Next MSRV bump #4626

Description

@tgross35

Trixie released with rustc 1.85, so I expect a lot of crates will be increasing their MSRV in the next few weeks. I'd like to upgrade only as needed, rough list of what might be nice to have:

Baseline: 1.63

  • 1.64: core::ffi::c_* (definitely need this)
  • 1.64: workspace-level lints (meh)
  • 1.65: cast_mut (this would be nice)

Baseline: 1.65

  • 1.67: varargs for non-C extern ABIs (no known applications)
  • 1.69: derive on packed structs that don't implement Copy (not overly useful for us, everything is copy)
  • 1.75: byte_add (this would be nice)
  • 1.75: const_maybe_uninit_zeroed (this would be nice)
  • 1.77: offset_of (just lets us remove a polyfill)
  • 1.77: C string literals (nothing we can't work around, not sure we even use this now)
  • 1.78: cfg(target_abi = "...") Add support for aarch64-unknown-linux-pauthtest target #5065 (comment)
  • 1.80: size_of, align_of in prelude (nice to have but we have our own prelude)
  • 1.80: variadics without a named parameter (no known applications)
  • 1.81: #[expect(...)] (want this, but it's not pressing)
  • 1.82: unsafe extern blocks (neutral)
  • 1.82: &raw (few small applications, addr_of! works fine)
  • 1.82: nested access in offset_of! (no uses)
  • 1.85: ptr::fn_addr_eq (we don't really need this as it is just for trait impls)
  • 1.85: 2024 edition
  • 1.92: &raw [mut|const] to union fields is now safe
