Thanks for the notification! Frankly I'm unsure of the rust impact to crash utility, because we haven't recieved any rust related cases against crash both upstream and redhat internal. I suspect the reason is that rust hasn't been widely used among kernel. There are a few places in crash which deals with C style symbols, such as providing gdb with a function or an address, asking gdb to disassemble it, and analyzing its outputs. Since the symbol style differs for C and rust, I guess there will be failings. In addition, I see there is rust-gdb, which has a wrapper above gdb for pretty-printing of rust variables, and I guess the wrapper will be somehow needed in crash. So there are plenty of jobs to do before we claim rust is fully supported in crash. However, I'm not object to rust enablement in kernel. In fact, our team had already set goals relating to this topic, it is expected that more rust bugs/features will coming in, and I'm happy to work on the improvement in crash. Let's see if other people have insights. @lijiang1 @prudo1 -- _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
