Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress This week my focus was on the linux plumbers conference so I was not able to complete any tickets for the current milestone, though I have made some good progress in investigating closures in C++ and GO […]
GCC Rust Weekly Status Report 27
Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress Last week saw lots of great progress and collaboration within the community. As a result, we can now compile code that will require the expansion of multiple files, super trait support now enforces improved type-bounds handling, and […]
GCC Rust Weekly Status Report 26
Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress This week, I finally finished the Rustc Projection Type system for associated types that inherent generic arguments. This was a complex piece of work that ultimately shapes how we handle type-bounds for super-traits and where constraints in […]
GCC Rust Monthly Report #9 August 2021
Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. 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 […]

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress We are getting closer to the end of this milestone and last week saw my long living branch finally getting merged. This branch has added the relevant code to support type bounds, which is the last building […]

Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress This week I spent the week cleaning up code, as I was working on my branch for traits I found the HIR implementation was missing a lot of desugaring. This is an important part of the HIR […]

Overview Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress This is a quiet week for GCC Rust, as I was on vacation for my 33rd Birthday. The implementation focus is now on the cleanup of the HIR structures, and for a way to represent the […]
GCC Rust Weekly Status Report 17
Overview Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress For Traits the first piece of work needed was to actually implement a trait using a trait impl block. This forms the basis to start enforcing obligations. I believe the milestones most difficult tickets hit early […]

May Overview Thanks again to Open Source Security, inc and Embecosm for their ongoing support for this project. Milestone Progress Generics were completed this month, and since then all my time has gone into planning for Traits. While developing this compiler, it has become critical to find the appropriate ordering of features such that they […]
