  • This patch applies speculative devirtualization in non-lto mode where visibility is not needed.
  • It's still safe to devirtualize becasue we do speculation.
  • In non-lto mode, only speculative devirtualization is allowed without other features like vitual constant propagation to minimize the drawback of wrong speculation.

Changes
  • This patch applies speculative devirtualization in non-lto mode where visibility is not needed.
  • It's still safe to devirtualize becasue we do speculation.
  • In non-lto mode, only speculative devirtualization is allowed without other features like vitual constant propagation to minimize the drawback of wrong speculation.
