Currently, constructing a waker requires calling the unsafe
`Waker::from_raw` API. This API requires the user to manually construct
a vtable for the waker themself - which is both cumbersome and very
error prone. This API would provide an ergonomic, straightforward and
guaranteed memory-safe way of constructing a waker.
It has been our longstanding intention that the `Waker` type essentially
function as an `Arc<dyn Wake>`, with a `Wake` trait as defined here. Two
considerations prevented the original API from being shipped as simply
an `Arc<dyn Wake>`:
- We want to support futures on embedded systems, which may not have an
allocator, and in optimized executors for which this API may not be
best-suited. Therefore, we have always explicitly supported the
maximally-flexible (but also memory-unsafe) `RawWaker` API, and
`Waker` has always lived in libcore.
- Because `Waker` lives in libcore and `Arc` lives in liballoc, it has
not been feasible to provide a constructor for `Waker` from `Arc<dyn
Wake>`.
Therefore, the Wake trait was left out of the initial version of the
task waker API.
However, as Rust 1.41, it is possible under the more flexible orphan
rules to implement `From<Arc<W>> for Waker where W: Wake` in liballoc.
Therefore, we can now define this constructor even though `Waker` lives
in libcore.
This PR adds these APIs:
- A `Wake` trait, which contains two methods
- A required method `wake`, which is called by `Waker::wake`
- A provided method `wake_by_ref`, which is called by
`Waker::wake_by_ref` and which implementors can override if they
can optimize this use case.
- An implementation of `From<Arc<W>> for Waker where W: Wake + Send +
Sync + 'static`
- A similar implementation of `From<Arc<W>> for RawWaker`.

Add Wake trait for safe construction of Wakers.

…atthewjasper Make `needs_drop` less pessimistic on generators Generators only have non-trivial drop logic when they may store (in upvars or across yields) a type that does. This prevents generation of some unnecessary MIR in simple generators. There might be some impact on compile times, but this is probably limited in real-world applications. ~~This builds off of rust-lang#69814 since that contains some fixes that are made relevant by *this* PR (see rust-lang#69814 (comment) (this has been merged)
rustc_mir: remove extra space when pretty-printing MIR.
Add test for issue rust-lang#53275 Fixes rust-lang#53275
add err_machine_stop macro We have that for all other error kinds, but here I somehow forgot it. r? @oli-obk
Rename remaining occurences of Void to Opaque. Two mentions of the type were missed when the type was renamed.
Split long derive lists into two derive attributes.
