Ryan Macnak 91ed534139 [vm] Support --use_bare_instructions when splitting snapshots.
- Don't use PC-relative calls when calling between loading units.
 - Sort the contents of the code cluster by loading unit, then by text offset.
 - Handle binding PC-relatives calls and inserting trampolines per loading unit.
 - Create one code order table per loading unit to implement PC -> Code lookup.
 - Read code order tables directly, instead of copying into malloc'd memory.

--use_table_dispatch still not yet supported.

This slightly shrinks non-split binaries (~2% clustered part, 0.4% total snapshot) due to the new delta encoding when Code references Instructions.

Dart VM Compilation Pipeline

This folder contains Dart VM compilation pipeline.

Compilation pipeline is mainly responsible for converting AST or Kernel AST into IL flow graphs and then generating native code from IL.

It has the following structure:

Directory What goes there
assembler/ Assemblers and disassemblers
backend/ IL based compilation backend: optimization passes and architecture specific code generation rules
frontend/ Frontends responsible for converting AST into IL
jit/ JIT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
aot/ AOT specific passes and compilation pipeline entry points
. Shared code or code without clear designation.

Currently there are no layering restrictions and components from different subfolders can reference each other.
