executeBytecode

function executeBytecode(
   bytecode,
   vm,
   pipeline?,
   expression?,
   context?,
   symbolicTolerant?
): EvalResult;

Defined in: packages/engine/src/vm/VM.ts:3612

Execute bytecode with optional diagnostic pipeline integration.

Performance notes:

• Uses a switch(op) statement for dispatch. V8 compiles dense integer switches (OpCode values 0–200) into a jump table with O(1) dispatch. The common handlers are inlined in the switch cases; the rarely used ones are module-level helpers (see the note above them), because V8 will not optimise this function at all once its bytecode passes 61,440 bytes.
• ADD/SUB/MUL/DIV and the six comparisons open with an inlined plain-number branch: two Numbers carrying no rational or uncertainty sidecar (>90% of arithmetic ops) are answered before any helper (fault propagation, percentage, rate period, money, unit, binaryOp()) is called. The sidecar checks are what keep the branch honest: an exact fraction or a measurement takes the ladder below it, exactly as before.
• Tracing uses a boolean guard (shouldTrace) that the JIT eliminates entirely when diagnostics are disabled. No function call overhead.
• Value.toNumber() caches its result, computed once, read thereafter.
