Description
This is a tracking issue for adding a Stable compiler driver that tools can use to extend the Rust compiler. This would replace the existing rustc_smir::run!() macro.
Tasks
- Create a Stable driver interface.
- Optional: Logger customization.
- Add support for tools arguments to the Rust compiler that could be passed along to the driver (similar to
--llvm-args). - Allow users to hook into different stages of the compilation

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing rustc_smir::run!() macro and the tracking issue's four tasks. Define the scope and design of a stable compiler driver, including optional logger customization, forwarded tool arguments, and hooks into compilation stages; done means these capabilities are specified and implemented.
