# KOS_OP_OBJECT_COMPARE_FAST - **Style**: EXTRA (CMP, CONST, FASTVAR, CONST). Row = bare selector, low bound (pool), middle operand fast slot, high bound (pool). Schema-static slots: no source bits, the shape is the opcode. - **Stack**: `[...] → [..., result]`. The ternary bounds idiom (`const < x < const`): chain-compare the three operands under the selector and push the chain result (for JUMP_FALSE / JUMP_TRUE or value use). - **Invariants**: Selector is a valid KosCompare ordinal. - **Compiler form:** Post-compile only: the generic `convert_fast` lowering of `OBJECT_COMPARE_VAR` when the middle name has a fast slot. A bounds check in value position is one dispatch; in branch position, two (this row plus the jump), down from five before fusion. **Example:** `(< 0 x 100)` on fast slot 0. | index | opcode | arg | arg view | comment | |------:|---------------------|-----|---------------------------------|---------| | 0 | OBJECT_COMPARE_FAST | 0 | (LT, c#0 (0), fast 0 ("x"), c#1 (100)) | stack: [..., bool] |
