Guys, There's no feedback about the new VM architecture and it's hard to maintain the patches as changes are being made to the source base constantly. I will recommit the patches on Monday unless someone has reasonable objections. I reverted the patch so that people had time to review but it doesn't seem to have happened eventhough I've sent out two reminders. In general, this patch improves performance by about 20% and supports goto opcode threading. I don't see a very good reason not to commit it.
andi, i really think it's time to write some engine-level benchmarks (loops etc) so we can actually see the improvement. even though i really think that the VM-loop should be generated and not done thru cpp-magic i think committing it is a "step forward" .remember, sterling and i had a patch for this (& more) more than a year ago... what's next? thies
