Tshepang Lekhonkhobe: Behind The Scenes Of Producing An Executable
summary
Shows the exact pipeline from cargo run to a working binary: parsing to AST, macro expansion, name resolution, lowering to HIR and MIR, borrow checking, then emission of LLVM IR and object code and the final link step. Demonstrates tool outputs and a tiny example that generates about 120 lines of RISC-V assembly, explains where checks and optimizations happen, and produces a runnable executable so the whole chain is verifiable.
