[Truffle] IndirectCallNode vs. another inline cache?

[Stefan Marr]

Hi:

I was wondering how exactly IndirectCallNode is optimized and what the characteristics are compared to using another inline cache.

Are the performance characteristics supposed to be similar?
Also, how are the interactions with tree inlining and splitting, etc?

The JavaDoc isn’t very explicit on that point. And I didn’t really see how OptimizedIndirectCallNode is used in the code.

Thanks
Stefan
