I would like to update references in inline caches so we don't have to invalidate. Most inline caches are reachable from instruction sequences, but one cache is not: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/6147fa82a923e7318f493857023006801ed25eb5/internal.h#L2395 This static variable can't be reached from the GC. I'd like to introduce a new IMEMO object that wraps this cache, then the GC can reach the cache and update the value. I've attached a patch that implements the new IMEMO object, and also removes the restriction on GCC so that all compilers get the cache hit. Does this seem OK shyouhei, ko1? ---Files-------------------------------- 0001-Wrap-call-data-with-an-IMEMO-object.patch (3.8 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
