sames very simple register alloction in JIT #139

Open carltraveler opened 5 years ago

carltraveler commented 5 years ago

is that because of the stack operation mostly converted to memory operation, and few register used?

The JIT does not implement any register allocation, and my experiment (in one of the branches on my fork) did not show any performance improvement from implementing it.

I think any improved performance is totally masked by the lack of support for branching in the JIT - it always falls back to interpreting for branching and control flow management.
