cmd/compile: set stricter inlining threshold in large functions
If we're compiling a large function, be more picky about how big
the function we're inlining is. If the function is >5000 nodes,
we lower the inlining threshold from a cost of 80 to 20.
Turns out reflect.Value's cost is exactly 80. That's the function
at issue in #26546.
20 was chosen as a proxy for "inlined body is smaller than the call would be".
Simple functions still get inlined, like this one at cost 7:
There are a lot more smaller (~1000 node) functions in the stdlib.
The function in #26546 has 12477 nodes.
At some point it might be nice to have a better heuristic for "inlined
body is smaller than the call", a non-cliff way to scale down the cost
as the function gets bigger, doing cheaper inlined calls first, etc.
All that can wait for another release. I'd like to do this CL for
1.11.
Fixes #26546
Update #17566
