compile error: use of unstable library feature 'stdsimd'

[Anton-4]

Since the latest ahash 0.8.7 release I'm hitting a use of unstable library feature 'stdsimd' on compilation. We test on several architectures and operating systems and this only occurred on our macos m1 mac mini.

Full error:

@Amanieu It looks like this is caused by https://github.com/tkaitchuck/aHash/pull/183 Should I revert it or is there a better way?

[Amanieu]

These functions are stable, are you using an older version of rustc?

[Anton-4]

Oh right, I didn't think to check that. I'm on 1.71.1. Would it be possible to set the required minimum version with the rust-version field in the Cargo.toml? That should provide a nice error message in this case.

[Amanieu]

This was stabilized in 1.72.

[alamb]

Proposed fix https://github.com/tkaitchuck/aHash/pull/196

[tkaitchuck]

I am attempting to expand the presubmit checks to cover this https://github.com/tkaitchuck/aHash/pull/197 but so far it is still passing. What combination am I missing?

[alamb]

What combination am I missing?

I left a suggestion: https://github.com/tkaitchuck/aHash/pull/197#issuecomment-1881497240

[tkaitchuck]

@Anton-4 Can you clearify, you saw this when targeting aarch64-apple-darwin ? What args / rust flags were passed?

[Jefffrey]

For datafusion, the issue came from https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/8743

Tagging @ted-jiang who reproduced the issue

An example of the dependency datafusion has:

https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/blob/e7cc04db68a05ce9d002de7d0c1be2644bf69c0c/datafusion/common/Cargo.toml#L41-L43

• Located in a few other crates within datafusion too, but is essentially the same (version & features)

[Anton-4]

Can you clearify, you saw this when targeting aarch64-apple-darwin ?

Yes indeed, I'll set up a minimal github repo with a full reproduction.

[Anton-4]

Files for minimal repro:

// rust-toolchain.toml 
[toolchain]
channel = "1.71.1"

// Cargo.toml 
[package]
name = "temp2"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
ahash="=0.8.7"

// src/main.rs 
fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

run with cargo build --target=aarch64-apple-darwin. That produces the error for me on NixOS (x86_64 device) and also on macos 14 (m2 device).

FWIW, I'm running into this too (when trying to upgrade ahash in hickory-dns on my M1 with Rust 1.67).

[bk2204]

I'd greatly appreciate it if we could solve this problem without bumping the MSRV. I try to provide support for older versions of Rust, and Debian stable offers 1.63, which I'd like to continue to target.

[matthiasg]

This still happens on M1 with rust 1.78.0 nightly. Is there something I am missing ?

[alexeykhan]

Same for me here (M1):

• rust 1.77.0-nightly - works fine
• rust 1.78.0-nightly - error[E0635]: unknown feature stdsimd --> /Users/alexeykhan/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/ahash-0.7.7/src/lib.rs:33:42 | 33 | #![cfg_attr(feature = "stdsimd", feature(stdsimd))] | ^^^^^^^

[iesahin]

I have the same issue in https://github.com/iesahin/xvc/actions/runs/7798376079/job/21266895940#step:9:1

[Amanieu]

To anyone hitting this error on nightly: you need to update your nightly compiler.

[undenuicap]

1.78.0-nightly is latest and not working with it :-(

[Amanieu]

Are you using the latest version of ahash? Try cargo update.

[ozgrakkurt]

still doesn't compile on m1 with stable toolchain with this error
