How can I allocate these on heap and get a reference to it?
Afonso Bordado (Aug 07 2022 at 13:06):Cranelift doesen't have those types natively.
However you allocate the memory in rust and pass a pointer as a i64 and do a load on it
Afonso Bordado (Aug 07 2022 at 13:06):We do have a heap mechanism, but that is mostly to try to sandbox heap accesses, if you don't need that, I think (I may be wrong here) you can ignore it.
Afonso Bordado (Aug 07 2022 at 13:07):If you need to allocate memory from clif, you can link malloc or some other memory allocating function and call that.
