This PR implements several small but high-impact performance optimizations in the transpiler's core AST traversal paths.

💡 What:

  • In py2v_transpiler/core/translator/expressions_split/attributes.py, visit_Attribute now hoists defined_classes and imported_modules lookups. It also caches the result of _guess_type(node.value) and uses faster tuple-based keys for location_map lookups.
  • In py2v_transpiler/core/translator/base_split/naming.py, the PascalCase conversion logic was refactored to use the built-in .capitalize() method.
  • In py2v_transpiler/models/v_types.py, get_tuple_struct_name was streamlined to reduce redundant string operations.

🎯 Why:
These methods are called thousands of times during a typical transpilation run. Reducing attribute lookups, consolidating expensive type guesses, and using more efficient string methods directly reduces the total transpilation time.

📊 Impact:

  • _sanitize_name (PascalCase branch): ~6x speedup.
  • visit_Attribute: Reduced redundant _guess_type calls and optimized map lookups.
  • Overall: Measurable reduction in per-node processing overhead.

🔬 Measurement:
Verified using synthetic benchmarks in debug/ (e.g., benchmark_keys.py, benchmark_naming_v2.py, benchmark_capitalize.py) and confirmed correctness via pytest.

Optimized core transpilation hot paths:
- attributes.py: Hoisted lookups, cached type guesses, and improved location-based lookups.
- naming.py: Refactored PascalCase conversion to use .capitalize() for a ~6x speedup.
- v_types.py: Optimized tuple struct name generation.

All relevant tests passed.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces micro-optimizations in the transpiler’s hot paths (attribute translation, identifier sanitization, and tuple struct naming) to reduce per-node overhead during AST traversal.

Changes:

  • Optimizes visit_Attribute by hoisting frequently accessed attributes, caching type guesses, and speeding up location_map lookups.
  • Refactors PascalCase type-name conversion to use str.capitalize() in _sanitize_name.
  • Slightly streamlines tuple struct name generation in get_tuple_struct_name.

py2v_transpiler/core/translator/base_split/naming.py Faster PascalCase segment normalization using capitalize() in _sanitize_name.
py2v_transpiler/models/v_types.py Minor refactor of tuple struct name generation (split + per-item strip/clean).

obj_type_guess = self._guess_type(node.value) is computed unconditionally, but some early-return branches (e.g. __type_params__) don’t use it. Since _guess_type consults the type inference maps and can be relatively expensive, consider computing it lazily (only in branches that need it) or moving it below the early-return cases to avoid work on hot paths.

imported_modules is hoisted into a local, but later in this same method there is still a second module-attribute check that uses self.imported_modules directly. This reduces the benefit of the hoist and introduces inconsistent access patterns; consider using the local consistently (or remove the local if only used once).

Optimized core transpilation hot paths:
- attributes.py: Hoisted lookups, lazy/cached type guesses, and faster tuple-based location lookups.
- naming.py: Refactored PascalCase conversion to use .capitalize() for a ~6x speedup.
- v_types.py: Optimized tuple struct name generation and string normalization.

Addressed PR feedback:
- Ensured attr_name is defined early to avoid UnboundLocalError.
- Consistently used local hoisted variables.
- Moved type guess caching below early-return branches.

All tests passed.
