features.rs

//! Support for nightly features in Cargo itself.
//!
//! This file is the version of `feature_gate.rs` in upstream Rust for Cargo
//! itself and is intended to be the avenue for which new features in Cargo are
//! gated by default and then eventually stabilized. All known stable and
//! unstable features are tracked in this file.
//!
//! If you're reading this then you're likely interested in adding a feature to
//! Cargo, and the good news is that it shouldn't be too hard! First determine
//! how the feature should be gated:
//!
//! * Error when the feature is used without the gate
//!   * Required if ignoring the feature violates the users intent in non-superficial ways
//!   * A low-effort / safe way to protect the user from being broken if the format of the feature changes in
//!     incompatible was (can be worked around)
//!   * Good for: CLI (gate: `-Zunstable-options` or `-Z` if combined with other changes), `Cargo.toml` (gate: `cargo-features`)
//! * Warn that the feature is ignored due to lack of the gate
//!   * For if you could opt-in to the unimplemented feature on Cargo today and Cargo would
//!     operate just fine
//!   * If gate is not enabled, prefer to warn if the format of the feature is incompatible
//!     (instead of error or ignore)
//!   * Good for: `Cargo.toml`, `.cargo/config.toml`, `config.json` index file (gate: `-Z`)
//! * Ignore the feature that is used without a gate
//!   * For when ignoring the feature has so little impact that annoying the user is not worth it
//!     (e.g. a config field that changes Cargo's terminal output)
//!   * For behavior changes without an interface (e.g. the resolver)
//!   * Good for: `.cargo/config.toml`, `config.json` index file (gate: `-Z`)
//!
//! For features that touch multiple parts of Cargo, multiple feature gating strategies (error,
//! warn, ignore) and mechanisms (`-Z`, `cargo-features`) may be used.
//!
//! When adding new tests for your feature, usually the tests should go into a
//! new module of the testsuite named after the feature. See
//! <https://doc.crates.io/contrib/tests/writing.html> for more information on
//! writing tests. Particularly, check out the "Testing Nightly Features"
//! section for testing unstable features. Be sure to test the feature gate itself.
//!
//! After you have added your feature, be sure to update the unstable
//! documentation at `src/doc/src/reference/unstable.md` to include a short
//! description of how to use your new feature.
//!
//! And hopefully that's it!
//!
//! ## `cargo-features`
//!
//! The steps for adding new Cargo.toml syntax are:
//!
//! 1. Add the cargo-features unstable gate. Search the code below for "look here" to
//!    find the [`features!`] macro invocation and add your feature to the list.
//!
//! 2. Update the Cargo.toml parsing code to handle your new feature.
//!
//! 3. Wherever you added the new parsing code, call
//!    `features.require(Feature::my_feature_name())?` if the new syntax is
//!    used. This will return an error if the user hasn't listed the feature
//!    in `cargo-features` or this is not the nightly channel.
//!
//! ## `-Z unstable-options`
//!
//! `-Z unstable-options` is intended to force the user to opt-in to new CLI
//! flags, options, and new subcommands.
//!
//! The steps to add a new command-line option are:
//!
//! 1. Add the option to the CLI parsing code. In the help text, be sure to
//!    include `(unstable)` to note that this is an unstable option.
//! 2. Where the CLI option is loaded, be sure to call
//!    [`CliUnstable::fail_if_stable_opt`]. This will return an error if `-Z
//!    unstable options` was not passed.
//!
//! ## `-Z` options
//!
//! New `-Z` options cover all other functionality that isn't covered with
//! `cargo-features` or `-Z unstable-options`.
//!
//! The steps to add a new `-Z` option are:
//!
//! 1. Add the option to the [`CliUnstable`] struct in the macro invocation of
//!    [`unstable_cli_options!`]. Flags can take an optional value if you want.
//! 2. Update the [`CliUnstable::add`] function to parse the flag.
//! 3. Wherever the new functionality is implemented, call
//!    [`GlobalContext::cli_unstable`] to get an instance of [`CliUnstable`]
//!    and check if the option has been enabled on the [`CliUnstable`] instance.
//!    Nightly gating is already handled, so no need to worry about that.
//!    If warning when feature is used without the gate, be sure to gracefully degrade (with a
//!    warning) when the `Cargo.toml` / `.cargo/config.toml` field usage doesn't match the
//!    schema.
//! 4. For any `Cargo.toml` fields, strip them in [`prepare_for_publish`] if the gate isn't set
//!
//! ## Stabilization
//!
//! For the stabilization process, see
//! <https://doc.crates.io/contrib/process/unstable.html#stabilization>.
//!
//! The steps for stabilizing are roughly:
//!
//! 1. Update the feature to be stable, based on the kind of feature:
//!   1. `cargo-features`: Change the feature to `stable` in the [`features!`]
//!      macro invocation below, and include the version and a URL for the
//!      documentation.
//!   2. `-Z unstable-options`: Find the call to [`fail_if_stable_opt`] and
//!      remove it. Be sure to update the man pages if necessary.
//!   3. `-Z` flag: Change the parsing code in [`CliUnstable::add`] to call
//!      `stabilized_warn` or `stabilized_err` and remove the field from
//!      [`CliUnstable`]. Remove the `(unstable)` note in the clap help text if
//!      necessary.
//! 2. Remove `masquerade_as_nightly_cargo` from any tests, and remove
//!    `cargo-features` from `Cargo.toml` test files if any. You can
//!     quickly find what needs to be removed by searching for the name
//!     of the feature, e.g. `print_im_a_teapot`
//! 3. Update the docs in unstable.md to move the section to the bottom
//!    and summarize it similar to the other entries. Update the rest of the
//!    documentation to add the new feature.
