Reviewer Prompt

Keep configuration flags, feature toggles, and build settings concise and well-organized. Use simpler names where appropriate and consolidate related flags when possible to improve readability and maintainability.

When defining new configuration flags:

  • Choose concise, descriptive names without redundant prefixes
  • Consider the context in which flags will be used
  • Group related configuration options when possible

Example of simplifying multiple flags:

# Before: Multiple separate flags
- RUSTFLAGS: -Dwarnings --check-cfg=cfg(loom) --check-cfg=cfg(tokio_unstable) --check-cfg=cfg(tokio_taskdump) --check-cfg=cfg(fuzzing)

# After: Consolidated flags
+ RUSTFLAGS: -Dwarnings --check-cfg=cfg(loom, tokio_unstable, tokio_taskdump, fuzzing)

For feature flags and conditional compilation:

# Before: Verbose, redundant naming
- --cfg tokio_unstable_uring

# After: Simplified naming
+ --cfg tokio_uring

This approach makes configuration more maintainable, reduces verbosity, and improves readability, especially as the number of configuration options grows over time.
