A Map or Set header held six adapter pointers, the union key table and
size_t counts: 168 bytes, 176 in its size class. The adapters and union
key kinds now live in an immutable per-type ScrMapOps descriptor that the
compiler emits once per collection type, a traced byte replaces the two
trace-pointer tests, and the counts and capacities are 32-bit. The header
is 88 bytes.
The entries array starts with one slot and grows to four, then doubles,
and maps of up to 8 entries scan their cached hashes instead of keeping a
bucket table. Number-key maps still move to the direct index from four
entries.
One million maps held at once (RSS per map): empty 188 -> 100 bytes,
1 entry 286 -> 125, 4 entries 286 -> 198, 8 entries 450 -> 295.
Every ScrArr carried sixteen words, seven of them (sparse slots, their
length and capacity, noncanonical numeric properties with length and
capacity, and match-result metadata) used only by sparse arrays, arrays
with numeric non-index properties and regex match results. They now live in
a ScrArrExt the array points at, allocated on first use: a dense array
shrinks from 128 to 80 bytes, and a cycle-capable one (with its 16-byte
collector header) from 144 to 96.
Runtime readers go through a shared empty ext; writers allocate it. The
backend mirror loses the seven fields, tagged-template arrays are emitted
with a NULL ext, live stream commits swap the ext pointer (which swapped all
seven fields before), and the cached typed-view refresh swaps sparse slots
and properties through scr_arr_swap_indexed_ext, keeping each array's
metadata as before. The program-object ABI marker moves to
scr_runtime_abi_v11.
A corpus program (4610-array-ext-dyn-refresh.ts, with its order baseline) pins numeric non-index properties of a dynamically typed array through its refreshed typed view, sparse slots written directly and through a live reference, truncation, and regex match metadata read directly, through `any` and after a copy.
* Remove the large-array cliff past 2^20 elements
Arrays longer than 2^20 kept every element beyond the cutoff in a sorted
side store, and each indexed write to an existing entry deleted and
reinserted it, so fill + indexed read/write loops went quadratic
(n=1.2M: 10.4s on macOS arm64, 12.6s on Linux x64).
- Rewrite existing sparse entries in place.
- Let dense storage grow past the cutoff for contiguous extension of a
populated prefix, bulk range writes, and sparse tails that reach 3/16
density, migrating side-store entries so index < cap stays dense.
- Make the side store a deque with front slack so descending first-touch
writes and prefix migration are amortized O(1).
- Bound range-derived slice/splice capacity hints for hole runs.
scr_arr_new now reserves the live count, so a 2^20+3 element Set
converts into dense storage instead of a sparse tail; the white-box
test_lib check that pinned the old policy now asserts dense storage.
* Share immortal boolean union boxes
Maybe-undefined reads of boolean[] elements (`if (composite[i])` in a
sieve) box the element in a boolean|undefined union and free it at once:
one calloc/free pair per read, about a quarter of numeric-kernels samples
at large scales. Unions are immutable and boolean arms own no payload, so
low tags now return headerless immortal instances, the same convention as
the compiler's static unit-arm constants.
