perf(runtime): remove the toFixed cliff at dp>=7 — 7125 to 633 instructions, and 21.2x on a money-shaped value (#10770) by proggeramlug · Pull Request #10776 · PerryTS/perry

proggeramlug · 2026-09-20T02:33:43Z

toFixed(6) cost 646 instructions; toFixed(7) cost 7,125 — a 10.7× jump for one more decimal place, while node and bun are flat across the whole range.

`(12.34).toFixed(8)`	12637.2	596.6	—	—	—	21.2×

Two causes, both a bound that had drifted from the thing it bounds

spec_to_fixed asked format!("{x:.1100}") on every input. 1100 is the smallest subnormal's worst case, so (6.0).toFixed(7) expanded 1100 decimal places through dragon4 and discarded 1093 of them. It now asks for the digits the value actually has.

POW10 was seven entries local to fmt_fixed_int, while the admission bound read dp <= 6 a hundred lines away as though it were an overflow limit. It is now POW10_FIXED at module scope with 20 entries, and the doc comment states that the table's length is the bound — one object rather than two constants that happen to agree.

dp 0–6 also gained 4–5%, because 10u64.pow(dp) became a table load.

An error I made and caught, because I wrote a money-shaped fixture

The first version additionally required the scaled product to be exact for dp > 6.

It was redundant: a hunt over 10,264,676 admitted probes found the pre-existing tie guard already catching 2,170,707 of them, and produced zero cases where exactness changed an answer. (The first run reported 680k "witnesses"; every one was a sign bug in my own JS model, not a real divergence.)

And it rejected the entire use case: money is not exactly representable, so (12.34).toFixed(8) was refused and stayed at 10,227 Ir/op while the benchmark's exactly-representable (k*1.5).toFixed(8) showed 649. A guard that admits the benchmark and rejects the motivating workload is precisely the failure mode this campaign keeps finding in other people's code, and it only surfaced because the fixture was money-shaped rather than benchmark-shaped.

Correctness

405,828 node-identical results — 26,660 from the general suite, 378,000 specifically targeting the newly admitted inexact-product population, plus the 1,168-line suite from #10767. Node identity on all four fixture suites unchanged from base.

Sabotage: four of five guards witnessed with named outputs.

guard	removing it
T1 exactness	34,488 diffs — `(1.005).toFixed(2)` → `"1.01"`
T3 magnitude bound	26,080 diffs
T4 pre-existing tie guard, now load-bearing across dp 0–19 rather than 0–6	8,758 diffs
T5 table length	the cliff returns, 645.6 → 2,704 — recorded as a performance witness, not a correctness one

T2 is unwitnessed, and it is unwitnessable rather than merely untested. The +1 in .max(dp + 1) only binds when the exact expansion is ≤ dp digits, and in that case everything past position dp is a zero, so no rounding can occur. It exists so that the frac_str[dp] index is provably in range rather than incidentally so. Kept deliberately; say so and it goes.

Real programs

text −1.21%, the other eight at zero — exactly as the attribution predicted, since every fixture in the four suites uses toFixed(2). Combined with #10767 that is text at roughly −2.1% across the two passes.

This was stated up front in #10770: the cliff moves no benchmark. It is worth fixing because toFixed(7) and beyond are currency, rates and coordinates, and a 10.7× regression triggered by editing a 2 to a 7 gets attributed to the wrong change every time.

Gates

perry-runtime 4074/0; perry-hir clean; cargo fmt clean; clippy 882 = 882 (it was 883 — a neg_cmp_op_on_partial_ord that the is_finite check above makes equivalent to >=; re-measured after changing it, performance unchanged). All three scripts clean. RSS between −3.95% and +0.20%. GC stress 48 runs / 0 failures with the guarded path byte-compared to node. manifest_consistency fails identically on base — pre-existing, verified last pass.

… 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

…e string-coercion ladders (PerryTS#10762) Four edits, all runtime, no codegen: `js_string_coerce` and `js_jsvalue_to_string_method` reached their plain-number arm last, through a seven-way jump table; `is_number()` is one range test and the exact complement of the arms it skips, so the number arm is hoisted ahead of them. `js_number_to_string`'s admission check forced LLVM to emit a 14-instruction saturating f64->u64 cast on a value already proven to be in 0..256, plus a redundant second bound check; the cheaper admission lets it emit a 4-instruction cast, and the cache-fill arm is outlined `#[cold]` so its inlined `format!` stops costing 15 instructions of prologue in the hit path. `format_number_into` gains a range-proven i32 arm. String(k%100) 190.0 -> 163.0 (-14.2%) n.toString() 536.3 -> 433.0 (-19.3%) `${n}` 433.3 -> 413.0 (-4.7%) String(k%1e6) 558.3 -> 540.3 (-3.2%) float 1146.6 -> 1136.6 (-0.9%) "" + n 264.5 -> 264.5 0.00% control (no conv) 82.0 -> 82.0 0.00% No row regresses. Both arms are flat within 2% across 20k->200k and 500k->5M. This does not reach parity with node or bun, and the remaining distance needs an ABI change rather than another pass: `"" + n` never allocates, because `js_string_concat_value_box` returns an f64 and packs a short result into SHORT_STRING_TAG, while the other three entry points are declared `-> *mut StringHeader` and must allocate a heap string for a three-byte result. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ

`toFixed(6)` cost 646 instructions and `toFixed(7)` cost 7,125 — a 10.7x jump for one more decimal place, while node and bun are flat across the range. Two causes, both of them a bound that had drifted from the thing it bounds: `spec_to_fixed` asked `format!("{x:.1100}")` on every input. 1100 is the smallest subnormal's worst case, so `(6.0).toFixed(7)` expanded 1100 decimal places through dragon4 and discarded 1093 of them. It now asks for the digits the value actually has. `POW10` was seven entries local to `fmt_fixed_int`, while the admission bound read `dp <= 6` a hundred lines away as though it were an overflow limit. It is now `POW10_FIXED` at module scope with 20 entries, and the doc comment states that the table's length *is* the bound — they are the same object rather than two constants that happen to agree. dp 0 524.2 -> 520.2 dp 2 592.6 -> 564.6 dp 6 646.0 -> 620.9 dp 7 7125.4 -> 633.1 dp 8 7159.1 -> 645.6 (12.34).toFixed(8) 12637.2 -> 596.6 (21.2x) node is 905-954 and bun 1016-1108 across the same range, so every row is now a win where dp >= 7 was a 7.5x loss. dp 0-6 also gained 4-5% because `10u64.pow(dp)` became a table load. 405,828 node-identical results across the fixture set, including 378,000 targeting the newly admitted inexact-product population.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR optimizes packed-f64 range loops, compound-assignment lowering, array window validation, numeric string conversion, and toFixed formatting. It adds regression tests and changelog entries for these changes.

Changes

Packed-f64 range loops

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Compound-assignment temporary types `crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_assign.rs`, `crates/perry-hir/src/lower/compound_assign_temp_type_tests.rs`, `crates/perry-hir/src/lower/mod.rs`	Compound-assignment spill temporaries copy types from local bindings. Tests cover typed arrays, untyped arrays, non-local bases, and string arrays.
Range-loop matching and fast-body lowering `crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/loops.rs`, `scripts/local_binding_type_allowlist.json`	The matcher folds compiler-generated aliases, admits guardable untyped arrays, and lowers the folded body only in guarded fast clones. Slow clones retain the original body.
Windowed numeric validation `crates/perry-runtime/src/array/header.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/array/mod.rs`	The runtime validates and canonicalizes only the array window used by a range loop when full-array validation fails.
Range-loop regression coverage `crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/compound_alias_fold_tests.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/tests/native_proof_regressions.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/barrier_stem_census_tests.rs`, `changelog.d/10718-array-index-hoist.md`, `changelog.d/10718-array-store-hoist.md`, `changelog.d/10743-compound-assign-alias-fold.md`, `crates/perry/src/commands/compile/build_cache.rs`	Tests cover alias-fold acceptance and rejection, untyped array admission, slow-clone behavior, and the census probe. Changelog and cache-trace documentation records the changes.

Number and fixed-point formatting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Numeric string conversion fast paths `crates/perry-runtime/src/builtins/numbers.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/value/to_string.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/string/concat.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/string/format.rs`, `changelog.d/10762-number-to-string-ladders.md`	Plain numbers use direct conversion paths. Small-integer cache access and integer formatting use dedicated fast paths.
toFixed precision and cache expansion `crates/perry-runtime/src/string/format.rs`, `scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json`, `changelog.d/10770-tofixed-cliff.md`	`toFixed` uses the module-scoped `POW10_FIXED` table through precision 19 when range and exactness checks pass. Fallback formatting derives the required fractional precision.

Require every alias ID to occur in the original final expression before folding.

A user binding can use the __cmpd_ prefix. Its immutable initializer can contain object + 0, which the stable initializer grammar accepts. If that binding is unused by the final indexed store, the fold drops its initializer. The fast clone then omits the object coercion that the slow clone still evaluates. The current occurrence check runs after substitution, so it cannot distinguish a used alias from an unused alias.

Proposed minimum fix

let [Stmt::Expr(expr)] = last else { return None; }; + if !map + .keys() + .all(|id| packed_f64_range_loop_expr_touches_local(expr, *id)) + { + return None; + } let mut folded = expr.clone();

Reject half ties that round to an integer during scaling.

Line 404 admits scaled products up to 2^53. Above 2^52, the f64 spacing is 1. An exact k + 0.5 product can therefore round to the even integer before the fractional-part check at Line 493.

For example, (450359962.73828125).toFixed(7) has the exact scaled value 4503599627382812.5. The multiplication rounds it down to the even integer. This path returns "450359962.7382812" instead of "450359962.7382813".

Use the FMA residual to reject these hidden half ties, or limit admission to products below 2^52.

Proposed residual guard

let scaled_raw = value * s; +if scaled_raw.abs() >= 4_503_599_627_370_496.0 + && value.mul_add(s, -scaled_raw).abs() == 0.5 +{ + return None; +} let frac = scaled_raw - scaled_raw.floor();

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.
