Note: given that Cranelift doesn't support inline assembly, neither does A possibility would be to put the assembly stuff inside |
An optimized version of
Id::retain
that usesobjc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue
for when the previous caller returns an autoreleased value withobjc_autoreleaseReturnValue
. This is a common thing in ARC code to avoid unnecessaryautorelease/retain
pairs, but it is (apart from changing the retain count) purely an optimization.This uses the newly stabilized inline assembly, which can easily cause very undefined behaviour if used incorrectly. Luckily, the instructions are exceedingly simple (essentially just a special
nop
), so there's almost no room for error - so fingers crossed I got this right (at least enough that it doesn't cause UB)!I've tested this on my local machine (both x86 and x86_64), and I've also added assembly tests to ensure that enough optimizations actually happen to make it work. At some point I would really like a helper like Apple's
TestRoot
instead of the brittle checking ofretainCount
that we do now, but I'll defer that to later.Related: gfx-rs/metal-rs#222
