Cargo Features

[dependencies]
spartan = { version = "0.8.0", default-features = false, features = ["std", "simd_backend", "multicore", "profile"] }
default = simd_backend, std

These default features are set whenever spartan is added without default-features = false somewhere in the dependency tree.

std default

Enables rust_backend of flate2, use_std of itertools ^0.10.0, std of byteorder, curve25519-dalek ^3.2.0, and digest ^0.8.1 and std of merlin, rand ^0.7.3, serde, sha3 ^0.8.2, subtle, and zeroize

rand:

Option (enabled by default): without "std" rand uses libcore; this option enables functionality expected to be available on a standard platform.

Required by nizk and snark binaries

simd_backend default

Enables simd_backend of curve25519-dalek ^3.2.0

multicore = rayon
profile = colored

Affects timer::CALL_DEPTH, timer::Timer

Features from optional dependencies

In crates that don't use the dep: syntax, optional dependencies automatically become Cargo features. These features may have been created by mistake, and this functionality may be removed in the future.
