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.

        // up by last is the split of the line that lists what this compiler does anyway into that
        // and what it assumes anyway, which are two different claims that were sharing a line until
        // the second of them got a second flag and the line stopped fitting. The one it went up by
        // last is the three flags that change the ABI rather than the code, which have to be given
        // to every file in a program or none of them and which therefore belong somewhere a person
        // reading this list will see them. The one it went up by last is the floating point group,
        // which is two lines rather than one because the first of them is a choice this compiler
        // records and the rest are claims about what it does anyway, and putting a real setting on
        // the same line as three flags that change nothing would be misleading about both. The one
        // it went up by last is the flag that says a write has to stay inside the member it names,
        // which is a setting rather than a claim and so cannot share the line above it, that being
        // the one that picks a tier. The two it went up by last are the prefix mapping family,
        // which is four flags whose whole job is to keep a build's output the same from two
        // different directories, and which a person chasing a reproducible build comes here
        // looking for by name. The one it went up by last is how the debug sections are compressed
        // and whether they go in a file of their own, which are two questions about the shape of
        // the debug output, where the line above them is about how much of it there is. The one it
        // went up by last is the `restrict` contract, which is a setting for the same reason the
        // flag that keeps a write inside its member is and which is the check a person who has been
        // bitten by a vectorizer comes here looking for. The one it went up by last is link time
        // optimization, which is a whole optimization rather than a flag and which says so on its
        // own line, because a build that passes it and reads this looking for what it got is
        // asking a question no other line here answers. The one it went up by last is the sysroot,
        // which is the question somebody asks when a cross build read a file nobody expected, and
        // which has no room on the line above it because the answers there are a path each and this
        // one is the root all of them are under. The one it went up by last is what is inside that
        // root and where each of it came from, which is a question about a whole tree rather than
        // about a path and which is long enough on its own that it could not have shared a line with
        // anything. The one it went up by last is the profile family, which splits down the middle
        // where no other family here does, so the line has to name the half that is taken and the
        // half that is refused or it would be read as taking both. The one it went up by last is
        // the sanitizers, which are what somebody reaching for a checked build writes first and
        // which belong beside the tier that is the nearest thing here to what they asked for. The
        // one it went up by last is the digest of that record, which is the same tree as one number
        // and could not share the line above it because that line prints a few hundred lines and
        // this one prints sixty four characters, and a reader who wants the short answer is looking
        // for it by name rather than reading the long one. The one it went up by last is the
        // sysroot fetch, which is the only command here that gets something from somewhere else and
        // is therefore the one a person wants to have read before they run it rather than after.
        // And the flag beside it that forbids every download, which earns its line by being what a
        // build in a sealed environment passes and by meaning something even though an ordinary
        // compile downloads nothing either way.
