rust-lang/testing-devex-team#9 proposed changing the behavior of `--logfile`.
The given reasons were:
(1) Bazel can't programmatically process stdout. This seems like a
limitation in Bazel and we recommend focusing on that. If we look at
the wider Rust ecosystem, Rustc and Cargo don't support any such
mechanism and the Cargo team rejected having one. Expecting this in
libtest when its not supported elsewhere seems too specialized.
(2) Tests that leak out non-programmatic output that intermixes with
programmatic output. We acknowledge this is a problem to be evaluated
but we need to make sure we are stepping back and gathering
requirements, rather than assuming `--logfile` will fit the needs.
Independent of the motive, regarding using or changing `--logfile`
(1) Most ways to do it would be a breaking change, like if we respect
any stable `--format`. As suggested above, we could specialize this to
new `--format` values but that would be confusing for some values to
apply but not others.
(2) Other ways of solving this add new features to lib`test` when we are
instead wanting to limit the feature set it has to minimize the
compatibility surface that has to be maintained and the burden it would
put on third party harnesses which are a focus area. Examples include
`--format compact` or a `--log-format` flag
(3) The existence of `--logfile` dates back quite a ways

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
