It seems that https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/553 is closed, but there are still a few related open issues, such as https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1823 and https://github.com/seanmonstar/num_cpus/pull/123. Has anyone started playing around with the Rust support on AIX yet?

Hi Marcus,

I am playing with Rust Beta on AIX. It works but yes - there are a lot of crates which don't support AIX.

Hi Marcus, 

will there be in future a option to cross compile on Linux x86_64 for AIX ?

Hi Dennis,

I am not Marcus, but try to answer your question. No, I think there will be no such option. To cross-compile you need AIX runtime on your Linux. Rust compiler doesn't provide any runtimes. IBM as you may know doesn't provide such runtime too. So it is unfortunately up to you/us as IBM customers to enable the cross-compilation. As for now I don't know any way to do it. It'd require all headers and some libraries from live AIX system and AIX linker working on x86_64 Linux.

Yes llvm now works on AIX but when we evaluated Rust porting it is very involved effort and we are working on a plan within IBM how to contain.
It is not easy port as it requires integrated assembler and linker to also work on AIX as well.
Rust work is very different from c/c++ hence it is not easy to adapt. 
Right now I can not provide any definitive answer but we are evaluating options.

Hi,

There is any news on porting rust to AIX?
As far as I could understand, llvm is already available.

TIA,

XL C/C++ are not based on LLVM. But there is work going on for porting llvm for AIX
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130175.html

This will take some time until we do not have llvm backend rust will not be possible on AIX.

Hi Sanket, as far as I know, the new XL C/C++ compiler is built using LLVM. That's why I suppose, that LLVM is already ported to AIX. My use case is very simple - the new InfluxDB 2.0 uses both Golang and Rust. Without Rust I will not be able to compile it on AIX.

Rust needs llvm backend which is not yet available on AIX.
So this will require some good amount of work to port Rust on AIX. 
May I ask what is your use case ?

Thanks, Andrey.  Fixed.  The fix list page is https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/fixlist-ibm-open-sdk-rust-aix.  It's still being updated to add the IBM Open SDK for Rust on AIX 1.86.  Related to this, we plan to release Fix Pack 1 early next week to fix an issue that confuses the "rustversion" crate.  The Community Edition is not affected because it's already at Fix Pack 1.

Rafir,

as far as I see the new Community Edition is delivered in RPM packages. The previous version was in standard AIX LPP filesets. 

It means the update path is to uninstall the old version and install the new version.

Is it only for the Community Edition or the "licensed" edition too? 

Do you plan to go with RPMs further for all future versions?

Hi Andrey.  The Community Edition going forward will be using rpms.  This is to allow it to be integrated into the AIX Toolbox, which uses dnf and rpm to manage packages.  Once integration into the Toolbox is completed (ETA is end of this week), you'll be able to use:

dnf install cargo rust rustfmt

to install the latest available version (and add/update symlinks to /opt/freeware/bin), or

dnf install cargo1.86 rust1.86 rustfmt1.86

to specifically install the 1.86 versions without adding symlinks to /opt/freeware/bin.

Because Rust does not guarantee compatibility between objects built by different compiler versions, we support multiple versions of the Open SDK for Rust on AIX co-existing on the same machine.  Right now, the 1.84 Community Edition is installed by installp to /opt/IBM/RustSDK/<version>, while the 1.86 (and future) Community Editions are installed by rpm to /opt/freeware/lib/RustSDK/<version>.  If you install 1.86 and no longer want 1.84, you'll need to uninstall 1.84 as described here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/osfroa/1.84.0?topic=184-uninstalling-default-installation.

The licensed edition of the Open SDK for Rust on AIX will continue to use installp and will continue to be installed to /opt/IBM/RustSDK/<version>.  The licensed and community editions can co-exist on the same machine.
