Bug 1458161 - Hook rust OOM handler.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/240920/#review246678

::: toolkit/library/rust/shared/build.rs:5
(Diff revision 1)
> +extern crate rustc_version;
> +use rustc_version::{version, Version};

We could instead do this version check in rust.configure and enable the feature in gkrust-features.mozbuild:
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/library/rust/gkrust-features.mozbuild
We still need the build script RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP, with is better to set at the crate level than globally, because it only affects that one crate, not its dependencies.

"that are not subject to change the unstable APIs"?  I'm not sure what this is communicating.

If `mozalloc_handle_oom` is weak, what is ensuring that `mozalloc_handle_oom` is always defined?  Or do we just make it weak for Reasons, and then always define it?

That in the given context, they can be considered "stable" as in, they won't change from under us and break the build.

It's always defined. It's weak because it's in the firefox binary, and libxul can't depend on symbols from there.

dmajor, could you take a look at the reports I linked in comment 12 and identify what the unresolved frame corresponds to, like if it's a thunk created by the rust compiler for which it doesn't create corresponding debug info? Because the address changes for every build, but ultimately, it looks like all those linked crashes are the same thing, and they should be automatically bucketed together.
Flags: needinfo?(dmajor)
It's a function that does a "call GeckoHandleOOM", so it must be your oom().

I have a suspicion that rust debug info is broken for divergent functions -- see what happened to abort() before this patch in bug 1448868 comment 25 to 27.

Can you file a bug on this? Either here in bugzilla or upstream in the rust-lang repo (or both?)
