RFC / DRAFT: Add release-debug, optimized, and optimized-debug build profiles. #211

Closed linuxtim closed 1 year ago

linuxtim commented 1 year ago

I've done a bit of rust development on bare metal embedded systems, where I usually tweak the default cargo release build profile for minimum code size. I thought I would try the same on gnvim, and it reduced the generated code size by 45% whilst only adding 10% to the compile time. I thought this was probably worth having, so here's a PR which introduces this build profile, and changes the Makefile to use it by default.

There are also a couple of other profiles which I've used in the past for debug builds for troubleshooting, which I thought could provide a straightforward way to help users debug issue.

Thanks. This reminded me about some dev build optimizations that the bevy game engine recommends, so I added those too. It made the dev build go from "not usable" to "somewhat usable for testing".
