💡 What:
Removed repeated lookup of
&self.module.functions[self.frames.last().unwrap().function_idx as usize]andself.frames.last().unwrap().base_pointerfrom the main VM instruction execution loop inexecutor.rs. These were replaced with references to the localfuncandframe.base_pointervariables which are already safely computed at the start of thewhileblock.🎯 Why:
The inner execution loop is extremely hot. Reducing repeated array indexing, bounds checking, and pointer dereferencing on
self.frames.last()saves cycles in frequently used opcodes likeLoadConst,FieldLoad,FieldStore,LoadLocal, andStoreLocal.📊 Impact:
Minor but measurable execution time improvements. Fib(25) recursive execution test on the VM backend showed a consistent drop in execution time from ~188ms to ~180ms.
