Found with https://github.com/est31/warnalyzer. Dubious changes: - Is anyone else using rustc_apfloat? I feel weird completely deleting x87 support. - Maybe some of the dead code in rustc_data_structures, in case someone wants to use it in the future? - Don't change rustc_serialize I plan to scrap most of the json module in the near future (see https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/418) and fixing the tests needed more work than I expected. TODO: check if any of the comments on the deleted code should be kept.
The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
