Maybe keep it as first element instead?

elliottt edited PR #5756 from trevor/default-in-jump-table to main:

While working through #5731, adapting branch_destination to return an iterator over multiple slices of BlockCall values was a little awkward, and yielded more complicated indexing for heavily used operations like inst_values. As the root of the problem is the jump table default target and data not living in contiguous memory, there was a somewhat obvious solution: inline the default block into the JumpTableData, and remove it from the BranchTable instruction data.

The resulting refactoring is implemented in this PR: jump tables require a default block when they are created, and maintain an invariant that the last element of their internal vector is always the default label. Additionally, they now export slices for both the vector and just the jump table, to make it easy to adapt existing uses of as_slice.

For a little bit of additional motivation, consider this godbolt link. There are three indexing functions implemented: one that indexes into two slices using nth on a chained iterator; one that checks which slice the index falls on; and one that indexes into a single slice. By far the best option is indexing into a single slice, followed by choosing the slice to index, followed by using nth. Without this refactoring, we would need to pick the approach in either index1 or index2 to finish transitioning br_table to using BlockCall arguments, and both feel like bad options.

The only downside there is that we would break the invariant that the table data is 0-indexed. However, as we can always return a slice to the table data, maybe that's fine?

This sounds like define or definition to me. Default is a keyword, and default_ isn't the nicest either. Unless someone has a better suggestion I guess leaving it the way it is right now is fine.

Right now it is, but I'd like to change that as well. It would be great to have a function for translating the blocks in the branch instructions instead of passing the labels as an extra argument.

iter includes the default block. I decided that as_slice, as_slice_mut, iter, and iter_mut would iterate the whole vector, and that access to just the table or default block would be through table_slice and default_block.

Perhaps it would be better to go the other way, and introduce a special function for accessing a slice for the whole vector, keeping the existing functions as excluding the default?

Another option would be to not use the regular names for conversion to a slice or iterator at all, but instead explicitly call out which part is returned for each function, both those returning everything and those returning only a part.

I think I'm going to rework this to keep the existing behavior consistent, and introduce new functions to iterate the whole range. Thanks for pointing this out :)

I switched it to iterate over all_branches_mut instead, which reads a bit better and doesn't change the meaning of the old function.

I was going to say that this should just use table.all_branches() but then I remembered that would change the visit order. Instead, would you update the comment above to note that some callers depend on the default block being visited first?
