Building
Prerequisites
- Rust 1.75.0 or later (automatically managed by
rust-toolchain.toml) - No external dependencies required for default features (stdlib only)
- Optional: serde 1.0+ for serialization support
Feature Flags
The library supports flexible feature flags for customization:
# Default (all features)
[]
= "1.0"
# Minimal (smallest binary)
[]
= { = "1.0", = false, = ["std"] }
# With serialization
[]
= { = "1.0", = ["serde"] }
# Custom combination
[]
= { = "1.0", = false,
features = ["std", "pasid", "two-stage"] }
Available Features:
std(default) - Standard library supportpasid(default) - PASID (Process Address Space ID) supporttwo-stage(default) - Two-stage translation supportcache(default) - TLB cache supportserde(optional) - Serialization/deserialization supportfull- All features enabledminimal- Only std (minimal footprint)
Build Profiles
The project provides four optimized build profiles for different use cases:
dev(default) - Fast compilation, full debugging (7.2M)dev-opt- Optimized + debugging, good for profiling (4.4M)release- Production builds, maximum performance (308K)release-small- Size-optimized for embedded systems (308K)
See BUILD_PROFILES.md for detailed guide and usage examples.
Build Commands
# Build library with default features (dev profile)
# Build optimized release
# Build with all features
# Build for embedded/size-critical (size-optimized)
# Build for development with performance (debugging + optimization)
# Build with serde support
# Build documentation with all features
# Run all tests (including doctests)
# Run only unit and integration tests
# Run only doctests
# Run serde tests
# Run benchmarks
# Check code (fast compile check)
# Run clippy lints (library only)
# Run clippy on all targets
# Format code
# Verify all feature combinations
