📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR refactors LOAD_ATTR operand handling by introducing a structured LoadAttr oparg type with builder pattern, removing standalone encode/decode helper functions, and updating all call sites to use the new builder-based construction.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
New Oparg Type
crates/compiler-core/src/bytecode/oparg.rs
Introduces public LoadAttr struct with builder pattern, storing a u32 internally with methods to extract name_idx (via right-shift) and is_method flag (least significant bit), plus LoadAttrBuilder for ergonomic construction.
Instruction and Export Updates
crates/compiler-core/src/bytecode/instruction.rs, crates/compiler-core/src/bytecode.rs
Changes LoadAttr instruction variant from Arg<NameIdx> to Arg<LoadAttr>, removes public helper functions encode_load_attr_arg and decode_load_attr_arg, updates public re-exports to remove the old helpers and add LoadAttr to oparg exports.
Call Site Updates
crates/codegen/src/compile.rs, crates/vm/src/frame.rs
Updates LOAD_ATTR emission in codegen to use LoadAttr::builder().name_idx(...) pattern instead of calling encode helper; updates VM frame handler to accept LoadAttr parameter and use oparg.name_idx() and oparg.is_method() accessors.

  • Bytecode pseudo opcodes #6715: Previously introduced encode_/decode_load_attr_arg helpers that this PR replaces with a structured LoadAttr type.
  • Pseudo ops #6678: Modified LOAD_ATTR operand encoding/decoding via helper functions, addressing similar concerns that this PR resolves via a builder pattern.

Poem

🐰 A builder rises where helpers once stood,
LoadAttr now structured—just as it should!
No more bit-twiddling, the oparg shines bright,
With names and methods packed oh-so-right! 🎉

797-820: Missing From<LoadAttrBuilder> for LoadAttr impl for consistency with LoadSuperAttr.

LoadSuperAttrBuilder implements From<LoadSuperAttrBuilder> for LoadSuperAttr (line 752–756), enabling ergonomic .into() conversions. Consider adding the equivalent for LoadAttrBuilder.

♻️ Proposed addition after line 820
+impl From<LoadAttrBuilder> for LoadAttr {
+    fn from(builder: LoadAttrBuilder) -> Self {
+        builder.build()
+    }
+}
