Benjamin Bouvier ff37c9d8a4 [cranelift] Rejigger the compile API (#4540)
* Move `emit_to_memory` to `MachCompileResult`

This small refactoring makes it clearer to me that emitting to memory
doesn't require anything else from the compilation `Context`. While it's
a trivial change, it's a small public API change that shouldn't cause
too much trouble, and doesn't seem RFC-worthy. Happy to hear different
opinions about this, though!

* hide the MachCompileResult behind a method

* Add a `CompileError` wrapper type that references a `Function`

* Rename MachCompileResult to CompiledCode

* Additionally remove the last unsafe API in cranelift-codegen

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. The Module trait that defines a common interface for various kinds of modules. Most users will use one of the following Module implementations:

  • JITModule, provided by cranelift-jit, which JITs code to memory for direct execution.
  • ObjectModule, provided by cranelift-object, which emits native object files.
