cargo/workspace/
features.rs

1//! Support for nightly features in Cargo itself.
2//!
3//! This file is the version of `feature_gate.rs` in upstream Rust for Cargo
4//! itself and is intended to be the avenue for which new features in Cargo are
5//! gated by default and then eventually stabilized. All known stable and
6//! unstable features are tracked in this file.
7//!
8//! If you're reading this then you're likely interested in adding a feature to
9//! Cargo, and the good news is that it shouldn't be too hard! First determine
10//! how the feature should be gated:
11//!
12//! * Error when the feature is used without the gate
13//!   * Required if ignoring the feature violates the users intent in non-superficial ways
14//!   * A low-effort / safe way to protect the user from being broken if the format of the feature changes in
15//!     incompatible was (can be worked around)
16//!   * Good for: CLI (gate: `-Zunstable-options` or `-Z` if combined with other changes), `Cargo.toml` (gate: `cargo-features`)
17//! * Warn that the feature is ignored due to lack of the gate
18//!   * For if you could opt-in to the unimplemented feature on Cargo today and Cargo would
19//!     operate just fine
20//!   * If gate is not enabled, prefer to warn if the format of the feature is incompatible
21//!     (instead of error or ignore)
22//!   * Good for: `Cargo.toml`, `.cargo/config.toml`, `config.json` index file (gate: `-Z`)
23//! * Ignore the feature that is used without a gate
24//!   * For when ignoring the feature has so little impact that annoying the user is not worth it
25//!     (e.g. a config field that changes Cargo's terminal output)
26//!   * For behavior changes without an interface (e.g. the resolver)
27//!   * Good for: `.cargo/config.toml`, `config.json` index file (gate: `-Z`)
28//!
29//! For features that touch multiple parts of Cargo, multiple feature gating strategies (error,
30//! warn, ignore) and mechanisms (`-Z`, `cargo-features`) may be used.
31//!
32//! When adding new tests for your feature, usually the tests should go into a
33//! new module of the testsuite named after the feature. See
34//! <https://doc.crates.io/contrib/tests/writing.html> for more information on
35//! writing tests. Particularly, check out the "Testing Nightly Features"
36//! section for testing unstable features. Be sure to test the feature gate itself.
37//!
38//! After you have added your feature, be sure to update the unstable
39//! documentation at `doc/book/src/reference/unstable.md` to include a short
40//! description of how to use your new feature.
41//!
42//! And hopefully that's it!
43//!
44//! ## `cargo-features`
45//!
46//! The steps for adding new Cargo.toml syntax are:
47//!
48//! 1. Add the cargo-features unstable gate. Search the code below for "look here" to
49//!    find the [`features!`] macro invocation and add your feature to the list.
50//!
51//! 2. Update the Cargo.toml parsing code to handle your new feature.
52//!
53//! 3. Wherever you added the new parsing code, call
54//!    `features.require(Feature::my_feature_name())?` if the new syntax is
55//!    used. This will return an error if the user hasn't listed the feature
56//!    in `cargo-features` or this is not the nightly channel.
57//!
58//! ## `-Z unstable-options`
59//!
60//! `-Z unstable-options` is intended to force the user to opt-in to new CLI
61//! flags, options, and new subcommands.
62//!
63//! The steps to add a new command-line option are:
64//!
65//! 1. Add the option to the CLI parsing code. In the help text, be sure to
66//!    include `(unstable)` to note that this is an unstable option.
67//! 2. Where the CLI option is loaded, be sure to call
68//!    [`CliUnstable::fail_if_stable_opt`]. This will return an error if `-Z
69//!    unstable options` was not passed.
70//!
71//! ## `-Z` options
72//!
73//! New `-Z` options cover all other functionality that isn't covered with
74//! `cargo-features` or `-Z unstable-options`.
75//!
76//! The steps to add a new `-Z` option are:
77//!
78//! 1. Add the option to the [`CliUnstable`] struct in the macro invocation of
79//!    [`unstable_cli_options!`]. Flags can take an optional value if you want.
80//! 2. Update the [`CliUnstable::add`] function to parse the flag.
81//! 3. Wherever the new functionality is implemented, call
82//!    [`GlobalContext::cli_unstable`] to get an instance of [`CliUnstable`]
83//!    and check if the option has been enabled on the [`CliUnstable`] instance.
84//!    Nightly gating is already handled, so no need to worry about that.
85//!    If warning when feature is used without the gate, be sure to gracefully degrade (with a
86//!    warning) when the `Cargo.toml` / `.cargo/config.toml` field usage doesn't match the
87//!    schema.
88//! 4. For any `Cargo.toml` fields, strip them in [`prepare_for_publish`] if the gate isn't set
89//!
90//! ## Stabilization
91//!
92//! For the stabilization process, see
93//! <https://doc.crates.io/contrib/process/unstable.html#stabilization>.
94//!
95//! The steps for stabilizing are roughly:
96//!
97//! 1. Update the feature to be stable, based on the kind of feature:
98//!   1. `cargo-features`: Change the feature to `stable` in the [`features!`]
99//!      macro invocation below, and include the version and a URL for the
100//!      documentation.
101//!   2. `-Z unstable-options`: Find the call to [`fail_if_stable_opt`] and
102//!      remove it. Be sure to update the man pages if necessary.
103//!   3. `-Z` flag: Change the parsing code in [`CliUnstable::add`] to call
104//!      `stabilized_warn` or `stabilized_err` and remove the field from
105//!      [`CliUnstable`]. Remove the `(unstable)` note in the clap help text if
106//!      necessary.
107//! 2. Remove `masquerade_as_nightly_cargo` from any tests, and remove
108//!    `cargo-features` from `Cargo.toml` test files if any. You can
109//!     quickly find what needs to be removed by searching for the name
110//!     of the feature, e.g. `print_im_a_teapot`
111//! 3. Update the docs in unstable.md to move the section to the bottom
112//!    and summarize it similar to the other entries. Update the rest of the
113//!    documentation to add the new feature.

145/// The following sections will guide you how to add and stabilize an edition.
146///
147/// ## Adding a new edition
148///
149/// - Add the next edition to the enum.
150/// - Update every match expression that now fails to compile.
151/// - Update the [`FromStr`] impl.
152/// - Update [`CLI_VALUES`] to include the new edition.
153/// - Set [`LATEST_UNSTABLE`] to Some with the new edition.
154/// - Update the shell completion files.
155/// - Update any failing tests (hopefully there are very few).
156///
157/// ## Stabilization instructions
158///
159/// - Set [`LATEST_UNSTABLE`] to None.
160/// - Set [`LATEST_STABLE`] to the new version.
161/// - Update [`is_stable`] to `true`.
162/// - Set [`first_version`] to the version it will be released.
163/// - Update any tests that are affected.
164/// - Update the man page for the `--edition` flag.
165/// - Update the documentation:
166///   - Update any features impacted by the edition.
167///   - Update manifest.md#the-edition-field.
168///   - Update the `--edition` flag (options-new.md).
169///   - Rebuild man pages.
