Implement `fs_native_path` by ChrisDenton · Pull Request #108981 · rust-lang/rust

ChrisDenton · 2023-03-10T12:13:49Z

Implements the fs_native_path feature. See also rust-lang/libs-team#62.

Internal changes

Ultimately, I'd envision that Unix filesystem functions (for example) would simply take either an &CStr or maybe an internal &PosixPath type with relevant helper methods. However, as much as I'd love to transition immediately, I think it's more prudent to take it slower. If nothing else it'll be easier on reviewers. So this PR just moves the responsibility for creating concrete types into sys::fs while touching as little existing code as possible, which should then allow platforms to make changes at their own pace.

Hey! It looks like you've submitted a new PR for the library teams!

If this PR contains changes to any rust-lang/rust public library APIs then please comment with @rustbot label +T-libs-api -T-libs to tag it appropriately. If this PR contains changes to any unstable APIs please edit the PR description to add a link to the relevant API Change Proposal or create one if you haven't already. If you're unsure where your change falls no worries, just leave it as is and the reviewer will take a look and make a decision to forward on if necessary.

Examples of T-libs-api changes:

Stabilizing library features
Introducing insta-stable changes such as new implementations of existing stable traits on existing stable types
Introducing new or changing existing unstable library APIs (excluding permanently unstable features / features without a tracking issue)
Changing public documentation in ways that create new stability guarantees
Changing observable runtime behavior of library APIs

The Miri subtree was changed

Sorry, didn't read the description properly

ChrisDenton · 2023-03-10T13:00:15Z

At the moment, Path is still used in sys for some things like api and File::open on the smaller platforms. IMHO sys should be slightly refactored so that it always takes NativePath

Yes, I mentioned as much. However, this is more than a slight refactoring in some cases. Like you said, Path is still used in places (as well as PathBuf). I would prefer to delegate as much platform-specific changes to other PRs as possible so that they can get proper attention instead of having one giant PR that changes everything all at once.

ChrisDenton · 2023-03-10T15:10:51Z

I should do a crater run. There's at least a possibility that some weird inference thing may break this, which would be a blocker.

5 regressions and 3 fixes but none of them look relevant. So it seems like the public trait in this PR wouldn't break anything inference wise.

Unless I'm mistaken , this looks a purely T-libs patch so I'll remove the T-compiler

SUPERCILEX · 2023-05-17T16:14:44Z

So is the only remaining work after this PR to swap these to with_native_path? That's exciting!

Yeah, that's the idea! It may not be trivial in all cases though so I've left that for follow up PRs.

This still still inconsistent: why is open kept in some targets but removed in other? I would expect everything to use open_native only and for open to be removed (or possible just change the signature of open to take native path).
