[MC] AsmLexer: add extensible identifier's character set support.
Needs RevisionPublic

Details

Summary

Working on AMDGPU project I need to support assembler identifiers started with '&'. Looking into AsmLexer.cpp I found similar need to optionally support '@' inside identifiers and decided this is time to add generic support for identifier charset. I added configurable bitvector set for prefix and body identifier's characters.

Why do you need to make these virtual?

is..Contains is a strange name since it has two verbs.

Why?

Well not making it virtual would require bitvector sets to be part of this class. I'm not objecting though as it already done with SkipSpace and AllowAtInIdentifier.

216

What would be a better name here?

Well it based on my previuos experience on Windows where we had lexer using these routines eating up to 10% of scan time. Probably not so "generally" as I stated though. I'm not insisting on this particular change and can remove it.

After a loooong time I would like to reanimate this review requiest.

Previously I incorrectly measured performance impact for this patch and obtained 30% performance gain - this result was incorrect. Current measurement on a large .s file shows no affect on parsing performance.

With the generalization, these can go away entirely, yes? Replace the callsites w/ the new API.

219

This should start with "is" not "Is" according the the coding guidelines.

224

Ditto.

231

This feels really weird. Wouldn't any callsites want to be using one of the other two? They'll know their context. I don't see any invocations of this method in the patch. Why is it needed at all?

Can you elaborate on this bit? Not sure I follow why this is so much more logic than previously.

Given the bimodal behaviour based on Value, this should probably just be two functions.
