- We then begin what is vaguely called _code generation_ or _codegen_.

- The [code generation stage (codegen)][codegen] is when higher level
|
||||
representations of source are turned into an executable binary. `rustc`
|
||||
uses LLVM for code generation. The first step is the MIR is then
|
||||
converted to LLVM Intermediate Representation (LLVM IR). This is where
|

the MIR is actually monomorphized, according to the list we created in
|

the previous step.

- The LLVM IR is passed to LLVM, which does a lot more optimizations on it.
|

It then emits machine code. It is basically assembly code with additional
|
||||
low-level types and annotations added. (e.g. an ELF object or wasm).
