`cargo rustc -- <args>` first builds dependencies then calls `rustc <args>` for the current package. Here, we don't want to build dependencies, we just want to call `rustc --print`. An unstable `cargo rustc` `--print` command bypasses building dependencies first. This speeds up execution of this code path and ensures RA doesn't recompile dependencies with the `RUSTC_BOOTSRAP=1` env var flag set.
Note that we must pass `-Z unstable-options` twice, first to enable the `cargo` unstable `--print` flag, then later to enable the unstable `rustc` `target-spec-json` print request.
Some packages (e.g. thiserror) force a recompile if the value of the `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP` env var changes. RA sets the variable to 1 in order to enable rustc / cargo unstable options it uses. This causes flapping recompiles when building outside of RA.
As of Cargo 1.75 the `--keep-going` flag is stable. This change uses the flag without `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP` if the Cargo version is >= 1.75, and drops `--keep-going` otherwise. This fixes build script recompilation.
fix: Fix build scripts not being rebuilt in some occasions
Also makes proc-macro changed flag setting async, we don't wanna block `process_changes` on the database as that is on the main thread!
This commit also adds `tracing` to NotificationDispatcher/RequestDispatcher,
bumps `rust-analyzer-salsa` to 0.17.0-pre.6, `always-assert` to 0.2, and
removes the homegrown `hprof` implementation in favor of a vendored
tracing-span-tree.
Somehow r-a believed that my sysroot was something weird with no rustc.
Probably a me issue, but it was impossible to diagnose since r-a just
gave me a plain "No such file or directory". Adding this error makes it
clear what happened and allows diagnosing the problem.
fix: Update metavariable expression implementation
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/issues/16154
This duplicates behavior of that before and after PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117050 based on the toolchain version. There are some 1.76 nightlies that are still broken (any before that PR basically) but fetching and storing the commit makes little sense to me (opposed to the toolchain version).
Make data reflect a case where dev deps are existent.
base-db::CrateGraph::extend now adds dev dependencies for a crate
in case of its upgrading from a CrateOrigin::Lib kind of a crate to a
CrateOrigin::Local one.
Partially fixes#15656 . When a crate graph is extended which is the case when new workspaces are added to the project
the rules for deduplication were too strict. One problem that arises from this is that in certain conditions
when we see the same crate having different `CrateOrigin`s the first form would be maintained. This approach however
results in some unwanted results such as making renaming forbidden as this has been recently only made available for
local crates. The given example in #15656 can still not be resolved with this PR as that involves taking inconsistencies
between dependencies into consideration. This will be addressed in a future PR.
Add dedicated field for `target_dir` in the configurations for Cargo
and Flycheck. Also change the directory to be a `PathBuf` as opposed to
a `String` to be more appropriate to the operating system.
project-model: when using `rust-project.json`, prefer the sysroot-defined rustc over discovery in `$PATH`
At the moment, rust-analyzer discovers `rustc` via the `$PATH` even if the `sysroot` field is defined in a `rust-project.json`. However, this does not work for users who do not have rustup installed, resulting in any `cfg`-based inference in rust-analzyer not working correctly. In my (decently naive!) opinion, it makes more sense to rely on the `sysroot` field in the `rust-project.json`.
One might ask "why not add `rustc` to the `$PATH`?" That is a reasonable question, but that doesn't work for my use case:
- The path to the sysroot in my employer's monorepo changes depending on which platform a user is on. For example, if they're on Linux, they'd want to use the sysroot defined at path `a`, whereas if they're on macOS, they'd want to use the sysroot at path `b` (I wrote the sysroot resolution functionality [here](765da4ca1e/integrations/rust-project/src/sysroot.rs (L39)), if you're curious).
- The location of the sysroot can (and does!) change, especially as people figure out how to make Rust run successfully on non-Linux platforms (e.g., iOS, Android, etc.) in a monorepo. Updating people's `$PATH` company-wide is hard while updating a config inside a CLI is pretty easy.
## Testing
I've created a `rust-project.json` using [rust-project](https://github.com/facebook/buck2/tree/main/integrations/rust-project) and was able to successfully load a project with and without the `sysroot`/`sysroot_src` fields—without those fields, rust-analyzer fell back to the `$PATH` based approach, as evidenced by `[DEBUG project_model::rustc_cfg] using rustc from env rustc="rustc"` showing up in the logs.
