Appendix: As-yet-undocumented Features

As-yet-undocumented Features

Several accepted, stabilized, and implemented RFCs lack documentation in this reference, The Book, Rust by Example, or some combination of those three. Until we have written reference documentation for these features, we provide links to other sources of information about them. Therefore, expect this list to shrink!

• libstd facade
• Trait reform – some partial documentation exists (the use of Self), but not for everything: e.g. coherence and orphan rules.
• Attributes on match arms – the underlying idea is documented in the [Attributes] section, but the applicability to internal items is never specified.
• Flexible target specification - Some---but not all---flags are documented in Conditional compilation
• Unambiguous function call syntax
• Require parentheses for chained comparisons
• Integer overflow not unsafe - documented with a reference to the RFC, but requires further details
• dllimport - one element mentioned but not explained at FFI attributes
• define crt_link
• define unaligned_access
