perf: don't unroll loops whose body contains a function literal (method slice B1) - #11679
Conversation
…l as one function A loop body containing a closure, arrow, object-literal method or class expression is no longer unrolled. Every clone received a fresh FuncId, so objects built in a short counted loop carried one code pointer per copy and the method site over them latched megamorphic (method/varying/lit 3,075 instr/iter; 164 with this change, the same as varying/factory). The unroller exists to fold constant indices into kernels, which never create functions per iteration.
test_gap_sloppy_this_bound_once covers OrdinaryCallBindThis for sloppy functions (one binding per activation, primitive wrappers, nullish to globalThis, strict functions untouched). test_gap_method_site_receiver covers object-literal and prototype methods called through a method site on every call route. Both match node on this base.

Rename the fixture to .cts.
The runner loads plain .ts files as strict ESM. Therefore, mutate.call(r) can throw when r is a primitive, and the other functions do not test sloppy this substitution or boxing. The CommonJS retry does not apply to this fixture.
Rename the file so Node and Perry both use CommonJS script semantics.

perf: the loop unroller refuses bodies that contain a function literal (method slice B1).
Unrolling a loop whose body creates a function made every unrolled copy mint its own closure. With a varying receiver, the method site then saw a new callee on each iteration and fell to the slow path.
method/varying/litdrops from 3,075 to 164 instructions per iteration, the same asvarying/factory. The other 34 method cells are unchanged.B2 (bind sloppy
thisonce) and B3 (explicit-thisentry) are not needed: main already does both since #11637 and #11654. This PR adds tests for both.Tests:
test_gap_sloppy_this_bound_once.tsandtest_gap_method_site_receiver.ts, both matching node.Local verification at 6e51944 (merged with main d7df6e7)
