Make the JIT optimizer buffer add to a new buffer, not in-place
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
Currently the JIT uop buffer modifies uops traces in place.
I think we should make it add to a new buffer. Having modifications be in-place is making our code messy and full of special cases.
So
REPLACE_OP(this_instr, ...)
should become
ADD_OP(ctx, ...)
in optimizer_bytecodes.c,
Also, the default generated case of optimizer_bytecodes.c should be to ADD_OP(pc, ...)
This is also blocking optimization in https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/143414, as ocassionally we need to insert extra guards to check the uniqueness of an object for example.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
