@assume_effects
on method definitions is very useful, but at some times, its application can be too broad on generic signatures. We've addressed this by defining methods specialized for particular types and applying@assume_effects
to them. However, this method has downsides, such as being restricted to pre-set types or increasing nearly identical method definitions.To remedy this, this commit introduces a support for callsite
@assume_effects
annotation, enabling finer control over its application. Now the annotations for@ccall
are just specific instances of callsite@assume_effects
annotation, so it might be a good idea to replace@ccall
annotations with callsite@assume_effects
annotations.@nanosoldier
