I was wondering whether it is possible to remove the constant pool
area in
jit.
It is.
RegisterFile contents right now:
... [ CallFrame ] [ Cleared const pool ] [ temporary SF
registers ] ...
(SF means SquirellFish)
The constant pool is only used by interpreter, the jit simply clears
the
area. It is not important on desktop systems, because of the big
caches,
but in arm, that is a waste of cache space. I think shifting the
remporary
SF registers by the size of the constant pool and changing some
variables
(i.e: m_numConstants set to 0) in the CodeBlock during jit compilation
might be enough to implement this optimization. Do you agree?
Yes.
