A new nightly version (`nightly-2024-08-28`) introduces a few warnings
because of our rustdocs. These are valid warnings and should be fixed,
thanks `clippy` team.
(The `bip152` change is a bit sloppy, open to suggestions.)
4ead0adcb5 Add blanket impl of io traits for `&mut T` (Martin Habovstiak)
Pull request description:
The impl wasn't previously available because we thought we can do a blanket impl for `std` traits. We've removed the `std` blanket impl when we realized it's broken but forgot to add the `&mut T` impls. This adds them.
Note: this is in part an experiment to see if this is API breaking. I suspect it might be.

Pull request description:
Conditional compilation depending on Rust version using `cfg` had the disadvantage that we had to write the same code multiple times, compile it multiple times, execute it multiple times, update it multiple times... Apart from obvious maintenance issues the build script wasn't generating the list of allowed `cfg`s so those had to be maintained manually in `Cargo.toml`. This was fixable by printing an appropriate line but it's best to do it together with the other changes.
Because we cannot export `cfg` flags from a crate to different crates we take a completely different approach: we define a macro called `rust_version` that takes a very naturally looking condition such as `if >= 1.70 {}`. This macro is auto-generated so that it produces different results based on the compiler version - it either expands to first block or the second block (after `else`).
This way, the other crates can simply call the macro when needed.
Unfortunately some minimal maintenance is still needed: to update the max version number when a newer version is used. (Note that code will still work with higher versions, it only limits which conditions can be used in downstream code.) This can be automated with the pin update script or we could just put the pin file into the `internals` directory and read the value from there. Not automating isn't terrible either since anyone adding a cfg with higher version will see a nice error about unknown version of Rust and can update it manually.
Because this changes syntax to a more naturally looking version number, as a side effect the `cond_const` macro could be also updated to use the new macro under the hood, providing much nicer experience - it is no longer needed to provide human-readable version of the version string to put in the note about `const`ness requiring a newer version. As such the note is now always there using a single source of truth.
It's also a great moment to introduce this change right now since there's currently no conditional compilation used in `bitcoin` crate making the changes minimal. However it is not yet added to `bitcoin-io` since `bitcoin-io` is not depending on `internals`. It might be a reason to start depending on it but that's for later discussion.

Previously we've only implemented `bitcoin-io` traits for `BufReader`
and `BufWriter` with the reasoning that people should most likely use
those and implementing for other types is too much work. However since
then there were requests to implement them so we do in this commit.
We want to implement the traits for more types which would be tedious
without a macro and it'd risk forgetting to forward some method since
they may be speialized. This also adds previously-forgotten
specializations. It also relaxes the implicit `Sized` bound on
`BufReader` and `BufWriter` in Rust versions above 1.72.
Without the ability to seek, the `Cursor` type is only useful for
wrapping owned buffers. In `std` the equivalent type also allows
seeking. We currently do not have the `Seek` trait so this simply adds a
method to set the position. Further, this adds a method to access inner
type so seeking from the end can be implemented (to compute the position
relative to the end).
Closes#3174
This adds a reverse of the previous commit however it does not add
convenience methods since user should generally prefer the macro
instead. I had a clever idea to add a convenience conversion trait but
that is blocked by Rust stabilizing overlapping *marker* trait impls.
When we've removed the blanket impl we forgot to replace it with a
bridge that would make the usage with `std` types easy. This change
implements the missing bridge forwarding all the methods and traits.
c72069e921 Bump MSRV to 1.63 (Martin Habovstiak)
Pull request description:
The version 1.63 satisfies our requirements for MSRV and provides significant benefits so this commit bumps it. This commit also starts using some advantages of the new MSRV, namely namespaced features, weak dependencies and the ability to use trait bounds in `const` context.
This however does not yet migrade the `rand-std` feature because that requires a release of `secp256k1` with the same kind of change - bumping MSRV to 1.63 and removing `rand-std` in favor of weak dependency. (Accompanying PR to secp256k1: https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-secp256k1/pull/709 )
Suggested plan:
* merge both PRs
* at some point release `hashes` and `secp256k`
* remove `rand-std` from `bitcoin`
* release the rest of the crates

Some of our CI shell scripts are meant only to be sourced and not
run directly however they include an initial shebang line, implying that
they should be run.
Remove the shebang line from `crates.sh` and the various `test_vars.sh`
scripts. Add a `shellcheck` directive to inhibit the no-shebang warning.

26b9782d8b CI: Re-write run_task.sh (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
Recently we re-wrote CI to increase VM level parallelism, in hindsite this has proved to be not that great because:
- It resulted in approx 180 jobs
- We are on free tier so only get 20 jobs (VMs) at a time so its slow to run
- The UI is annoying to dig through the long job list to find failures
Have another go at organising the jobs with the main aim of shortening total run time and making it easier to quickly see fails.
Re-write the `run_task.sh` script, notable moving manifest handling to the workflow. Also don't bother testing with beta toolchain.
### Note on review
The diff is hard to read for `rust.yml`, I tried splitting out a bunch of separate patches but it resulted in the same thing (because there are so many identical lines in the yaml file). I suggest just looking at the yaml file and not the diff.

WASM Note
Removes the `cdylib` and `rlib` from the manifest patching during wasm
build - I do not know the following:
- Why this breaks on this PR but not on other PRs
- Why I can't get wasm test to run locally on master but PRs are passing
- What the `cdylib` and `rlib` were meant to be doing
This is the docs from: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/linkage.html
* --crate-type=cdylib, #![crate_type = "cdylib"] - A dynamic system
library will be produced. This is used when compiling a dynamic library
to be loaded from another language. This output type will create *.so
files on Linux, *.dylib files on macOS, and *.dll files on Windows.
* --crate-type=rlib, #![crate_type = "rlib"] - A "Rust library" file
will be produced. This is used as an intermediate artifact and can be
thought of as a "static Rust library". These rlib files, unlike
staticlib files, are interpreted by the compiler in future linkage. This
essentially means that rustc will look for metadata in rlib files like
it looks for metadata in dynamic libraries. This form of output is used
to produce statically linked executables as well as staticlib outputs.
051c358bcb Remove deprecated legacy numeric methods (Divyansh Gupta)
Pull request description:
As `rustc 1.79.0-nightly (9d79cd5f7 2024-04-05)` is released which solves the issue mentioned , but the release has deperacted legacy numeric methods.
Thus replaced `u16::max_value()` etc with `u32::MAX` & `core::u16` to directly `u16`.

fix#2639
This lint triggers when parsing a reference to a large struct as a
generic argument, which is wrong.
Allow it crate wide because [subjectively] this lint never warns for
anything useful.
There have only been two PRs merged that touched the `io` crate since it
as last released. The changes are additive so we can do a pre-0.1 point
release.
In preparation for release bump the version and add a changelog entry.
We attempted to release with the current 0.1.0 version forgetting that
we had previously released an empty crate with that version to reserve
the name on crates.io.
Bump the version to 0.1.1 and release the actual code.
Remove the blanket impls of `Read`, `BufRead`, and `Write`. Replace them
with a set of sane impls.
Note, we add code to the `impl_write` macro to implement both
`crate::Write` and `std::io::Write` when "std" feature is
enabled.
Fix: #2432
Done in preparation for an initial v0.1.0 release of the new `io` crate.
Add a changelog file with a brief description of whats in the initial release.
Currently `Take::read_to_end` is private forcing users to use our
"custom" `read_to_limit`, for seasoned Rust hackers
`foo.take(16).read_to_end(buf)` make be more unsurprising.
Make `read_to_end` public.
Make the trait level attributes uniform across all released crates in
the repo. Excludes things that are obviously not needed, eg, bench stuff
if there is not bench code.
- Remove `uninhabited_references` - this is allow by default now.
- Remove `unconditional_recursion` and mark the single false positive we
have with an `allow`.
Note, this does not add `missing_docs` to the `io` crate. There is an
open PR at the moment to add that along with the required docs.
The `std::io::Read` trait includes `read_to_end` but that method
provides a denial of service attack vector since an unbounded reader
will exhaust all system memory.
Add a method to our `Read` trait called `read_to_limit` that does the
same as `std::io::Read::read_to_end` but with memory exhaustion
protection.
Add a `read_to_end` method on our `Take` trait and call through to it
from the new method on our `Read` trait called `read_to_limit`.
Add a `BufRead` trait for types that perform buffered reading.
Implement it for:
- `Take`
- `Cursor`
- `std::io::BufRead` readers
- (in no-std builds) for slice of u8s
