> I've had this patch sitting around since January and kept forgetting to file the ticket. Hurray spring cleaning.
> Just for fun I ran erlc with +bin_opt_info, which gives information about how the Erlang VM can optimize creating binary objects.
> What follows is the commit message from my patch.
> Even if I'm wrong about the last point, it can't hurt.
> What think you all?
> -------------------
> Running erlc with +bin_opt_info gives an INFO message stating that "matching
> anything else but a plain variable to the left of a binary pattern will prevent
> delayed sub binary optimization; SUGGEST changing argument order"
> I guess matching 0 is triggering this. If I understand correctly, this change
> will allow the compiler to skip creating a sub-binary that starts at the block
> boundary in the third clause and delay creation until we strip the leading byte
> in the 0 clause. This means one less 1-byte binary every time we read across a
> block boundary.
