Rust uses rust to compile itself. This means I need some version of rust installed locally. I like to build from source, but that means I have to add a Rust bin dependency before moving ahead. When compiling rust locally, I ended up with a 6GB build directory.
When printing the assembly code generated by Rust with --emit=asm
the functions get a pretty strange name. For example, a function
called my_sweet_fun ended up being renamed to
_ZN3prj12my_sweet_fun17h48a8fcf5733b3ef9E. This makes inspecting the
assembly files less convenient.
