Linux 6.6 to Bring Another Rust Toolchain Upgrade
- not_your_vase 3y agoIs there anything major (or even minor) going on regarding the Rust-in-Kernel project? It started with a reasonable momentum, but haven't heard anything notable since quite a long time.
- thesuperbigfrog 3y agoThe article links to the pull request with the latest changes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230824214024.608618-1-ojeda@kernel.org/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230824214024.608618-1-ojeda@k... Noteworthy parts include: * Upgrade to Rust 1.71.1. * Upgrade to bindgen 0.65.1. * Support rust-analyzer for out-of-tree modules * New 'paste!' proc macro. * Pinned-init API And much more. Progress is steady and stable which is very good. For Rust to really take root in major parts of the Linux kernel a firm, deep foundation needs to be laid. That work is being done and will realize great benefits later.
