[dependabot]

Updated Jint from 4.10.1 to 4.12.0.

Release notes

Sourced from Jint's releases.

4.12.0

Jint 4.12.0 is a performance- and correctness-focused release. It completes the move to hidden-class shapes across the whole object model, extends the unboxed interpreter fast lanes to more operators and call shapes, and adds a layer of per-engine caching so re-executed scripts and re-created functions reuse their compiled metadata and environments. A pre-release review of everything since 4.11.0 also fixed several correctness regressions. No code changes are required to benefit.

Highlights

Object model — shapes everywhere. The hidden-class shape model now backs the built-in prototypes and constructors, TypedArrays, the global object, and Intl / Temporal (#​2580, #​2581, #​2582, #​2590, #​2595, #​2597). JSON.parse builds its result objects as shapes, so an array of like-shaped records costs one allocation per record instead of a property dictionary each (#​2634). Object literals inside generator/async frames and object spread {...src} adopt shapes too (#​2596, #​2648, #​2635), and a provably-simple constructor shapes its instances from the third construction (#​2636).

Interpreter fast lanes. New unboxed operand lanes for equality, bitwise, modulo-equality and sum-of-products expressions remove per-iteration boxing (#​2602, #​2604, #​2611, #​2628), and comparison operands are served from the validated global-descriptor cache (#​2603). Expression-only and if/else for-loop bodies run through a tight per-iteration cycle with a member-bound loop test (i < arr.length) (#​2605, #​2617, #​2623), env-less leaf calls run against the captured environment directly (#​2627), and functions that cannot observe their this skip this-binding (#​2626).

Caching & reuse. Nested-scope global reads and writes are served from a validated global-binding cache (#​2584, #​2625); hoisted function and class definitions, and the top-level statement handler tree, are reused across re-evaluations on an engine (#​2613, #​2615, #​2649); and for-of / for-in reuse a fixed-slot per-iteration environment, skipping per-iteration TDZ re-init where it is provably safe (#​2586, #​2632).

Lower allocations. A coverage campaign added benchmarks for common patterns the suite did not exercise and then closed the hotspots they surfaced (#​2630): resolved await chains and engine-internal promise reactions (#​2639), for-in enumeration (#​2640), throw/catch (#​2641), primitive number/boolean/bigint methods (no wrapper object, #​2642), and tagged templates (#​2638) all allocate far less.

Correctness. Fixes for sticky + global [Symbol.match] returning wrong results (#​2600), an unlabeled break escaping a labeled switch (#​2607), -0 in integer multiplication (#​2620), and raw property writes on shaped hosts (#​2591, #​2601). A pre-release review (#​2651) additionally fixed for-in re-enumerating a shadowed key (a mid-loop delete and a pooled-iterator reuse case), mapped-arguments writes being lost after the call returns (and duplicate-parameter mapping now follows the spec), and hardened the object-literal and built-in-shape paths.

Across the managed JavaScript engines for .NET, Jint 4.12.0 is the fastest engine on 17 of the 21 comparison scripts — and the fastest interpreter on all 21 — leading by up to ~5.4× over the next-fastest engine while allocating 2×–63× less memory than the closest competitor. See the engine comparison benchmarks for the full table.

4.11.0

Jint 4.11.0 is a performance-focused release. It completes the move to a hidden-class shape model for the object system and adds a family of unboxed interpreter fast lanes, so the most common patterns — object and array construction, property access, tight numeric loops, and eval — do less work and allocate far less memory, with no change to behavior.

Highlights

• Object model. Object literals, hot constructor instances, and the built-in prototypes now use hidden-class shapes, and small objects store their properties inline in a single allocation (#​2548, #​2552, #​2553, #​2554, #​2555, #​2556, #​2557, #​2559). Property reads and writes are served by inline caches (#​2546, #​2558).
• Interpreter fast lanes. Relational tests and plain/compound assignments against slot-stored numbers now run unboxed, removing per-iteration boxing from loops (#​2550, #​2566, #​2574, #​2577, #​2578). Strict eval runs in slot-backed environments (#​2565), direct-recursive calls pool their environments (#​2549), and Function-constructor instances reuse a definition-level environment (#​2579).
• Lower memory. Function.prototype.toString source-text retention is now opt-in (#​2562), and the changes above cut allocations across the board — direct recursion, for example, allocates up to ~99% less.
• Correctness. Fixes for async parameter binding after await (#​2567), Map iteration during mutation (#​2570), and ShadowRealm evaluation of super / new.target (#​2573).

Across the managed JavaScript engines for .NET, Jint 4.11.0 is the fastest on most object, string and regex workloads — 1.7–5× over the next-fastest engine — while allocating 2–63× less memory than the closest competitor. See the engine comparison benchmarks for the full table.

[!WARNING]
Function.prototype.toString() no longer returns source text by default. To cut memory use (#​2560), the engine no longer retains each parsed function's source string, so toString() now returns a function name() { [native code] } placeholder instead of the original source. If your scripts — or a library you host — depend on toString() returning real source, re-enable it with new Engine(options => options.RetainFunctionSourceText()) (equivalently Options.RetainFunctionSourceText = true, or the matching RetainFunctionSourceText flag on ScriptParsingOptions / ModuleParsingOptions and prepared scripts).

Performance caveat: turning it back on restores the previous memory behavior — every parsed function pins its full source string, so caching many or large prepared scripts can retain hundreds of MB of duplicated source (the retention that #​2560 was filed to fix). Enable it only when you actually need the source text.
