1 //! The "main crate" of the Rust compiler. This crate contains common
2 //! type definitions that are used by the other crates in the rustc
3 //! "family". Some prominent examples (note that each of these modules
4 //! has their own README with further details).
6 //! - **HIR.** The "high-level (H) intermediate representation (IR)" is
7 //! defined in the `hir` module.
8 //! - **MIR.** The "mid-level (M) intermediate representation (IR)" is
9 //! defined in the `mir` module. This module contains only the
10 //! *definition* of the MIR; the passes that transform and operate
11 //! on MIR are found in `librustc_mir` crate.
12 //! - **Types.** The internal representation of types used in rustc is
13 //! defined in the `ty` module. This includes the **type context**
14 //! (or `tcx`), which is the central context during most of
15 //! compilation, containing the interners and other things.
16 //! - **Traits.** Trait resolution is implemented in the `traits` module.
17 //! - **Type inference.** The type inference code can be found in the `infer` module;
18 //! this code handles low-level equality and subtyping operations. The
19 //! type check pass in the compiler is found in the `librustc_typeck` crate.
21 //! For more information about how rustc works, see the [rustc guide].
23 //! [rustc guide]: https://rust-lang.github.io/rustc-guide/
27 //! This API is completely unstable and subject to change.
