**A hacker's guide to rustc**
*Daniel Cumming*
In this presentation, we will examine the Rust compiler itself, and what methods we have to edit and interact with it. We will look at the `rustc_driver` and `rustc_interface` modules, and how to call them from inside our own Rust program to have compiled Rust code call `rustc` (Rust-ception). We will look at the interfaces available to interrupt the Rust compilation process and inject our own code through `Callbacks`, or extract internal representations for analysis. We will also look at some projects that replace the code generation of Rust with their custom code generation through the `CodegenBackend` trait. Lastly, we will touch on directly ~~hacking~~ editing the Rust compiler itself, and how to configure the repository for incremental compilation for efficiency.

**Lightning Talks**
This month we'll open the floor to lightning talks by attendees.

* 5-10 minutes on any Rust-related topic
* Code/slides optional
* What are you working on? Enjoying using? Excited about?
* Have you spotted a useful crate, technique, or idiom to share?

No advance notice or planning is required for lighting talks.
