This hopefully removes a lot of the heap-allocations happening in the lexer. The
comment
andSourcePos
structs were small, and we ended up allocating a lot of the latter. So hopefully copying them around will be more efficient (certainly less load on allocator/GC).This also removes some of the lambdas in the main
Lex
method so the compiler doesn't need to heap-allocate local variables. Instead, the necessary state was added as fields to theprotoLex
struct, and the lambdas were promoted to methods onprotoLex
.
