Re-fetching it via `self.module.functions[...].chunk.instructions[...].operands` adds unnecessary bounds checks and pointer chasing in the hottest part of the VM. -**Action:** Always prefer using existing local references over redundant deep lookups, especially in tight loops like an interpreter fetch-decode-execute loop. -## 2026-08-19 - Reused local frame and func references in VM opcodes\n**Learning:** The VM executor repeatedly looked up the current frame via `self.frames.last()` and current function via `self.module.functions[...]` in several opcodes (LoadConst, FieldLoad, StoreLocal, etc.). This adds unnecessary bounds checking and pointer dereferencing on the hottest path since `frame` and `func` are already computed at the start of the while loop iteration.\n**Action:** Always reuse existing local references in tight loop opcodes rather than repeatedly querying collections or stacks when the target element is already known and borrowed. -## 2024-05-18 - Rust lifetime limits reuse of mutably borrowed locals in hot VM loop -**Learning:** In `runtime/vm/src/executor.rs`, the main interpreter loop `execute_loop` defines variables `frame` and `func` for the current execution frame and function. While avoiding redundant deep indexing (e.g. `self.frames.last_mut().ok_or(VMError::StackUnderflow)?;`) inside match arms for `Opcode::Jump`, `Opcode::JumpIfTrue`, `Opcode::JumpIfFalse`, `Opcode::Try`, and `Opcode::EndTry` by reusing the existing local `frame` variable reduces bounds checks and overhead, this local `frame` reference cannot be reused inside other match arms like `Opcode::Return` without triggering severe Rust borrow checker issues (e.g., cannot call `self.frames.len()` while `self.frames` is mutably borrowed via `frame`). The previous implementation relied on Non-Lexical Lifetimes (NLL) implicitly ending the borrow of `frame` before reaching opcodes that needed to borrow `self.frames` again. Removing the redundant inner lookups caused the compiler to extend the mutable borrow across the entire loop iteration if not careful, but safely removing them just from control flow opcodes where no further frame manipulation is needed works correctly. -**Action:** Be extremely cautious when extending the lifetime of mutable borrows (especially on central state like a call stack) across large `match` blocks in Rust interpreters, as even correct performance optimizations can easily introduce fatal compilation errors if the borrow inadvertently overlaps with other mutable or immutable accesses. -## 2024-05-18 - Removed redundant clone of VM stack during trace logs -**Learning:** In `runtime/vm/src/executor.rs`, the debugging instruction trace `self.debugger.trace_instruction` was cloning the entire VM stack using `&self.stack.get_dump()` for every single instruction executed. This caused significant `O(N)` overhead inside the main fetch-decode-execute loop just to format debug output. A new `data_slice()` method was added to `ValueStack` to provide zero-copy slice access (`&[RuntimeValue]`) instead, completely eliminating the allocation overhead. -**Action:** Always scrutinize deep clones in logging, tracing, or hot path loops. Use slice references (`&[T]`) instead of `Vec::clone` when the caller only needs read-only access to a collection. +## 2024-05-24 - Optimized String Boundary Lookup with Byte Offsets +**Learning:** When searching for boundary characters using byte offsets in Rust strings (e.g., indices returned by `str::find`), avoid using `.chars().nth()` as it expects character indices and runs in O(N) time, which is slow for long lines and causes bugs with multi-byte Unicode characters. +**Action:** Slice the string using the byte index and use `.chars().next_back()` or `.chars().next()` (e.g., `line[..pos].chars().next_back()`) for safe, O(1) lookups in the future. diff --git a/tools/lsp/src/lib.rs b/tools/lsp/src/lib.rs index 7ef4fad8..15caf177 100644 --- a/tools/lsp/src/lib.rs +++ b/tools/lsp/src/lib.rs @@ -752,11 +752,11 @@ impl LanguageServer for Backend { while let Some(pos_in_line) = line[start_pos..].find(&word) { let actual_pos = start_pos + pos_in_line; let char_before = if actual_pos > 0 { - line.chars().nth(actual_pos - 1) + line[..actual_pos].chars().next_back() } else { None }; - let char_after = line.chars().nth(actual_pos + word_len); + let char_after = line[actual_pos + word_len..].chars().next(); let is_boundary_before = char_before.map_or(true, |c| !c.is_alphanumeric() && c != '_'); @@ -803,11 +803,11 @@ impl LanguageServer for Backend { while let Some(pos_in_line) = line[start_pos..].find(&word) { let actual_pos = start_pos + pos_in_line; let char_before = if actual_pos > 0 { - line.chars().nth(actual_pos - 1) + line[..actual_pos].chars().next_back() } else { None }; - let char_after = line.chars().nth(actual_pos + word_len); + let char_after = line[actual_pos + word_len..].chars().next(); let is_boundary_before = char_before.map_or(true, |c| !c.is_alphanumeric() && c != '_');
