perf(runtime): hoist the private-member guard to its call sites (pure read −15%) - #8980
Conversation
PerryTS#8970 made the private-member name test cheap but left the CALL: a pure property-read loop still spent 16.8% in private_member_get_by_name and private_member_storage_name, essentially all of it call overhead for keys that are rejected on their length. Export the guard and invoke it at the three call sites — the read entry, the class-field read miss, and the generic write — so an ordinary property operation makes no call into the private-member path at all. Keys that pass the guard still take exactly the original path. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ay8VyLkKbm8Hkc1xmvTEsP

Merged. Hoisting a guard to its call sites is only safe if every caller applies it, so that is what I checked rather than the diff alone: Together with #8970 this is the complete version of that fix — that one made the test cheap, this one removes the call, and the two only pay off together on a pure read loop where the call overhead was the residue. One fix pushed: the fragment was named That is the fifth fragment-naming fix today, which I think strengthens the case in #8978: the gate checks the filename shape ( Validation — runtime 2779/0, codegen 1341/0 ( The 16.8% figure is not re-measured here. |
Follow-up to #8970, which fixed half of this. That PR made the private-member name test cheap but left the call on every property operation.
Profiling a pure property-read loop —
o[k]with pre-built keys, so no concat, no interning of fresh keys, no allocation churn — putprivate_member_get_by_nameat 11.4% andprivate_member_storage_nameat 5.4%: 16.8% of the loop and the largest single item, essentially all of it call overhead for keys that are rejected on a length compare before doing any work.The guard is now invoked at the three call sites — the generic read entry, the class-field read miss, and the generic write — so an ordinary property operation makes no call into the private-member path at all. Keys that pass the guard take exactly the original path.
Measurement
Interleaved A/B, min-of-21, built from the exact parent commit and this commit in one run. The box had heavy co-tenant load during this window (~14.9), so the absolutes are inflated; interleaving cancels that and the ratios are the signal:
Means move the same way (read 41 → 38, computed read 57 → 51, combined 51 → 49).
Correctness
This change decides whether the private-member path is entered at all, so a bug here would silently disable private class members rather than merely slow them down. Checked directly:
static #instances, private methods, private getters,#x in obj, subclassing, and an ordinary property literally named#<perry:private-member:1:x>— byte-identical output before and after.perry-runtime: 2779 passed / 0 failed.Context for the remaining read gap
With this, the same isolated read loop ranks
shape_descriptor_by_idat 10.1% (the read path has the redundant double-lookup that #8975 fixes on the write side),js_typed_feedback_object_get_field_by_name_f64at 10.0%, andintern_dispatch_bytesat 6.9%. Worth noting separately: perry's SSO key construction is now faster than node's (~10ns vs ~32ns per"k" + i); the residual read gap is the lookup itself.https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ay8VyLkKbm8Hkc1xmvTEsP
