This is a Dart-tailored implementation of the "row-displacement dispatch table" technique for closed-world instance calls: All interface targets in the program are grouped into selectors such that all targets that could potentially be called from the same call site have the same selector (currently just grouped by name). Each selector is assigned a selector offset such that offset + classid is unique for all selector/classid combinations where the class implements the selector. At every instance call site that has an interface target (i.e. where the static type of the receiver is not dynamic), the selector offset + receiver classid is computed and used as index into a global table of entry points. If the receiver can be null (as determined by the front-end TFA and the VM type propagation), a null check is inserted before the call. An arguments descriptor is provided (only) for selectors that need it (those which have type parameters or optional/named parameters). The dispatch table calls don't need the monomorphic entry code, so for functions that are only called via dispatch table calls (i.e. never called dynamically), the monomorphic entry code is left out. Some future improvements to the table dispatch implementation are mentioned in https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/40188 The table dispatch flag is disabled by default in this commit. A separate commit enables the flag.
