Breaking change

This release marks a complete rework of the cargo-valgrind tool in version 1.x. This includes two kinds of change:

  1. CLI changes, that directly influence the users
  2. internal code changes in this tool

CLI changes

The first change is the most important one: instead of handling everything by cargo valgrind <FLAGS>, where <FLAGS> denote the actual action, the program is now called like this:

  • cargo valgrind run for running the current binary
  • cargo valgrind test for running all kinds of tests
  • cargo valgrind run --example foo for running the example foo
  • ...

This new command line supports every runnable target, that the normal cargo supports (likely even other cargo subcommands). Therefore most user-issues like "unit tests cannot be run" are now a thing of the past!
The downside of this change is the new command line, that has to be used. The changed command line is necessary due to the following internal changes:

Internal changes

This release marks a step in a completely new direction of this tool. Instead of parsing the command line and crucially the cargo metadata ourselves, the tool now uses cargo itself to handle the stuff, cargo knows about the best: what binary is produced by which command (the building was done by cargo in the older version 1.x of cargo-valgrind).
This greatly reduces the lines of code needed, as well as the complexity of the code. The now much more simple code is therefore also extendible in a more easy way.
