# Work in progress cranelift codegen backend for rust
> ⚠⚠⚠ This doesn't do anything useful yet ⚠⚠⚠
## Building
```bash
2018-07-18 06:35:03 -05:00
$ git clone https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift.git
$ cd rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ rustup override set nightly
$ git submodule update --init
$ cargo build
```
## Usage
```bash
$ rustc -Zcodegen-backend=$(pwd)/target/debug/librustc_codegen_cranelift.so my_crate.rs --crate-type lib -Og
```
> You must compile with `-Og`, because checked binops are not yet supported.

## Building libcore
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.git
$ cd rust
$ git apply ../0001-Disable-stdsimd-in-libcore.patch
$ git apply ../0002-Disable-u128-and-i128-in-libcore.patch
$ cd ../
$ ./build.sh
```
> ⚠⚠⚠ You will get a panic because of unimplemented stuff ⚠⚠⚠
