setup typos check in CI
This allows to check typos in CI, currently for compiler only (to reduce commit size with fixes). With current setup, exclude list is quite short, so it worth trying?
Also includes commits with actual typo fixes.
MCP: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/817
typos check currently turned for:
* ./compiler
* ./library
* ./src/bootstrap
* ./src/librustdoc
After merging, PRs which enables checks for other crates (tools) can be implemented too.
Found typos will **not break** other jobs immediately: (tests, building compiler for perf run). Job will be marked as red on completion in ~ 20 secs, so you will not forget to fix it whenever you want, before merging pr.
Check typos: `python x.py test tidy --extra-checks=spellcheck`
Apply typo fixes: `python x.py test tidy --extra-checks=spellcheck:fix` (in case if there only 1 suggestion of each typo)
Current fail in this pr is expected and shows how typo errors emitted. Commit with error will be removed after r+.
It uses the file metadata on Unix with a fallback for files incorrectly
reported as zero-sized. It uses `GetFileSizeEx` on Windows.
This reduces the number of syscalls needed for determining the file size
of an open file from 3 to 1.
In the previous description it said there was a TOCTOU race but did not
explain exactly what the problem was. I sat down with the CVE, reviewed
its text, and created this explanation. This context should hopefully
help people understand the actual risk as-such.
Incidentally, it also fixes the capitalization on the name of Redox OS.
doc(std): fix typo lchown -> lchmod
chown is irrelevant here, as this function does not affect file ownership. chmod is the correct function to reference here.
std: mention `remove_dir_all` can emit `DirectoryNotEmpty` when concurrently written into
Closes#139958
The current documentation for `std::fs::remove_dir_all` function does not explicitly mention the error types that may be returned in concurrent scenarios. Specifically, when one thread attempts to remove a directory tree while another thread simultaneously writes files to that directory, the function may return an `io::ErrorKind::DirectoryNotEmpty` error, but this behavior is not clearly mentioned in the current documentation.

Start using `with_native_path` in `std::sys::fs`
Ideally, each platform should use their own native path type internally. This will, for example, allow passing a `CStr` directly to `std::fs::File::open` and therefore avoid the need for allocating a new null-terminated C string.
However, doing that for every function and platform all at once makes for a large PR that is way too prone to breaking. So this PR does some minimal refactoring which should help progress towards that goal. The changes are Unix-only and even then I avoided functions that require more changes so that this PR is just moving things around.
r? joboet
Slightly reformat `std::fs::remove_dir_all` error docs
To make the error cases easier to spot on a quick glance, as I've been bitten by this a couple of times already 💀
cc #137230.
Add a bullet point to `std::fs::copy`
I needed to copy a file but I got the following error:
```
Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }
```
After read the documentation, I though the error was generated by the `from` parameter, forgetting the `to` part. Anyway, I got the error because the parent folder of `to` didn't exist.
Even if the documentation explicitly saying `but is not limited to just these cases`, I would like to add this case because I spent 3 hours around it.
This PR just wants to put a mention about it.
Locking documentation updates
- Reword file lock documentation to clarify advisory vs mandatory. Remove the
word "advisory", and make it more explicit that the lock may be advisory or
mandatory depending on platform.
- Document that locking a file fails on Windows if the file is opened only for append
Improve examples for file locking
The `lock` and `try_lock` documentation states that "if the file not open for writing, it is unspecified whether this function returns an error." With this change, the examples use `File::create` instead of `File::open`, eliminating the possibility of someone blindly copying code with unspecified behavior.
Windows: remove readonly files
When calling `remove_file`, we shouldn't fail to delete readonly files. As the test makes clear, this make the Windows behaviour consistent with other platforms. This also makes us internally consistent with `remove_dir_all`.
