Vec::from_array_in doesn't need to allocate when the array passed to it is zero-length.

This wasn't unsound as Allocator accepts zero-sized allocations, but it was pointless. Allocating a zero-sized type still aligns the bump cursor to the type's alignment, which is an allocation of sorts - it's not zero-cost.

Just delegate to Vec::new_in instead.

Pull request overview

This PR optimizes oxc_allocator::Vec::from_array_in to avoid performing a zero-sized arena allocation when the input array length is 0, delegating to Vec::new_in instead. This removes a pointless bump-cursor alignment side effect for N == 0 while preserving behavior for N > 0.

Changes:

  • Add an if N == 0 fast-path in Vec::from_array_in to return an empty arena Vec without allocating.
  • Keep the existing arena allocation path unchanged for non-empty arrays.

`Vec::from_array_in` doesn't need to allocate when the array passed to it is zero-length.

This wasn't unsound as `Allocator` accepts zero-sized allocations, but it was pointless. Allocating a zero-sized type still aligns the bump cursor to the type's alignment, which is an allocation of sorts - it's not zero-cost.

Just delegate to `Vec::new_in` instead.
