Stabilize `new_zeroed_alloc`
The corresponding `new_uninit` and `new_uninit_slice` functions were stabilized in rust-lang/rust#129401, but the zeroed counterparts were left for later out of a [desire](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63291#issuecomment-2161039756) to stabilize only the minimal set. These functions are straightforward mirrors of the uninit functions and well-established. Since no blockers or design questions have surfaced in the past year, I think it's time to stabilize them.
Tracking issue: rust-lang/rust#129396
This reverts commit 7ce620dd7c6fc3371290b40a1ea28146f0d37031.
The const-hacks introduces bugs, and they make the code harder to maintain.
Let's wait until we can constify these functions without changing their implementation.
std: optimize `dlsym!` macro and add a test for it
The `dlsym!` macro always ensures that the name string is nul-terminated, so there is no need to perform the check at runtime. Also, acquire loads are generally faster than a load and a barrier, so use them. This is only false in the case where the symbol is missing, but that shouldn't matter too much.
Add `__isPlatformVersionAtLeast` and `__isOSVersionAtLeast` symbols
## Motivation
When Objective-C code uses ```@available(...)`,`` Clang inserts a call to [`__isPlatformVersionAtLeast`](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/llvmorg-20.1.0/compiler-rt/lib/builtins/os_version_check.c#L276) (`__isOSVersionAtLeast` in older Clang versions). These symbols not being available sometimes ends up causing linker errors. See the new test `tests/run-make/apple-c-available-links` for a minimal reproducer.
The workaround is to link `libclang_rt.osx.a`, see e.g. https://github.com/alexcrichton/curl-rust/issues/279. But that's very difficult for users to figure out (and the backreferences to that issue indicates that people are still running into this in their own projects every so often).
For another recent example, this is preventing `rustc` from using LLVM assertions on macOS, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/62592#issuecomment-510670657 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134275#issuecomment-2543067830.
It is also a blocker for [setting the correct minimum OS version in `cc-rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/136113), since fixing this in `cc-rs` might end up introducing linker errors in places where we weren't before (by default, if using e.g. ```@available(macos`` 10.15, *)`, the symbol usually happens to be left out, since `clang` defaults to compiling for the host macOS version, and thus things _seem_ to work - but the availability check actually compiles down to nothing, which is a huge correctness footgun for running on older OSes).
(My super secret evil agenda is also to expose some variant of ```@available``` in Rust's `std` after https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3750 progresses further, will probably file an ACP for this later. But I believe this PR has value regardless of those future plans, since we'd be making C/Objective-C/Swift interop easier).
## Solution
Implement `__isPlatformVersionAtLeast` and `__isOSVersionAtLeast` as part of the "public ABI" that `std` exposes.
**This is insta-stable**, in the same sense that additions to `compiler-builtins` are insta-stable, though the availability of these symbols can probably be considered a "quality of implementation" detail rather than a stable promise.
I originally proposed to implement this in `compiler-builtins`, see https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-builtins/pull/794, but we discussed moving it to `std` instead ([Zulip thread](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/219381-t-libs/topic/Provide.20.60__isPlatformVersionAtLeast.60.20in.20.60std.60.3F/with/507880717)), which makes the implementation substantially simpler, and we avoid gnarly issues with requiring the user to link `libSystem.dylib` (since `std` unconditionally does that).
Note that this does not solve the linker errors for (pure) `#![no_std]` users, but that's _probably_ fine, if you are using ```@available``` to test the OS version on Apple platforms, you're likely also using `std` (and it is still possible to work around by linking `libclang_rt.*.a`).
A thing to note about the implementation, I've choosen to stray a bit from LLVM's upstream implementation, and not use `_availability_version_check` since [it has problems when compiling with an older SDK](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/64227). Instead, we use `sysctl kern.osproductversion` when available to still avoid the costly PList lookup in most cases, but still with a fall back to the PList lookup when that is not available (with the PList fallback being is similar to LLVM's implementation).
## Testing
Apple has a lot of different "modes" that they can run binaries in, which can be a bit difficult to find your bearings in, but I've tried to be as thorough as I could in testing them all.
Tested using roughly the equivalent of `./x test library/std -- platform_version` on the following configurations:
- macOS 14.7.3 on a Macbook Pro M2
- `aarch64-apple-darwin`
- `x86_64-apple-darwin` (under Rosetta)
- `aarch64-apple-ios-macabi`
- `x86_64-apple-ios-macabi` (under Rosetta)
- `aarch64-apple-ios` (using Xcode's "Designed for iPad" setting)
- `aarch64-apple-ios-sim` (in iOS Simulator, as iPhone with iOS 17.5)
- `aarch64-apple-ios-sim` (in iOS Simulator, as iPad with iOS 18.2)
- `aarch64-apple-tvos-sim` (in tvOS Simulator)
- `aarch64-apple-watchos-sim` (in watchOS Simulator)
- `aarch64-apple-ios-sim` (in visionOS simulator, using Xcode's "Designed for iPad" setting)
- `aarch64-apple-visionos-sim` (in visionOS Simulator)
- macOS 15.3.1 VM
- `aarch64-apple-darwin`
- `aarch64-apple-ios-macabi`
- macOS 10.12.6 on an Intel Macbook from 2013
- `x86_64-apple-darwin`
- `i686-apple-darwin`
- `x86_64-apple-ios` (in iOS Simulator)
- iOS 9.3.6 on a 1st generation iPad Mini
- `armv7-apple-ios` with an older compiler
Along with manually inspecting the output of `version_from_sysctl()` and `version_from_plist()`, and verifying that they actually match what's expected.
I believe the only real omissions here would be:
- `aarch64-apple-ios` on a newer iPhone that has `sysctl` available (iOS 11.4 or above).
- `aarch64-apple-ios` on a Vision Pro using Xcode's "Designed for iPad" setting.
But I don't have the hardware available to test those.

Constify conversion traits (part 1)
This is the first part of rust-lang/rust#144289 being split into smaller pieces. It adds/moves constness of several traits under the `const_convert` feature:
* `From`
* `Into`
* `TryFrom`
* `TryInto`
* `FromStr`
* `AsRef`
* `AsMut`
* `Borrow`
* `BorrowMut`
* `Deref`
* `DerefMut`
There are a few methods that are intrinsically tied to these traits which I've included in the feature. Particularly, those which are wrappers over `AsRef`:
* `ByteStr::new` (unstable under `bstr` feature)
* `OsStr::new`
* `Path::new`
Those which directly use `Into`:
* `Result::into_ok`
* `Result::into_err`
And those which use `Deref` and `DerefMut`:
* `Pin::as_ref`
* `Pin::as_mut`
* `Pin::as_deref_mut`
* `Option::as_deref`
* `Option::as_deref_mut`
* `Result::as_deref`
* `Result::as_deref_mut`
(note: the `Option` and `Result` methods were suggested by ``@npmccallum`` initially as rust-lang/rust#146101)
The parts which are missing from this PR are:
* Anything that involves heap-allocated types
* Making any method const than the ones listed above
* Anything that could rely on the above, *or* could rely on system-specific code for `OsStr` or `Path` (note: this mostly makes these methods useless since `str` doesn't implement `AsRef<OsStr>` yet, but it's better to track the method for now and add impls later, IMHO)

stabilize c-style varargs for sysv64, win64, efiapi, aapcs
This has been split up so the PR now only contains the extended_varargs_abi_support stabilization; "system" has been moved to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145954.
**Previous (combined) PR description:**
This stabilizes extern block declarations of variadic functions with the system, sysv64, win64, efiapi, aapcs ABIs. This corresponds to the extended_varargs_abi_support and extern_system_varargs feature gates.
The feature gates were split up since it seemed like there might be further discussion needed for what exactly "system" ABI variadic functions should do, but a [consensus](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/136946#issuecomment-2967847553) has meanwhile been reached: they shall behave like "C" functions. IOW, the ABI of a "system" function is (bold part is new in this PR):
- "stdcall" for win32 targets **for non-variadic functions**
- "C" for everything else
This had been previously stabilized *without FCP* in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116161, which got reverted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/136897. There was also a "fun" race condition involved with the system ABI being [added](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119587) to the list of variadic-supporting ABIs between the creation and merge of rust-lang/rust#116161.
There was a question raised [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116161#issuecomment-1983829513) whether t-lang even needs to be involved for a change like this. Not sure if that has meanwhile been clarified? The behavior of the "system" ABI (a Rust-specific ABI) definitely feels like t-lang territory to me.

# Stabilization report
> ## General design
> ### What is the RFC for this feature and what changes have occurred to the user-facing design since the RFC was finalized?
AFAIK there is no RFC. The tracking issues are
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/100189
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/136946
> ### What behavior are we committing to that has been controversial? Summarize the major arguments pro/con.
The only controversial point is whether "system" ABI functions should support variadics.
- Pro: This allows crates like windows-rs to consistently use "system", see e.g. https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/issues/3626.
- Cons: `@workingjubilee` had some implementation concerns, but I think those have been [resolved](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/136946#issuecomment-2967847553). EDIT: turns out Jubilee still has concerns (she mentioned that in a DM); I'll let her express those.
Note that "system" is already a magic ABI we introduced to "do the right thing". This just makes it do the right thing in more cases. In particular, it means that on Windows one can almost always just do
```rust
extern "system" {
// put all the things here
}
```
and it'll do the right thing, rather than having to split imports into non-varargs and varargs, with the varargs in a separate `extern "C"` block (and risking accidentally putting a non-vararg there).
(I am saying "almost" always because some Windows API functions actually use cdecl, not stdcall, on x86. Those of course need to go in `extern "C"` blocks.)
> ### Are there extensions to this feature that remain unstable? How do we know that we are not accidentally committing to those?
Actually defining variadic functions in Rust remains unstable, under the [c_variadic feature gate](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44930).
> ## Has a Call for Testing period been conducted? If so, what feedback was received?
>
> Does any OSS nightly users use this feature? For instance, a useful indication might be "search <grep.app> for `#![feature(FEATURE_NAME)]` and had `N` results".
There was no call for testing.
A search brings up https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs/blob/main/uefi-raw/src/table/boot.rs using this for "efiapi". This doesn't seem widely used, but it is an "obvious" gap in our support for c-variadics.
> ## Implementation quality
All rustc does here is forward the ABI to LLVM so there's lot a lot to say here...
> ### Summarize the major parts of the implementation and provide links into the code (or to PRs)
>
> An example for async closures: <https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/coroutine-closures.html>.
The check for allowed variadic ABIs is [here](9c870d30e2/compiler/rustc_hir_analysis/src/lib.rs (L109-L126)).
The special handling of "system" is [here](c24914ec83/compiler/rustc_target/src/spec/abi_map.rs (L82-L85)).

Prior PRs add a codegen test for all ABIs and tests actually calling extern variadic functions for sysv64 and win64:
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144359
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144379
We don't have a way of executing uefi target code in the test suite, so it's unclear how to fully test efiapi. aapcs could probably be done? (But note that we have hardly an such actually-calling-functions tests for ABI things, we almost entirely rely on codegen tests.)
The test ensuring that we do *not* stabilize *defining* c-variadic functions is `tests/ui/feature-gates/feature-gate-c_variadic.rs`.
> ### What outstanding bugs in the issue tracker involve this feature? Are they stabilization-blocking?
None that I am aware of.
> ### What FIXMEs are still in the code for that feature and why is it ok to leave them there?
None that I am aware of.
> ### Summarize contributors to the feature by name for recognition and assuredness that people involved in the feature agree with stabilization
`@Soveu` added sysv64, win64, efiapi, aapcs to the list of ABIs that allow variadics, `@beepster4096` added system. `@workingjubilee` recently refactored the ABI handling in the compiler, also affecting this feature.
> ### Which tools need to be adjusted to support this feature. Has this work been done?
>
> Consider rustdoc, clippy, rust-analyzer, rustfmt, rustup, docs.rs.
Maybe RA needs to be taught about the new allowed ABIs? No idea how precisely they mirror what exactly rustc accepts and rejects here.
> ## Type system and execution rules
> ### What compilation-time checks are done that are needed to prevent undefined behavior?
>
> (Be sure to link to tests demonstrating that these tests are being done.)
Nothing new here, this just expands the existing support for calling variadic functions to more ABIs.
> ### Does the feature's implementation need checks to prevent UB or is it sound by default and needs opt in in places to perform the dangerous/unsafe operations? If it is not sound by default, what is the rationale?
Nothing new here, this just expands the existing support for calling variadic functions to more ABIs.
> ### Can users use this feature to introduce undefined behavior, or use this feature to break the abstraction of Rust and expose the underlying assembly-level implementation? (Describe.)
Nothing new here, this just expands the existing support for calling variadic functions to more ABIs.
> ### What updates are needed to the reference/specification? (link to PRs when they exist)
- https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/1936
> ## Common interactions
> ### Does this feature introduce new expressions and can they produce temporaries? What are the lifetimes of those temporaries?
No.
> ### What other unstable features may be exposed by this feature?
None.
Move WTF-8 code from std into core and alloc
This is basically a small portion of rust-lang/rust#129411 with a smaller scope. It *does not*\* affect any public APIs; this code is still internal to the standard library. It just moves the WTF-8 code into `core` and `alloc` so it can be accessed by `no_std` crates like `backtrace`.
> \* The only public API this affects is by adding a `Debug` implementation to `std::os::windows::ffi::EncodeWide`, which was not present before. This is due to the fact that `core` requires `Debug` implementations for all types, but `std` does not (yet) require this. Even though this was ultimately changed to be a wrapper over the original type, not a re-export, I decided to keep the `Debug` implementation so it remains useful.
Like we do with ordinary strings, the tests are still located entirely in `alloc`, rather than splitting them into `core` and `alloc`.

Reviewer note: for ease of review, this is split into three commits:
1. Moving the original files into their new "locations"
2. Actually modifying the code to compile.
3. Removing aesthetic changes that were made so that the diff for commit 2 was readable.
You can review commits 1 and 3 to verify these claims, but commit 2 contains the majority of the changes you should care about.

Remove the `From` derive macro from prelude
The new `#[derive(From)]` functionality (implemented in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144922) caused name resolution ambiguity issues (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/145524). The reproducer looks e.g. like this:
```rust
mod foo {
pub use derive_more::From;
}
use foo::*;
#[derive(From)] // ERROR: `From` is ambiguous
struct S(u32);
```
It's pretty unfortunate that it works like this, but I guess that there's not much to be done here, and we'll have to wait for the next edition to put the `From` macro into the prelude. That will probably require https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139493 to land.
I created a new module in core (and re-exported it in std) called `from`, where I re-exported the `From` macro. I *think* that since this is a new module, it should not have the same backwards incompatibility issue.
Happy to hear suggestions about the naming - maybe it would make sense as `core::macros::from::From`? But we already had a precedent in the `core::assert_matches` module, so I just followed suit.

library: Migrate from `cfg_if` to `cfg_select`
Migrate the standard library from using the external `cfg_if` crate to using the now-built-in `cfg_select` macro.
This does not yet eliminate the dependency from `library/std/Cargo.toml`, because while the standard library itself no longer uses `cfg_if`, it also incorporates the `backtrace` crate, which does.
Migration assisted by the following vim command (after selecting the full `cfg_if!` invocation):
```
'<,'>s/\(cfg_if::\)\?cfg_if/cfg_select/ | '<,'>s/^\( *\)} else {/\1}\r\1_ => {/c | '<,'>s/^\( *\)} else if #\[cfg(\(.*\))\] /\1}\r\1\2 => /e | '<,'>s/if #\[cfg(\(.*\))\] {/\1 => {/e
```
This is imperfect, but substantially accelerated the process. This prompts for confirmation on the `} else {` since that can also appear inside one of the arms. This also requires manual intervention to handle any multi-line conditions.

Add `cast_init` and `cast_uninit` methods for pointers

This includes an incredibly low-effort search to find uses that could be switched to using these methods. I only searched for `cast::<\w>` and `cast::<MaybeUninit` because there would otherwise be way too much to look through, and I also didn't modify anything inside submodules/subtrees.
Add `core::mem::DropGuard`
## 1.0 Summary
This PR introduces a new type `core::mem::DropGuard` which wraps a value and runs a closure when the value is dropped.
```rust
use core::mem::DropGuard;
// Create a new guard around a string that will
// print its value when dropped.
let s = String::from("Chashu likes tuna");
let mut s = DropGuard::new(s, |s| println!("{s}"));
// Modify the string contained in the guard.
s.push_str("!!!");
// The guard will be dropped here, printing:
// "Chashu likes tuna!!!"
```
## 2.0 Motivation
A number of programming languages include constructs like `try..finally` or `defer` to run code as the last piece of a particular sequence, regardless of whether an error occurred. This is typically used to clean up resources, like closing files, freeing memory, or unlocking resources. In Rust we use the `Drop` trait instead, allowing us to [never having to manually close sockets](https://blog.skylight.io/rust-means-never-having-to-close-a-socket/).
While `Drop` (and RAII in general) has been working incredibly well for Rust in general, sometimes it can be a little verbose to setup. In particular when upholding invariants are local to functions, having a quick inline way to setup an `impl Drop` can be incredibly convenient. We can see this in use in the Rust stdlib, which has a number of private `DropGuard` impls used internally:
- [library/alloc/src/vec/drain.rs](9982d6462b/library/alloc/src/vec/drain.rs (L177))
- [library/alloc/src/boxed/thin.rs](9982d6462b/library/alloc/src/boxed/thin.rs (L362))
- [library/alloc/src/slice.rs](9982d6462b/library/alloc/src/slice.rs (L413))
- [library/alloc/src/collections/linked_list.rs](9982d6462b/library/alloc/src/collections/linked_list.rs (L1135))
- [library/alloc/src/collections/binary_heap/mod.rs](9982d6462b/library/alloc/src/collections/binary_heap/mod.rs (L1816))
- [library/alloc/src/collections/btree/map.rs](9982d6462b/library/alloc/src/collections/btree/map.rs (L1715))
- [library/alloc/src/collections/vec_deque/drain.rs](9982d6462b/library/alloc/src/collections/vec_deque/drain.rs (L95))
- [library/alloc/src/vec/into_iter.rs](9982d6462b/library/alloc/src/vec/into_iter.rs (L488))
- [library/std/src/os/windows/process.rs](9982d6462b/library/std/src/os/windows/process.rs (L320))
- [tests/ui/process/win-proc-thread-attributes.rs](9982d6462b/tests/ui/process/win-proc-thread-attributes.rs (L17))
## 3.0 Design
This PR implements what can be considered about the simplest possible design:
1. A single type `DropGuard` which takes both a generic type `T` and a closure `F`.
2. `Deref` + `DerefMut` impls to make it easy to work with the `T` in the guard.
3. An `impl Drop` on the guard which calls the closure `F` on drop.
4. An inherent `fn into_inner` which takes the type `T` out of the guard without calling the closure `F`.
Notably this design does not allow divergent behavior based on the type of drop that has occurred. The [`scopeguard` crate](https://docs.rs/scopeguard/latest/scopeguard/index.html) includes additional `on_success` and `on_onwind` variants which can be used to branch on unwind behavior instead. However [in a lot of cases](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/143612#issuecomment-3053928328) this doesn’t seem necessary, and using the arm/disarm pattern seems to provide much the same functionality:
```rust
let guard = DropGuard::new((), |s| ...); // 1. Arm the guard
other_function(); // 2. Perform operations
guard.into_inner(); // 3. Disarm the guard
```
`DropGuard` combined with this pattern seems like it should cover the vast majority of use cases for quick, inline destructors. It certainly seems like it should cover all existing uses in the stdlib, as well as all existing uses in crates like [hashbrown](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Arust-lang%2Fhashbrown%20guard&type=code).
## 4.0 Acknowledgements
This implementation is based on the [mini-scopeguard crate](https://github.com/yoshuawuyts/mini-scopeguard) which in turn is based on the [scopeguard crate](https://docs.rs/scopeguard). The implementations only differ superficially; because of the nature of the problem there is only really one obvious way to structure the solution. And the scopeguard crate got that right!
## 5.0 Conclusion
This PR adds a new type `core::mem::DropGuard` to the stdlib which adds a small convenience helper to create inline destructors with. This would bring the majority of the functionality of the `scopeguard` crate into the stdlib, which is the [49th most downloaded crate](https://crates.io/crates?sort=downloads) on crates.io (387 million downloads).
Given the actual implementation of `DropGuard` is only around 60 lines, it seems to hit that sweet spot of low-complexity / high-impact that makes for a particularly efficient stdlib addition. Which is why I’m putting this forward for consideration; thanks!

This macro has been superseded by the more recent `${concat(...)}`

assert(#ident_to_str[use_mention_distinction]
== "use_mention_distinction");
(That test existed from introduction until its removal here.)
