Reland "[vm,dart2bytecode,modular_aot] Variable-length closure objects" This is a reland of commit 88496ba1c37fb6f67eac5920adb37eb8af0ee1f1 Fixes on top of the original change: * Closure layout is changed to avoid gap between fixed fields and variable-length elements on compressed pointers architecture. This gap was causing crashes in the GC when scanning closure objects. * pkg/vm_snapshot_analysis/test/instruction_sizes_test is fixed on arm64 by decreasing threshold for detecting size changes. Original change's description: > [vm,dart2bytecode,modular_aot] Variable-length closure objects > > Extend closure objects with variable number of elements to capture. > This is needed to support capturing multiple independent contexts > after capturing is computed in the front-end. > > The following fixed Closure fields are moved into variable-length > elements: > - delayed type arguments; > - instantiator type arguments; > - function type arguments; > - context. > > Number of elements and presence/indices of various type arguments > are encoded into the new length_and_flags field in the Closure. > > Most closure objects don't need any of the type arguments so this > change will reduce average Closure object size.

Dart is:
Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.
Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.
Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
Dart is free and open source.
