If you want to mention that this call aborts the trace generation, then I would put it like 'call_w_trace_abort' But it goes beyond that AFAU. Can you name it like 'ffi_safe_call'? Although, safety resulting in a panic sounds paradoxical. BTW, should it be under 'LJ_HASFFI' and keep the original call otherwise? > > > > > > + global_State *g = G(L); > > > + if (tvref(g->jit_base)) { > > > + setstrV(L, L->top++, lj_err_str(L, LJ_ERR_JITCALL)); > > > + if (g->panic) g->panic(L); > > > + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); > > > + } > > > + lj_trace_abort(g); /* Never record across Lua VM entrance */ > > > + lj_vm_call(L, base, nres); > > > +} > > > + > > > /* -- Miscellaneous API functions ----------------------------------------- */ > > > > > > LUA_API int lua_status(lua_State *L) > > > > Also I have a question on perf impact - have you measured any > > benchmarks - Lua only, or as part of Tarantool > > I compared two sysbench logs ([1] and [2]) via vimdiff and see no > critical difference. > > > > > Regards, > > Sergos > > [1]: https://gitlab.com/tarantool/tarantool/-/jobs/489420257/raw > [2]: https://gitlab.com/tarantool/tarantool/-/jobs/486707332/raw > > -- > Best regards, > IM
