Cranelift code generation comes to Rust [LWN.net] (lwn.net)

Rust Cranelift code-generation compilation Wasmtime WebAssembly E-graphs

Cranelift, an Apache-2.0-licensed code-generation backend developed for the Wasmtime runtime, has been made available for Rust as an optional component in its nightly toolchain since October 2023. Focusing on fast compilation by prioritizing essential optimizations, it uses E-graphs to efficiently address optimization challenges. Unlike many JIT compilers, Cranelift is suitable for non-WebAssembly projects, providing a promising alternative for Rust developers seeking quicker compilation times.
Main Points
- Cranelift available for RustCranelift is an Apache-2.0-licensed code-generation backend developed as part of the Wasmtime runtime for WebAssembly, available as an optional component in the Rust nightly toolchain since October 2023.
- Cranelift's fast compilation focusDesigned to compete with existing compilers, Cranelift prioritizes essential optimizations to generate code more quickly.
- E-graphs optimization approachCranelift uses E-graphs for optimization, addressing the phase-ordering problem more efficiently than traditional optimization methods.
- Cranelift's broader applicabilityCranelift supports non-WebAssembly projects, differing from many JIT compilers by not depending on fallback to an interpreter.
- Performance comparison with LLVMIn tests, Cranelift showed significantly faster compilation times than LLVM, with a study highlighting its performance benefits.
