bytecode: Do not treat perfect type matches as conditional
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When matching [write "Hello"] with [write X:text], we don't want to consider the
generated code as conditional when it is not.

This changes the generated code from:

Compiled write "false" as
Constants:
  C0	= "false"
  C1	= false
  C2	= true
Locals:
  L0	= [write "false"]
  L1	= ["false"]
Types:
  write "false"	as	nil
  "false"	as	character
Opcodes (2 locals, 0 parameters, 2 temporaries)
     0: native              #41=xl_write_text, (1)
       0: C0
       => L0
     5: branch              +12=19
     7: character_typecheck L1, +7=17
    10: native              #39=xl_write_character, (1)
       0: C0
       => L0
    15: branch              +2=19
    17: form_error          L0
    19: ret                 L0

to:

Compiled write "false" as
Constants:
  C0	= "false"
  C1	= false
  C2	= true
Locals:
  L0	= [write "false"]
Types:
