5998 - redo code-generation for 'break'
I've been saying that we can convert this: { var x: int break-if-= ... } ..into this: { 68/push 0/imm32 { 0f 84/jump-if-= break/disp32 ... } 81 0/subop/add %esp 4/imm32 } All subsequent instructions go into a nested block, so that they can be easily skipped without skipping the stack cleanup. However, I've been growing aware that this is a special case. Most of the time we can't use this trick: for loops for non-local breaks for non-local loops In most cases we need to figure out all the intervening variables on the stack and emit code to clean them up. And now it turns out even for local breaks like above, the trick doesn't work. Consider what happens when there's a loop later in the block: { var x: int break-if-= ... } If we emitted a nested block for the break, the local loop would become non-local. So we replace one kind of state with another. Easiest course of action is to just emit the exact same cleanup code for all conditional branches.
