[LLVMdev] BC Fle Format Change: No More Alignment!
LLVMers,
Due to a corner case provided by Robert Mykland, we've decided to do
away with alignment in bytecode files. The original reason for alignment
has gone away and all it does is add bytes to the file. In Robert's test
case, 34% (44KBytes) of the file was thrown needlessly to alignment.
While this is a corner case, it certainly can and does happen. Bytecode
files with lots of long format (5+ bytes) instructions will now consume
only the number of bytes they took. Previously they would be aligned to
8, 12 or even (gasp!) 16 bytes....
