Re: Questions about Rust team for Kangrejos

Hi

Since I see that you have already gotten some answers to your
questions, I thought that I could also highlight some other things
that we do that might be a value add. Sorry in advance for the
un-asked-for info dump.

Debian runs all builds and tests on a lot more architectures than most
projects have in their CI/CD, so we tend to discover problems related
to:

32-bit pointers vs 64.
big vs small endian.
alignment requirements for atomics.
if char is signed or unsigned

and so on.

We also run the projects test-suits for each (rust) feature
separately, plus without any features plus all features enabled. And
it's not that uncommon that this uncovers things that the project
haven't covered in their testing.

best regards
Alex
