You will need to add the following as replacement for the old __rust_*
definitions when not using the alloc shim.
#[no_mangle]
static __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable: u8 = 0;

Cranelift codegen backend for rust
The goal of this project is to create an alternative codegen backend for the rust compiler based on Cranelift. This has the potential to improve compilation times in debug mode. If your project doesn't use any of the things listed under "Not yet supported", it should work fine. If not please open an issue.
Building and testing
$ git clone https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ cd rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ ./y.rs prepare
$ ./y.rs build
To run the test suite replace the last command with:
$ ./test.sh
For more docs on how to build and test see build_system/usage.txt or the help message of ./y.rs.
Alternatively you can download a pre built version from the releases page.
Usage
rustc_codegen_cranelift can be used as a near-drop-in replacement for cargo build or cargo run for existing projects.
Assuming $cg_clif_dir is the directory you cloned this repo into and you followed the instructions (y.rs prepare and y.rs build or test.sh).
In the directory with your project (where you can do the usual cargo build), run:
$ $cg_clif_dir/dist/cargo-clif build
This will build your project with rustc_codegen_cranelift instead of the usual LLVM backend.
For additional ways to use rustc_codegen_cranelift like the JIT mode see usage.md.
Configuration
See the documentation on the BackendConfig struct in config.rs for all
configuration options.
Not yet supported
- Inline assembly (no cranelift support)
- On UNIX there is support for invoking an external assembler for
global_asm!andasm!.
- On UNIX there is support for invoking an external assembler for
- SIMD (tracked here,
std::simdfully works,std::archis partially supported) - Unwinding on panics (no cranelift support,
-Cpanic=abortis enabled by default)
