Cheaper direct calls and real heap figures from Runtime - #26
Cheaper direct calls. Compiled code called rt.enter, which called JThread.directFrame. They are now one method, JThread.enter, called straight from the generated code. Method entry and frame setup were 7% of javac's CPU time. Over 3 alternating runs compiling 30 files, javac took 43.3 s against 44.3 s on master, about 2% faster.
Real heap figures.Runtime.totalMemory() and freeMemory() always returned 512 MB and 256 MB. They now report the JS heap, the same figures the memory MXBean already used. Under Node these figures now also count array buffers, because Java primitive arrays are typed arrays and live outside the JS heap. Engines that expose no heap figures keep the old fixed values. test/java/RuntimeMemory.java checks that holding a 64 MB array raises used memory, as on HotSpot.
Tests: pnpm test passes (129 tests).
Noticed, not fixed
The bytecode interpreter is 16% of javac's CPU time; Arrays.fill is 0.1%. Warmup is being studied separately.

- Line 164: Update popFrame to clear f.lock after releasing the monitor, so
popped frames no longer retain the receiver. Keep monitor release behavior
intact; this covers both normal returns and exception unwinds that call
popFrame.
Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Runtime memory reporting now reflects the committed heap and current usage when memory statistics are available, including Node.js buffer allocations. Reported values are kept within the configured heap limits.
Memory reporting uses a fallback when heap statistics are unavailable, helping avoid misleading values.
The JIT now delegates compiled-method entry to JThread.enter, which checks depth limits and handles synchronized-method monitors. Heap statistics now include Node array buffers, support Chrome heap measurements, and inform Java Runtime memory reporting.
Changes: Direct Compiled-Method Entry
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Thread-owned direct entry src/thread.ts
JThread.enter checks direct-call depth and stack limits, attempts monitor entry for synchronized methods, and retains an acquired lock on the direct frame.
Compiled-call entry points src/jit.ts
Direct compiled calls and signature-polymorphic call paths use JThread.enter. The JIT-local direct-call limit and entry helper are removed.
Java Heap Reporting
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Heap statistics and management reporting src/natives/management.ts
javaHeap reports Node heap values including array buffers, uses Chrome heap values when Node data is unavailable, and returns null when neither source is available. heapUsage uses zero values when statistics are unavailable.
Runtime memory methods and validation src/natives/lang.ts, test/java/RuntimeMemory.java
Runtime.freeMemory() and Runtime.totalMemory() use heap statistics when available and retain fallback values. RuntimeMemory checks memory usage and reported memory ordering after allocating a long array.
Project516/java-web#13: Makes MAX_HEAP configurable, which is used by the heap clamps and Runtime fallback values in this change.
Merge Risk: Low · up to df254
Compiled synchronized calls now keep their receiver reachable through the thread's frame pool after returning. This is bounded and self-correcting, but long-lived threads can hold some objects longer than necessary. Clearing the lock reference when a frame is popped is a small fix. Otherwise the direct-call and heap-reporting changes look safe to merge.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Do not treat Chrome’s cached figures as current usage.
Chrome caches performance.memory for at least 50 ms, or 20 minutes in bucketized contexts. A Java allocation within that interval can leave both Runtime and MXBean usage unchanged. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Track Java allocations separately, or use a fallback that does not present the cached values as current usage.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Compiled code now calls JThread.enter directly instead of rt.enter, merging frame setup and method entry and achieving about 2% faster javac compilation. Runtime.totalMemory() and freeMemory() now report actual JS heap figures (including array buffers under Node) instead of fixed 512 MB/256 MB values, with fallbacks for engines that do not expose heap data.
