Jul 9, 2025Make sure `fmt-write-bloat` doesn't vacuously pass on no symbols Previously, the test only checks for the absence of certain panic symbols, but having no symbols was also a possible albeit vacuous way to satisfy this assertion. Fix this by checking we at least observe the `main` symbol which is always expected to be present. Noticed in #142841 (comment). r? `@ChrisDenton` try-job: x86_64-msvc-*

Oct 17, 2025…enton Make sure `fmt-write-bloat` doesn't vacuously pass on no symbols This PR fixes the `tests/run-make/fmt-write-float/` run-make test to both (1) not vacuously pass on no symbols at all, and (2) compare panics symbols under optimizations versus no optimizations. ### Context Previously, the test only checks for the absence of certain panic symbols, but having no symbols was also a possible albeit vacuous way to satisfy this assertion.

Nov 2, 2025This test suffers from multiple issues that make it very, very difficult to fix, and even if fixed, it would still be too fragile. For some background context, this test tries to check that the optimization introduced in [PR-78122] is not regressed. The optimization is for eliding `usize` formatting machinery and padding code from the final binary. Previously, writing any `fmt::Arguments` would cause the `usize` formatting and padding machinery to be included in the final binary since indexing used in `fmt::write` generates code using `panic_bounds_check` (that prints the index and length). Those bounds check are never hit, since `fmt::Arguments` never contain any out-of-bounds indicies. The `Makefile` version of `fmt-write-bloat` was ported to the present `rmake.rs` test infra in [PR-128147]. However, this PR just tries to maintain the original test logic. The original test, it turns out, already have multiple limitations: - It only runs on non-Windows, since the `no_std` test of the original version tries to link against a `libc`. [PR-128807] worked around this by using a substitute name. We re-enabled this test in [PR-142841], but it turns out the assertions are too weak, it will even vacuously pass for no symbols at all. - In [PR-143669], we tried to make this test more robust by comparing the set of expected versus unexpected panic-related symbols, subject to if std was built with debug assertions. However, in working on [PR-143669], we've come to realize that this test is fundamentally very fragile: - The set of panic symbols depend on whether the standard library was built with or without debug assertions. - Different platforms often have different sets of panic machinery modules, functions and paths, and thus different sets of panic symbols. For instance, x86_64 msvc and i686 msvc have different panic codepaths. - This comes back to the way the test is trying to gauge the absence of panic symbols -- it tries to look for symbol substring matches for "known" panic symbols. This is fundamentally fragile, because the test is trying to peek into the symbols of the resultant binary post-linking, based on fuzzy matches (the symbols are mangled as well). Based on this assessment, we determined that we should remove this test. This is not intended to exclude the possibility of reintroducing a more robust version of this test. For instance, we could consider some kind of more controllable post-link "end product" integration codegen test suite.
