- [You can now use the `cfg(target_vendor)` attribute.][57465] E.g.
- `#[cfg(target_vendor="linux")] fn main() { println!("Hello Linux!"); }`
+ `#[cfg(target_vendor="apple")] fn main() { println!("Hello Apple!"); }`
- [Integer patterns such as in a match expression can now be exhaustive.][56362]
E.g. You can have match statement on a `u8` that covers `0..=255` and

- [You can now have multiple patterns in `if let` and `while let`
expressions.][57532] You can do this with the same syntax as a `match`
expression. E.g.
let state = Creature::Crab("Ferris");
if let Creature::Crab(name) | Creature::Person(name) = state {
- println!("This creature's name is: {}", name);
+ println!("This creature's name is: {}", name);
}
}
```
- [You can now have irrefutable `if let` and `while let` patterns.][57535] Using
this feature will by default produce a warning as this behaviour can be
unintuitive. E.g. `if let _ = 5 {}`

- const functions.][57175]
+- [You can now use `let` bindings, assignments, expression statements,

- [You can now call unsafe const functions.][57067] E.g.
```rust
const unsafe fn foo() -> i32 { 5 }
const fn bar() -> i32 {
- unsafe { foo() }
+ unsafe { foo() }
}
```
- [You can now specify multiple attributes in a `cfg_attr` attribute.][57332]
// Allowed as there is only one `Read` in the module.
pub trait Read {}
```
-- [`extern` functions will now abort by default when panicking.][55982]
- This was previously undefined behaviour.
+- [You may now use `Rc`, `Arc`, and `Pin` as method receivers][56805].
