 # High-Level Compiler Architecture

 The remaining parts of this guide discuss how the compiler works. They go
 through everything from high-level structure of the compiler to how each stage
 of compilation works. They should be friendly to both readers interested in the
 end-to-end process of compilation _and_ readers interested in learning about a
 specific system they wish to contribute to. If anything is unclear, feel free
 to file an issue on the [rustc-dev-guide
 repo](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues) or contact the compiler
 team, as detailed in [this chapter from Part 1](./compiler-team.md).

 In this part, we will look at the high-level architecture of the compiler. In
 particular, we will look at three overarching design choices that impact the
 whole compiler: the query system, incremental compilation, and interning.
