Prevent name collisions with internal implementation details The implementation of the linkage attribute inside extern blocks defines symbols starting with _rust_extern_with_linkage_. If someone tries to also define this symbol you will get a symbol conflict or even an ICE. By adding an unpredictable component to the symbol name, this becomes less of an issue. Spawned from the discussion at [#t-compiler > About static variables `_rust_extern_with_linkage_*`](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/131828-t-compiler/topic/About.20static.20variables.20.60_rust_extern_with_linkage_*.60) cc `@ywxt` Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/144940
The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
