Counting number of stable methods of libstd

I'm curious how fast libstd grows. I'd like to count number of functions in it.

I've tried by counting number of "std" items in rustdoc's search index, but it gives odd results with a bump between 1.26-1.28:

I suspect that's due to counting unstable items, perhaps stdsimd.

Any ideas for a better method?

Counting the number of #[(stable will give a decent underestimate.

(It's an underestimate because in e.g. std::num, macros are used to paste the same functionality between the different numeric types. This might actually be a benefit: only count count_ones twice rather than 24(?) times. Also whitespace is allowed in there, but you can account for that with a cleverer grep.)

In fact, if you parse the entire #[stable] attribute, you can attribute each public API to its stabilized version in one pass, since all #[stable] attributes include the stabilized version.

Brilliant!

Total number of #[stable] items in the standard library:

Number of new items added each version (once actual scale, once with 1.0.0 cut off):

And here's comparison between number of stabilized items and the number of unique feature flags that reached stable for the first time in each release:

Sadly, the data doesn't tell the whole story:

  • There were several features that were overcounted, e.g. box_from_c_str, box_from_os_str, box_from_path, box_from_slice are essentially the same minor change.

  • There were some features that needed lots of functions, e.g. Iterator.fused() touched a lot of code, even though for the user that's only one function. Similarly with anything related to integers, e.g. i128 or NonZero* have tons of standard integer functionality and conversions which count as new functions, but from user perspective it's nothing new.

  • And some features are way bigger than others. futures_api is 1 feature, but a major shift.

I've tried manually adding weight to features, but at this point it's totally subjective. Fudge-weighed amount of changes in each Rust release:

Notable changes:

  • 1.13 = ? operator
  • 1.15 = proc macros
  • 1.26 = i128
  • 1.27 = simd
  • 1.28 = global allocators
  • 1.31 = edition 2018
  • 1.33 = pin
  • 1.34 = TryFrom
  • 1.36 = futures
