From e94e820df37d487a92ca08e77bc8d2319267152b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miguel Ojeda Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:32:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rust: allow `suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions` lint for Rust >= 1.98 commit 608045a91d9176d66b2114d0006bc8b57dff2ca9 upstream. Starting with Rust 1.98.0 (expected 2026-08-20), Rust is introducing a couple new lints, `invalid_runtime_symbol_definitions` (deny-by-default) and `suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions` (warn-by-default), which check the signature of items whose symbol name is a runtime symbol expected by `core`. Our build hits the second one, i.e. the warning: error: suspicious definition of the runtime `strlen` symbol used by the standard library --> rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs:20018:5 | 20018 | pub fn strlen(s: *const ffi::c_char) -> usize; | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | = note: expected `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const i8) -> usize` found `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const u8) -> usize` = help: either fix the signature or remove any attributes like `#[unsafe(no_mangle)]`, `#[unsafe(export_name = "strlen")]`, or `#[link_name = "strlen"]` = help: allow this lint if the signature is compatible = note: `-D suspicious-runtime-symbol-definitions` implied by `-D warnings` = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions)]` error: suspicious definition of the runtime `strlen` symbol used by the standard library --> rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs:14236:5 | 14236 | pub fn strlen(s: *const ffi::c_char) -> usize; | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | = note: expected `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const i8) -> usize` found `unsafe extern "C" fn(*const u8) -> usize` = help: either fix the signature or remove any attributes like `#[unsafe(no_mangle)]`, `#[unsafe(export_name = "strlen")]`, or `#[link_name = "strlen"]` = help: allow this lint if the signature is compatible = note: `-D suspicious-runtime-symbol-definitions` implied by `-D warnings` = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions)]` Thus `allow` the lint in `bindings` and `uapi`. A more targeted alternative to avoid `allow`ing it would be to pass `--blocklist-function strlen` to `bindgen`, but we would perhaps need to adjust if other C headers end up adding more (or Rust checking more). Since it is just the less critical one that we hit, and since eventually this should be properly fixed by getting upstream Rust to provide a flag like GCC/Clang's `-funsigned-char` [2][3], just `allow` it for now.
