perf(parser): use range checks for is_any_keyword() and is_number() (#14410)
## Summary Replace multi-function calls and multiple enum variant checks with simple range checks, reducing assembly instructions in hot paths. ## Changes ### `is_any_keyword()` **Before**: Called 4 separate functions checking 70+ enum variants: - `is_reserved_keyword()` - 38 variants - `is_contextual_keyword()` - 39 variants - `is_strict_mode_contextual_keyword()` - 8 variants - `is_future_reserved_keyword()` - 7 variants **After**: Single range check `Await..=Yield` since all keywords are contiguous in the enum ### `is_number()` **Before**: Matched 11 separate enum variants **After**: Single range check `Decimal..=HexBigInt` since numeric literals are contiguous ## Assembly Analysis ### Before (with scattered checks) ```asm mov x8, #992 ; Load bitmask constant movk x8, #992, lsl #16 ; More bitmask setup movk x8, #240, lsl #32 ; Even more bitmask setup lsr x8, x8, x0 ; Shift by kind value and w0, w8, #0x1 ; Extract result bit ``` **5 instructions** with complex constant loading ### After (with range check) ```asm and w8, w0, #0xff ; Extract byte sub w8, w8, #5 ; Subtract range start cmp w8, #39 ; Compare to range size cset w0, lo ; Set result ``` **4 instructions** with simple arithmetic ## Performance Impact - **20% fewer instructions** (5 → 4) - **Simpler logic** = better CPU pipeline utilization - **No complex constants** = smaller code size - **Better branch prediction** with single comparison This is particularly important because: - `is_any_keyword()` is called from `advance()` on **every single token** - This is one of the hottest code paths in the entire parser ## Testing Added unit tests to verify that: - All keywords remain contiguous in the enum (`Await..=Yield`) - All numeric literals remain contiguous (`Decimal..=HexBigInt`) These tests will catch any future enum reordering that would break the optimization. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
