OpenBSD 7.5 Released
It would be great for Rust to have a Linux target that doesn't use libc, but from what I've read, not many people are interested in this.
Found this as well: https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang
Some discussion here: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix/issues/76

Rust criticism from a Rustacean
Without actually having looked into this, how does https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix fit into points 1 & 2?

Integrating rustix on NuttX
Hi Rust experts, we are willing to integrate rustix on NuttX RTOS, the initial effort was done by rustix author: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix/tree/nuttx but it hit the wall since we don't know the right way to integrate cargo with the old-school NuttX's Makefiles. Any help or suggestion is welcome. More about NuttX here: https://nuttx.apache.org and here: https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/

Pgwm 0.3 a pure rust `no_std` no libc window manager.
Have you considered using rustix? It provides many of the facilities of std without using libc.

-
Will Rust drop dependency on libc and make direct system calls? when ? (Please don't mention no_std case)
rustix can make syscalls directly to Linux. There's a rustc fork that can use it to build std.
-
Can rust be entirely written in rust and drop C usage in its code base ?
The rustix project claims to use raw syscalls (and vDSO calls) on linux and provides more memory / type safety compared to the libc API.

memmapix: A pure Rust library for cross-platform memory mapped IO, which replace libc with rustix.
Hi, the reason is explained by the description of https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix.

What crates would you add to a "batteries-included" library for Rust?
Please consider rustix as an alternative to nix.

Can I force rust to treat stdlib like other crates in terms of linkage?
I don't know which symbols are missing, haven't done anything on the llvm level. But I had the same problems creating a no-std no-libc application, if you add https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-builtins as a dependency you should get all the symbols you need, std uses the same but if you want to use it outside of std you'll need nightly since it uses a lot a nightly features. It might apply to your case as well.

Converting Integers to Floats Using Hyperfocus
There's a PR to the compiler-builtins crate which the rust implementation is based on.

rustc + avr = lovelove back again!
I'm glad to inform y'all that after a year, the infamous LLVM ERROR: Not supported instr bug¹ has been finally fixed and today's nightly can compile for AVR back again! 😎

Porting Rust's std to rustix
Then, some of the non-trivial things that are needed are already implemented and maintained in other crates, like memcpy and friends in compiler-builtins, all the math routines in libm and malloc in dlmalloc.
