How Rust Compiles - Noratrieb | EuroRust 2025 *How Rust Compiles - Noratrieb at EuroRust 2025 🦀* Whenever you run cargo build, you get a native executable. To see how rustc gets there, we’ll break down the high-level architecture of Rust’s…

Have you ever wondered how Rust compiles? Then we hope you didn’t miss @noratrieb.dev's talk at last year’s EuroRust! Find out how the individual parts like LLVM and the linker work together to make magic happen! 🦀✨

it had some CI to check binary size changes but it caused too many problems and was removed again. something like it could be added again.
even then, I'm not too worried about this here. the code is sufficiently weird that I expect people will quickly see the history and learn why it's this way

my favorite one was moving a variable declaration of a Vec down to where it was used instead of the start of the function, so that early returns before that didn't need to worry about dropping it

Optimize proc maps parsing code size by Noratrieb · Pull Request #729 · rust-lang/backtrace-rs The current code size is really wastefully large. Originally, it was 1500 lines of assembly in Godbolt, now I reduced it to just under 800. The effect of .text size in hello world is from 297028 to...

github.com/rust-lang/ba... I optimized the size of every Rust binary (that uses std) by over 1kb :). It's not a lot but it's something! There were some easy size optimizations around placing function boundaries to reuse code, and in the end I went all in with some unsafe to remove bounds checks :3.

Did you know that where I live, the tax office maintains a separate database of residents from the main registry and that the sync is not very good?
I didn't either until I got my tax bills addressed to Mr. Nora

that word is doing a lot of heavy lifting

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

today is the first time since 1988 that the united states is not observing world AIDS day

in fact, per STAT, the state department has forbidden federal employees AND GRANTEES to not utilize any funding to promote or commemorate this day

lock returning a Result was a big mistake in mutexes API

though atom one dark is also really good

vscode default dark

waffle 😭

it seems quite likely that autism caused async rust

if only there was a lint in the compiler that could have told them that this is wrong, something about "invalid reference casting" maybe? surely that would have been very helpful to them and they wouldn't have just suppressed it

it's not, it's undefined behavior

117 countries... or 540 empire state buildings (according to the article). which makes the number seem a lot smaller. It sure uses a lot of energy and it would be better if it didn't, but I feel like "117 countries" is a bit misleading and makes people think it uses more energy than it does

with more up to date distros you at least get exciting bugs that haven't been fixed and therefore don't feel like a total waste of your time

though getting software that works well has, in my personal experience, never been the goal of debian stable, since often you just get software with bugs that have already been fixed, which I've encountered several times and is always very frustrating

i agree that it's an unreasonable expectation to have for Rust, but it is one that has very much been set by C.

i think debian should just aggressively backport rustc versions to ensure that people get actually usable software

this is actually a thing that happens, where people install rustc from debian, because that's how they also installed their C compiler, and then get sad that most new projects don't build.

there's a reason some crates have "debian stable" as their MSRV, but most understandably don't

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund!

Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that.

the current heuristic is one CGU for each module, and then merging the smallest CGUs until the amount matches the desired amount
