From 4f1bf2a84946daf85f8f7283090de7e19f76fba7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Wood Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2021 15:20:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sess: default to v0 symbol mangling Rust's current mangling scheme depends on compiler internals; loses information about generic parameters (and other things) which makes for a worse experience when using external tools that need to interact with Rust symbol names; is inconsistent; and can contain `.` characters which aren't universally supported. Therefore, Rust has defined its own symbol mangling scheme which is defined in terms of the Rust language, not the compiler implementation; encodes information about generic parameters in a reversible way; has a consistent definition; and generates symbols that only use the characters `A-Z`, `a-z`, `0-9`, and `_`. Support for the new Rust symbol mangling scheme has been added to upstream tools that will need to interact with Rust symbols (e.g. debuggers). This commit changes the default symbol mangling scheme from the legacy scheme to the new Rust mangling scheme.
