Recognize the imported isBuiltin binding. Native named imports register in native_modules_index, while lookup_func checks only functions_index. Therefore require_is_perry_cjs_wrapper returns false. The lru-cache destructuring exception is then skipped by register_destructured_stream_ctors.

node:module is canonicalized to module, and this import registers the isBuiltin method under that native-module entry.

Do not merge — this breaks real OpenCode. Marking as draft while I bisect which of the four changes is at fault. Compiling OpenCode 1.18.30 against this branch and running where Worth recording how it got this far, because the validation looked strong and was not: 121 I will either land a fix with a regression test derived from the real failure, or close this and keep the parts that are sound. The measured win (588,296 -> 385,034 instructions per module) stands on the fixture, but it is not worth anything until the binary runs. |
Rebased onto v0.5.1580, which carries the PerryTS#10356 fix (an un-imported export must not shadow a global intrinsic). That fix looks like a prerequisite: the preamble's error helper constructs new Error(...), OpenCode's graph exports Error from packages/core twice, so any path reaching that helper met a shadowed intrinsic and threw 'undefined is not a constructor'.
isBuiltin alone is stricter than the switch it replaced: sea, sqlite, test and
test/reporters are builtins only in their node: form. OpenCode's graph contains
a bare require of one - wrangler does DatabaseSync = __require("sqlite").
DatabaseSync then new DatabaseSync(...), which became new undefined() and threw
'undefined is not a constructor' at startup.
Two native calls reproduce the switch's semantics exactly while still removing
the ~120 interned string constants it emitted into every module. Whether Perry
should accept the bare spellings is a genuine question, but it is a semantic
one and does not belong in a performance change.

Bisected in three rounds — the PR as a whole, then its two halves, then the halves of the failing half. The culprit was the The fix restores the switch's semantics exactly — Whether Perry should accept the bare spellings is a real question, but it is a SEMANTIC one and does not belong in a performance PR. I will file it separately. This branch is now behaviour-preserving by construction. Measured on real OpenCode,
About -2.2%, and the run-to-run variance drops by more than 3x. Caveat: the measured binary for this branch is a On the gap between this and the fixture number (-34.5% per module): that is expected and was predicted. Only 356 of OpenCode's CommonJS modules are eager — 905 more are deferred and pay nothing until required — and string interning is process-wide, so a trivial-module harness over-predicts real impact by roughly an order of magnitude.

The shape of the problem
The CommonJS wrapper preamble is emitted into every wrapped module, so its fixed cost is paid once per module in the dependency graph. A module whose entire source is
module.exports = { v: 1 };— 28 bytes — expands to 896 lines / 50,006 bytes of wrapper (PERRY_DEBUG_CJS_WRAP=1dumps it).Measured per trivial module on a 400-module fixture, against
main@ v0.5.1579:bun costs about the same for both module formats; perry's ESM path is far cheaper than bun's while its CJS path was 5.2× more expensive. That asymmetry is what this PR attacks. It does not close the gap to bun — the remainder is per-store and per-closure cost, not template shape.
The four changes
One
createRequireper program, not per module. Measured in isolation,createRequire()costs ~117,000 instructions per call. It was called once per module, plus again insiderequirefor every builtin specifier. It is used only for.cache,.extensionsand loading builtins — all process-global in Node — so nothing was bound to the calling module's path.Dead stores removed.
require.cache = {}andrequire.extensions = { … }were overwritten on the following two lines: an object and three closures allocated and discarded per module.isBuiltinfromnode:moduleinstead of a 58-name switch in every module. The switch carried both spellings of all 58 builtins, so each module interned ~120 string constants. This also fixes a divergence: the switch accepted the bare spellings ofsea,sqlite,testandtest/reporters, which are builtins only in theirnode:form — sorequire("test")could resolve to the builtin instead of a local module. I verified perry'sisBuiltinagrees with Node 26 on all 58 names in both spellings.The module record is one object literal. Eleven sequential assignments walked eleven shape transitions and eleven cold property stores; as a literal the record is allocated with its final shape. Partial folding does not work — with any field left as a trailing assignment the record keeps transitioning and the win disappears (measured at −0.08% for the eight-field form), so the whole surface folds or none of it does.
cjs_scaffolding'srecord_bindingis widened to match the eleven-field template. Per that module's own documentation, R2 carries no soundness weight — R4 alone discharges the obligation, and the allocation half is report-only, gated behindopt_report::enabled()— so widening it can only change whether Perry's own scaffolding is reported as a denied user candidate, never what codegen does.Validation
cjs_wraptests, includingpreamble_canary_tests, which exists to catch exactly a template/recogniser disagreement and names the conjunct that brokecjs_scaffoldingcollector tests, includingthe_wrap_preamble_record_is_recognisedanduser_allocations_are_never_suppressedOne note for reviewers on scale: these per-module figures come from a fixture of trivial modules and do not transplant linearly to a real graph. OpenCode has 356 eager CJS modules (905 more are deferred and pay nothing until required), and its measured
--versionimprovement is far smaller than 356 × the per-module delta would predict — string interning is process-wide and the eager set does not all execute.Summary by CodeRabbit
