Summary
js_rel_lt/gt/le/geopen aRuntimeHandleScope, root both operands and runToPrimitiveon each before examining a single tag — even when both operands arealready plain numbers.
js_dynamic_addnext door does none of that, which is why+and===on the same value are fast and</>/<=/>=are not.This adds the early-out. The
is_plain_doublepredicate already exists invalue/dynamic_arith.rsand its own doc comment states the justification: for such anoperand
ToPrimitiveis the identity and there is no heap pointer to root, "so the binaryoperators below can skip the
RuntimeHandleScopeentirely". The relational operators weresimply never given it. Int32-tagged operands are unboxed on the same path.
How this was found
Profiling the two widest remaining gaps against Node.
rt::builtins::arithmetic::abstract_relationalis 6.2% of
iso_missself time and 5.9% ofinterp, in both cases driven by lexer code ofthe form
c >= "0" && c <= "9"andcc >= 48 && cc <= 57.The decomposition that isolates it — same loop, only the operand's provenance changes:
charCodeAt+===charCodeAt+|0then relationalcharCodeAt+ relational directlyPerry already ties Node exactly when the operand is proven. Everything above is the cost
of the unproven path, and inserting
|0— which changes nothing semantically — recovers7.5x of it.
Measured
Micro (
charCodeAt+ numeric comparison loop): 225 ms -> 40 ms, a 5.6x speedup.Every other line in the same file is unchanged, so the change is surgical.
Full 19-benchmark corpus, best-of-7 interleaved, byte-exact output verified on every run:
interpiso_missExactly the two rows whose profiles showed
abstract_relational. No regressions.Correctness
The risk in a fast path on spec-defined comparison is silently diverging, so:
signed zero, NaN, infinities, int32 boundaries, strings,
null/undefined/booleans,BigInts and objects) — patched build is byte-identical to the pre-patch build, and
both match Node on every case.
f64comparisons already deliver this);-0 < 0false and-0 <= 0true are pinned by test.undefined,null,true,false, strings, BigInts, objects) fallthrough to the unchanged
abstract_relational, so anything that can run a uservalueOf/toStringis untouched — no new GC exposure.Tests
Four regression tests in
rel_numeric_fastpath_tests. Sabotage-tested: makingrel_numeric_operandaccept every operand — the classic unguarded-fcmpbug — turns 2 ofthe 4 red, so they are not vacuous.
