A lot of embedded stuff needs nightly. Or at least, it was like this a year or two ago.
A related issue is that for many companies "stable" means the version shipped with Ubuntu LTS.
- couchand 5y agoDepends on the architecture: ARM for instance is a tier 1 target and you can use stable.
- steveklabnik 5y agoThis is true for aarch64, but if you're not doing an embedded-linux style project, it's very likely you'll need nightly for inline assembly, though a significant chunk of that is being stabilized as we speak (though sadly not yet enough for my work...)
- couchand 5y agoGood point. Though you can always link to .S for that last bit, right? I don't mean to tell you your business, I know you folks are doing much more intense stuff than I am. It doesn't surprise me that you'd know exactly what's keeping you from using stable.
- steveklabnik 5y agoIt's all good, you're not wrong! It would just add a lot of complexity to the build for not a ton of gain...
