This is a cherry-pick of a long-ago commit, 2d46637. The original message reads: > Now that `SyntheticAmode` can refer to constants, there is no longer a > need for a separate instruction format--standard load instructions will > work. Since then, the transition to ISLE and the use of `XmmLoadConst` in many more places makes this change a larger diff than the original. The basic idea is the same, though: the extra indirection of `Inst::XMmLoadConst` is removed and replaced by a direct use of `VCodeConstant` as a `SyntheticAmode`. This has no effect on codegen, but the CLIF output is now clearer in that the actual instruction is displayed (e.g., `movdqu`) instead of a made-up instruction (`load_const`).
This crate contains the core Cranelift code generator. It translates code from an intermediate representation into executable machine code.
