moneromooo: I've heard talks ongoing here & there about possibility to migrate Monero from C++ to Rust.

Are these just talks, or is there a dev roadmap for it? I'm married to C++, so some clarity on this would help.

afungible[m]: there are no plans for this currently

it seems other projects have implemented some specific parts of the cryptography in rust, that might happen in the future, e.g. i know that kayabanerve[m] would like that

but there are no plans for it currently and a full migration of the codebase is unlikely

<selsta> "but there are no plans for it..." <- Thanks selsta: does this mean part migration Monero core to Rust is possible, while rest remains in C++? I thought it ideally should be either one or the other. I am aware that kayabanerve @kayabanerve:matrix.orghas some work done with Rust.

It's not even a current possibility

It's solely an interest of some members as an alternative, not a replacement

I rebuilt tx creation and all the cryptography underpinning it

It's suitable for verification as well as per dangerousfreedom @dangerousfreedom:libera.chat: 's work

Clear. Thanks kayabanerve, and good work.

i have some issues

im building Monero to ARM Android

and linking to my dynamic library

but should i use the same NDK version with Monero?

error: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "_ZN5boost15program_options3argE" referenced by ...

im getting this error on Android

To be clear, the interest is in a Rust alternative. Only one person advocated for a hybrid approach and no one else endorsed it

:(((((((((((((((((((((((((

MeowingCat: try to look at home other monero wallets do it, or for example at the monero-gui android docker file github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/blob/master/Dockerfile.android

also do you use the same boost version everywhere?

i don't use Boost but Monero uses

is seems there is a boost version mismatch

gitian-build.py is making me crazy

:(((((((((((((

i remember i built Monero to Android with running gitian-build.py on Ubuntu 18.04 in Docker

butttttt now it decided not to work :((((((((((((

./gitian-build.py -o android --detach-sign --no-commit --build rohanrhu 727bc5b6878170332bf2d838f2c60d1c8dc685c

im doing this

what can be wrong?

you have to post the error

we can gitian / depends on every commit and it builds fine

we run*

there's no --docker switch on that invocation, for one

selsta: fwiw, I spent a little bit hunting a leak, only to find it was fixed upstream in randomx. Helps fix "make test" when using asan, which barfs on leaks.

Arguably not really .1 material, but hey, might as well mention it :)

which commit exactly?

166e0d80f56b7ac1a44ce07a5701b22208fdf840

did you test the latest monero master / release branch?

I did not. Should I ?

no i mean we have it already fixed

Oh really. Nice :D

our submodule points to latest randomx masrter

I had debugged this a few weeks back after merging the latest monero on TF. All good then.
