The name resolution is a separate pass in the compiler. Its input is the syntax
tree, produced by parsing input files. It produces links from all the names in
the source to relevant places where the name was introduced. It also generates
helpful error messages, like typo suggestions or traits to import.
helpful error messages, like typo suggestions, traits to import or lints about
unused items.
A successful run of the name resolution (`Resolver::resolve_crate`) creates kind
of an index the rest of the compilation may use to ask about the present names
(through the `hir::lowering::Resolver` interface).
The name resolution lives in the `librustc_resolve` crate, with the meat in
`lib.rs` and some helpers or symbol-type specific logic in the other modules.
