Moe Charm (CI) 4a070d8a14 Phase 5 E4-1: Free Wrapper ENV Snapshot (+3.51% GO, ADOPTED)
Target: Consolidate free wrapper TLS reads (2→1)
- free() is 25.26% self% (top hot spot)
- Strategy: Apply E1 success pattern (ENV snapshot) to free path

Implementation:
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_FREE_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=0/1 (default 0)
- core/box/free_wrapper_env_snapshot_box.{h,c}: New box
  - Consolidates 2 TLS reads → 1 TLS read (50% reduction)
  - Reduces 4 branches → 3 branches (25% reduction)
  - Lazy init with probe window (bench_profile putenv sync)
- core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h: Integration in free() wrapper
- Makefile: Add free_wrapper_env_snapshot_box.o to all targets

A/B Test Results (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters):
- Baseline (SNAPSHOT=0): 45.35M ops/s (mean), 45.31M ops/s (median)
- Optimized (SNAPSHOT=1): 46.94M ops/s (mean), 47.15M ops/s (median)
- Improvement: +3.51% mean, +4.07% median

Decision: GO (+3.51% >= +1.0% threshold)
- Exceeded conservative estimate (+1.5% → +3.51%)
- Similar efficiency to E1 (+3.92%)
- Health check: PASS (all profiles)
- Action: PROMOTED to MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset

Phase 5 Cumulative:
- E1 (ENV Snapshot): +3.92%
- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51%
- Total Phase 4-5: ~+7.5%

E3-4 Correction:
- Phase 4 E3-4 (ENV Constructor Init): NO-GO / FROZEN
- Initial A/B showed +4.75%, but investigation revealed:
  - Branch prediction hint mismatch (UNLIKELY with always-true)
  - Retest confirmed -1.78% regression
  - Root cause: __builtin_expect(..., 0) with ctor_mode==1
- Decision: Freeze as research box (default OFF)
- Learning: Branch hints need careful tuning, TLS consolidation safer

Deliverables:
- docs/analysis/PHASE5_E4_FREE_GATE_OPTIMIZATION_1_DESIGN.md
- docs/analysis/PHASE5_E4_1_FREE_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md
- docs/analysis/PHASE5_E4_2_MALLOC_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md (next)
- docs/analysis/PHASE5_POST_E1_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md
- docs/analysis/ENV_PROFILE_PRESETS.md (E4-1 added, E3-4 corrected)
- CURRENT_TASK.md (E4-1 complete, E3-4 frozen)
- core/bench_profile.h (E4-1 promoted to default)

Phase 4 Status - Executive Summary

Date: 2025-12-14 Status: E1 GOpreset昇格, E2 🔬 FROZEN, E3-4 NO-GO Baseline: Mixed 20M/ws=400E1=1 を前提)


Quick Status

E2 Decision: FREEZE (NEUTRAL)

Result: -0.21% mean, -0.62% median (NEUTRAL)

Why Freeze?

  • Alloc route optimization saturated by Phase 3 C3 (static routing)
  • Free DUALHOT worked (+13%) because it skipped expensive ops
  • Alloc DUALHOT doesn't work (-0.21%) because route already cached
  • Lesson: Per-class specialization only helps when bypassing uncached overhead

Action: Keep as research box (default OFF), no further investigation


E1/E3-4 Results (Mixed A/B)

E1: ENV Snapshot Consolidation GO (opt-in)

Result: +3.92% avg, +4.01% median
ENV: HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE で default 化、opt-out 可)

E3-4: ENV Constructor Init NO-GO (FROZEN)

Resultre-validation: -1.44% mean, -1.03% medianE1=1 前提)
ENV: HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1 HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT_CTOR=1default OFF / freeze


Phase 4 Cumulative Status

Active:

  • E1 (ENV Snapshot): +3.92% GOopt-in

Frozen:

  • D3 (Alloc Gate Shape): +0.56%
  • E2 (Alloc Per-Class FastPath): -0.21%
  • E3-4 (ENV CTOR): NO-GO

Next Actions

  1. E3-4 を freeze 維持default OFF
  2. E1 を本線化した状態で perf を取り直し、“self% ≥ 5%” の芯を選ぶ
  3. 次の箱は “TLS/分岐” ではなく “実データ構造/ホットループ” を優先alloc gate / unified_cache / pool など)

Key Lessons

  1. Route optimization saturated: C3 already cached routes, E2 no benefit
  2. Shape optimization plateaued: D3 +0.56% neutral, branch prediction saturated
  3. ENV consolidation successful: E1 +3.92%, constructor init is next step
  4. Different optimization vectors needed: Move beyond route/shape to init/dispatch overhead
