The Wasm SIMD specification has added new instructions that allow inserting to the lane of a vector from a memory location, and conversely, extracting from a lane of a vector to a memory location. The simplest implementation lowers these instructions, `load[8|16|32|64]_lane` and `store[8|16|32|64]_lane`, to a sequence of either `load + insertlane` or `extractlane + store` (in CLIF). With the new backend's pattern matching, we expect these CLIF sequences to compile as a single machine instruction (at least in x64).
This crate performs the translation from a wasm module in binary format to the in-memory form of the Cranelift IR.
