. If it's permitted to leak elements when predicate function of element's `drop` panic, the new implementation should be almost always faster than current one.
I'm not sure if we should leak on panic, since there is indeed an issue (#52267) complains about it before.
This commit introduces a new method to the public API, under
`vec_split_at_spare` feature gate:
```rust
impl<T, A: Allocator> impl Vec<T, A> {
pub fn split_at_spare_mut(&mut self) -> (&mut [T], &mut [MaybeUninit<T>]);
}
```
The method returns 2 slices, one slice references the content of the vector,
and the other references the remaining spare capacity.
The method was previously implemented while adding `Vec::extend_from_within`,
and used to implement `Vec::spare_capacity_mut` (as the later is just a
subset of former one).
add `Vec::extend_from_within` method under `vec_extend_from_within` feature gate
Implement <https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2714>
### tl;dr
This PR adds a `extend_from_within` method to `Vec` which allows copying elements from a range to the end:
```rust
#![feature(vec_extend_from_within)]
let mut vec = vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4];
vec.extend_from_within(2..);
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4]);
vec.extend_from_within(..2);
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1]);
vec.extend_from_within(4..8);
assert_eq!(vec, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 4, 2, 3, 4]);
```
### Implementation notes
Originally I've copied `@Shnatsel's` [implementation](690742a0de/src/lib.rs (L74)) with some minor changes to support other ranges:
```rust
pub fn append_from_within<R>(&mut self, src: R)
where
T: Copy,
R: RangeBounds<usize>,
{
let len = self.len();
let Range { start, end } = src.assert_len(len);;
let count = end - start;
self.reserve(count);
unsafe {
// This is safe because `reserve()` above succeeded,
// so `self.len() + count` did not overflow usize
ptr::copy_nonoverlapping(
self.get_unchecked(src.start),
self.as_mut_ptr().add(len),
count,
);
self.set_len(len + count);
}
}
```
But then I've realized that this duplicates most of the code from (private) `Vec::append_elements`, so I've used it instead.
Then I've applied `@KodrAus` suggestions from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79015#issuecomment-727200852.
Implement <https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2714>, changes from the RFC:
- Rename the method `append_from_within` => `extend_from_within`
- Loose :Copy bound => :Clone
- Specialize in case of :Copy
This commit also adds `Vec::split_at_spare` private method and use it to implement
`Vec::spare_capacity_mut` and `Vec::extend_from_within`. This method returns 2
slices - initialized elements (same as `&mut vec[..]`) and uninitialized but
allocated space (same as `vec.spare_capacity_mut()`).
Visualize vector while differentiating between stack and heap.
Inspired by cheats.rs, as this is probably the first place beginner go,
they could understand stack and heap, length and capacity with this. Not
sure if adding this means we should add to other places too.

Remove unstable deprecated Vec::remove_item
Closes#40062
The `Vec::remove_item` method was deprecated in `1.46.0` (in August of 2020). This PR now removes that unstable method entirely.
