perf(runtime): make declared-prototype reverse lookup O(1) - #9214
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime adds ChangesDeclared prototype reverse index
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The runtime keeps correct declared-prototype behavior, but GC relocation can disable the constant-time index and return lookups to slower linear scans. This is a bounded performance risk that should have explicit owner awareness or follow-up, but it does not warrant blocking the merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Keep GC relocation out of insert.
The GC root scanner calls class_decl_prototype_object_root_store with relocated addresses at crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/gc_roots.rs:745. After an evacuation moves a registered prototype, DeclPrototypeTable::insert sees a different prior address and permanently abandons reverse. All later reverse lookups then use the linear scan.
Route GC relocation through visit_root_slots or visit_root_slot_for. Keep insert for first registration only.

Adding the measurement and the staleness argument, which aren't in the description yet. All of this was produced on cc --help: −2.09%Median of 5 interleaved reps,
−184.9 M instructions, −2.09% (min-to-min −2.14%). Within-arm spread 0.29% / 0.44%, so the effect is ~5× the noise. The signature that disappears is the slope, not the constantThe scan's cost is proportional to table size, so that is what the fix has to remove — a lower constant would prove nothing:
Control loop identical (5.0 ns) in both arms. Honest caveat: with a near-empty table the index costs ≤25 ns per lookup (180 → 190–205 ns), and that figure moved 190→205 between two builds of identical logic, so it is at the edge of the benchmark's resolution. Crossover is below 50 prototypes. A 3-line Why it cannot go stale — three layers, none of them "I found all the writers"#9180 records a failed first attempt at exactly this: a pointer-keyed cache invalidated at two of six mutation sites, producing silently wrong descriptors. So the bar was a structural argument, not an enumeration.
GC: both visit helpers capture the slot, run the visitor, and re-key from what it left behind — a move updates both maps or neither. Worth noting the author shipped a first version, then found a residual hazard in it themselves (a shared prototype address would let a targeted update drop the other entry) and added layer 2 rather than arguing it was unreachable. The differential can fail, and fails on the exact prior bug104 assertions — descriptor shapes for accessor/data/missing, prototype identity,
Follow-ups filed separatelyThe sibling scan on the line immediately before this one is still linear and costs essentially what this removed; and |
Replace the linear reverse scan of declared-class prototype objects with a DeclPrototypeTable that owns both the authoritative forward map and its pointer-keyed inverse. All stores, removals, full scans, and incremental GC relocations now update both directions through the same type. If the forward table ever stops being injective, the reverse index is abandoned and lookups fall back to the authoritative scan. Debug builds continuously compare indexed answers with that scan. Add focused table invariants and compiled-program coverage for descriptors, identity, deletion, late materialization, and allocation churn. The integration test builds and selects its matching runtime archive so stale host caches cannot make the result ambiguous. Refs PerryTS#9180

Merged. One thing to be aware of, reported rather than buried because I could not fully account for it. On the shared validation branch, one full I bisected it to this PR's files — reverting them made it pass. But that comparison was not like-for-like (full suite vs single test), and when I checked properly the test passes in isolation with this PR applied, and the full suite then passed twice in a row on the identical tree. So the isolation result was an artifact of my own method, not evidence against you. My read is a shared-global interaction rather than a defect here: Validation: |

With 400 materialized declared-class prototypes, non-prototype receiver lookups measured:
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor: 420 ns to 200 ns (2.10x)Object.defineProperty: 1,585 ns to 1,055 ns (1.50x)delete: 2,685 ns to 2,445 nsThe former miss cost grew from 180/210/305/420 ns at 0/50/200/400 prototypes; the indexed path stays near 200 ns.
