    [turbofan] Optimize Object constructor subclassing. · 1f3f8f3e
    Benedikt Meurer authored
    Add support to the JSCallReducer to recognize JSConstruct nodes where
    the target is the Object constructor, and reduce them to JSCreate
    nodes if either
    
     (a) no value is passed to the Object constructor, or
     (b) the target and new.target are definitely not identical, by checking
         whether both target and new.target are different HeapConstants
         (if they are not, then the JSCreateLowering will not be able to
         do a lot with the JSCreate anyways).
    
    This should cover the relevant cases for subclassing appropriately. It
    fixes the 3-4x slowdown on the micro-benchmark mentioned in the linked
    bug,
    
      baseNoExtends: 752 ms.
      baseExtendsObject: 752 ms.
      baseExtendsViaFactory: 751 ms.
    
    and thus removes the performance cliff.
