gccrs
is an alternative implementation of a Rust compiler currently being developed. It
aims to become a fully fledged Rust compiler, and hopes to share as much code as possible
with the official Rust compiler in order to guarantee correctness and avoid damage on the Rust
ecosystem. But how do we plan to integrate Rust components to the GCC codebase, and what sort
of components will we reuse? This talk will explore the future of the project, as well as some
of the challenges surrounding compilers, and the very silly sounding but real problems of
bootstrapping and dogfooding. We will explore the stack of rustc
crates that we leverage,
how we use them together, and how they will play a part once the compiler has advanced further.
