Pat Hickey 89d741f8ae upgrade to target-lexicon 0.8.0
* the target-lexicon crate no longer has or needs the std feature
  in cargo, so we can delete all default-features=false, any mentions
  of its std feature, and the nostd configs in many lib.rs files
* the representation of arm architectures has changed, so some case
  statements needed refactoring

This crate provides module-level functionality, which allow multiple functions and data to be emitted with Cranelift and then linked together.

This crate is structured as an optional layer on top of cranelift-codegen. It provides additional functionality, such as linking, however users that require greater flexibility don't need to use it.

A Module is a collection of functions and data objects that are linked together. Backend is a trait that defines an interface for backends that compile modules into various forms. Most users will use one of the following Backend implementations:

  • SimpleJITBackend, provided by cranelift-simplejit, which JITs code to memory for direct execution.
  • FaerieBackend, provided by cranelift-faerie, which emits native object files.
