I'd be interested in attempting this issue, although I would probably need some handholding. I do not have any significant experience with assembly, but have contributed to some larger Rust projects before (Axum), and I've been following the compiler for a while.
I'm currently trying to completely rework the way vendor intrinsics are implemented. I don't know if it will work out yet, but to avoid your work going to waste if it works out, you may want to hold off working on this until either the rework gets merged (and these intrinsics are like immediately available) or it becomes clear that my idea doesn't work out after all.
Sounds good, I appreciate the response :)
Let me know if you need someone to do grunt work, I'm happy to oblige
Thanks for the offer. I'm not quite sure what a good first issue for rustc_codegen_cranelift would be though. If you want to help, maybe contribute to Cranelift? A couple of issues that would either directly help cg_clif or make development of cg_clif a bit easier are: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/2827, https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/8600 and https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/8694. If you want to pick up any of these issues please comment there (or at https://bytecodealliance.zulipchat.com/) to keep this issue a bit tidier.
Necessary for running Zed.
