Summary

Rust was already registered, but rustc compiled every submission as edition 2015 because no --edition was passed. Rust now compiles as edition 2021 by default, and a caller's compiler_flags: ["--edition=2018"] replaces that default instead of being added as a second --edition.

Motivation

Closes #117

#117 asks for Rust (edition 2021) on POST /api/v1/execute. The language entry, Docker package and API enum were already there, but without --edition rustc uses 2015, where TryFrom, TryInto and FromIterator are not in the prelude. Ordinary solutions such as let x: u8 = n.try_into()? failed with error[E0599]: no method named 'try_into' found, which a user can't explain because the same code compiles on any contest site.

Implementation notes

• LangConfig.CompileDefaults (new, internal/sandbox/language.go): flags appended after CompileArgs unless a caller flag has the same name (the text before =). Rust sets CompileDefaults: ["--edition=2021"]; every other language leaves it empty, so its compile command is unchanged.
• Why not just append --edition=2021 to CompileArgs: AllowedCompilerFlags already lets callers send --edition=2018 / --edition=2021, and rustc rejects a repeated option (error: Option 'edition' given more than once). The default has to be replaceable, not stacked.
• -O stays in CompileArgs: rustc accepts -O twice (verified with rustc 1.85.1), so a caller -O was never a problem.
• The rule lives in the language table, not the worker, so the worker stays language-agnostic.
• Compile cache: keys are language + source + files + flags, held in memory, so nothing compiled under the old args survives a deploy.
• Limits unchanged: in the real sandbox, a single-file program using generics and std collections compiles in 1.5 s / 76 MB, well inside the 20 s / 512 MB compile budget.

Verified against the real sandbox

I built docker/go-judge and sent commands made by the engine's own BuildCompileCmdWithOptions / BuildRunCmd (a throwaway program, not committed):

Case	Compile args (after rustc)	Result
try_into, no flags	-O -o /w/a.out /w/main.rs --edition=2021	Accepted, 0.53 s / 57 MB, prints 42
compiler_flags: ["--edition=2018"]	… --edition=2018 (one edition)	E0599 as expected for 2018, so the caller's edition is the one used
compiler_flags: ["-O"]	… --edition=2021 -O	Accepted, prints 255
generics + collections	… --edition=2021	Accepted, 1.49 s / 76 MB
type error	… --edition=2021	Nonzero exit, rustc's error[E0308] kept in stderr

Before this change, the first case fails to compile with E0599.

Questions for the reviewer

Q1 — What existing tests cover the code you changed?
A: TestValidateCompilerFlags (which flags are allowed for rust), TestProbeLanguages and TestLanguageAvailability (rust's binaries come from CompileArgs[0] / RunArgs, which are unchanged), the TestCompileCache* tests (compile sharing and key, which this doesn't change), and the TestEffective* / TestBuildRunCmd* tests in internal/sandbox. All pass unchanged.

Q2 — What new tests did you add, and what cases do they cover?
A: internal/sandbox/language_test.go: TestBuildCompileCmdRustDefaults (no flags → --edition=2021; caller --edition=2018 replaces it; caller --edition=2021 isn't repeated; caller -O keeps the default edition), TestBuildCompileCmdWithoutDefaults (C++ compile args unchanged), and TestBuildCompileCmdNeverRepeatsAllowedFlag (for every language with defaults, no allowed caller flag can repeat one). internal/worker/rust_test.go uses a fake go-judge (httptest, no real sandbox runs): a Rust job compiles main.rs with --edition=2021 and runs the cached binary for every test; a caller edition replaces the default; a compile failure comes back with rustc's diagnostics.

Q3 — Does this change affect any authenticated or unauthenticated API paths? If yes, how?
A: No new paths, fields or validation. POST /api/v1/execute with language: "rust" now compiles as edition 2021; the request schema and the compiler_flags allowlist are unchanged, and it behaves the same for authenticated and unauthenticated callers.

Q4 — Did you run golangci-lint run locally and get 0 issues?
A: Yes. golangci-lint v2.15.0 reports 0 issues. (run in the golangci/golangci-lint:v2.15.0 image on an LF checkout of the commit).

Q5 — Is this the only open PR you have against development?
A: Yes.

Checklist

• go test -race -count=1 -timeout=120s ./... passes locally (in a golang:1.27.2 container; internal/db needs testcontainers and runs in CI)
• golangci-lint run --timeout=5m reports 0 issues

Summary by cubic

Fixes Rust submissions failing to compile as edition 2021 instead of rustc's default 2015, so solutions using try_into, TryFrom, or FromIterator no longer fail with error[E0599]. Closes #117.

• Compile defaults were added to LangConfig: defaults apply unless a caller flag with the same name overrides them.
• A caller's --edition=2018 replaces the default instead of stacking, which rustc rejects; other languages' compile args are unchanged.

^{Written for commit 414f404. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Rust compilation now defaults to the 2021 edition. You can select another edition, such as 2018, through compiler flags; the selected edition replaces the default rather than being added alongside it.
• Documentation
  • The supported-languages table now lists Rust compiler version 1.85 and its default optimization and edition flags. The changelog also describes the default edition and how to override it.

Walkthrough

Rust compilation now defaults to edition 2021. Caller compiler flags with the same flag name replace the default. Tests cover compiler argument assembly and Rust worker behavior, and the README and changelog document the change.

Changes

Rust compilation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Compiler default flag handling internal/sandbox/language.go, internal/sandbox/language_test.go	LangConfig supports default compiler flags. compileArgs omits a default when a caller flag has the same name, then appends caller flags. Tests cover Rust defaults and languages without defaults.
Rust edition configuration and worker coverage internal/sandbox/language.go, internal/worker/rust_test.go, README.md, CHANGELOG.md	Rust uses --edition=2021 by default. Worker tests cover compilation, cached-binary execution, the --edition=2018 override, and compiler diagnostics. The README and changelog document the edition settings.

Explanation

The description includes the required Summary, Motivation, Implementation notes, reviewer answers, and Checklist sections. It explains the default edition, override behavior, testing, API impact, and validation results.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Linked issue #117 is the only direct target. Its acceptance criteria are: (1) POST /api/v1/execute accepts language: "rust"; (2) successful runs and compilation errors are handled.

Criterion 1: The base already registers rust in Languages (internal/sandbox/language.go). The diff keeps the entry and changes only its fields. Per the PR description, the API enum and Docker package were already present. This PR does not need to add registration.

Criterion 2: The PR adds internal/worker/rust_test.go. Per its summary, the tests cover a Rust job compiling main.rs with --edition=2021, running the cached binary for each test, and returning rustc diagnostics on compile failure. Compile-error handling in the worker is therefore covered by tests at this head.

Issue item 5 asks for a worker test that executes a sample Rust solution. rust_test.go uses a fake go-judge (httptest), so it does not run a real binary. The PR reports a manual run against the real sandbox, but that run is not committed. This is a limitation of the test, not an unmet criterion of #117.

The issue items on Docker, budgets, and compiler flags were already present at base. The PR does not change them, except the edition flag.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed areas relate to Rust edition handling for #117:

• internal/sandbox/language.go: adds LangConfig.CompileDefaults, compileArgs, and flagName. Rust sets CompileDefaults: ["--edition=2021"]. Other languages leave it empty, so their compile args are unchanged. The helper is generic, but it only changes behavior for languages that set defaults.
• internal/sandbox/language_test.go: tests for the Rust default, caller override, and non-Rust behavior. These support the change.
• internal/worker/rust_test.go: Rust worker tests. These support the change.
• README.md and CHANGELOG.md: documentation of the Rust compiler version, flags, and the edition override. These describe the change.

No unrelated files or API surface changes appear in the summary. The PR states that the request schema and the compiler_flags allowlist are unchanged. I did not inspect the test file contents directly; this assessment relies on the diff of language.go and the summaries of the test files.

Make the Rust batched test detect wrong per-test stdin.

82-82: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Make the Rust batched test detect wrong per-test stdin.

Both cases in TestRustCompilesAsEdition2021AndRunsTests use input "42" and expected output "42". rustJudge returns stdout "42\n" for every run and never reads stdin. The test checks only passed == 2 and the verdict. If runTestsBatched dropped or swapped tc.Input, the test would still pass.

Current code passes each input correctly. This change adds coverage for that wiring:

• Use distinct inputs and expected outputs for the two cases, such as "7" and "42".
• Make rustJudge return the run request's stdin as stdout for run commands. Keep the trailing-newline handling consistent with the output comparison.
• Record each run's stdin and assert that it matches the expected tc.Input.

Cover the Compilation Error verdict mapping in process.

133-141: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff

Cover the Compilation Error verdict mapping in process.

TestRustCompileErrorKeepsDiagnostics calls only compileWithOptions. No test in internal/worker calls process. A change to the non-accepted compile branch in internal/worker/worker.go:247-261 can therefore pass the suite. That branch sets the Compilation Error verdict and passes the compiler stderr to failSubmission. The current mapping is correct.

A process-level test would assert that the submission is persisted with model.VerdictCompilationError and the rustc stderr. Driving process needs a database pool and pubsub, because it reads and updates the submission, loads tests, and publishes events before the compile step. Plan this as follow-up work, since it needs more setup than the current compile-only test.
