jobslot

An implementation of the GNU make jobserver for Rust

Documentation

Why fork jobserver?

• jobserver's maintainer @alexcrichton is not willing to merge [this PR] for bug fix because it would change its interface.
• Better performance on unix: jobserver's implementation uses [std::os::unix::process::CommandExt::pre_exec], which prevents Command::spawn from using vfork on unix.

Usage

First, add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] jobslot = "0.2.4"

Use of this crate in rustc

This crate uses getrandom v0.2.7 on windows. If you want to use this crate in rustc, make sure to bump getrandom to v0.2 to avoid pulling in different major versions of the same crate.
