perf(runtime): one shape-descriptor lookup per dynamic write IC hit, not two - #8975
Conversation
shape_descriptor_by_id was 10.5% of self time in a computed-key write loop — the single largest item — and half of it was a duplicate. object_shape_id runs a full table lookup and copies the whole ShapeDescriptor out purely to prove the stamped id is live, then discards it; dyn_ic_try_store's bound check then looked the same id up again, and both write re-prime sites did the same after already holding a descriptor. Read the stamp off the header instead. In try_store the token compare now runs first, so a wrong-shape receiver costs a load and a compare with no table work at all, and the single lookup that supplies the slot bound doubles as the liveness proof: a stamp with no live descriptor returns None exactly where object_shape_id's 0 made the token compare fail before. At the two re-prime sites the descriptor is already in hand, so the token comes from the header word directly. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ay8VyLkKbm8Hkc1xmvTEsP
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe write inline-cache paths now read shape stamps from object headers. Dynamic hits compare the stamp before table work and use one descriptor lookup for slot bounds and liveness. Static and dynamic miss paths use the same stamp-based token construction.

This comment says shape_descriptor_by_id was 10.5% of self time. The PR summary and changelog.d/8975-single-shape-lookup-per-ic-hit.md report 7.01% before the change and 3.49% after it for the same computed-key write loop. Change 10.5% or identify the separate benchmark that produced it.

shape_descriptor_by_idwas the largest single item in a computed-key write profile (10.5% at the time it was found). The mechanism is verified directly: in that loop it falls 7.01% → 3.49% of self time, andobject_shape_id(1.32%) leaves the profile entirely.The wall clock is a smaller story, and I would rather state it than round it up. Interleaved A/B, min-of-21, quiet load (~1.15), built from the exact parent commit and this commit in one run:
So: a small, mechanically-confirmed reduction on the loop it targets, and neutral elsewhere. It is worth having because it is strictly less work for identical semantics, not because it moves a headline number.
An earlier comparison of mine suggested −7% to −12%; that was against binaries built before #8970 and #8971 merged, so it was crediting this change with their gains. The table above is against the correct parent.
