fix multi-eval of Perl_custom_op_xop in XopENTRY
Commit 1830b3d9c8 introduced a flaw where XopENTRY calls
Perl_custom_op_xop twice to retrieve the same XOP *. This is inefficient
and causes extra machine code. Since I found no CPAN or upstream=blead
usage of Perl_custom_op_xop, and its previous docs say it isn't 100%
public, it is being converted to a macro.
Most usage of Perl_custom_op_xop is to conditionally fetch a member of the
XOP struct, which was previously implemented by XopENTRY. Move the XopENTRY
logic and picking defaults to an expanded version of Perl_custom_op_xop.
The union allows Perl_custom_op_get_field to return its result in 1
register, since the union is similar to a void * or IV, but with the
machine code overhead of casting, if any, being done in the callee
(Perl_custom_op_get_field), not the caller. Perl_custom_op_get_field can
also return the XOP * without looking inside it to implement
Perl_custom_op_xop.
XopENTRYCUSTOM is a wrapper around Perl_custom_op_get_field with
XopENTRY-like usage.
XopENTRY is used by the OP_* macros, which are heavily used (but rarely
called, since custom ops are rare) by Perl lang warnings system. The
vararg warning arguments are usually evaluted no matter if the warning
will be printed to STDERR or not. Since some people like to ignore warnings
or run no strict; and warnings branches are frequent in pp_*, it is
beneficial to make the OP_* macros smaller in machine code. The design
of Perl_custom_op_get_field supports these goals.
This commit does not pass judgement on Ben Morrow's unclear public or
private API designation of Perl_custom_op_xop, and whether
Perl_custom_op_xop should deprecated and removed from public API. It was
trivial to leave a form of Perl_custom_op_xop in the new design.
XOPe enums are identical to XOPf constants so no conversion has to be
done between the field selector parameter and the field flag to test
in machine code.
ASSUME and NOT_REACHED are being introduced. The closest to the 2
previously was "assert(0)". Perl has not used ASSUME or CC specific
versions of it before. Clang, GCC >= 4.5, and Visual C are supported. For
completeness, ARMCC's __promise was added, but Perl is not known to have
any support for ARMCC by this commiter.
This patch is part of perl #115032.
