Parse less JSON on null builds

This commit fixes a performance pathology in Cargo today. Whenever Cargo
generates a lock file (which happens on all invocations of `cargo build`
for example) Cargo will parse the crates.io index to learn about
dependencies. Currently, however, when it parses a crate it parses the
JSON blob for every single version of the crate. With a lock file,
however, or with incremental builds only one of these lines of JSON is
relevant. Measured today Cargo building Cargo parses 3700 JSON
dependencies in the registry.

This commit implements an optimization that brings down the number of
parsed JSON lines in the registry to precisely the right number
necessary to build a project. For example Cargo has 150 crates in its
lock file, so now it only parses 150 JSON lines (a 20x reduction from
3700). This in turn can greatly improve Cargo's null build time. Cargo
building Cargo dropped from 120ms to 60ms on a Linux machine and 400ms
to 200ms on a Mac.

The commit internally has a lot more details about how this is done but
the general idea is to have a cache which is optimized for Cargo to read
which is maintained automatically by Cargo.

Cargo

Cargo downloads your Rust projects dependencies and compiles your project.

Installing Cargo

Cargo is distributed by default with Rust, so if you've got rustc installed locally you probably also have cargo installed locally.

Compiling from Source

Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:

  • git
  • python
  • curl (on Unix)
  • OpenSSL headers (only for Unix, this is the libssl-dev package on ubuntu)
  • cargo and rustc

First, you'll want to check out this repository

git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo
cd cargo

With cargo already installed, you can simply run:

cargo build --release

Adding new subcommands to Cargo

Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.

Releases

High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases.

Reporting issues

Found a bug? We'd love to know about it!

Please report all issues on the GitHub issue tracker.
