test: batch JIT cast expressions

[vyasr]

Description

Batch the JIT cast-expression coverage for each destination type into one compute_table_jit invocation. This preserves coverage of every source/destination cast combination while avoiding repeated NVRTC compilation.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Expanded JIT expression coverage for cast operations across supported source types.
  • Added validation for 13 cast expressions against expected results.
  • Consolidated cast test scenarios into table-based testing.

Walkthrough

The cast tests add table comparison and array support. A templated helper now constructs typed inputs, evaluates 13 casts with compute_table_jit, and compares the results with expected columns.

Changes

JIT cast testing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Table-based cast validation cpp/tests/ast/jit_expressions_tests.cpp	The tests add table comparison and <array> support. The new test_cast_to helper combines integer, floating-point, and decimal inputs, evaluates 13 casts through compute_table_jit, and validates the resulting table against expected columns. The previous cast helpers were removed.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 292e7

Cast coverage is consolidated into a single batched JIT table test with result comparison retained. A benchmark would quantify the compilation-cost improvement, but no merge-blocking behavior risk remains.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a unit benchmark for the batched JIT path.

Measure cold compilation for this 13-expression compute_table_jit call. Compare it with the previous per-expression execution pattern. The current test validates results, but it cannot validate the stated NVRTC-compilation reduction.

As per coding guidelines, “6. Add unit tests and unit benchmarks.”
