Cranelift crate documentation:
-
cranelift This is an umbrella crate that re-exports the codegen and frontend crates, to make them easier to use.
-
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 This crate contains the meta-language utilities and descriptions used by the code generator.
-
cranelift-wasm This crate translates WebAssembly code into Cranelift IR.
-
cranelift-frontend This crate provides utilities for translating code into Cranelift IR.
-
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 This crate translates from Cranelift IR's text format into Cranelift IR in in-memory data structures.
-
cranelift-module This crate manages compiling multiple functions and data objects together.
-
cranelift-object This crate provides a object-based backend for
cranelift-module, which emits native object files using theobject <https://github.com/gimli-rs/object>_ library. -
cranelift-simplejit This crate provides a simple JIT backend for
cranelift-module, which emits code and data into memory.
