1584224 - Touching the bindings recompiles the entire world

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, task, P3)

Description

[Nicolas Silva [:nical]]

The generated webrender bindings end up included everywere, we shouldn't need to rebuild all of dom, toolkit, accessible, and a bunch of other things.

Let's make this better.

I've thought a bit about this. The reason the bindings end up being included in lots of places is because the generated webrender types are used in widely included places. One way to help with this would be to somehow have separate headers for the types and the bindings. I recall having a bit of a discussion about how to do this in cbindgen but can't find any reference to it anywhere.
