Maybe it would be useful to support inlining of subs (at PIR level?)
This would support good programming style.
Well, I'm a bit confused as to what's being asked here, so I'll
go ahead and ask for some clarification.
Are you asking for the ability to define subs in PIR such that
any PIR-based calls to those subs are then inlined?
Or are you looking at this from more of a high-level language (HLL)
perspective, such that someone writing in a HLL can designate
certain blocks as being suitable for inlining?
I remember this as a conversation I had with a German guy at YAPC::EU.
The idea was optimisation of PIR code. Avoid the overhead of argument
passing by inlining subs in the PBC.
My suggestion was to start a discussion by submitting an RT ticket for
that idea.
