hax_rust_engine/backends.rs
1//! Code generation backends.
2//!
3//! A backend is consititued of:
4//! - a list of AST transformations to apply, those are called phases.
5//! - and a printer.
6//!
7//! This top-level module is mostly an index of available backends and a
8//! small prelude to make backend modules concise.
9//!
10//! # Adding a new backend
11//! 1. Create a submodule under `src/backends/`, e.g. `foo.rs`.
12//! 2. Put your printer and backend there.
13//! 3. Re-export it here with `pub mod foo;`.
14//!
15//! See [`rust`] for an example implementation.

34/// - a sequence of AST transformation phases, and
35/// - a printer that generates textual output.
36///
37/// For example, we have F\*, Coq, and Lean backends.
38/// Some are still in the old OCaml engine.
