//! Inplace iterate-and-collect specialization for `Vec` | ||
//! | ||
//! Note: This documents Vec internals, some of the following sections explain implementation | ||
//! details and are best read together with the source of this module. | ||
//! | ||
//! The specialization in this module applies to iterators in the shape of | ||
//! `source.adapter().adapter().adapter().collect::<Vec<U>>()` | ||
//! where `source` is an owning iterator obtained from [`Vec<T>`], [`Box<[T]>`][box] (by conversion to `Vec`) | ||
//! or [`BinaryHeap<T>`], the adapters each consume one or more items per step | ||
//! (represented by [`InPlaceIterable`]), provide transitive access to `source` (via [`SourceIter`]) | ||
//! and thus the underlying allocation. And finally the layouts of `T` and `U` must | ||
//! have the same size and alignment, this is currently ensured via const eval instead of trait bounds | ||
//! in the specialized [`SpecFromIter`] implementation. | ||
//! | ||
//! [`BinaryHeap<T>`]: crate::collections::BinaryHeap | ||
//! [box]: crate::boxed::Box | ||
//! | ||
//! By extension some other collections which use `collect::<Vec<_>>()` internally in their | ||
//! `FromIterator` implementation benefit from this too. | ||
//! | ||
//! Access to the underlying source goes through a further layer of indirection via the private | ||
//! trait [`AsVecIntoIter`] to hide the implementation detail that other collections may use | ||
//! `vec::IntoIter` internally. | ||
//! | ||
//! In-place iteration depends on the interaction of several unsafe traits, implementation | ||
//! details of multiple parts in the iterator pipeline and often requires holistic reasoning | ||
//! across multiple structs since iterators are executed cooperatively rather than having | ||
//! a central evaluator/visitor struct executing all iterator components. | ||
//! | ||
//! # Reading from and writing to the same allocation | ||
//! | ||
//! By its nature collecting in place means that the reader and writer side of the iterator | ||
//! use the same allocation. Since `try_fold()` (used in [`SpecInPlaceCollect`]) takes a | ||
//! reference to the iterator for the duration of the iteration that means we can't interleave | ||
//! the step of reading a value and getting a reference to write to. Instead raw pointers must be | ||
//! used on the reader and writer side. | ||
//! | ||
//! That writes never clobber a yet-to-be-read item is ensured by the [`InPlaceIterable`] requirements. | ||
//! | ||
//! # Layout constraints | ||
//! | ||
//! [`Allocator`] requires that `allocate()` and `deallocate()` have matching alignment and size. | ||
//! Additionally this specialization doesn't make sense for ZSTs as there is no reallocation to | ||
//! avoid and it would make pointer arithmetic more difficult. | ||
//! | ||
//! [`Allocator`]: core::alloc::Allocator | ||
//! | ||
//! # Drop- and panic-safety | ||
//! | ||
//! Iteration can panic, requiring dropping the already written parts but also the remainder of | ||
//! the source. Iteration can also leave some source items unconsumed which must be dropped. | ||
//! All those drops in turn can panic which then must either leak the allocation or abort to avoid | ||
//! double-drops. | ||
//! | ||
//! This is handled by the [`InPlaceDrop`] guard for sink items (`U`) and by | ||
//! [`vec::IntoIter::forget_allocation_drop_remaining()`] for remaining source items (`T`). | ||
//! | ||
//! [`vec::IntoIter::forget_allocation_drop_remaining()`]: super::IntoIter::forget_allocation_drop_remaining() | ||
//! | ||
//! # O(1) collect | ||
//! | ||
//! The main iteration itself is further specialized when the iterator implements | ||
//! [`TrustedRandomAccessNoCoerce`] to let the optimizer see that it is a counted loop with a single | ||
//! [induction variable]. This can turn some iterators into a noop, i.e. it reduces them from O(n) to | ||
//! O(1). This particular optimization is quite fickle and doesn't always work, see [#79308] | ||
//! | ||
//! [#79308]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79308 | ||
//! [induction variable]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_variable | ||
//! | ||
//! Since unchecked accesses through that trait do not advance the read pointer of `IntoIter` | ||
//! this would interact unsoundly with the requirements about dropping the tail described above. | ||
//! But since the normal `Drop` implementation of `IntoIter` would suffer from the same problem it | ||
//! is only correct for `TrustedRandomAccessNoCoerce` to be implemented when the items don't | ||
//! have a destructor. Thus that implicit requirement also makes the specialization safe to use for | ||
//! in-place collection. | ||
//! Note that this safety concern is about the correctness of `impl Drop for IntoIter`, | ||
//! not the guarantees of `InPlaceIterable`. | ||
//! | ||
//! # Adapter implementations | ||
//! | ||
//! The invariants for adapters are documented in [`SourceIter`] and [`InPlaceIterable`], but | ||
//! getting them right can be rather subtle for multiple, sometimes non-local reasons. | ||
//! For example `InPlaceIterable` would be valid to implement for [`Peekable`], except | ||
//! that it is stateful, cloneable and `IntoIter`'s clone implementation shortens the underlying | ||
//! allocation which means if the iterator has been peeked and then gets cloned there no longer is | ||
//! enough room, thus breaking an invariant ([#85322]). | ||
//! | ||
//! [#85322]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85322 | ||
//! [`Peekable`]: core::iter::Peekable | ||
//! | ||
//! | ||
//! # Examples | ||
//! | ||
//! Some cases that are optimized by this specialization, more can be found in the `Vec` | ||
//! benchmarks: | ||
//! | ||
//! ```rust | ||
//! # #[allow(dead_code)] | ||
//! /// Converts a usize vec into an isize one. | ||
//! pub fn cast(vec: Vec<usize>) -> Vec<isize> { | ||
//! // Does not allocate, free or panic. On optlevel>=2 it does not loop. | ||
//! // Of course this particular case could and should be written with `into_raw_parts` and | ||
//! // `from_raw_parts` instead. | ||
//! vec.into_iter().map(|u| u as isize).collect() | ||
//! } | ||
//! ``` | ||
//! | ||
//! ```rust | ||
//! # #[allow(dead_code)] | ||
//! /// Drops remaining items in `src` and if the layouts of `T` and `U` match it | ||
//! /// returns an empty Vec backed by the original allocation. Otherwise it returns a new | ||
//! /// empty vec. | ||
//! pub fn recycle_allocation<T, U>(src: Vec<T>) -> Vec<U> { | ||
//! src.into_iter().filter_map(|_| None).collect() | ||
//! } | ||
//! ``` | ||
//! | ||
//! ```rust | ||
//! let vec = vec![13usize; 1024]; | ||
//! let _ = vec.into_iter() | ||
//! .enumerate() | ||
//! .filter_map(|(idx, val)| if idx % 2 == 0 { Some(val+idx) } else {None}) | ||
//! .collect::<Vec<_>>(); | ||
//! | ||
//! // is equivalent to the following, but doesn't require bounds checks | ||
//! | ||
//! let mut vec = vec![13usize; 1024]; | ||
//! let mut write_idx = 0; | ||
//! for idx in 0..vec.len() { | ||
//! if idx % 2 == 0 { | ||
//! vec[write_idx] = vec[idx] + idx; | ||
//! write_idx += 1; | ||
//! } | ||
//! } | ||
//! vec.truncate(write_idx); | ||
