Martin Kustermann cf8a6063f8 [VM] Improve AssertAssignable/InstanceOf by having a fast case for non-generic, instantiated types
When the type to test against is instantiated and has no type arguments
there is a high probability that we receive instances of that class or
subclasses at runtime.

This CL therefore extends the fast-path of AssertAssignable/InstanceOf
by checking whether the instance class id is within the cid ranges that
directly/indirectly implement/extend the type to test against.

Currently we have an almost depth-first preorder numbering of class ids
in AOT, but there are exceptions.  So each class can have a number of
cid-ranges as subclasses / classes which implement it's interface.

This seems to improve performance of dart-aot-v2
  * flutter stock build by 15+%
  * DeltaBlueClosures by 10+%

and reduces code size on
  * flutter gallery by -3%

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.
