Stabilize `arbitrary_enum_discriminant` Closes #60553. ---- ## Stabilization Report _copied from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60553#issuecomment-865922311_ ### Summary Enables a user to specify *explicit* discriminants on arbitrary enums. Previously, this was hard to achieve: ```rust #[repr(u8)] enum Foo { A(u8) = 0, B(i8) = 1, C(bool) = 42, } ``` Someone would need to add 41 hidden variants in between as a workaround with implicit discriminants. In conjunction with [RFC 2195](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2195-really-tagged-unions.md), this feature would provide more flexibility for FFI and unsafe code involving enums. ### Test cases Most tests are in [`src/test/ui/enum-discriminant`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/ui/enum-discriminant), there are two [historical](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/parser/tag-variant-disr-non-nullary.rs) [tests](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/parser/issue-17383.rs) that are now covered by the feature (removed by this pr due to them being obsolete). ### Edge cases The feature is well defined and does not have many edge cases. One [edge case](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70509) was related to another unstable feature named `repr128` and is resolved. ### Previous PRs The [implementation PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/60732) added documentation to the Unstable Book, https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/1055 was opened as a continuation of https://github.com/rust-lang/reference/pull/639. ### Resolution of unresolved questions The questions are resolved in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60553#issuecomment-511235271. ---- (someone please add `needs-fcp`) |
