Stabilize target_feature_11 # Stabilization report This is an updated version of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116114, which is itself a redo of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99767. Most of this commit and report were copied from those PRs. Thanks ```@LeSeulArtichaut``` and ```@calebzulawski!``` ## Summary Allows for safe functions to be marked with `#[target_feature]` attributes. Functions marked with `#[target_feature]` are generally considered as unsafe functions: they are unsafe to call, cannot *generally* be assigned to safe function pointers, and don't implement the `Fn*` traits. However, calling them from other `#[target_feature]` functions with a superset of features is safe. ```rust // Demonstration function #[target_feature(enable = "avx2")] fn avx2() {} fn foo() { // Calling `avx2` here is unsafe, as we must ensure // that AVX is available first. unsafe { avx2(); } } #[target_feature(enable = "avx2")] fn bar() { // Calling `avx2` here is safe. avx2(); } ``` Moreover, once https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135504 is merged, they can be converted to safe function pointers in a context in which calling them is safe: ```rust // Demonstration function #[target_feature(enable = "avx2")] fn avx2() {} fn foo() -> fn() { // Converting `avx2` to fn() is a compilation error here. avx2 } #[target_feature(enable = "avx2")] fn bar() -> fn() { // `avx2` coerces to fn() here avx2 } ``` See the section "Closures" below for justification of this behaviour. ## Test cases Tests for this feature can be found in [`tests/ui/target_feature/`]( |

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
