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.
