This would result in a compilation error when this condition is not true.
To implement this, it should be on https://github.com/rust-vmm/vmm-sys-util/blob/main/src/lib.rs#L21 like:
#[cfg(target_has_atomic = "64")]
pub mod metric;There was a problem hiding this comment.
Well, it doesn't result in compilation error: see https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=rust-vmm-sys-util&suite=sid - it compiled fine on all platforms where previously this caused an error. I guess it will result in compilation error of crates which use this one, as there will be no implementation for the declared functionality.
But I must admit: I know nothing about rust. It's the 2nd day since I looked at what rust actually is, what I suggest is just something I've seen being used elsewhere. I've no idea if this is a correct solution or not.

Writing #![cfg(target_has_atomic = "64")] (notice the !) is equivalent to:
#[cfg(target_has_atomic = "64")] pub mod metric;We can still have it as @JonathanWoollett-Light suggested even if they're equivalent because it is making it a bit more obvious that the whole module is excluded from compilation on targets that don't support atomic64.

@mjt0k can we think about a way to test this in the CI? I find it nice that we're adding support for other platforms as well, but the problem I am seeing is that (similar to the big endian support in vm-virtio) we are going to fix it, and future PRs will break it because we're not testing it. |

@mjt0k can you fix your commit message so we can merge this? We are expecting the summary to be less than 60 chars, and the body to be less than 72 (i think). We have some issues with the CI (cargo audit is not installed on arm, and that's why it's failing), so we can ignore that for now. |
Atomic64 is not present, at least, on armel, mipsel and x32 platforms. Disable compilation of metrics.rs which enhances this data type.
