Calls for Testing

An important step for RFC implementation is for people to experiment with the implementation and give feedback, especially before stabilization.

If you are a feature implementer and would like your RFC to appear in this list, add a 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.

No calls for testing were issued this week by Rust, Cargo, Rustup or Rust language RFCs.

Let us know if you would like your feature to be tracked as a part of this list.

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

A fairly noisy week, with a bunch of small regressions contained within, leading to a slight increase on average in instruction counts. This week had a lot of large rollups, likely due to some CI problems, but thankfully many of those came with pre-triaged perf results by the time (thank you to those triagers!). Roughly similar slight regressions for cycles and wall times across the week.

Triage done by @simulacrum. Revision range: 4804ad7e..f3ef3bd8

2 Regressions, 0 Improvements, 10 Mixed; 5 of them in rollups 32 artifact comparisons made in total
