lib.rs

//! The driver: command line parsing, the phase graph, job scheduling and the linker
//! invocation.
//!
//! Design: `spec/04-driver-and-cli.md`. Layer rank 13, see `spec/18-package-layout.md`.
//!
//! This is the only crate that is allowed to know the process exists. It reads the command
//! line, touches the file system, spawns the linker and writes to the terminal, and it hands
//! everything below it a [`Session`]. The binary crate is a `main` that calls
//! [`run`] and nothing else, so that the whole driver is reachable from a test.
//!
//! # Status
//!
//! `--help`, `--version` and `--print-config` are real, which is the `M0` exit criterion in
//! `spec/17-milestones.md`. The phase graph is real and `-###` prints it, and the scheduler
//! that will run it is real and tested.
//!
//! Two phases run. `-E` reads the file, runs phase 4 over it and writes the result, to `-o` or
//! to standard output. `--emit=tast` carries on through phase 7, the parse and the checking,
//! and writes the typed tree. The flags those two read are real with them, which is `-D`, `-U`,
//! `-I`, `-I-`, `-iquote`, `-isystem`, `-idirafter`, `-iprefix`, `-iwithprefix`,
//! `-iwithprefixbefore`, `-include`, `-imacros`, `--sysroot=`, `-isysroot`, `-P`, `-std=`,
//! `-fgnuc-version=`, `-ansi`, `-ffreestanding`, `-fno-builtin`, `-fno-builtin-<name>`,
//! `-fgnu89-inline`, `-pedantic` and `-Werror`.
//! The phases after them still say they are not implemented.
//!
//! This crate is tier 3 in `spec/18-package-layout.md` section 18.5: its Rust API is
//! explicitly unstable and will change without a major version bump.

        // and the questions `configure` asks before it compiles anything. The one it went up by
        // last is the second line of `--emit`, whose kinds are a family that has now outgrown
        // one line and has nowhere else to go. The two it went up by last are the dependency

        // went up by last is the four spellings of position independent code, which every
        // configure script writes and which could only have shared the link line, and that line
        // is already four characters short of the limit. The two it went up by last are the rest
        // of the include family, which is six more flags that change where a header is looked for
        // and two that name a header outright. The one it went up by last is the pair that keeps
        // the intermediate files and times the steps, which belong next to the two flags above
        // them that are also about watching a compilation rather than changing one. The two it
        // went up by last are the section flags and the visibility flag, which are what a build
        // that cares about the size of what it ships and about which names it exports writes, and
        // the second of them was already taken and only missing from here. The one it went up by
        // last is the stack protector, which is four spellings of one question and which every
        // distribution puts on every command line it issues, so a build that reads this list
        // looking for it and does not find it has to go and read the specification instead. The one
        // it went up by last is the profiler, which is two spellings of the request and two of
        // where the call goes, and which is about watching a program run rather than about what is
        // generated, so it shares its subject with nothing above it.
