./x.py c library/std not supported

[tesuji]

./x.py check library/std works but ./x.py c library/std doesn't.
The latter command give the following errors:

thread 'main' panicked at 'No option 'all-targets' defined', /home/lzutao/.cargo/registry/src/jackfan.us.kg-1ecc6299db9ec823/getopts-0.2.21/src/lib.rs:799:21

The commit I use is a1dfd24,
which is latest upstream commit at this time.

It is unclear to me -- did this work in the past? I wouldn't personally want it to be a thing but I guess maybe Cargo has already created the expectation for this alias?

[tesuji]

Yeah, it worked in the past. However I am fine with using check if that reduces maintenance burden.

It would be nice to have all those matches use Subcommand instead of strings, but that's a larger refactor.

It would be nice to have all those matches use Subcommand instead of strings, but that's a larger refactor.

Subcommands are created too late to be used here. But I think it should be possible to add a new enum SubcommandTerm { Build, Check, ... } that would be created as a subcommand arg is processed and used then in the rest of the code. @jyn514 is that what you meant?

[jyn514]

Hmm, I think there are existing Kinds you could use. I don't know if they're constructed early enough to be used here.

Should we close this as #77624 got merged?
