perf(runtime): the last four per-element key scans resolve via the shape index (read loop −10.5%) - #8971
Conversation
…a scan The read-plan cache's MISS path in js_object_get_field_by_name's fast lane was an open-coded keys_array_slot + js_string_key_matches walk — up to key_count string compares, run in full every time the epoch-guarded plan was flushed (on each GC, and on descriptor / prototype / delete mutations). On a 500-key receiver that put js_string_key_matches at 9.6% self time in a computed-key read loop, second only to the entry itself. Route it through the same keys_find_slot_by_key_ptr helper that PerryTS#8936 and PerryTS#8950 put on the write, delete and [[Get]]-fallback paths: shape hash index first, raw dense-slot scan as its own fallback and correctness backstop.

…e index Same transformation as the read lane in the parent commit, applied to the write fast path's read-plan miss fallback, the write tail, and the read tail. Two of them ran js_array_get per key, which additionally probes for a per-index accessor. Both tail sites keep their original js_string_key_matches test as the gate, so the resolver can only narrow the candidate slot, never widen what is accepted.

#8936 and #8950 replaced the
js_array_get+js_string_key_matcheswalks on the[[Set]],deleteand[[Get]]-fallback paths. Four copies survived, all of them in miss fallbacks — which is exactly where they are most expensive, because a miss is also when the caches above them are cold.The one that showed up in a profile:
js_object_get_field_by_name's FAST LANE. Its read-plan cache is epoch-guarded and flushed on every GC and on descriptor / prototype / delete mutations, and its miss path was a full walk of up to 4096 keys. On a 500-key receiver that putjs_string_key_matchesat 9.6% self time in a computed-key read loop — second only to the entry function itself.The other three: the write fast path's read-plan miss fallback, the write tail, and the read tail. Two of them walked via
js_array_get, which additionally probes each index for a per-index accessor.All four now call
keys_find_slot_by_key_ptr— shape hash index first, raw dense-slot scan as its own fallback and correctness backstop. The two tail sites keep their originaljs_string_key_matchestest as the gate, so the resolver can only narrow the candidate slot, never widen what is accepted.Measurement
Interleaved A/B pairs, min-of-15, quiet load (~2.0), 16-core Linux host. Node on the same host in brackets:
The read-only loop is where this lands, and the combined loop shows why: there the write primes the read plan, so the read never reaches the miss path. Measuring the read lane alone first (before the other three sites) gave read 45 → 35 min / 75 → 53 mean, with the write loop bit-for-bit unchanged — which is the attribution check that the effect is coming from where the profile said.
The three non-lane sites were then measured separately against the read-lane-only build, and are individually small: write 45 → 44 min, combined 80 → 76 min, read unchanged. They are included because they are the same transformation on the same code path family, not because they carry the headline number.
