Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] rust: add `rustcheck` make target for check-only builds
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 14:53:11 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250915115311.3025-2-work@onurozkan.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250915115311.3025-1-work@onurozkan.dev>
Adds a new `rustcheck` make target to run a check-only build
similar to `cargo check`. This allows us to verify that the Rust
sources can build without building/linking final artifacts,
which speeds up the iteration (a lot) during development.
The target also supports the CLIPPY flag (e.g., `make LLVM=1
rustcheck CLIPPY=1) to run Clippy in a faster way.
Also, unlike `make LLVM=1`, it doesn't compile large amounts of C
code (on a fresh checkout) when the goal is only to check that
Rust builds are not broken after some changes.
