Optimize _get_parent_type_name
The optimized code achieves a **12% runtime improvement** by replacing the inline tuple `("ClassDef", "InterfaceDef", "EnumDef")` with a module-level `frozenset` constant `_PARENT_TYPE_NAMES`.
**What changed:**
- A `frozenset` containing the three parent type names is created once at module load time
- The membership test `parent.type in _PARENT_TYPE_NAMES` now uses the frozenset instead of creating a tuple on each check
**Why this is faster:**
The key performance gain comes from two factors:
1. **Constant instantiation overhead eliminated**: The original code creates a new tuple object every time the membership check executes (513 hits in the profile). The optimized version creates the frozenset only once at module load.
2. **O(1) hash-based lookup**: While the difference is marginal for just 3 elements, `frozenset` uses hash-based membership testing (O(1) average case) versus tuple's linear scan (O(n)). This provides a small but measurable speedup per check.
**Performance characteristics:**
The line profiler shows the critical loop line (checking `parent.type in ...`) executes 513 times and accounts for ~51% of total runtime. Even small per-iteration improvements here compound significantly. The test results confirm this:
- **Large-scale benefit**: The `test_large_scale_parents_last_element_matches` test shows a dramatic **27.2% speedup** (27.6μs → 21.7μs) when iterating through 500 parents, demonstrating the optimization scales well with larger parent lists
- **Small overhead on fast paths**: Tests with early returns or no parent iteration show minor slowdowns (3-13%), likely due to cache effects or measurement noise on nanosecond-scale operations
- **Overall win**: The aggregate 12% speedup indicates the optimization benefits the typical usage pattern where multiple parents are checked
This optimization is particularly valuable if `_get_parent_type_name` is called frequently during Java code analysis, as the savings multiply across many invocations.1 parent c1128eb commit 1a0ab57
