cargo libc 0.2.190

3 hours ago

There is now a single config for enabling 64-bit time_t: libc_unstable_time64. This can be set
unconditionally; it opts in to 64-bit time_t on the following platforms that use 32-bit by
default:

  • 32-bit Linux-GNU
  • 32-bit Linux-uClibc
  • 32-bit Linux-musl. Note that setting this flag also enables some other changes that happend in
    musl v1.2.
  • 32-bit Windows-GNU
  • ESP-IDF (all targets with this environment are 32-bit)

Most other 32-bit platforms are either already using 64-bit time_t, or are considered legacy
and will not be gaining support from their upstream maintainers.

You can enable this using RUSTFLAGS:

RUSTFLAGS='--cfg=libc_unstable_time64' cargo ...

Note that there may still be some changes to features gated by this config option, hence "unstable"
in its name. In the near future we will rename it to just libc_time64. Until then, please test it
out and report any bugs you find!

Removed

libc exposed quite a bit of API on all Apple platforms that is not actually available anywhere other than MacOS. This release removes a number of these cases.

  • breaking Apple: Disable mach.h API on Apple mobile OSs (e6bfb187513c)
  • breaking Apple: Remove a large number of items from iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS that are only available on MacOS. (#5158)
  • breaking Apple: Remove the unsupported exec* and fork calls from tvOS and watchOS (#5158)

Additionally, this release cleans up a lot of API that has been deprecated since at least libc 0.2.100, released 2021-08-20.

  • breaking Android, Linux: remove unsound af_alg_iv trait implementations. The have been deprecated for a long time because they allowed out-of-bounds reads via safe functions. (444db4456f38)
  • breaking Remove most items that have been deprecated since before 0.2.100 (#5401)

Other removed items:

  • Dragonfly: Remove INHERIT_ZERO that does not exist upstream (#5587)
  • Musl riscv64: Remove GNU-gated REG_* definitions (#5527)
  • Musl riscv64: Remove non-esxistant REG_NARGS (#5527)

A huge thank you to our GSoC student Adam Martinez (@dybucc) who did a
huge amount of the time64 work, as well as many of the platform fixes!
