codegen-lang 0.2.0

Backend abstraction targeting LLVM, Cranelift, or bytecode.
Documentation
//! Property tests: codegen must preserve meaning and produce structurally sound output.
//!
//! Random straight-line integer functions are generated as a small data-flow graph,
//! lowered, and run through the reference interpreter. The result is checked against an
//! independent evaluation of the same graph, and the emitted program is checked for the
//! invariants a backend must always uphold — every register in range, every jump
//! resolved.
