// tiny_alloc_fast_inline.h - Phase 7 Task 2: Aggressive inline TLS cache access
// Purpose: Eliminate function call overhead (5-10 cycles) in hot path
// Design: Macro-based inline expansion of TLS freelist operations
// Performance: Expected +10-15% (22M → 24-25M ops/s)

// ========== Inline Macro: TLS Freelist Pop ==========
//
// Aggressive inline expansion of tiny_alloc_fast_pop()
// Saves: 5-10 cycles (function call overhead + register spilling)
//
// Assembly comparison (x86-64):
// Function call:
// push %rbx ; Save registers
// mov %edi, %ebx ; class_idx to %ebx
// call tiny_alloc_fast_pop ; Call (5-10 cycles overhead)
// pop %rbx ; Restore registers
// test %rax, %rax ; Check result
//
// Inline macro:
// mov g_tls_sll_head(%rdi), %rax ; Direct access (3-4 cycles)
// test %rax, %rax
// je .miss
// mov (%rax), %rdx
// mov %rdx, g_tls_sll_head(%rdi)
//
// Result: 5-10 fewer instructions, better register allocation
//

//

//

// Function call:
// mov %rdi, %rsi ; ptr to %rsi
// mov %ebx, %edi ; class_idx to %edi
// call tiny_alloc_fast_push ; Call (5-10 cycles)
//
// Inline macro:
// mov g_tls_sll_head(%rdi), %rax ; Direct inline (2-3 cycles)
// mov %rax, (%rsi)
// mov %rsi, g_tls_sll_head(%rdi)
//
#define TINY_ALLOC_FAST_PUSH_INLINE(class_idx, ptr) do { \

// ========== Performance Notes ==========
//
// Benchmark results (expected):
// - Random Mixed 128B: 21M → 23M ops/s (+10%)
// - Random Mixed 256B: 19M → 22M ops/s (+15%)
// - Larson 1T: 2.7M → 3.0M ops/s (+11%)
//
// Key optimizations:
// 1. No function call overhead (save 5-10 cycles)
// 2. Better register allocation (inline knows full context)
// 3. No stack frame setup/teardown
// 4. Compiler can optimize across macro boundaries
//
// Trade-offs:
// 1. Code size: +100-200 bytes (each call site expanded)
// 2. Debug visibility: Macros harder to step through
// 3. Maintenance: Changes must be kept in sync with function version
//
// Recommendation: Use inline macros for CRITICAL hot paths only
// (alloc/free fast path), keep functions for diagnostics/debugging
