Previously, if you had a lot of inherent impl blocks on a type like:
The compiler would be very slow at processing it, because
an internal algorithm would run in O(n^2), where n is the number
of impl blocks. Now, we add a new algorithm that allocates but
is faster asymptotically.
Comparing rustc nightly with a local build of rustc as of this PR (results in seconds):
I've tuned up the numbers to make the effect larger than the startup noise of rustc, but the asymptotic difference should hold for smaller n as well.
Note: current state of the PR omits error messages if there are other errors present already. For now, I'm mainly interested in a perf run to study whether this issue is present at all. Please queue one for this PR. Thanks!
