Description

In the ideal case the recompilation of the dependent crate would be exactly as fast as a completely unchanged incremental compilation if the dependency didn't change any declarations, generic function definitions or anything of that kind.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the existing incremental-compilation benchmarks in rustc-perf, then add a case where only a dependency is patched; done means the dependent crate recompiles with unchanged declarations and generic definitions and the benchmark records that scenario.
