Compilation stages in rust

Hi Team,
I an very much interested to know the compilation stages in case of rust. Means when i run rustc <file.rs> at that time what are the stages involved. How can i see all the stages and files. Like in C language i can see pre-processer file, object file. So similarly how can i see in rust as well. Would be very much helpful if any document or link present with explanation.
Thank you

I think people over at internals.rust-lang.org would be better equipped to answer this question, as it pertains to how the compiler operates.

The rustc guide might be useful, especially overview of the compiler.

For intermediate files, you could use rustc -Csave-temps, as well as various --emit options (see --help).

Thank you this document is good. I will go to this document.

The rust compiler does not have stages in the traditional sense. I recommend reading through Queries: demand-driven compilation - Guide to Rustc Development.
