What is the meaning of those prefix? Answer “SpeculativeSafeIntegerAdd” means “type feedback suggests that this + adds small integers, but that assumption must be guarded with a type check”. It’s an intermediate-level node that will be lowered further eventually. “CheckedInt32Add”

In V8, what is lazy deoptimization, and how does it happen?
According to V8 source code and turbofan materials, there is a type of deoptimization called lazy deoptimization which is described as follows(v8/src/common/globals.h): Lazy: the code has been marked as dependent on some assumption which is checked elsewhere and can trigger deoptimization the next time the code is executed. However, when observing the execution of ‘v8/test/mjsunit/compiler/deopt-lazy-shape-mutation.js’ with d8, I found that
In javascript V8 does compilation phase happen to functions before execution phase then all the code is executed or only for global context
I read many articles saying that compilation(creation) phase happens first to the global execution context then the code is executed and when a function is invoked the creation phase then begins again …
