/// The boolean type.
///
/// The `bool` represents a value, which could only be either `true` or `false`. If you cast
/// a `bool` into an integer, `true` will be 1 and `false` will be 0.
///
/// # Basic usage
///
/// `bool` implements various traits, such as [`BitAnd`], [`BitOr`], [`Not`], etc.,
/// which allow us to perform boolean operations using `&`, `|` and `!`.
///
/// `if` requires a `bool` value as its conditional. [`assert!`], which is an
/// important macro in testing, checks whether an expression is `true` and panics
/// if it isn't.
///
/// ```
/// let bool_val = true & false | false;
/// assert!(!bool_val);
/// ```
///
/// [`BitAnd`]: ops::BitAnd
/// [`BitOr`]: ops::BitOr
/// [`Not`]: ops::Not
///
/// # Examples
///
/// A trivial example of the usage of `bool`:
///
/// ```
/// let praise_the_borrow_checker = true;
///
/// // using the `if` conditional
/// if praise_the_borrow_checker {
///     println!("oh, yeah!");
/// } else {
///     println!("what?!!");
/// }
///
/// // ... or, a match pattern
/// match praise_the_borrow_checker {
///     true => println!("keep praising!"),
///     false => println!("you should praise!"),
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Also, since `bool` implements the [`Copy`] trait, we don't
/// have to worry about the move semantics (just like the integer and float primitives).
///
/// Now an example of `bool` cast to integer type:
///
/// ```
/// assert_eq!(true as i32, 1);
/// assert_eq!(false as i32, 0);
/// ```

#[doc(primitive = "never")]
#[doc(alias = "!")]
//
/// The `!` type, also called "never".
///
/// `!` represents the type of computations which never resolve to any value at all. For example,
/// the [`exit`] function `fn exit(code: i32) -> !` exits the process without ever returning, and
/// so returns `!`.
///
/// `break`, `continue` and `return` expressions also have type `!`. For example we are allowed to
/// write:
///
/// ```
/// #![feature(never_type)]
/// # fn foo() -> u32 {
/// let x: ! = {
///     return 123
/// };
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// Although the `let` is pointless here, it illustrates the meaning of `!`. Since `x` is never
/// assigned a value (because `return` returns from the entire function), `x` can be given type
/// `!`. We could also replace `return 123` with a `panic!` or a never-ending `loop` and this code
/// would still be valid.
///
/// A more realistic usage of `!` is in this code:
///
/// ```
/// # fn get_a_number() -> Option<u32> { None }
/// # loop {
/// let num: u32 = match get_a_number() {
///     Some(num) => num,
///     None => break,
/// };
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// Both match arms must produce values of type [`u32`], but since `break` never produces a value
/// at all we know it can never produce a value which isn't a [`u32`]. This illustrates another
/// behaviour of the `!` type - expressions with type `!` will coerce into any other type.
///
/// [`u32`]: prim@u32
/// [`exit`]: process::exit
///
/// # `!` and generics
///
/// ## Infallible errors
///
/// The main place you'll see `!` used explicitly is in generic code. Consider the [`FromStr`]
/// trait:
///
/// ```
/// trait FromStr: Sized {
///     type Err;
///     fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>;
/// }
/// ```
///
/// When implementing this trait for [`String`] we need to pick a type for [`Err`]. And since
/// converting a string into a string will never result in an error, the appropriate type is `!`.
/// (Currently the type actually used is an enum with no variants, though this is only because `!`
/// was added to Rust at a later date and it may change in the future.) With an [`Err`] type of
/// `!`, if we have to call [`String::from_str`] for some reason the result will be a
/// [`Result<String, !>`] which we can unpack like this:
///
/// ```
/// #![feature(exhaustive_patterns)]
/// use std::str::FromStr;
/// let Ok(s) = String::from_str("hello");
/// ```
///
/// Since the [`Err`] variant contains a `!`, it can never occur. If the `exhaustive_patterns`
/// feature is present this means we can exhaustively match on [`Result<T, !>`] by just taking the
/// [`Ok`] variant. This illustrates another behaviour of `!` - it can be used to "delete" certain
/// enum variants from generic types like `Result`.
///
/// ## Infinite loops
///
/// While [`Result<T, !>`] is very useful for removing errors, `!` can also be used to remove
/// successes as well. If we think of [`Result<T, !>`] as "if this function returns, it has not
/// errored," we get a very intuitive idea of [`Result<!, E>`] as well: if the function returns, it
/// *has* errored.
///
/// For example, consider the case of a simple web server, which can be simplified to:
///
/// ```ignore (hypothetical-example)
/// loop {
///     let (client, request) = get_request().expect("disconnected");
///     let response = request.process();
///     response.send(client);
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Currently, this isn't ideal, because we simply panic whenever we fail to get a new connection.
/// Instead, we'd like to keep track of this error, like this:
///
/// ```ignore (hypothetical-example)
/// loop {
///     match get_request() {
///         Err(err) => break err,
///         Ok((client, request)) => {
///             let response = request.process();
///             response.send(client);
///         },
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Now, when the server disconnects, we exit the loop with an error instead of panicking. While it
/// might be intuitive to simply return the error, we might want to wrap it in a [`Result<!, E>`]
/// instead:
///
/// ```ignore (hypothetical-example)
/// fn server_loop() -> Result<!, ConnectionError> {
///     loop {
///         let (client, request) = get_request()?;
///         let response = request.process();
///         response.send(client);
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Now, we can use `?` instead of `match`, and the return type makes a lot more sense: if the loop
/// ever stops, it means that an error occurred. We don't even have to wrap the loop in an `Ok`
/// because `!` coerces to `Result<!, ConnectionError>` automatically.
///
/// [`String::from_str`]: str::FromStr::from_str
/// [`String`]: string::String
/// [`FromStr`]: str::FromStr
///
/// # `!` and traits
///
/// When writing your own traits, `!` should have an `impl` whenever there is an obvious `impl`
/// which doesn't `panic!`. The reason is that functions returning an `impl Trait` where `!`
/// does not have an `impl` of `Trait` cannot diverge as their only possible code path. In other
/// words, they can't return `!` from every code path. As an example, this code doesn't compile:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// use std::ops::Add;
///
/// fn foo() -> impl Add<u32> {
///     unimplemented!()
/// }
/// ```
///
/// But this code does:
///
/// ```
/// use std::ops::Add;
///
/// fn foo() -> impl Add<u32> {
///     if true {
///         unimplemented!()
///     } else {
///         0
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// The reason is that, in the first example, there are many possible types that `!` could coerce
/// to, because many types implement `Add<u32>`. However, in the second example,
/// the `else` branch returns a `0`, which the compiler infers from the return type to be of type
/// `u32`. Since `u32` is a concrete type, `!` can and will be coerced to it. See issue [#36375]
/// for more information on this quirk of `!`.
///
/// [#36375]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/36375
///
/// As it turns out, though, most traits can have an `impl` for `!`. Take [`Debug`]
/// for example:
///
/// ```
/// #![feature(never_type)]
/// # use std::fmt;
/// # trait Debug {
/// #     fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result;
/// # }
/// impl Debug for ! {
///     fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
///         *self
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Once again we're using `!`'s ability to coerce into any other type, in this case
/// [`fmt::Result`]. Since this method takes a `&!` as an argument we know that it can never be
/// called (because there is no value of type `!` for it to be called with). Writing `*self`
/// essentially tells the compiler "We know that this code can never be run, so just treat the
/// entire function body as having type [`fmt::Result`]". This pattern can be used a lot when
/// implementing traits for `!`. Generally, any trait which only has methods which take a `self`
/// parameter should have such an impl.
///
/// On the other hand, one trait which would not be appropriate to implement is [`Default`]:
///
/// ```
/// trait Default {
///     fn default() -> Self;
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Since `!` has no values, it has no default value either. It's true that we could write an
/// `impl` for this which simply panics, but the same is true for any type (we could `impl
/// Default` for (eg.) [`File`] by just making [`default()`] panic.)
///
/// [`File`]: fs::File
/// [`Debug`]: fmt::Debug
/// [`default()`]: Default::default

/// A character type.
///
/// The `char` type represents a single character. More specifically, since
/// 'character' isn't a well-defined concept in Unicode, `char` is a '[Unicode
/// scalar value]', which is similar to, but not the same as, a '[Unicode code
/// point]'.
///
/// [Unicode scalar value]: http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#unicode_scalar_value
/// [Unicode code point]: http://www.unicode.org/glossary/#code_point
///
/// This documentation describes a number of methods and trait implementations on the
/// `char` type. For technical reasons, there is additional, separate
/// documentation in [the `std::char` module](char/index.html) as well.
///
/// # Representation
///
/// `char` is always four bytes in size. This is a different representation than
/// a given character would have as part of a [`String`]. For example:
///
/// ```
/// let v = vec!['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'];
///
/// // five elements times four bytes for each element
/// assert_eq!(20, v.len() * std::mem::size_of::<char>());
///
/// let s = String::from("hello");
///
/// // five elements times one byte per element
/// assert_eq!(5, s.len() * std::mem::size_of::<u8>());
/// ```
///
/// [`String`]: string/struct.String.html
///
/// As always, remember that a human intuition for 'character' may not map to
/// Unicode's definitions. For example, despite looking similar, the 'é'
/// character is one Unicode code point while 'é' is two Unicode code points:
///
/// ```
/// let mut chars = "é".chars();
/// // U+00e9: 'latin small letter e with acute'
/// assert_eq!(Some('\u{00e9}'), chars.next());
/// assert_eq!(None, chars.next());
///
/// let mut chars = "é".chars();
/// // U+0065: 'latin small letter e'
/// assert_eq!(Some('\u{0065}'), chars.next());
/// // U+0301: 'combining acute accent'
/// assert_eq!(Some('\u{0301}'), chars.next());
/// assert_eq!(None, chars.next());
/// ```
///
/// This means that the contents of the first string above _will_ fit into a
/// `char` while the contents of the second string _will not_. Trying to create
/// a `char` literal with the contents of the second string gives an error:
///
/// ```text
/// error: character literal may only contain one codepoint: 'é'
/// let c = 'é';
///         ^^^
/// ```
///
/// Another implication of the 4-byte fixed size of a `char` is that
/// per-`char` processing can end up using a lot more memory:
///
/// ```
/// let s = String::from("love: ❤️");
/// let v: Vec<char> = s.chars().collect();
///
/// assert_eq!(12, std::mem::size_of_val(&s[..]));
/// assert_eq!(32, std::mem::size_of_val(&v[..]));
/// ```

/// Working with raw pointers in Rust is uncommon, typically limited to a few patterns.
/// Raw pointers can be unaligned or [`null`]. However, when a raw pointer is
/// dereferenced (using the `*` operator), it must be non-null and aligned.
///
/// Storing through a raw pointer using `*ptr = data` calls `drop` on the old value, so
/// [`write`] must be used if the type has drop glue and memory is not already
/// initialized - otherwise `drop` would be called on the uninitialized memory.
///
/// Use the [`null`] and [`null_mut`] functions to create null pointers, and the
/// [`is_null`] method of the `*const T` and `*mut T` types to check for null.
/// The `*const T` and `*mut T` types also define the [`offset`] method, for
/// pointer math.
///
/// # Common ways to create raw pointers
///
/// ## 1. Coerce a reference (`&T`) or mutable reference (`&mut T`).
///
/// ```
/// let my_num: i32 = 10;
/// let my_num_ptr: *const i32 = &my_num;
/// let mut my_speed: i32 = 88;
/// let my_speed_ptr: *mut i32 = &mut my_speed;

/// To get a pointer to a boxed value, dereference the box:

/// ```
/// let my_num: Box<i32> = Box::new(10);
/// let my_num_ptr: *const i32 = &*my_num;
/// let mut my_speed: Box<i32> = Box::new(88);
/// let my_speed_ptr: *mut i32 = &mut *my_speed;
/// ```
///
/// This does not take ownership of the original allocation
/// and requires no resource management later,
/// but you must not use the pointer after its lifetime.
///
/// ## 2. Consume a box (`Box<T>`).
///
/// The [`into_raw`] function consumes a box and returns
/// the raw pointer. It doesn't destroy `T` or deallocate any memory.
///
/// ```
/// let my_speed: Box<i32> = Box::new(88);
/// let my_speed: *mut i32 = Box::into_raw(my_speed);
///
/// // By taking ownership of the original `Box<T>` though
/// // we are obligated to put it together later to be destroyed.
/// unsafe {
///     drop(Box::from_raw(my_speed));
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Note that here the call to [`drop`] is for clarity - it indicates
/// that we are done with the given value and it should be destroyed.
///
/// ## 3. Get it from C.
///

/// A 32-bit floating point type (specifically, the "binary32" type defined in IEEE 754-2008).
///
/// This type can represent a wide range of decimal numbers, like `3.5`, `27`,
/// `-113.75`, `0.0078125`, `34359738368`, `0`, `-1`. So unlike integer types
/// (such as `i32`), floating point types can represent non-integer numbers,
/// too.
///
/// However, being able to represent this wide range of numbers comes at the
/// cost of precision: floats can only represent some of the real numbers and
/// calculation with floats round to a nearby representable number. For example,
/// `5.0` and `1.0` can be exactly represented as `f32`, but `1.0 / 5.0` results
/// in `0.20000000298023223876953125` since `0.2` cannot be exactly represented
/// as `f32`. Note, however, that printing floats with `println` and friends will
/// often discard insignificant digits: `println!("{}", 1.0f32 / 5.0f32)` will
/// print `0.2`.
///
/// Additionally, `f32` can represent some special values:
///
/// - −0.0: IEEE 754 floating point numbers have a bit that indicates their sign, so −0.0 is a
///   possible value. For comparison −0.0 = +0.0, but floating point operations can carry
///   the sign bit through arithmetic operations. This means −0.0 × +0.0 produces −0.0 and
///   a negative number rounded to a value smaller than a float can represent also produces −0.0.
/// - [∞](#associatedconstant.INFINITY) and
///   [−∞](#associatedconstant.NEG_INFINITY): these result from calculations
///   like `1.0 / 0.0`.
/// - [NaN (not a number)](#associatedconstant.NAN): this value results from
///   calculations like `(-1.0).sqrt()`. NaN has some potentially unexpected
///   behavior: it is unequal to any float, including itself! It is also neither
///   smaller nor greater than any float, making it impossible to sort. Lastly,
///   it is considered infectious as almost all calculations where one of the
///   operands is NaN will also result in NaN.

/// A reference represents a borrow of some owned value. You can get one by using the `&` or `&mut`

///
/// For those familiar with pointers, a reference is just a pointer that is assumed to be
/// aligned, not null, and pointing to memory containing a valid value of `T` - for example,
/// `&bool` can only point to an allocation containing the integer values `1` (`true`) or `0`
/// (`false`), but creating a `&bool` that points to an allocation containing
/// the value `3` causes undefined behaviour.
/// In fact, `Option<&T>` has the same memory representation as a
/// nullable but aligned pointer, and can be passed across FFI boundaries as such.
///
/// In most cases, references can be used much like the original value. Field access, method
/// calling, and indexing work the same (save for mutability rules, of course). In addition, the
/// comparison operators transparently defer to the referent's implementation, allowing references
/// to be compared the same as owned values.
///
/// References have a lifetime attached to them, which represents the scope for which the borrow is
/// valid. A lifetime is said to "outlive" another one if its representative scope is as long or
/// longer than the other. The `'static` lifetime is the longest lifetime, which represents the
/// total life of the program. For example, string literals have a `'static` lifetime because the
/// text data is embedded into the binary of the program, rather than in an allocation that needs
/// to be dynamically managed.
///
/// `&mut T` references can be freely coerced into `&T` references with the same referent type, and
/// references with longer lifetimes can be freely coerced into references with shorter ones.
///
/// Reference equality by address, instead of comparing the values pointed to, is accomplished via
/// implicit reference-pointer coercion and raw pointer equality via [`ptr::eq`], while
/// [`PartialEq`] compares values.

/// Function pointers are pointers that point to *code*, not data. They can be called

/// not be null, so if you want to pass a function pointer over FFI and be able to accommodate null
/// pointers, make your type `Option<fn()>` with your required signature.
///
/// ### Safety
///
/// Plain function pointers are obtained by casting either plain functions, or closures that don't
/// capture an environment:
///
/// ```
/// fn add_one(x: usize) -> usize {
///     x + 1
/// }
///
/// let ptr: fn(usize) -> usize = add_one;
/// assert_eq!(ptr(5), 6);
///
/// let clos: fn(usize) -> usize = |x| x + 5;
/// assert_eq!(clos(5), 10);
/// ```
///
/// In addition to varying based on their signature, function pointers come in two flavors: safe
/// and unsafe. Plain `fn()` function pointers can only point to safe functions,
/// while `unsafe fn()` function pointers can point to safe or unsafe functions.
///
/// ```
/// fn add_one(x: usize) -> usize {
///     x + 1
/// }
///
/// unsafe fn add_one_unsafely(x: usize) -> usize {
///     x + 1
/// }
///
/// let safe_ptr: fn(usize) -> usize = add_one;
///
/// //ERROR: mismatched types: expected normal fn, found unsafe fn
/// //let bad_ptr: fn(usize) -> usize = add_one_unsafely;
///
/// let unsafe_ptr: unsafe fn(usize) -> usize = add_one_unsafely;
/// let really_safe_ptr: unsafe fn(usize) -> usize = add_one;
/// ```
///
/// ### ABI
///
/// On top of that, function pointers can vary based on what ABI they use. This
/// is achieved by adding the `extern` keyword before the type, followed by the
/// ABI in question. The default ABI is "Rust", i.e., `fn()` is the exact same
/// type as `extern "Rust" fn()`. A pointer to a function with C ABI would have
/// type `extern "C" fn()`.
///
/// `extern "ABI" { ... }` blocks declare functions with ABI "ABI". The default
/// here is "C", i.e., functions declared in an `extern {...}` block have "C"
/// ABI.
///
/// For more information and a list of supported ABIs, see [the nomicon's
/// section on foreign calling conventions][nomicon-abi].
///
/// [nomicon-abi]: ../nomicon/ffi.html#foreign-calling-conventions
///
/// ### Variadic functions
///
/// Extern function declarations with the "C" or "cdecl" ABIs can also be *variadic*, allowing them
/// to be called with a variable number of arguments. Normal Rust functions, even those with an
/// `extern "ABI"`, cannot be variadic. For more information, see [the nomicon's section on
/// variadic functions][nomicon-variadic].
///
/// [nomicon-variadic]: ../nomicon/ffi.html#variadic-functions
///
/// ### Creating function pointers
///
/// When `bar` is the name of a function, then the expression `bar` is *not* a
/// function pointer. Rather, it denotes a value of an unnameable type that
/// uniquely identifies the function `bar`. The value is zero-sized because the
/// type already identifies the function. This has the advantage that "calling"
/// the value (it implements the `Fn*` traits) does not require dynamic
/// dispatch.
///
/// This zero-sized type *coerces* to a regular function pointer. For example:
///
/// ```rust
/// use std::mem;
///
/// fn bar(x: i32) {}
///
/// let not_bar_ptr = bar; // `not_bar_ptr` is zero-sized, uniquely identifying `bar`
/// assert_eq!(mem::size_of_val(&not_bar_ptr), 0);
///
/// let bar_ptr: fn(i32) = not_bar_ptr; // force coercion to function pointer
/// assert_eq!(mem::size_of_val(&bar_ptr), mem::size_of::<usize>());
///
/// let footgun = &bar; // this is a shared reference to the zero-sized type identifying `bar`
/// ```
///
/// The last line shows that `&bar` is not a function pointer either. Rather, it
/// is a reference to the function-specific ZST. `&bar` is basically never what you
/// want when `bar` is a function.
///
/// ### Traits
///
/// Function pointers implement the following traits:
///
/// * [`Clone`]
/// * [`PartialEq`]
/// * [`Eq`]
/// * [`PartialOrd`]
/// * [`Ord`]
/// * [`Hash`]
/// * [`Pointer`]
/// * [`Debug`]
///
/// [`Hash`]: hash::Hash
/// [`Pointer`]: fmt::Pointer
///
/// Due to a temporary restriction in Rust's type system, these traits are only implemented on
/// functions that take 12 arguments or less, with the `"Rust"` and `"C"` ABIs. In the future, this
/// may change.
///
/// In addition, function pointers of *any* signature, ABI, or safety are [`Copy`], and all *safe*
/// function pointers implement [`Fn`], [`FnMut`], and [`FnOnce`]. This works because these traits
/// are specially known to the compiler.
