perf(json): serve object literals from the plain-record emitters; probe toJSON once per object - #11397
Merged
Conversation
…be toJSON once per object HIR lowers closed-shape object literals to anonymous `__AnonShape_*` classes, so `class_id != 0` held for essentially every literal and every plain-data JSON.stringify emitter (flat, record output, nested records, data record, shape template, primitive object) declined it. They only ever served JSON.parse output (#10529). - `class_is_plain_record(class_id)`: a registered anon shape with an empty class surface (no vtable, prototype object, parent or class name) and no toJSON on its chain. Stored as one more bit in the existing per-class toJSON memo entry, under the same generations; no new table. - The emitters gate on it instead of `class_id != 0`. - `stringify_object_inner` no longer re-probes an object whose parent (the member loop or the root entry) just performed its toJSON lookup: a one-shot address token, `TO_JSON_RESOLVED_FOR`, taken at every walk entry and cleared when the parent's dispatch returns (#10696). This also reads a toJSON accessor once, as the spec does. - Every raw emitter now declines an object that could inherit a toJSON (class chain, Object.setPrototypeOf, Object.prototype). Previously the shape template's primitive-only loop and the one-field primitive emitter skipped the lookup entirely, so `[p, p]` of re-prototyped JSON.parse records dropped their inherited toJSON (a bug on main for class_id 0). - `stringify_object_inner` consumes an armed SUPPRESS_NEXT_TO_JSON at entry, so a toJSON result that is a plain record cannot leak the one-shot into its first child's toJSON. Instructions per JSON.stringify (callgrind, perry-dev runtime, same compiler, N=2k..20k delta): {hello:"world"} 4,881 -> 1,702; fastify user payload 10,911 -> 3,333; 16 literal records 75,203 -> 27,983; {a:{b:{c:{d:{e:1}}}}} 16,653 -> 15,146; 16 JSON.parse records 26,951 -> 28,245 (+4.8%, the per-element inherited-toJSON check that fixes the [p, p] bug).

Invalidate the plain-record memo when registering a class name.
js_register_class_name changes whether an ID is eligible for class_is_plain_record, but it does not advance the lookup-surface generation. A cached true verdict can therefore survive registration, even though the uncached predicate requires no registered name. This admits the declared class to plain-record emitters against the repository’s eligibility contract.
This does not establish incorrect JSON by itself. The issue is the stale eligibility result.

…bject (#10696) JSON.stringify paid ~2,680 instructions per nested object after #10717 and #11397. Callgrind put the bulk in three places: - stringify_object_inner re-derived the receiver's keys through the shape table on every key access: ~5 shape_descriptor_by_id probes per object at 86 Ir each. The walk now resolves keys and the live slot bound once (object_keys_and_live_slot_count) and re-derives them only after a call that can run user code or collect. - every object member went through member_to_json's and stringify_value_depth's guard chains, both of which end at the same walk. plain_object_member now admits an ordinary object with a plain-record class, no meta record, no toJSON-ish own key and a clean Object.prototype verdict, and hands its shape facts and array-index-key answer (one fused key scan) to the member's walk. - the Object.prototype signature was revalidated per object. The stringify-wide proof is now threaded through the walk with the shape template's data_record_global_proof contract, cleared before anything that can run user code. The same admission serves a compact root. The root no longer builds a single-use shape template, and the general root path no longer allocates a heap "" for its toJSON key. Array records publish their index key only where the element's own toJSON can read it, formatted with itoa, and write_number drops a libm trunc call. The object walk moves to json/stringify_object.rs for the file-size gate. No new side table, no version bump. {a:{b:{c:{d:{e:1}}}}}: 15,748 -> 7,338 Ir/op. Per nested object ~2,680 -> ~960. Output identical to Node 26.5.1 on every benchmark shape and on the new test_gap_json_plain_member_walk.ts, which mutates Object.prototype.toJSON mid-walk from every kind of callback.

Summary
Object literals compile to anonymous
__AnonShape_*classes, soclass_id != 0is true of almost every literal. Every plain-dataJSON.stringifyemitter usedclass_id != 0as its gate, so none of them ever served a literal, onlyJSON.parseoutput. That was most of #10529's fixed cost per call. Separately, every nested object was probed fortoJSONtwice (#10696). This PR admits literals to those emitters with a precise per-class check and drops the second probe. It also fixes threetoJSONbugs the new paths exposed, two of which already exist onmainforJSON.parseoutput.No version bump. No new side tables: the per-class verdict is one more bit in the existing
toJSONmemo entry, and the probe hand-off is a single one-shot thread-local cell.Changes
class_is_plain_record(class_id)(json/stringify_tojson_probe.rs): true for a registered anon shape whose class surface is empty and whose chain has notoJSON. "Empty surface" uses the thenable probe's existingclass_registry_inert(nowpub(crate)): no vtable, no prototype object, no parent. It also requires no registered class name, which catches a declared class whose per-module id collides with an anon-shape id. The bit is cached in the existingCLASS_CHAIN_TOJSON_MEMOentry under the same three generations.class_id != 0.member_to_json) and the root entry already perform a child'stoJSONlookup before dispatching it. They now hand the verdict to the child'sstringify_object_innerthroughTO_JSON_RESOLVED_FOR, a one-shot address token:toJSONaccessor is now read once per value, as the spec requires.toJSONthrough raw emitters. The shape template's primitive-only loop and the one-field primitive emitter never looked uptoJSON. Every raw emitter now declines an object that could inherit one: from its class, a recordedObject.setPrototypeOf, orObject.prototype. Onmain,[p, p]withp = Object.setPrototypeOf(JSON.parse('{"a":1}'), {toJSON(){…}})emits[{"a":1},{"a":1}]; Node emits["P","P"]. The array template reuses the existing stringify-widedata_record_global_proof, soObject.prototypeis not re-validated for every record.toJSON.{ get toJSON() {…} }inside an array is probed via the descriptor flag. It previously relied on the literal's non-zeroclass_id.SUPPRESS_NEXT_TO_JSONleak.stringify_object_innerconsumes the one-shot at entry.
