I know it is old, but the classic is a classic for reasons. It is criminal this survey does not include the venerable Secrets of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler inliner by Simon Peyton Jones et al.
Please feel free to open a PR. I'm a bit AFK
Really nice write-up. After reading through the survey, I’m curious if there’s any evidence that more complex heuristics (ML-based or multi-stage policies) actually outperform simpler budget + size + hotness models in production JITs, or if they mainly help at the margins.
