Refactored AcBinary to use a single String marker (167) for long-form strings, replacing StringLen8/16/32. Implemented prefix-tier VarUInt encoding for string lengths, introduced FixStrCount constant, and removed legacy LEB128 code paths. Updated all serialization/deserialization logic and documentation to match the new format. Includes related micro-optimizations and code cleanup.
- Replace single String marker with StringLen8/16/32 (167–169) for explicit string length encoding (1/2/4 bytes)
- Update serialization/deserialization logic and marker checks for new scheme
- Rename charset suffixes: Latin1FixAscii → AsciiFix, add Latin1Fix (5-char Hungarian)
- Update menu, argument parsing, and references for new charset/test names and order
- Swap MaxDepthBehavior enum values: Throw=0, Truncate=1
- Update comments and docs for new marker and charset conventions
Refactored binary string serialization to use a new universal wire format with FixStr (135–166) and String (167) markers and unsigned excess slots, replacing the previous tiered approach. Updated all read/write logic, marker handling, and type code definitions accordingly. FastWire UTF-16 marker (91) now has dedicated handling with legacy compatibility. Removed legacy StringSmall/Medium/Big/Ascii code paths except for backward-compatibility. Improved buffer management in ArrayBinaryOutput and documented new critical issues regarding buffer ownership and disposal. Added new utility methods for marker encoding/decoding and excess slot sizing. Updated documentation and comments to match the new format.
- Refactored AcBinaryDeserializer string marker dispatch: hot path now handles all non-interning markers in a single inlinable method, cold path only for interning markers; improved safety and comments.
- Updated SGen codegen to only emit cold-path for interning-enabled types.
- Added debug guard for corrupted wire in ReadStringBig.
- Rewrote JitDisassemblyBenchmark as a direct JIT-disasm harness (outside BDN); updated Program.cs to use it for --jitasm.
- Benchmarks now pin charset to Latin1Short for cross-process consistency.
- Added new Bash commands for diff, JIT disasm, and diagnostics in settings.local.json.
- Benchmark charset profiles are now length-consistent: all *Short = 40 chars, all *Long = 280 chars, across ASCII, Latin1, CJK BMP, Cyrillic, and Mixed.
- `CharsetSuffixes` was rewritten with new profiles and base-string repetition for compile-time constants.
- Menu/configuration updated for new profiles, selection logic, and improved descriptions.
- Docs updated to reflect new profiles, lengths, and serialization tier impacts.
- `StringSmall` deserialization split into `ReadStringSmallCompact` and `ReadStringSmallFastWire`; all call sites now dispatch by mode, clarifying the hot path.
- SGen codegen and runtime dispatch tables updated for the new decode split.
- Binary marker docs clarified: only Intern/Metadata/Polymorph features are wire-symmetric for reader case omission; RefHandling is not.
- Added `BINARY_STRICT_SGEN.md` planning doc for a SGen-only, attribute-required, AOT-friendly NuGet package.
Refactored AcBinarySourceGenerator to use RefAwareEmitPredicate for all ref-handling switch decisions, ensuring child property ref-marker logic is based solely on child compile-time flags. Fixed deserialization drift when parent disables ref-handling but child enables it. Added regression tests and new test models to verify correct round-trip behavior for duplicate child references in collections and dictionaries. Improved XML docs and updated conventions for summary tags. Added SGen string round-trip tests for medium UTF-8/ASCII cases.
Refactored string property deserialization to separate hot (common, no-feature) and cold (feature-engaged) marker handling, improving JIT inlining and cold-start performance. Introduced `TryReadStringProperty` (hot, inlined) and `TryReadStringColdPath` (cold, optimized) methods. Updated method attributes for better JIT control and clarified WASM string-cache dead code. Added `BINARY_BYTECODE_OPTIMIZATION.md` and updated related docs. Removed AutoMapper, updated logging package versions, and adjusted project files and settings accordingly.
Major refactor: all benchmark engine implementations, enums, and helpers moved from Console project to AyCode.Core.Benchmarks.Workloads.Scenarios for unified cross-runner use. BenchmarkResult and reporting logic moved to AyCode.Core.Benchmarks.Reporting. Attribute-flag aggregation centralized in BenchmarkOptions. Updated all usages, project references, and SGen codegen for ref-handling. Prepares codebase for shared reporting and future extensibility.
Split AcBinarySourceGenerator.cs into multiple partial class files for improved maintainability and clarity. Each major concern (models, type analysis, class info extraction, writer/reader emit, diagnostics, and module init) now resides in its own file. Updated .gitignore and settings.local.json to support the new structure. No functional changes to generator output; this is a pure organizational refactor.
