Yes the plan is to continue hashing metadata into filename suffixes; it's to prevent short-name collisions. It's actually not a lot of work to make that name something you can _query_ though. We just haven't put a command-line option on rustc. -Graydon _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
