Tracking issue for cache-messages #6986

Closed

Description

@ehuss

Implementation PR: #6933
Documentation: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#cache-messages

Summary
Caches the output from rustc so that future runs can redisplay previous warnings.

cargo +nightly check -Z cache-messages

This also fixes some interleaved output from parallel compilers, like #6848.

Unresolved issues

  • short messages are not supported. Either the rustc JSON output needs to include an additional field with the short rendered form, or cargo and rustc need to share a diagnostics rendering library and the JSON format extended to support that.
  • rustdoc does not support --json-rendered=termcolor, so its output is currently uncolored.
  • --json-rendered needs to be stabilized (or redesigned, see first point).
  • A major goal of properly redisplaying clippy warnings is not yet finished. Clippy shares the same fingerprint with cargo check. The fingerprint or metadata hash needs to include that clippy is in use to fix this. Also, the clippy wrapper needs to only be applied to member crates, not registry dependencies.
