Provide a custom iterator rather than relying a the IndexingIterator,
as an indexing model is less efficient for stateful processing of
strings. Provides around a 30% speedup.
Consider a class ‘C’ with distinct fields ‘A’ and ‘B’
And consider we are accessing C.A and C.B inside a loop
LICM well not hoist the exclusivity checking outside of the loop because isDistinctFrom(C.A, C.B) returns false.
This is because the helper function bails if isUniquelyIdentified returns false (which is the case in class kinds)
Same with all other potential access enforcement optimizations.
This PR resolves that
Major refactoring + tuning of LICM. Includes:
Support for hosting more array semantic calls
Remove restrictions for sinking instructions
Add support for hoisting and sinking instruction pairs (begin and end accesses)
Testing with Exclusivity enabled on a couple of benchmarks shows:
ReversedArray 7x improvement
StringWalk 2.6x improvement
