Let's discuss #841 again which was unfortunately closed without further discussions. Personally, I am in strong favor of the proposed API design. I copy the key points here again: >...

"Production-Ready" Template Project

Compiling a minimal hello-word UEFI application is easy. Setting up a productive development environment with a "run in QEMU" command and unit-tests is hard, however. Especially the last part is...

`global_allocator` and `logger` could be moved to `uefi-services`

7

I think we could move the `global_allocator` and the `logger` entirely from `uefi` to `uefi-services`. This would clean up the `uefi` crate. And `uefi-services` wouldn't be as thin as it...

nextest: produce output in result even when the command fails

5

I use cargo-nextest to produce a [JUnit-style XML report](https://nexte.st/book/junit.html). If all tests succeed inside Nix with crane via cargo-nextest, `result/target/nextest/ci/rust-junit.xml` contains the result file. The problem is: **This file is...

cargoLlvmCov produces different result in Nix derivation than a regular invocation

~The Rust language reference (and my experience, proved by tests) says, that `packed(n)` gives you the ability to align the struct too. This bug probably comes from a past version...
