An architecture note covering the requirements, minimal design, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and conditions that would prompt a redesign of Xcode’s New Build System.
Learn how Gulp’s vinyl‑based streaming architecture meets incremental build needs, where to place error handling, and when to switch to caching or worker pools for CPU‑heavy tasks.
Learn how the Xcode build system uses Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) to manage dependencies and how to prevent non-deterministic builds through explicit input/output declarations.
The goal is to determine the exact boundary at which Cargo’s rebuild logic and rustc’s incremental state diverge, causing a stale artifact to be reused. Constraints include changes to the toolchain, RUSTFLAGS, dependency versions, and build‑script side effects that may not be fully captured by Cargo’s fingerprinting. The uncertainty lies in whether Cargo’s c
