Description
Currently, backtrace-sys
hardcoded the compilation of src/libbacktrace/read.c
:
However, libbacktrace
provides a more efficient version of read.c
(which is used internally to read in chunks of memory) called mmapio.c
.
backtrace-rs
should either provide a feature which compiles libbacktrace
with mmapio.c
, or attempt to detect whether or not the mmap
system call is available. Alternatively, the configure
script for libbacktrace
could be used instead of hard-coding paths, since [it already detects if mmap
is available[(https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace/blob/559ab7cab4a6002124863d493bd09a376a690e76/configure.ac#L285-L303). I'm not sure if there are any issues preventing this script from being used.
This will also fix rust-lang/rust#69151, since we will no longe be hitting the bug in read.c
