1 //! Interface of a Rust codegen backend
3 //! This crate defines all the traits that have to be implemented by a codegen backend in order to
4 //! use the backend-agnostic codegen code in `rustc_codegen_ssa`.
6 //! The interface is designed around two backend-specific data structures, the codegen context and
7 //! the builder. The codegen context is supposed to be read-only after its creation and during the
8 //! actual codegen, while the builder stores the information about the function during codegen and
9 //! is used to produce the instructions of the backend IR.
11 //! Finaly, a third `Backend` structure has to implement methods related to how codegen information
12 //! is passed to the backend, especially for asynchronous compilation.
14 //! The traits contain associated types that are backend-specific, such as the backend's value or
