Summary Reduce the number of BOL checks in YARR Interpreter
Peter Varga
Reported 2010-09-22 06:32:31 PDT
The "Yarr JIT code checks BOL (^) each time through loop when in subexpression" (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45787) optimization slows down the YARR Interpreter. The reason of the slow-down is the modification extends the tree which is generated by the regex parser. The Interpreter doesn't perform the BOL optimization therefore it does some unnecessary matches. The optimization should be implemented in the YARR Interpreter as well.
