Inline Class#new.
This commit inlines instructions for Class#new. To make this work, we added a new YARV instructions, `opt_new`. `opt_new` checks whether or not the `new` method is the default allocator method. If it is, it allocates the object, and pushes the instance on the stack. If not, the instruction jumps to the "slow path" method call instructions. Old instructions: ``` > ruby --dump=insns -e'Object.new' == disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,10)> 0000 opt_getconstant_path <ic:0 Object> ( 1)[Li] 0002 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:new, argc:0, ARGS_SIMPLE> 0004 leave ``` New instructions: ``` > ./miniruby --dump=insns -e'Object.new' == disasm: #<ISeq:<main>@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,10)> 0000 opt_getconstant_path <ic:0 Object> ( 1)[Li] 0002 putnil 0003 swap 0004 opt_new <calldata!mid:new, argc:0, ARGS_SIMPLE>, 11 0007 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:initialize, argc:0, FCALL|ARGS_SIMPLE> 0009 jump 14 0011 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:new, argc:0, ARGS_SIMPLE> 0013 swap 0014 pop 0015 leave ``` This commit speeds up basic object allocation (`Foo.new`) by 60%, but classes that take keyword parameters see an even bigger benefit because no hash is allocated when instantiating the object (3x to 6x faster). Here is an example that uses `Hash.new(capacity: 0)`: ``` > hyperfine "ruby --disable-gems -e'i = 0; while i < 10_000_000; Hash.new(capacity: 0); i += 1; end'" "./ruby --disable-gems -e'i = 0; while i < 10_000_000; Hash.new(capacity: 0); i += 1; end'" Benchmark 1: ruby --disable-gems -e'i = 0; while i < 10_000_000; Hash.new(capacity: 0); i += 1; end' Time (mean ± σ): 1.082 s ± 0.004 s [User: 1.074 s, System: 0.008 s] Range (min … max): 1.076 s … 1.088 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: ./ruby --disable-gems -e'i = 0; while i < 10_000_000; Hash.new(capacity: 0); i += 1; end' Time (mean ± σ): 627.9 ms ± 3.5 ms [User: 622.7 ms, System: 4.8 ms] Range (min … max): 622.7 ms … 633.2 ms 10 runs Summary ./ruby --disable-gems -e'i = 0; while i < 10_000_000; Hash.new(capacity: 0); i += 1; end' ran 1.72 ± 0.01 times faster than ruby --disable-gems -e'i = 0; while i < 10_000_000; Hash.new(capacity: 0); i += 1; end' ``` This commit changes the backtrace for `initialize`: ``` aaron@tc ~/g/ruby (inline-new)> cat test.rb class Foo def initialize puts caller end end def hello Foo.new end hello aaron@tc ~/g/ruby (inline-new)> ruby -v test.rb ruby 3.4.2 (2025-02-15 revision d2930f8e7a) +PRISM [arm64-darwin24] test.rb:8:in 'Class#new' test.rb:8:in 'Object#hello' test.rb:11:in '<main>' aaron@tc ~/g/ruby (inline-new)> ./miniruby -v test.rb ruby 3.5.0dev (2025-03-28T23:59:40Z inline-new c4157884e4) +PRISM [arm64-darwin24] test.rb:8:in 'Object#hello' test.rb:11:in '<main>' ``` It also increases memory usage for calls to `new` by 122 bytes: ``` aaron@tc ~/g/ruby (inline-new)> cat test.rb require "objspace" class Foo def initialize puts caller end end def hello Foo.new end puts ObjectSpace.memsize_of(RubyVM::InstructionSequence.of(method(:hello))) aaron@tc ~/g/ruby (inline-new)> make runruby RUBY_ON_BUG='gdb -x ./.gdbinit -p' ./miniruby -I./lib -I. -I.ext/common ./tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- --disable-gems ./test.rb 656 aaron@tc ~/g/ruby (inline-new)> ruby -v test.rb ruby 3.4.2 (2025-02-15 revision d2930f8e7a) +PRISM [arm64-darwin24] 544 ``` Thanks to @ko1 for coming up with this idea!
