[Parser][NFC] Solve performance issue by adding maybeLabelidx#6514
Conversation
Creating an error in the parser is an extremely expensive operation for very large files because it has to traverse the input buffer and count newlines to compute the error message. Despite that, there are a few places were we create errors just to discard them and continue parsing. The most notable of these places was where we parsed the list of label index immediates for the br_table instruction. The parser determined the end of the list by intercepting the error produced when trying to parse one more label index. Fix this significant performance problem causing parsing to be quadratic by introducing and using `maybeLabelidx`, which tries to parse a label index but does not produce an error if it fails.
