Introduce `tracing` as a feature flag
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Downstream crates that use hyper have feature flag tracing using which users can choose not to download tracing library or use tracing. Ex: octocrab has this feature. Even though octocrab has this feature tracing, the tracing library anyway gets downloaded since hyper is a dependency of octocrab and hyper downloads tracing libraries by default.
Describe the solution you'd like
Hyper to hide tracing behind a feature flag. That way, downstream crates that use hyper can choose not to have tracing if needed.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Downstream crates start using tracing by default
Additional context
By allowing tracing as a feature flag, users can opt out of tracing and avoid having to download tracing related libraries
It would be nice. As part of #2874, we'll move tracing to an unstable feature in 1.0. We can't move it to a feature in 0.14, since it could suddenly mean tracing is disabled for people who have default-features = false.
This was done as part of v1.
