I'm trying to build code with dependencies for thumbv7m-none-eabi, and crates like serde fail due to the lack of restricted_std.

This makes sense, but there doesn't seem to be a way to globally disable it, so either I have to edit and patch each of my dependencies, or I have to edit the requirement out of std. Neither is good. It would be nice if there were a way to globally opt in to this.

$ cargo +nightly build -Zbuild-std --target=thumbv7m-none-eabi

Do you have any thoughts on how that could be accomplished? It seems like it would be quite difficult without some compiler magic. This is very much in the experimental phase, so it is somewhat expected that you'll need to patch things to try it out.

For serde specifically, you can build without default features if there isn't anything in particular you need from std.

@ehuss I feel like another -Z flag would work? -Zunstable_restricted_std? It's super weird that std becomes unstable this way.

I ran into the same problem like use of unstable library feature 'restricted_std', is there any compiler magic instead of patching each of the dependencies? I am using rustup-nightly-2021-08-01.

This is causing problems with miri, as well:

This PR aims to pin down exactly what restricted_std is meant to achieve
and what it isn't.

This commit fixes rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#87
by explaining why the error appears and what the choices the user has.
The error describes how std cannot function without knowing about some
form of OS/platform support. Any features of std that work without an
OS should be moved to core/alloc (see rust-lang#27242
rust-lang#103765).

Note that the message says "platform" and "environment" because, since
rust-lang#120232, libstd can be built for
some JSON targets. This is still unsupported (all JSON targets probably
should be unstable rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#90),
but a JSON target with the right configuration should hopefully have
some partial libstd support.

I propose closing rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#69
as "Won't fix" since any support of std without properly configured os,
vendor or env fields is very fragile considering future upgrades of Rust
or dependencies. In addition there's no likely path to it being fixed
long term (making std buildable for all targets being the only
solution). This is distinct from tier 3 platforms with limited std
support implemented (and as such aren't restricted_std) because these
platforms can conceptually work in the future and std support should
mainly improve over time.

The alternative to closing rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware#69
is a new crate feature for std which escapes the restricted_std
mechanism in build.rs. It could be used with the -Zbuild-std-features
flag if we keep it permanently unstable, which I hope we can do anyway.
A minor side-effect in this scenario is that std wouldn't be marked as
unstable if documentation for it were generated with build-std.
