Nst_optimize_ast#

Synopsis:

Nst_Node *Nst_optimize_ast(Nst_Node *ast, Nst_Error *error)

Description:

Optimizes the AST.

The AST is destroyed if an error occurs.

Parameters:

  • ast: the AST to optimize
  • error: the pointer to place the error in

Returns:

The optimized AST on success and NULL on failure. No operation error is set.

Nst_optimize_bytecode#

Synopsis:

Nst_InstList *Nst_optimize_bytecode(Nst_InstList *bc, bool optimize_builtins,
                                    Nst_Error *error)

Description:

Optimizes bytecode.

The bytecode is destroyed if an error occurs.

Parameters:

  • bc: the bytecode to optimize
  • optimize_builtins: whether accesses to builtins such as Int and false should be replaced by their values when they are not modified
  • error: the pointer to place the error in

Returns:

The optimized bytecode on success and NULL on failure. No operation error is set.
