[PERF] Lightweight Node Construction #82
Description
Description
As node construction is one of the most common operations in the virtual machine, it is important that it be as cheap as possible.
Currently this is quite a heavyweight task due to the boxed structure of the value tree. This could be improved.
Spec
- Come up with an artificially flat representation for these nodes. This will make allocation effectively arena-like using a vector and indices as pointers.
- Make this type safe.
- Re-engineer the value representation around this.
