Servo improved a lot, clap regressed a lot. Overall it is positive. I don't know how much this would affect cg_clif. Cranelift is made to compile one function at a time, so maybe using many cgus will not have as much of an overhead as cg_llvm. If so the reduced granularity of incremental compilation may outweight the benefits of less overhead for cg_clif. Would it make sense to make this configurable on a per backend level? (Preferably in a way that would also make #68349 possible.) |
clap doesn't really regress. It's just that that crate explicitly sets its CGU count to 4 which makes incremental compilation ineffective. Removing that line from the Cargo.toml brings things back to normal. The I'd expect the rules for a cranelift backend to be rather different overall. You could certainly make it use a different default if necessary. |
No, I can't. I can't change |
That seems potentially useful, but I think it's best if we defer until we have a real need -- especially because it's only going to be a small number of crates that explicitly set any value at all, right? |

Code seems reasonable. One question?
OK, r=me once rebased. I'm inclined to go forward and land this, since I don't expect any concerns to be raised on rust-lang/compiler-team#245 and we could always back it out if needed. |
Before this commit `-C codegen-units` would just get silently be ignored if `-C incremental` was specified too. After this commit one can control the number of codegen units generated during incremental compilation. The default is rather high at 256, so most crates won't see a difference unless explicitly opting into a lower count.

Would you mind updating the documentation? There is a sentence at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/doc/rustc/src/codegen-options/index.md#codegen-units that mentions its behavior with incremental that I think should be removed. If there is anything else in the documentation that could be fixed or expanded upon, your expertise would be appreciated! |

Update default for codegen-units. The default for codegen-units was changed in rust-lang/rust#70156.
Pkgsrc changes: * Remove a couple diffs which are now integrated upstream. * Adjust cargo checksums after upstream upgrades. * Belatedly bump the curl dependency * Unset DESTDIR during the build phase, to work around a mysterious build bug deep in the bowels of llvm. * Bump nearly all bootstraps to 1.43.1.

Compiler -------- - [Rustc now respects the `-C codegen-units` flag in incremental mode.][70156] Additionally when in incremental mode rustc defaults to 256 codegen units. - [Refactored `catch_unwind`, to have zero-cost unless unwinding is enabled and a panic is thrown.][67502] - [Added tier 3\* support for the `aarch64-unknown-none` and `aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat` targets.][68334] - [Added tier 3 support for `arm64-apple-tvos` and `x86_64-apple-tvos` targets.][68191] Libraries --------- - [Special cased `vec![]` to map directly to `Vec::new()`.][70632] This allows `vec![]` to be able to be used in `const` contexts. - [`convert::Infallible` now implements `Hash`.][70281] - [`OsString` now implements `DerefMut` and `IndexMut` returning a `&mut OsStr`.][70048] - [Unicode 13 is now supported.][69929] - [`String` now implements `From<&mut str>`.][69661] - [`IoSlice` now implements `Copy`.][69403] - [`Vec<T>` now implements `From<[T; N]>`.][68692] Where `N` is less than 32. - [`proc_macro::LexError` now implements `fmt::Display` and `Error`.][68899] - [`from_le_bytes`, `to_le_bytes`, `from_be_bytes`, `to_be_bytes`, `from_ne_bytes`, and `to_ne_bytes` methods are now `const` for all integer types.][69373] Stabilized APIs --------------- - [`PathBuf::with_capacity`] - [`PathBuf::capacity`] - [`PathBuf::clear`] - [`PathBuf::reserve`] - [`PathBuf::reserve_exact`] - [`PathBuf::shrink_to_fit`] - [`f32::to_int_unchecked`] - [`f64::to_int_unchecked`] - [`Layout::align_to`] - [`Layout::pad_to_align`] - [`Layout::array`] - [`Layout::extend`] Cargo ----- - [Added the `cargo tree` command which will print a tree graph of your dependencies.][cargo/8062] E.g. ``` mdbook v0.3.2 (/Users/src/rust/mdbook) +-- ammonia v3.0.0 | +-- html5ever v0.24.0 | | +-- log v0.4.8 | | | +-- cfg-if v0.1.9 | | +-- mac v0.1.1 | | +-- markup5ever v0.9.0 | | +-- log v0.4.8 (*) | | +-- phf v0.7.24 | | | +-- phf_shared v0.7.24 | | | +-- siphasher v0.2.3 | | | +-- unicase v1.4.2 | | | [build-dependencies] | | | +-- version_check v0.1.5 ... ``` You can also display dependencies on multiple versions of the same crate with `cargo tree -d` (short for `cargo tree --duplicates`). Misc ---- - [Rustdoc now allows you to specify `--crate-version` to have rustdoc include the version in the sidebar.][69494] Compatibility Notes ------------------- - [Rustc now correctly generates static libraries on Windows GNU targets with the `.a` extension, rather than the previous `.lib`.][70937] - [Removed the `-C no_integrated_as` flag from rustc.][70345] - [The `file_name` property in JSON output of macro errors now points the actual source file rather than the previous format of `<NAME macros>`.][70969] **Note:** this may not point a file that actually exists on the user's system. - [The minimum required external LLVM version has been bumped to LLVM 8.][71147] - [`mem::{zeroed, uninitialised}` will now panic when used with types that do not allow zero initialization such as `NonZeroU8`.][66059] This was previously a warning. - [In 1.45.0 (the next release) converting a `f64` to `u32` using the `as` operator has been defined as a saturating operation.][71269] This was previously undefined behaviour, you can use the `{f64, f32}::to_int_unchecked` methods to continue using the current behaviour which may desirable in rare performance sensitive situations. Internal Only ------------- These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and related tools. - [dep_graph Avoid allocating a set on when the number reads are small.][69778] - [Replace big JS dict with JSON parsing.][71250] [69373]: rust-lang/rust#69373 [66059]: rust-lang/rust#66059 [68191]: rust-lang/rust#68191 [68899]: rust-lang/rust#68899 [71147]: rust-lang/rust#71147 [71250]: rust-lang/rust#71250 [70937]: rust-lang/rust#70937 [70969]: rust-lang/rust#70969 [70632]: rust-lang/rust#70632 [70281]: rust-lang/rust#70281 [70345]: rust-lang/rust#70345 [70048]: rust-lang/rust#70048 [70081]: rust-lang/rust#70081 [70156]: rust-lang/rust#70156 [71269]: rust-lang/rust#71269 [69838]: rust-lang/rust#69838 [69929]: rust-lang/rust#69929 [69661]: rust-lang/rust#69661 [69778]: rust-lang/rust#69778 [69494]: rust-lang/rust#69494 [69403]: rust-lang/rust#69403 [69033]: rust-lang/rust#69033 [68692]: rust-lang/rust#68692 [68334]: rust-lang/rust#68334 [67502]: rust-lang/rust#67502 [cargo/8062]: rust-lang/cargo#8062 [`PathBuf::with_capacity`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.PathBuf.html#method.with_capacity [`PathBuf::capacity`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.PathBuf.html#method.capacity [`PathBuf::clear`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.PathBuf.html#method.clear [`PathBuf::reserve`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.PathBuf.html#method.reserve [`PathBuf::reserve_exact`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.PathBuf.html#method.reserve_exact [`PathBuf::shrink_to_fit`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.PathBuf.html#method.shrink_to_fit [`f32::to_int_unchecked`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.f32.html#method.to_int_unchecked [`f64::to_int_unchecked`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.f64.html#method.to_int_unchecked [`Layout::align_to`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/struct.Layout.html#method.align_to [`Layout::pad_to_align`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/struct.Layout.html#method.pad_to_align [`Layout::array`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/struct.Layout.html#method.array [`Layout::extend`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/struct.Layout.html#method.extend
This PR implements (the as of yet unapproved) major change proposal at rust-lang/compiler-team#245. See the description there for background and rationale.
The changes are pretty straightforward and should be easy to rebase if the proposal gets accepted at some point.
