//! Implementation of rustbuild, the Rust build system.
//!
//! This module, and its descendants, are the implementation of the Rust build
//! system. Most of this build system is backed by Cargo but the outer layer
//! here serves as the ability to orchestrate calling Cargo, sequencing Cargo
//! builds, building artifacts like LLVM, etc. The goals of rustbuild are:
//!
//! * To be an easily understandable, easily extensible, and maintainable build
//!   system.
//! * Leverage standard tools in the Rust ecosystem to build the compiler, aka
//!   crates.io and Cargo.
//! * A standard interface to build across all platforms, including MSVC
//!
//! ## Architecture
//!
//! Although this build system defers most of the complicated logic to Cargo
//! itself, it still needs to maintain a list of targets and dependencies which
//! it can itself perform. Rustbuild is made up of a list of rules with
//! dependencies amongst them (created in the `step` module) and then knows how
//! to execute each in sequence. Each time rustbuild is invoked, it will simply
//! iterate through this list of steps and execute each serially in turn.  For
//! each step rustbuild relies on the step internally being incremental and
//! parallel. Note, though, that the `-j` parameter to rustbuild gets forwarded
//! to appropriate test harnesses and such.
//!
//! Most of the "meaty" steps that matter are backed by Cargo, which does indeed
//! have its own parallelism and incremental management. Later steps, like
//! tests, aren't incremental and simply run the entire suite currently.
//!
//! When you execute `x.py build`, the steps which are executed are:
//!
//! * First, the python script is run. This will automatically download the
//!   stage0 rustc and cargo according to `src/stage0.txt`, or using the cached
//!   versions if they're available. These are then used to compile rustbuild
//!   itself (using Cargo). Finally, control is then transferred to rustbuild.
//!
//! * Rustbuild takes over, performs sanity checks, probes the environment,
//!   reads configuration, builds up a list of steps, and then starts executing
//!   them.
//!
//! * The stage0 libstd is compiled
//! * The stage0 libtest is compiled
//! * The stage0 librustc is compiled
//! * The stage1 compiler is assembled
//! * The stage1 libstd, libtest, librustc are compiled
//! * The stage2 compiler is assembled
//! * The stage2 libstd, libtest, librustc are compiled
//!
//! Each step is driven by a separate Cargo project and rustbuild orchestrates
//! copying files between steps and otherwise preparing for Cargo to run.
//!
//! ## Further information
//!
//! More documentation can be found in each respective module below, and you can
//! also check out the `src/bootstrap/README.md` file for more information.
