Crate rustc_feature
source · [−]Expand description
Feature gates
This crate declares the set of past and present unstable features in the compiler.
Feature gate checking itself is done in rustc_ast_passes/src/feature_gate.rs
at the moment.
Features are enabled in programs via the crate-level attributes of
#![feature(...)] with a comma-separated list of features.
For the purpose of future feature-tracking, once a feature gate is added,
even if it is stabilized or removed, do not remove it. Instead, move the
symbol to the accepted or removed modules respectively.
Modules
accepted 🔒
List of the accepted feature gates.
active 🔒
List of the active feature gates.
Built-in attributes and
cfg flag gating.removed 🔒
List of the removed feature gates.
Structs
A template that the attribute input must match.
Only top-level shape (
#[attr] vs #[attr(...)] vs #[attr = ...]) is considered now.A set of features to be used by later passes.
Enums
How to handle multiple duplicate attributes on the same item.
Constants

the two are present, produce an error.
