1D Arrays in Intermediate Language
We inspect compiled intermediate language for one-dimensional array reads and writes, highlight the dedicated stelem and ldelem instructions that let the JIT compiler translate array access directly into efficient pointer arithmetic. The lesson also covers ldlen and explains why these specialized intermediate language opcodes exist only for the one-dimensional case.
