<!-- date-check Oct 2024 -->
<p><a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs"><code>tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs</code></a> is a test auxiliary for
ui/codegen/assembly test suites. It provides <code>core</code> stubs for tests that need to
build for cross-compiled targets but do not need/want to run.</p>
<div class="warning">
<p>Please note that <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs"><code>minicore</code></a> is only intended for <code>core</code> items, and explicitly
<strong>not</strong> <code>std</code> or <code>alloc</code> items because <code>core</code> items are applicable to a wider
range of tests.</p>
</div>
<p>A test can use <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs"><code>minicore</code></a> by specifying the <code>//@ add-core-stubs</code> directive.
Then, mark the test with <code>#![feature(no_core)]</code> + <code>#![no_std]</code> + <code>#![no_core]</code>.
Due to Edition 2015 extern prelude rules, you will probably need to declare
<code>minicore</code> as an extern crate.</p>
<h2 id="implied-compiler-flags"><a class="header" href="#implied-compiler-flags">Implied compiler flags</a></h2>
<p>Due to the <code>no_std</code> + <code>no_core</code> nature of these tests, <code>//@ add-core-stubs</code>
implies and requires that the test will be built with <code>-C panic=abort</code>.
<strong>Unwinding panics are not supported.</strong></p>
<p>Tests will also be built with <code>-C force-unwind-tables=yes</code> to preserve CFI
directives in assembly tests.</p>
<p>TL;DR: <code>//@ add-core-stubs</code> implies two compiler flags:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>-C panic=abort</code></li>
<li><code>-C force-unwind-tables=yes</code></li>
</ol>
<h2 id="adding-more-core-stubs"><a class="header" href="#adding-more-core-stubs">Adding more <code>core</code> stubs</a></h2>
<p>If you find a <code>core</code> item to be missing from the <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs"><code>minicore</code></a> stub, consider
adding it to the test auxiliary if it's likely to be used or is already needed
by more than one test.</p>
<h2 id="staying-in-sync-with-core"><a class="header" href="#staying-in-sync-with-core">Staying in sync with <code>core</code></a></h2>
<p>The <code>minicore</code> items must be kept up to date with <code>core</code>. For consistent
diagnostic output between using <code>core</code> and <code>minicore</code>, any <code>diagnostic</code>
attributes (e.g. <code>on_unimplemented</code>) should be replicated exactly in <code>minicore</code>.</p>
