lib.rs

//! The `Session`: the options, the interner and the diagnostic sink that every stage of a
//! single compilation is handed.
//!
//! Design: `spec/03-architecture.md` and `spec/04-driver-and-cli.md`. Layer rank 3, see
//! `spec/18-package-layout.md`.
//!
//! Everything below the driver reaches the outside world through this type and not through
//! `std::fs`, `std::env` or `println!`. That is the whole reason the compiler can be used as
//! a library and tested without spawning a process, and it is enforced by the layer rule
//! rather than by discipline.
//!
//! # Status
//!
//! Options, optimisation levels, emit kinds, diagnostic counting, the source map every span
//! is resolved against, the file system the compiler reads through, the include search path
//! and the headers the compiler itself ships are real. The parallel job model is still a
//! placeholder.
//!
//! 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.
