rustc
The Rust compiler. Rust projects usually usecargoinstead of invokingrustcdirectly. More information: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc.
- 
Compile a binary crate:
 rustc {{path/to/main.rs}}
- 
Compile with optimizations (smeans optimize for binary size;zis 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 rustupfirst to be able to compile for it):
 rustc --print target-list
- 
Compile for a specific target:
 rustc --target {{target_triple}} {{path/to/main.rs}}
