version_check/

lib.rs

//! This tiny crate checks that the running or installed `rustc` meets some
//! version requirements. The version is queried by calling the Rust compiler
//! with `--version`. The path to the compiler is determined first via the
//! `RUSTC` environment variable. If it is not set, then `rustc` is used. If
//! that fails, no determination is made, and calls return `None`.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! **Note:** Please see [feature detection] for a note on enabling unstable
//! features based on detection via this crate.
//!
//! [feature detection]: crate#feature-detection
//!
//! * Set a `cfg` flag in `build.rs` if the running compiler was determined to
//!   be at least version `1.13.0`:
//!
//!   ```rust
//!   extern crate version_check as rustc;
//!
//!   if rustc::is_min_version("1.13.0").unwrap_or(false) {
//!       println!("cargo:rustc-cfg=question_mark_operator");
//!   }
//!   ```
//!
//!   See [`is_max_version`] or [`is_exact_version`] to check if the compiler
//!   is _at most_ or _exactly_ a certain version.
//!   <br /><br />
//!
//! * Check that the running compiler was released on or after `2018-12-18`:
//!
//!   ```rust
//!   extern crate version_check as rustc;
//!
//!   match rustc::is_min_date("2018-12-18") {
//!       Some(true) => "Yep! It's recent!",
//!       Some(false) => "No, it's older.",
//!       None => "Couldn't determine the rustc version."
//!   };
//!   ```
//!
//!   See [`is_max_date`] or [`is_exact_date`] to check if the compiler was
//!   released _prior to_ or _exactly on_ a certain date.
//!   <br /><br />
//!
//! * Check that the running compiler supports feature flags:
//!
//!   ```rust
//!   extern crate version_check as rustc;
//!
//!   match rustc::is_feature_flaggable() {
//!       Some(true) => "Yes! It's a dev or nightly release!",
//!       Some(false) => "No, it's stable or beta.",
//!       None => "Couldn't determine the rustc version."
//!   };
//!   ```
//!
//!   Please see the note on [feature detection].
//!   <br /><br />
//!
//! * Check that the running compiler supports a specific feature:
//!
//!   ```rust
//!   extern crate version_check as rustc;
//!
//!   if let Some(true) = rustc::supports_feature("doc_cfg") {
//!      println!("cargo:rustc-cfg=has_doc_cfg");
//!   }
//!   ```
//!
//!   Please see the note on [feature detection].
//!   <br /><br />
//!
//! * Check that the running compiler is on the stable channel:
//!
//!   ```rust
//!   extern crate version_check as rustc;
//!
//!   match rustc::Channel::read() {
//!       Some(c) if c.is_stable() => format!("Yes! It's stable."),
//!       Some(c) => format!("No, the channel {} is not stable.", c),
//!       None => format!("Couldn't determine the rustc version.")
//!   };
//!   ```
//!
//! To interact with the version, release date, and release channel as structs,
//! use [`Version`], [`Date`], and [`Channel`], respectively. The [`triple()`]
//! function returns all three values efficiently.
//!
//! # Feature Detection
//!
//! While this crate can be used to determine if the current compiler supports
//! an unstable feature, no crate can determine whether that feature will work
//! in a way that you expect ad infinitum. If the feature changes in an
//! incompatible way, then your crate, as well as all of its transitive
//! dependents, will fail to build. As a result, great care should be taken when
//! enabling nightly features even when they're supported by the compiler.
//!
//! One common mitigation used in practice is to make using unstable features
//! transitively opt-in via a crate feature or `cfg` so that broken builds only
//! affect those that explicitly asked for the feature. Another complementary
//! approach is to probe `rustc` at build-time by asking it to compile a small
//! but exemplary program that determines whether the feature works as expected,
//! enabling the feature only if the probe succeeds. Finally, eschewing these
//! recommendations, you should track the `nightly` channel closely to minimize
//! the total impact of a nightly breakages.
//!
//! # Alternatives
//!
//! This crate is dead simple with no dependencies. If you need something more
//! and don't care about panicking if the version cannot be obtained, or if you
//! don't mind adding dependencies, see
//! [rustc_version](https://crates.io/crates/rustc_version).
