Target

Repo: https://github.com/nicowillis/v8 (GitHub mirror; canonical source requires depot_tools from https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8) Language: C++ Why: JS JIT compiler affecting Chrome, Node.js, and Deno — linear vector scans in TurboFan IR graph reduction phases inflate compile time on hot functions.

Key files to check

src/compiler/graph.cc — TurboFan graph node storage and traversal
src/compiler/pipeline.cc — Compilation pipeline; graph reduction phase ordering
src/compiler/turbofan-graph-reducer.cc — Node reduction loop; visited/revisit tracking
src/compiler/loop-analysis.cc — Loop detection in IR graph; SCC over nodes

Expected pattern

std::find(nodes.begin(), nodes.end(), node) or a NodeVector used as a visited set inside GraphReducer::ReduceGraph or LoopFinder::FindLoops — these are hot paths called per-compilation of JIT-compiled functions.

Acceptance criteria

Scan run and results saved to tools/scan-results/v8.txt
All CANDIDATE hits triaged (confirmed defect or false positive)
If confirmed: defect ticket created in tools/tickets/defects/
