Good, but looks like the metadata is slightly bigger. Probably because it encodes enum instead of just values & targets arrays. We could optimize that by encoding it as two arrays in all cases.

This is the first one that's supposed to have some impact - one byte down from TerminatorKind (and consequently Terminator and BasicBlockData), but achieved with ThinVec for Call args. That is less shrink_to_fit calls and possible reallocs, but also more heap usage for non-empty args.

Overall result: ❌ regressions - please read:

Benchmarking means the PR may be perf-sensitive. It's automatically marked not fit for rolling up. Overriding is possible but disadvised: it risks changing compiler perf.

Next, please: If you can, justify the regressions found in this try perf run in writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, fix the regressions and do another perf run. Neutral or positive results will clear the label automatically.

hm. I wonder what's up with the new solver that it stresses this code that much. That doesn't seem super related.

new solver changes were caused by thin-vec update. Those were resolved in other PRs, I also got a better Decodable impl from review on other PR. Let's try to test the impact after all those changes. I also tweaked take_array to avoid reallocating thinvec to box on error (bug!) path (probably negligible, but maybe optimizes better?).
