v3.0.0-rc1 — Lua VM Internals + Expanded Fast Paths

on GitHub

wow_optimize v3.0.0-rc1

This release candidate expands the Lua optimization pipeline significantly while keeping the public-safe file I/O policy intact.

New in this build

Expanded Phase 2 Lua fast paths
Runtime discovery and native hooks now cover:

• string.find (plain mode)
• type()
• math.floor
• math.ceil
• math.abs
• math.max (2 args)
• math.min (2 args)
• string.len
• string.byte (single-byte fast path)
• tostring()
• tonumber()
• string.sub
• string.lower (ASCII fast path)
• string.upper (ASCII fast path)

Logs on real clients show successful stack calibration and full discovery/hooking of all targeted functions.

Lua VM internals
This build also adds two deeper Lua VM optimizations:

• luaS_newlstr string interning cache
• luaV_concat fast path for common small-string concatenation cases

These hooks are designed to reduce repeated VM overhead in addon-heavy gameplay.

Still intentionally disabled in public-safe builds

• MPQ memory mapping
• UI widget cache
• GetSpellInfo cache
• dynamic unit API cache
• GlobalAlloc fast path

Notes

This is a release candidate, not a final stable release yet.

If you test this build, please include:

• Logs\wow_optimize.log
• whether you use stock or HD/custom client
• whether the issue happens on one client or only with multiple clients
• whether the issue appears after long sessions, loading screens, or raid wipes
