Struct LinkerFeatures

pub struct LinkerFeatures(InternalBitFlags);

The -Z linker-features components that can individually be enabled or disabled.

They are feature flags intended to be a more flexible mechanism than linker flavors, and also to prevent a combinatorial explosion of flavors whenever a new linker feature is required. These flags are “generic”, in the sense that they can work on multiple targets on the CLI. Otherwise, one would have to select different linkers flavors for each target.

Here are some examples of the advantages they offer:

• default feature sets for principal flavors, or for specific targets.
• flavor-specific features: for example, clang offers automatic cross-linking with --target, which gcc-style compilers don’t support. The flavor is still a C/C++ compiler, and we don’t need to multiply the number of flavors for this use-case. Instead, we can have a single +target feature.
• umbrella features: for example if clang accumulates more features in the future than just the +target above. That could be modeled as +clang.
• niche features for resolving specific issues: for example, on Apple targets the linker flag implementing the as-needed native link modifier (#99424) is only possible on sufficiently recent linker versions.
• still allows for discovery and automation, for example via feature detection. This can be useful in exotic environments/build systems.

Implementations

impl LinkerFeatures

pub const CC: Self

Invoke the linker via a C/C++ compiler (e.g. on most unix targets).

pub const LLD: Self

Use the lld linker, either the system lld or the self-contained linker rust-lld.

impl LinkerFeatures

pub const fn empty() -> Self

Get a flags value with all bits unset.

pub const fn all() -> Self

Get a flags value with all known bits set.

pub const fn bits(&self) -> u8

Get the underlying bits value.

The returned value is exactly the bits set in this flags value.

pub const fn from_bits(bits: u8) -> Option<Self>

Convert from a bits value.

This method will return None if any unknown bits are set.

pub const fn from_bits_truncate(bits: u8) -> Self

Convert from a bits value, unsetting any unknown bits.

pub const fn from_bits_retain(bits: u8) -> Self

Convert from a bits value exactly.

pub fn from_name(name: &str) -> Option<Self>

Get a flags value with the bits of a flag with the given name set.

This method will return None if name is empty or doesn’t correspond to any named flag.

pub const fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Whether all bits in this flags value are unset.

pub const fn is_all(&self) -> bool

Whether all known bits in this flags value are set.

pub const fn intersects(&self, other: Self) -> bool

pub const fn contains(&self, other: Self) -> bool

Whether all set bits in a source flags value are also set in a target flags value.

pub fn insert(&mut self, other: Self)

The bitwise or (|) of the bits in two flags values.

pub fn remove(&mut self, other: Self)

The intersection of a source flags value with the complement of a target flags value (&!).

This method is not equivalent to self & !other when other has unknown bits set. remove won’t truncate other, but the ! operator will.

pub fn toggle(&mut self, other: Self)

The bitwise exclusive-or (^) of the bits in two flags values.

pub fn set(&mut self, other: Self, value: bool)

Call insert when value is true or remove when value is false.

pub const fn intersection(self, other: Self) -> Self

The bitwise and (&) of the bits in two flags values.

pub const fn union(self, other: Self) -> Self

The bitwise or (|) of the bits in two flags values.

pub const fn difference(self, other: Self) -> Self

The intersection of a source flags value with the complement of a target flags value (&!).

This method is not equivalent to self & !other when other has unknown bits set. difference won’t truncate other, but the ! operator will.

pub const fn symmetric_difference(self, other: Self) -> Self

The bitwise exclusive-or (^) of the bits in two flags values.

pub const fn complement(self) -> Self

The bitwise negation (!) of the bits in a flags value, truncating the result.

impl LinkerFeatures

pub const fn iter(&self) -> Iter<LinkerFeatures>

Yield a set of contained flags values.

Each yielded flags value will correspond to a defined named flag. Any unknown bits will be yielded together as a final flags value.

pub const fn iter_names(&self) -> IterNames<LinkerFeatures>

Yield a set of contained named flags values.

This method is like iter, except only yields bits in contained named flags. Any unknown bits, or bits not corresponding to a contained flag will not be yielded.

impl LinkerFeatures

pub fn from_str(s: &str) -> Option<LinkerFeatures>

Parses a single -Z linker-features well-known feature, not a set of flags.

pub fn is_lld_enabled(self) -> bool

Returns whether the lld linker feature is enabled.

pub fn is_cc_enabled(self) -> bool

Returns whether the cc linker feature is enabled.
