Pull request overview
This PR optimizes the ES2020 nullish coalescing (??) transformer by moving the uncommon transformation work out of the hot traversal path, so enter_expression can stay small and inline well during AST traversal.
Changes:
- Marks
enter_expressionas#[inline]and makes it a cheap “is this???” check. - Moves the
??transformation logic into a separate#[cold]helper to keep the common path lightweight.

…nction (#23989) Small optimization to nullish coalescing transform. Move the logic for transforming `??` into a separate `#[cold]` function. The vast majority of `Expression`s are not `??` `LogicalExpression`s. This allows us to inline `enter_expression`, which becomes just a cheap "Is it `??`. No. Exit." check on the common path.
