Description
Emacs Lisp (Elisp) is the Lisp dialect used by the Emacs text editor
family. GNU Emacs can currently execute Elisp code either interpreted
or byte-interpreted after it has been compiled to byte-code. In this
presentation I'll discuss the libgccjit based Elisp compiler
implementation being integrated in Emacs. Though still a work in
progress, this implementation is able to bootstrap a functional Emacs
and compile all Emacs Elisp files, including the whole GNU Emacs
Lisp Package Archive (ELPA). Native compiled Elisp shows an increase of
performance ranging from ~2x up to ~40x with respect to the equivalent
byte-code, measured over a set of small benchmarks.
