Subject: [PATCH] Optimize JavaSupport.add_global_declarations
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The optimization achieves a **15% runtime improvement** (194μs → 168μs) by eliminating an unnecessary tuple assignment operation that was discarding unused parameters.

**Key Change:**
Removed the line `_ = optimized_code, module_abspath` which existed solely to suppress unused parameter warnings but consumed 62.5% of the function's execution time (196ns out of 313ns total).

**Why This Speeds Up the Code:**
In Python, tuple packing operations (`_ = a, b`) have a non-trivial cost involving:
- Creating a tuple object in memory
- Packing two references into it
- Assigning it to a variable (even if that variable is immediately discarded)

Since `add_global_declarations` always returns `original_source` unchanged and never uses `optimized_code` or `module_abspath`, this tuple assignment was pure overhead. The line profiler data confirms this cost at 196ns per call (170.9ns per hit).

**Impact Across Test Cases:**
The optimization shows consistent improvements across all test scenarios:
- Simple calls: 21-50% faster (e.g., empty strings test: 37.1% faster)
- Repeated operations: 14.5% faster over 1000 calls
- Large code handling: 27.1% faster even with 100k character optimized_code
- Complex scenarios: 15.6% faster with 100 repeated calls on large source

The improvement is most pronounced in high-frequency invocation scenarios (1145 hits in the profiler), making this optimization particularly valuable if this function is called in hot paths during Java code processing workflows.

**What Was Preserved:**
All other aspects remain identical—imports, class structure, method signature, and the core behavior of returning `original_source` unchanged—ensuring zero risk to existing functionality.
