# Request for Stabilization

## Summary

The `cfg_select!` macro picks the expansion corresponding to the first `cfg` condition that evaluates to `true`. It simplifies complex conditional expressions.

```rust
cfg_select! {
    unix => {
        fn foo() { /* unix specific functionality */ }
    }
    target_pointer_width = "32" => {
        fn foo() { /* non-unix, 32-bit functionality */ }
    }
    _ => {
        fn foo() { /* fallback implementation */ }
    }
}

let is_unix_str = cfg_select! {
    unix => "unix",
    _ => "not unix",
};
println!("{is_unix_str}");
```
## Semantics

The expansion of a `cfg_select!` call is the right-hand side of the first `cfg` rule that evaluates to true.

This can be roughly expressed using this macro:
```rust
macro_rules! cfg_select {
    ({ $($tt:tt)* }) => {{
        $crate::cfg_select! { $($tt)* }
    }};
    (_ => { $($output:tt)* }) => {
        $($output)*
    };
    (
        $cfg:meta => $output:tt
        $($( $rest:tt )+)?
    ) => {
        #[cfg($cfg)]
        $crate::cfg_select! { _ => $output }
        $(
            #[cfg(not($cfg))]
            $crate::cfg_select! { $($rest)+ }
        )?
    }
}
```

The actual implementation uses a builtin macro so that `cfg_select!` can be used both in item and expression position.

## Tests

The `cfg_select!` macro is already used extensively in the rust compiler codebase. It has several dedicated tests:

- [`tests/ui/check-cfg/cfg-select.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/main/tests/ui/check-cfg/cfg-select.rs)tests that warnings are emitted when an unexpected `cfg` condition is used.
- [`tests/ui/macros/cfg_select.rs`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/main/tests/ui/macros/cfg_select.rs) tests that `cfg_select!` has the expected expansion, and tests that the expected syntax is accepted.

The style team has decided on how to format `cfg_select!`, but this formatting has not yet been implemented. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144323.

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).
