Hello, Eliot.
I just started exploring the Cog, and here's my first idea:
- with NativeBoost, i can actually generate the native code, which can
be inlined into other methods.
So, then, whenever Cog sees, that primitive is NativeBoost primitive
and it going to invoke
a native code, then its possible to inline this method into outer
method by copying a native code into
generated method's code.
I remember you mentioned that primitive invocation in Cog is rather
ineffective , because
you have to do some deoptimizations before entering a primitive.
I wonder if its possible to do such things.
The problem, what i see is that NativeBoost's native code works as a
primitive (its using interpreterProxy
and its functions, and generated code honoring all VM/primitive
conventions), so if primitive fails, it should
enter the method's bytecode.
This maybe a major barrier, which could make a native code inlining
highly problematic.
What you think about it?
