In addition to `foo:1.2.3`, we now support `foo@1.2.3` for pkgids. We
are also making it the default way of rendering pkgid's for the user.
With cargo-add in #10472, we've decided to only use `@` in it and to add
it as an alternative to `:` in the rest of cargo. `cargo-add`
originally used `@`. When preparing it for merge, I switched to `:` to
be consistent with pkgids. When discussing this, it was felt `@` has
precedence in too many tools to switch to `:` but that we should instead
switch pkgid's to use `@`, in a backwards compatible way.

Implement "artifact dependencies" (RFC-3028)
Tracking issue: #9096
#### Tasks
* [x] -Z unstable option called `bindeps`
* ✅ **(config)** allow parsing of newly introduced 'artifact' fields
* [x] into `TomlManifest`
* [x] into `Manifest`
- [x] ~~abort~~ warn if artifacts are used on stable
* ✅ **resolver** : assure artifact dependencies are part of the resolution process and unified into the dependency tree
* 🔬**compiler**: make it understand 'artifact' dependencies and pass new environment variables to the crate being build
* [x] `lib=false` should not be considered a rust library for the dependent, in unit and possibly resolve graph
* [x] assure profile settings are applied correctly
* [x] target overrides work
* [x] `target = "target"` in build deps
* [x] other targets on build deps
* [x] other targets on non-build deps
* [x] 'no-cross doc tests' seems like a constraint we should apply as well maybe
* [x] more confidence with `resolver = "2"`
* [x] assure artifact placement is correct (bin and various forms of lib)
* ✅ **serialization**: rewriting manifests (i.e. for publishing) does not discard artifact information
* [x] publishing keeps `artifact` and `lib` values
* **Other cargo subcommands**
* [x] `cargo metadata`
* leave unchanged
* [x] artifacts work with `cargo check`
* [x] artifacts work with rustdoc, such that it doesn't document them unless `lib=true`
* [x] `cargo tree` maybe?
* [x] `cargo clean` should clean artifacts - even though it's more complex, ultimately it deletes the `target` directory.
* [x] artifacts work with `cargo test` (and dev-dependencies)
* [x] doctests
* [x] try `reproducible` repository as well.
* 🧪 **tests** for more subtle RFC constraints
- [x] build scripts cannot access artifact environment variables at compile time, only at runtime)
- [x] assure 'examples' which also support crate-type fields like [[lib]] won't become artifacts themselves.
- [x] assure `--out-dir` does not leak artifacts - tested manually, it seemed to niche to add a test.
- [x] try `target="foo"` in artifact and assure it sees a decent error message
- [x] Assure RFC 3176 _doesn't_ work
* 🧹cleanup and finalization
- [x] assure no `TODO(ST)` markers are left in code
- [x] assure no tests are ignored
- [x] use `resolver = "1"` once to assert everything also works with the previous resolver, but leave it on "2".
#### Implementation and review notes
- artifacts and unstable options are only checked when transforming them from `TomlManifest` to `Manifest`, discarding artifact information if the unstable flag is not set. Nowhere else in code will the CLI options be checked again.
- `If no binaries are specified, all the binaries in the package will be built and made available.` - this should only refer to `[[bin]]` targets, not examples for instance.
- artifact binaries won't be uplifted, hence won't be present outside of their output directory
- ❗️We don't know how [package links](00e925f61f/src/cargo/core/compiler/unit_dependencies.rs (L380)) will affect artifacts for build dependencies. Should probably be thought through.
- ❗️The location of artifacts is only tested roughly to avoid having to deal with different output names on the four platforms that seem to matter (gnu, macos, windows msvc, windows gnu).
- `cargo tree` doesn't handle artifacts specifically, and it might be interesting to make clear if an artifact is only an artifact, or both artifact and dependency.
- Most error and warning messages can probably be more cargo-matic.
#### Questions
* Does `cargo` without the feature enabled have to complain about the "artifact" field in a dependency, like it does right now? It doesn't look like machinery for that exists in `do_read_manifest()`.
- ✔️It warns now
* Should parsing of artifact values, like "bin" be case sensitive?
- ✔️ It's case sensitive now, which should help with serde roundtripping.
#### Review Progress
* [x] address Josh's review notes one by one
* [x] introduce `IsArtifact` (see [this answer](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9992#discussion_r774928102)) (76cd48a2d62d74e043a1a482199c5bb920f50311)
* [x] prefer uplifting artifact deps that were written into the `deps` directory, but prefer to do that in [this PR instead](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9992)
* [x] add extra-tests as described in Josh's comment: " features get unified between a Rust library and a binary, and one that confirms features don't get unified between a Rust library and a binary for a different target?"
* [x] Make target-based artifact splitting work by porting parts of RFC-3176
* [x] test-support/cross-compile
* [x] namespace separation
* [x] re-create RFC-3176 what's not in RFC-3028, namely multidep support and all related tests
* [x] Address Eh2406 's review comments
* [x] Address Eric's comments
* [x] Unstable features need to be documented in unstable.md.
* [x] sort out [`target_data`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9992#discussion_r787316229)
* [x] figure out [cargo metadata](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9992#discussion_r787320923)
* [x] See if target-data can work without an [index format update](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9992#issuecomment-1021697124).
* [x] truncate comments at 80-90 lines and remove unused methods, remove -Z unstable-options, use `cfg!(target_env = "msvc")`

Original PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9992
Add 'bindeps' -Z flag for later use
A test to validate artifact dependencies aren't currently parsed.
Parse 'artifact' and 'lib' fields.
Note that this isn't behind a feature toggle so 'unused' messages will
disappear.
Transfer artifact dependencies from toml- into manifest-dependencies
There are a few premises governing the operation.
- if unstable features are not set, warn when 'artifact' or 'lib' is
encountered.
- bail if 'lib' is encountered alone, but warn that this WOULD happen
with nightly.
- artifact parsing checks for all invariants, but some aren't tested.
Assure serialization of 'artifact' and 'lib' fields produces suitable values during publishing
This should be the only place were these fields matter and where a cargo
manifest is actually produced. These are only for internal use, no user
is typically going to see or edit them.
Place all artifact dependency tests inta their own module
This facilitates deduplication later and possibly redistribution into
other modules if there is a better fit.
Represent artifacts that are rust libraries as another ArtifactKind
This is more consistent and probably simpler for later use.
No need to reflect the TOML data structure.
Add tests to assure only 'lib = true' artifact deps are documented
RFC-3028 doesn't talk about documentation, but for lib=true it's clear
what the desired behaviour should be.
If an artifact isn't a library though, then for now, it's transparent,
maybe.
Many more tests, more documentation, mild `Artifact` refactor
The latter seems to be a better fit for what being an artifact
really means within cargo, as it literally turns being a library
on or off, and thus only optionally becoming a normal library.
refactor to prepare for artifact related checks
Don't show a no-lib warning for artifact dependencies (with lib = false)
Tests for more artifact dependency invariants
These are merely a proof of concept to show that we are not in
a position to actually figure out everything about artifacts
right after resolution.
However, the error message looks more like a fatal error and less
like something that can happen with a more elaborate error message
with causes.
This might show that these kind of checks might be better done later
right before trying to use the information for create compile units.
Validate that artifact deps with lib=true still trigger no-lib warnings
This triggers the same warning as before, for now without any
customization to indicate it's an artifact dependency.
Use warnings instead of errors
------------------------------
This avoids the kind of harsh end of compilation in favor of something
that can be recovered from. Since warnings are annoying, users will
probably avoid re-declaring artifact dependencies.
Hook in artifact dependencies into build script runs
Even though we would still have to see what happens if they have a lib
as well. Is it built twice?
Also
----
- fly-by refactor: fix typo; use ? in method returning option
- Propagate artifact information into Units; put artifacts into place
This means artifacts now have their own place in the 'artifact'
directory and uplifts won't happen for them.
- refactor and fix cippy suggestion
- fix build after rebasing onto master
Create directories when executing the job, and not when preparing it.
also: Get CI to work on windows the easy way, for now.
Set directories for artifact dependencies in build script runtimes
Test remaining kinds of build-script runtime environment variables
Also
----
- Fix windows tests, the quick way.
- Try to fix windows assertions, and generalize them
- Fix second test for windows, hopefully
test for available library dependency in build scripts with lib = true
probably generally exclude all artifact dependencies with lib=false.
Pass renamed dep names along with unit deps to allow proper artifact env names
Test for selective bin:<name> syntax, as well as binaries with dashes
Test to assure dependency names are transformed correctly
assure advertised binaries and directories are actually present
This wouldn't be the case if dependencies are not setup correctly,
for instance.
Also
----
- make it easier to see actual values even on failure
This should help figure out why on CI something fails that works
locally no matter what.
Turns out this is a race condition, with my machine being on the good
side of it so it doesn't show in testing. Fortunately it still can be
reproduced and easily tested for.
- refactor test; the race condition is still present though
- Force CI to pass here by avoiding checks triggering race.
- Fix windows build, maybe?
More tolerant is_file() checks to account for delay on CI
This _should_ help CI to test for the presence which is better than
not testing at all.
This appears to be needed as the output file isn't ready/present in time
for some reason.
The root cause of this issue is unknown, but it's definitely a race
as it rarely happens locally. When it happened, the file was always
present after the run.
Now we will learn if it is truly not present, ever, or if it's maybe
something very else.
Validate libs also don't see artifact dependencies as libraries with lib=false
Also
----
- Add prelimiary test for validating build-time artifacts
- Try to fix CI on gnu windows
Which apparently generates paths similar to linux, but with .exe suffix.
The current linux patterns should match that.
- refactor
Help sharing code across modules
allow rustc to use artifact dep environment variables, but…
…it needs some adjustments to actually setup the unit dependency graph
with artifacts as well.
Right now it will only setup dependencies for artifacts that are libs,
but not the artifacts themselves, completely ignoring them when they
are not libs.
Make artifact dependencies available in main loop
This is the commit message #2:
------------------------------
rough cut of support for artifact dependencies at build time…
…which unfortunately already shows that the binary it is supposed to
include is reproducibly not ready in time even though the path is
correct and it's present right after the run.
Could it be related to rmeta?
This is the commit message #3:
------------------------------
Fix test expectations as failure is typical than the warning we had before…
…and add some tolerance to existing test to avoid occasional failures.
This doesn't change the issue that it also doens't work at all for
libraries, which is nicely reproducable and hopefully helps to fix
this issue.
This is the commit message #4:
------------------------------
Probably the fix for the dependency issue in the scheduler
This means that bin() targets are now properly added to the job graph
to cause proper syncing, whereas previously apparently it would
still schedule binaries, but somehow consider them rmeta and thus
start their dependents too early, leading to races.
This is the commit message #5:
------------------------------
Don't accidentally include non-gnu windows tests in gnu windows.
Support cargo doc and cargo check
The major changes here are…
- always compile artifacts in build mode, as we literally want the
build output, always, which the dependent might rely on being present.
- share code between the rather similar looking paths for rustdoc and
rustc.
Make artifact messages appear more in line with cargo by using backticks
Also: Add first test for static lib support in build scripts
build-scripts with support for cdylib and staticlib
- Fix windows msvc build
No need to speculate why the staticlib has hashes in the name even
though nothing else.
staticlib and cdylib support for libraries
test staticlib and cdylibs for rustdoc as well.
Also catch a seemingly untested special case/warning about the lack
of linkable items, which probably shouldn't be an issue for artifacts
as they are not linkable in the traditional sense.
more useful test for 'cargo check'
`cargo check` isn't used very consistently in tests, so when we use it
we should be sure to actually try to use an artifact based feature
to gain some coverage.
verify that multiple versions are allowed for artifact deps as well.
also: remove redundant test
This is the commit message #2:
------------------------------
Properly choose which dependencies take part in artifact handling
Previously it would include them very generously without considering
the compatible dependency types.
This is the commit message #3:
------------------------------
a more complex test which includes dev-dependencies
It also shows that doc-tests don't yet work as rustdoc is run outside of
the system into which we integrate right now.
It should be possible to write our environment variable configuration
in terms of this 'finished compilation' though, hopefully with
most code reused.
This is the commit message #4:
------------------------------
A first stab at storing artifact environment variables for packages…
…however, it seems like the key for this isn't necessarily correct
under all circumstances. Maybe it should be something more specific,
don't know.
This is the commit message #5:
------------------------------
Adjust key for identifying units to Metadata
This one is actually unique and feels much better.
This is the commit message #6:
------------------------------
Attempt to make use of artifact environment information…
…but fail as the metadata won't match as the doctest unit is, of course,
its separate unit. Now I wonder if its possible to find the artifact
units in question that have the metadata.
Properly use metadata to use artifact environment variables in doctests
This is the commit message #2:
------------------------------
Add test for resolver = "2" and build dependencies
Interestingly the 'host-features' flag must be set (as is seemingly
documented in the flags documentation as well), even though I am not
quite sure if this is the 100% correct solution. Should it rather
have an entry with this flag being false in its map? Probably not…
but I am not quite certain.
This is the commit message #3:
------------------------------
set most if not all tests to use resolver = "2"
This allows to keep it working with the most recent version while
allowing to quickly test with "1" as well (which thus far was working
fine).
All tests I could imagine (excluding target and profiles) are working now
Crossplatform tests now run on architecture aarm64 as well.
More stringent negative testing
Fix incorrect handling of dependency directory computation
Previously it would just 'hack' the deps-dir to become something very
different for artifacts.
This could easily be fixed by putting the logic for artifact output
directories into the right spot.
A test for cargo-tree to indicate artifacts aren't handled specifically
Assure build-scripts can't access artifacts at build time
Actual doc-tests with access to artifact env vars
All relevant parsing of `target = [..]`
Next step is to actually take it into consideration.
A failing test for adjusting the target for build script artifacts using --target
Check for unknown artifact target triple in a place that exists for a year
The first test showing that `target="target"` deps seemingly work
For now only tested for build scripts, but it won't be much different
for non-build dependencies.
build scripts accept custom targets unconditionally
Support target setting for non-build dependencies
This is the commit message #2:
------------------------------
Add doc-test cross compile related test
Even though there is no artifact code specific to doc testing, it's
worth to try testing it with different target settings to validate
it still works despite doc tests having some special caseing around
target settings.
This is the commit message #3:
------------------------------
A test to validate profiles work as expected for build-deps and non-build deps
No change is required to make this work and artifact dependencies 'just work'
based on the typical rules of their non-artifact counterarts.
This is the commit message #4:
------------------------------
Adjust `cargo metadata` to deal with artifact dependencies
This commit was squashed and there is probably more that changed.
This is the commit message #5:
------------------------------
Show bin-only artifacts in "resolve" of metadata as well.
This is the commit message #6:
------------------------------
minor refactoring during research for RFC-3176
This will soon need to return multiple extern-name/dep-name pairs.
This is the commit message #7:
------------------------------
See if opt-level 3 works on win-msvc in basic profile test for artifacts
This is the same value as is used in the other test of the same name,
which certainly runs on windows.
This is the commit message #8:
------------------------------
refactor
Assure the type for targets reflect that they cannot be the host target,
which removes a few unreachable!() expressions.
Put `root_unit_compile_kind` into `UnitFor`
Previously that wasn't done because of the unused `all_values()`
method which has now been deleted as its not being used anyomre.
This allows for the root unit compile kind to be passed as originally
intended, instead of working around the previous lack of extendability
of UnitFor due to ::all_values().
This is also the basis for better/correct feature handling once
feature resolution can be depending on the artifact target as well,
resulting in another extension to UnitFor for that matter.
Also
----
- Fix ordering
Previously the re-created target_mode was used due to the reordering
in code, and who knows what kind of effects that might have
(despite the test suite being OK with it).
Let's put it back in place.
- Deactivate test with filename collision on MSVC until RFC-3176 lands
Avoid clashes with binaries called 'artifact' by putting 'artifact/' into './deps/'
This commit addresses review comment https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9992#discussion_r772939834
Don't rely on operator precedence for boolean operations
Now it should be clear that no matter what the first term is,
if the unit is an artifact, we should enqueue it.
Replace boolean and `/*artifact*/ <bool>` with `IsArtifact::(Yes/No)`
fix `doc::doc_lib_false()` test
It broke due to major breakage in the way dependencies are calculated.
Now we differentiate between deps computation for docs and for building.
Avoid testing for doctest cross-compilation message
It seems to be present on my machine, but isn't on linux and it's
probably better to leave it out entirely and focus on the portions
of consecutive output that we want to see at least.
A test to validate features are unified across libraries and those in artifact deps in the same target
Allow aarch64 MacOS to crosscompile to an easily executable alternative target
That way more tests can run locally.
Support for feature resolution per target
The implementation is taken directly from RFC-3176 and notably lacks
the 'multidep' part.
Doing this definitely has the benefit of making entirely clear
'what is what' and helps to greatly reduce the scope of RFC-3176
when it's rebuilt based on the latest RF-3028, what we are implementing
right now.
Also
----
- A test which prooves that artifact deps with different target don't have a feature namespace yet
- Add a test to validate features are namespaced by target
Previously it didn't work because it relies on resolver = "2".
- 'cargo metadata' test to see how artifact-deps are presented
- Missed an opportunity for using the newly introduced `PackageFeaturesKey`
- Use a HashMap to store name->value relations for artifact environment variables
This is semantically closer to what's intended.
also: Remove a by now misleading comment
Prevent resolver crash if `target = "target"` is encountered in non-build dependencies
A warning was emitted before, now we also apply a fix.
Previously the test didn't fail as it accidentally used the old
resolver, which now has been removed.
Abort in parsing stage if nightly flag is not set and 'artifact' is used
There is no good reason to delay errors to a later stage when code
tries to use artifacts via environment variables which are not present.
Change wording of warning message into what's expected for an error message
remove unnecessary `Result` in `collect()` call
Improve logic to warn if dependencie are ignored due to missing libraries
The improvement here is to trigger correctly if any dependency of a
crate is potentially a library, without having an actual library target
as part of the package specification.
Due to artifact dependencies it's also possible to have a dependency
to the same crate of the same version, hence the package name
isn't necessarily a unique name anymore. Now the name of the actual
dependency in the toml file is used to alleviate this.
Various small changes for readability and consistency
A failing test to validate artifacts work in published crates as well
Originally this should have been a test to see target acquisition works
but this more pressing issue surfaced instead.
Make artifacts known to the registry data (backwards compatible)
Now artifacts are serialized into the registry on publish (at least
if this code is actually used in the real crates-io registry) which
allows the resolve stage to contain artifact information.
This seems to be in line with the idea to provide cargo with all
information it needs to do package resolution without downloading
the actual manifest.
Pick up all artifact targets into target info once resolve data is available
Even though this works in the test at hand, it clearly shows there
is a cyclic dependency between the resolve and the target data.
In theory, one would have to repeat resolution until it settles
while avoiding cycles.
Maybe there is a better way.
Add `bindeps`/artifact dependencies to `unstsable.md` with examples
Fix tests
Various small improvements
Greatly simplify artifact environment propagation to commands
Remove all adjustments to cargo-metadata, but leave tests
The tests are to record the status quo with the current code
when artifact dependencies are present and assure the information
is not entirely non-sensical.
Revert "Make artifacts known to the registry data (backwards compatible)"
This reverts commit adc5f8ad04840af9fd06c964cfcdffb8c30769b0.
Ideally we are able to make it work without altering the registry
storage format. This could work if information from the package
set is added to the resolve information.
Enrich resolves information with additional information from downloaded manifests
Resolve information comes from the registry, and it's only as rich as
needed to know which packages take part in the build.
Artifacts, however, don't influence dependency resolution, hence it
shouldn't be part of it.
For artifact information being present nonetheless when it matters,
we port it back to the resolve graph where it will be needed later.
Collect 'forced-target' information from non-workspace members as well
This is needed as these targets aren't present in the registry and
thus can't be picked up by traversing non-workspce members.
The mechanism used to pick up artifact targets can also be used
to pick up these targets.
Remove unnecessary adjustment of doc test
refactor `State::deps()` to have filter; re-enable accidentally disabled test
The initial rebasing started out with a separted `deps_filtered()`
method to retain the original capabilities while minimizing the chance
for surprises. It turned out that the all changes combined in this PR
make heavy use of filtering capabilities to the point where
`deps(<without filter>)` was unused. This suggested that it's required
to keep it as is without a way to inline portions of it.
For the original change that triggered this rebase, see
bd45ac81ba
The fix originally made was reapplied by allowing to re-use the
required filter, but without inlining it.
Always error on invalid artifact setup, with or without enabled bindeps feature
Clarify how critical resolver code around artifact is working
Remove workaround in favor of deferring a proper implementation
See https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9992#issuecomment-1033394197
for reference and the TODO in the ignored test for more information.
truncate comments at 80-90c; cleanup
- remove unused method
- remove '-Z unstable-options'
- improve error message
- improve the way MSVC special cases are targetted in tests
- improve how executables are found on non MSVC
Avoid depending on output of rustc
There is cyclic dependency between rustc and cargo which makes it
impossible to adjust cargo's expectations on rustc without leaving
broken commits in rustc and cargo.
Add missing documentation
fix incorrect removal of non-artifact libs
This is also the first step towards cleaning up the filtering logic
which is still making some logic harder to understand than needs be.
The goal is to get it to be closer to what's currently on master.
Another test was added to have more safety regarding the overall
library inclusion logic.
inline `build_artifact_requirements_to_units()`
Simplify filtering
This adds a default filter to `state.deps(…)` making it similar to
what's currently in master, while creating another version of it
to allow setting a custom filter. This is needed as the default filter
won't allow build dependencies, which we need in this particular case.
`calc_artifact_deps(…)` now hard-codes the default filter which is
needed due to the use of `any` here:
c0e6abe384/src/cargo/core/compiler/unit_dependencies.rs (L1119)
.
Simplify filtering.
This commit continues the work from #9112 to enable `unpacked` split
debuginfo on macOS targets by default. This has been discussed on [internals]
for awhile now and no breakage has emerged while significant speedups
have. This is expected to be a compile-time and `target`-directory size
win for almost all macOS Rust projects.
While breakage is possible it's possible to mitigate this with
project-local or global cargo configuration of the `dev` and `test` profiles.
[internals]: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/help-test-faster-incremental-debug-macos-builds-on-nightly/14016/9
Previously, since `ENABLE_NIGHTLY_FEATURES` and
`NIGHTLY_FEATURES_ENABLED` were thread locals, reading them in any other
thread would always say nightly features were disabled. Now, they are
tied to the `Context` itself, so it is both more clear how the variables
are being set and fixes the behavior within work threads.
Note that `Context` is not thread-safe, so this passes a boolean through
to `BuildOutput::parse`.
This commit adds a new `split-debuginfo` option to Cargo compilation
profiles which gets forwarded to the `-Csplit-debuginfo` codegen option
in rustc. This commit also sets the default, only on macOS, to be
`-Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked`. The purpose of this change is to leverage
rust-lang/rust#79570 to avoid running `dsymutil` on incremental builds
while also preserving a pleasant debugging experience by default. This
should lead to much faster incremental build times on macOS since
`dsymutil` isn't exactly the speediest tool in the world.
This is technically a breaking change in Cargo because we're no longer
by-default producing the `*.dSYM` folders on macOS. If those are still
desired, however, authors can always run `dsymutil` themselves or
otherwise configure `split-debuginfo = 'packed'` in their
manifest/profile configuration.
This commit updates Cargo's build of host dependencies to build them
with optimization level 0 by default instead of matching the profile of
the final binary.
Since Cargo's inception build dependencies have, by default, been built
in a profile that largely matches the profile of the final target
artifact. Build dependencies, however, rarely actually need to be
optimized and are often executing very small tasks, which means that
optimizing them often wastes a lot of build time. A great example of
this is procedural macros where `syn` and friends are pretty heavyweight
to optimize, and the amount of Rust code they're parsing is typically
quite small, so the time spent optimizing rarely comes as a benefit.
The goal of this PR is to improve build times on average in the
community by not spending time optimizing build dependencies (build
scripts, procedural macros, and their transitive dependencies). The PR
will not be a universal win for everyone, however. There's some
situations where your build time may actually increase:
* In some cases build scripts and procedural macros can take quite a
long time to run!
* Cargo may not build dependencies more than once if they're shared with
the main build. This only applies to builds without `--target` where
the same crate is used in the final binary as in a build script.
In these cases, however, the `build-override` profile has existed for
some time know and allows giving a knob to tweak this behavior. For
example to get back the previous build behavior of Cargo you would
specify, in `Cargo.toml`:
[profile.release.build-override]
opt-level = 3
or you can configure this via the environment:
export CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_BUILD_OVERRIDE_OPT_LEVEL=3
There are two notable features we would like to add in the future which
would make the impact of a change like this smaller, but they're not
implemented at this time (nor do we have concrete plans to implement
them). First we would like crates to have a way of specifying they
should be optimized by default, despite default profile options. Often
crates, like lalrpop historically, have abysmal performance in debug
mode and almost always (even in debug builds) want to be built in
release mode. The second feature is that ideally crate authors would be
able to tell Cargo to minimize the number of crates built, unifying
profiles where possible to avoid double-compiling crates.
At this time though the Cargo team feels that the benefit of changing
the defaults is well worth this change. Neither today nor directly after
this change will be a perfect world, but it's hoped that this change
makes things less bad!
This commit is targeted at further improving the error messages
generated from git errors. For authentication errors the actual URL
fetched is now printed out as well if it's different from the original
URL. This should help handle `insteadOf` logic where SSH urls are used
instead of HTTPS urls and users can know to track that down.
Otherwise the logic about recommending `net.git-fetch-with-cli` was
tweaked a bit and moved to the same location as the rest of our error
reporting.
Note that a change piggy-backed here as well is that `Caused by:` errors
are now automatically all tabbed over a bit instead of only having the
first line tabbed over. This required a good number of tests to be
updated, but it's just an updated in renderings.
This commit is the Cargo half of support necessary for
rust-lang/rust#70458. Today the compiler emits embedded bytecode in
rlibs by default, but compresses it. This is both extraneous disk space
and wasted build time for almost all builds, so the PR in question there
is changing rustc to have a `-Cembed-bitcode` flag which, when enabled,
places the bitcode in the object file rather than an auxiliary file (no
extra compression), but also enables `-Cembed-bitcode=no` to disable
bitcode emission entirely.
This Cargo support changes Cargo to pass `-Cembed-bitcode=no` for almost
all compilations. Cargo will keep `lto = true` and such working by not
passing this flag (and thus allowing bitcode to get embedded), but by
default `cargo build` and `cargo build --release` will no longer have
any bitcode in rlibs which should result in speedier builds!
Most of the changes here were around the test suite and various
assertions about the `rustc` command lines we spit out. One test was
hard-disabled until we can get `-Cembed-bitcode=no` into nightly, and
then we can make it a nightly-only test. The test will then be stable
again once `-Cembed-bitcode=no` hits stable.
Note that this is intended to land before the upstream `-Cembed-bitcode`
change. The thinking is that we'll land everything in rust-lang/rust all
at once so there's no build time regressions for anyone. If we were to
land the `-Cembed-bitcode` PR first then there would be a build time
regression until we land Cargo changes because rustc would be emitting
uncompressed bitcode by default and Cargo wouldn't be turning it off.
Add proc-macro to index, and new feature resolver.
This adds the "pm" field to the index so that Cargo can detect which packages contain a proc-macro without downloading the package.
The second commit builds on that to support proc-macros in the new "de-unification" of the new feature resolver. This prevents dependencies shared between proc-macros and other dependency kinds from having features unified.

Stabilize profile-overrides.
This stabilizes the profile-overrides feature. This was proposed in [RFC 2282](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2282) and implemented in #5384. Tracking issue is https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48683.
This is intended to land in 1.41 which will reach the stable channel on Jan 30th.
This includes a new documentation chapter on profiles. See the ["Overrides" section](9c993a92ce/src/doc/src/reference/profiles.md (overrides)) in `profiles.md` file for details on what is being stabilized.
Note: The `config-profile` and `named-profiles` features are still unstable.
Closes#6214
**Concerns**
- There is some risk that `build-override` may be confusing with the [proposed future dedicated `build` profile](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/6577). There is some more discussion about the differences at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48683#issuecomment-445571286. I don't expect it to be a significant drawback. If we proceed later with a dedicated `build` profile, I think we can handle explaining the differences in the documentation. (The linked PR is designed to work with profile-overrides.)
- I don't anticipate any unexpected interactions with `config-profiles` or `named-profiles`.
- Some of the syntax like `"*"` or `build-override` may not be immediately obvious what it means without reading the documentation. Nobody suggested any alternatives, though.
- Configuring overrides for multiple packages is currently a pain, as you have to repeat the settings separately for each package. I propose that we can extend the syntax in the future to allow a comma-separated list of package names to alleviate this concern if it is deemed worthwhile.
- The user may not know which packages to override, particularly for some dependencies that are split across multiple crates. I think, since this is an advanced feature, the user will likely be comfortable with using things like `cargo tree` to understand what needs to be overridden. There is [some discussion](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48683#issuecomment-473356415) in the tracking issue about automatically including a package's dependencies, but this is somewhat complex.
- There is some possibly confusing interaction with the test/bench profile. Because dependencies are always built with the dev/release profiles, overridding test/bench usually does not have an effect (unless specifying a workspace member that is being tested/benched). Overriding test/bench was previously prohibited, but was relaxed when named profiles were added.
- We may want to allow overriding the `panic`, `lto`, and `rpath` settings in the future. I can imagine a case where someone has a large workspace, and wants to override those settings for just one package in the workspace. They are currently not allowed because it doesn't make sense to change those settings for rlibs, and `panic` usually needs to be in sync for the whole profile.
- There are some strange interactions with `dylib` crates detailed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64319. A fix was attempted, but later reverted. Since `dylib` crates are rare (this mostly applied to `libstd`), and a workaround was implemented for `build-std` (it no longer builds a dylib), I'm not too worried about this.
- The interaction with `share-generics` can be quite confusing (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63484). I added a section in the docs that tries to address this concern. It's also possible future versions of `rustc` may handle this better.
- The new documentation duplicates some of the information in the rustc book. I think it's fine, as there are subtle differences, and it avoids needing to flip back and forth between the two books to learn what the settings do.
This change ensures cargo will output file paths in the expected format
(C:\foo\... on Windows, /foo/... elsewhere). Previously it would output
file:// URLs instead.
To support this change, additional changes were made to the test suite
string processing such that [ROOT] is now replaced with the appropriate
file path root for the platform.
The CWD template was also updated to use [CWD] like other replacement
templates and to do the replacement on the expected value rather than
the actual value to avoid replacing things we don't expect with CWD.
* Collapse the nested cargotest::support module into the cargotest
module (merge the mod.rs's)
* Rename the cargotest module to support
* Nest the top-level hamcrest module into support
By rewriting the tests, with rerast (https://github.com/google/rerast),
to use the newly introduced "at" method.
First I added the following temporary function to cargotest::support:
pub fn project_foo() -> ProjectBuilder {
project("foo")
}
Then I defined the following rewrite.rs:
use cargotest::support::{ project, project_foo };
fn rule1(a: &'static str) {
replace!(project("foo") => project_foo());
replace!(project(a) => project_foo().at(a));
}
Then I ran rerast:
cargo +nightly rerast --rules_file=rewrite.rs --force --targets tests --file tests/testsuite/main.rs
Finally I searched and replaced the references to project_foo with
argument-less project (a little awkardly on macOS with a git clean).
find tests -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/project_foo/project/g' {} +
git clean -d tests
Notes:
- `-Z config-profile` CLI option is required to use.
- Config values no longer reject mixed base types (integer, string, boolean) in order to support the mixed types in profiles.
