Directly marking iseq operands allows us to eliminate the "mark array"
stored on ISEQ objects, which will reduce the amount of memory ISEQ
objects consume. This patch changes the iseq mark function to:
* Directly marks ISEQ operands
* Iterate over and mark child ISEQs
It also introduces two flags on the ISEQ object. In order to mark
instruction operands, we have to disassemble the instructions and find
the instruction parameters and types. Instructions may also be
translated to jump addresses. Instruction sequences may get marked by
the GC *while* they're mid flight (being compiled). The
`ISEQ_TRANSLATED` flag is used to indicate whether or not the
instructions have been translated to jump addresses so that when we
decode the instructions we know whether or not we need to go from jump
location back to original instruction or not.
Not all ISEQ objects have any markable objects embedded in their
instructions. We can detect whether or not an ISEQ has markable objects
in the instructions at compile time. If the instructions contain
markable objects, we set a flag `ISEQ_MARKABLE_ISEQ` on the ISEQ object.
This means that during the mark phase, we can skip decompilation if the
flag is *not* set. In other words, we can avoid decompilation of we
know in advance there is nothing to mark.
`once` instructions have an operand that contains the result of a
one-time compilation of a regex. Before this patch, that operand was
called an "inline cache", even though the struct was actually an "inline
storage". This patch changes the operand to be an "inline storage" so
that we can differentiate between caches that need marking (the inline
storage) and caches that don't need marking (inline cache).
