This commit refactors the internal representation of `BoundKind::Record`
to store a `RecordLayout` and a `Vec` of values, rather than a `Vec` of
key-value pairs. This change simplifies the representation and improves
efficiency by decoupling the record's structure from its specific values
during compilation and analysis.
The `RecordLayout` now defines the structure of the record, and the
values are stored in a separate vector, ordered according to the layout.
This allows for better optimization and type checking, as the record's
shape is explicitly defined and immutable once created.
These changes update the benchmark numbers and repeat counts in the
example files. The benchmark results have slightly varied, and these
updates reflect the most recent measurements.
This commit updates the benchmark results for various examples. The
benchmark times and repeat counts have been adjusted to reflect current
performance characteristics.
Introduces a new `RecordLayout` system for efficient and type-safe
record handling.
Key changes:
- `RecordLayout` struct with `O(1)` field lookup using FMap
optimization.
- Field accessors (`.name`) are now first-class callable values.
- Parser recognizes dot-prefixed identifiers as field accessors.
- Binder and TypeChecker handle field accessors.
- Optimizer transforms field accessor calls into specialized `GetField`
nodes.
- VM executes `GetField` efficiently by directly accessing record
values.
- Adds a new `records.myc` example showcasing record features.
- Improves comparison logic for records to use pointer equality for
layout.
