This not only avoids the small – and unnecessary – constant overhead for each compiler invocation,
but also helps somewhat by only having “correct” rustc processes to look for in
/proc/
.This also makes the wrapper behave effectively as a regular exec wrapper its intended to be.
I also took liberty to change the fallback error code from
1
to0xfe
(now only relevant on windows) so that when people complain about “compiler exited with code 254”, its obvious where the issue lies (wrapper losing the exit code somehow).r? @alexcrichton
