The `rustc-check-cfg` instruction tells Cargo to pass the given expected

261+
used for compile-time detection of unexpected [conditional compilation] configs.

println!("cargo::rustc-check-cfg=cfg(foo, values(\"bar\"))");
268+

Note that all possible cfgs should be defined, regardless of which cfgs are
271+
currently enabled. This includes all possible values of a given cfg name.

274+
[`cargo::rustc-cfg`][option-cfg] instructions as closely as possible in order to
275+
