A read the compiler knows the class of (`this.a` in a method, `p.a` on a parameter declared as the class) paid more guard than the generic IC for the same read: 23 instructions on its x86-64 hit path against the generic route's 13. It spent 11 on a flat tag+handle predicate (two setcc and a test) and 4 on a GcHeader word mask re-testing the GC kind, the forwarded flag and the descriptor and tombstone flags, before its (class id, ShapeId) compare. The read now has its own guard, `emit_class_field_read_precheck`: * the receiver test is one biased unsigned compare, `bits - (POINTER_TAG | 0x100000) < 2^48 - 0x100000`, which is exactly "POINTER tag and above the handle band" (unit test at every boundary), and the handle it yields folds into the load displacements; * a boxed field compares ONLY the ShapeId word against the poisonable per-class expectation. The key list fixes the slot, so the class id is not needed; * a raw-f64 field keeps the (class id, ShapeId) compare and the per-object typed-layout intact bit. Neither is carried by the shape: classes with the same key list share the ShapeId, and a downgrade clears the bit without a shape transition. The dropped header predicates follow from a matching ShapeId, on the same arguments the generic IC already relies on: GC kind by rule 3 (#10828), no descriptor by rule 1 (#10824), no tombstone by #10826, and not forwarded because a forwarded cell's +4 word is the high half of its new address. The write guard keeps the full header test, because frozen and the packed numeric proof are per-object facts. Hit path on x86-64: boxed 23 -> 11 instructions, raw-f64 23 -> 16. The generic route is 13.
…the generic IC When a declared class has a subclass that no guard arm covers, instances of that subclass fail the class-field guard on every read and pay a `js_class_field_get_ic` call. This happens when the hierarchy is wider than the 8-arm cap, or when a subclass shadows the field or declares it at another representation. In a base-class method of a wide hierarchy that is every read. In Zod 3.23, where `ZodType` has 36 subclasses, 17,400 of the 27,800 executed class-field reads per 200 schema parses took that call. Such a site now lowers through the generic IC. Its per-site word learns the ShapeId the site actually sees, and its ways serve the next few. A read whose arms cover every subclass keeps the class route. The test asserts both halves: one armed subclass keeps the route and nine overflow it.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new class-field read path is faster, but in the numeric-context lowering, a receiver that fails the inline check and then passes the runtime guard is read through an invalid address. This can crash compiled programs. Recomputing the masked handle in the shared fast block is a one-line fix and should land before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Recompute the receiver handle in the shared fast block.
emit_class_field_read_precheck derives obj_handle only for its tagged-pointer range-hit path. js_typed_feedback_class_field_get_guard can accept a valid top-word-zero raw object address, because normalize_raw_object_addr preserves it and the class/shape contract validates that address. Its guard-pass edge then enters this same fast block with the invalid derived handle, so the load can dereference a non-canonical address.
Compute the masked handle in the fast block so both predecessors use the receiver's low 48-bit address.

The write guard is now the read guard (#11161) plus the two facts a store needs that no ShapeId carries: the receiver range check is one biased compare, then ONE ShapeId compare (the (class id, ShapeId) pair for a raw-f64 field), then one _reserved half-word test for the Array-subclass numeric proof (and the typed-layout intact bit for a raw-f64 field). The GC-kind, forwarded, descriptor, tombstone and frozen tests are gone: a matching ShapeId proves each (rules 1-3, #10826, and integrity changes mint a fresh semantic generation). A site whose subclasses the guard cannot name (the hierarchy is wider than the arm cap, or a subclass moves the field) failed the guard on every store and paid the guard call and js_class_field_set_fallback behind it: on Zod 3.23, 24,600 of 77,200 executed class-field stores. It now takes the generic static-key store, as #11161 did for reads. A ptr-shape-proven receiver and a raw-f64 field keep the class route.

When the compiler knows the class of a read (
this.ain a method), perry used a class-field guard that cost more than the generic inline cache: 23 instructions against 13. It re-checked facts the shape already guarantees.Change
emit_class_field_read_precheck(expr/class_field_inline_guard.rs); the write guard is unchanged, because frozen state and the packed-numeric proof are per-object facts. Three callers use it:property_get.rs,property_get/helpers.rs,lower_call/method_override.rs.bits - 0x7FFD000000100000 < 0xFFFFFFF00000(pointer tag and above the handle band), replaces an 11-instruction predicate. A unit test covers every tag and band boundary.numberfield (raw double): keeps the (class id, ShapeId) compare and the typed-layout intact bit. Only the redundant header-word test is removed.Each dropped check is implied by the shape, by the same rules the generic route already relies on:
deletea shape transition, not a stable tombstone #10826. A delete is a shape transition.Hit path (x86-64,
getA() { return this.a })numberfieldMeasured (instructions per iteration, 1M vs 5M slope, output identical to node)
ops4 is unchanged.
Zod, route census (scratch counters, not shipped), per 200 iterations:
Zod's whole-program instruction count moves ±1% even for an unrelated binary change (noise control included), so it can't resolve this change. Per-symbol, the parts this change owns improved: compiled code −3.4%, the class-field and IC miss helpers −11%.
tsc: −0.29% median over 5 interleaved rounds, within noise. tsc has almost no reads on this route.
Tests

uncovered_subclass_routes_the_read_to_the_generic_icis red with the routing reverted, green with it.The receiver-range unit test.
The kept class-id and intact-bit checks could not be turned red by a sabotage: every consumer tried still printed node's answer. They are kept on the soundness argument; no failing test backs them.
