[vm/concurrency] Avoid stopping mutators when updating subtype test cache

To avoid stopping all mutators when updating subtype test caches, we
ensure that any updates to the subtype test cache will be visible in a
consistent way to mutators by adding a store-release barrier when
updating the backing array of the STC.

Since STCs are always grown by allocating a new array with size+1, there
is no need to actually add barriers when accessing the individual
entries of the backing store.

To prevent multiple writers creating STCs and patching the pool or
updating a STC we add a mutex.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web

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).
