Remove support for `-Zprofile` (gcov-style coverage instrumentation) Tracking issue: #42524 MCP: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/798 --- This PR removes the unstable `-Zprofile` flag, which enables ”gcov-style” coverage instrumentation, along with its associated `-Zprofile-emit` configuration flag. (The profile flag predates and is almost entirely separate from the stable `-Cinstrument-coverage` flag.) Notably, the `-Zprofile` flag: - Is largely untested in-tree, having only one run-make test that does not check whether its output is correct or useful. - Has no known maintainer. - Has seen no push towards stabilization. - Has at least one severe regression reported in 2022 that apparently remains unaddressed. - #100125 - Is confusingly named, since it appears to be more about coverage than performance profiling, and has nothing to do with PGO. - Is fundamentally limited by relying on counters auto-inserted by LLVM, with no knowledge of Rust beyond debuginfo. |
