The plain `rustc --version` string is not well structured, and in particular the git commit info is not necessarily present when rustc is built out of tree, such as in distro builds. Furthermore, rust-lang/rust#79115 made it possible to have completely custom information in a version's parenthesized block, which may not look like git info at all. Adding `--verbose` outputs each field on its own line, in particular "release: ..." for the version number and "commit-date: ..." for the git info, although the latter is just "unknown" for out-of-tree builds. MSRV remains 1.0.0. |

version_check
This tiny crate checks that the running or installed rustc
meets some version
requirements. The version is queried by calling the Rust compiler with
--version
. The path to the compiler is determined first via the RUSTC
environment variable. If it is not set, then rustc
is used. If that fails, no
determination is made, and calls return None
.
Usage
Add to your Cargo.toml
file, typically as a build dependency:
[build-dependencies]
version_check = "0.9"
version_check
is compatible and compiles with Rust 1.0.0 and beyond.
Examples
Set a cfg
flag in build.rs
if the running compiler was determined to be
at least version 1.13.0
:
extern crate version_check as rustc;
if rustc::is_min_version("1.13.0").unwrap_or(false) {
println!("cargo:rustc-cfg=question_mark_operator");
}
Check that the running compiler was released on or after 2018-12-18
:
extern crate version_check as rustc;
match rustc::is_min_date("2018-12-18") {
Some(true) => "Yep! It's recent!",
Some(false) => "No, it's older.",
None => "Couldn't determine the rustc version."
};
Check that the running compiler supports feature flags:
extern crate version_check as rustc;
match rustc::is_feature_flaggable() {
Some(true) => "Yes! It's a dev or nightly release!",
Some(false) => "No, it's stable or beta.",
None => "Couldn't determine the rustc version."
};
See the rustdocs for more examples and complete documentation.
Alternatives
This crate is dead simple with no dependencies. If you need something more and don't care about panicking if the version cannot be obtained, or if you don't mind adding dependencies, see rustc_version.
