Started at 349,880,038 allocations and 42s
- Switched to making `Symbol` in GOOS be a "fixed type", just a wrapper
around a `const char*` pointing to the string in the symbol table. This
is a step toward making a lot of things better, but by itself not a huge
improvement. Some things may be worse due to more temp `std::string`
allocations, but one day all these can be removed. On linux it saved
allocations (347,685,429), and saved a second or two (41 s).
- cache `#t` and `#f` in interpreter, better lookup for special
forms/builtins (hashtable of pointers instead of strings, vector for the
small special form list). Dropped time to 38s.
- special-case in quasiquote when splicing is the last thing in a list.
Allocation dropped to 340,603,082
- custom hash table for environment lookups (lexical vars). Dropped to
36s and 314,637,194
- less allocation in `read_list` 311,613,616. Time about the same.
- `let` and `let*` in Interpreter.cpp 191,988,083, time down to 28s.
I havn't tested it yet, but I can almost guarantee that atleast `goalc`
will not work in the slightest!
But the project is atleast fully compiling. My hope is to start
translating some AVX to NEON next / get `goalc` working...eventually.
Running reference tests/decompiler should now be possible on macos
(arm). Most of the changes were just cleaning up places where we were
sloppy with ifdefs, but there were two interesting ones:
- `Printer.cpp` was updated to not use a recursive function for printing
lists, to avoid stack overflow
- I replaced xxhash with another version of the same library that
supports arm (the one that comes in zstd). The interface is C instead of
C++ but it's not bad to use. I confirmed that the extractor succeeds on
jak 1 iso so it looks like this gives us the same results as the old
library.
