Until now, x86_64-pc-windows-gnu linked `rsbegin.o` and `rsend.o` just like i686-pc-windows-gnu, even though they were no-ops for it. This was likely done for the simplicity back when it was introduced. Today the things are different and these startup/end objects harm other features, like `build-std`. Given the demotion of i686-pc-windows-gnu from tier 1, there is no point in hurting x86_64-pc-windows-gnu, which remains a tier 1. The files are still shipped in case downstream crates expect them, as in case of the unmaintained `xargo`.
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).
