pub is missing the --(no-)sound-null-safety flags

[mit-mit]

Pub should support the null safety mode flags: --no-sound-null-safety / --sound-null-safety.

When used, they should be passed on to the VM (note that the flag there is yet to be renamed: #41853)

@mit-mit should this be filed on the pub repo? Or are you talking about dartdev?

[mit-mit]

I'm not sure actually. Don't we generally need this flag in all binaries that run/compile code + on all dartdev verbs that run/compile code? cc @leafpetersen

• What is the timing of this. Can this be available already?
• Will the old names still be available, or do we have to transition how we forward the flag?

[mit-mit]

We will simply rename the existing flags, they have not been mentioned in public documentation yet, and the rename is thus not considered breaking.

@a-siva when do you plan on renaming #41853? The pub flag should probably be landed after that item is done.

[mit-mit]

@sigurdm the VM flag has now been renamed

[kevmoo]

Has a CL gone through the SDK to bring in this version of pub?

Perhaps we should wait to close it until that happens @sigurdm
