rucc_target/

lib.rs

//! Target descriptions: triples, and the facts about a target that the rest of the
//! compiler reads rather than hard-codes.
//!
//! Design: `spec/12-abi-and-runtime.md`. Layer rank 1, see `spec/18-package-layout.md`.
//!
//! The rule from `spec/18-package-layout.md` section 18.2 is that there is no
//! target-specific code outside this crate and the per-target rule sets. Everything a pass
//! needs to know about a target is a field it can read here. That rule is what makes the
//! claim in `spec/10-backend.md` testable, namely that a new target is a rule set and a few
//! data files, and `M10` brings up a fourth target specifically to put a number on it.
//!
//! # Status
//!
//! Triple parsing and the basic data model are real, which is what `rucc --print-config`
//! reports. Register files, machine models and the full ABI descriptions land in `M3`
//! and `M6`.
//!
//! 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.
