bootstrap/core/build_steps/
synthetic_targets.rs

1//! In some cases, parts of bootstrap need to change part of a target spec just for one or a few
2//! steps. Adding these targets to rustc proper would "leak" this implementation detail of
3//! bootstrap, and would make it more complex to apply additional changes if the need arises.
4//!
5//! To address that problem, this module implements support for "synthetic targets". Synthetic
6//! targets are custom target specs generated using builtin target specs as their base. You can use
7//! one of the target specs already defined in this module, or create new ones by adding a new step
8//! that calls create_synthetic_target.
