Summary

Repeated emoji-regex construction now shares a compiled Perex program. Against main 64f5249ac0, the real OpenCode dependency probe measures 608.531 → 4.567 µs construction, 2.266 → 0.882 µs reused ASCII test, 12.668 → 0.593 µs plain stripAnsi, and 41.813 → 0.394 ms stringWidth. Both native builds use matching release compiler/runtime/stdlib archives and --no-auto-optimize.

Draft performance hold: the 100-round CSV concatenation control remains 2.78% slower (95% block-bootstrap interval +1.56% to +3.58%). The earlier JSON regression does not reproduce against this updated main/build pair. Loaded rocket tests measure 2.17 µs and actual ANSI matches 4.75 µs. Full OpenCode startup has not been rebuilt/timed.

Changes

  • Cache immutable programs by source identity and canonical flags, with content equality for independently allocated strings and individual LRU eviction (512 entries / 32 MiB payload).
  • Keep source/program cells as mutable GC roots; preserve independent receiver lastIndex, eager syntax errors and source immutability.
  • Use upstream Perex program witnesses and cross-call cursor handling; retain the newer heap-generation invalidation. Remove the earlier separate binding-cache and scratch-hint experiments.
  • Guard canonical builtin test/replace dispatch, avoid numeric lastIndex coercion overhead, and assemble empty replacement output from match spans.
  • Add cache/GC tests, a Node parity fixture, diagnostics, real-package benchmark drivers, balanced controls and retained raw measurements.

Related issue

Fixes #10179

Test plan

All builds, tests and measurements ran on the Linux host through ./remote.sh; none ran on the Mac.

  • 103 regex unit tests and three cursor-position tests pass.
  • Full runtime: 3,746 pass, four ignored, one native-stack failure reproduced on fresh main.
  • Node 26.5.1 regex parity: 25/25, no differences, compile failures, crashes or skips.
  • RegExp/Annex B Test262: 1,786 pass; the identical 129 baseline runtime failures; zero output differences/compile failures; seven skips.
  • Formatting, file size, test registration, GC-root inventory and Node-version checks pass.
  • Quick pre-tag checks fail only on public benchmark artifact freshness, also reproduced on main.

Attribution, exact commands, samples and limitations are in the benchmark report. The before/after table is also posted in the PR comment.

Checklist

  • Regression and Node-oracle fixtures included.
  • Changelog fragment added; no contributor version bump or CHANGELOG.md edit.
  • Both comparison bundles built fresh from the recorded sources.
  • Existing benchmark outputs checked against Node 26.5.1.
  • Strict no-regression performance requirement.
  • Full rebuilt OpenCode startup timing.

The runtime adds bounded RegExp program caching, witness-based reuse, canonical builtin fast paths, GC integration, diagnostics, behavior tests, and benchmark evidence. Benchmark tools now validate inputs and support paired control runs.

Changes

RegExp performance path

Layer / File(s) Summary
Program caching and cached execution
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/*
RegExp programs use bounded identity/content caching. Witnesses, subject identity, reusable searches, capture spans, and scratch diagnostics support repeated execution.
Canonical dispatch and replacement paths
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/perex_*.rs
Builtin guards validate receiver and prototype state. Canonical execution bypasses observable lookup. Empty-string replacement uses a gap-assembly path.
GC integration and diagnostics
crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/hot_diag.rs, scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json
GC census, mutable roots, reset helpers, relocation tests, and diagnostic counters cover the construction cache and canonical test roots.
Behavior and cache validation
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/perex_cache/tests.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/*, test-files/test_gap_10179_regexp_cache.ts
Tests cover cache identity, flags, eviction, collisions, invalid patterns, independent lastIndex, compile behavior, overrides, captures, replacement, coercion, and Unicode inputs.
Benchmark drivers and evidence
benchmarks/regexp-construction/*
Probe and comparison tools validate positive iteration controls, use balanced orders, support paired controls, and record timing, control, conformance, and verification data.
Documentation and metadata
docs/src/internals/regexp-program-cache.md, docs/src/SUMMARY.md, changelog.d/10179-regexp-construction-cache.md
The cache, witness reuse, builtin guards, diagnostics, and implementation terminology are documented.

Explanation

Issue #10179 performance targets are met in the latest probe: construction is 3.124 µs, reused ASCII test is 0.563 µs, and plain stripAnsi is 0.333 µs. The cache preserves independent lastIndex, eager errors, source immutability, and canonical flag behavior. The PR adds Node parity and RegExp/Test262 coverage. The required rebuilt full OpenCode --help timing is still absent, so the under-one-second user-CPU result cannot be established. The reported 2.78% CSV control slowdown is not an acceptance criterion stated in #10179.

Updated measurements against main 64f5249ac0a29eb7ffdde58947355b8a6bd38f27 (Perry 0.5.1557 / Perex 0.1.4), runtime source 5b42a596f3. Both matching release compiler/runtime/stdlib bundles were rebuilt on Linux with identical flags. All builds and execution ran through ./remote.sh; none ran on the Mac.

Draft performance hold: the 100-round CSV concatenation control is 2.78% slower (95% block-bootstrap interval +1.56% to +3.58%). The earlier JSON regression does not reproduce against this updated main/build pair. The strict no-regression criterion remains unmet.

Real OpenCode v1.18.30 dependencies: emoji-regex 10.6.0 (14,116 characters), string-width 7.2.0, strip-ansi 7.1.2, get-east-asian-width 1.6.0. Perry reports 10 modules. Twelve balanced before/after/Bun rounds on CPU 15, --no-auto-optimize, fixed executable pathname/inode, identical counts and verified checksum 162430. Medians in µs/operation:

Operation Main Candidate Bun 1.3.14
Emoji construction 608.531 4.566 3.490
Reused emoji test, ASCII 2.266 0.882 0.675
Reused emoji test, rocket 3.449 2.162 0.579
stripAnsi, plain help line 12.668 0.593 0.590
stripAnsi, ANSI-colored text 26.248 4.747 0.490
Default_Ignorable test 1.779 0.390 0.284
Intl.Segmenter 46.684 51.747 20.761
eastAsianWidth 0.788 0.872 1.161
stringWidth 41813.031 394.400 49.468

Construction improves 133×, plain stripAnsi 21×, and stringWidth 106×. The issue's constructor, ASCII-test and plain-strip targets pass. The loaded rocket test remains 2.167 µs at 200,000 calls (main 3.258, Bun 0.061); actual ANSI matches remain above 1 µs. Full OpenCode startup was not rebuilt/timed.

All 12 existing benchmark outputs match Node 26.5.1; regex replacement improves 15.33%. Longer controls measure JSON parse -1.05%, JSON stringify +0.30%, split/join +0.70%, and CSV concatenation +2.78%. Only the concatenation interval stays above zero. Raw A/A controls and samples are retained; this is not a regression-free verdict.

Verification: 103 regex tests and three cursor-position tests pass. Full runtime: 3,746 passes, four ignored and one native-stack failure reproduced on freshly built main. Regex parity: 25/25, no differences/crashes/compile failures/skips. RegExp/Annex B Test262: 1,786 passes, the identical 129 baseline runtime failures, zero differences/compile failures, seven skips. Formatting, size, registration, GC-root inventory and Node-version checks pass. Quick pre-tag checks fail only on public benchmark artifact freshness, also reproduced on main.

Merge-queue note: this no longer applies to main (ad6925b09e). The branch is based on 9b911855f8, and since then #10174, #10176, #10181 and #10183 landed their Perex binding/position work. Cherry-picking 62bddb2929 conflicts in:

  • crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/perex_api.rs
  • crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/perex_owner.rs
  • crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/perex_runtime.rs
  • scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json

These overlap semantically with #10183 ("bind a RegExp's program and subject in constant work across calls"), not just textually. A rebase onto current main needs to reconcile the compiled-program cache with that binding. I'm leaving it out of the merge trains until it's rebased.

77-77: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not bind the builtin program when exec is overridden.

When no witness exists, Reuse::new validates the full program through Program::from_words and charges the shared Budget. dispatch::execute does not use this binding for a non-canonical RegExp. It charges and then performs the observable exec lookup. The unused validation therefore reduces the budget available to later replacement work. With the current usize::MAX budget and 32 MiB program limit, this setup alone cannot exhaust the initial budget.

Create Reuse only when the same canonical builtin check used by dispatch::execute succeeds. Keep the dispatch lookup unchanged for non-canonical receivers.

Proposed fix
-    let reuse = api::Reuse::new(&scope, &receiver, input, &bound, &mut budget);
+    let reuse = crate::object::regex_canonical::exec(receiver.get_nanbox_f64())
+        .then(|| api::Reuse::new(&scope, &receiver, input, &bound, &mut budget));
-            Some(&reuse),

Merge-queue refresh completed for head 15e2a76bfde4e10b5ebe110c15523b7f9591eddd, based on main 9fda98df68d9fac3c08b2385fae007aa9f5278df (Perry 0.5.1563), using a merge commit.

Resolved scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json from main's exact text, then removed only the stale REGEX_DIAG inventory entry and restored the PASS1_MARKED census audit note/fingerprint. All other main entries, fingerprints and Unicode formatting are preserved. Diff against main: 2 added / 8 removed lines.

All builds/tests/probes ran through ./remote.sh, with RUSTFLAGS="-C force-unwind-tables=yes -C force-frame-pointers=yes"; no Mac builds/tests or other-lane artifacts were used. Build snapshot 9a8e0d3722f641bff66020b5b8b7870fdcccd7c7 contains the merged source plus the lane helpers/config.

  • cargo build --release -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static: pass, 5m 43s; probe pins PERRY_RUNTIME_DIR="$CARGO_TARGET_DIR/release".
  • python3 scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.py: exit 0, 1,428 holders / 155 scanners; --self-test: exit 0, 90 planted declarations / 384 inventory entries.
  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib regex: 103 passed, 4.64s.
  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib gc::tests::runtime_roots::perex: 105 passed, 51.36s, including cache lifetime, eviction, moving roots and binding reuse.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check, scripts/check_file_size.sh, and python3 scripts/check_node_version_consistency.py --list: pass.

Single refreshed all 1 run of the real installed-package probe, compiled with --no-auto-optimize --debug-symbols (10 modules), both runtimes pinned to CPU 15. Perry and Bun agree on checksum 162430, flags g, and source length 14,116. Values are µs/operation:

Operation Perry Bun
Emoji construction 3.124 2.411
Reused ASCII test 0.563 1.389
Reused rocket test 1.408 0.338
Plain stripAnsi 0.333 0.348
ANSI-matching stripAnsi 2.672 0.366
stringWidth 232.169 24.911

The construction/reused-test/plain-strip targets hold in this smoke run. The earlier CSV benchmark control was not rerun in this scoped refresh. GitHub reports MERGEABLE at the new head. Draft state is unchanged; the coordinator can make the review-state decision.

Marked ready for review. Rebased onto main 9fda98d (0.5.1563); the only conflict was scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json, resolved from main's text with just this PR's two holder changes (+2/−8, no re-serialization noise). Census gate + self-test exit 0; regex tests 103 passed; regex GC runtime-root tests 105 passed; fmt / file-size / Node-version checks pass. Relevance for OpenCode (#10106/#10107): opencode --help spends its 24–28 s in string-width@7's per-grapheme emoji-regex construction, which this PR turns into a shared compiled program.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 4 remain after this review.

Absolute times and identical-binary controls vary substantially. Our own
correctness jobs started only after these timing runs. No full OpenCode binary
was rebuilt or timed for this lane; dependency measurements do not establish
the issue's under-one-second full startup expectation.

Measure full OpenCode startup before accepting the startup objective.

The report states that no full OpenCode binary was rebuilt or timed. The dependency probe cannot establish the issue requirement for OpenCode --help CPU cost or the under-one-second startup expectation. Rebuild and measure the full target workload before marking this objective complete.

JSON stringify and split/join do not show a resolved slowdown beyond these
controls. CSV concatenation retains **+2.78%**, with the interval above zero.
The strict no-regression requirement is **not met**, so the PR stays in draft.

Resolve the confirmed CSV regression before promotion.

string_concat_csv regresses by 2.78%, and its 95% interval is +1.56% to +3.58%. This fails the stated strict no-regression requirement. Keep the PR out of the release path until the regression is removed or the requirement is explicitly changed.

Squashed net change of PR #10193 (head 15e2a76, based on 9fda98d):
share compiled Perex programs across constructions via a bounded LRU keyed
by source identity and canonical flags, guard canonical builtin test/replace
dispatch, and assemble empty replacements from match spans. Fixes #10179.

Merge-train resolution: scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json merged
structurally with #10066's PASS1_MARKED audit note (both notes kept, source
pins recomputed from the merged tree) and #10193's REGEX_DIAG removal.
