tarpaulin VS cross

I’ll add tarpaulin, a crate I use for code coverage analysis.

Any pros/cons compared to tarpaulin?

What about tarpaulin : https://github.com/xd009642/tarpaulin

Note that the tool cargo-tarpaulin provides code coverage.

There is https://github.com/xd009642/tarpaulin for code coverage, but I'm not sure how widely it's used.

I know giving a link is not a tutorial, but I use https://github.com/xd009642/tarpaulin for this.

Writing software test for [Toql](https://crates.io/crates/toql) and shaking out smaller bugs here and there. [Tarpaulin](https://github.com/xd009642/tarpaulin) is such a fantastic tool!

Code quality also has become quite better than the last year. Almost codes in the project are tested by either unit or integration tests. Code coverage using tarpaulin is above 90%.

To compile a program with musl on a glibc system you can use cross-rs!

I cross compile to Mac, bsd, windows, etc cross ... Works great for me with either docker or podman.

If docker is available for you, https://github.com/cross-rs/cross is another and reliable way to solve this kind of problem. I do use it regularly.

We are using https://github.com/cross-rs/cross.

There is some built-in support in rustc for cross-compiling, but getting the build to actually work can be tricky due to the need for an appropriate linker. Instead, we’re going to use the Cross crate, which used to be maintained by the Rust Embedded Working Group Tools group.

I have used cross before to cross compile from Linux to other Linux. It has a section on it's wiki about this. Maybe that could be of help.

You can use cross to build your application and copy the artifacts into an alpine armv7 container. It would also build faster due to using cross compilation rather than QEMU.

Looks like cross is the easiest way to get something cross-compiled but its Mac support is blocked behind building your own build image. Even that repo says that it might be broken.

Bonus: if you’re working with Rust and doing a lot of cross platform stuff, check out cross. It runs QEMU in docker so you can run tests on a bunch of different emulated targets easily- literally a one line setup, it’s kind of magical.

It's also not as naturally cross-compilable as Go, though that's partly a side-effect of not accepting being a semi-closed ecosystem to achieve that and cross exists as a stop-gap while things like cargo-zigbuild explore less drastic options.
