I personally think this should be split into multiple PRs to ease the transition. Some crates are trivial to migrate, while others are not ( Not to mention, the Resources |
Totally agree, but I have got a full PR for all the changes done in #17967. It ended up being +/- 600 lines. I don't mind the idea of splitting this up into smaller PRs, but if this is acceptable the "hard work" has been done.
Absolutely. The change to import ordering alone makes that a +/- 3k diff straight away. I've postponed that issue by overriding the |
I'm surprised by the small diff, honestly, that's not too bad! It probably doesn't need to be split in that case :) |
# Objective - Fixes #17960 ## Solution - Followed the [edition upgrade guide](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/transitioning-an-existing-project-to-a-new-edition.html) ## Testing - CI --- ## Summary of Changes ### Documentation Indentation When using lists in documentation, proper indentation is now linted for. This means subsequent lines within the same list item must start at the same indentation level as the item. ```rust /* Valid */ /// - Item 1 /// Run-on sentence. /// - Item 2 struct Foo; /* Invalid */ /// - Item 1 /// Run-on sentence. /// - Item 2 struct Foo; ``` ### Implicit `!` to `()` Conversion `!` (the never return type, returned by `panic!`, etc.) no longer implicitly converts to `()`. This is particularly painful for systems with `todo!` or `panic!` statements, as they will no longer be functions returning `()` (or `Result<()>`), making them invalid systems for functions like `add_systems`. The ideal fix would be to accept functions returning `!` (or rather, _not_ returning), but this is blocked on the [stabilisation of the `!` type itself](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.never.html), which is not done. The "simple" fix would be to add an explicit `-> ()` to system signatures (e.g., `|| { todo!() }` becomes `|| -> () { todo!() }`). However, this is _also_ banned, as there is an existing lint which (IMO, incorrectly) marks this as an unnecessary annotation. So, the "fix" (read: workaround) is to put these kinds of `|| -> ! { ... }` closuers into variables and give the variable an explicit type (e.g., `fn()`). ```rust // Valid let system: fn() = || todo!("Not implemented yet!"); app.add_systems(..., system); // Invalid app.add_systems(..., || todo!("Not implemented yet!")); ``` ### Temporary Variable Lifetimes The order in which temporary variables are dropped has changed. The simple fix here is _usually_ to just assign temporaries to a named variable before use. ### `gen` is a keyword We can no longer use the name `gen` as it is reserved for a future generator syntax. This involved replacing uses of the name `gen` with `r#gen` (the raw-identifier syntax). ### Formatting has changed Use statements have had the order of imports changed, causing a substantial +/-3,000 diff when applied. For now, I have opted-out of this change by amending `rustfmt.toml` ```toml style_edition = "2021" ``` This preserves the original formatting for now, reducing the size of this PR. It would be a simple followup to update this to 2024 and run `cargo fmt`. ### New `use<>` Opt-Out Syntax Lifetimes are now implicitly included in RPIT types. There was a handful of instances where it needed to be added to satisfy the borrow checker, but there may be more cases where it _should_ be added to avoid breakages in user code. ### `MyUnitStruct { .. }` is an invalid pattern Previously, you could match against unit structs (and unit enum variants) with a `{ .. }` destructuring. This is no longer valid. ### Pretty much every use of `ref` and `mut` are gone Pattern binding has changed to the point where these terms are largely unused now. They still serve a purpose, but it is far more niche now. ### `iter::repeat(...).take(...)` is bad New lint recommends using the more explicit `iter::repeat_n(..., ...)` instead. ## Migration Guide The lifetimes of functions using return-position impl-trait (RPIT) are likely _more_ conservative than they had been previously. If you encounter lifetime issues with such a function, please create an issue to investigate the addition of `+ use<...>`. ## Notes - Check the individual commits for a clearer breakdown for what _actually_ changed. --------- Co-authored-by: François Mockers <francois.mockers@vleue.com>
Rust edition 2024 has recently released with some new features (my personal favourite is the combined doc tests for speedy testing). We should upgrade to the new edition!
