rustc

The Rust compiler. Rust projects usually use cargo instead of invoking rustc directly. More information: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc.
  • Compile a binary crate:
    rustc {{path/to/main.rs}}
  • Compile with optimizations (s means optimize for binary size; z is the same with even more optimizations):
    rustc -C lto -C opt-level={{0|1|2|3|s|z}} {{path/to/main.rs}}
  • Compile with debugging information:
    rustc -g {{path/to/main.rs}}
  • Explain an error message:
    rustc --explain {{error_code}}
  • Compile with architecture-specific optimizations for the current CPU:
    rustc -C target-cpu={{native}} {{path/to/main.rs}}
  • Display the target list (Note: you have to add a target using rustup first to be able to compile for it):
    rustc --print target-list
  • Compile for a specific target:
    rustc --target {{target_triple}} {{path/to/main.rs}}
