• [$] Compiling the kernel with gccrs

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Wed Sep 23 06:40:09 2026


    Pierre-Emmanuel Patry and Arthur Cohen gave a talk at

    RustConf 2026 on the
    status of the Rust frontend for GCC (gccrs), with a particular eye toward the goal of

    compiling the Linux kernel. Patry gave a follow-up talk for a more kernel-focused audience at

    Kangrejos the next week, which Cohen could not attend. The

    gccrs project is
    making good progress overall, but it will still be some time until the compiler is usable.
