Currently still a draft because:

  • The regalloc3 crate isn't published yet.
  • This is missing support for debug locations.

After discussions with Cranelift maintainers, we've decided not to take this change: the main concern is maintenance burden, as the core Cranelift team is stretched relatively thin and we are in a place where we understand RA2 fully and can fix any bugs that arise or extend it as needed, but the same would not be true for a new allocator backend without a large investment of time. Thank you very much regardless for all of the discussions and best of luck with RA3!

Did the Cranelift meeting get moved earlier? According to the meeting invite it would be in half an hour from now.

No, we're still meeting in a half-hour.

(Sorry, my wording was ambiguous: I made the decision after discussing and bouncing ideas off a number of Cranelift maintainers. I'm happy to provide reasoning in the meeting soon.)
