For us, this is primarily right now a size issue. See:
https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/rust-staticlibs-and-optimizing-for-size/5746
For more information, there are these two issues:
rust-lang/cargo#4349
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386371
The basic issue here is that a build with LTO off (and a trivial
change to add a
println!
takes 14s here, and with it on takes 38s.However, with LTO off the stripped size of
librpmostree_rust.a
is6M
, with LTO on it's1.1M
.I named this
--enable-lto
as I'd like to investigate doing thisfor the C code too.
