Some bugs and various issues, regarding getting rustc to disable this, If i understand correctly, that there is an implementation you might be able to use that rfc to add...

One thing to note here is that (i believe...) some of this c code being converted I believe is actually generated via web2c, and rather than jumping from web ->...

@pkgw Thanks for clarifying your position on this, and the word of caution. It is very helpful to know when my initial inclination is contrary to explicit decisions that have...

@pkgw I didn't really take it negatively at all, hopefully some context might shine a light on where i'm coming from. a) my interest in TeX largely stems from it...

FWIW, here is some output from a 300 page extraction of source code comments, comparing running xelatex twice, with tectonic. This is a random output that was lying around i.e....

One thing I notice (at least on @rekka 's flamegraph branch), is that when building tectonic/*.c using `cargo build -vv --release` is the use of -fno-omit-frame-pointer which at least accounts...

I added an option to [cc-rs pull req](https://github.com/alexcrichton/cc-rs/pull/441) to allow us to configure whether frame pointers are omitted. I will try to remember to come up with a `#[cfg(all(target_os =...

I was also curious about this, because after getting a report from a user taking ~20 minutes, I zapped my tectonic cache and redownloaded everything, and it was slow here...

@rasky I don't see that, there are 3 `Client::new()` calls corresponding to these 3 phases ``` note: downloading index note: downloading SHA256SUM note: downloading tectonic-format-latex.tex .... etc ``` during the...
