cargo test is failing with last nightly

test test_elf_functions ... FAILED
test test_mach_functions ... FAILED
test test_elf_files ... FAILED
test test_elf_symbols ... FAILED
test test_mach_files ... FAILED
test test_mach_symbols ... FAILED

The error is always the same:

thread 'test_elf_functions' panicked at 'attempted to leave type `base::Symbol` uninitialized, which is invalid', /home/calixte/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library/core/src/mem/mod.rs:658:9

Thanks for reporting, @calixteman. This panic is occurring in dmsort. An issue has already been raised in emilk/drop-merge-sort#2.

[calixteman]

The dmsort doesn't seem to be maintained anymore...
Could you think about a replacement ?

[jan-auer]

I'll look into this. We chose dmsort specifically as it was significantly faster than using the standard sort function, so we'll have to find a suitable replacement.

[jan-auer]

Should be fixed via #287

nightly from oktober 2nd is stable now, so closing this.

We do have a CI job thats running on nightly, but that is blocked by new clippy lints as it seems.
