[Suggestion] Remove debug info from release builds

[istudyatuni]

Rust 1.59 introduced new feature - creating stripped binaries. Results for hello-world app (target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu):

$ cargo build --release
   Compiling hello-world v0.1.0 (//hello-world)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 0.94s
$ du -h target/release/hello-world
3.6M	target/release/hello-world
# enable here
$ cargo build --release           
   Compiling hello-world v0.1.0 (//hello-world)
    Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 0.29s
$ du -h target/release/hello-world
308K	target/release/hello-world

with stripping all symbol information:

[profile.release]
strip = true

TIL. This is nice.

Here are the sizes I got:

• default: 4.4M
• strip = "debuginfo": 1.3M
• strip = "symbols" or strip = true: 1.1M

I think strip = "debuginfo" is a good middle ground. Some symbols might be needed for debugging crashes, etc.

Do you want to open a PR for this?

Sure
