Recently we re-wrote CI to increase VM level parallelism, in hindsite
this has proved to be not that great because:
- It resulted in approx 180 jobs
- We are on free tier so only get 20 jobs (VMs) at a time so its slow to run
- The UI is annoying to dig through the long job list to find failures
Have another go at organising the jobs with the main aim of shortening
total run time and making it easier to quickly see fails.
Re-write the `run_task.sh` script, notable moving manifest handling
to the workflow. Also don't bother testing with beta toolchain.
WASM Note
Removes the `cdylib` and `rlib` from the manifest patching during wasm
build - I do not know the following:
- Why this breaks on this PR but not on other PRs
- Why I can't get wasm test to run locally on master but PRs are passing
- What the `cdylib` and `rlib` were meant to be doing
This is the docs from: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/linkage.html
* --crate-type=cdylib, #![crate_type = "cdylib"] - A dynamic system
library will be produced. This is used when compiling a dynamic library
to be loaded from another language. This output type will create *.so
files on Linux, *.dylib files on macOS, and *.dll files on Windows.
* --crate-type=rlib, #![crate_type = "rlib"] - A "Rust library" file
will be produced. This is used as an intermediate artifact and can be
thought of as a "static Rust library". These rlib files, unlike
staticlib files, are interpreted by the compiler in future linkage. This
essentially means that rustc will look for metadata in rlib files like
it looks for metadata in dynamic libraries. This form of output is used
to produce statically linked executables as well as staticlib outputs.
af6dc1db02 internals: Bump version to 0.3.0 (Tobin C. Harding)
Pull request description:
In preparation for release add a changelog and bump the version number.
Please note, the changelog is pretty terse.

Add `euo pipefail` to all non-trial shell scripts, note if `x` is
already set we maintain it.
Note we have a pipe in `run_task.sh` that relies on grep not finding
anything i.e., failing, so we cannot use pipefail there. Disable it and
re-enable it after the pipe.
In preparation for release add a changlelog entry and bump the version.
I'm not 100% sure that this release is API breaking, dependencies
definitely changed. The rest might be only additives but I didn't bother
looking exactly because I think its better to bump the minor version and
err on the side of caution.
Note the hashes 0.13.0 dependency stays in the dependency graph because
of secp, we can update secp after releasing `hashes` then update the
secp dependency in `rust-bitcoin` thereby removing the `hashes v0.13.0`
dependency - phew.
I believe there is currently a bug in the MemorySanitizer, when we pass
various types across the FFI boundry MSAN gives a unititialized variable
error:
- `usize` passed as `size_t` (cannot be uninitialized)
- byte slice passed as `const char *`
In order to let other work continue disable the MSAN job.
If we pin the version of nightly to a specific date then `cargo
+nightly` will stop working. And even locally, if you want to use a
specific version of nightly, you can't if the script is overriding your
version with "+nightly". Instead the user should set RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN.
