Crate rustc_feature

Feature gates

This crate declares the set of past and present unstable features in the compiler. Feature gate checking itself is done in rustc_ast_passes/src/feature_gate.rs at the moment.

Features are enabled in programs via the crate-level attributes of #![feature(...)] with a comma-separated list of features.

For the purpose of future feature-tracking, once a feature gate is added, even if it is stabilized or removed, do not remove it. Instead, move the symbol to the accepted or removed modules respectively.

Modules

• accepted 🔒
  List of the accepted feature gates.
• builtin_attrs 🔒
  Built-in attributes and cfg flag gating.
• removed 🔒
  List of the removed feature gates.
• unstable 🔒
  List of the unstable feature gates.

Structs

• AttributeTemplate
  A template that the attribute input must match. Only top-level shape (#[attr] vs #[attr(...)] vs #[attr = ...]) is considered now.
• BuiltinAttribute
• Feature
• Features
  A set of features to be used by later passes.

Enums

• AttributeDuplicates
  How to handle multiple duplicate attributes on the same item.
• AttributeGate
• AttributeType
• GateIssue
• Stability
• UnstableFeatures

Constants

• ACCEPTED_FEATURES
  Formerly unstable features that have now been accepted (stabilized).
• BUILTIN_ATTRIBUTES
  Attributes that have a special meaning to rustc or rustdoc.
• INCOMPATIBLE_FEATURES
  Some features are not allowed to be used together at the same time, if the two are present, produce an error.
• REMOVED_FEATURES
  Formerly unstable features that have now been removed.
• UNSTABLE_FEATURES
  Unstable language features that are being implemented or being considered for acceptance (stabilization) or removal.
