Geth MoarVM/master: 6 commits pushed by (Stefan Seifert)++, niner++ 12:16
japhb nine: It looks like that patch set is for BEGIN-time dynamic variable performance and for bug fixing deopt? Is there more that's not obvious? (And did I correctly read those?) 18:34
nine That's very correct. 19:13
timo we have code to do kinda like "generic" iteration through strings that works with different bit counts as well as with strands, right 19:37
do we lose a lot of performance from not letting the compiler do tricks like vectorization when it knows how to get consecutive characters?
running an nfa against a string, is that something we spend a lot of time on in a regular old program? 19:39
nine I guess only an experiment will be able to answer those questions 20:03
timo too many questions too little time 20:30
