Make #[used(linker)] the default on ELF too `#[used]` currently is an alias for `#[used(linker)]` on all platforms except ELF based ones where it is an alias for `#[used(compiler)]`. The latter has surprising behavior and the LLVM LangRef explicitly states that it "should only be used in rare circumstances, and should not be exposed to source languages." [^2] The reason `#[used]` still was an alias to `#[used(compiler)]` on ELF is because the gold linker has issues with it. Luckily gold has been deprecated with GCC 15 [^1] and seems to be unable to bootstrap rustc anyway [^3]. As such we shouldn't really care about supporting gold. This would also allow re-enabling start-stop-gc with lld. cc https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/93798 Likely fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85045 [^1]: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2025-02/msg00001.html [^2]: https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#the-llvm-compiler-used-global-variable [^3]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/139425 |

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).
