jobslot

An implementation of the GNU make jobserver for Rust

Documentation

Advantages over jobserver?

• jobslot contains bug fix for Client::configure is unsafe
• jobslot removed use of signal handling in the helper thread on unix
• jobslot uses windows-sys on windows instead of manually declaring bindings (some of the bindings seem to be wrong)
• jobslot uses getrandom on windows instead of making homebrew one using raw windows api
• jobslot::Client::from_env can be called any number of times on Windows and Unix.

Usage

First, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
jobslot = "0.2"

Use of this crate in rustc

This crate uses getrandom v0.2.7 on windows. If you want to use this crate in rustc, make sure to bump getrandom to v0.2 to avoid pulling in different major versions of the same crate.
