The variable is set to $target_dir/$config/tmp
This is a directory where tests & benches can place testcasei-related data
for use by the tests.
cargo makes sure the directory exists when building tests/benches.
This allows consumers of the json messages to avoid guessing where
exactly the package root is. Having access to the package root is
difficult by virtue of requiring logic to guess its location by e.g.
walking filesystem from the source file.
This guessing logic becomes further complicated in presence of
workspaces and nigh impossible to implement correctly in instances where
artifacts end up produced from paths above the package root (e.g.
`../foo.rs`).
Since Cargo has access to this data in the first place, there doesn't
seem to be much reason to force consumers to invent their own, possibly
flawed, logic.
Add split-debuginfo profile option
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.

Prior to this commit `cargo metadata` would not emit the value of a
target's "doc" setting, used by `cargo doc` to determine whether
documentation should be generated. However, this information is useful
for machine programs interested in such targets, and the information is
already made available on the internal representation of a target, so
this commit just exposes that during target serialization for emit.

This commit adds support for rustc's `-Z terminal-width` flag, which is
used to trim diagnostic output to fit within the current terminal.

Exclude the target directory from backups using CACHEDIR.TAG
This patch follows the lead of #4386 (which excludes target directories
from Time Machine backups) and is motived by the same reasons listen
in #3884. CACHEDIR.TAG is an OS-independent mechanism supported by Borg,
restic, GNU Tar and other backup/archiving solutions.
See https://bford.info/cachedir/ for more information about the
specification. This has been discussed in Rust Internals earlier this
year[1] and it seems like it's an uncontroversial improvement so I went
ahead with the patch.
One thing I'm wondering is whether this should maybe cover the whole main target directory (right now it applies to `target/debug`, `target/release` etc. but not to target root).
[1] https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-put-cachedir-tag-into-target/12262/11
This is following the discussion on GitHub. The doc tests are no longer
necessary because Layout::new() creates CACHEDIR.TAG directly in target
root, no doc-specific code is necessary anymore.
Add support for `workspace.metadata` table
Implements feature request #8309
Additionally includes the information in the output of "cargo metadata" through a new top-level field `metadata`, similar to the per-package `metadata` field
