Run different tools in sequence without rebuilding?

[ZhekaS]

Say I want to peform cargo objcopy to produce a binary file and the cargo objdump to produce a disassembly file. Currently it looks like both commands are triggering a build, which is not necessary and moreover can lead to an inconsistency in case the build process doing some weird things, such as embedding timestamps or random values in the resulting artifact.

Is it possible to add an option like --no-rebuild or similar?

we need to build as there's no way for us to know which artifact to grab. Maybe there's a workaround for this now but you can use the llvm-tools directly for now.

I see.. yeah, currently I am using llvm-tools with the artifact path parsed out from the cargo build --message-format=json-render-diagnostics. Since it is a single invocation of make, I did not consider this problem. So if cargo-binutils to do something similar, it will have to cache last build info somewhere which I guess qualifies as a workaround.
