hi folks!

i have a large crate (50K+ lines of code) and would like to split it into several smaller crates.

the dependency structure of the items in the crate is unfortunately rather intertwined.

(Initially, this was a c++ codebase -- I have been translating to rust)

i am wondering if there is a tool i can use to help me subdivide this crate into separate subcrates.

what i want to know is: where can i make the cuts between items in the crate such that i dont introduce a cyclic dependency?

is there a tool i can use to help visualize the dependency structure between items?

thanks!

Not sure if it fits your usecase exactly, but this crate can be quite useful to visualize your crate structure https://crates.io/crates/cargo-modules
