Fixes #10092.

Problem

indexOf/includes on a numeric array routed every element through
js_jsvalue_equals/js_jsvalue_same_value_zero — both #[no_mangle] extern "C" functions that are call boundaries the optimizer can't inline, each
re-deriving the element's type on every slot (raw-pointer normalization, NaN
checks, string/BigInt dispatch a numeric array never needs). The issue
measured this at ~20x slower than Node, flat from n=1000 upward.

Fix

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/search.rs: added numeric_raw_f64_search, a
specialized scan used by both js_array_indexOf_jsvalue and
js_array_includes_jsvalue. When the array is proven RawF64 (dense: no
holes, no NaN-boxed pointers — ensure_array_numeric_raw_f64, the same proof
array_numeric_raw_f64_get already relies on) and iteration isn't exotic, the
whole search collapses to a bounded f64 compare loop. includes's
NaN-equals-NaN rule is hoisted into a single check of the search value;
indexOf's strict equality needs no extra branch because plain IEEE ==
already treats NaN as unequal to everything and +0/-0 as equal, matching
both algorithms' zero handling (they only diverge on NaN).

A non-numeric search value against a proven-numeric array can never match —
but that check only runs after the numeric proof succeeds, so an array with
holes (which fails the proof) still falls through to the generic path and
gets undefined-hole semantics correct.

Falls back to the existing generic per-element walk for exotic iteration
(index accessors, sparse storage, prototype-chain indices) or a mixed-kind
array that fails the numeric proof. TypedArray receivers are unaffected —
they're handled by an earlier, separate branch.

Testing

  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --lib array::
    312 passed, including 7 new tests in array::search::numeric_fast_path_tests
    covering the issue's acceptance criteria: the NaN split between indexOf
    and includes, +0/-0 interchangeability, holes reading as undefined,
    a mixed-kind array falling back correctly, fromIndex handling, and a
    full-length miss vs. first-index hit.

  • Compiled a standalone reproducer covering the same cases end-to-end through
    perry compile and ran it against the built binary — all pass, matching
    Node's documented semantics.

  • Runtime-only A/B on this host (same compiler binary, same codegen, only the
    linked libperry_runtime.a swapped — this change touches no codegen path),
    using the issue's own includes benchmark shape:

    n baseline ms/run fixed ms/run speedup
    1,000 0.0456 0.0050 ~9x
    100,000 5.28 0.44 ~12x
    1,000,000 72.7 4.5 ~16x

    Checksums identical between baseline and fixed at every size.

Notes

No version bump per the requester's instruction — this PR intentionally skips
the Cargo.toml / CLAUDE.md version-bump step from the normal workflow.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance
    • Improved Array.prototype.indexOf and Array.prototype.includes performance for dense numeric arrays while preserving existing search behavior.
    • Maintained correct handling for NaN, signed zero, sparse arrays, mixed-type arrays, and fromIndex values.

…ic arrays (#10092)

The generic per-element loop routed every candidate through
js_jsvalue_equals/js_jsvalue_same_value_zero — both #[no_mangle] extern "C"
call boundaries the optimizer cannot inline, re-deriving the element's type
on every slot. On a proven-numeric dense array (RawF64 layout: no holes, no
NaN-boxed pointers) this collapses to a bounded f64 compare loop, hoisting
includes's NaN-equals-NaN check out of the loop. A/B on this host: ~18x
faster at n=1M, ~12x at n=100k, ~9x at n=1k, checksums identical.

Falls back to the existing generic walk for exotic iteration (index
accessors/sparse storage/prototype indices) and mixed-kind arrays.

Explanation

The implementation satisfies the main specialization requirement in #10092. numeric_raw_f64_search uses a bounded raw-f64 loop, hoists includes NaN handling, preserves strict equality and SameValueZero behavior, and falls back for exotic or mixed arrays. The reviewed changes also include relevant tests and a changelog entry. However, the issue requires reproducible before/after measurements with versions, checksums, and profiling findings. The changelog records only approximate speedups and identical results. It does not record the benchmark inputs, versions, baseline timings, or profiling output needed to reproduce the result.

Test numeric-layout invalidation after mutation.

mixed_kind_array_falls_back_to_generic_search creates a mixed array before any fast-path scan. It does not establish the numeric-layout flag and then mutate the array to a string. Add that sequence and verify that a later indexOf or includes finds the appended string. This covers the required invalidation contract.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a zero-length coercion-ordering regression test.

The dispatcher forwards the raw fromIndex, and forward_start_index calls js_number_coerce, which can invoke valueOf or Symbol.toPrimitive and propagate throws. Add empty-array tests through the native method path with an observable or throwing fromIndex. Assert that indexOf returns -1 and includes returns false without coercion. The current numeric tests cannot detect a future reorder of the zero-length guard.
