Description
I'm filing this issue to get some testing of the offset_of
macro, whose implementation has recently been merged in #106934 .
There is already widespread use of the offset_of
macro in the ecosystem through an implementation supporting stable via the memoffset
crate, whose version 0.9.0 supports the unstable_offset_of
feature due to Gilnaa/memoffset#72. So for a lot of the users, testing out is as simple as updating memoffset
and running the tests with the unstable_offset_of
feature enabled. Thankfully, for testing one doesn't have to add that feature to Cargo.toml, creating a requirement on nightly, one can just add --features memoffset/unstable_offset_of
and it will work.
The biggest reverse dependencies of memoffset
are:
- To pick up a draggable item, press the space bar. While dragging, use the arrow keys to move the item. Press space again to drop the item in its new position, or press escape to cancel.
It would be good to go through this list, and:
- update the
memoffset
crate to 0.9.0, ideally filing a PR (but not enablingunstable_offset_of
in Cargo.toml unless the project already requires nightly!) - run
cargo +nightly test --features memoffset/unstable_offset_of
orcargo +nightly run --features memoffset/unstable_offset_of
etc, trying out the feature and seeing if something is broken, ideally also the--all
parameter if it's a workspace - tell here about the experience
In addition of that, it is useful to get feedback from any project that uses the memoffset
crate indirectly as a transitive dependency. For that, one also has to wait for the upgrade to 0.9.0 to go through the dependency chain and then one can add a direct (unused) dependency on memoffset
to enable the feature, and test it out.
For example, field-offset has a large number of reverse dependencies that one could go through also. I have made a PR for rustc in #112298.
