From cb711d54624b24978dce49bec41333b74d6c2dab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "codeflash-ai[bot]" <148906541+codeflash-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 17:17:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Optimize TreeSitterAnalyzer.has_return_statement MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This optimization achieves an **80% speedup** (965μs → 534μs) by replacing recursive tree traversal with an iterative stack-based approach and removing unnecessary operations. ## Key Optimizations **1. Iterative Stack-Based Traversal (Primary Speedup)** The original `_node_has_return` used recursive calls with Python's call stack, which is expensive due to: - Function call overhead (frame creation/destruction) - Parameter passing on each recursive call - Generator expressions with `any()` creating iterator overhead The optimized version uses an explicit stack (`stack = [node]`) to traverse the AST iteratively. This eliminates: - ~2000+ recursive function calls in typical runs (line profiler shows 2037 hits on the recursive version) - Generator allocation overhead from `any(self._node_has_return(child) for child in node.children)` **2. Removed Unused `source.encode("utf8")` Call** The original code encoded the source string to bytes but never used `source_bytes`. This operation cost ~47μs per call (0.6% of total time) and was completely unnecessary. **3. Performance Characteristics by Test Case** - **Large bodies (1000+ nodes)**: ~195% faster — iterative approach shines with deep/wide trees by avoiding stack frame overhead - **Simple cases**: 9-34% faster — reduced overhead even for shallow trees - **Trade-off cases**: 15-25% slower on trivial 2-3 node trees — stack setup overhead marginally exceeds recursive call cost for extremely small inputs The optimization is particularly effective for real-world JavaScript/TypeScript code which often contains large function bodies with many statements, where the 195% speedup on large bodies demonstrates the practical value. The minor regression on trivial 2-3 node cases is negligible since production code rarely has such tiny functions, and the overall 80% speedup confirms this optimization benefits typical workloads. The iterative approach also provides more predictable performance and avoids potential stack overflow issues with extremely deep nesting, making it more robust for production use. --- .../languages/javascript/treesitter_utils.py | 39 ++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/codeflash/languages/javascript/treesitter_utils.py b/codeflash/languages/javascript/treesitter_utils.py index 23c3cdfb1..a7a5b5791 100644 --- a/codeflash/languages/javascript/treesitter_utils.py +++ b/codeflash/languages/javascript/treesitter_utils.py @@ -1227,7 +1227,6 @@ def has_return_statement(self, function_node: FunctionNode, source: str) -> bool True if the function has a return statement.
