I've tracked down a few things that are preventing this from happening.
packed_structrequires std by default- There are a few uses of std in
cranelift-codegenandcranelift-codegen-sharedthat can be replaced with core or alloc.thiserrorrequires std, because the Error trait doesn't exist in core or alloc.The first two are trivial to fix, and I'll create a PR with those changes in a second.
However, there are 11 uses of the
DisplayandInto<result::CodegenError>traits that prevent me from placingthiserrorbehind a feature gate, and I'm not sure what to do about them.<details>

GitHub (Feb 21 2020 at 14:34):IcyDefiance edited a comment on Issue #1261:
I got cranelift-wasm and its dependencies (including cranelift-codegen) to compile with no_std in my fork. To do so, I had to fork thiserror and v0.48.2 of wasmparser (there have been breaking changes since then).
I also copied the
extern crate alloc as std;line from cranelift-wasm to cranelift-codegen, and eliminated all direct use of alloc there. (It also reduced the changes I had to make to thiserror.) Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to do the same thing with core.Considering the current lack of interest in supporting no_std, as expressed in my PR, I won't bother making any new PRs. However, they're good enough for the project I'm playing with, so they may also be useful to someone else, and they may be informative if there is any future interest in supporting no_std.

Sorry we didn't get back to you earlier, things have been a bit hectic lately, and no-std support is not checked in automation, so it's definitely something we may break a lot. The main issue here was finding a proper core reviewer for your work; if there's someone who could chime in and review such changes, it would be definitely helpful. And then, we could reopen your PR here and in other places and take your changes, if you were so inclined.

(Of course, that also depends on the
thiserrorchanges being properly integrated upstream, which might be another hill to climb.)
GitHub (Feb 21 2020 at 18:48):IcyDefiance commented on Issue #1261:
By "lack of interest" I was referring to Alex's comment in my PR, but if that's not the case then I can make some new PRs later today. I'll start with thiserror and wasmparser and see how it goes.
GitHub (Feb 24 2020 at 17:10):bnjbvr commented on Issue #1261:
It's nice to be able to experiment on a smaller crate like
wasmparser(since we're the same authors), to have a precise idea of what the code would look like in the end, what's the best strategy to implement this (useno-std-compator something else). Once that's done, we agreed we could also port the whole Cranelift crate to no-std support, using the methods learned during the port ofwasmparser. Hope this makes sense!

Opened https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmparser/issues/198 . I'm proposing not depend on structures that require memory allocations (this means no hashbrown )
... using the methods learned during the port of wasmparser
These ideas might not be applied here
