libs-team VS log

In rust, both release and debug builds use a release version of the runtime. The bugs the debug version is meant to catch are much more difficult to hit in rust (often but not always requiring unsafe). There isn't currently a feature to use the debug runtime in rust-- you can only change C to match for those debug builds.

Note that this has been discussed at length (and I do mean "at length") here: https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/72

The Compiler Team, especially the Diagnostics Working Group that improves compiler error messages. The Libs Team, for work on the contents of the standard library documentation

See https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/72#issuecommen... for what I believe is an exhaustive list of possible ways of helping the situation.

The point is how the MSRV of a popular crate affects this dynamic for other crates. For an even more extreme example than time, see here for libc, with many heavyweights offering opinions: https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/72

In case you haven't seen it yet, there is a very long discussion surrounding MSRV policy of the libc crate on rust-langs github repo. It's about a library, not a binary, but I think there's a lot of information in the thread, some of which will also apply to binaries.

Would you mind sharing your use case for being stuck with a particular version of Rust and why you can't upgrade? In particular with the libs team: https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/72

Compare Stepanov's brilliant design of the STL to Rust's current reworking of their 'binary search api'. https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/81

Maybe 'memory safety' isn't the most important thing in this world. To me, writing software that does useful things in the simplest and most correct way is what matters. I get the feeling it's harder to understand my program's correctness with Rust (I mean algorithmic correctness). The C++ standard library has time and space complexity for every algorithm. I'm not seeing that's the case with Rust (correct me if I'm wrong).

There's also the pretty fundamental libc crate that wants to choose an MSRV policy and you can see the full discussion here: https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/72

log: Logging interface with various levels.

Depends on your logging crate. log does not depend on any async runtime.

log

It's a for-fun project that provides a configurable implementation for the log crate. This language and community is awesome, and I hope some of you get a kick out of this!

Firstly I would start by taking a look at how crates using log actually resolve this. Particularly the set_boxed_logger which simply calls Box::leak.

You might want to look at log and simple_log.

4) Another route that I tried is to develop a simple terminal app using SwiftUI with a Xcode project to build that app + link against a Rust library compiled for iOS with the actual logic. I used swift-bridge for this and it works really well, to the point where I have a custom logger that you can simply use the print stuff to SwiftUI from Rust using the log crate. Once I have a bit more time, I will probably try figuring out how to clean this up a bit more.
