rustc subcommand #1568

sondrele · 2015-05-02T00:04:52Z

Work in progress

I have followed issue #595 for a while now. I hope that this PR can solve it, after it's done of course.

@alexcrichton: on IRC the other day, you suggested adding a Vec<String> to the CompileOptions. I have done this, but wasn't sure what the best way to identify the correct Target would be, so currently everything gets compiled with the additional arguments.
I considered adding a Target structure to the CompileOptions as well, and then in cargo_rustc::build_base_args only append the arguments if the Target matches. What do you think about this? Is there an easier way of figuring out the correct Target?

r? @alexcrichton

- `cargo rustc` is starting out based on `cargo build`

- The new field is a list with arguments to compile the target with. - There should only be one target that gets compiled with these arguments

…tions. - The new tests verifies that the extra arguments gets appended to the command. One is for lib and one is for main - Currently the arguments gets passed on to *every* target that gets built, so the tests only contain one file each

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @alexcrichton (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. The way Github handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.

src/bin/rustc.rs

+Compile a package and all of its dependencies
+
+Usage:
+ cargo rustc [options] [<pkgid>] [--] [<opts>...]


Ah when I originally wrote this spec we didn't have a -p argument, but nowadays this <pkgid> argument should be specified through -p, --package instead.

Nice! I left a comment about how I think Profile may be the best place for this to go, but there's a few other things I'd like to see for this:

Can you add some tests where you have some dependencies as well? The dependencies should not be compiled with the custom flags, but the main crate being compiled should work.
Can you add a test where there are multiple top-level targets? I think that cargo rustc should generate an error today if you have, for example, 8 binaries. When you're passing custom flags to the compiler I think we should start out by limiting it to passing it to only one invocation of the compiler.

I'm excited to see progress on this!

Thanks for the quick review!

I'll look into Profile and your other suggestions.
Would this also mean that it should be possible to specify the extra arguments directly in the Cargo.toml?
E.g.

[profile.dev]
opt-level = 0
debug = true
rustc-args = "..."

I have a feeling this could be confusing together with dependencies, since only the final target will be compiled with these flags. Also, that would probably make a new subcommand like this unnecessary.

- This field will be set by the `cargo rustc` command, only if one target is being compiled - The field can not be read from the Cargo.toml

…e that's being compiled instead. - An error will be returned if the length of `targets` is not 1 - The profile of `targets` gets cloned in order to append the extra arguments. - The new test verifies that the build fails due to both `lib` and `main` being compiled

… a dependency. - The test verifies that the trailing arguments only gets passed to the binary being built

…helper functions

- `build_with_args_to_one_of_multiple_binaries`, verify that only one bin gets built - `fails_with_args_to_all_binaries` - `build_with_args_to_one_of_multiple_tests`, same behavious as for the binaries - `build_foo_with_bar_dependency`, verify that bar dependency gets built and only foo gets compiled with args - `build_only_bar_dependency`, build the bar package, that foo depends, on with the extra args

sondrele · 2015-05-05T11:40:04Z

@alexcrichton Have you had a chance to look at this?
What do you think about the extra match and re-assignment to targets in cargo_compile::compile_pkg? Is this how you pictured it?

What do you think about the error message? It can be more descriptive, e.g. by including some more info about the targets that it tries to compile.

Another thing I'm not so sure about concerning the tests, is that they're currently relying on the extra arguments to rustc to come after the -g flag. I'm guessing this is not a safe assumption to make, but currently it works.

alexcrichton · 2015-05-05T17:29:19Z

Ah I will take another look @sondrele! Feel free to ping a PR with a comment as otherwise github doesn't send out notifications. I'd also recommend avoiding editing comments as modifications also don't send out notifications, and a few extra pieces of mail never hurt anyone :)

alexcrichton · 2015-05-05T17:30:21Z

Would this also mean that it should be possible to specify the extra arguments directly in the Cargo.toml?

For now let's avoid adding this step, but it's always a future possibility!

Oh don't worry, the tests are super brittle in terms of overhauling the output already, so adding a few more won't harm anyone!

src/cargo/ops/cargo_compile.rs

+ &Some(args) => {
+ if targets.len() > 1 {
+ return Err(human("extra arguments to `rustc` can only be \
+ invoked for one target"))


Yeah I agree that it would be nice to improve this error message a bit. It would be nice for it to mention the filtering utilities (e.g. --lib and --bin) and then also perhaps provide a suggestion along the lines of "consider passing --lib" (or something like that)

- Dereference arguments before matching - use square brackets for vec! macro

sondrele · 2015-05-06T12:17:00Z

I added an extra line in the error message which hopefully makes it a little better (if the grammar's correct).
It's also possible to add an example to the error message, something like:

...
consider filtering the package by passing e.g. 
`--lib` or `--bin NAME` to specify a single target
example: `cargo rustc --lib -- <opts>...`

alexcrichton · 2015-05-07T02:43:47Z

This all looks fantastic to me, thanks @sondrele! I'm gonna run this past @wycats one last time and then I'll send it off to bors.
