Triage

FCPs

1 open T-libs-api FCPs:

1 rust-lang/rust FCPs

• [merge 85766] Stabilize File::options() - (2 checkboxes left)

m-ou-se (1), yaahc (1)

Nominated

• 1 rust-lang/rust T-libs-api I-nominated items
  • [87264] proc_macro: Add an expand_literal method to TokenStream
    • expand_expr still the way to go. Spans not being perfect is okay.
    • Mara to reply.

Waiting on team

• 1 rust-lang/rust T-libs-api S-waiting-on-team items
  • [66358] Tracking issue for `UnsafeCell::raw_get`
    • David: raw_ as prefix for methods taking a 'self' pointer seems reasonable. Going to comment. Mara commented.

Needs decision

• 7 rust-lang/rust T-libs-api I-needs-decision items
  • [25053] UnsafeCell should implement the Copy trait
    • Waiting on a concrete proposal, not on team.
    • Commented and removed label.
  • [26951] P-low Abort on some large allocation requests, Panic on other
    • Jane to research and follow up. Check with allocator wg.
  • [37868] std::process::Command's current_dir behaves differently on Unix and Windows, with respect to relative exe paths
    • Needs a proposal for a solution.
    • Pinged Chris Denton for input.
  • [56889] Write::write_all erroring when encountering Ok(0) interacts poorly with the contract of Write::write
    • Does not seem like an issue? looping forever is not an option, not writing all is also not an option. so current behaviour seems like the only possibility?
    • Mara to verify and close.
  • [59878] Box<[T]> should have an IntoIter implementation.
    • Did we mix up Box<[T]> and Box<[T; N]>? Mara to check edition meeting notes. Bring up in next edition meeting.
  • [62726] Tracking issue for io_slice_advance
    • Ready for FCP? Tracking issue needs updating to match the current API. Could use examples (from std?)
    • Mara to update and kick off FCP.
  • [87228] Decide whether `asm!` and/or `global_asm!` should be exported from the prelude.
    • Posted a comment directly on the issue.
