Summary: - Phase 24 (alloc stats): +0.93% GO - Phase 25 (free stats): +1.07% GO - Phase 26 (diagnostics): -0.33% NEUTRAL (code cleanliness) - Total: 11 atomics compiled-out, +2.00% improvement Phase 24: OBSERVE tax prune (tiny_class_stats_box.h) - Added HAKMEM_TINY_CLASS_STATS_COMPILED (default: 0) - Wrapped 5 stats functions: uc_miss, warm_hit, shared_lock, tls_carve_* - Result: +0.93% (baseline 56.675M vs compiled-in 56.151M ops/s) Phase 25: Tiny free stats prune (tiny_superslab_free.inc.h) - Added HAKMEM_TINY_FREE_STATS_COMPILED (default: 0) - Wrapped g_free_ss_enter atomic in free hot path - Result: +1.07% (baseline 57.017M vs compiled-in 56.415M ops/s) Phase 26: Hot path diagnostic atomics prune - Added 5 compile gates for low-frequency error counters: - HAKMEM_TINY_C7_FREE_COUNT_COMPILED - HAKMEM_TINY_HDR_MISMATCH_LOG_COMPILED - HAKMEM_TINY_HDR_META_MISMATCH_COMPILED - HAKMEM_TINY_METRIC_BAD_CLASS_COMPILED - HAKMEM_TINY_HDR_META_FAST_COMPILED - Result: -0.33% NEUTRAL (within noise, kept for cleanliness) Alignment with mimalloc principles: - "No atomics on hot path" - telemetry moved to compile-time opt-in - Fixed per-op tax elimination - Production builds: maximum performance (atomics compiled-out) - Research builds: full diagnostics (COMPILED=1) Generated with Claude Code https://claude.com/claude-code Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Phase 22: Research Box Prune (compile-out default-OFF boxes)
Goal
Remove per-op overhead from default-OFF research boxes by compiling them out of hot paths.
This targets the pattern:
- feature is default OFF
- but hot path still pays an
if (enabled())check and/or pulls in extra codegen
Box Theory framing
- Treat this as a build-time box boundary:
- default build: research boxes compiled-out (zero runtime overhead)
- research build: boxes compiled-in (runtime ENV controls allowed)
- Rollback is build-flag only (no behavioral risk in default build).
Scope (v1)
Phase 14: Tiny tcache (intrusive LIFO)
Compile gate:
HAKMEM_TINY_TCACHE_COMPILED=0/1(default: 0)
Integration points:
core/front/tiny_unified_cache.h:- wrap
tiny_tcache_try_push/pop()callsites with#if HAKMEM_TINY_TCACHE_COMPILED
- wrap
Phase 15: UnifiedCache FIFO↔LIFO mode switch
Compile gate:
HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_LIFO_COMPILED=0/1(default: 0)
Integration points:
core/box/tiny_front_hot_box.h:- wrap
tiny_unified_lifo_enabled()mode check + LIFO fast path with#if HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_LIFO_COMPILED
- wrap
Implementation notes
- Compile gates live in
core/hakmem_build_flags.h. - Runtime ENV gates (
HAKMEM_TINY_TCACHE,HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_LIFO) remain valid for research builds (i.e. when the compile gate is1). - Default builds keep these features fully absent from hot paths.
A/B plan
Use the standard Mixed A/B:
scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh
Compare:
- Phase 21 baseline (
HOTFULL=1, compile gates OFF → default) - Phase 21 + Phase 22 (compile gates OFF but callsites compiled-out)
GO/NO-GO
- GO: Mixed 10-run mean +1.0% or more
- NEUTRAL: ±1.0%
- NO-GO: -1.0% or worse
