Revision c22889e76cb9b7fd8a4710d9bf53e827aaa907e4 authored by Shuhei Kadowaki on 24 August 2021, 04:21:29 UTC, committed by Shuhei Kadowaki on 26 October 2021, 14:45:33 UTC
Currently our constant-prop' heuristics work in the following way:
1. `const_prop_entry_heuristic`
2. `const_prop_argument_heuristic` & `const_prop_rettype_heuristic`
3. `force_const_prop` custom heuristic & `!const_prop_function_heuristic`
4. `MethodInstance` specialization and `const_prop_methodinstance_heuristic`

This PR changes it so that the step 1. now works like:

1. `force_const_prop` custom heuristic & `const_prop_entry_heuristic`

and the steps 2., 3. and 4. don't change

This change particularly allows us to more forcibly constant-propagate
for `getproperty` and `setproperty!`, and inline them more, e.g.:
```julia
mutable struct Foo
    val
    _::Int
end

function setter(xs)
    for x in xs
        x.val = nothing # `setproperty!` can be inlined with this PR
    end
end
```

It might be useful because now we can intervene into the constant-prop'
heuristic in a more reliable way with the `aggressive_constprop` interface.

I did the simple benchmark below, and it looks like this change doesn't
cause the latency problem for this particular example:
```zsh
~/julia master aviatesk@amdci2 6s
❯ ./usr/bin/julia -e '@time using Plots; @time plot(rand(10,3))'

~/julia avi/forceconstantprop aviatesk@amdci2 6s
❯ ./usr/bin/julia -e '@time using Plots; @time plot(rand(10,3))'
