stress-rs | Stress test for the Rust language and toolchain

stress-rs is a Rust library typically used in Binary Executable Format applications. stress-rs has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This is an informal stress test for the Rust language and toolchain using Rust/WinRT. It highlights how much slower the Rust compiler is compared with modern C++ compilers. Hopefully, this can help folks working on the Rust compiler and rust-analyzer frontend. This takes an enormous amount of time to compile. It is unfortunate that Rust seems to only support compiling a crate on a single thread. The bindings crate produces around 160MB of Rust source code - about 3.3 million lines of code. It took 57 minutes to compile the bindings crate. Even on a single thread, this is much slower than your average C++ compiler. The comparable C++ code from C++/WinRT takes about 90 seconds to compile.
