@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ llvm-ir`). `--build-type=debug` emits code for debug builds. There are also
other useful options. Also, debug info in LLVM IR can clutter the output a lot:
`RUSTFLAGS="-C debuginfo=0"` is really useful.
`RUSTFLAGS="-C save-temps"` outputs LLVM bitcode (not the same as IR) at
`RUSTFLAGS="-C save-temps"` outputs LLVM bitcode at
different stages during compilation, which is sometimes useful. The output LLVM
bitcode will be in `.bc` files in the compiler's output directory, set via the
`--out-dir DIR` argument to `rustc`.
