I am looking to learn something here that I haven't seen in my code yet.
John mentioned
Suppose you are compiling your favorite high-level language to the
JVM, and you start
running into the various size limits in class files
To which there seemed to be some agreement that this was an issue. Running
over my Smalltalk
code base my largest method is 12000 bytes with only about a dozen that
are more than
10k bytes. The corresponding class file is 16k bytes ( I only do one
method + blocks per class file)
So my question is what is causing these mega methods. Is it just an
artifact of the language being
implemented or is it from some language side optimization (such as trace
optimization)? Perhaps
I am just lucky to not see it yet.
thanks
mark
