1//! The headers the compiler ships, and the directory they appear to live in.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/04-driver-and-cli.md` section 4.4.
4//!
5//! A hosted C implementation is two halves. The library ships `<stdio.h>` and everything that
6//! declares a function you link against. The compiler ships the handful of headers whose
7//! contents are not the library's to know: `<stdarg.h>` is the target's calling convention,
8//! `<limits.h>` and `<float.h>` are the target's types, and `<stddef.h>` is the ABI. No
9//! library can write those, which is why every compiler carries its own copies and why a
10//! compiler that carries none cannot preprocess a program as ordinary as SQLite.
11//!
12//! They are in the binary rather than on disk. A compiler that has to find its own
13//! installation directory before it can preprocess a file is a compiler that stops working
14//! when it is copied somewhere else, and a single static binary that works from anywhere is
15//! worth more here than the ability to edit a header without rebuilding.
16//!
17//! Since they are not on disk they need a name, because the search path is a list of
18//! directories and a diagnostic has to be able to say where a header came from. That name is
19//! [`DIR`], and the angle brackets are the point: no directory a user can create is spelled
20//! that way, so nothing on the real file system can shadow these or be shadowed by them.
