Winit library contains illegal instruction?

[arianvp]

When using Wayland, winit crashes since recently:

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
Core was generated by `target/release/testit'.
Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
#0  0x000055be86d1d3c6 in winit::platform::platform::x11::xdisplay::XConnection::new (
    error_handler=...)
    at /home/arian/.cargo/registry/src/gh.neting.cc-1ecc6299db9ec823/winit-0.7.6/src/platform/linux/x11/xdisplay.rs:56
56	    }

The code seems to emit a ud2 instruction which makes the CPU crash per definiton:

After doing some googlling. the unreachable instruction is emitted by the rust compiler in certain scenarios:
rust-lang/rfcs#1454

[arianvp]

I'm not sure why it is even reaching the X11 code in the first place. As I'm using Wayland.

[elinorbgr]

Do you see the grey very basic borders draw by wayland-window? (with 3 rectangle green/yellow/red buttons ?)

If not, your winit is probably not finding your wayland compositor and falling back to x11 via Xwayland.

Regarding the actual issue, could this be the same as #376 ? If so cargo update should fix it.

[arianvp]

It works now again. It was something with XWayland and my setup
