Need to ping BurntSushi. - No open concerns (probably no discussion required in meeting): - [[79213](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79213#issuecomment-730632811)] *`core::slice::fill`* - [[79134](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79134#issuecomment-731632271)] *division by NonZeroU*`* - [[79022](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79022#issuecomment-726890403)] *deque_range* - [[77858](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77858)] *split_inclusive* - [[74699](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74699)] *`-1` as niche for file descriptors* - Started FCP in last meeting. - [[78083](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78083)] *Entry::or_insert_with_key* - Inactionable: - [[70904](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70904)] *seek_convenience* - Discussed last meeting, waiting for response from author. - [5 `rust-lang/rfcs` FCPs](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+label%3AT-libs+label%3Aproposed-final-comment-period) - None to discuss now. - No open concerns (probably no discussion required in meeting): - [[3007](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3007)] *make core and std's panic identical* - FCP to close: - [[2944](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2944)] *Freeze trait* - [[2708](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2708)] *generic pointer to field* - Ongoing discussion on the PR: - [[2580](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2580)] *pointer metadata & vtable* - [[2859](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2859)] *secret types* **Nominated** - [2 `rust-lang/rfcs` items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3AT-libs+label%3AI-nominated) - [[2979](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2979)] *Libs Governance* Did we want to make some time to look at this in more detail? - [[2477](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2477)] *[]::group_by[_mut]* - Discussed last meeting, but we still need to reply. (Keep in mind an implementation PR was previously closed in favor of an RFC, but not necessary) - [19 `rust-lang/rust` items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3AT-libs+label%3AI-nominated) - [[78634](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78634)] *proc_macro::Ident == strings* - Discussed last meeting, but we still need to reply. - [[63171](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63171)] *f32 formatting* Not only digits *after* the decimal point get truncated to the shortest possible representation. The digits *before* the decimal point get truncated and then padded with zeros, leading to confusiong results. Should we only truncate if it makes the representation shorter? E.g. `0.3` instead of `0.30000001...`, but not `123456790000000000` instead of `123456790519087104`. - For many of these I'm not sure why they were nominated. - Removed `I-nominated` from tracking issues with no discussion where an stabilization PR was started. - Many of these can probably go for a stabilization PR. We should let the submitter know that's an option. **Waiting on team** - [12 `rust-lang/rust` items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3AT-libs+label%3AS-waiting-on-team) - [[75065](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75065)] *Format Duration with "us" instead of "μs"* - [0 `rust-lang/rfcs` items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3AT-libs+label%3AS-waiting-on-team) **Needs decision** - [`rust-lang/rust` items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3AT-libs+label%3AI-needs-decision) - (13 open) ## Notes - 77853: Add a dummy generic signature so we're less likely to break the shape of the method in the future and stabilize. - [x] **Replied.** - 63171: We do strange things with floating point rendering. Do want to try fix this? We're happy to try and fix this up. - [x] **Replied.** - 65798: There's not much left blocking this. Submit a PR with an `IntoIterator` impl on `[T; N]`, possibly consider stabilizing `array::IntoIter::new`. - [x] **Replied.** - 75065: We need to reply to this somehow. It will probably stay the status-quo. If we want to fix this _somehow_ it should be broader than this specific case. - [x] **Replied.** - 37984: We can't really do this even if we want to. - [x] **Replied.** - 2848 (rfc): Ideally, we don't want `Range` to implement `Iterator`, and we do want it to implement `Copy`. We could consider implementing a `ops2` module with "fixed" `Range` in it. - [x] **Replied.** - Make an overview of what we're doing for 2021 so we can actually clearly communicate it. Do we want a way for libraries to have some visibility to switch on editions? `#[cfg(edition = "2021")]`. - [x] **Done.** ## Actions - [x] Reply to all issues/PRs discussed in the [last meeting](https://hackmd.io/6p19j-6sRGu5mAInWOv_Ag?view#Notes). - [ ] Reply to all issues/PRs discussed in this meeting. - [x] Go through [`I-nominated` issues](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3AT-libs+label%3AI-nominated): - Many of these can probably go for a stabilization PR. We should let the submitter know that's an option.
