📄 12% (0.12x) speedup for _get_parent_type_name in codeflash/languages/java/context.py

⏱️ Runtime : 151 microseconds → 135 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves an 11% runtime improvement by eliminating repeated tuple construction during membership testing.

Key Change:
The original code uses parent.type in ("ClassDef", "InterfaceDef", "EnumDef") which creates a new tuple on every iteration of the parent loop. The optimized version replaces this with a module-level constant _PARENT_TYPE_NAMES = frozenset(("ClassDef", "InterfaceDef", "EnumDef")).

Why This Is Faster:

1. Eliminates repeated allocations: The original code reconstructs the tuple 1,267 times per profiled run (visible in line profiler hits). Each reconstruction involves memory allocation and garbage collection overhead.
2. Faster membership testing: frozenset uses hash-based O(1) lookups vs. tuple's O(n) linear scan, though with only 3 elements this difference is minimal.
3. Reduced per-iteration overhead: The constant is created once at module load time rather than on every loop iteration.

Performance Profile:

• Best gains appear in scenarios with many non-matching parents (27.2% speedup when scanning 1000 non-matching parents)
• Consistent 5-15% improvements across most test cases
• Particularly effective when the function is called repeatedly in loops, as the constant is shared across all invocations

Test Results Show:

• Functions with large parent lists see the biggest improvements (e.g., 27.2% for 1000 non-matching parents, 10.4% for 500 matching classes)
• Minimal overhead (< 3% regression) in edge cases with empty strings or enum-only parents
• The optimization maintains correctness across all test scenarios including unicode names, special characters, and mixed type definitions

The line profiler confirms the hot spot is the membership test line (20.9% of total time), making this micro-optimization worthwhile for a function that may be called frequently during code analysis workflows.

# Important notes:
# - We use the real FunctionInfo class imported above.
# - Parent objects are simple namespaces with 'name' and 'type' attributes.
#   The FunctionInfo implementation only relies on those attributes (no isinstance),
#   so using SimpleNamespace keeps tests concise without inventing domain classes.
# - All tests are deterministic and avoid mocking the function under test.
