Hi all,

I’ve run into something puzzling and was hoping someone might point me in the right direction. I’m working in a large codebase, and while investigating a performance issue I noticed that in one particular file all feature flags appear to be enabled (this makes a certain function execute multiple versions of itself instead of just one).

Here’s the confusing part:

• If I add something like #[cfg(feature = "bob")] in other nearby files (and add the flag to Cargo.toml), VS Code correctly shows it as disabled when the feature isn’t set.
• But in this one file, any feature flag I try appears to be active, regardless of whether it’s actually enabled in Cargo.toml.
• I tried running cargo clean, but the behavior didn’t change.

Does anyone know what might cause a single file to behave as if every feature flag is turned on? Where should I start looking? How should I debug this?

Thanks!
