Constants
The constant pool defined here allows Cranelift to avoid emitting the same constant multiple times. As constants are inserted in the pool, a handle is returned; the handle is a Cranelift Entity. Inserting the same data multiple times will always return the same handle.
Future work could include:
- ensuring alignment of constants within the pool,
- bucketing constants by size.
Structsยง
- This type describes the actual constant data. Note that the bytes stored in this structure are expected to be in little-endian order; this is due to ease-of-use when interacting with WebAssembly values, which are little-endian by design.
- Maintains the mapping between a constant handle (i.e.
Constant) and its constant data (i.e.ConstantData).
