Right now, only library targets provide metadata-related output groups. This makes sense for compilation purposes, but building the metadata is also useful for other things; namely, building only the metadata is the fastest way to get diagnostic information for your workspace like
cargo check
does.This PR adds a new setting,
always_enable_metadata_output_groups
, that enables both thebuild_metadata
andrustc_rmeta_output
output groups for non-library targets (such as binaries and tests). That means that the presence of metadata inCrateInfo
can no longer be used to determine pipelind compilation support, so a new attribute,metadata_supports_pipelining
, is added for that purpose.As an example of the performance increase, compare a
bazel build
on a binary w/o--output_groups=rustc_rmeta_output
:to with it:
