| | T-diagrams (or tombstone diagrams) are widely used by teachers to explain how compilers and interpreters can be composed together to build and execute software. In this blog post, Paul Brunet and I revisit these diagrams, and show how they can be redesigned for better readability. We demonstrate how they can be applied to explain compiler...

| [AI summary] The article discusses the development of an Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler for JavaScript, leveraging precompiled inline-cache (IC) stubs. By moving runtime type binding to indirect calls, the compiler can generate static code, enabling full AOT compilation. This approach achieves significant performance improvements, with a 2.77x geometric mean speedup on various benchmarks. The article also explores further optimizations through profile-guided inlining, and compares this method with other AOT approaches like Hopc's type inference. The potential for future enhancements and the use of compiler backends derived from interpreters are also highlighted.
