promote_low_f32x4: Wasm SIMD conversion instruction

The promote_low_f32x4 SIMD conversion instruction converts the first two lanes of a v128 f32x4 value interpretation into an f64x2 value interpretation.

Try it

(module
  (import "console" "log" (func $log (param f64)))
  (func $main
    v128.const f32x4 0x3 0x3a 0x4b 0x5a

    f64x2.promote_low_f32x4
    f64x2.extract_lane 1
    call $log ;; log the result
  )
  (start $main)
)
WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch("{%wasm-url%}"), { console });
