Add `-Z hint-mostly-unused` to tell rustc that most of a crate will go unused This hint allows the compiler to optimize its operation based on this assumption, in order to compile faster. This is a hint, and does not guarantee any particular behavior. This option can substantially speed up compilation if applied to a large dependency where the majority of the dependency does not get used. This flag may slow down compilation in other cases. Currently, this option makes the compiler defer as much code generation as possible from functions in the crate, until later crates invoke those functions. Functions that never get invoked will never have code generated for them. For instance, if a crate provides thousands of functions, but only a few of them will get called, this flag will result in the compiler only doing code generation for the called functions. (This uses the same mechanisms as cross-crate inlining of functions.) This does not affect `extern` functions, or functions marked as `#[inline(never)]`. Some performance numbers, based on a crate with many dependencies having just *one* large dependency set to `-Z hint-mostly-unused` (using Cargo's `profile-rustflags` option): A release build went from 4m07s to 2m04s. A non-release build went from 2m26s to 1m28s.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
