# Copy this file to `config.toml` to speed up your builds. # # # Faster linker # # One of the slowest aspects of compiling large Rust programs is the linking time. This file configures an # alternate linker that may improve build times. When choosing a new linker, you have two options: # # ## LLD # # LLD is a linker from the LLVM project that supports Linux, Windows, MacOS, and WASM. It has the greatest # platform support and the easiest installation process. It is enabled by default in this file for Linux # and Windows. On MacOS, the default linker yields higher performance than LLD and is used instead. # # To install, please scroll to the corresponding table for your target (eg. `[target.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]` # for Windows) and follow the steps under `LLD linker`. # # For more information, please see LLD's website at . # # ## Mold # # Mold is a newer linker written by one of the authors of LLD. It boasts even greater performance, specifically # through its high parallelism, though it only supports Linux. # # Mold is disabled by default in this file. If you wish to enable it, follow the installation instructions for # your corresponding target, disable LLD by commenting out its `-Clink-arg=...` line, and enable Mold by # *uncommenting* its `-Clink-arg=...` line. # # There is a fork of Mold named Sold that supports MacOS, but it is unmaintained and is about the same speed as # the default ld64 linker. For this reason, it is not included in this file. # # For more information, please see Mold's repository at . # # # Nightly configuration # # Be warned that the following features require nightly Rust, which is expiremental and may contain bugs. If you # are having issues, skip this section and use stable Rust instead. # # There are a few unstable features that can improve performance. To use them, first install nightly Rust # through Rustup: # # ``` # rustup toolchain install nightly # ``` # # Finally, uncomment the lines under the `Nightly` heading for your corresponding target table (eg. # `[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]` for Linux) to enable the following features: # # ## `share-generics` # # Usually rustc builds each crate separately, then combines them all together at the end. `share-generics` forces # crates to share monomorphized generic code, so they do not duplicate work. # # In other words, instead of crate 1 generating `Foo` and crate 2 generating `Foo` separately, # only one crate generates `Foo` and the other adds on to the pre-exiting work. # # Note that you may have some issues with this flag on Windows. If compiling fails due to the 65k symbol limit, # you may have to disable this setting. For more information and possible solutions to this error, see # . # # ## `threads` # # This option enables rustc's parallel frontend, which improves performance when parsing, type checking, borrow # checking, and more. We currently set `threads=0`, which defaults to the amount of cores in your CPU. # # For more information, see the blog post at .
