This, along with moving the sources and destination out of the config
object, makes it so we don't have to double-deref to get to them on each
instruction, leading to a ~15% perf improvement on dispatch.
This still passes the values on the stack, but registers are now allowed
to cross a call boundary.
This is a very significant (>50%) improvement on the small call
microbenchmarks on my machine.
Largely combinations of i32.const and local.get.
This shaves off at most single-digit% number of instructions from
dispatch, which translates to at most ~10% reduced dispatch time.
Across most benchmarks, this gains around ~5% perf increase.
This commit adds a register allocator, with 8 available "register"
slots.
In testing with various random blobs, this moves anywhere from 30% to
74% of value accesses into predefined slots, and is about a ~20% perf
increase end-to-end.
To actually make this usable, a few structural changes were also made:
- we no longer do one instruction per interpret call
- trapping is an (unlikely) exit condition
- the label and frame stacks are replaced with linked lists with a huge
node cache size, as we only need to touch the last element and
push/pop is very frequent.
It's generally considered a security issue to use non-format string
literals. We would likely just crash in practice, but let's avoid the
issue altogether.
