Bug 228053 – DFGByteCodeParser.cpp should avoid resizing the Operands<> of every BasicBlock on every inlining

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: REOPENED

[Robin Morisset]

The dfg bytecode parser only makes use of block->variablesAtTail. But currently it updates the size of variablesAtHead, valuesAtHead, valuesAtTail and intersectionOfPastValuesAtHead every single time it changes the number of Tmps and/or Locals. This happens notably whenever it inlines a function.
It is not nearly as cheap as it looks, as each resizing may reallocate a Vector, requires filling the new slots with zeros, and requires moving the existing values (which are all 0) to the new Vector. This was obvious when looking at profiling of JS2: bzero + memmove are the two hottest C++ functions, and the manipulation of Operands is partly responsible.
It can be easily improved: only resize block->variablesAtTail on inlining, and initialize all of the other operands at the very end of the DFGByteCodeParser.

nit: Use the OperandsLike constructor so these lines of code don't have to change in the future if we change the Operands constructor you're invoking?
