If these functions are only called when val2 is constant, can't we make it such that we get val2 from the hist_field directly? That is: u64 val2 = operand2->constant;operand2 might be a var ref to a constant, so we would need to resolve that with hist_field_var_ref().So can a var_ref change? If not, then we should convert that to a constant for this operation.
A var ref to a constant won't change. I think we can just copy the constant value to the var ref's hist field and then we'll be able to get it from there instead of calling the fn() function. I'll post another version with this. Thanks, Kalesh
