Interesting; given the choice between judging performance by instructions-retired and judging performance by cycles, let's take the latter since it's what the user sees; so we have slower (pulldown-cmark), no...

We've definitely talked about this sort of thing before. I think the root issue is actually that we have ctors that communicate a predicate by their truthy return value *as...

> I think we should preserve the current behavior of if and migrate away from it over time. I'm usually very much in favor of this sort of approach (see:...

I definitely think this would be a welcome change! As you know I've been saying similar things for a while; my take is that extractors can be lowered somehow to...

Hi @farnoy, This is a really interesting question! I've thought about it for a bit and I can't come up with any simple and fully general solutions, but maybe there's...

From the part of the DAG shown above, this looks like the classical variable-ordering problem with ROBDDs: the size of the BDD can depend heavily on whether one variable or...

Yes, that's a fundamental problem if you want to do things on the fly -- the data structure is immutable (which is what allows us to dedup); a `BDDFunc` always...

Xtensa is a [separate ISA](https://dl.espressif.com/github_assets/espressif/xtensa-isa-doc/releases/download/latest/Xtensa.pdf). It's a little unique (register windows automatically shifted by calls, deja vu from SPARC!) but it's conceivable it could be supported by Cranelift. If we...

@TheQuantumPhysicist we're well aware! No one in the project has really made a decision *not* to support 32-bit targets. The reality is rather that it takes a good amount of...

I wonder if we could define suitable "cleanup" for names: (i) rewrite duplicates with numeric suffixes, (ii) replace or remove any characters not in the usual set (`[A-Za-z0-9-_]` -- maybe...
