Rust Compiler Performance Triage

A mixed week, with some nice wins, but also at least two PR's that were subsequently reverted, such as the upgrade to LLVM 16. We do want to note PR #108944, which cut down on crate metadata, binary sizes, and was an overall win on execution time for many benchmarks.

Triage done by @pnkfelix. Revision range: 00587489..ef03fda3

1 Regressions, 4 Improvements, 11 Mixed; 2 of them in rollups 37 artifact comparisons made in total

Tracking Issues & PRs

New and Updated RFCs

  • No New or Updated RFCs were created this week.

Call for Testing

An important step for RFC implementation is for people to experiment with the implementation and give feedback, especially before stabilization. The following RFCs would benefit from user testing before moving forward:

  • No RFCs issued a call for testing this week.

If you are a feature implementer and would like your RFC to appear on the above list, add the new call-for-testing label to your RFC along with a comment providing testing instructions and/or guidance on which aspect(s) of the feature need testing.

Quote of the Week

The generated program is a random sequence of bytes that just happens to take the shape of a seemingly working program by accident. Such is the joy of code that causes UB. You cannot deduce anything from what happens when you execute a program with UB, since that act is by itself meaningless. You need to establish that your program has no UB before making any inference based on what you see the program do after it came out of the compiler.

Ralf Jung on github
