Exit nonzero on rustc -Wall Previously `rustc -Wall /dev/null` would print a paragraph explaining that `-Wall` is not a thing in Rust, but would then exit 0. I believe exiting 0 is not the right behavior. For something like `rustc --version` or `rustc --help` or `rustc -C help` the user is requesting rustc to print some information; rustc prints that information and exits 0 because what the user requested has been accomplished. In the case of `rustc -Wall path/to/main.rs`, I don't find it correct to conceptualize this as "the user requested rustc to print information about the fact that Wall doesn't exist". The user requested a particular thing, and despite rustc knowing what they probably meant and informing them about that, the thing they requested has *not* been accomplished. Thus a nonzero exit code is needed. |

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.
