The default implementation (ReflectionOverloadInfo) holds on a MethodBase and uses reflection to determine these properties. The implementation caches information that is expensive to retrieve via reflection. The OverloadInfo is a public abstract class and could be implemented by languages so that almost no reflection is needed at runtime. The ultimate goal is to remove OverloadResolver’s dependency on Reflection types (other than Type). This change goes half way – it abstracts away reflection in the first phase of overload resolution (building target sets). More work needs to be done to remove the dependency on Reflection completely in the expression building phase. It would also require some breaking changes in DLR so we keep that part post IronRuby v1.0. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>IronRuby implements LibraryOverload subclass of OverloadInfo. Library initializers generator performs custom attribute reflection on library methods and compresses the retrieved information to 31 bits. It imposes a limit of 15 parameters on library methods (more parameters can be supported if needed). The flags are then used at overload resolution time instead of calling ParameterInfo.IsDefined.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The difference in perf:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> ir.exe -X:CompilationThreshold 2 test.rb<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>// before change<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Initialized in 7.8005s<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10000 requests: 289 requests per second<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Peak working set: 217MB<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>// after change<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Initialized in 7.64449s<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10000 requests: 337 requests per second<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Peak working set: 216MB<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tomas<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
