rust/compiler/rustc_driver_impl
History
Nicholas Nethercote 5c462a32bd Remove support for compiler plugins. 
They've been deprecated for four years.

This commit includes the following changes.
- It eliminates the `rustc_plugin_impl` crate.
- It changes the language used for lints in
  `compiler/rustc_driver_impl/src/lib.rs` and
  `compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs`. External lints are now called
  "loaded" lints, rather than "plugins" to avoid confusion with the old
  plugins. This only has a tiny effect on the output of `-W help`.
- E0457 and E0498 are no longer used.
- E0463 is narrowed, now only relating to unfound crates, not plugins.
- The `plugin` feature was moved from "active" to "removed".
- It removes the entire plugins chapter from the unstable book.
- It removes quite a few tests, mostly all of those in
  `tests/ui-fulldeps/plugin/`.

Closes #29597.

README.md

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
