slides about the inliner, control-flow sensitive rewritings

[Garcia Gutierrez Miguel Alfredo]

Hi,

I've made a bunch of improvements to the inliner (in the form of behavior-preserving refactorings plus documentation) which might pave the way towards more substantial improvements (eg, closure-aware inlining, one of the original goals).

The following slides go into details about those improvements, and include pointers to what remains to be done:

As a bonus, the slides cover a new experimental phase I've added to Graal, to perform control-flow-sensitive rewritings (early in the compilation pipeline). That phase is self-contained and thus within reach of newcomers, for example as next stop after GraphBuilder.


cheers,

Miguel
