Add experimental unbounded 32-bit arena support #156

Closed fwsGonzo closed 2 weeks ago

fwsGonzo commented 2 weeks ago

The initial code to map the entire 4GB address space for 32-bit guests in order to avoid bound-checks on memory reads and writes. So far the performance increase is fairly modest, < 10%.

TCC benefitted from using a static arena pointer, instead of the indirection.
