Avoid dynamic lookup of signal handler arguments

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      For a signal declaration like so:
      signal clicked(color cellColor)

      and signal handler like so:
      onClicked:

      { helloText.color = cellColor; }

      QML will generate a function expression

      function() { helloText.color = cellColor; }

      and the resolution of the arguments (cellColor, in this case) is done dynamically in the QML scope.
      Instead, QML could generate the expression

      function(cellColor)

      { helloText.color = cellColor; }

      and pass the arguments directly to QScriptValue::call().
      This should make arguments access a lot faster since it allows JSC to use "static" opcodes (i.e. avoids virtual calls to scope chain).
