perf(codegen): take the TAG_HOLE compare off the polymorphic way hit too (-4.0 instructions per way-served read) - #10968

…t too PerryTS#10826 removed the compare from the shape-gated MRU hit, on the proof that every successful delete moves the receiver's ShapeId, so an exact-id match proves the slot it names is live. The way path kept its copy, with the emitter's own note that removing it was "a separate, measured change". This is that change. A way pair needs no argument of its own. `pic_prime_get` is the ONLY writer of a way, and the only values it ever writes into one are `prev_tok` / `prev_slot` -- the pair that was sitting in the MRU entry. Every `(token, slot)` a way holds is therefore an MRU pair that aged out; the token it is compared against is the same receiver ShapeId word the MRU compare reads; and ShapeIds are never reused. Whatever makes the MRU pair safe to load without a hole check makes the way pair safe -- the entry did not become weaker by moving one word over. The two ways in which a way pair differs both narrow it: an overflow-encoded slot is refused entry to a way at all, and a way is consulted only after the MRU entry has missed. `pic.way.live` goes with the compare: the load block has nothing left to decide, so it ends in the load and a branch to the merge. The two codegen tests that pinned the compare as PRESENT now pin it as absent, and the block-set test drops `pic.way.live`.
… site test_parity_delete_shape_transition.ts covered deletes observed through monomorphic sites only. Section 9 makes five shapes resident in ONE site's cache -- the MRU entry plus the four ways -- then deletes the read key off two of the receivers, one with the key on its prototype and one without, reads back through the same site, and re-adds. It passes on both arms of this branch, as it must: it guards the way path's JS-visible behaviour, it is not a discriminator for the compare removal. The discriminator is the pair of codegen tests, which fail on the base emitter.

Retire PERRY_DELETE_SHAPE_TRANSITION=0 before removing this check.
PERRY_DELETE_SHAPE_TRANSITION=0 remains a supported kill-switch mode. In this mode, a successful delete preserves the receiver ShapeId and writes TAG_HOLE to the deleted slot. An existing way token therefore still matches, and the changed way path returns the raw TAG_HOLE value instead of taking the miss path.
Remove or hard-disable this mode with this change. Otherwise, retain the TAG_HOLE check.

What
#10826 took the per-read
TAG_HOLEcompare off the generic property read's shape-gated MRU hit, and left the same compare on the polymorphic way path with a note that removing it was "a separate, measured change". This is that change.pic.way.livegoes with the compare: the load block has nothing left to decide, so it ends in the load and a branch to the merge.Why it is safe
A way pair is not a second kind of cache entry that needs an argument of its own.
pic_prime_get(crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/ic_miss.rs:367) is the only writer of a way, and the only values it ever writes into one areprev_tok/prev_slot— the pair that was sitting in the MRU entry. Every(token, slot)a way holds is therefore an MRU pair that aged out.token: the same receiver ShapeId word the MRU compare reads. The way block is dominated bypic.token(perf(codegen): the PIC miss block re-derived the whole receiver ladder — interp −11.2% instructions #7907), so it is literally the same SSA value, not a re-derived one.deletea shape transition, not a stable tombstone #10826 made every successful delete move the receiver's shape word. Both delete lanes publish a transition —delete_rest.rs:507(publish_object_shape_delete_transition) anddelete_rest.rs:989("a delete MOVES the shape word, exactly as injs_object_delete_field") — and when the keys array is owned the predecessor id is retired.So whatever makes the MRU pair safe to load without a hole check makes the way pair safe: the entry did not become weaker by moving one word over. The two ways in which a way pair differs from an MRU pair both narrow it — an overflow-encoded slot is refused entry to a way at all (
pic_prime_get'sprev_is_overflow, #9287), and a way is consulted only after the MRU entry has already missed.The hole stays in the SLOT, so every path that reaches a slot without a shape-hit proof — the spill arm, a keys-array scan,
object_field_at, every walker — must still treat it as absent, and still does. Nothing here touches those.Measurement
Each arm is a PAIR built from the same tree with the same build line (the compiler refuses an archive whose source hash is not its own), and the runtime source is identical on both arms — this is a codegen-only change, so the two binaries differ only in emission.

It passes on both arms, as it must — it guards the way path's JS-visible behaviour rather than discriminating the compare's removal, and I could not construct a supported configuration in which it fails (see the follow-up below).matrix/largegate.shon the head pair: GATE PASSED —typescript 5.8.2 96760(compiled and ran).Follow-up
The emitter's #10826 note also said
PERRY_DELETE_SHAPE_TRANSITION=0"must be retired with that PR, not kept". It was not, and that is already filed as #10879 — this PR does not change it either way. Worth recording there: I could not make the switch produce a wrong answer from compiled code on either arm (the delete-parity fixture and the way-path delete fixture both still match node withPERRY_DELETE_SHAPE_TRANSITION=0), which is consistent withpublish_object_shape_holesfalling through to a fresh semantic generation whentry_update_stable_tombstone_shapedeclines. There is no compiled-code test that drives the switch at all today.Summary by CodeRabbit
