lower-ir-utils 0.1.0

Helpers for mapping Rust types to Cranelift JIT signatures, lowering call arguments, and reducing module boilerplate.
Documentation
//! Traits describing how Rust types map onto Cranelift's ABI.
//!
//! [`JitParam`] is type-level: it answers "what `AbiParam`s does this Rust type
//! contribute to a Cranelift `Signature`?". [`JitArg`] is value-level: it answers
//! "how do I lower this Rust value into one or more Cranelift `Value`s at a call site?".
//!
//! The two traits are intentionally independent — at a call site some arguments
//! come from already-lowered IR `Value`s (function parameters, prior instructions)
//! while others are constants embedded into the IR. The macros do not enforce a
//! correspondence between the signature types and the argument expressions; that
//! is the caller's responsibility, exactly as it would be for `bcx.ins().call`.

/// corresponding `JitArg::lower` implementation would emit.

/// Value-level mapping: a Rust value lowers into zero or more Cranelift `Value`s.
///
/// Implementations are provided for already-lowered `Value`s (passthrough),

/// (emitted as ptr+len constants), and raw pointers (emitted as `iconst`).
