//! Legalize instructions.
//!
//! A legal instruction is one that can be mapped directly to a machine code instruction for the
//! target ISA. The `legalize_function()` function takes as input any function and transforms it
//! into an equivalent function using only legal instructions.
//!
//! The characteristics of legal instructions depend on the target ISA, so any given instruction
//! can be legal for one ISA and illegal for another.
//!
//! Besides transforming instructions, the legalizer also fills out the `function.encodings` map
//! which provides a legal encoding recipe for every instruction.
//!
//! The legalizer does not deal with register allocation constraints. These constraints are derived
//! from the encoding recipes, and solved later by the register allocator.

// integer types such as `i64` used on a 32-bit ISA. ().

// typically means expressing `i8` and `i16` arithmetic in terms if `i32`
// operations on RISC targets. (It may or may not be beneficial to promote
// small vector types versus splitting them.)
