The thresholds were overly conservative for contracts that the JIT can handle efficiently. + +## Impact + +- Module: `docs/modules/compiler/` (JIT fallback thresholds only) +- 1 file changed, +8/-6 lines +- Benchmark geomean: +0.28%, sum ratio: +0.69% +- Former fallback-heavy cases (memory_grow_mstore) improve; signextend/snailtracer regress slightly +- EVM semantic behavior is unchanged; execution strategy (JIT vs interpreter path selection) may differ for contracts near the old thresholds. + +## Checklist + +- [x] Implementation complete +- [x] Tests added/updated (static analyzer sweep: fallback_contracts=0) +- [x] Module specs in `docs/modules/` updated (if affected) +- [x] Build and tests pass diff --git a/docs/changes/README.md b/docs/changes/README.md index 6e0c78e0a..98f469428 100644 --- a/docs/changes/README.md +++ b/docs/changes/README.md @@ -45,14 +45,16 @@ Typical triggers: ## Current Proposals -| Date | Name | Status | Tier | Description | -|------|------|--------|------|-------------| -| 2026-03-10 | [evm-stack-ssa-lifting](2026-03-10-evm-stack-ssa-lifting/README.md) | Implemented | Full | True-SSA stack lifting for EVM multipass JIT | +Each active proposal lives in its own subdirectory.
