## 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:
```toml
# Default (all features)
[dependencies]
smmu = "1.0"
# Minimal (smallest binary)
[dependencies]
smmu = { version = "1.0", default-features = false, features = ["std"] }
# With serialization
[dependencies]
smmu = { version = "1.0", features = ["serde"] }
# Custom combination
[dependencies]
smmu = { version = "1.0", default-features = false,
features = ["std", "pasid", "two-stage"] }
```
**Available Features**:
- `std` (default) - Standard library support
- `pasid` (default) - PASID (Process Address Space ID) support
- `two-stage` (default) - Two-stage translation support
- `cache` (default) - TLB cache support
- `serde` (optional) - Serialization/deserialization support
- `full` - All features enabled
- `minimal` - 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](BUILD_PROFILES.md) for detailed guide and usage examples.
