This PR tries to resolve this issue #3070. The problem is that the walk_tree method in the src/util/config.rs module was parsing more than once the contents of the config file in the home directory (the file ~/.cargo/config). The biggest problem with this is with options that can accept multiple values, like build.rustflags. If you parse the file twice, the same option can end with duplicated values (e.g: rustflags=["-Z", "foo", "-Z", "foo"]).

I made the fix following the comments in the issue. In the fix I keep track of all the parsed config files in a HashSet so I can know if a file has been parsed already. I'm also using std::fs::canonicalize, as suggested in the issue, to prevent parsing files behind symbolic links more than once.

UPDATE: I removed the call to fs::canonicalize as suggested in the comments. Now the fix is way simpler, which means less code and less possibilities to add a new bug.

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @alexcrichton (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

I believe this didn't previously call fs::canonicalize, so perhaps this could be left out?

No, it's new, but It was suggested in the original issue (here #3070 (comment)) and I thought it was a good idea. I can remove it of course.

Now that I'm thinking, if I remove the fs::canonicalize call I don't really need the struct. I put it only to simplify the "canonicalization" process. I think it would be simpler if I remove the struct and leave only the HashSet.

@alexcrichton any idea why the AppVeyor tests fail? I didn't touch those specs, I think.

* Remove ConfiFile struct, it is not needed without the fs::canonicalize
  call.
* Don't check if the file is in the stash when walking the tree,
  without "canonicalization" it is not necessary.

@alexcrichton I removed the call to fs::canonicalize and simplify the code. Now I'm only keeping track of the files walked during the initial loop and check if the home config file has been already parsed afterwards. I think its the simplest solution for this issue I can think off.

Fix: Don't parse the home directory more than once

This PR tries to resolve this issue #3070. The problem is that the `walk_tree` method in the `src/util/config.rs` module was parsing more than once the contents of the config file in the home directory (the file `~/.cargo/config`). The biggest problem with this is with options that can accept multiple values, like `build.rustflags`. If you parse the file twice, the same option can end with duplicated values (e.g: `rustflags=["-Z", "foo", "-Z", "foo"]`).

I made the fix following the comments in the issue. In the fix I keep track of all the parsed config files in a `HashSet` so I can know if a file has been parsed already. ~~I'm also using `std::fs::canonicalize`, as suggested in the issue, to prevent parsing files behind symbolic links more than once.~~

**UPDATE:** I removed the call to `fs::canonicalize` as suggested in the comments. Now the fix is way simpler, which means less code and less possibilities to add a new bug.
