//! Assembly of a Miden Assembly project is comprised of four phases:
//!
//! 1. _Parsing_, where MASM sources are parsed into the AST data structure. Some light validation
//!    is done in this phase, to catch invalid syntax, invalid immediate values (e.g. overflow), and
//!    other simple checks that require little to no reasoning about surrounding context.
//! 2. _Semantic analysis_, where initial validation of the AST is performed. This step catches
//!    unused imports, references to undefined local symbols, orphaned doc comments, and other
//!    checks that only require minimal module-local context. Initial symbol resolution is performed
//!    here based on module-local context, as well as constant folding of expressions that can be
//!    resolved locally. Symbols which refer to external items are unable to be fully processed as
//!    part of this phase, and is instead left to the linking phase.
//! 3. _Linking_, the most critical phase of compilation. During this phase, the assembler has the
//!    full compilation graph available to it, and so this is where inter-module symbol references
//!    are finally able to be resolved (or not, in which case appropriate errors are raised). This
//!    is the phase where we catch cyclic references, references to undefined symbols, references to
//!    non-public symbols from other modules, etc. Once all symbols are linked, the assembler is
//!    free to compile all of the procedures to MAST, and generate a [crate::Library].
//! 4. _Assembly_, the final phase, where all of the linked items provided to the assembler are
//!    lowered to MAST, or to their final representations in the [crate::Library] produced as the
//!    output of assembly. During this phase, it is expected that the compilation graph has been
//!    validated by the linker, and we're simply processing the conversion to MAST.
//!
//! This module provides the implementation of the linker and its associated data structures. There
//! are three primary parts:
//!
//! 1. The _call graph_, this is what tracks dependencies between procedures in the compilation
//!    graph, and is used to ensure that all procedure references can be resolved to a MAST root
//!    during final assembly.
//! 2. The _symbol resolver_, this is what is responsible for computing symbol resolutions using
//!    context-sensitive details about how a symbol is referenced. This context sensitivity is how
//!    we are able to provide better diagnostics when invalid references are found. The resolver
//!    shares part of it's implementation with the same infrastructure used for symbol resolution
//!    that is performed during semantic analysis - the difference is that at link-time, we are
//!    stricter about what happens when a symbol cannot be resolved correctly.
//! 3. A set of _rewrites_, applied to symbols/modules at link-time, which rewrite the AST so that
//!    all symbol references and constant expressions are fully resolved/folded. This is where any
//!    final issues are discovered, and the AST is prepared for lowering to MAST.

// LINKER
// ================================================================================================

/// The [`Linker`] is responsible for analyzing the input modules and libraries provided to the
/// assembler, and _linking_ them together.
///
/// The core conceptual data structure of the linker is the _module graph_, which is implemented
/// by a vector of module nodes, and a _call graph_, which is implemented as an adjacency matrix
/// of item nodes and the outgoing edges from those nodes, representing references from that item
/// to another symbol (typically as the result of procedure invocation, hence "call" graph).
///
/// Each item/symbol known to the linker is given a _global item index_, which is actually a pair
/// of indices: a _module index_ (which indexes into the vector of module nodes), and an _item
/// index_ (which indexes into the items defined by a module). These global item indices function
/// as a unique identifier within the linker, to a specific item, and can be resolved to either the
/// original syntax tree of the item, or to metadata about the item retrieved from previously-
/// assembled MAST.
///
/// The process of linking involves two phases:
///
/// 1. Setting up the linker context, by providing the set of inputs to link together
/// 2. Analyzing and rewriting the symbols known to the linker, as needed, to ensure that all symbol
///    references are resolved to concrete definitions.
///
/// The assembler will call [`Self::link`] once it has provided all inputs that it wants to link,
/// which will, when successful, return the set of module indices corresponding to the modules that
/// comprise the public interface of the assembled artifact. The assembler then constructs the MAST
/// starting from the exported procedures of those modules, recursively tracing the call graph
/// based on whether or not the callee is statically or dynamically linked. In the static linking
/// case, any procedures referenced in a statically-linked library or module will be included in
/// the assembled artifact. In the dynamic linking case, referenced procedures are instead
/// referenced in the assembled artifact only by their MAST root.
