alexcrichton opened PR #4293 from namespace-features
to main
:
Cargo recently added the ability to have an optional dependency without
implicitly introducing a new named feature on a crate. This is triggered
with some new directives in the[features]
section, specifically:
The
dep:foo
syntax means thatfoo
is activated but no implicit
feature should be added namedfoo
.Additionally
foo?/bar
means that thebar
feature offoo
is only
activated iffoo
is otherwise activated elsewhere, for example a
conditional activation.These two features can help avoid extra feature names showing up that we
don't want (e.g. currently thewasmtime
crate has arayon
feature)
and additionally can help avoid runtime dependencies in niche cases for
us (e.g. activatingall-arch
but disablingcranelift
would
previously pull-in cranelift but no longer will).<!--
