<h1 id="writing-tools-in-bootstrap"><a class="header" href="#writing-tools-in-bootstrap">Writing tools in Bootstrap</a></h1>
<p>There are three types of tools you can write in bootstrap:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong><code>Mode::ToolBootstrap</code></strong>
Use this for tools that dont need anything from the in-tree compiler and can run with the stage0 <code>rustc</code>.
The output is placed in the "bootstrap-tools" directory. This mode is for general-purpose tools built
entirely with the stage0 compiler, including target libraries and only works for stage 0.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong><code>Mode::ToolStd</code></strong>
Use this for tools that rely on the locally built std. The output goes into the "stageN-tools" directory.
This mode is rarely used, mainly for <code>compiletest</code> which requires <code>libtest</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong><code>Mode::ToolRustc</code></strong>
Use this for tools that depend on both the locally built <code>rustc</code> and the target <code>std</code>. This is more complex than
the other modes because the tool must be built with the same compiler used for <code>rustc</code> and placed in the "stageN-tools"
directory. When you choose <code>Mode::ToolRustc</code>, <code>ToolBuild</code> implementation takes care of this automatically.
If you need to use the builders compiler for something specific, you can get it from <code>ToolBuildResult</code>, which is
returned by the tool's <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/bootstrap/core/builder/trait.Step.html"><code>Step</code></a>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Regardless of the tool type you must return <code>ToolBuildResult</code> from the tools <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/bootstrap/core/builder/trait.Step.html"><code>Step</code></a> implementation and use <code>ToolBuild</code> inside it.</p>
