What this changes

Programs that read or write many zip entries spend their time in a few places. This PR makes four of them cheaper. Each change keeps results identical to HotSpot.

• Inflate and CRC32. CRC32 uses slicing-by-8 tables, and single-byte updates no longer allocate. The inflate decoder keeps its state in locals, copies stored blocks in bulk, and updates the window and the Adler-32 once per call instead of once per byte. test/zip.test.ts checks both against node:zlib for every split of input and output, including output that fills exactly on the last literal.
• Array intrinsics. ArraysSupport.vectorizedMismatch, ArraysSupport.vectorizedHashCode and StringCoding.countPositives run natively. The Java versions read longs through Unsafe, which are BigInts here, so Arrays.mismatch, Arrays.equals and String.hashCode on long arrays were slow. Results match the Java code, including the tail handling that callers rely on (test/java/ArrayIntrinsics.java).
• JIT. A virtual or interface call site inlines the method of the receiver class seen last there, guarded by a class check. At the top level a failed guard takes the normal call. Inside an inlined region it deoptimizes, as a cold block does. A call loop on one receiver class runs 2.2 times faster. test/java/VirtualInline.java changes the receiver class after compilation and matches HotSpot.
• File writes. writeAt no longer copies the bytes it writes to the host, and a host handle normalizes its path once instead of on every write.

Measurements

ZipBench over the JDK's ct.sym (10 MB), medians of three runs alternating master and this branch, milliseconds:

section	master	branch
ZipFile read all entries	3024	2921
ZipInputStream read all entries	1407	1093
zipfs read all entries	11907	10377
ZipOutputStream 20000 stored entries	2449	2252
UTF-16 zip, 5000 entries, write and read	12278	10179
zipfs 12 MB entry, stored, write and verify	1513	909
zipfs 12 MB entry, deflated, write and verify	1154	449
CPU seconds, whole run	52.8	46.5

1 KB writes through Files.newOutputStream went from 3044 ms (best of four) to 2680 ms per 100000 writes.

The four tests

They stay too slow, and the profiles say why.

• TestZipFileEncodings fails on master and here for a reason that is not speed: IBM01149, IBM037 and IBM-Thai need the jdk.charsets module, which the image does not have. 9 of 28 cases fail, 19 pass. The passing cases take about 400 s before and after this change. The time is JIT-compiled charset coder loops, one Java call per character.
• LargeEntriesTest spends about 28% of its time in FileChannel.read for short positioned reads, the rest in zipfs Java code. In the master profile, JThread.enter, the direct-call entry, is the largest single self cost (20%) in this test and in the others.
• ZipFSOutputStreamTest on master: writing the 2 GB stored entry takes 269 s and reading it back 270 s. About two thirds of that is host write and read calls on the test machine's disk. The CPU part includes about 60 s of Arrays.mismatch through BigInt Unsafe reads, which the new intrinsic removes.
• UnixSocketFile does not run slowly. It hangs: the VM's WatchService never sees the socket file that the host nc process creates, because only changes made inside the VM reach inotify watchers. It waits forever in ws.take().

None of the four go into passing.txt, since none reach 60 s.

Tests

pnpm typecheck passes. Run one file at a time: zip, fs, nio, natives, library, snapshot, warm-jit and warm-snapshot pass. programs passes 88 of 90. The two failures, OpenFileDescriptors and VmOptions, fail the same way on master with the image I built them against, which lacks jdk.management.

Noticed, not fixed

• Add jdk.charsets to the image so TestZipFileEncodings can pass; it is one entry in the module list of scripts/build-jdk.sh, at the cost of image size.
• Report host-side file creation to WatchService (for example fs.watch on the directory under Node) so UnixSocketFile can pass.
• JThread.enter dominates call-heavy profiles. Raising MAX_INLINE_BYTES from 35 to 60 cut calls by 27% in the zip benchmark but the wall time gain stayed inside the noise, so it is not part of this PR.
• Most remaining per-call cost sits in the temporary direct buffer path of IOUtil.read and IOUtil.write for heap buffers, about 80 Java calls per 1 KB channel write.

Changes: Filesystem change notifications

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize paths before notifying watchers src/fs.ts	changed forwards a normalized path to the watcher and warm-trace updates. openFile uses the normalized path after successful writes and truncations.

ZIP checksumming and inflation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Process CRC32 in eight-byte chunks src/natives/zip.ts, test/zip.test.ts	CRC32 uses slicing tables to process eight-byte chunks, and the single-byte update uses the first table directly. Tests compare checksum results with zlib.
Decode streams and update output state src/inflate.ts, test/zip.test.ts	Inflate uses a local Huffman decode loop and batches checksum and history-window updates at call completion. Stored blocks can copy available input directly to output. Tests cover wrapped and raw streams, chunking, checksums, and stream completion.

Virtual and interface call inlining

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Guard inlined calls by receiver class src/jit.ts, test/java/VirtualInline.java	The JIT can inline eligible virtual and interface calls using cached targets and receiver-class guards. Other receivers use deoptimization or normal dispatch. The Java test exercises calls across receiver classes.

Array and string intrinsics

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Register and exercise array intrinsics src/natives/arrays.ts, src/natives/index.ts, src/natives/misc.ts, test/java/ArrayIntrinsics.java	New native handlers implement array mismatch, Java-style array hashing, and positive-byte counting. The intrinsic registry includes the handlers. The Java test exercises comparisons, hashes, and string decoding.

NIO stdout and stderr writes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Copy output bytes for callbacks src/natives/nio.ts	writeAt uses a subarray for the requested memory range and passes a copied slice to stdout or stderr callbacks.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 18dbf

The change speeds up ZIP, array and call-dispatch handling, and the visible code shows no concrete failure. The JIT receiver-guard test does not confirm that the guard-miss path is exercised, so a regression there could go unnoticed. This is a low risk that the owner should be aware of.

Then hashes the arrays just right.

While ZIP streams through the buffers fast.

Additional comments: 5

src/natives/nio.ts: 1

447-447: Data Integrity & Integration

No inspected backend retains the input. The interface does not establish that a backend may retain it as file data, so the proposed corruption path is unsupported.

src/jit.ts: 3

1172-1182: Functional Correctness

An uncached interface call does not emit the interface-class guard. A private interface call is not inlined, but it retains direct invocation. The evidence establishes no requirement to inline it or regression from the prior behavior.

---

1019-1019: Stability & Availability

The inspected path supports nested frame reconstruction and the requested accounting. Guard misses can repeat before the threshold, but the counter is per region method, not per call site. The evidence does not establish a material performance failure or a requirement for the requested benchmark.

---

1010-1012: Functional Correctness

The claimed intrinsic path cannot reach bytecode inlining: intrinsic methods have no code, so the cache checks reject them.

test/zip.test.ts: 1

26-26: Maintainability & Code Quality

The tested stream contains long-distance matches, including one that reads across a call boundary after the ring wraps. The proposed additional dataset is not needed to establish that coverage.

Assert coverage of the receiver-class guard deopt.

The HotSpot comparison can pass without entering the inlined region or deoptimizing on a receiver change. Add a targeted check for that path while retaining the output comparison.

JW_JIT_STATS alone cannot identify the guard miss: it labels rt.DEOPT as “cold block.” A top-level genInvoke guard miss also uses the slow path rather than deoptimizing.

This PR optimizes zip reading/writing via four changes: inflate/CRC32 improvements, array intrinsics, JIT receiver-class inlining, and file write fast-paths. However, the inflate.ts changes contain critical bugs: finishCall() is placed after a try-catch whose try block is an infinite loop with only return/throw exits, making it unreachable; the window update uses an incorrect absolute position formula; and early returns in Stored/Huffman/Trailer stages bypass finishCall() entirely, so the sliding window and Adler-32 are never updated for partial calls. The array intrinsics lack long[] hashCode support despite the PR claiming it. The nio.ts writeAt change uses zero-copy subarray for files, which risks data corruption if the host write is asynchronous.

[project516-review-bot]

Early return in Stored stage (also lines 293, 299, 310, and Huffman returns at lines 381, 385, 391, 411, 415, 421) bypasses finishCall(). Any partial call that returns early leaves the window and checksum unupdated for the bytes produced in that call. Since finishCall() is also unreachable (see line 176 comment), no path updates them. Every early return must call finishCall() first, or the loop must be restructured to guarantee it runs.

[project516-review-bot]

The PR description states 'Arrays.hashCode on long arrays were slow' and this intrinsic fixes it, but the function only handles T_BOOLEAN (4), T_CHAR (5), and a default case for Int8Array/Uint16Array/Int16Array/Int32Array. Long arrays (BigInt64Array) are not handled; they would fall through to the default case which reads 4-byte ints, producing wrong results. Add a case for long (type 8) that reads BigInt64Array and computes (x ^ (x >> 32)) per element.
