When a load/store instruction needs an address of the form `v0 + uextend(v1)` or `v0 + sextend(v1)` (or the commuted forms thereof), we currently generate a separate zero/sign-extend operation and then use a plain `[rA, rB]` addressing mode. This patch extends `lower_address()` to look at both addends of an address if it has two addends and a zero offset, recognize extension operations, and incorporate them directly into a `[rA, rB, UXTW]` or `[rA, rB, SXTW]` form. This should improve our performence on WebAssembly workloads, at least, because we often see a 64-bit linear memory base indexed by a 32-bit (Wasm) pointer value.
This crate contains the core Cranelift code generator. It translates code from an intermediate representation into executable machine code.
