Updatify / Rust | Release notes

• rustc: fix miscompilation in generating vtables

Language

• Allow shortening lifetime of &mut when unsize-coercing, even in an invariant position. For example, you can now coerce a Cell<&'long mut i32> to a Cell<&'short mut dyn Send>. Such shortenings were already previously allowed when coercing a &mut to a &, or coercing a & to a &.
• Add deny-by-default invalid_runtime_symbol_definitions lint and warn-by-default suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions lint
  • The lints currently specifically targets core runtime symbols like memcmp, memset, strlen, … and is planned to be expanded in the next few releases.
• Add warn-by-default c_void_returns lint to check core::ffi::c_void as a return type

Platform Support

• Add powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnuelfv2 as Tier 3

• Allow specifying multiple bounds for same associated item, except in trait objects
• Slightly strengthen higher-ranked region handling in coherence

Language

  • riscv32gc-unknown-linux-musl
  • s390x-unknown-linux-musl
  • thumbv7neon-unknown-linux-musleabihf

Platform Support

Language

• Stabilize explicitly inferred const arguments (feature(generic_arg_infer))
• Add a warn-by-default mismatched_lifetime_syntaxes lint. This lint detects when the same lifetime is referred to by different syntax categories between function arguments and return values, which can be confusing to read, especially in unsafe code. This lint supersedes the warn-by-default elided_named_lifetimes lint.

• Stabilize repr128 (#[repr(u128)], #[repr(i128)])

Language

• Stabilize #![feature(let_chains)] in the 2024 edition. This feature allows &&-chaining let statements inside if and while, allowing intermixture with boolean expressions. The patterns inside the let sub-expressions can be irrefutable or refutable.
• Stabilize #![feature(naked_functions)]. Naked functions allow writing functions with no compiler-generated epilogue and prologue, allowing full control over the generated assembly for a particular function.
• Stabilize #![feature(cfg_boolean_literals)]. This allows using boolean literals as cfg predicates, e.g. #[cfg(true)] and #[cfg(false)].
• Fully de-stabilize the #[bench] attribute. Usage of #[bench] without #![feature(custom_test_frameworks)] already triggered a deny-by-default future-incompatibility lint since Rust 1.77, but will now become a hard error.

• More pointers are now detected as definitely not-null based on their alignment in const eval.
• Empty repr() attribute applied to invalid items are now correctly rejected.
