perf: plain function constructors and instanceof from shape facts (#10507) - #11787
Conversation
…ord (#10507) `new F()` and `x instanceof F` on a plain `function` went through every exotic-callee probe (builtins by code pointer, bound, proxy, native-module exports), three hash tables keyed by address (FUNCTION_CLASS_IDS, CLASS_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS, the own-symbol table) and two shape interns per construction. - perry-abi: FN_COMPILED_BODY marks every info perry-codegen renders, so an ordinary compiled function is a fact of its body, decided once. - Construction reads F.prototype through F's ShapeId (a per-agent ShapeId to slot cache) and replays the birth record kept on the prototype object (ObjectMeta::instance_birth: class id and birth ShapeId, minted by the first ordinary construction, cleared when that class's registered prototype moves), then enters the body directly. - instanceof with an ordinary compiled F is one shape compare when x's ShapeId names F.prototype, else OrdinaryHasInstance's prototype walk for an object of no compiled class: an object created before F.prototype was reassigned is no longer an instance. A bound function answers for its target. - A method call whose name a class also declares sends receivers of no such class to the method site (direct call of an inherited F.prototype method) instead of the own-property probe and the by-name dispatcher. Instructions per op (issue repro): new F 5,048 -> 1,898, instanceof 2,809 -> 425, decimal.js-shaped x.plus(i) 15,848 -> 5,003. tsc -1.43%, Zod -0.13%, outputs equal to node.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new function-constructor and instanceof fast paths look sound. The changelog overstates the performance gains, so correct its numbers before or shortly after merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The changes affect object identity and call behavior across compiled programs. Eligibility checks and guarded fallbacks limit the demonstrated exposure, and no introduced security failure was established.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Correct the reported benchmark results.
The PR summary reports 1,898 instructions for new F() and 5,003 for the decimal.js-shaped case, not approximately 1,150 and 4,300. The new F() value matters because 1,898 does not meet #10507’s 1,300-instruction target. Use the validated results in the changelog, or identify a newer measurement.

Closes #10507 partially: plain function constructors (
new F(),instanceof F,F.prototypemethods) are 2.7–6.6× cheaper.Instructions per op
new E(), empty function ctorfe instanceof Enew KE,instanceof KE)Where the cost was on main
new E(): about 40% probed whetherEis a builtin, bound function, proxy or native export. About 20% went to three address-keyed hash tables plus two hashed shape lookups. About 21% linked each instance to its prototype through a new 152-byte meta record.instanceof: an own-@@hasInstancetable probe on every call, the class-id hash path, and builtin brand checks run against a user function.What changed
FN_COMPILED_BODY: a new ABI bit that codegen sets on every function body it emits. "Ordinary function" is decided once per body, not probed per call.new F(): readsF.prototypethrough F's ShapeId, then replays a birth record kept on the prototype: class id and birth ShapeId, stored inObjectMeta::instance_birth. The record is minted on the first construction and cleared when that class's registered prototype moves. The body is called directly.instanceof: one shape compare when the receiver's ShapeId namesF.prototype; otherwise the spec prototype walk decides. This fixes two main bugs:F.prototypewas reassigned were still reported as instances;F.prototypemethods are called directly.tsc and Zod (n=5 interleaved)
