Next week most of the Rust team are meeting in the Bay area for a work week so all scheduled meetings are cancelled. Thus, there are no RFCs proposed for discussion next week. However, we intend to discuss as many open RFCs as possible over the week, so if you've been meaning to comment on anything and holding back, now is a good time
For the record here is the status of RFCs which have been previously discussed (or at least proposed for discussion):
(not) Proposed for discussion at Rust meeting
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/145 - Memory exploit mitigation - kmc Add attributes and compiler flags for hardening against memory exploitation. E.g., aslr, stack canaries. Not a lot of feedback for or against (some bikeshedding over how exactly to specify the level of hardening to the compiler). Recommend discuss. Proposed for discussion last week, not reached.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/184 - Tuple indexing - P1start Allow indexing tuples to extract their fields without destructuring. Mostly positive feedback. Recommend close as postponed - I would personally like to do this and it seems popular, but it is also backwards compatible and low priority, so we shouldn't do it pre-1.0. Maybe we would take a patch for this though? Discussed at traige, proposed for possible merge.
Proposed for discussion at triage
Discussion postponed
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/161 - int/uint portability to 16-bit CPUs - 1fish2 Change int/uint to be at least 32bit or rename to index/uindex. Recommend close (after discussion), changes to int/uint have been discussed and rejected before. No new motivation here. Postponed for discussion at the work week.
Actions agreed
nmatsakis to take some measurements and report back
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/17 - Iterable trait family - erikt aturon to comment acrichto to close
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/22 - Deserializing to a stream of tagged values - erikt Changes to the deserialisation framework. Allows for decoding into an enum. No commentary for or against. Implementation in progress, RFC to be updated soon-ish.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/88 - Macro syntax to count sequence repetitions - Eridius pnkfelix + jclements to keep pushing on getting more explanation
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/101 - Allow multiple (fixed-size) subslices borrows in one pattern - krdln
Allows matching several parts of a vec in one pattern. Adds xs..n
syntax to match a fixed size slice (and changes variable sized slice pattern syntax to xs..
from ..xs
).
Not much feedback - all positive or corrected later to be positive. Seems like a small generalisation with no downsides.
Agreed to close for now, but to accept a cut down RFC for syntactic changes in order to make such changes backwards compatible if we do them in the future. nrc to coordinate.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/113 - Provide a common API across Option
and the Ok
and Err
variants of Result
- bjz
Make Option and Result more consistent.
Positive feedback for the idea, some discussion on the specifics.
I believe this was discussed before and we were going to flesh it out a bit more. Could bjz and aturon update us on progress?
To be closed, more RFCs coming from aturon.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/127 - Opt-in builtin traits, take 2: default and negative impls - nmatsakis Unsafe (trusted) traits (see also 117, now closed) which express an invariant to the compiler and default impls - which must be opted out of, rather than in. Niko to update with 1.0 path.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/135 - where clauses - nmatsakis Allow specifying bounds on type parameters in a where clause as well as inline. This is more expressive and neater in the presence of many type parameters or bounds. Mostly positive feedback. Some worries around having inline bounds and where clauses. Some worries about the 'multiple dispatch' part of the proposal. Update (Niko) and to be merged
https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/155 - require impl MyStruct
to be nearby the definition of MyStruct
- apoelstra
Require impls without traits to be in the same module as the types they are impls for. Solves a problem with 'invisiible' static methods. But prevents a (perhaps) useful pattern of dependency injection-style adding behaviour externally.
