1//! Instruction encoders, the integrated assembler, inline assembly and relaxation.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/11-asm-objects-debug.md`. Layer rank 10, see `spec/18-package-layout.md`.
4//!
5//! # Status
6//!
7//! What is written are the two things a compiler does with a machine function: the assembly text
8//! `-S` produces, which is [`print()`], and the bytes of a text section, which is [`assemble`].
9//! Section 11.1 asks for one instruction description behind both, and there is one: the walk over
10//! a function is the same walk in both files, reading the same list out of `rucc-target`, and the
11//! only difference is whether an instruction is written down by name or handed to the encoder. So
12//! the listing and the object file cannot come to disagree about what an instruction is.
13//!
14//! What [`assemble`] hands back with the bytes is what the linker has to be told: where each
15//! function starts and how long it is, and every place in the bytes that names something this
16//! file does not contain. The jumps inside a function are not among them, because by the end of a
17//! function every block has a place and they are filled in here.
18//!
19//! The variables a file defines are here for the same reason and in the same shape. [`globals`] is
20//! the one walk over a module's globals, and what it gives back is a list of pieces that
21//! [`print()`] writes down as directives and [`Globals::image`] writes down as bytes, so a `.long`
22//! in a listing and the four bytes in the object beside it cannot come to disagree either. Where a
23//! variable goes is worked out there rather than named by the front end, and what a section is
24//! called is the object format's business.
25//!
26//! The assembler that reads `.s` and `.S`, inline assembly and relaxation are the rest of M3 and
27//! M4 and are not here yet.
28//!
29//! Every crate in the workspace is published, and publishing implies a promise. This one is
30//! tier 3: its Rust API is explicitly unstable and will change without a major version bump.
31//! Depend on the `rucc` binary's behaviour, not on this.
