- Avoids unnecessary conversions between StringOrSymbol and PropertyKey
on the hot path of property access.
- Simplifies the code by removing StringOrSymbol and using PropertyKey
directly. There was no reason to have a separate StringOrSymbol type
representing the same data as PropertyKey, just with the index key
stored as a string.
PropertyKey has been updated to use a tagged pointer instead of a
Variant, so it still occupies 8 bytes, same as StringOrSymbol.
12% improvement on JetStream/gcc-loops.cpp.js
12% improvement on MicroBench/object-assign.js
7% improvement on MicroBench/object-keys.js
By doing that we avoid lots of `PropertyKey` -> `Value` -> `PropertyKey`
transforms, which are quite expensive because of underlying
`FlyString` -> `PrimitiveString` -> `FlyString` conversions.
10% improvement on MicroBench/object-keys.js
This commit adds a convenience method to secure random for initializing
single types. It changes the random number generator in JS math random()
to use newer constants by the author as well as initializes it with a
higher quality seed.
This commit adds a fast path for putting values into a TypedArray of an
integer type, when the value being put in is a double. This leads to a
6% speedup on JetStream/gcc-loops.js.
We already have fast path for built-in iterators that skips `next()`
lookup and iteration result object allocation applied for `for..of` and
`for..in` loops. This change extends it to `iterator_step()` to cover
`Array.from()`, `[...arr]` and many other cases.
Makes following function go 2.35x faster on my computer:
```js
(function f() {
let arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
for (let i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
let [a, ...rest] = arr;
}
})();
```
We don't override anything with definitions of this function in
`SwitchStatement` and `LabelledStatement`. Also, we can make the
`IterationStatement` abstract, there is no need to add a fallback
error-generating stub implementation of this method.
81b6a11 regressed correctness by always bypassing the `next()` method
resolution for built-in iterators, causing incorrect behavior when
`next()` was redefined on built-in prototypes. This change fixes the
issue by storing a flag on built-in prototypes indicating whether
`next()` has ever been redefined.
By following the spec to the letter, our mapped arguments objects ended
up with many extra GC allocations:
- 1 extra Object for the internal [[ParameterMap]].
- 2 extra NativeFunctions for each mapped parameter accessor.
- 1 extra Accessor to hold the aforementioned NativeFunctions.
This patch removes all those allocations and lets ArgumentsObject model
the desired behavior in custom C++ instead of using script primitives.
1.06x speedup on Speedometer's TodoMVC-jQuery.
Saves us two NativeFunction allocations per each `await`.
With this change, following function goes 80% faster on my computer:
```js
(async () => {
const resolved = Promise.resolve();
for (let i = 0; i < 5_000_000; i++) {
await resolved;
}
})();
```
- Create less GC pressure by making each `await` in async function skip
iteration result object allocation.
- Skip uncached `Object::get()` calls to extract `value` and `done` from
the iteration result object.
With this change, following function goes 30% faster on my computer:
```js
(async () => {
const resolved = Promise.resolve();
for (let i = 0; i < 5_000_000; i++) {
await resolved;
}
})();
```
https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-jobs specifies that we should only be
running queued promise jobs and host-defined cleanup when the
execution context stack is empty. It is asserted to _not_ be empty
the line above, so remove it.
No impact on test262 or our test suites, Interpreter::run_executable
is already (incorrectly) performing this unconditionally.
run_promise_jobs also happens to do nothing when LibJS is embedded
into LibWeb.
Instead of creating a second ExecutionContext in BoundFunction.[[Call]],
we now implement BoundFunction::get_stack_frame_size() and combine
information from the target + the bound arguments list.
This allows BoundFunction.[[Call]] to reuse the already-established
ExecutionContext for the callee.
1.20x speedup on MicroBench/bound-call-04-args.js
Instead of monomorphic (1 shape), GetById inline caches are now
polymorphic (4 shapes).
This improves inline cache hit rates greatly on most web JavaScript.
For example, Speedometer 2.1 sees 88% -> 97% cache hit rate improvement.
1.71x speedup on MicroBench/pic-get-own.js
1.82x speedup on MicroBench/pic-get-pchain.js
This is *extremely* common on the web, but barely shows up at all in
JavaScript benchmarks.
A typical example is setting Element.innerHTML on a HTMLDivElement.
HTMLDivElement doesn't have innerHTML, so it has to travel up the
prototype chain until it finds it.
Before this change, we didn't cache this at all, so we had to travel
the prototype chain every time a setter like this was used.
We now use the same mechanism we already had for GetBydId and cache
PutById setter accesses in the prototype chain as well.
1.74x speedup on MicroBench/setter-in-prototype-chain.js
This is a normative change in the ECMA-262 spec. See:
0fb1859
As noted in the PR for this change, this is not actually testable via
either test262 or WPT.
`var` bindings are never in the temporal dead zone (TDZ), and so we
know accessing them will not throw.
We now take advantage of this by having a specialized environment
binding value getter that doesn't check for exceptional cases.
1.08x speedup on JetStream.
Before this change, setting a global would end up as SetLexicalBinding.
That instruction always failed to cache the access if the global was a
property of the global object.
1.14x speedup on Octane/earley-boyer.js
2.04x speedup on MicroBench/for-of.js
Note that MicroBench/for-of.js was more of a "set global" benchmark
before this. After this change, it's actually a for..of benchmark. :^)
We were spending a lot of time removing each property name from the
iterator's underlying HashMap while iterating over it. This wasn't
actually necessary, so let's stop doing it and instead just iterate
over the property names with a stored HashTable iterator.
1.10x speedup on MicroBench/for-in-indexed-properties.js
Before this change, we would call [[OwnPropertyKeys]] on the target
objects, then convert the returned keys from Value into PropertyKey.
Then, when actually iterating, we'd convert them back into Value again.
This was particularly costly for numeric property keys, since we had
to go through string-from-number construction.
Now, we simply keep the original values returned by [[OwnPropertyKeys]]
around and use them for the enumeration.
1.09x speedup on MicroBench/for-in-indexed-properties.js
1.01x speedup on MicroBench/for-in-named-properties.js
We were previously unable to use simdutf for base64 decoding operations
other than "loose". Upstream has added support for the "strict" and
"stop-before-partial" operations, so let's make use of them!
I was investigating an optimization in this area, and while it
didn't seem to have a noticable improvement, it still seems
useful to apply this change.
Even though this code was already optimized to re-use a single result
object, returning { value, done } directly in output parameters still
provides a substantial speedup.
1.21x speedup on MicroBench/for-in-indexed-properties.js
Apply a little ensure_capacity() to avoid excessive rehashing of the
property key table when enumerating a large number of properties.
1.23x speedup on MicroBench/for-in-indexed-properties.js
"return" method is not defined on any of builtin iterators, so we could
skip it, avoiding method lookup.
I measured 10% improvement in array-destructuring-assignment.js micro
benchmark with this change.
...by avoiding `{ value, done }` iterator result value allocation. This
change applies the same otimization 81b6a11 added for `for..in` and
`for..of`.
Makes following micro benchmark go 22% faster on my computer:
```js
function f() {
const arr = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 10_000_000; i++) {
arr.push([i]);
}
let sum = 0;
for (let [i] of arr) {
sum += i;
}
}
f();
```
Introduce special instruction for `for..of` and `for..in` loop that
skips `{ value, done }` result object allocation if iterator is builtin
(array, map, set, string). This reduces GC pressure significantly and
avoids extracting the `value` and `done` properties.
This change makes this micro benchmark 48% faster on my computer:
```js
const arr = new Array(10_000_000);
let counter = 0;
for (let _ of arr) {
counter++;
}
```
Expose a method on built-in iterators that allows retrieving the next
iteration result without allocating a JS::Object. This change is a
preparation for optimizing for..of and for..in loops.
This is a normative change in the ECMA-262 spec. See:

This did not actually seem to affect our implementation as we were not
using generators here to begin with. So this patch is basically just
adding spec comments.
This reverts commit 36bb2824a6.
Although this was faster on my M3 MacBook Pro, other Apple machines
disagree, including our benchmark runner. So let's revert it.
This is a simple trick to generate better native code for access to
registers, locals, and constants. Before this change, each access had
to first dereference the member pointer in Interpreter, and then get to
the values. Now we always have a pointer directly to the values on hand.
Here's how it looks:
class StackFrame {
public:
Value get(Operand) const;
void set(Operand, Value);
private:
Value m_values[];
};
And we just place one of these as a window on top of the execution
context's array of values (registers, locals, and constants).
