|
|
This page documents Cranelift's testing frameworks.
|
|
|
|
- [Cranelift compared to LLVM](compare-llvm.md)
|
|
LLVM and Cranelift have similarities and differences.

## Cranelift crate documentation:
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift](https://docs.rs/cranelift)
|
|
This is an umbrella crate that re-exports the codegen and frontend crates,
|
|
to make them easier to use.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-codegen](https://docs.rs/cranelift-codegen)
|
|
This is the core code generator crate. It takes Cranelift IR as input
|
|
and emits encoded machine instructions, along with symbolic relocations,
|
|
as output.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-codegen-meta](https://docs.rs/cranelift-codegen-meta)
|
|
This crate contains the meta-language utilities and descriptions used by the
|
|
code generator.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-wasm](https://docs.rs/cranelift-wasm)
|
|
This crate translates WebAssembly code into Cranelift IR.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-frontend](https://docs.rs/cranelift-frontend)
|
|
This crate provides utilities for translating code into Cranelift IR.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-native](https://docs.rs/cranelift-native)
|
|
This crate performs auto-detection of the host, allowing Cranelift to
|
|
generate code optimized for the machine it's running on.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-reader](https://docs.rs/cranelift-reader)
|
|
This crate translates from Cranelift IR's text format into Cranelift IR
|
|
in in-memory data structures.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-module](https://docs.rs/cranelift-module)
|
|
This crate manages compiling multiple functions and data objects
|
|
together.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-object](https://docs.rs/cranelift-object)
|
|
This crate provides a object-based backend for `cranelift-module`, which
|
|
emits native object files using the
|
|
`object <https://github.com/gimli-rs/object>`_ library.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-faerie](https://docs.rs/cranelift-faerie)
|
|
This crate provides a faerie-based backend for `cranelift-module`, which
|
|
emits native object files using the
|
|
`faerie <https://github.com/m4b/faerie>`_ library.
|
|
|
|
- [cranelift-simplejit](https://docs.rs/cranelift-simplejit)
|
|
This crate provides a simple JIT backend for `cranelift-module`, which
|
|
emits code and data into memory.
