Can't compile on rustc 1.74.1

[devyn]

Hi,

The latest version uses std::ptr::from_mut (it looks like to fix a clippy warning), but that was only just stabilized in 1.76.0.

Nushell is building on 1.74 at the moment, and can't build anymore with the latest version. This is a breaking change to minimum Rust version.

See: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12182#issuecomment-1992734092

Would you please replace with something that works on 1.74, or bump major and clarify minimum rust version in Cargo.toml?

Thanks.

I'll fix this today.

I've never specified (or worries about much) minimum rust version...but doing to is good I think...

I'll probably need to test it in the matrix too.

1.74 stable,.right?

Yes. Thanks!

I'm not seeing the failure in CI on 1.74.1 or locally (on macos using act). PR (so far just added that version of rust to the matrix) here

Any ideas?

These are the errors it's giving in nushell. I think ptr_from_ref may have been stabilized recently.

Can you give some more details about where those errors are from, OS versions, rustc versions etc - as I'd like to reproduce the problem in CI before putting in place fixes for it, and controls to avoid a re-occurrance?

When I try with stable 1.74.1 on macos and linux, I do not see those failures.

thanks

[fdncred]

Sure. They're from me building nushell with cargo install --path . --features=dataframe

OK, reproduced locally - now I need to "fix" (i.e. break) CI....

[andrewdavidmackenzie]

At last! https://github.com/andrewdavidmackenzie/libproc-rs/actions/runs/8267240156/job/22617146403?pr=128

There was a bug in my GH Action that hid this. I will now push a fix and release later tonight. (annoyingly, I cannot reproduce in local with act either :-( )

[andrewdavidmackenzie]

Fixed and a new minor version pushed to crates.io. https://crates.io/crates/libproc/0.14.6

I'll do the github release later tonight.

[fdncred]

Thanks so much for your help and responsiveness @andrewdavidmackenzie !!!

[devyn]

Seconded. Thank you!
