Freshness
from DependencyQueue
Ever since the inception of Cargo and the advent of incremental compilation at the crate level via Cargo, Cargo has tracked whether it needs to recompile something at a unit level in its "dependency queue" which manages when items are ready for execution. Over time we've fixed lots and lots of bugs related to incremental compilation, and perhaps one of the most impactful realizations was that the model Cargo started with fundamentally doesn't handle interrupting Cargo halfway through and resuming the build later. The previous model relied upon implicitly propagating "dirtiness" based on whether the one of the dependencies of a build was rebuilt or not. This information is not available, however, if Cargo is interrupted and resumed (or performs a subset of steps and then later performs more). We've fixed this in a number of places historically but the purpose of this commit is to put a nail in this coffin once and for all. Implicit propagation of whether a unit is fresh or dirty is no longer present at all. Instead Cargo should always know, irrespective of it's in-memory state, whether a unit needs to be recompiled or not. This commit actually turns up a few bugs in the test suite, so later commits will be targeted at fixing this. Note that this required a good deal of work on the `fingerprint` module to fix some longstanding bugs (like #6780) and some serious hoops had to be jumped through for others (like #6779). While these were fallout from this change they weren't necessarily the primary motivation, but rather to help make `fingerprints` a bit more straightforward in what's an already confusing system! Closes #6780
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
python
curl
(on Unix)- 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
High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases.
