Improve Dispatch #77

Open mgaudet opened 7 years ago

mgaudet commented 7 years ago

Inside a JIT like Ruby+OMR, there are three types of dispatch we care about

Interpreter to JIT (I2J): Transitioning from an interpreted frame into jitted code.
JIT to JIT (J2J): A jitted method calling a jitted method.
JIT to Interpreter (J2I): A jitted method calling back into the interpreter.

Today, J2J dispatch effectively goes J2I -> I2J instead. It would be nice to make that better.
