Nightly regression for rustlex_codegen crate?

[kstep]

I’m working on systemd-cron-next project and I depend on a few unstable features, so I had to use nightly Rust compiler.

I haven’t updated my rust compiler for a while and everything worked just fine, until recently I turned on Travis CI for the project, and it failed to compile with latest nightly.

I updated my compiler and try to cargo build my project, and it failed:

$ cargo build --verbose

I use build.rs script with rumblebars crate to generate some files from templates.

I’m not sure since what nightly version the code was broken, but rustc 1.3.0-nightly (69ca01256 2015-07-23) is already broken, while rustc 1.3.0-nightly (7ea2674c7 2015-07-13) works perfectly fine, so whatever regression happened in rust nightly, it was between 7/13 and 7/23.

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance.

According to http://bitrust.octarineparrot.com/ the only breaking changes between 7/13 and 7/23 are these:

commit 18557500cb91596f3614d4cf65439f8c5f47b2e0 Merge: 39d4faf 0ca8e49 Author: bors bors@rust-lang.org AuthorDate: Mon Jul 20 16:38:33 2015 +0000 Commit: bors bors@rust-lang.org CommitDate: Mon Jul 20 16:38:33 2015 +0000

Auto merge of #27026 - nagisa:overflowing-unsigned, r=pnkfelix

This commit fixes the negate_unsigned feature gate to appropriately
account for inferred variables.

This is technically a [breaking-change], but I’d consider it a bug fix.

Auto merge of #27045 - nikomatsakis:better-object-defaults-error, r=pnkfelix

Transition to the new object lifetime defaults, replacing the old defaults completely.

r? @pnkfelix

This is a [breaking-change] as specified by [RFC 1156][1156] (though all cases that would break should have been receiving warnings

starting in Rust 1.2). Types like &'a Box<Trait> (or &'a Rc<Trait>, etc) will change from being interpreted as &'a Box<Trait+'a> to &'a Box<Trait+'static>. To restore the old behavior, write the +'a explicitly. For example, the function:

```rust
trait Trait { }
fn foo(x: &Box<Trait>) { ... }
```

would be rewritten as:

```rust
trait Trait { }
fn foo(x: &'a Box<Trait+'a>) { ... }
```

if one wanted to preserve the current typing.

Fix negate_unsigned feature gate check

This commit fixes the negate_unsigned feature gate to appropriately
account for infered variables.

This is technically a [breaking-change].

And these changes don’t look relevant to my problem for me.

Maybe you need to ask the rumblebars maintainer for specifics?

I see you are using "*" versions for dependencies, so you’ll always get the latest versions of crates – even if they have been updated incompatibly. I’d suggest always using versioned dependencies, that way you don’t at least opt in to automatic breakage.

That said, discuss with the rumblebars maintainer, do they intend to support rust nightly? Is there a version of it that does (and which cargo feature flags would it need)?

[kstep]

After looking at crate sources, I found out the crate support nightly, it just needs to be configured with correct features:

[build-dependencies.rumblebars]
version = "*"
features = ["nightly"]
default-features = false

This config snippet solved my problem. Sorry for bothering.
