Started at 349,880,038 allocations and 42s
- Switched to making `Symbol` in GOOS be a "fixed type", just a wrapper
around a `const char*` pointing to the string in the symbol table. This
is a step toward making a lot of things better, but by itself not a huge
improvement. Some things may be worse due to more temp `std::string`
allocations, but one day all these can be removed. On linux it saved
allocations (347,685,429), and saved a second or two (41 s).
- cache `#t` and `#f` in interpreter, better lookup for special
forms/builtins (hashtable of pointers instead of strings, vector for the
small special form list). Dropped time to 38s.
- special-case in quasiquote when splicing is the last thing in a list.
Allocation dropped to 340,603,082
- custom hash table for environment lookups (lexical vars). Dropped to
36s and 314,637,194
- less allocation in `read_list` 311,613,616. Time about the same.
- `let` and `let*` in Interpreter.cpp 191,988,083, time down to 28s.
Favors the `lg` namespace over `fmt` directly, as this will output the
logs to a file / has log levels.
I also made assertion errors go to a file, this unfortunately means
importing `lg` and hence `fmt` which was attempted to be avoided before.
But I'm not sure how else to do this aspect without re-inventing the
file logging.
We have a lot of commented out prints as well that we should probably
cleanup at some point / switch them to trace level and default to `info`
level.
I noticed the pattern of disabling debug logs behind some boolean,
something to consider cleaning up in the future -- if our logs were more
structured (knowing where they are coming from) then a lot this
boilerplate could be eliminated.
