This is a dupe of #12842, and I believe @vadimcn's list of APIs is mostly still applicable today for things we're using that are not on XP. |
Er as clarified with @larsbergstrom on IRC it possible to interpret #12842 as having the compiler run on XP and this as targeting XP, which are separate issues. |
AFAIK, it was always understood that the compiler itself will never run on XP. |
@vadimcn That other issue, #12842, has mixed comments and partial results evaluating both whether the toolchain runs on XP (which I do not care about) and whether binaries produces by rustc can run on XP (which I do care about). As long as the two are tracked separately - since I also suspect that running rustc.exe on XP is a non-goal - whatever selection of issues is fine by me. |
It would be great for Rust to be able to build code that targets Windows down to Windows XP SP2. There are still a significant number of Firefox users on that platform, so any Rust code built into Firefox would also need to run on that platform.
The only issue I am aware of preventing this today is the use of condvars in std.
