![]() rustc driver: Remove argument 0 before at-expansion to prevent ICE Under Unix-based operating systems, when I execute rustc by setting argv0 to ``@/dev/null`,` it will expand command-line arguments from this file, leading to an empty arglist, which then triggers an ICE by trying to remove first argument. The panic message is this: ``` thread 'main' panicked at 'range start index 1 out of range for slice of length 0', compiler/rustc_driver/src/lib.rs:972:17 ``` My fix is to remove the first argument before expanding arguments. <details> <summary>Full backtrace</summary> ```sh % (exec -a `@/dev/null` `rustup which rustc`) thread 'main' panicked at 'range start index 1 out of range for slice of length 0', compiler/rustc_driver/src/lib.rs:972:17 stack backtrace: 0: 0x7fcec776659a -

The driver
crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
