    @dtolnay I noticed you just archived the repos for inventory, linkme, gflags, and typetag, which I assume implies a deprecation.

    Plugin systems. At first I wanted each component to be a separate .so file and let the engine loads them dynamically. However this turns out to be extreamly hard, especially since I want asynchronous. Now I have switched to compile-time components selection. It still has one problem: the repetition of the componenet list. I have to list all components in the toml file, as well as in my main.rs. So far I only found https://github.com/dtolnay/inventory, but it looks "hacky" for me. I have also considered build scripts, but it pretty much destroyed the IDE experience.
  • What's your favourite under-rated Rust crate and why?

    I like dtolnay's inventory or linkme crates to register items in a central list, just using decentralized annotations.

    I must have gotten confused, since from your brief discussion with CAD97 it seemed like there was a way for the concepts to live separately and that Storage could complicate things in comparison. But if implementing Allocator in terms of Storage is basically equivalent and Storage is flexible enough that I could write one to pass memory out to unsafe code, that works just as well.
  • Zig and Rust
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Mar 2023
    https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1974-global-allocators.html was the original RFC.

    My vague understanding is that there's a working group https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators

    The further I get from working on Rust day to day, the less I know about these things, so that's all I've got for you.

  • Rust went from side project to world’s fastest growing language

    If you self-reference using pointers and guarantee the struct will never move, you don't even need unsafe. If you self-reference using offsets from the struct's base pointer, you need a splash of unsafe but your struct can be freely moved without invalidating its self-referential "pointers".

    Per-struct allocators are a work in progress (see https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators/issues/48).

    Not sure what "non thread local addresses" means, but in my experience Rust is pretty good at sending data between threads (without moving it).

    Besides that allocation is not really a problem for no_std. It's resolved by using alloc crate directly, so anything usable with custom allocators is supported. Example in dasp sources - https://github.com/RustAudio/dasp/blob/master/dasp_slice/src/boxed.rs#L14-L19 . Also worth looking at this issue to check what is usable already - https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators/issues/7
