Dropping an empty BTreeMap is free again, and SyncView stabilizes

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Rust · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

A compiler rollup lands the SyncView stabilization and a BTreeMap fix that returns the empty-drop path to zero cost, while Miri rebuilds its TCP socket shim on socket2.

Rollup merge of #161791 - jakedrew:fix/Making_and_dropping_an_empty_BTreeMap_is_not_free_161375, r=clarfonthey rust-lang/rust

by Jonathan Brouwer

Dropping an empty BTreeMap walked the dying_next path and so was not free since 1.56.0; with no root we now take the free path instead. If you allocate and drop empty maps in hot loops, that cost disappears.

Stabilize SyncView rust-lang/rust

by tisonkun

SyncView is stabilized, closing the tracking issue open since #98407. It arrives as part of the six-PR rollup that also documents current_exe's platform behavior, including Linux appending " (deleted)", and allows elided 'static lifetimes in thread_local!.

Extend TCP socket shim to use `socket2` abstractions rust-lang/miri

by WhySoBad

The TCP socket shim now uses socket2's Socket and SockRef, which drops the SocketState::Bound state and lets socket options be set before connect or listen is ever called. Non-blocking operations no longer have to follow the standard library's socket -> bind -> connect ordering under Miri.

Update Rust crate utoipa to v6 rust-lang/crates.io

by renovate

by renovate

Renovate also queued routine bumps: thiserror to 2.0.21 for generic unit variant parsing, and aws-sdk-cloudfront to 1.133.0 and aws-sdk-sqs to 1.112.0.
