- Around line 540-542: Update both BoundSpan::try_fold call sites to pass the
remaining quantum allowance rather than the full quantum: derive it from
measured.units and measured_polled_at for the measured pass, and encoded.units
and encoded_polled_at for the encoded pass. Preserve the existing host::poll
behavior and ensure each pass is independently bounded to api::QUANTUM.

🌐 Web query:
perex 0.1.9 BoundSpan try_fold source
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The perex crate (version 0.1.9) is an ECMAScript regular expression engine designed for explicit host memory ownership [1][2]. Regarding the components mentioned in your query: 1. BoundSpan: The span::BoundSpan struct is a component within the perex crate used to traverse capture spans in bounded steps across owner relocation [3][4]. It allows a host to allocate output strings without needing a subject conversion buffer by borrowing units from the input [3][4]. 2. try_fold: The perex crate documentation does not explicitly reference a try_fold method associated with BoundSpan. The term try_fold is a standard, widely used iterator trait method in the Rust standard library (core::iter::Iterator) and the rayon crate for parallel iteration, used for applying a fallible folding operation [5][6][7]. It is highly likely that your query relates to the use of standard Rust iterator methods (like try_fold) being applied to a collection or stream of BoundSpan objects, rather than BoundSpan having its own try_fold method. The perex engine itself focuses on manual, caller-controlled execution and memory management, relying on explicit iteration rather than standard high-level functional abstractions within its core types [1][2].

Pass the remaining quantum to both BoundSpan::try_fold calls. BoundSpan::try_fold can consume its full supplied allowance. Replacement pieces accept arbitrary spans, so an ASCII replacement can produce a 4,095-unit template span followed by a 4,096-unit matched span. The two full-quantum calls can therefore read 8,191 units before host::poll() runs.
Pass the remaining allowance at both runtime sites:
measured:api::QUANTUM.saturating_sub(measured.units.saturating_sub(measured_polled_at))encoded:api::QUANTUM.saturating_sub(encoded.units.saturating_sub(encoded_polled_at))
Keep the changelog's 4,096-unit claim only when both passes enforce this bound.

Do not merge — this regresses peak RSS on an allocating workloadConverting to draft. The "peak RSS is unchanged" claim in the description is wrong, and it is wrong for a reason I should have caught before opening: the two probes I measured it on both have a small live set. Re-measured on
median +13.2%, min +8.0%, and the paired rounds are 8 of 9 against. That is a real regression, not sampling noise. The mechanism is the obvious one in hindsight: polling 8× less often in Why the original evidence missed itThe probes I used — This is the same shape as #10377, which I withdrew mid-train for exactly this reason: validated on a reproducer with a tiny live set by construction, then +8% and +16% on an allocating workload at n ≥ 700k. I wrote the rule down after that one and then did not apply it to my own PR until the GC lane asked me to run this pairing. What happens nextThe bound this PR keeps (at most QUANTUM units of reading between polls) is still the right contract; QUANTUM = 4096 is simply too coarse for it when the collector wants the opportunities. Options I will measure rather than guess between:
Each gets peak RSS on Thanks to @hello-world-perf's lane for pushing the pairing onto my own change rather than only onto theirs; without it this lands and the regression ships. |
Building a replacement's output walks its pieces twice, measuring and then encoding, and each pass polled the GC safepoint once per piece. `try_fold` stops at QUANTUM units *or* at the end of a piece, and a piece is usually two or three units -- an original span, a template span, a capture -- so a subject with 200,000 matches ran the safepoint hundreds of thousands of times per pass for a handful of units of reading each. That check costs about 436 instructions: it evaluates the whole budgeted trigger ladder, which has no cheap "nothing is due" precheck. Both passes now poll once per POLL_UNITS units read. Unlike the collection loop in `perex_replace_direct`, these passes are downstream of the replacement's traced pieces and its replacer's strings, so they do produce garbage and polling far less often costs peak RSS. POLL_UNITS is therefore a measured trade, not a bound inherited from elsewhere: at `api::QUANTUM` (4096) the instruction win is the same but peak RSS is +13.2% median on an allocating replace at n=1,000,000, over the accepted +10% budget. At 512 the win survives and the cost does not. Instructions, both arms from one commit, release, plain main: replace, string template 27,837,140,955 -> 20,090,148,511 -27.8% replace1m (both forms) 275,168,155,979 -> 249,292,630,136 -9.4% replace, callback, ASCII 51,289,448,826 -> 47,903,744,797 -6.6% replace, callback, Unicode 61,275,226,072 -> 58,023,887,665 -5.3% Peak RSS on replace1m, nine interleaved rounds: median +0.3%, mean +0.1%, max -0.4%, against a +10% budget. Answers are identical to Node 26.5.1 on every probe, including the correctness differential from PerryTS#10605. Why 512 rather than 4096: a piece is two or three units, so 512 still removes about 99 percent of the polls while giving the collector eight times the openings. Both figures above are measured; the knee between them is not located.

Pieces::finishpasses polled the GC safepoint once per output piece. They now poll once per 512 units read. Part of #10165.Rewritten since the first version of this PR. That one used
api::QUANTUM(4096), took −27.9% instructions and +13.2% median peak RSS — over the accepted +10% budget — and I drafted it. The constant was inherited from the fold quantum, not chosen for this purpose. Tuned, the instruction win survives and the memory cost does not.replace1m, instructionsWhat it does
try_foldstops at QUANTUM units or at the end of a piece, and a piece is usually two or three units — an original span, a template span, a capture — so a subject with 200,000 matches ran the safepoint hundreds of thousands of times per pass for a handful of units of reading each. That check costs ~436 instructions: it evaluates the whole budgeted trigger ladder, which has no cheap "nothing is due" precheck.Numbers

Answers identical to Node 26.5.1 on every probe, including #10605's correctness differential (unset captures, proxy replacers, a replacer allocating hard enough to collect mid-loop, empty matches, non-global, non-string returns).Why 512
A piece is two or three units, so 512 still removes ~99% of the polls while giving the collector eight times the openings. Both 4096 and 512 are measured; the knee between them is not located, and nothing here depends on 512 being optimal — only on it being inside the budget while keeping the win.
Unlike #10666's collection-loop stride, this site is not free by construction: these passes are downstream of the replacement's traced pieces and its replacer's strings, so they do produce garbage. The three-site contrast, same change, nine rounds on
replace1m:Pieces::finishat 4096Pieces::finishat 512 — this PRreplace1mCorrecting something I said elsewhere
I told the GC lane that a cheap "nothing is due" precheck in
gc/policy.rswas "the only remaining move" on this cost, on the strength of the 4096 result. That was wrong, and it was wrong because I treated an untuned constant's cost as structural. Most of the poll cost on this path is recoverable by frequency, as above.Their code reading then established the other half:
gc_runtime_safepoint_pollhas exactly three call sites in the workspace — the event-loop pump tail, the microtask-drain boundary, andregex/perex_runtime.rs:58. Only the regex one is fine-grained. So there was never a general poll-frequency problem, and these two PRs close it at the site that had it. (An epoch-keyed memo over the ladder was refuted separately: its inputs are the allocation counters, so the key changes as often as the value.)Validation (local; runners are unreliable)
perry-runtimelib suite 4042 passed, 0 failed;--lockedbuild, fmt, regex-off-D warnings, product-D warnings, GC root holders, file size and the release build all OK.Lint gates: 2 of 83 fail, both pre-existing on pristine main, neither reachable from this diff — "warnings: rustc warnings (all targets)" (main does not compile under
--all-targets; filed as #10655 with a two-line fix) and "Public benchmark evidence freshness".Stacks cleanly with #10666: different files, no shared lines.
Thanks to @hello-world-perf's lane for the RSS pairing that drafted the first version, and for the budget confirmation that made the constant worth tuning rather than accepting.
