This is the conceptual opposite of the rust-cold calling convention and
is particularly useful in combination with the new `explicit_tail_calls`
feature.
For relatively tight loops implemented with tail calling (`become`) each
of the function with the regular calling convention is still responsible
for restoring the initial value of the preserved registers. So it is not
unusual to end up with a situation where each step in the tail call loop
is spilling and reloading registers, along the lines of:
foo:
push r12
; do things
pop r12
jmp next_step
This adds up quickly, especially when most of the clobberable registers
are already used to pass arguments or other uses.
I was thinking of making the name of this ABI a little less LLVM-derived
and more like a conceptual inverse of `rust-cold`, but could not come
with a great name (`rust-cold` is itself not a great name: cold in what
context? from which perspective? is it supposed to mean that the
function is rarely called?)
rust-analyzer is a language server that provides IDE functionality for writing Rust programs. You can use it with any editor that supports the Language Server Protocol (VS Code, Vim, Emacs, Zed, etc).
rust-analyzer features include go-to-definition, find-all-references, refactorings and code completion. rust-analyzer also supports integrated formatting (with rustfmt) and integrated diagnostics (with rustc and clippy).
Internally, rust-analyzer is structured as a set of libraries for analyzing Rust code. See Architecture in the manual.
