Module rustc_incremental::persist::file_format
source · [−]Expand description
This module defines a generic file format that allows to check if a given file generated by incremental compilation was generated by a compatible compiler version. This file format is used for the on-disk version of the dependency graph and the exported metadata hashes.
In practice “compatible compiler version” means “exactly the same compiler version”, since the header encodes the git commit hash of the compiler. Since we can always just ignore the incremental compilation cache and compiler versions don’t change frequently for the typical user, being conservative here practically has no downside.
Constants
The first few bytes of files generated by incremental compilation.
Change this if the header format changes.
A version string that hopefully is always different for compiler versions
with different encodings of incremental compilation artifacts. Contains
the Git commit hash.
Functions
Reads the contents of a file with a file header as defined in this module.
