Support for IndexedSeq

Hi there,

i'm working on a project where I use ArrayBuffers in performance-critical sections. In some places I was able to replace them with Arrays, so they got while-optimized by the scalacl-compiler-plugin. But in other cases it would make the code way more unreadable or easier to replace them with while-loops myself.

So I'd like to see support for optimization of IndexedSeq in the scalacl-compiler-plugin.

Thank you!
Felix

Hi @fdietze ,

Thanks for your report !

I'm not sure how safe it would be to optimize IndexedSeqs in general, but ArrayBuffer seems like a good candidate indeed ! (and it probably wouldn't cost much to add an unsafe IndexedSeq optimization switch, disabled by default).

Added to my TODO list :-)

Cheers
