🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

Does cargo -Z build-std apply RUSTFLAGS (e.g. -D warnings) when compiling the standard library?

💡 Result:

Yes, when you use the cargo -Z build-std feature, RUSTFLAGS apply to the compilation of the standard library [1]. Cargo treats the standard library as just another set of dependencies in the crate graph when -Z build-std is enabled [2][1]. Consequently, RUSTFLAGS (such as -D warnings or custom target CPU flags) are inherited and applied to all standard library crates (like core, alloc, and std) during the build process [1][3]. Because the standard library respects these flags, changing your RUSTFLAGS between different cargo invocations will typically trigger a rebuild of the standard library crates, as Cargo detects a change in the build fingerprint [3]. This behavior is consistent with how Cargo treats RUSTFLAGS as a low-level escape hatch that remains opaque to the build system, applying to all rustc invocations within that build session [1].

Citations:

Avoid applying -D warnings to the build-std step.

RUSTFLAGS: "-D warnings" is inherited by cargo -Z build-std, so the rebuilt std/panic_unwind can fail on upstream nightly warnings. Since this job is deployment-critical, scope the warning denial to first-party crates or drop it here.

In @.github/workflows/ext.yaml around lines 190 - 223, The workflow currently
applies RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" to the wasm build, which also affects cargo -Z
build-std and can break rebuilding std/panic_unwind on nightly warnings. Update
the ext workflow job so the warning denial is not inherited by the build-std
path, either by removing it from this job or scoping it only to first-party
crate builds. Use the existing rustup, setup-wasm, and wasm build steps as the

Assert exception-handling on the final shipped artifact.

The test-wasm-unwind target currently validates $(WASM_LIB) (the raw cargo build output), but the deployed artifact is $(WASM_FILE), which undergoes processing by wasm-bindgen and wasm-opt. If the wasm-opt step encounters an error or fails to preserve the Tag section, the || true handler allows the build to proceed with a broken binary, bypassing the validation of the actual shipped code.

Update the target dependency and inspection path to assert on $(WASM_FILE):

In `@web_ext/sseq_gui/Makefile` around lines 37 - 47, The unwind check is
validating the raw cargo output instead of the final shipped wasm artifact, so
update the `test-wasm-unwind` target in the Makefile to depend on and inspect
`$(WASM_FILE)` rather than `$(WASM_LIB)`. Make the `wasm-objdump`/`grep`
assertion run against the post-`wasm-bindgen`/`wasm-opt` output so the `Tag`
section check covers the actual binary users receive; use the existing
`test-wasm-unwind`, `WASM_FILE`, and `WASM_LIB` symbols to locate the change.

By default the wasm is built with `panic=abort`, which works on stable. Passing
`WASM_UNWIND=1` instead rebuilds the standard library with `panic=unwind` (via
`-Z build-std`) so that Rust panics unwind into JavaScript exceptions rather
than aborting the whole module:

```shell
make wasm WASM_UNWIND=1
```

This requires a **nightly** toolchain with the `rust-src` component (installed
by `make setup-wasm`). The deployed build uses `WASM_UNWIND=1`; CI also builds
the default `panic=abort` configuration on stable/beta.

Afterwards, build and serve with
