Hi, I have a (large-ish) project of about 20 library crates and 15 binaries. I'm considering moving this into a workspace and have read up on the documentation - but am slightly scared by the seeming lack of using different compiler flags: In particular I have a few library crates that are very performance sensitivt - they are compiled at high optimization level and using wide avx instructions (sleef primitive math function also used - linking a c++ lib). However - to save compilation time I do not want to compile all of the other lib crates and binaries using the same compiler settings. To my question: Is it possible to sett different compiler flags for different crates in a workspace (it specifies that the profile* part is not respected from the sub crates) or do I have to keep using multiple crates outside a workspace to achieve this? Regards

[image] Per crate build optinos Set [profile. .package. ] in config.toml Configuration - The Cargo Book [profile. ] # Modify profile settings via config. inherits = "dev" # Inherits settings from [profile.dev]. opt-level = 0 # Optimization level. debug = true # Include debug info. split-debuginfo = '...' # Debug info splitting behavior. debug-assertions = true # Enables debug assertions. overflow-checks = true # Enables runtime integer overflow checks. lto = false …

Thanks! So it is possible - but all the changes have to be done in the top level config file as I understand it?

[image] vron: have to be done in the top level config file No. See Configuration - The Cargo Book Update: Well, for workspace project, yes. At present, when being invoked from a workspace, Cargo does not read config files from crates within the workspace.

Yep - that's what I was refering to in the first place :slight_smile: Thanks for your help - I will give the workspace a test
