1 //! # The Rust Core Library
3 //! The Rust Core Library is the dependency-free[^free] foundation of [The
4 //! Rust Standard Library](../std/index.html). It is the portable glue
5 //! between the language and its libraries, defining the intrinsic and
6 //! primitive building blocks of all Rust code. It links to no
7 //! upstream libraries, no system libraries, and no libc.
9 //! [^free]: Strictly speaking, there are some symbols which are needed but
10 //! they aren't always necessary.
12 //! The core library is *minimal*: it isn't even aware of heap allocation,
13 //! nor does it provide concurrency or I/O. These things require
14 //! platform integration, and this library is platform-agnostic.
16 //! # How to use the core library
18 //! Please note that all of these details are currently not considered stable.
20 // FIXME: Fill me in with more detail when the interface settles
21 //! This library is built on the assumption of a few existing symbols:
23 //! * `memcpy`, `memcmp`, `memset` - These are core memory routines which are
24 //! often generated by LLVM. Additionally, this library can make explicit
25 //! calls to these functions. Their signatures are the same as found in C.
26 //! These functions are often provided by the system libc, but can also be
27 //! provided by the [compiler-builtins crate](https://crates.io/crates/compiler_builtins).
29 //! * `rust_begin_panic` - This function takes four arguments, a
30 //! `fmt::Arguments`, a `&'static str`, and two `u32`'s. These four arguments
31 //! dictate the panic message, the file at which panic was invoked, and the
32 //! line and column inside the file. It is up to consumers of this core
33 //! library to define this panic function; it is only required to never
34 //! return. This requires a `lang` attribute named `panic_impl`.
36 //! * `rust_eh_personality` - is used by the failure mechanisms of the
37 //! compiler. This is often mapped to GCC's personality function, but crates
38 //! which do not trigger a panic can be assured that this function is never
39 //! called. The `lang` attribute is called `eh_personality`.
41 // Since libcore defines many fundamental lang items, all tests live in a
42 // separate crate, libcoretest, to avoid bizarre issues.
44 // Here we explicitly #[cfg]-out this whole crate when testing. If we don't do
45 // this, both the generated test artifact and the linked libtest (which
46 // transitively includes libcore) will both define the same set of lang items,
47 // and this will cause the E0152 "found duplicate lang item" error. See
48 // discussion in #50466 for details.
50 // This cfg won't affect doc tests.
52 // To run libcore tests without x.py without ending up with two copies of libcore, Miri needs to be
53 // able to "empty" this crate. See <https://github.com/rust-lang/miri-test-libstd/issues/4>.
54 // rustc itself never sets the feature, so this line has no affect there.
