This adds a `DummyConstant` structure that is converted to something like `let const0 = pos.func.dfg.constants.insert(...)` in `gen_legalizer.rs`. This allows us to create constants during legalization with something like `let ones = constant(vec![0xff; 16])` and then use `ones` within a `def!` block, e.g.: `def!(a = vconst(ones))`. One unfortunate side-effect of this change is that, because the names of the constants in `ConstPool` are dynamic, the `VarPool` and `SymbolTable` structures that previously operated on `&'static str` types now must operate on `String` types; however, since this is a change to the meta code-generation, it should result in no runtime performance impact.
This crate contains the core Cranelift code generator. It translates code from an intermediate representation into executable machine code.
