The readme says that cretonne is supposed to be a code generator for WebAssembly, but it's a bit unclear what that means, seeing how there doesn't appear to be anything to actually do with wasm in the code.
- I heard that cretonne is meant to have inter-procedural optimizations as another layer built over top. Is this true, and always going to be the case?
- Does another tool to translate wasm to cretonne IR need to be built in order to generate code for wasm?
- Is it in scope for cretonne to output to wasm, or is it only intended to output to native code? (e.g. will I be able to use cretonne as a pure-rust binaryen alternative?)
- Is cretonne meant to be useful in both JIT and AOT configurations?
Preferably, the readme or documentation should be able to answer these questions.
