Removed to_binary, which was used only in a debug display. Replaced once_cell with lazy_static. The no-std build of once_cell did not support the Sync version of OnceCell, that was needed when creating static variables. On the other hand, lazy_static is the complete solution for lazyly initialized (Sync) static variables, and is no-std. With this changes, revm builds on a no-std platform.

lazy_static is unmaintained. Please just use once_cell with default-features = false.

That was my first try, doesn't work with once_cell::unsync::OnceCell, which is not Sync, thus it can't be used to initialize a static variable. It seems lazy_static manages to do it by using a spin-lock, what once_cell doesn't have.
Anyway, the other crate I removed, to-binary, is also unmaintained and is older, so I don't see the issue of using lazy_static.

See the once_cell FAQ:
- Does this crate support
no_std - Should I use
std::cell::OnceCell,once_cell, orlazy_static?
I say we enable the critical-section feature. cc @rakita

Just found once_cell::race. I'll use it instead of lazy_static.

OnceCell was stabilised inside rust, I would check if it works

to-binary is not relevant at all as it had very simpler usecase,

Sorry, it seems once_cell::race doesn't provide a generic OnceCell, instead it is specialized for some types that can be handled by atomic instructions. I'll change this PR to use critical-section.

Just came here to write this. We can use once_cell::race::OnlyBox, it does not require std and it fits nicely with the code

Well, I just pushed a version using critical-section, had to add a new feature and all. Should I change?

It would be better to change it, fewer features to maintain and it would work out of the box ( pun intended :))

@lvella what is the best build command to add to CL for |
I don't know the best, but what I have been using is this target that has no std available, so a dependency can't inadvertedly rely on it. |
