![]() Fix and undeprecate home_dir()
`home_dir()` has been deprecated for 6 years due to using `HOME` env var on Windows.
It's been a long time, and having a perpetually buggy and deprecated function in the standard library is not useful. I propose fixing and undeprecating it.
6 years seems more than long enough to warn users against relying on this function. The change in behavior is minor, and it's more of a bug fix than breakage. The old behavior is unlikely to be useful, and even if anybody actually needed to specifically use the non-standard `HOME` on Windows, they can trivially mitigate this change by reading the env var themselves.
----
Use of `USERPROFILE` is in line with the `home` crate:

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
