The past releases had a couple bugs slip by that could have been caught by CI, so I'm trying to extend it a bit.

Please ignore for now.

Notable changes here:

  • All configurations not have a DESCRIPTION environment variable.
  • We now have only one macOS builder. Before we had a second one wich cross-compiled to iOS. Cross-compiling to iOS didn't require Trust, Cross etc., and takes little time. We already couldn't run tests for it (very hard to set up, because you can't 'just' run a binary on iOS). So I moved it in with the macOS builder.
  • cargo-deadlinks and cargo-web print the installed version.
  • We now have one builder that runs tests for Emscripten, stdweb and wasm-bindgen. At least, that is the idea. I ran into issues trying to get cargo-web test Emscripten on chrome and Node.js, so Emscripten now only builds. Also the result of wasm-bindgen will require manual incantations and doesn't run the test suite, which I thought not worth the effort to somehow test.
  • We have a new cross-platform builder. It only compiles, but doesn't run tests. This will make sure we at least keep compiling on Solaris, CloudABI, FreeBSD, Fuchsia, NetBSD and Redox.
  • The FreeBSD builder that uses Trust wasn't doing any testing, so it was needlessly complicated.
  • I didn't see much use for the thumbv6m-none-eabi builder, we already test no_std support plenty?
  • Enabled running tests on ARMv7 Android using Trust.
  • Testing alloc in cargo test --features serde1,log,nightly,alloc was useless, because it is enabled by default.
  • Added a lengthy (and probably hard to follow) rationale 😄.

This is the most comprehensive set I could come up with, unless we start to make our own Qemu images of all supported OSes and start running tests on these. I.e. do a lot of work to set it up and maintain.

The number of Travis builders is reduced from 11 to 8, all usually done in < 4 minutes.

The 8 Travis builders:

  • pinned stable Rust release
  • stable Rust release, macOS, iOS (cross-compile only)
  • beta Rust release
  • nightly features, benchmarks, documentation
  • WASM via emscripten, stdweb and wasm-bindgen
  • cross-platform builder (doesn't run tests)
  • Linux (MIPS, big-endian)
  • Android (ARMv7)

Few comments. I'll finish reviewing later. But thanks for doing this; it was very much needed!

Do we want --lib or --tests?

On master we have this comment:

        # TODO: use --tests instead of --lib on more recent compiler

So I guess it depends on the minimal Rust version we are supporting.

They do exactly the same (because we are only a library), but --lib is available in Rust 1.22.0, --tests isn't.

Thank you, maybe I should use the spell checker in gedit once in a while...

Should we allow failures on nightly? I think those failures are currently a bit of a distraction...

We are just unlucky at the moment. The alloc crate, wasm-bindgen and simd are all working towards stabilization, and shouldn't keep making breaking changes as often the the last few weeks.

The nightly builders also do extra work, like generating the (most complete) documentation and testing the benchmarks. I wouldn't want to see them easily ignored (we already ignore them anyway when the fix is somewhat outside our control).

I think we should have a test that enables all features. Currently it is easy to add a new feature and forget to make sure the tests actually run.

# - test no_std support, but only the unit tests:
# `cargo test --lib --no-default-features`
# - run unit tests and doctests with all features which are available on stable:
# `cargo test --features=serde1,log`

i128_support is also available on recent stable compilers (though see comments in #566; this may get enabled by default)

As @vks says, may make sense just to use --all-features here
