7e099c277e Added basic loop unrolling. Blocks that end in a JMP, LOOP or conditional branch to a previous instruction in the block will be unrolled up to 10 times. 2019-03-25 19:07:51 +00:00

ab124776a0 Rework self modifying code handling.
Code blocks now have a varying level of granularity in the page and dirty masks.
Most blocks have 64-byte granularity, but blocks that are repeatedly modified
drop to 1-byte granularity. This reduces the maximum size of the affected block
significantly, but reduces recompilation due to data located too close to code.

If the block is still marked as dirty, then it is recompiled without any
immediate instruction parameters being baked into the recompiled code, instead
being fetched from the RAM array as needed. This severely reduces recompilation
rates on some SMC-heavy games, eg Duke Nukem 3D, System Shock, Screamer etc,
giving a major speedup.
