Commit
This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.
Clean up some of the pkgsrc Makefile, there's still lots in here that
should just be deleted though. Switch SunOS to the illumos bootstrap
by default.
Version 1.48.0 (2020-11-19)
==========================
Language
--------
- [The `unsafe` keyword is now syntactically permitted on modules.][75857] This
is still rejected *semantically*, but can now be parsed by procedural macros.
Compiler
--------
- [Stabilised the `-C link-self-contained=<yes|no>` compiler flag.][76158] This tells
`rustc` whether to link its own C runtime and libraries or to rely on a external
linker to find them. (Supported only on `windows-gnu`, `linux-musl`, and `wasi` platforms.)
- [You can now use `-C target-feature=+crt-static` on `linux-gnu` targets.][77386]
Note: If you're using cargo you must explicitly pass the `--target` flag.
- [Added tier 2\* support for `aarch64-unknown-linux-musl`.][76420]
\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][forge-platform-support] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.
Libraries
---------
- [`io::Write` is now implemented for `&ChildStdin` `&Sink`, `&Stdout`,
and `&Stderr`.][76275]
- [All arrays of any length now implement `TryFrom<Vec<T>>`.][76310]
- [The `matches!` macro now supports having a trailing comma.][74880]
- [`Vec<A>` now implements `PartialEq<[B]>` where `A: PartialEq<B>`.][74194]
- [The `RefCell::{replace, replace_with, clone}` methods now all use `#[track_caller]`.][77055]
Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`slice::as_ptr_range`]
- [`slice::as_mut_ptr_range`]
- [`VecDeque::make_contiguous`]
- [`future::pending`]
- [`future::ready`]
The following previously stable methods are now `const fn`'s:
- [`Option::is_some`]
- [`Option::is_none`]
- [`Option::as_ref`]
- [`Result::is_ok`]
- [`Result::is_err`]
- [`Result::as_ref`]
- [`Ordering::reverse`]
- [`Ordering::then`]
Cargo
-----
Rustdoc
-------
- [You can now link to items in `rustdoc` using the intra-doc link
syntax.][74430] E.g. ``/// Uses [`std::future`]`` will automatically generate
a link to `std::future`'s documentation. See ["Linking to items by
name"][intradoc-links] for more information.
- [You can now specify `#[doc(alias = "<alias>")]` on items to add search aliases
when searching through `rustdoc`'s UI.][75740]
Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Promotion of references to `'static` lifetime inside `const fn` now follows the
same rules as inside a `fn` body.][75502] In particular, `&foo()` will not be
promoted to `'static` lifetime any more inside `const fn`s.
- [Associated type bindings on trait objects are now verified to meet the bounds
declared on the trait when checking that they implement the trait.][27675]
- [When trait bounds on associated types or opaque types are ambiguous, the
compiler no longer makes an arbitrary choice on which bound to use.][54121]
- [Fixed recursive nonterminals not being expanded in macros during
pretty-print/reparse check.][77153] This may cause errors if your macro wasn't
correctly handling recursive nonterminal tokens.
- [`&mut` references to non zero-sized types are no longer promoted.][75585]
- [`rustc` will now warn if you use attributes like `#[link_name]` or `#[cold]`
in places where they have no effect.][73461]
- [Updated `_mm256_extract_epi8` and `_mm256_extract_epi16` signatures in
`arch::{x86, x86_64}` to return `i32` to match the vendor signatures.][73166]
- [`mem::uninitialized` will now panic if any inner types inside a struct or enum
disallow zero-initialization.][71274]
- [`#[target_feature]` will now error if used in a place where it has no effect.][78143]
- [Foreign exceptions are now caught by `catch_unwind` and will cause an abort.][70212]
Note: This behaviour is not guaranteed and is still considered undefined behaviour,
see the [`catch_unwind`] documentation for further information.
Internal Only
-------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and
related tools.
- [Building `rustc` from source now uses `ninja` by default over `make`.][74922]
You can continue building with `make` by setting `ninja=false` in
your `config.toml`.
- [cg_llvm: `fewer_names` in `uncached_llvm_type`][76030]
- [Made `ensure_sufficient_stack()` non-generic][76680]
