This is a follow-up to #41096 that adds safer methods for converting between Box<str> and Box<[u8]>. They're gated under a different feature from the &mut str methods because they may be too niche to include in public APIs, although having them internally helps reduce the number of transmutes the standard library uses.

What's added:

  • From<Box<str>> for Box<[u8]>
  • <Box<str>>::into_boxed_bytes (just calls Into::into)
  • alloc::str (new module)
  • from_boxed_utf8 and from_boxed_utf8_unchecked, defined in alloc:str, exported in collections::str
  • exports from_utf8_mut in collections::str (missed from previous PR)

Thanks for the PR @clarcharr! Sorry for the delay - half of the team was on spring vacation. @Kimundi or some other reviewer will be looking at your PR soon.

☔ The latest upstream changes (presumably #41411) made this pull request unmergeable. Please resolve the merge conflicts.

FYI, my PR #41295 just landed which made a couple organizational changes to the Unstable Book. Namely, features are now divided into 'language features' and 'library features' which are different directories, so you'll unfortunately have to address the conflicts. You should be able to just run ./x.py test src/tools/tidy to see what needs to be changed after rebasing/merging in master. Sorry for the inconvenience and if you need any help with that let me know! I can address the merge conflicts for you if you want.

Hm so looking this over, I fear that we're getting too aggressive with all of these conversions. For example functions like from_boxed_utf8 seem like you wouldn't actually wish to call them because in the case of a failure you lose the entire allocation.

That makes sense! I can remove that function for now if that seems best.

Ok, let's remove that function.

Removed for now. I also marked the alloc::str module itself as unstable.

Looks like Travis is failing?

Hopefully it should be fixed once Travis finishes!
