Conversation
The script crate currently has a build script, and Cargo will consider all files in the script crate as inputs to the build script as it otherwise doesn't know [what the input files are][cargo-1162]. This means that if any file in the source tree of the script crate changes (or is created) then Cargo will think it needs to re-run the build script and rebuild the crate. [cargo-1162]: rust-lang/cargo#1162 The build script of the script crate is invoking python, and consequently Python is generating some bytecode files in the source tree. On the second build of Servo, Cargo will see these new files, think that something has changed, and will re-run the build script of the script crate. This change passes the `-B` flag to python to avoid generating these bytecode files, which should avoid tampering with the source tree and appease Cargo by ensuring that it doesn't get rebuilt. --- As a helpful tip to if this comes up again, this was discovered by using the changes in rust-lang/cargo@c447e9d plus the change in rust-lang/cargo#2044. Once `RUST_LOG` was set to `cargo::ops::cargo_rustc::fingerprint=info`, the second run of `./mach build` printed out: ``` precalculated components have changed: 1444364448.000000000s (/build/servo/components/script/dom/bindings/codegen/parser/WebIDL.pyc) != 1444364235.000000000s (/build/servo/components/script/document_loader.rs) ``` Which should help easily diagnose these kinds of problems in the future!

Was this a regression? I seem to recall that we were using -B before. In any case, nice find Alex! |

Oh and I should also mention that this should still happen by default due to this gitignore rule but there's a bug in cargo which means that Cargo isn't picking this up. |
