    cppgc: Optimize GCInfo setup · 479bfdb1
    Michael Lippautz authored
    In Blink's version of Oilpan, GCInfo objects would reside in .bss and
    a table would translate between an index and the .bss address. Upon
    retrieving a GCInfoIndex, the slow path merely passes a .bss pointer
    to a slow path setup method to create the table mapping.
    
    In cppgc, we set up GCInfo entries directly in the table. This is
    slightly faster for actually using GCInfo objects as there's no
    indirection between table and .bss, and it also saves one pointer (the
    indirection) per type that is set up. The downside of this approach is
    that individual components of a GCInfo objects, that are all
    type-dependent, need to be passed to the conditional setup method.
    Since GCInfo indices must be retrieved on each allocation, this
    pollutes the fast path with additional instructions.
    
    However, GCInfo components are actually known at compile-time for many
    objects. In such cases, we can use a compile-time static dispatch to
    encode the known parameters in different functions. This saves around
    40KiB of memory on ChromePublic.apk and also creates a more compact
    fast path for allocation.
