Summary

OpenCode's class-heavy native module graph saturates the existing prototype-address filter, making is_registered_class_prototype_object fall through to an O(classes) forward-map scan on every Object.defineProperty. In the symbolized startup profile, that one scan accounted for 13.4% of CPU.

This replaces the filter plus linear scan with an exact inverse address index. The index keeps reference counts because several class IDs may share a prototype, and every forward-map overwrite or copying-GC relocation rekeys it atomically with the authoritative table.

This is measured progress toward the broader OpenCode/Bun target; it does not claim that all of #10106's full-graph, Mac, RSS, and TUI acceptance criteria are complete.

Changes

  • Add a thread-local pointer-to-reference-count inverse index beside CLASS_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS.
  • Update it on ordinary registration, replacement, both mutable-root scanners, and the per-slot copying-GC path.
  • Remove the saturated monotone filter and the remaining linear membership scan.
  • Cover exact negative/positive membership, shared-prototype replacement, and old/new address membership after moving GC.

Refs #10106

This also removes the residual O(n) slope documented in #9225; #9291's filter hid it on smaller graphs but the OpenCode graph demonstrates that it saturates.

Test plan

  • cargo build --release clean
  • cargo test --workspace --exclude perry-ui-ios --exclude perry-ui-tvos --exclude perry-ui-watchos --exclude perry-ui-gtk4 --exclude perry-ui-android --exclude perry-ui-windows passes
  • ./scripts/test_affected_crates.sh --base upstream/main (runtime 3,662 passed / 4 ignored; Perry 1,106 passed; FFI 37 passed; dependent targets passed)
  • Focused exact-index and copying-GC relocation tests pass
  • cargo fmt --all --check, scripts/gc_pin_sites.py, and scripts/global_sink_isolation.py pass (0 hazards)
  • Added or updated #[test] coverage in the affected crate
  • (if CLI / stdlib / runtime API changed) Updated docs/src/ — n/a; no public API change
  • (if touching a platform UI backend) Built locally — n/a

Benchmark output

Linux x86_64, warm page cache, otherwise idle host; ten interleaved runs of the 2,954-native-module OpenCode v1.18.30 reduced startup fixture, using identical baseline-generated module objects and changing only the optimized runtime archive:

artifact median user CPU median wall median max RSS
upstream baseline 0.870 s 0.920 s 321,152 KiB
this PR 0.745 s (-14.4%) 0.785 s (-14.7%) 320,078 KiB (-0.3%)
official Bun binary (reference) 0.360 s 0.295 s ~197,000 KiB

The pre-change symbolized perf profile spent 13.40% in is_registered_class_prototype_object; the post-change profile no longer has that function/scan in its sampled hot list.

Walkthrough

The runtime replaces the class prototype address filter with a reference-counted exact address index. Registry updates and garbage-collection forwarding now rekey the index. Tests verify shared prototypes and relocated addresses.

Class prototype membership indexing

The runtime adds a reference-counted exact address index and uses it for prototype membership checks. Obsolete filter and scan-counter exports are removed. Documentation and probe tests describe exact membership behavior.

Registry writes and GC scanners rekey prototype addresses after replacement or forwarding. Test cleanup clears the index, and copying-collection tests verify new-address membership and old-address rejection.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0f9a2

Tests that remove a prototype root can leave stale membership behind, causing later tests to observe incorrect prototype registration. Update the inverse index during removal before merging.

153-157: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Synchronize the inverse index when the test removes a prototype root.

m.remove(&proto_cid) removes the forward-map entry but leaves its address count in CLASS_PROTOTYPE_ADDR_COUNTS. A later test can get a false positive from class_prototype_object_addr_index_contains.

Capture the removed address and call class_prototype_object_addr_index_rekey(old.unwrap_or(0), 0) after releasing the map lock.

Proposed fix
-    CLASS_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS.with(|table| {
+    let old = CLASS_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS.with(|table| {
         if let Some(m) = table.write().unwrap().as_mut() {
-            m.remove(&proto_cid);
+            m.remove(&proto_cid)
+        } else {
+            None
         }
     });
+    crate::object::class_registry::class_prototype_object_addr_index_rekey(
+        old.unwrap_or(0),
+        0,
+    );

Based on learnings: removal/deletion methods must update associated reverse mappings.

Train169 (#10141) lands on main at 0.5.1541; the PR did not bump the version,
which is the maintainer's job at merge time. Cargo.lock regenerated so every
workspace member's inherited version moves with it.

#10141 removes the class-prototype scan and the `Cell<u64>` counter that
observed it, so the holder its frontier entry named no longer exists. The gate
fails on the stale pin rather than on a new holder:

    gc_runtime_root_holders: these `frontier` entries no longer match an
    uncovered holder — delete them. (Going stale is what FIXING one looks
    like: the deletion is the receipt.)

Deleting the entry is that receipt. Frontier 418 -> 417.

Landed on main via merge train #10143 (rebase-merged, per-commit authorship preserved).

Your commits are on main starting at 5253a14593; the train tree was verified identical to main after the merge (git diff origin/main HEAD --stat empty).

One maintainer follow-up, and it is the good kind: gc_runtime_root_holders failed on a stale frontier pin rather than a new holder —

these `frontier` entries no longer match an uncovered holder — delete them.
(Going stale is what FIXING one looks like: the deletion is the receipt.)

  crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/parent_static.rs | TEST_CLASS_PROTOTYPE_SCANS

Removing the prototype scan also removed the Cell<u64> that observed it, so the pinned debt no longer exists. I confirmed it is absent from the tree before deleting the entry rather than deleting it to quiet the gate. Frontier 418 -> 417.

Validated with the full arms rather than the fast subset, since this rewrites class-registry GC root scanning: 5667 tests, zero failures, and 225 class-registry / GC-root tests confirmed to have actually run.

Closing as landed — GitHub cannot auto-close through a train branch.
