This is a WORK IN PROGRESS!

Currently, [[bin]]s do the Right Thing (I think) and maybe [lib] too but I haven't tested. Mostly posting this to acquire some early feedback. cc @alexcrichton

Fix #4900

Sort of fix #4881 (it seems like maybe cfg'ing the [lib] is good enough that we don't need to be able to cfg the individual crate-types?)

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @matklad (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. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed.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 the contribution instructions for more information.

I feed a bit uneasy about cfging the libraries specifically... Looks like registry and crates.io might want to about "platform-specific libraries" somehow?

My goal is for cargo test and cargo bench to work with crates primarily targeting WebAssembly without needing to change any source, so long as those tests and benches don't rely on wasm imports or anything like that. Right now, to get this behavior, you have to manually split your crate into a core library crate and a wasm API crate, and I find this to be an unnecessary paper cut.

Yeah, I think cfg would be fine for tests and benches, it's only the lib which makes me feel uneasy... OTOH, supporting cfg only on some crate types seems arbitrary...

Thanks so much @fitzgen, this is looking pretty good! I definitely feel like this is on the right track. I think that this is also highly related to #5335 (as a heads up).

@matklad I don't think this'll affect the index/crates.io b/c there's nothing that affects dependency resolution but rather just how crates are compiled, right?

Hm, probably. I was thinking that maybe this should affect dependency resolution, so that you get error "crate foo is unsupported for $host_triple" earlier, during lockfile generation, but looks like this is not possible because you know $host_triple only when you are actually compiling. I think this clears my doubts, so removing the nomination.

Looking good! Could some tests also be added exhibiting "layering" configuration where a unit test or something like that is configured in multiple [[test]] blocks (some platform-specific).

Additionally could a test be added to ensure that you can't define more than one [lib] target?

Apologies if this should be brought up in another issue, but I'm curious if this PR would this allow you to do something like this?

# Cargo.toml
[lib]
[target.'cfg(target_os = "ios")']
crate-type = ["staticlib"]
[target.'cfg(target_os = "android")']
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

I'm trying to make a "universal" lib crate that has feature gates for two platform specific sub-crates. For example:

[workspace]
members = ["Source/Rust/generic", "Source/Rust/apple", "Source/Rust/java"]

[package]
name = "example-universal"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Chris Ballinger <[email protected]>"]

[lib]
name = "example"
path = "Source/Rust/universal/lib.rs"
crate-type = ["staticlib", "cdylib"]

[features]
apple = ["example-apple"]
java = ["example-java"]

[profile.release]
debug = true

[dependencies]
example-generic = { path = "Source/Rust/generic" }
example-apple = { path = "Source/Rust/apple", optional = true }
example-java = { path = "Source/Rust/java", optional = true }
[package]
name = "example-generic"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Chris Ballinger <[email protected]>"]

[lib]
name = "example_generic"

[dependencies]
libc = "0.2"
[package]
name = "example-apple"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Chris Ballinger <[email protected]>"]

[lib]
name = "example_apple"
crate-type = ["staticlib"]

[dependencies]
dispatch = "0.1"
objc-foundation = "0.1"
example-generic = { path = "../generic" }
[package]
name = "example-java"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Chris Ballinger <[email protected]>"]

[lib]
name = "example_java"
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

[dependencies]
jni = "0.10"
example-generic = { path = "../generic" }

The issue here is that in my "universal" parent crate, cdylib isn't a valid crate-type for ios, and staticlib isn't valid for android. When compiling for iOS with cargo-lipo, cargo gives warnings about unsupported cdylib:

fitzgen commented May 2, 2018

Enforcing only a single [lib] is tricky...

  • We need a BuildContext in order to determine wether any given cfg(...) is activated or not

  • But we don't have one of those until much later, after we have collected all the targets, eg in compile_ws

  • So I figured I could do the checking in compile_ws

  • However, by this time we've lost the information about which crate a given [lib] is for, so enforcing a single [lib] gets tripped up by the fact that there are different [lib]s from different crates

  • So I tried to add a PackageId member to TargetKind::Lib, so that we can always determine what crate a [lib] is originally from

  • But everywhere we call Target::lib_target, which constructs TargetKind::Lib, we don't have a package yet, and therefore don't have a PackageId

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to move forward?

Ok, so in the latest commit I am ensuring that there is only one [lib] target per (PackageId, Profile) pair. This passes all the cfg(..) tests I've written, but fails on a couple of the existing tests, particularly ones involving --all-targets.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is where the unique [lib] checking happens, fwiw.

Hm, if I understand correctly, you don't have to add pkgid to TargetKind, because you can use unit.pkg.package_id()?

I feel uneasy about the fact that you specify different names depending on the platform.... Should we make this case an error perhaps?

As mentioned below, if they both activate, then it will be an error. No merging is done.

The updates are looking pretty good with @matklad's thoughts as well, but it may be good to discuss the overall interface we'd like here as well.

I believe we don't want this to enable multiple [lib] targets for a crate, so we definitely want to restrict it to still "one at a time". How do we want this to all interact though?

For example let's take something like:

[target.foo.lib]
name = 'bar'

This already implies there may be two targets in the manifest. If src/lib.rs exists then there's one that we can auto-infer but there's also one explicitly specified. Does this mean that there's two? Does Cargo avoid auto-inferring the first one? Can we configure Cargo's auto-inference behavior? (this may just mean we want something like autolib = true in the manifest like we have autobins = false today, added recently).

The next question would be how do these targets interact? For example if don't automatically infer a target then it means the library is not workable by default on non-foo platforms (as no [lib] exists). To fix this you'd need to do [target.cfg(not(foo)).lib]. If we do automatically infer [lib] then this wouldn't work by default, right? (as there would be two [lib] targets by default).

Or do we want a sort of "merging" of targets? For example what about:

[target.'cfg(target_arch = "wasm32")'.lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

Does this "merge" with the main [lib] profile when activated? Or add a new profile which is separately configure? (if merge then we also need to figure out what it means to merge!)

I feel like merging is probably what one might expect, but it's something we'll want to think through as well as consider what it means for other targets as well? (can you "merge" two test targets?)

Perhaps we can just say that any targets with the same name, inferred or explicitly specified, get merged (and we specify how they're merged). I think that'd probably cover the issues here?

fitzgen commented May 3, 2018

I was assuming that we would not do merging, and that if we ever ended up in a situation where two [lib]s were activated at the same time, then we would bail out and report an error.

@alexcrichton
Copy link
Member

@fitzgen hm so if we don't do any merging, how's this supposed to be used? That means if I have something like:

[lib]
test = false

[target.'cfg(target_arch = "wasm32")'.lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
test = false

that won't work on wasm, right? (because on wasm there's two lib targets)

@fitzgen
Copy link
Member Author

fitzgen commented May 4, 2018

In that case the check for a unique lib would trigger and there would be an error. You would have to have a cfg for wasm and a cfg for not wasm.

I agree that this isn't super ergonomic, but it seems that we can always loosen the restrictions and start merging later. I just want to get the minimum thing working for now.

Ok that makes sense yeah, I agree that this is the conservative route and we can always soup it up later!

That reminds me though, can you be sure this functionality is behind a Cargo feature?

Like a normal feature in Cargo.toml? Are you intending for this to be available only to folks who build their own cargo? Is there someway we can automatically make it nightly-only?

@fitzgen oh there's a src/cargo/core/features.rs which allows defining nightly features for Cargo (not a cargo feature for Cargo), it just requires that you have a nightly Cargo and write down in the manifest that you're using a nightly feature (similar as for nightly features in rustc)

The original motivation behind this PR was to allow #[test]s and #[bench]es to live in the same crate as a crate that was targeting wasm. Somehow, this seems possible now, and without all the cfg(...)ing that this PR requires.
