Status: This issue is waiting on initial triage.
Describe the problem you are trying to solve
In workspaces, especially very large workspaces, warnings are scattered around the output:
This makes it hard to see all the warnings; if there are enough crates being built they may disappear off the screen entirely and you might not see them at all.
Describe the solution you'd like
Cargo should print a sum of all the warnings at once:
warning: 43 warnings emitted for all path dependencies
. Since it uses--error-format=json --json=diagnostic-rendered-ansi
this should be ~fairly easy to calculate from the rustc diagnostics, but don't quote me on that ;)Ideally this wouldn't print warnings per-crate, just per-compile. However I'd rather have too much output than too little.
Notes
@joshtriplett suggested something like this in rust-lang/rust#77492 (comment), so I have a strong motivation to work on it myself if someone can write up mentoring instructions :)
