New namespaced features implementation. This is a new implementation for namespaced features (#5565). See the `unstable.md` docs for a description of the new behavior. This is intended to fix several issues with the existing design, and to make it backwards compatible so that it does not require an opt-in flag. This also includes tangentially-related changes to the new feature resolver. The changes are: * `crate_name/feat_name` syntax will now always enable the feature `crate_name`, even if it is an inactive optional dependency (such as a dependency for another platform). The intent here is to have a certain amount of consistency whereby "features" are always activated, but individual crates will still not be activated. * `--all-features` will now enable features for inactive optional dependencies. This is more consistent with `--features foo` enabling the `foo` feature, even when the `foo` dep is not activated. I'm still very conflicted on how that should work, but I think it is better from a simplicity/consistency perspective. I still think it may be confusing if someone has a `cfg(some_dep)` in their code, and `some_dep` isn't built, it will error. The intent is that `cfg(accessible(some_dep))` will be the preferred method in the future, or using platform `cfg` expression like `cfg(windows)` to match whatever is in Cargo.toml. Closes #8044 Closes #8046 Closes #8047 Closes #8316 ## Questions - For various reasons, I changed the way dependency conflict errors are collected. One slightly negative consequence is that it will raise an error for the first problem it detects (like a "missing feature"). Previously it would collect a list of all missing features and display all of them in the error message. Let me know if I should retain the old behavior. I think it will make the code more complicated and brittle, but it shouldn't be too hard (essentially `Requirements` will need to collect a list of errors, and then `resolve_features` would need to check if the list is non-empty, and then aggregate the errors). - Should `cargo metadata` show the implicit features in the "features" table? Currently it does not, and I think that is probably best (it mirrors what is in `Cargo.toml`), but I could potentially see an argument to show how cargo sees the implicit features.
Cargo
Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.
Learn more at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/
Code Status
Code documentation: https://docs.rs/cargo/
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
curl
(on Unix)pkg-config
(on Unix, used to figure out thelibssl
headers/libraries)- OpenSSL headers (only for Unix, this is the
libssl-dev
package on ubuntu) cargo
andrustc
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
Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases. High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Detailed release notes are available in this repo at CHANGELOG.md.
