-# This file specifies the Rust version used to test the rust extractor.
-# IMPORTANT: this can also have an impact on QL test results
-#
-# Pinned to 1.95: this is the newest stable that both expands the builtin
-# `format_args!` macro against std (needs >= ~1.94) and still accepts
-# `use SomeStruct::{self};`, which became a hard error (E0432) in 1.96 and is
-# exercised by the path-resolution test. Do not bump past 1.95 without
-# adapting that test.
