Instruction selection, scheduling, block layout, frames and prologue emission.
Documentation
//! The x86-64 lowering table.
//!
//! Everything below the module comment is generated from `rules/x86-64.rules` by `rucc-rules`
//! when this crate is built, and none of it is in the repository. The rule file is the only
//! place the rules are written, which is what makes the table that is matched with and the
//! table `rucc-verify` proves things about the same table.
//!
//! To read the rules, read the rule file. To read the automaton they compile into, build the
//! crate and read `x86-64.rs` under the build directory, which is a file worth looking at once
//! for the shape of it and never again.

// A guard is emitted as the comparison the rule writes, so a rule saying a shift count is at
// least zero and less than the width comes out as two comparisons rather than as a range. That
// is deliberate: the generated line and the rule it came from should read the same, and the
// suggestion to write it another way is advice for somebody editing code, which nobody here is.
