GCC Rust Monthly Report #12 November 2021

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress November was a busy month where we added lang item’s and operator overloading, particularly dereference operator overloading, which is critical in terms of a control flow for method resolution. The remaining tasks are merging enum code generation […]

Milestone Progress To complete the Traits milestone, I need to finish my work on super-traits, dynamic trait objects, and operator overloading support. The remaining items will be closed out by these higher-level features. Traits were always going to be […]

GCC Rust Weekly Status Report 25

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress Traits have progressed well since the last report; associated types took some experimentation to implement the Placeholder Type correctly such that we resolve the relative type correctly. Now that we have a solid base of associated types […]
