 /// # Arguments
 /// * `db` - Preloaded compilation database.

-/// * `diagnostics_reporter` - The diagnostics reporter.
-/// * `config` - If true, the compilation will not fail if the program is not sound.
+/// * `executable` - The `ConcreteFunctionWithBodyId` to compile.
+/// * `config` - Executable compilation options (e.g., whether to allow syscalls/unsoundness).
+///
 /// # Returns
-/// * `Ok(Vec<String>)` - The result artifact of the compilation.
+/// * `Ok(CompileExecutableResult<'db>)` - The compiled function, runnable builder, and Sierra debug
+///   info.
 /// * `Err(anyhow::Error)` - Compilation failed.
