Having to build your own version of the compiler to fix this annoyance is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It should be a simple flag, whichever way the default, but it shouldn't require building a compiler.
That's nuts, both in a bad and a good way.
- anonymoushn 4y agoI have my own version of the stdlib because I don't think formatting a number with leading zeroes should involve parsing UTF-8. It's pretty easy! I once said I would like arrays of 33 or more items to be Default and my resident Rustacean told me step 1 is to rebuild libcore after changing the appropriate macro :)
- Gibbon1 4y agoThat funny. I have one where octal is banned.
- chienandalou 4y agoI agree, it should be a flag. Or it should be a warning in debug builds, and an error in release builds. I'm not sure it's nuts to build the compiler to 'fix' this, though. Customizing and building a tool really isn't such a big deal when you think about it.
