Replacing them with equivalent gotos saves 11 million allocations (~57%) during the course of compiling AArch64InstructionSelector.cpp.o. The cumulative number of bytes allocated also drops by ~4GB (~36%).

Lambdas themselves don't allocate memory (std::function of a stateful lambda may allocate memory - but I didn't see any std::function in your change, though I might've missed it), so I'm guessing it's something else/some other aspect of the code in/outside the lambdas and where it moved that changed the allocation pattern?

My tools don't tell me which allocations no longer occur but compiling the lambdas requires memory allocations. I believe the allocations come from the various optimization and analysis passes, SelectionDAG, MC, etc. for each of the MachineFunction's corresponding to the lambdas.

> The second one is to split up the functions by the number of operands in the top-level instruction. This constrains the scale of the task the register allocator needs to deal with in X86InstructionSelection.cpp.o.
