Announcements

  • Today dot release 1.84.1 is out (blog post)
  • Compiler Team Planning meeting at time:2025-01-31T16:00:00:00+01
    • List of open meeting proposals
    • If we could schedule this one compiler-team#813 would unblock work by @jdonszelmann and @Celina Val
    • Work is happening at rust#128045 (originally started by Felix) which is T-lang nominated but this comment from @oli indicates that … it's not blocked on T-lang?
  • Reminder: if you see a PR/issue that seems like there might be legal implications due to copyright/IP/etc, please let us know (or at least message @davidtwco or @Wesley Wiser so we can pass it along).

Performance logs

triage logs

Relatively quiet week, with one large-ish regression that will be reverted.
#132666 produced a nice perf. win, by skipping
unnecessary work. This PR actually reversed a regression caused by a previous PR.

  • Small regression on doc builds.
  • It's unclear which PR caused the regression, as our automation for unrolling PRs has failed here
    for some reason.
  • I don't think that it's worth it to manually post PR reverts and perf. test them for this kind of
    a doc regression.

Nominated Issues

T-compiler

  • "Improve documentation when adding a new target" rust#135992
    • T-compiler was asked to review the wording, specifically the part about the new target needing to also be supported by cc-rs and libc support (which needs rustc support first, creating a cyclic dependency)
    • Discussed also on the Zulip thread

RFC

  • No I-compiler-nominated RFCs this time.
