Explicitly guard SuperSlab validation with #if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE to document that this code is debug-only. Changes: - core/tiny_region_id.h: Add #if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE guard around hak_super_lookup() validation code (lines 199-239) - Improves code readability: Makes debug-only intent explicit - Self-documenting: No need to check Makefile to understand behavior - Defensive: Works correctly even if LTO is disabled Performance Impact: - Measured: +1.67% (bench_random_mixed), +1.33% (bench_mid_mt_gap) - Expected: +12-15% (based on initial perf interpretation) - Actual: NO measurable improvement (within noise margin ±3.6%) Root Cause (Investigation): - Compiler (LTO) already eliminated hak_super_lookup() automatically - The function never existed in compiled binary (verified via nm/objdump) - Default Makefile has -DHAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE=1 + -flto - perf's "15.84% CPU" was misattributed (was free(), not hak_super_lookup) Conclusion: This change provides NO performance benefit, but IMPROVES code clarity by making the debug-only nature explicit rather than relying on implicit compiler optimization. Files: - core/tiny_region_id.h - Add explicit debug guard - PHASE6A_DISCREPANCY_INVESTIGATION.md - Full investigation report Lessons Learned: 1. Always verify assembly output before claiming optimizations 2. perf attribution can be misleading - cross-reference with symbols 3. LTO is extremely aggressive at dead code elimination 4. Small improvements (<2× stdev) need statistical validation See PHASE6A_DISCREPANCY_INVESTIGATION.md for complete analysis. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

// tiny_region_id.h - Region-ID Direct Lookup API (Phase 7)
|
|
// Purpose: O(1) class_idx lookup from pointer (eliminates SuperSlab lookup)
|
|
// Design: Smart Headers - 1-byte class_idx embedded before each block
|
|
// Performance: 2-3 cycles (vs 100+ cycles for SuperSlab lookup)
|
|
//
|
|
// Expected Impact: 1.2M → 40-60M ops/s (30-50x improvement)

|
// - Worst case: 5 cycles (debug validation)

// - vs SuperSlab lookup: 100+ cycles (50x faster!)
|

//
|
|
// Memory Overhead:
|
|
// - Per block: 1 byte
|
|
// - 8-byte blocks: 12.5% overhead
|
|
// - 128-byte blocks: 0.8% overhead
|
|
// - Average (typical workload): ~1.5%
|
|
// - Slab[0]: 0% (reuses 960B wasted padding)
|
|
//
|

// Cache Impact:
|

// - Excellent: Header is inline with user data

// - Prefetch: Header loaded with first user data access
