Compiler version cfg

This crate provides macros for conditional compilation according to rustc compiler version, analogous to #[cfg(...)] and #[cfg_attr(...)].

[dependencies]
rustversion = "1.0"

Selectors

• #[rustversion::stable] —
  True on any stable compiler.

• #[rustversion::stable(1.34)] —
  True on exactly the specified stable compiler.

• #[rustversion::beta] —
  True on any beta compiler.

• #[rustversion::nightly] —
  True on any nightly compiler or dev build.

• #[rustversion::nightly(2019-01-01)] —
  True on exactly one nightly.

• #[rustversion::since(1.34)] —
  True on that stable release and any later compiler, including beta and nightly.

• #[rustversion::since(2019-01-01)] —
  True on that nightly and all newer ones.

• #[rustversion::before(version or date)] —
  Negative of #[rustversion::since(...)].

• #[rustversion::not(selector)] —
  Negative of any selector; for example #[rustversion::not(nightly)].

• #[rustversion::any(selectors...)] —
  True if any of the comma-separated selectors is true; for example #[rustversion::any(stable, beta)].

• #[rustversion::all(selectors...)] —
  True if all of the comma-separated selectors are true; for example #[rustversion::all(since(1.31), before(1.34))].

• #[rustversion::attr(selector, attribute)] —
  For conditional inclusion of attributes; analogous to cfg_attr.

Use cases

Providing additional trait impls as types are stabilized in the standard library without breaking compatibility with older compilers; in this case Pin<P> stabilized in Rust 1.33:

#[rustversion::since(1.33)]use std::pin::Pin;#[rustversion::since(1.33)]impl<P:MyTrait>MyTraitforPin<P>{/* ... */}

Similar but for language features; the ability to control alignment greater than 1 of packed structs was stabilized in Rust 1.33.

#[rustversion::attr(before(1.33), repr(packed))]#[rustversion::attr(since(1.33), repr(packed(2)))]structSix(i16,i32);fnmain(){println!("{}", std::mem::align_of::<Six>());}

Augmenting code with const as const impls are stabilized in the standard library. This use of const as an attribute is recognized as a special case by the rustversion::attr macro.

use std::time::Duration;#[rustversion::attr(since(1.32),const)]fnduration_as_days(dur:Duration) -> u64{
dur.as_secs() / 60 / 60 / 24}
