Rustdoc failure in armv7 targets with -neon with target_feature(enable = "neon")

[sayantn]

I tried this code:

#![feature(arm_target_feature)]

#[target_feature(enable = "neon")]
unsafe fn foo() {}

This always compiles, but in armv7 targets that have -neon target-feature, running rustdoc on it produces the error

error: target feature `neon` cannot be toggled with `#[target_feature]`: unsound on hard-float targets because it changes float ABI
 --> bug.rs:3:18
  |
5 | #[target_feature(enable = "neon")]
  |

even if the target has +soft-float (e.g armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi).

Hi @sayantn, could you elaborate on how exactly you ran rustdoc (e.g. flags, configs)?

[sayantn]

I typically use cargo doc --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf, but rustdoc --target armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --crate-type=lib bug.rs also reproduces the issue. No extra flags or anything needed, just a nightly toolchain

May I know why was this closed? Now that rust 1.85.0 is in stable but I hit this problem...

[sayantn]

Oh I forgot about stable. This was fixed in 1.86.0 nightly
Should I reopen this?
