Rust: Doesn't build object file

[kassane]

Xmake 版本

2.8.3

操作系统版本和架构

ArchLinux

描述问题

Just build an object file and then choose the linker or pass any custom rules later.
Tried same test on other supported languages: C++, C, Zig and D. No such problem during the build.

期待的结果

I expected xmake to generate just a rust object file. Allow users to choose the linker!

工程配置

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

target("xmake_rs_demo")
    set_kind("object")
    add_files("src/main.rs")

附加信息和错误日志

build set_kind("object"):

I tried this a long time ago and failed, it's complicated and doesn't handle links well. rustc also doesn't provide any more interface parameters for me to do this.

Try rustc -C opt-level=3 --edition 2018 --emit=obj src/main.rs - output in $PWD - xmake need move object file

Please, allow choose rust edition, like c++ version! [edition: 2015|2018|2021] - TODO 2024

• Tracking Issue for RFC 3501: Edition 2024 rust-lang/rust#117258

I know it, but I don't know how to link these objects with rust system libs, modules, packages. But rustc a.rs b.rs ... will do some automatically.

May I ask why by default xmake uses 2018 edition? I don't know how to change it, even though my config toml is using 2021.

nevermind I found it, but it seems not in the docs and pretty hard to figure out how to do it.
