Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @ehuss (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

Thanks! I believe -Z flags only work on nightly, right? So this will likely need a corresponding -Z flag in cargo. Those flags are defined in the CliUnstable struct. That module contains all the documentation for how to add it. Additionally -Z help is in cli.rs and finally the docs are in unstable.md.

Also, assuming this flag should be passed to all invocations, I think it would probably go somewhere like add_error_format_and_color. That will get passed to both rustc and rustdoc (it looks like it should be supported in rustdoc?).

This will also need a small test.

This probably won't work well on Windows as-is, because we don't have a good way to detect the window size on mintty/cygwin-style terminals, and it is hard-coded to 60. We may need to special-case the value there with a different hard-coded version, since I would assume 60-column errors will look very poor.

I'd also actually expect that rustc itself would determine the terminal width. One thing we realized with Cargo is that terminal widths can change over time, and especially because rustc can take awhile it may change from rustc process start to when an error is actually emitted. In that sense it may be best if Cargo/rustc just share the same code for calculating the terminal width?

I'd also actually expect that rustc itself would determine the terminal width.

@alexcrichton I would prefer that too, but it seems to me that the way that cargo invokes rustc makes it so that rustc no longer can query the terminal width.

One thing we realized with Cargo is that terminal widths can change over time, and especially because rustc can take awhile it may change from rustc process start to when an error is actually emitted. In that sense it may be best if Cargo/rustc just share the same code for calculating the terminal width?

That makes sense to me, but keep in mind that cargo is more likely to hit bad graphical glitches due to the live progress bar. We're also not redrawing the buffer during reflows in rustc. Handling this sounds to me like a good idea, but I would rather land this as quickly as possible to start getting real world feedback before landing it on stable.

@ehuss makes sense. I'll keep looking. I'd be ok with this not being stabilized in the next cargo, but once it is I would like to have it be opt-out, not opt-in.

This probably won't work well on Windows as-is, because we don't have a good way to detect the window size on mintty/cygwin-style terminals, and it is hard-coded to 60.

Would it be ok to change the function to return Option and do unwrap_or(60) where needed and not pass the flag for this when it's None?

alexcrichton · 2019-09-03T16:48:21Z

Oh right yeah, we don't actually give rustc the terminal! In that case this seems fine to experiment with.

It seems a bit unfortunate to unconditionally disable on Windows. Perhaps imp::stderr_width() could return an enum with the three states (notty, known, unknown?)? Then maybe it could have a method to convert it to Option<usize> and take care of converting unknown to 60.

Is there a reason this isn't included in the pipeline path? Does it not affect the rendered field? We plan on moving all interaction through the json path, so this may not work this way.

I believe the rustc side ignores this codepath for the rendered field in json output, which is unfortunate for the integration here. We'll likely need some back and forth with the other repo to get both to be in the same page about this.

I noticed this changed it to unconditionally enable it on nightly. We haven't really done that before, but I don't really have an objection to it. We have problems with figuring out how to get people to test unstable flags, so unconditionally enabling it on nightly might be a good idea, since it is just a visual change. I'd like to hear from other cargo members, though.

Sorry for the late repsponse, but I think I'd prefer if this still needed to be opted-in to if that's ok, because otherwise if -Zterminal-width changes it'd break all nightly users by default until we can ship a fix

Fair enough.

Ping @estebank, is it correct that this is blocked on adding terminal-width support to the JSON rendered field? Let me know if you have any questions or need any help.

estebank · 2019-10-28T21:04:48Z

@ehuss I think that might be the case, I'll try to take some time this weekend to get this fixed on both ends.

Pkgsrc changes: * Remove patch which no longer applies (but what about RPATH?) * Adapt a few patches to changed files upstream. Upstream changes: Version 1.39.0 (2019-11-07) =========================== Language -------- - [You can now create `async` functions and blocks with `async fn`, `async move {}`, and `async {}` respectively, and you can now call `.await` on async expressions.][63209] - [You can now use certain attributes on function, closure, and function pointer parameters.][64010] These attributes include `cfg`, `cfg_attr`, `allow`, `warn`, `deny`, `forbid` as well as inert helper attributes used by procedural macro attributes applied to items. e.g. ```rust fn len( #[cfg(windows)] slice: &[u16], #[cfg(not(windows))] slice: &[u8], ) -> usize { slice.len() } ``` - [You can now take shared references to bind-by-move patterns in the `if` guards of `match` arms.][63118] e.g. ```rust fn main() { let array: Box<[u8; 4]> = Box::new([1, 2, 3, 4]); match array { nums // ---- `nums` is bound by move. if nums.iter().sum::<u8>() == 10 // ^------ `.iter()` implicitly takes a reference to `nums`. => { drop(nums); // ----------- Legal as `nums` was bound by move and so we have ownership. } _ => unreachable!(), } } ``` Compiler -------- - [Added tier 3\* support for the `i686-unknown-uefi` target.][64334] - [Added tier 3 support for the `sparc64-unknown-openbsd` target.][63595] - [rustc will now trim code snippets in diagnostics to fit in your terminal.] [63402] **Note** Cargo currently doesn't use this feature. Refer to [cargo#7315][cargo/7315] to track this feature's progress. - [You can now pass `--show-output` argument to test binaries to print the output of successful tests.][62600] \* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][forge-platform-support] for more information on Rust's tiered platform support. Libraries --------- - [`Vec::new` and `String::new` are now `const` functions.][64028] - [`LinkedList::new` is now a `const` function.][63684] - [`str::len`, `[T]::len` and `str::as_bytes` are now `const` functions.][63770] - [The `abs`, `wrapping_abs`, and `overflowing_abs` numeric functions are now `const`.][63786] Stabilized APIs --------------- - [`Pin::into_inner`] - [`Instant::checked_duration_since`] - [`Instant::saturating_duration_since`] Cargo ----- - [You can now publish git dependencies if supplied with a `version`.] [cargo/7237] - [The `--all` flag has been renamed to `--workspace`.][cargo/7241] Using `--all` is now deprecated. Misc ---- - [You can now pass `-Clinker` to rustdoc to control the linker used for compiling doctests.][63834] Compatibility Notes ------------------- - [Code that was previously accepted by the old borrow checker, but rejected by the NLL borrow checker is now a hard error in Rust 2018.][63565] This was previously a warning, and will also become a hard error in the Rust 2015 edition in the 1.40.0 release. - [`rustdoc` now requires `rustc` to be installed and in the same directory to run tests.][63827] This should improve performance when running a large amount of doctests. - [The `try!` macro will now issue a deprecation warning.][62672] It is recommended to use the `?` operator instead. - [`asinh(-0.0)` now correctly returns `-0.0`.][63698] Previously this returned `0.0`.

I've submitted #8427 which completes this work following some recent changes to rustc.

@estebank

Add support for rustc's `-Z terminal-width`. This PR continues the work started in #7315, adding support for rustc's `-Z terminal-width` flag, which is used to trim diagnostic output to fit within the current terminal and was added in rust-lang/rust#63402 (with JSON emitter support in rust-lang/rust#73763). At the time of writing, rust-lang/rust#73763 isn't in nightly, so the test added in this PR will fail, but it should pass tomorrow (I've confirmed that it works with a local rustc build). cc @estebank
