Version 1.64.0 (2022-09-22)
===========================

Language
--------
- [make `const_err` show up in future breakage reports](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97743/)
- [allow unions with mutable references and tuples of allowed types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97995/)
- It is now considered valid to deallocate memory pointed to by a shared reference `&T` [if every byte in `T` is inside an `UnsafeCell`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98017/)
- Unused tuple struct fields are now warned against in an allow-by-default lint, [`unused_tuple_struct_fields`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95977/), similar to the existing warning for unused struct fields. This lint will become warn-by-default in the future.

Compiler
--------
- The minimum required versions for all `-linux-gnu` targets are now at least kernel 3.2 and glibc 2.17, for targets that previously supported older versions: [Increase the minimum linux-gnu versions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95026/)
- [Keep unstable target features for asm feature checking](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99155/)
- [Add Nintendo Switch as tier 3 target](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/88991/)
- Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.
- [Only compile #[used] as llvm.compiler.used for ELF targets](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/93718/)
- [sess: stabilize `-Zterminal-width` as `--diagnostic-width`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95635/)

- [Suggest defining variable as mutable on `&mut _` type mismatch in pats](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98431/)
- [Emit warning when named arguments are used positionally in format](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98580/)
- [Add support for link-flavor rust-lld for iOS, tvOS and watchOS](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98771/)
- [Do not mention private types from other crates as impl candidates](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99091/)

Libraries
---------
- [Implement network primitives with ideal Rust layout, not C system layout](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78802/)
- [Remove restrictions on compare-exchange memory ordering.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98383/)

These APIs are now usable in const contexts:

- [`slice::from_raw_parts`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/core/slice/fn.from_raw_parts.html)

Cargo
-----
- Packages can now inherit settings from the workspace so that the settings
can be centralized in one place. See
[`workspace.package`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-workspacepackage-table)
and
[`workspace.dependencies`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-workspacedependencies-table)
for more details on how to define these common settings.
[#10859](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10859)
- Cargo commands can now accept multiple `--target` flags to build for
multiple targets at once, and the
[`build.target`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/config.html#buildtarget)
config option may now take an array of multiple targets.
[#10766](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10766)
- The `--jobs` argument can now take a negative number to count backwards from
the max CPUs.
[#10844](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10844)
- `cargo add` will now update `Cargo.lock`.
[#10902](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10902)
- Added the
[`--crate-type`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/commands/cargo-rustc.html#option-cargo-rustc---crate-type)
flag to `cargo rustc` to override the crate type.
[#10838](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10838)
- Significantly improved the performance fetching git dependencies from GitHub
when using a hash in the `rev` field.
[#10079](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10079)

Misc
----
- [Let rust-analyzer ship on stable, non-preview](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98640/)

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- The minimum required versions for all `-linux-gnu` targets are now at least kernel 3.2 and glibc 2.17, for targets that previously supported older versions: [Increase the minimum linux-gnu versions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95026/)
- [Implement network primitives with ideal Rust layout, not C system layout](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78802/)
- [Add assertion that `transmute_copy`'s U is not larger than T](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98839/)
- [A soundness bug in `BTreeMap` was fixed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99413/) that allowed data it was borrowing to be dropped before the container.
- [The Drop behavior of C-like enums cast to ints has changed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96862/). These are already discouraged by a compiler warning.
- [Relate late-bound closure lifetimes to parent fn in NLL](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98835/)
- [Errors at const-eval time are now in future incompatibility reports](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97743/)
- On the `thumbv6m-none-eabi` target, some incorrect `asm!` statements were erroneously accepted if they used the high registers (r8 to r14) as an input/output operand. [This is no longer accepted](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99155/).
- [`impl Trait` was accidentally accepted as the associated type value of return-position `impl Trait`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97346/), without fulfilling all the trait bounds of that associated type, as long as the hidden type satisfies said bounds. This has been fixed.

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
tools.

- Windows builds now use profile-guided optimization, providing 10-20% improvements to compiler performance: [Utilize PGO for windows x64 rustc dist builds](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96978/)
- [Stop keeping metadata in memory before writing it to disk](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96544/)
- [compiletest: strip debuginfo by default for mode=ui](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98140/)
- Many improvements to generated code for derives, including performance improvements:
- [Don't use match-destructuring for derived ops on structs.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98446/)
- [Many small deriving cleanups](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98741/)
- [More derive output improvements](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98758/)
- [Clarify deriving code](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98915/)
- [Final derive output improvements](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99046/)
- [Stop injecting `#[allow(unused_qualifications)]` in generated `derive` implementations](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99485/)
- [Improve `derive(Debug)`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98190/)
- [Bump to clap 3](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98213/)
- [fully move dropck to mir](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98641/)
- [Optimize `Vec::insert` for the case where `index == len`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98755/)
- [Convert rust-analyzer to an in-tree tool](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99603/)
