前面已经提到过在 cargo 配置文件 Cargo.toml 中如何手动添加工程依赖项,cargo 同样提供了 add 指令用于快捷添加依赖项,比如添加随机数生成包 rand
$ cargo add rand
Updating crates.io index
Adding rand v0.8.5 to dependencies.
Features:
+ alloc
+ getrandom
+ libc
+ rand_chacha
+ std
+ std_rng
- log
- min_const_gen
- nightly
- packed_simd
- serde
- serde1
- simd_support
- small_rng
Updating crates.io index
$ cat Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "hello_rust"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"
# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html
[dependencies]
rand = "0.8.5"
添加完依赖项 rand 后,然后看看编译执行过程
$ cargo run

Hello rust's world!
看到编译过程 cargo 会先从 crates.io 下载依赖项源码,然后编译依赖项源码,最后才编译本地工程代码。但是刚刚用 cargo add 指令添加的依赖项是 rand,为什么多了这么多其它内容?因为 rand 也有依赖项,为了编译 rand 也需要先把它的依赖项源码下载下来。
在工程被首次构建后,发现工程目录下多了个 Cargo.lock 文件。这个文件是为了更具体地描述 Cargo.toml 文件中所添加的依赖项,它由 cargo 自动维护,开发人员不应该手动修改它。
看看构建之后的 Cargo.lock
$ cat Cargo.lock

为什么还需要更多的依赖项描述呢?因为 Cargo.toml 文件中填写的依赖项其自身所依赖的包可能会更新,为避免依赖项各自更新后不兼容导致的编译错误,需要更多的详细描述对依赖项进行身份固化,比如依赖项所依赖的的依赖包名、版本、来源、校验码等,确保循环依赖在后期的再次编译中不会突然报错。
同时,Cargo.lock 文件仅会在 package 工程首次编译构建时生成,如果依赖项被更新了,再次利用 cargo 重新构建编译时会自动维护 Cargo.lock 文件内容。
开发软件过程中,往往要不断迭代升级,频繁修改,又为了在开始下一部分编码之前,先检查当前编写代码的正确性,无论是语法还是逻辑层面都需要。由于功能逻辑未必开发完整,中途检查更多的是侧重于编译完整性,也就是语法层面,只要能编译顺利通过即可,这并不需要最终的输出文件。对于逻辑功能的验证,才需要实际运行最终输出文件。
编译时输出文件的大小直接影响到投入的等待检查时间,工程代码少,编译输出的文件较小,耗时也短;但是面对庞大项目工程时,为了加快开发中途的检查,那么 cargo 有没有提供这方面的选项工具帮助跳过输出文件这最后一步呢?
Cargo 提供了 check 指令用于检查 package 工程代码和依赖项相关的问题。
为了演示,先用 cargo clean 将当前工程的中间文件清除,然后执行 cargo check 检查代码
$ cargo clean
$ cargo check
Checking hello_rust v0.1.0 (~/hello_rust)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.07s
$ cargo clean
$ cargo build
Compiling hello_rust v0.1.0 (~/hello_rust)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.23s
从上面的输出来看,和 cargo build 编译指令相比,cargo check 的输出更快。
为了更详细了解 cargo build 和 cargo check 的耗时,我们重新用 time 指令来对比一下
$ cargo clean
$ time cargo check
Checking hello_rust v0.1.0 (~/hello_rust)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.80s
real 0m0.894s
user 0m0.109s
sys 0m0.297s
$ cargo clean
$ time cargo build
Compiling hello_rust v0.1.0 (~/hello_rust)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 1.17s
real 0m1.260s
user 0m0.266s
sys 0m0.453s
从上面的统计数据来看,cargo check 执行速度明显要快很多,而这还只是编译构建简单的 hello world 程序。如果换做普通规模的软件工程,cargo check 的执行速度优势想必会更明显。
