[vm/aot] Allow static methods to have unboxed args and return Static methods and constructors may receive unboxed parameters. This change adds a bitmap to the RawFunction object indicating which parameters are unboxed and their types. Also, the stack frame bitmap was updated to include new bits for those parameters. The ArgumentsDescriptor object was updated to store not only the number of arguments, but also their size, since 32-bit platforms would use two words for each int64 and double value. In addition, static methods that return non-nullable integers and doubles may return these values unboxed.

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).
Dart is free and open source.
