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.

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

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

RFCs

Rust

Rustup

If you are a feature implementer and would like your RFC to appear on the above list, add the new 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.

Approved RFCs

Changes to Rust follow the Rust RFC (request for comments) process. These are the RFCs that were approved for implementation this week:

• Pass pointers to const in assembly

Final Comment Period

Every week, the team announces the 'final comment period' for RFCs and key PRs which are reaching a decision. Express your opinions now.

Tracking Issues & PRs

Rust

• Warn against calls which mutates an interior mutable const -item
• parser/lexer: bump to Unicode 17, use faster unicode-ident
• const-eval: fix and re-enable pointer fragment support
• Replace OffsetOf by an actual sum of calls to intrinsic.
• Stabilize asm_cfg
• Stabilize -Zremap-path-scope
• error out when repr(align) exceeds COFF limit

Compiler Team (MCPs only) * target tier 3 support for hexagon-unknown-qurt * Proposal for a dedicated test suite for the parallel frontend * Proposal for Adapt Stack Protector for Rust * Give integer literals a sign instead of relying on negation expressions

No Items entered Final Comment Period this week for Rust RFCs, Cargo, Language Team, Language Reference, Leadership Council or Unsafe Code Guidelines.

Let us know if you would like your PRs, Tracking Issues or RFCs to be tracked as a part of this list.

Quote of the Week

Making your unsafe very tiny is sort of like putting caution markings on the lethally strong robot arm with no proximity sensors, rather than on the door into the protective cage.

– Stephan Sokolow on lobste.rs
