perf(codegen): stop disabling Ptr<Shape> in entry bodies for a bug fixed in the runtime — 110 to 89 instructions (#10769) by proggeramlug · Pull Request #10774 · PerryTS/perry

proggeramlug · 2026-09-20T01:32:15Z

Part of #10769.

RepselContextFlags::derive's Entry arm forced allows_ptr_shape: false and a MODULE_INIT_CONTEXT denial, on the stated grounds that "#6991 is an open rooting bug in exactly that position".

#6991 is closed. It was fixed by #7249 (64c1f56fb), which placed populate_global_this_builtins inside a GcSuppressScope — a runtime fix, not a codegen one. That issue's closing comment re-verified the repsel witness 10/10 on the evacuating arm and 3/3 under PERRY_GC_ZEAL=1, at 3.4× the heap movement the original crash needed.

So the gate has been guarding a bug that no longer exists, and its effect was that a shape proof in an entry body was made, counted as a win in the optimiser report, and then dropped at every access site.

The Entry arm now derives all three flags from their knobs like any other body. Two files, +58/−25.

fixture	base	fix	node
module-level `const`, loop at module level	110.00	88.99 (−19.1%)	14.50
same body inside a function (control)	—	unmoved	—

Three independent fixtures give the same delta, stable at both fit ranges. This does not reach parity — roughly 36 instructions of entry-body cost remain and are not this gate.

The existing witness could not serve, and my first replacement was worse

test_gap_repsel_ptr_shape_locals reports 18 selected / 11 denied with the gate both on and off — every candidate it holds is inside a function or module-globalized. It was run (48 runs per arm, 0 failures) but it proves nothing about this change.

The replacement fixture's first draft witnessed nothing: it included Object.freeze and Object.defineProperty, either of which arms the module-wide §5.2 barrier kill and disables all Ptr<Shape> promotion in the module. It reported 0 selected / 15 denied on both arms, and would have passed every GC run below while exercising zero of the change. Those two sections were removed.

Proving the fixture is actually live needed care, because the selection count cannot show it — this gate drops the fact at access sites, not at selection. The evidence used instead: module-init denial mentions 29 → 20, binaries verified distinct, and whole-program instructions 27,662,909 → 27,354,578 (−1.11%).

Sabotage

Restoring allows_ptr_shape: false fails with repsel_gates.rs:332 left: (true, true, false) right: (true, true, true). Restoring ptr_shape_denial: Some(MODULE_INIT_CONTEXT) fails with :334 left: Some("module_init_context") right: None. Restored: 3/3, no markers left behind.

The nine real programs do not move — a zero, with the mechanism checked

0.000% to −0.004% on the five realsuite programs; ±0.04% on the four clisuite programs.

--opt-report module-init denial mentions are identical on both arms for all nine (validate 8/8, resolve 3/3, tok 11/11, …). None of them has a Ptr<Shape> candidate in its entry body. validate and resolve do hold module-level const records, but they are read from inside functions, which globalizes them and places them behind the separate storage limitation tracked as #7109 — deliberately untouched here.

That split is the useful part: a top-level binding read only at top level is not globalized, and this gate was its whole blocker; one read from a function globalizes it and it becomes #7109. It is exactly the boundary between the rows that moved and the nine programs that did not.

Gates

Node identity unchanged — realsuite 51/1 (the known nest diff, #10733), clisuite 4/0, rungs 67/0. perry-runtime 4083/0, perry-hir 764/0, perry-transform 157/0; perry-codegen 2157/1, the same pre-existing manifest failure that fails identically on base. cargo fmt clean. Clippy 339 = 339 — it was 340 until the now-unused MODULE_INIT_CONTEXT import was removed. RSS between −0.35% and +0.34%. CLI instructions flat to ±0.04%; wall-clock spread was ±9% in both directions, i.e. the box.

GC matrix: 50 runs per arm, 0 failures, byte-compared to node — forced evacuation, evacuation verification, from-space poison plus scan with abort, and 10 seeded schedule-fuzz runs. This tree has no PERRY_GC_ZEAL; seeded schedule fuzz at rate 1 was used instead and is labelled a substitute rather than presented as zeal.

… every element access (PerryTS#10718) An indexed read on an ordinary `Array` cost 87 instructions per element, against 6 for the identical arithmetic on a `Float64Array` and 16 for node. None of it was a runtime call: callgrind attributes 88.3 instructions per element to straight-line code in `main`, of which **56 are loop-invariant receiver revalidation** re-executed every iteration — the NaN-box tag and handle-band test, the forwarding-flag follow, and a six-load live-head guard that re-reads gc_type, gc_flags, obj_flags, a volatile invalidation flag, length and capacity. perry already has tiers that hoist exactly this proof into the loop preheader and version the loop. They were declining at a single gate in `stmt/loops.rs` — `array_static_type_excluded` — a **declared static type** test sitting in front of a tier that is otherwise fully runtime-guarded. `const a: number[] = new Array(400)` reached it and measured 13.4; plain `new Array(400)` infers `Array<any>` and did not, so ordinary JavaScript never got the tier it already had. Separately, and larger: `a[i] += 1` cost 948 instructions per element, 3.7x the identical `a[i] = a[i] + 1`, and a type annotation did not help. `lower/expr_assign.rs` minted the compound-assignment spill temporaries as `Type::Any`, erasing the receiver's array-ness and the index's integer-ness before codegen could see the statement — which is why no annotation could recover it. The temporaries now carry the operand types. Array read 87.0 -> 13.5 (node 16.3 — perry now wins 1.21x) a[i] += 1 948 -> 273 a[i] += b[i] 1025 -> 347 bare loop 4.0 -> 4.0 unchanged to the instruction Float64Array r/w 6.0/8.0 -> 6.0/8.0 unchanged to the instruction A particle simulation over four numeric arrays spends 60.9% fewer instructions (41.21 G -> 16.12 G) and 59% less peak RSS. The widened tier initially regressed a numeric window inside an otherwise non-numeric array by 33%, because the array-wide layout walk runs per loop entry. A window-scoped layout proof is used as a second chance after that walk declines; both shapes are now 12-13% wins, and arrays that are non-numeric from slot 0 are unchanged to the instruction.

…ent stores (PerryTS#10718) An indexed write cost 105 instructions per element with zero runtime calls; 51 of them were loop-invariant receiver revalidation and 42 was a write-barrier decision provable away from the value type. This widens the store admission the way PerryTS#10731 widened reads. a[i] = k + i 105 -> 17.4, a[i] = a[i] + 1 256 -> 24.5, a[i] = a[i] + b[i] 333 -> 35.9. The bare loop, both Float64Array paths and the indexed read are unchanged to the instruction. The barrier-stem census probe for idxset.recv_global gains a second statement: the widened tier made its loop qualify, which would have left that stem with no live witness. A future multi-statement store tier must re-shape the probe, not delete it. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ

…already had (PerryTS#10743) Fixes PerryTS#10743. Stacked on PerryTS#10746 (`2b2b89063`), which contains PerryTS#10731. `a[i] += 1` and `a[i] = a[i] + 1` are the same operation and node compiles both to the same cost. perry compiled them 11x apart -- 277 instructions per element against 24 -- and the slow one was the idiomatic spelling. HIR's `hoist_compound_member_assign` lowers a compound member assignment into two immutable alias `Let`s plus the store, so the base and the key are each evaluated exactly once and before the right-hand side. `packed_f64_range_loop_body_collect` admits exactly ONE statement, so the lowering guaranteed the statement could never reach the tier that makes the expanded form fast. Annotating the array changed nothing: the obstacle is the statement count, not type information. The temporaries stay. They are load-bearing -- an RHS call can reassign the bindings they were read from, and the store must still land at the index evaluated before it ran (`a[i] += (() => { i = 2; return 5; })()`). So the fold is in the MATCHER, and it applies only to the guarded fast clones: the slow clone lowers the statements as written, so a failed guard and every side exit still execute the specified evaluation order. Inside the matched subset the fold is exact, because `packed_f64_range_loop_pure_expr_collect` is a whitelist that admits no call, closure, `await`, update or assignment anywhere in the statement -- nothing can write the locals the aliases read. This needs none of PerryTS#10741's mid-iteration side-exit discipline: the folded-away statements perform no stores, so there is nothing to un-do when a guard fails partway. Per element, fitted across N=10,000 -> 50,000, three interleaved rounds per arm: a[i] += 1 277.05 -> 25.46 (node 16.9) a[i] -= 1 208.05 -> 27.45 (node 16.9) a[i] += b[i] 347.05 -> 35.86 (node 25.8) -- now exactly a[i] = a[i] + b[i] a[i] *= 1 206.05 -> 25.45 (node 15.1) a[i] |= 0 236.05 -> 52.46 (node 12.7) The bare loop, both `Float64Array` rows, the indexed read and write and both expanded spellings are unchanged -- their emitted LLVM IR is byte-identical between arms, which is a stronger witness than a flat fitted number. It moves none of the five real programs in PerryTS#10695, and the compiler's own trace says why: `sim` still reports 3 x `body_not_admissible`, because its inner loop is five statements containing two `if`s. This admits a body whose extra statements are compound-assign ALIASES, not a body whose extra statements do things. That remains PerryTS#10741. New diagnostic: `PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1` prints `[range-loop] admitted: compound_assign_alias_fold`. The existing traces report only DECLINES, so there was no way to show that a fixture claiming to exercise a guarded path actually reached it -- the exact gap that let PerryTS#10746 ship a GC stress whose fixtures were all declined before the guard under test ran. Correctness: 25 differential fixtures (evaluation order with a side-effecting RHS, getters and setters on the array / on `Array.prototype` / on the index, a prototype getter that truncates, deletes from or freezes the array mid-loop, frozen and sealed in sloppy and strict mode, a non-writable index, holes, out of bounds, past `length`, non-number elements, string `+=`, heap-reference stores, offset and affine indices, module-global receivers, typed arrays, and all fifteen compound operators) pass on both arms with byte-identical results. Guard sabotage: removing the per-store numeric-bits value check produces 27 SIGABRTs across seven heap-limit seeds under `PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1` (0 unsabotaged), with the from-space scan naming a survivor-space array holding an un-evacuated nursery pointer through a slot that was never marked dirty -- so this path does not bypass PerryTS#10746's write barrier, it is the same check on the same store. Neutering the loop-entry guard turns four fixtures red, all of them through the fold. The `mutable: false` condition is witnessed by a unit test and an IR test; the `__cmpd_` name test and the initialiser grammar are scoping restrictions with unit-test witnesses only, and lowering the folded body in the slow clone as well turns nothing red -- all three are stated as unwitnessed in the report rather than claimed. Gates: node identity 92 identical / 1 diff / 0 compile-fail on both arms with byte-identical results files (the diff is the pre-existing PerryTS#10733 `nest` defect); `perry-codegen` lib 1650 pass including the barrier stem census and its four sabotage twins, with NO census probe change needed; `perry-hir` green; clippy 470 = 470 with identical per-category counts; `cargo fmt`, `check_file_size.sh`, `gc_runtime_root_holders.py` and `local_binding_type_audit.py` clean and identical on both arms; peak RSS worst case +0.60%. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ

…base

…stitution (PerryTS#10761) `o["a"]` written in source is already lowered to `o.a` by the AST->HIR member lowering (the PerryTS#529 fold in `lower/expr_member/member_tail.rs`). But `module_const_fold` substitutes a hoisted `const K = "a"` into the key position *after* that matcher has run, and nothing re-ran it — so the enclosing node stayed an `IndexGet` and codegen's static-string-key arm resolved it by name at runtime on every read: UTF-8-validate the key, hash it for the accessor Bloom summary, classify the receiver, then scan the shape's key array. Phase 2 re-applies the same rewrite. The produced node is bit-identical to the one `o["name"]` produces in source, so there is no new fast path and no new guard; the read simply reaches the per-site monomorphic inline cache that the dotted spelling already used. O[K] + O[J] on {a:1,b:2,c:3} 1236 -> 169 instructions/iteration (7.31x) which is exactly what the same pair spelled `O.a + O.b` costs. Identical at both fit ranges. It also corrects a spec divergence: `null[K]` and `undefined[K]` silently read `undefined` before this change, where node throws a TypeError. Numeric-index strings are excluded, mirroring the source-level fold verbatim, so `arr["0"]` keeps IndexGet semantics. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ

…at was fixed in the runtime (PerryTS#10769) `RepselContextFlags::derive`'s `Entry` arm forced `allows_ptr_shape: false` and a `MODULE_INIT_CONTEXT` denial, on the stated grounds that "PerryTS#6991 is an open rooting bug in exactly that position". PerryTS#6991 is closed. It was fixed by PerryTS#7249 (64c1f56), which placed `populate_global_this_builtins` inside a `GcSuppressScope` — a runtime fix, not a codegen one. The gate has since been guarding against a bug that no longer exists, and the effect was that a shape proof in an entry body was made, counted as a win in the optimiser report, and then dropped at every access site. The `Entry` arm now derives all three flags from their knobs like any other body. module-level const, loop at module level 110.00 -> 88.99 (-19.1%) node is 14.50 on the same fixture, so this does not reach parity; roughly 36 instructions of entry-body cost remain and are not this gate. The same body placed inside a function is the control and correctly does not move. The nine real programs do not move, and the mechanism was checked rather than assumed: `--opt-report` module-init denial mentions are identical on both arms for all nine, because none of them has a `Ptr<Shape>` candidate in its entry body. `validate` and `resolve` do hold module-level const records, but they are read from inside functions, which globalizes them and puts them behind the separate storage limitation tracked as PerryTS#7109.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates packed array range-loop optimization, compound-assignment lowering, constant-key property folding, and entry-body pointer-shape selection. It adds runtime checks, compiler tests, integration tests, changelog entries, and supporting metadata.

Changes

Packed range-loop optimization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Compound-assignment types and folding `crates/perry-hir/...`, `crates/perry-codegen/...`	Compound-assignment temporaries preserve inferred local types. Eligible immutable compiler-generated aliases fold into expanded stores for guarded fast clones. Tests cover accepted shapes and decline conditions.
Range-loop matching and lowering `crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/loops.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/tests/...`, `scripts/...`	Range-loop admission accepts runtime-guardable erased arrays. Fast clones use folded bodies, while slow clones retain original bodies.
Array guard validation `crates/perry-runtime/src/array/...`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/typed_feedback.rs`	The runtime validates numeric layout over the loop window when the array-wide proof fails.

Constant-key property folding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Literal index rewrite `crates/perry-transform/src/module_const_fold.rs`, `changelog.d/10761-const-key-member-fold.md`	A second transform phase rewrites non-numeric string index reads into property reads.
Literal index behavior coverage `test-files/test_gap_10761_const_key_property_reads.ts`	Integration coverage compares constant-key, literal-key, and dot-property reads across object, array, accessor, proxy, receiver, and inline-cache cases.

Entry-body pointer-shape selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Entry representation gates `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/repsel_gates.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/slot_rep.rs`, `changelog.d/10769-entry-body-ptr-shape.md`	Entry contexts derive pointer-shape availability from the configured gate and no longer report the previous denial.
Entry pointer-shape validation `test-files/test_gap_10769_entry_body_ptr_shape.ts`	Tests cover allocation and safepoint cases, plus exclusions for reassigned, captured, and escaping locals.

Skip the array-wide rebuild for partial windows.

rebuild_array_numeric_raw_f64_allow_holes can scan [0, length) and clear both layout flags when it finds a nonnumeric slot. Therefore, a nonnumeric slot outside [min_idx, max_idx_exclusive) can make every loop admission repeat the full scan before scanning the requested window. Codegen emits one range guard per accessed array each time the loop is admitted, so repeated outer-loop entries can repeat this cost.

Keep the array-wide rebuild for a full live-array window. For partial windows, use the existing O(1) raw-f64-or-holes flag check first, then call array_window_is_numeric_raw_f64_allow_holes directly when no whole-array flag is present. The window helper preserves the classic loop contract: it canonicalizes numeric slots, accepts holes for the loop's hole checks, records no pointer-free layout claim, and leaves unexamined slots safe for GC tracing.

Landed via merge train 234 (#10786) as v0.5.1613 — afd77dbe30.

Your commits are on main unmodified (the train rebases, so SHAs changed; the trees did not). Closing because a train lands content rather than merging the source branch. All four of this chain landed together.

#10774's premise was verified independently rather than read from the comment, since the whole change rests on it: #6991 is CLOSED (2026-08-02), 64c1f56fb ("fix(gc): run the globalThis bootstrap in a no-move window (#7217) (#7249)") is an ancestor of main, and the GcSuppressScope it added is still at object/global_this/populate.rs:78 inside the exact function the gate cites. The gate was guarding a bug that no longer exists.

The boundary you identified is the useful part and it is preserved in the train body: a top-level binding read only at top level is not globalized, and this gate was its whole blocker; one read from inside a function globalizes it and it becomes #7109. That is why three fixtures move and the nine real programs do not — and you verified the mechanism (identical module-init denial mentions on both arms for all nine) rather than just reporting the zero.

Two representation-check flags worth knowing about, both correct absences rather than dropped work:

perf(runtime): hoist the plain-number arm in the string-coercion ladders — toString -19.3%, String(n) -14.2% (#10762) #10767, 15 lines — the dp <= 6 cliff, POW10: [u64; 7] and format!("{x:.1100}"). perf(runtime): remove the toFixed cliff at dp>=7 — 7125 to 633 instructions, and 21.2x on a money-shaped value (#10770) #10776 deletes them; superseded inside your own stack.
perf(runtime): remove the toFixed cliff at dp>=7 — 7125 to 633 instructions, and 21.2x on a money-shaped value (#10770) #10776, 4 lines — a gc_runtime_root_holders.json entry for crates/perry-stdlib/src/commander.rs. Train 233 removed that file an hour before this train assembled, so restoring the entry would have registered a root holder for a nonexistent file and reddened the holders gate.

Validation: nine cheap gates, cargo check --workspace --all-targets under -D warnings, all five pinned artifacts byte-identical before and after, six unit suites with an empty failing set, and a ten-area gap sweep weighted toward #10774's blast radius — gc_ 54, string 49, shape 22, property 18, numeric 15, number 10, tostring 8, template 4, const_ 4, fixed 1 — zero unexplained regressions.

		Separately, `a[i] += 1` cost 948 instructions per element, 3.7× the identical `a[i] = a[i] + 1`, and no annotation helped: the compound-assignment spill temporaries were minted as `Type::Any`, erasing the receiver's array-ness and the index's integer-ness before codegen saw the statement.

		Array read 87 → 13.5 (node 16.3), `a[i] += 1` 948 → 273, `a[i] += b[i]` 1025 → 347. A particle simulation over four numeric arrays spends 60.9% fewer instructions and 59% less peak RSS. The bare loop and both `Float64Array` paths are unchanged to the instruction.
