📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The directory removal helper moved to the Unix-like host environment module. Non-Windows rmdir now uses the optional directory file descriptor on all supported targets, including Redox, through one removal path.

Directory removal support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unix-like removal API
crates/host_env/src/posix_unix_like.rs, crates/host_env/src/posix.rs, crates/host_env/src/posix_wasi.rs
Added remove_dir_at with an optional directory file descriptor and removed the previous POSIX and WASI helpers.
rmdir integration
crates/vm/src/stdlib/os.rs
Enabled directory-file-descriptor support on Redox and routed non-Windows rmdir calls through remove_dir_at.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: youknowone

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 504d4

The directory-removal migration prevents Redox and wasm32-unknown-unknown builds from compiling, so the affected supported targets cannot receive this change safely; target-specific fallbacks or gates are needed before merge.

Keep a Redox-specific removal path. posix_unix_like is selected for Redox, and os::rmdir reaches remove_dir_at on non-Windows targets. Rustix does not expose fs::unlinkat on Redox, so this call causes the supported Redox build to fail. Retain the Redox-specific implementation or cfg-gate the shared call.

I opened a PR for Rustix to expose some of the missing *at functions for Redox.

@joshuamegnauth54, thanks for the update.

The shared implementation can replace the Redox fallback after this PR updates to a Rustix release that exposes fs::unlinkat for Redox. Until then, the current dependency still needs a Redox-specific path or conditional compilation to keep Redox builds working.

P1 Badge Keep Redox off the rustix unlinkat path

When compiling for target_os = "redox", this reference cannot resolve: the locked rustix 1.1.4 release exposes fs::unlinkat only under #[cfg(not(any(target_os = "espidf", target_os = "redox")))]. Because posix_unix_like is compiled on Redox, the new helper prevents the target from building before the newly advertised rmdir(dir_fd=...) support can be used; retain a Redox-specific fallback or use an API that rustix actually provides there.

🟠 Major · Retain the fallback for non-Unix, non-WASI targets.

crates/vm/src/stdlib/os.rs:445-453
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Retain the fallback for non-Unix, non-WASI targets. rmdir uses #[cfg(not(windows))], so it compiles for wasm32-unknown-unknown. That target does not export crate::host_env::posix; crates/host_env/src/lib.rs exports it only for Unix, WASI, or Windows. The delegation therefore references an unavailable module and fails compilation. Gate the delegation to targets that provide remove_dir_at, and retain the fallback for other non-Windows targets.

Preserve the Redox-specific directory-removal fallback. posix_unix_like.rs is compiled for Redox, but rustix::fs::unlinkat excludes target_os = "redox". The Redox host_env build therefore fails at this call. Keep the Redox fallback or apply a target-specific configuration that avoids this call.
