Calls for Testing

An important step for RFC implementation is for people to experiment with the implementation and give feedback, especially before stabilization.

If you are a feature implementer and would like your RFC to appear in this list, add a call-for-testing label to your RFC along with a comment providing testing instructions and/or guidance on which aspect(s) of the feature need testing.

Cargo

• Tracking Issue for -Zrustdoc-depinfo
• Testing Instructions
• Tracking Issue for native-completion
• Testing Instructions
• Redefine CARGO_TARGET_DIR to be only an artifacts directory
• Testing Instructions
• cargo install --dry-run
• Testing Instructions
• cargo package --workspace is not very useful
• Testing Instructions
• cargo publish multiple packages at once

• Testing Instructions

• No calls for testing were issued this week by Rust, Rust language RFCs or Rustup.

Let us know if you would like your feature to be tracked as a part of this list.

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

A fairly busy week, with lots of changes to performance. Most of the changes (at least in quantity of benchmarks) are attributable to an update of our PGO collection to newer benchmarks as part of the 2025 refresh.

Triage done by @simulacrum. Revision range: 2805e1dc..2fc3deed
