//! # `rustc_public` — A Public Interface to `rustc`
//!
//! This crate provides a public API for querying and analyzing Rust programs through the
//! compiler's internal representations. It is designed for third-party tools such as
//! verification engines, linters, and code generators that need access to type information,
//! MIR bodies, monomorphized instances, and ABI details.
//!
//! The goal is to publish this crate on [crates.io](https://crates.io) with semver
//! guarantees. For more details on the proposed plan, see
//! <https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/949>.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! For now, the entry point is the [`run!`] macro, which sets up the compiler session and provides
//! access to the API within a callback. All queries must be performed inside this callback
//! since the data structures are tied to the compiler's thread-local state.
//!
//! ```rust,ignore (requires compiler session)
//! use rustc_public::*;
//! use std::ops::ControlFlow;
//!
//! let result = run!(args, || -> ControlFlow<()> {
//!     // Find all crates with the same name (potential duplicates).
//!     for krate in external_crates() {
//!         let dupes = find_crates(&krate.name);
//!         if dupes.len() > 1 {
//!             println!("Warning: multiple versions of `{}`", krate.name);
//!         }
//!     }
//!     ControlFlow::Continue(())
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! ## Crate Discovery
//!
//! Use [`local_crate()`] to access the crate being compiled, [`external_crates()`] to list
//! dependencies, or [`find_crates()`] to search by name. Use [`entry_fn()`] to find the
//! program entry point, and [`all_local_items()`] to retrieve all local definitions.
//!
//! ## Status
//!
//! This API is not yet published and is still subject to breaking changes.
//! For more information, see <https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_public>.
