Remove unstable `io::Cursor::remaining`
Adding `io::Cursor::remaining` in #86037 caused a conflict with the implementation of `bytes::Buf` for `io::Cursor`, leading to an error in nightly, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86369#issuecomment-867723485.
This fixes the error by temporarily removing the `remaining` function.

Fix linker error
Currently, `fs::hard_link` determines whether platforms have `linkat` based on the OS, and uses `link` if they don't. However, this heuristic does not work well if a platform provides `linkat` on newer versions but not on older ones. On old MacOS, this currently causes a linking error.
This commit fixes `fs::hard_link` by telling it to use `weak!` on macOS. This means that, on that operating system, we now check for `linkat` at runtime and use `link` if it is not available.
Fixes#80804.
`@rustbot` label T-libs-impl
On old macos systems, `fs::hard_link()` will follow symlinks.
This changes the test `symlink_hard_link` to exit early on
these systems, so that tests can pass.
`weak!` is needed in a test in another module. With macros
1.0, importing `weak!` would require reordering module
declarations in `std/src/lib.rs`, which is a bit too
evil.

Add Integer::log variants
_This is another attempt at landing https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70835, which was approved by the libs team but failed on Android tests through Bors.

_Tracking issue: #70887_
---
This implements `{log,log2,log10}` methods for all integer types. The implementation was provided by `@substack` for use in the stdlib.
_Note: I'm not big on math, so this PR is a best effort written with limited knowledge. It's likely I'll be getting things wrong, but happy to learn and correct. Please bare with me._
## Motivation
Calculating the logarithm of a number is a generally useful operation. Currently the stdlib only provides implementations for floats, which means that if we want to calculate the logarithm for an integer we have to cast it to a float and then back to an int.
> would be nice if there was an integer log2 instead of having to either use the f32 version or leading_zeros() which i have to verify the results of every time to be sure
_— [`@substack,` 2020-03-08](https://twitter.com/substack/status/1236445105197727744)_
At higher numbers converting from an integer to a float we also risk overflows. This means that Rust currently only provides log operations for a limited set of integers.
The process of doing log operations by converting between floats and integers is also prone to rounding errors. In the following example we're trying to calculate `base10` for an integer. We might try and calculate the `base2` for the values, and attempt [a base swap](https://www.rapidtables.com/math/algebra/Logarithm.html#log-rules) to arrive at `base10`. However because we're performing intermediate rounding we arrive at the wrong result:
```rust
// log10(900) = ~2.95 = 2
dbg!(900f32.log10() as u64);
// log base change rule: logb(x) = logc(x) / logc(b)
// log2(900) / log2(10) = 9/3 = 3
dbg!((900f32.log2() as u64) / (10f32.log2() as u64));
```
_[playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=6bd6c68b3539e400f9ca4fdc6fc2eed0)_
This is somewhat nuanced as a lot of the time it'll work well, but in real world code this could lead to some hard to track bugs. By providing correct log implementations directly on integers we can help prevent errors around this.
## Implementation notes
I checked whether LLVM intrinsics existed before implementing this, and none exist yet. ~~Also I couldn't really find a better way to write the `ilog` function. One option would be to make it a private method on the number, but I didn't see any precedent for that. I also didn't know where to best place the tests, so I added them to the bottom of the file. Even though they might seem like quite a lot they take no time to execute.~~

Add std::os::unix::fs::DirEntryExt2::file_name_ref(&self) -> &OsStr
Greetings!
This is my first PR here, so please forgive me if I've missed an important step or otherwise done something wrong. I'm very open to suggestions/fixes/corrections.
This PR adds a function that allows `std::fs::DirEntry` to vend a borrow of its filename on Unix platforms, which is especially useful for sorting. (Windows has (as I understand it) encoding differences that require an allocation.) This new function sits alongside the cross-platform [`file_name(&self) -> OsString`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/struct.DirEntry.html#method.file_name) function.
I pitched this idea in an [internals thread](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/allow-std-direntry-to-vend-borrows-of-its-filename/14328/4), and no one objected vehemently, so here we are.
I understand features in general, I believe, but I'm not at all confident that my whole-cloth invention of a new feature string (as required by the compiler) was correct (or that the name is appropriate). Further, there doesn't appear to be a test for the sibling `ino` function, so I didn't add one for this similarly trivial function either. If it's desirable that I should do so, I'd be happy to [figure out how to] do that.
The following is a trivial sample of a use-case for this function, in which directory entries are sorted without any additional allocations:
```rust
use std::os::unix::fs::DirEntryExt;
use std::{fs, io};
fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let mut entries = fs::read_dir(".")?.collect::<Result<Vec<_>, io::Error>>()?;
entries.sort_unstable_by(|a, b| a.file_name_ref().cmp(b.file_name_ref()));
for p in entries {
println!("{:?}", p);
}
Ok(())
}
```

More ErrorKinds for common errnos
From the commit message of the main commit here (as revised):
```
There are a number of IO error situations which it would be very
useful for Rust code to be able to recognise without having to resort
to OS-specific code. Taking some Unix examples, `ENOTEMPTY` and
`EXDEV` have obvious recovery strategies. Recently I was surprised to
discover that `ENOSPC` came out as `ErrorKind::Other`.
Since I am familiar with Unix I reviwed the list of errno values in
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/errno.h.html
Here, I add those that most clearly seem to be needed.
`@CraftSpider` provided information about Windows, and references, which
I have tried to take into account.
This has to be insta-stable because we can't sensibly have a different
set of ErrorKinds depending on a std feature flag.
I have *not* added these to the mapping tables for any operating
systems other than Unix and Windows. I hope that it is OK to add them
now for Unix and Windows now, and maybe add them to other OS's mapping
tables as and when someone on that OS is able to consider the
situation.
I adopted the general principle that it was usually a bad idea to map
two distinct error values to the same Rust error code. I notice that
this principle is already violated in the case of `EACCES` and
`EPERM`, which both map to `PermissionDenied`. I think this was
probably a mistake but it would be quite hard to change now, so I
don't propose to do anything about that.
However, for Windows, there are sometimes different error codes for
identical situations. Eg there are WSA* versions of some error
codes as well as ERROR_* ones. Also Windows seems to have a great
many more erorr codes. I don't know precisely what best practice
would be for Windows.
```
<strike>
```
Errno values I wasn't sure about so *haven't* included:
EMFILE ENFILE ENOBUFS ENOLCK:
These are all fairly Unix-specific resource exhaustion situations.
In practice it seemed not very likely to me that anyone would want
to handle these differently to `Other`.
ENOMEM ERANGE EDOM EOVERFLOW
Normally these don't get exposed to the Rust callers I hope. They
don't tend to come out of filesystem APIs.
EILSEQ
Hopefully Rust libraries open files in binary mode and do the
converstion in Rust. So Rust code ought not to be exposed to
EILSEQ.
EIO
The range of things that could cause this is troublesome. I found
it difficult to describe. I do think it would be useful to add this
at some point, because EIO on a filesystem operation is much more
serious than most other errors.
ENETDOWN
I wasn't sure if this was useful or, indeed, if any modern systems
use it.
ENOEXEC
It is not clear to me how a Rust program could respond to this. It
seems rather niche.
EPROTO ENETRESET ENODATA ENOMSG ENOPROTOOPT ENOSR ENOSTR ETIME
ENOTRECOVERABLE EOWNERDEAD EBADMSG EPROTONOSUPPORT EPROTOTYPE EIDRM
These are network or STREAMS related errors which I have never in
my own Unix programming found the need to do anything with. I think
someone who understands these better should be the one to try to
find good Rust names and descriptions for them.
ENOTTY ENXIO ENODEV EOPNOTSUPP ESRCH EALREADY ECANCELED ECHILD
EINPROGRESS
These are very hard to get unless you're already doing something
very Unix-specific, in which case the raw_os_error interface is
probably more suitable than relying on the Rust ErrorKind mapping.
EFAULT EBADF
These would seem to be the result of application UB.

Now that arrays implement `IntoIterator`, using `&` is no longer necessary. This makes examples easier to understand.
Merge `sys_common::bytestring` back into `os_str_bytes`
`bytestring` contains code for correctly debug formatting a byte slice (`[u8]`). This functionality is and has historically only been used to provide the debug formatting of byte-based os-strings (on unix etc.).
Having this functionality in the separate `bytestring` module was useful in the past to reduce duplication, as [when it was added](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/46798) `os_str_bytes` was still split into `sys::{unix, redox, wasi, etc.}::os_str`. However, now that is no longer the case, there is not much reason for the `bytestring` functionality to be separate from `os_str_bytes`; I don't think it is very likely that another part of std will need to handle formatting byte strings that are not os-strings in the future (everything should be `utf8`). This is why this PR merges the functionality of `bytestring` directly into the debug implementation in `os_str_bytes`.
The `unsupported` type is imported two times, as `super::unsupported` and as `crate::sys::unsupported`, throwing an error. Remove `super::unsupported` in favor of the other.
Redefine `ErrorKind::Other` and stop using it in std.
This implements the idea I shared yesterday in the libs meeting when we were discussing how to handle adding new `ErrorKind`s to the standard library: This redefines `Other` to be for *user defined errors only*, and changes all uses of `Other` in the standard library to a `#[doc(hidden)]` and permanently `#[unstable]` `ErrorKind` that users can not match on. This ensures that adding `ErrorKind`s at a later point in time is not a breaking change, since the user couldn't match on these errors anyway. This way, we use the `#[non_exhaustive]` property of the enum in a more effective way.
Open questions:
- How do we check this change doesn't cause too much breakage? Will a crate run help and be enough?
- How do we ensure we don't accidentally start using `Other` again in the standard library? We don't have a `pub(not crate)` or `#[deprecated(in this crate only)]`.

For `HashSet` and `HashMap`, this simply copies the comment from
`BinaryHeap::retain`.
For `BTreeSet` and `BTreeMap`, this adds an additional guarantee that
wasn't previously documented. I think that because these data structures
are inherently ordered and other functions guarantee ordered iteration,
it makes sense to provide this guarantee for `retain` as well.
The omission of Sink: Default is causing me a slight inconvenience in
a test harness. There seems little reason for this and Empty not to

Add `io::Cursor::{remaining, remaining_slice, is_empty}`
Tracking issue: #86369
I came across an inconvenience when answering the following [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67831170) question.
To get the remaining slice you have to call `buff.fill_buf().unwrap()`. Which in my opinion doesn't really tell you what is returned (in the context of Cursor). To improve readability and convenience when using Cursor i propose adding the method `remaining`.
The next thing i found inconvenient (unnecessary long) was detecting if the cursor reached the end. There are a few ways this can be achieved right now:
- `buff.fill_buf().unwrap().is_empty()`
- `buff.position() >= buff.get_ref().len()`
- `buff.bytes().next().is_none()`
Which all seem a bit unintuitive, hidden in trait documentations or just a bit long for such a simple task.
Therefor i propose another method called `is_empty`, maybe with another name, since this one may leave room for interpretation on what really is empty (the underlying slice, the remaining slice or maybe the position).
Since it seemed easier to create this PR instead of an RFC i did that, if an RFC is wanted, i can close this PR and write an RFC first.

Add MIR pass to lower call to `core::slice::len` into `Len` operand
During some larger experiment with range analysis I've found that code like `let l = slice.len()` produces different MIR then one found in bound checks. This optimization pass replaces terminators that are calls to `core::slice::len` with just a MIR operand and Goto terminator.
It uses some heuristics to remove the outer borrow that is made to call `core::slice::len`, but I assume it can be eliminated, just didn't find how.

Move `OsStringExt` and `OsStrExt` to `std::os`
Moves the `OsStringExt` and `OsStrExt` traits and implementations from `sys_common` to `os`. `sys_common` is for abstractions over `sys` and shouldn't really contain publicly exported items.
This does introduce some duplication: the traits and implementations are now duplicated in `unix`, `wasi`, `hermit`, and `sgx`. However, I would argue that this duplication is no different to how something like `MetadataExt` is duplicated in `linux`, `vxworkx`, `redox`, `solaris` etc. The duplication also matches the fact that the traits on different platforms are technically distinct types: any platform is free to add it's own extra methods to the extension trait.

Linear interpolation
#71016 is a previous attempt at implementation that was closed by the author. I decided to reuse the feature request issue (#71015) as a tracking issue. A member of the rust-lang org will have to edit the original post to be formatted correctly as I am not the issue's original author.
The common name `lerp` is used because it is the term used by most code in a wide variety of contexts; it also happens to be the recently chosen name of the function that was added to C++20.
To ensure symmetry as a method, this breaks the usual ordering of the method from `lerp(a, b, t)` to `t.lerp(a, b)`. This makes the most sense to me personally, and there will definitely be discussion before stabilisation anyway.
Implementing lerp "correctly" is very dififcult even though it's a very common building-block used in all sorts of applications. A good prior reading is [this proposal](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p0811r2.html#linear-interpolation) for the C++20 lerp which talks about the various guarantees, which I've simplified down to:
1. Exactness: `(0.0).lerp(start, end) == start` and `(1.0).lerp(start, end) == end`
2. Consistency: `anything.lerp(x, x) == x`
3. Monotonicity: once you go up don't go down
Fun story: the version provided in that proposal, from what I understand, isn't actually monotonic.
I messed around with a *lot* of different lerp implementations because I kind of got a bit obsessed and I ultimately landed on one that uses the fused `mul_add` instruction. Floating-point lerp lore is hard to come by, so, just trust me when I say that this ticks all the boxes. I'm only 90% certain that it's monotonic, but I'm sure that people who care deeply about this will be there to discuss before stabilisation.
The main reason for using `mul_add` is that, in general, it ticks more boxes with fewer branches to be "correct." Although it will be slower on architectures without the fused `mul_add`, that's becoming more and more rare and I have a feeling that most people who will find themselves needing `lerp` will also have an efficient `mul_add` instruction available.

Book) and in the first paragraph which mentions the "object safe" requirement.
Personally, I think it's good to keep the link to the Book up-front as it's more
accessible than the Reference.
optimize Eq implementation for paths
Filesystems generally have a tree-ish structure which means paths are more likely to share a prefix than a suffix. Absolute paths are especially prone to share long prefixes.
quick benchmark consisting of a search through through a vec containing the absolute paths of all (1850) files in `compiler/`:
```
# old
test path::tests::bench_path_cmp ... bench: 227,407 ns/iter (+/- 2,162)
# new
test path::tests::bench_path_cmp ... bench: 64,976 ns/iter (+/- 1,142)

Remove `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_site_local`
Removes the unstable method `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_site_local`, see also #85604 where I have tried to summarize related discussion so far.
Unicast site-local addresses (`fec0::/10`) were deprecated in [IETF RFC #3879](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3879), see also [RFC #4291 Section 2.5.7](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.7). Any new implementation must no longer support the special behaviour of site-local addresses. This is mentioned in the docs of `is_unicast_site_local` and already implemented in `is_unicast_global`, which considers addresses in `fec0::/10` to have global scope, thus overlapping with `is_unicast_site_local`.
Given that RFC #3879 was published in 2004, long before Rust existed, and it is specified that any new implementation must no longer support the special behaviour of site-local addresses, I don't see how a user would ever have a need for `is_unicast_site_local`. It is also confusing that currently both `is_unicast_site_local` and `is_unicast_global` can be `true` for an address, but an address can actually only have a single scope. The deprecating RFC mentions that Site-Local scope was confusing to work with and that the classification of an address as either Link-Local or Global better matches the mental model of users.
There has been earlier discussion of removing `is_unicast_site_local` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/60145#issuecomment-485970669) which decided against it, but that had the incorrect assumption that the method was already stable; it is not. (This confusion arose from the placement of the unstable attribute on the entire module, instead of on individual methods, resolved in #85672)

Explain non-dropped sender recv in docs
Original senders that are still hanging around could cause
Receiver::recv to not block since this is a potential footgun
for beginners, clarify more on this in the docs for readers to
be aware about it.
Maybe it would be better to show an example of the pattern where `drop(tx)` is used when it is being cloned multiple times? Although I have seen it in quite a few articles but I am surprised that this part is not very clear with the current words without careful reading.
> If the corresponding Sender has disconnected, or it disconnects while this call is blocking, this call will wake up and return Err to indicate that no more messages can ever be received on this channel. However, since channels are buffered, messages sent before the disconnect will still be properly received.
Some words there may seemed similar if I carefully read and relate it but if I am new, I probably does not know "drop" makes it "disconnected". So I mention the words "drop" and "alive" to make it more relatable to lifetime.

Updated code examples and wording in move keyword documentation
Had a conversation with someone on the Rust Discord who was confused by the move keyword documentation. Some of the wording is odd sounding ("owned by value" - what else can something be owned by?). Also, some of the examples used Copy types when demonstrating move, leading to variables still being accessible in the outer scope after the move, contradicting the examples' comments.
I changed the move keyword documentation a bit, removing that odd wording and changing all the examples to use non-Copy types
Multiple improvements to RwLocks
This PR replicates #77147, #77380 and #84650 on RWLocks :
- Split `sys_common::RWLock` in `StaticRWLock` and `MovableRWLock`
- Unbox rwlocks on some platforms (Windows, Wasm and unsupported)
- Simplify `RwLock::into_inner`
Notes to reviewers :
- For each target, I copied `MovableMutex` to guess if `MovableRWLock` should be boxed.
- ~A comment says that `StaticMutex` is not re-entrant, I don't understand why and I don't know whether it applies to `StaticRWLock`.~

Add `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast`
Adds an unstable utility method `Ipv6Addr::is_unicast` under the feature flag `ip` (tracking issue: #27709).
Added for completeness with the other unicast methods (see also https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85604#issuecomment-848220455) and opposite of `is_multicast`.
Fix documentation style inconsistencies for IP addresses
Pulled out of #85655 as it is unrelated. Fixes some inconsistencies in the docs for IP addresses:
- Currently some addresses are backticked, some are not, this PR backticks everything consistently. (looks better imo)
- Lowercase hex-literals are used when writing addresses.
The "read more" sentence formatted "object safety" as inline code
instead of providing a link to more information. This PR adds a link
to the Reference about this matter, as well as the page regarding trait
objects.
Prior to this patch, the default panic message (resulting from calling
`panic_any(42);` for example), would print the following error message:
```
thread 'main' panicked at 'Box<Any>', ...
```
However, this should be `Box<dyn Any>` instead.
Possible errors when accessing file metadata are platform specific
In particular the `is_dir`, `is_file` and `exists` functions suggests that querying a file requires querying the directory. On Windows this is not normally true.

rustdoc: link to stable/beta docs consistently in documentation
This is an alternative to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/84941 which fixes the problem consistently by linking to stable/beta for *all* items, not just for primitives.
## User-facing changes
- Intra-doc links to primitives that currently go to rust-lang.org/nightly/std/primitive.x.html will start going to channel that rustdoc was built with. Nightly will continue going to /nightly; Beta will link to /beta; stable compilers will link to /1.52.1 (or whatever version they were built as).
- Cross-crate links from std to core currently go to /nightly unconditionally. They will start going to /1.52.0 on stable channels (but remain the same on nightly channels).
- Intra-crate links from std to std (or core to core) currently go to the same URL they are hosted at; they will continue to do so. Notably, this is different from everything else because it can preserve the distinction between /stable and /1.52.0 by using relative links.
Note that "links" includes both intra-doc links and rustdoc's own
automatically generated hyperlinks.
## Implementation changes
- Update the testsuite to allow linking to /beta and /1.52.1 in docs
- Use an html_root_url for the standard library that's dependent on the channel
This avoids linking to nightly docs on stable.
- Update rustdoc to use channel-dependent links for primitives from an
unknown crate
- Set DOC_RUST_LANG_ORG_CHANNEL from bootstrap to ensure it's in sync
- Include doc.rust-lang.org in the channel
cc Mark-Simulacrum - I know [you were dubious about this in the past](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general/topic/Rustdoc.20unconditionally.20links.20to.20nightly.20libstd.20docs/near/231223124), but I'm not quite sure why? I see this as "just a bugfix", I don't know why rustdoc should unconditionally link to nightly.

Add inline attr to CString::into_inner so it can optimize out NonNull checks
It seems that currently if you convert any of the standard library's container to a pointer and then to a NonNull pointer, all will optimize out the NULL check except `CString`(https://godbolt.org/z/YPKW9G5xn),
because for some reason `CString::into_inner` isn't inlined even though it's a private function that should compile into a simple `mov` instruction.
Adding a simple `#[inline]` attribute solves this, code example:
```rust
use std::ffi::CString;
use std::ptr::NonNull;
pub fn cstring_nonull(mut n: CString) -> NonNull<i8> {
NonNull::new(CString::into_raw(n)).unwrap()
}
```

MSVC: Avoid using jmp stubs for dll function imports
Windows import libraries contain two symbols for every function: `__imp_FunctionName` and `FunctionName` (where `FunctionName` is the name of the function to be imported).
`__imp_FunctionName` contains the address of the imported function. This will be filled in by the Windows executable loader at runtime. `FunctionName` contains a jmp stub that simply jumps to the address given by `__imp_FunctionName`. E.g. it's a function that solely contains a single jmp instruction:
```asm
jmp __imp_FunctionName
```
When using an external DLL function in Rust, by default the linker will link to FunctionName, causing a bit of indirection at runtime. In Microsoft's C++ it's possible to instead tell it to insert calls to the address in `__imp_FunctionName` by using the `__declspec(dllimport)` attribute. In Rust it's possible to get effectively the same behaviour using the `#[link]` attribute on `extern` blocks.
----
The second commit also merges multiple `extern` blocks into one block. This is because otherwise Rust will currently create duplicate linker arguments for each block. In this case having duplicates shouldn't matter much other than the noise when displaying the linker command.
Windows implementation of feature `path_try_exists`
Draft of a Windows implementation of `try_exists` (#83186).
The first commit reorganizes the code so I would be interested to get some feedback on if this is a good idea or not. It moves the `Path::try_exists` function to `fs::exists`. leaving the former as a wrapper for the latter. This makes it easier to provide platform specific implementations and matches the `fs::metadata` function.
The other commit implements a Windows specific variant of `exists`. I'm still figuring out my approach so this is very much a first draft. Eventually this will need some more eyes from knowledgable Windows people.
Clarify error returns from Mutex::try_lock, RwLock::try_read,
RwLock::try_write to make it more obvious that both poisoning
and the lock being already locked are possible errors.

# Stabilization report
## Summary
This stabilizes using macro expansion in key-value attributes, like so:
```rust
#[doc = include_str!("my_doc.md")]
struct S;
#[path = concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/generated.rs")]
mod m;
```
See the changes to the reference for details on what macros are allowed;
see Petrochenkov's excellent blog post [on internals](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/macro-expansion-points-in-attributes/11455)
for alternatives that were considered and rejected ("why accept no more
and no less?")
This has been available on nightly since 1.50 with no major issues.
## Notes
### Accepted syntax
The parser accepts arbitrary Rust expressions in this position, but any expression other than a macro invocation will ultimately lead to an error because it is not expected by the built-in expression forms (e.g., `#[doc]`). Note that decorators and the like may be able to observe other expression forms.
### Expansion ordering
Expansion of macro expressions in "inert" attributes occurs after decorators have executed, analogously to macro expressions appearing in the function body or other parts of decorator input.
There is currently no way for decorators to accept macros in key-value position if macro expansion must be performed before the decorator executes (if the macro can simply be copied into the output for later expansion, that can work).
## Test cases
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/attributes/key-value-expansion-on-mac.rs
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/rustdoc/external-doc.rs

## Unresolved Questions
~~https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/83366#issuecomment-805180738 listed some concerns, but they have been resolved as of this final report.~~
## Additional Information
There are two workarounds that have a similar effect for `#[doc]`
attributes on nightly. One is to emulate this behavior by using a limited version of this feature that was stabilized for historical reasons:
```rust
macro_rules! forward_inner_docs {
($e:expr => $i:item) => {
#[doc = $e]
$i
};
}
forward_inner_docs!(include_str!("lib.rs") => struct S {});
```
This also works for other attributes (like `#[path = concat!(...)]`).
The other is to use `doc(include)`:
```rust
#![feature(external_doc)]
#[doc(include = "lib.rs")]
struct S {}
```
The first works, but is non-trivial for people to discover, and
difficult to read and maintain. The second is a strange special-case for
a particular use of the macro. This generalizes it to work for any use
case, not just including files.
I plan to remove `doc(include)` when this is stabilized. The
`forward_inner_docs` workaround will still compile without warnings, but
I expect it to be used less once it's no longer necessary.
Simplify `cfg(any(unix, target_os="redox"))` in example to just `cfg(unix)`
Update example for `OsString` that handled `redox` seperately from `unix`: Redox has been completely integrated under `target_family="unix"`, so `cfg(unix)` implies `target_os="redox"`

Expand WASI abbreviation in docs
I was pretty sure this was related to something for WebAssembly but wasn't 100% sure so I checked but even on these top-level docs I couldn't find the abbreviation expanded. I'm normally used to Rust docs being detailed and explanatory and writing abbreviations like this out in full at least once so I thought it was worth the change. Feel free to close this if it's too much.
Do not allocate or unwind after fork
### Objective scenarios
* Make (simple) panics safe in `Command::pre_exec_hook`, including most `panic!` calls, `Option::unwrap`, and array bounds check failures.
* Make it possible to `libc::fork` and then safely panic in the child (needed for the above, but this requirement means exposing the new raw hook API which the `Command` implementation needs).
* In singlethreaded programs, where panic in `pre_exec_hook` is already memory-safe, prevent the double-unwinding malfunction #79740.
I think we want to make panic after fork safe even though the post-fork child environment is only experienced by users of `unsafe`, beause the subset of Rust in which any panic is UB is really far too hazardous and unnatural.
#### Approach
* Provide a way for a program to, at runtime, switch to having panics abort. This makes it possible to panic without making *any* heap allocations, which is needed because on some platforms malloc is UB in a child forked from a multithreaded program (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80263#issuecomment-774272370, and maybe also the SuS [spec](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fork.html)).
* Make that change in the child spawned by `Command`.
* Document the rules comprehensively enough that a programmer has a fighting chance of writing correct code.
* Test that this all works as expected (and in particular, that there aren't any heap allocations we missed)
Fixes#79740
#### Rejected (or previously attempted) approaches
* Change the panic machinery to be able to unwind without allocating, at least when the payload and message are both `'static`. This seems like it would be even more subtle. Also that is a potentially-hot path which I don't want to mess with.
* Change the existing panic hook mechanism to not convert the message to a `String` before calling the hook. This would be a surprising change for existing code and would not be detected by the type system.
* Provide a `raw_panic_hook` function to intercept panics in a way that doesn't allocate. (That was an earlier version of this MR.)
### History
This MR could be considered a v2 of #80263. Thanks to everyone who commented there. In particular, thanks to `@m-ou-se,` `@Mark-Simulacrum` and `@hyd-dev.` (Tagging you since I think you might be interested in this new MR.) Compared to #80263, this MR has very substantial changes and additions.
Additionally, I have recently (2021-04-20) completely revised this series following very helpful comments from `@m-ou-se.`
