Rename `target.abi` to `target.cfg_abi` and enum-ify llvm_abiname See [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/131828-t-compiler/topic/De-spaghettifying.20ABI.20controls/with/578893542) for more context. Discussed a bit in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/153769#discussion_r2934399038 too. This renames `target.abi` to `target.cfg_abi` to make it less likely that someone will use it to determine things about the actual ccABI, i.e. the calling convention used on the target. `target.abi` does not control that calling convention, it just *sometimes* informs the user about that calling convention (and also about other aspects of the ABI). Also turn llvm_abiname into an enum to make it more natural to match on. Cc @workingjubilee @madsmtm
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
