fast code generator is optimized for compilation time and code size. Currently it is only implemented on IA32. It is potentially triggered for any code in the global scope (including code eval'd in the global scope). It performs a syntactic check and chooses to compile in fast mode if the AST contains only supported constructs and matches some other constraints. Initially supported constructs are * ExpressionStatement, * ReturnStatement, * VariableProxy (variable references) to parameters and stack-allocated locals, * Assignment with lhs a parameter or stack-allocated local, and * Literal This allows compilation of literals at the top level and not much else. All intermediate values are allocated to temporaries and the stack is used for all temporaries. The extra memory traffic is a known issue. The code generated for 'true' is: 0 push ebp 1 mov ebp,esp 3 push esi 4 push edi 5 push 0xf5cca135 ;; object: 0xf5cca135 <undefined> 10 cmp esp,[0x8277efc] 16 jnc 27 (0xf5cbbb1b) 22 call 0xf5cac960 ;; code: STUB, StackCheck, minor: 0 27 push 0xf5cca161 ;; object: 0xf5cca161 <true> 32 mov eax,[esp] 35 mov [ebp+0xf4],eax 38 pop eax 39 mov eax,[ebp+0xf4] 42 mov esp,ebp ;; js return 44 pop ebp 45 ret 0x4 48 mov eax,0xf5cca135 ;; object: 0xf5cca135 <undefined> 53 mov esp,ebp ;; js return 55 pop ebp 56 ret 0x4 Review URL: http://codereview.chromium.org/273050 git-svn-id: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bleeding_edge@3067 ce2b1a6d-e550-0410-aec6-3dcde31c8c00
