The callee and this-value preservation copies only matter while later
argument expressions are still being evaluated. For zero-argument calls
there is nothing left to clobber them, so we can keep the original
operand and let the interpreter load it directly.
This removes the hot Mov arg0->reg pattern from zero-argument local
calls and reduces register pressure.
Specialize only the fixed unary case in the bytecode generator and let
all other argument counts keep using the generic Call instruction. This
keeps the builtin bytecode simple while still covering the common fast
path.
The asm interpreter handles int32 inputs directly, applies the ToUint16
mask in-place, and reuses the VM's cached ASCII single-character
strings when the result is 7-bit representable. Non-ASCII single code
unit results stay on the dedicated builtin path via a small helper, and
the dedicated slow path still handles the generic cases.
Tag String.prototype.charAt as a builtin and emit a dedicated
bytecode instruction for non-computed calls.
The asm interpreter can then stay on the fast path when the
receiver is a primitive string with resident UTF-16 data and the
selected code unit is ASCII. In that case we can return the VM's
cached empty or single-character ASCII string directly.
Teach builtin call specialization to recognize non-computed
member calls to charCodeAt() and emit a dedicated builtin opcode.
Mark String.prototype.charCodeAt with that builtin tag, then add
an asm interpreter fast path for primitive-string receivers whose
UTF-16 data is already resident.
The asm path handles both ASCII-backed and UTF-16-backed resident
strings, returns NaN for out-of-bounds Int32 indices, and falls
back to the generic builtin call path for everything else. This
keeps the optimistic case in asm while preserving the ordinary
method call semantics when charCodeAt has been replaced or when
string resolution would be required.
Replace the generic CallBuiltin instruction with one opcode per
supported builtin call and make those instructions fixed-size by
arity. This removes the builtin dispatch sled in the asm
interpreter, gives each builtin a dedicated slow-path entry point,
and lets bytecode generation encode the callee shape directly.
Keep the existing handwritten asm fast paths for the Math builtins
that already benefit from them, while routing the other builtin
opcodes through their own C++ execute implementations. Build the
new opcode directly in Rust codegen, and keep the generic call
fallback when the original builtin function has been replaced.
Folded StringToNumber() and StringToBigInt() detected non-decimal
prefixes by slicing the string at byte offset 2. On UTF-8 input this
could split at a non-character boundary and panic.
To prevent this, we replace the byte-based split with ASCII prefix
stripping and preserve rejection of empty suffixes such as "0x", "0o",
and "0b" explicitly before parsing the remaining digits.
This makes non-decimal prefix folding UTF-8-safe and preserves the
expected invalid-result behavior for empty prefixed literals.
Tests:
Add regression coverage for folded StringToNumber() and StringToBigInt()
non-decimal prefix handling to validate the UTF-8 safety fix as
'string-to-number-and-bigint-non-decimal-prefixes.js'.
These tests ensure empty suffixes like "0x", "0o", and "0b" and
other invalid prefixed forms stay invalid, while valid prefixed
literals continue to be accepted.
Since we removed a byte-index split in folded
StringToNumber()/StringToBigInt() coercion that could panic when byte
index 2 landed inside a multi-byte UTF-8 scalar, we add regression
tests for representative panic-shape inputs to ensure these coercions
now return invalid results instead of crashing as
'string-to-number-and-bigint-utf8-boundary.js'
Cache the flattened enumerable key snapshot for each `for..in` site and
reuse a `PropertyNameIterator` when the receiver shape, dictionary
generation, indexed storage kind and length, prototype chain
validity, and magical-length state still match.
Handle packed indexed receivers as well as plain named-property
objects. Teach `ObjectPropertyIteratorNext` in `asmint.asm` to return
cached property values directly and to fall back to the slow iterator
logic when any guard fails.
Treat arrays' hidden non-enumerable `length` property as a visited
name for for-in shadowing, and include the receiver's magical-length
state in the cache key so arrays and plain objects do not share
snapshots.
Add `test-js` and `test-js-bytecode` coverage for mixed numeric and
named keys, packed receiver transitions, re-entry, iterator reuse, GC
retention, array length shadowing, and same-site cache reuse.
Noticed this pattern when reading some minified JS while debugging a
seemingly unrelated problem and immediately got suspicious because of my
earlier, similar fixes.
x >> 0 is a common JS idiom equivalent to ToInt32(x). We already had
this optimization for x | 0, now do it for right shift by zero as well.
This allows the asmint handler for ToInt32 to run instead of the more
expensive RightShift handler, which wastes time loading and checking the
rhs operand and performing a shift by zero.
Now that the C++ bytecode pipeline has been removed, we no longer
need to match its register allocation or block layout. This removes:
- All manual drop() calls that existed solely to match C++ register
lifetimes, replaced with scope blocks to naturally limit register
lifetimes without increasing register pressure.
- The unnecessary saved_property copy in update expressions. The
property register is now used directly since emit_update_op
doesn't evaluate user expressions that could mutate it. The copy
is retained in compound/logical assignments where the RHS can
mutate the property variable (e.g. a[i] |= a[++i]).
- All "matching C++", "Match C++", etc. comments throughout
codegen.rs and generator.rs that referenced the removed pipeline.
Replace the BytecodeFactory header with cbindgen.
This will help ensure that types and enums and constants are kept in
sync between the C++ and Rust code. It's also a step in exporting more
Rust enums directly rather than relying on magic constants for
switch statements.
The FFI functions are now all placed in the JS::FFI namespace, which
is the cause for all the churn in the scripting parts of LibJS and
LibWeb.
This error was found by asking an LLM to generate additional, related
test cases for the bug affecting https://volkswagen.de fixed in an

An unconditional call to `copy_if_needed_to_preserve_evaluation_order`
in this place was showing up quiet significantly in the JS benchmarks.
To avoid the regression, there is now a small heuristic that avoids the
unnecessary Mov instruction in the vast majority of cases. This is
likely not the best way to deal with this. But the changes in the
current patch set are focussed on correctness, not performance. So I
opted for a localized, minimal-impact solution to the performance
regression.
