[tmp] Allow call `cargo build` directly, multiple bin compilation

A temporary fix to the cargo check multiple binary problem related to this sublimelinter-contrib-rust issue can be to allow the user to call directly the cargo build command which will don't ask to specify --bin NAME parameter to compile everything and return all errors/warnings.

_Temporary_ :smile:

https://github.com/Kerosene2000/SublimeLinter-contrib-rustc/commit/0caf73599da7a5ea7f3bb30d3446fe909b3128a2 It's working great! But it will be very slow to compile the binaries each time you want to check only the syntax :cry:

I filed an issue on the fork of cargo-check called cargo-clippy where activity seems to be much more common. It might be worth considering switching.

cargo check and cargo clippy are different things, not forks.

[llogiq]

To elaborate, cargo check only parses and type-checks the code,whereas cargo clippy runs a battery of lints (which is slower but will find more things worthy of improvement).

Ahh, I thought it was a fork for some reason. Cargo check still hasn't seen nearly as much activity (only 8 commits). On May 16, 2016 11:08 AM, "llogiq" [email protected] wrote:

cargo check does a very simple thing, so there's no need for more activity

[Kerollmops]

I think cargo check needs to be capable to check multiple bin/libs. cargo build can do that, why not cargo check ?

[Manishearth]

cargo build doesn't build all bins at once, IIRC

[Manishearth]

Anyway, both cargo check and cargo clippy forward to cargo rustc, a built-in subcommand, which is the one which doesn't allow stuff to be run on all targets. The bug should be on cargo

[Kerollmops]

No, but it checks the syntax and then compile each binary/library, why cargo check cannot just check syntax ? Yes, that's right, cargo rustc is the problem source !
