codegen/src/incremental_cache.rs

//! This module provides a set of primitives that allow implementing an incremental cache on top of
//! Cranelift, making it possible to reuse previous compiled artifacts for functions that have been
//! compiled previously.
//!
//! This set of operation is experimental and can be enabled using the Cargo feature
//! `incremental-cache`.
//!
//! This can bring speedups in different cases: change-code-and-immediately-recompile iterations
//! get faster, modules sharing lots of code can reuse each other's artifacts, etc.
//!
//! The three main primitives are the following:
//! - `compute_cache_key` is used to compute the cache key associated to a `Function`. This is
//! basically the content of the function, modulo a few things the caching system is resilient to.
//! - `serialize_compiled` is used to serialize the result of a compilation, so it can be reused
//! later on by...
//! - `try_finish_recompile`, which reads binary blobs serialized with `serialize_compiled`,
//! re-creating the compilation artifact from those.
//!
//! The `CacheStore` trait and `Context::compile_with_cache` method are provided as
//! high-level, easy-to-use facilities to make use of that cache, and show an example of how to use
//! the above three primitives to form a full incremental caching system.
