Description
instructions
array and populates it at module parse time alongside theparsed_code
array.Note: I had some issues with a recursive definition for
InstructionFunction
so I added a similar dummy type and do some casting which is a bit ugly.Problem
Looking at the machine code for a few instructions we might expect this change to give us some speed increase, as the instruction count seems to have come down (as we might have expected from getting rid of a superfluous table lookup), but
fib
actually takes longer to run with this change. Why could that be?nop
