Non-exhaustive structs may be empty This is a follow-up to a discrepancy noticed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/122792: today, the following struct is considered inhabited (non-empty) outside its defining crate: ```rust #[non_exhaustive] pub struct UninhabitedStruct { pub never: !, // other fields } ``` `#[non_exhaustive]` on a struct should mean that adding fields to it isn't a breaking change. There is no way that adding fields to this struct could make it non-empty since the `never` field must stay and is inconstructible. I suspect this was implemented this way due to confusion with `#[non_exhaustive]` enums, which indeed should be considered non-empty outside their defining crate. I propose that we consider such a struct uninhabited (empty), just like it would be without the `#[non_exhaustive]` annotation. Code that doesn't pass today and will pass after this: ```rust // In a different crate fn empty_match_on_empty_struct<T>(x: UninhabitedStruct) -> T { match x {} } ``` This is not a breaking change. r? ``@compiler-errors`` |

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 integrate 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).
