Required Methods

fn locale_resource(&self) -> &'static str

Locale resources for diagnostic messages - a string the content of the Fluent resource. Called before init so that all other functions are able to emit translatable diagnostics.

fn codegen_crate<'tcx>( &self, tcx: TyCtxt<'tcx>, metadata: EncodedMetadata, need_metadata_module: bool, ) -> Box<dyn Any>

fn join_codegen( &self, ongoing_codegen: Box<dyn Any>, sess: &Session, outputs: &OutputFilenames, ) -> (CodegenResults, FxIndexMap<WorkProductId, WorkProduct>)

This is called on the returned Box<dyn Any> from codegen_backend

Panics

Panics when the passed Box<dyn Any> was not returned by codegen_backend.

fn link( &self, sess: &Session, codegen_results: CodegenResults, outputs: &OutputFilenames, ) -> Result<(), ErrorGuaranteed>

This is called on the returned CodegenResults from join_codegen

Provided Methods

fn init(&self, _sess: &Session)

fn print(&self, _req: &PrintRequest, _out: &mut String, _sess: &Session)

fn target_features(&self, _sess: &Session, _allow_unstable: bool) -> Vec<Symbol>

fn print_passes(&self)

fn print_version(&self)

fn metadata_loader(&self) -> Box<MetadataLoaderDyn>

The metadata loader used to load rlib and dylib metadata.

Alternative codegen backends may want to use different rlib or dylib formats than the default native static archives and dynamic libraries.

fn provide(&self, _providers: &mut Providers)

fn supports_parallel(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this backend can be safely called from multiple threads.

Defaults to true.
