Move the standard library to a separate workspace

This ensures that the Cargo.lock packaged for it in the rust-src
component is up-to-date, allowing rust-analyzer to run cargo metadata on
the standard library even when the rust-src component is stored in a
read-only location as is necessary for loading crates.io dependencies of
the standard library.

This also simplifies tidy's license check for runtime dependencies as it
can now look at all entries in library/Cargo.lock without having to
filter for just the dependencies of runtime crates. In addition this
allows removing an exception in check_runtime_license_exceptions that
was necessary due to the compiler enabling a feature on the object crate
which pulls in a dependency not allowed for the standard library.

While cargo workspaces normally enable dependencies of multiple targets
to be reused, for the standard library we do not want this reusing to
prevent conflicts between dependencies of the sysroot and of tools that
are built using this sysroot. For this reason we already use an unstable
cargo feature to ensure that any dependencies which would otherwise be
shared get a different -Cmetadata argument as well as using separate
build dirs.

This doesn't change the situation around vendoring. We already have
several cargo workspaces that need to be vendored. Adding another one
doesn't change much.

There are also no cargo profiles that are shared between the root
workspace and the library workspace anyway, so it doesn't add any extra
work when changing cargo profiles.

Website | Getting started | Learn | Documentation | Contributing

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 integrate 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).
