+# performance.timerify project
+
+goal: implement timerify:
+timerify(fn, {histogram: Histogram})
+
+timerify modifies the passed-in histogram by registering events into it. The histogram can later print performance distribution after many runs.
+
+Two main parts of this so far:
+
+- implement timerify function in JS (because it wraps a user's function and that's annoying to pass across language boundaries)
+- implement Histogram class in Zig (used by timerify but nice to have performance and it's in CPP in node)
+
+## How I got timerify to work
+
+Thanks Jarred for the help on this one.
+
+performance.timerify is part of the `node:perf_hooks` global, so importing it takes this code path:
+
+- `perf_hooks.ts`
+  - this file was already here
+  - note we get "Performance" from globalThis, so that's proof it's a global
+  - `performance.timerify` calls via `JSPerformance.cpp`
+- `JSPerformance.cpp`
+  - this file was already here
+  - name prefix "JS" implies codegen but this case is exception since it's part of webcore which we'd copied in and now manually edit
+  - note the `JSPerformancePrototypeTableValues`:
+    - for the other performance functions, they're implemented in C++ so we use `JSC::PropertyAttribute::Function` and `HashTableValue::NativeFunctionType` which call their respective C++ implementations
+    - for timerify, we use `PropertyAttribute::Builtin` and `HashTableValue::BuiltinGeneratorType` which will call through an _autogenerated_ C++ file to arrive back at a JS/TS file. It uses the `performanceTimerifyCodeGenerator` identifier, which I'll explain below.
+- `Performance.ts`
+  - I created this file
+  - the existance of this TS file in `src/js/builtins` means it'll receive codegen for any exported functions
+  - we `export timerify`
+  - codegen will generate this glue function: (camelCased) {filename}{functionName}CodeGenerator, which is why we used `performanceTimerifyCodeGenerator` in `JSPerformance.cpp`
+
+Calling `timerify` from JS will just feel like you're calling `Performance.ts``timerify` directly. It "just works" as if the glue code weren't there.
+
+## how I got Histogram to work
+
+This one was a bit harder, because I implement the class in Zig.
+
+I followed `node_fs.zig` for inspiration. Thanks Dave as well for walking me through initial setup.
+
+importing Histogram from node:perf_hooks follows this code path:
+
+- `perf_hooks.ts`
+  - note the key bit here: `$zig("node_perf_hooks_histogram_binding.zig", "createPerfHooksHistogramBinding");`
+    - `$zig()` calls into a zig binding
+    - `node_perf_hooks_histogram_binding.zig` is in `src/bun.js/node`
+    - `createPerfHooksHistogramBinding` is the function name
+- `node_perf_hooks_histogram_binding.zig`
+  - I made this file
+  - let's look at `createPerfHooksHistogramBinding`:
+
+```javascript
+pub fn createPerfHooksHistogramBinding(global: *JSC.JSGlobalObject) callconv(.C) JSC.JSValue {
+    const histogram = JSC.JSValue.createEmptyObject(global, 1);
+    histogram.put(
+        global,
+        bun.String.init("createHistogram"),
+        JSC.JSFunction.create(
+            global,
+            "createHistogram",
+            &createHistogram,
+            3, // function length
+            .{},
+        ),
+    );
+
+    return histogram;
+}
+```
+
+- it must be pub fn
+- it must receive `(global: *JSC.JSGlobalObject)`
+- it must use `callconv(.C)` since it needs to speak C ABI for JS interop
+- it must return a `JSC.JSValue`
+- we want to create an object in JSC, which is the `JSC.JSValue` that's passed back to `perf_hooks.ts`
+- we add the `createHistogram` as a function onto it. This is the name JS sees. The `3` is the max quantity of args.
+
+- let's look at `createHistogram` itself, which is the function actually called by JS.
+
+```javascript
+  fn createHistogram(globalThis: *JSC.JSGlobalObject, _: *JSC.CallFrame) callconv(.C) JSC.JSValue {
+    return bun.new(Histogram, .{}).toJS(globalThis);
+}
+```
+
+- `bun.new(T, init_value)` creates the object on heap, and `.toJS(globalThis)` makes it a `JSC.JSValue` for return
+  - you'll see later where the destroy happens.
+- following this pattern, we can have an arbitrary Histogram struct, fully in Zig.
+
+But there's more to do. We have the createHistogram function but we need to codegen a way to represent the Histogram class itself and pass it across Zig/JS boundaries.
+
+- `src/bun.js/node/node.classes.ts`
+  - this file defines classes that need to be codegen'ed
+  - I add the histogram class, important fields have comments:
+
+```javascript
+define({
+    name: "Histogram", // the name in JS
+    construct: false,
+    noConstructor: true,
+    finalize: true, // this triggers the deallocation for bun.destroy
+    configurable: false,
+    hasPendingActivity: false,
+    klass: {},
+    JSType: "0b11101110",
+    proto: {
+      // we put methods here
+      update: { // name in JS
+        fn: "update", // name in Zig
+        length: 1, // quantity of args
+      },
+
+      foo: { getter: "foo" }, // public getters, so that histogram.foo is gettable from JS
+    },
+
+    values: [],
+  }),
+```
+
+- lastly, add the class to `generated_class_list.zig` as `JSC.Node.Histogram`
+
+Ok, we're almost there. Now we need to look at the Histogram struct for a few subtle things we need to do.
+
+```javascript
+pub const Histogram = struct {
+    pub usingnamespace JSC.Codegen.JSHistogram; // Important, makes the JS interop work
+
+    // Zig native stuff
+    foo: u64 = 0,
+    const This = @This();
+
+    // We can a custom, arbitrary method, make sure to add it to the class in node.classes.ts
+    // It must have this function signature: (*Self, globalThis, callframe) callconv(.C) JSValue
+    pub fn update(self: *This, globalThis: *JSC.JSGlobalObject, callframe: *JSC.CallFrame) callconv(.C) JSValue {
+        // args come from the callframe

+- actually adding Histogram as an argument into timerify and making timerify call Histogram methods
+- implementing all of Histogram
