Jens Johansen e3d4fbec80 [kernel] Deduplicate Names when loading dill
When loading the sdk, a compilation of dart2js and a big internal app
without lazy loading (but with useGrowableLists: false though that
part shouldn't matter) I see these changes:

Loading the sdk: Saving ~1.17 MB Public and ~0.33 MB Private.
                 A total of ~1.5 MB.
Loading a compile of dart2js: Saving: ~7.0 MB Public and ~1.1 Private.
                              A total of ~8.1 MB.
Loading a compile of a big internal app: Saving ~74.7 MB Public and
                                                ~25.4 MB Private.
                                         A total of ~100 MB.

Specifically, when loading a big internal app I see these changes:

Change, without lazy loading (and useGrowableLists: false):
Current memory: -122.88 MB
Peak memory: -92.16 MB
Heap: -102.4 MB / -92.16 MB
_PublicNames: -74.75 MB (2 mio+ fewer)
_PrivateNames: -25.4 MB (800,000+ fewer)

Change, with lazy loading (and useGrowableLists: false):
Current memory: +10.24 MB (yes, more).
Peak memory: +10.24 MB (yes, more).
Heap: +2.2 MB / +2.5 MB (yes, more)
_PublicNames: -0.76 MB (20,000+ fewer)
_PrivateNames: -11.3 KB (some hundred fewer)

Dart Kernel

Dart Kernel is a small high-level language derived from Dart. It is designed for use as an intermediate format for whole-program analysis and transformations, and to be consumed by codegen and execution backends.

The kernel language has an in-memory representation in Dart and can be serialized as binary or text.

Both the kernel language and its implementations are unstable and are under development.

This package contains the Dart part of the implementation and contains:

  • A transformable IR for the kernel language
  • Serialization of kernel code

Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.

See ast.dart for the in-memory IR, or binary.md for a description of the binary format. For now, the textual format is very ad-hoc and cannot be parsed back in.
