perf(object): borrow ASCII property keys unchecked; ask the async-resource registry before decoding the key - #9765
Conversation
…ource registry before decoding the key The generic property-read ladder decoded the key StringHeader with from_utf8 at several layers per miss (`core::str::from_utf8` is a hot leaf on the claude-code keystroke profile), the typed-feedback class-field guards allocated a `String` per guarded access, and the async-resource property dispatch copied the key and locked the `AsyncResource` registry before checking whether any handle existed at all. * `string::header_str_checked`: `utf16_len == byte_len` proves the payload is pure ASCII (every non-ASCII scalar is >= 2 bytes and at most 2 UTF-16 units, and a lone surrogate is 3 bytes for 1 unit), so it is borrowed unchecked; anything else takes the validating scan it always took. * `has_own_helpers`, `closure_dynamic_prop_by_key`, the accessor probes, `typedarray_props` and `typed_feedback::guards::key_as_str` use it (the guard now borrows: every consumer is a Rust-side table read). * `async_hooks::is_async_resource_handle` checks the atomic handle count before taking the mutex; the IC-miss handler and `async_resource_property` ask it before decoding or copying the key. Test: header_str_checked_matches_from_utf8_on_every_payload_class. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YPfnmWZmSpSWpmnoXvH8z2
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime adds a shared checked string-header decoder with an ASCII fast path. Property lookup paths borrow decoded keys instead of allocating. Async-resource dispatch now avoids unnecessary registry locks and rejects non-handle receivers earlier. ChangesProperty key handling optimization

Copy the key before closure_get_dynamic_prop.
header_str_checked returns a borrow into GC-managed storage. closure_get_dynamic_prop can run an accessor and allocate, as documented in crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/accessors.rs Lines [694-707]. If the key moves, reified_function_method_name uses stale bytes at Line [1399]. This can return the wrong method or crash.
Copy the validated bytes into HeapKeyBytes before the call, or root the key and re-read it after the call.
Suggested fix

Require valid UTF-8 before the unchecked conversion.
js_string_from_wtf8_bytes accepts raw bytes and compute_utf16_len_wtf8 counts a truncated lead byte as one UTF-16 code unit. A payload such as [0xC3] therefore has utf16_len == byte_len and reaches str::from_utf8_unchecked, violating Rust’s str invariant. Validate the bytes before this branch and add a truncated-lead regression test.

What
Three places on the generic property path did work proportional to the key
string rather than to the lookup:
has_own_helpers,closure_dynamic_prop_by_key, the accessor probes,typedarray_propsandthe IC-miss handler each ran
std::str::from_utf8over the key payload.core::str::converts::from_utf8is a hot leaf on the claude-code keystrokeprofile.
Stringper guardedaccess (
key_as_strreturned an owned copy) although every consumer —class_getter_in_chain,descriptor_blocks_class_field_get/set— only readsa Rust-side table.
AsyncResourceregistry before asking whether any handle existed at all.In a program with no async-resource handles that mutex was taken on every
IC miss.
The change
string::header_str_checked(key):utf16_len == byte_lenproves the payloadis pure ASCII — every non-ASCII scalar is ≥ 2 bytes and at most 2 UTF-16
units, and a lone surrogate is 3 bytes for 1 unit, so equality is only
possible when every byte is < 0x80 — and the payload is then borrowed
unchecked. Anything else takes exactly the validating scan it always took.
Property keys in real code are overwhelmingly ASCII, so the scan disappears
from the hot path without changing what any non-ASCII key does.
key_as_strnow returnsOption<&str>andthe chain probes take
&str, removing the per-accessString.async_hooks::is_async_resource_handlechecks the atomic handle count beforetaking the mutex, and the IC-miss handler /
async_resource_propertyask itbefore decoding or copying the key.
This removes work rather than making it cheaper: an allocation that no longer
happens, a scan that no longer runs, and a lock that is not taken.
Numbers
The isolated effect is small — this is a long-tail fix, and on the 400-char
streaming turn it is below the run-to-run spread of the rig. What moves is the
symbol it targets. Main-thread leaf samples (macOS
sample, 400-char reply,main 12efed1222vs the three keystroke branches together):core::str::converts::from_utf8, during the turncore::str::converts::from_utf8, 20 s after the turnWhole-branch rig table (this PR + the two sibling keystroke PRs) vs
mainandnode 2.1.112 on the same bundle, same session, 400-char reply
(
stream_scale.py … --mem --idle 12):12efed1222Neither metric regresses; the memory movement in that table belongs to the
regex PR, not to this one.
Correctness
header_str_checked_matches_from_utf8_on_every_payload_classasserts theborrowed answer equals
from_utf8for every payload class the runtime canproduce (ASCII, multi-byte scalars, astral pairs, lone surrogates, invalid
bytes), i.e. that the
utf16_len == byte_lenimplication holds in bothdirections for the strings that reach it.
