How to pass rustc flags to cargo?

2020-02-26 08:15发布

I am trying to disable dead code warnings. I tried the following

cargo build -- -A dead_code

➜ rla git:(master) ✗ cargo build -- -A dead_code error: Invalid arguments.

So I am wondering how would I pass rustc arguments to cargo?

You can pass flags through Cargo by several different means:

cargo rustc, which only affects your crate and not its dependencies.
The RUSTFLAGS environment variable, which affects dependencies as well.
Some flags have a proper Cargo option, e.g., -C lto and -C panic=abort can be specified in the Cargo.toml file.
Add flags in .cargo/config using one of the rustflags= keys.

However, in your specific case of configuring lints, you don't need to use compiler flags; you can also enable and disable lints directly in the source code using attributes. This may in fact be a better option as it's more robust, more targeted, and doesn't require you to alter your build system setup:

#![deny(some_lint)] // deny lint in this module and its children

#[allow(another_lint)] // allow lint in this function
fn foo() {
    ...
}
