Failed to compile (signal: 9, SIGKILL: kill)

[TomasHubelbauer]

Hey, I have tried to compile a project which uses http as an indirect dependency (through actix-web) and the compilation failed on http:

rustc --crate-name http /root/.cargo/registry/src/git.colasdn.top-1ecc6299db9ec823/http-0.1.5/src/lib.rs --crate-type lib --emit=dep-info,link -C debuginfo=2 -C metadata=c5fc1c2aeed1cb92 -C extra-filename=-c5fc1c2aeed1cb92 --out-dir /root/www/target/debug/deps -L dependency=/root/www/target/debug/deps --extern fnv=/root/www/target/debug/deps/libfnv-7a9f4c1f096c756f.rlib --extern bytes=/root/www/target/debug/deps/libbytes-5673bf19e74e48d8.rlib --cap-lints allow

It just returns Killed.

I have got the line about by running cargo run --verbose on my project (the project is just actix-web sample code verbatim). This happened to a fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04 where only Rust and build-essential were installed previously.

Is there a way I could try and help debug this further?

Hm, that's unfortunate for sure! It sounds like it could be an issue with the rustc compiler, it might be better to file an issue there.

Okay, thank you!

A sigkill is almost always caused by the system running out of memory and the kernel OOM killer terminating the process.

That's been my experience as well. If it's possible to compile other crates though, it may mean the compiler memory is ballooning in some weird case here.
