I set specialize_c_call to return 1 to indicate failure. You may have to change the return codes in specialize_c_call for consistency. Sorry!

We should probably add an enum {SUCCESS, FAILURE} for clarity.
I wouldn't worry too much about it for now, we do much worse elsewhere.compile.c uses zero for success and non-zero for failure in some places, and the other way around in other places 😞

I wonder if the compiler is smart enough to realize that func->func_defaults and cache1->defaults_start doesn't change between iterations? I'd say probably not. Perhaps we should micro-optimize and move this out of the loop?

The common case is that deflen == 0. In which case moving it out of loop could make it worse.

Indeed, I was wondering what this PR + #26934 would yield, instead of just this PR alone. Nonetheless, this should pay for the specialization alone. |
