Interface between your plugin and the rustc_plugin framework.

Required Associated Types

type Args: Serialize + DeserializeOwned

Command-line arguments passed by the user.

Required Methods

fn version(&self) -> Cow<'static, str>

Returns the version of your plugin.

A sensible default is your plugin’s Cargo version:

env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION").into()

fn driver_name(&self) -> Cow<'static, str>

Returns the name of your driver binary as it’s installed in the filesystem.

Should be just the filename, not the full path.

fn args(&self, target_dir: &Utf8Path) -> RustcPluginArgs<Self::Args>

Parses and returns the CLI arguments for the plugin.

fn run(self, compiler_args: Vec<String>, plugin_args: Self::Args) -> Result<()>

Executes the plugin with a set of compiler and plugin args.

Provided Methods

fn modify_cargo(&self, _cargo: &mut Command, _args: &Self::Args)

Optionally modify the cargo command that launches rustc. For example, you could pass a --feature flag here.
