`alloc` wanted features & bugfixes #408

Open ojeda opened 3 years ago

ojeda commented 3 years ago

Features that we would like to see

Required (we almost certainly want them)

Nice to have (not critical, we could workaround if needed, etc.)

Low priority (we will likely not use them in the end)

Done (stabilized, fixed, not needed anymore, etc.)

Should we try to turn 487d7578bd036ba57b0998d7af69e0bdcc595da8 into a PR for rust next?

That looks good -- it might make sense to split it into multiple pieces though.

Yeah, I think many of the new methods can likely be taken without much fuss to upstream -- I started with the easy bits first.

I am not 100% sure about whether upstream would want to use TryReserveError in all the places I used it, though.

Arc::try_pin is now merged

Arc::try_pin is now merged

Alex, we are actually deprecating Arc in favor of Ref (see #377). The only place still using it is binder; I have a long series that removes it but it still needs some cleanup before being ready for review (which is taking longer because I'm working on a hw driver now).

Good point. Well, it'll be there for the next person.
