Path to the source files of the standard and core library (sysroot) will begin with `/rustc/[rustc commit hash]`, + e.g. `/home/username/.rustup/toolchains/nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library/core/src/result.rs` -> + `/rustc/fe72845f7bb6a77b9e671e6a4f32fe714962cec4/library/core/src/result.rs` +2. Path to the current package will be stripped, e.g. `/home/username/crate/src/lib.rs` -> `src/lib.rs`. +3. Path to dependency packages will be replaced with `[package name]-[version]`. E.g. `/home/username/deps/foo/src/lib.rs` -> `foo-0.1.0/src/lib.rs` + +When a path to the source files of the standard and core library is *not* in scope for sanitisation, +the emitted path will depend on if `rust-src` component is present. +If it is, then some paths will point to the copy of the source files on your file system; +if it isn't, then they will show up as `/rustc/[rustc commit hash]/library/...` +(just like when it is selected for sanitisation). +Paths to all other source files will not be affected. + +This will not affect any hard-coded paths in the source code, such as in strings. + +#### Environment variable + +*as a new entry of ["Environment variables Cargo sets for build scripts"](./environment-variables.md#environment-variables-cargo-sets-for-crates)* + +* `CARGO_TRIM_PATHS` --- The value of `trim-paths` profile option. + If the build script introduces absolute paths to built artefacts (such as by invoking a compiler), + the user may request them to be sanitised in different types of artefacts. + Common paths requiring sanitisation include `OUT_DIR` and `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR`, + plus any other introduced by the build script, such as include directories. + # Stabilized and removed features ## Compile progress
