Two changes that belong together: the JIT's arithmetic stops giving answers the
interpreter would not give, and a new aot feature compiles eligible functions
on their first call.

The second is only safe because of the first. __jit__() was opt-in, so its
wrong answers and its SIGILLs were the caller's problem. Compiling
automatically makes them everyone's.

Deoptimization instead of trapping or wrapping

Every arithmetic operation that could leave the machine's 64-bit world now
tests its own precondition before it computes. When the test fails the
compiled code writes the live locals and the value stack into a buffer the
caller passed in, and returns. The interpreter rebuilds the frame from that
record and re-executes the instruction that owns the guard, from its start —
so the bignum, the exception, or the complex number comes from the interpreter,
which is the only thing that knows how to produce it.

The record is a flat buffer: slot 0 is the status (0 = returned normally,
otherwise it identifies the guard that fired), slot 1 is the bound mask, and
slots 2 and up are the listed locals in varname order followed by the value
stack. Guards whose site cannot describe every local that could be bound there
return
Outcome::Restart instead, and the interpreter runs the function from the top.

Guarded: +, -, unary -, *, //, %, **, <<, >>, /, and float
/ and **. The masks are tight rather than conservative — integer ** is
square-and-multiply and computes products it then discards, so each
multiplication's guard is masked with the condition under which its product is
actually read; guarding on the bare overflow flag would deoptimize 2 ** 33.

What that fixes

before after
1e100 ** 1e50 under __jit__() SIGILL, process death OverflowError
2 ** -2 0 0.25
(1 << 62) * 4 wrapped the bignum
1.0 / 0.0 a float infinity ZeroDivisionError
(-8.0) ** 0.5 a float complex
-x at -2**63 wrapped the bignum
sys.settrace over a compiled call no events the full event list

extra_tests/snippets/jit.py runs the whole table by exec'ing a fresh pair of
functions per case, JIT-compiling one, and comparing value, exception type, and
result type.

The aot feature

Off unless built with --features aot, and then -X aot=0 or
RUSTPYTHON_AOT=0 turns it off again. Default builds are untouched.

With it on, a function whose parameters and return are annotated int, float
or bool is compiled on its first call. A pre-filter rejects what the compiler
cannot lower before any compilation is attempted; compile() re-checks
independently rather than trusting it.

The automatic path is strict where the explicit one is permissive: it refuses
to compile a self-call into a direct call, because the interpreter re-reads the
global on every call and a name rebound later — a decorator, a test patch —
would make the compiled call disagree.

Calls are interpreted, not compiled, while a tracer or a sys.monitoring tool
is installed, so debugging and profiling see every event they would see
without the feature.

Verification

  • cargo test -p rustpython-jit — 119 tests
  • extra_tests/snippets/jit.py, and aot.py under -X aot=1 and -X aot=0,
    both added to the Linux CI job
  • a differential fuzzer on the automatic path: 2,000 generated functions,
    14,000 comparisons against the interpreter, 0 divergences

Known limitations

  • No safepoint at a backward jump. A compiled loop does not observe
    SIGINT until it returns. An eval-breaker check on every backward jump costs
    the hot path; excluding backward jumps from the pre-filter gives up loops,
    which are the point. Left as-is deliberately, not overlooked.
  • Control-flow merges reached with a non-empty stack are refused. The
    compiler does not reconcile its abstract value stack at a merge, so a
    conditional expression used inside a larger expression is not compiled at
    all. This is a stopgap for a latent wrong-answer bug that predates this
    branch — (a if b else c) + (b if c else a) on (1, 2, 3) compiled to 5
    where the interpreter and CPython both say 3. Proper reconciliation
    (snapshot the stack at first arrival, pass the entries as block parameters)
    is follow-up work. Statement-level if, if/else and while are
    unaffected, and the rule costs nothing measurable: the 24-function numeric
    corpus and every function the automatic path attempts at startup behave
    identically with and without it.
  • Little real stdlib code qualifies yet. The annotations the automatic path
    needs are rare; across 24 stdlib modules it attempts 1,156 compiles and
    completes none. LOAD_ATTR is the biggest single blocker.

Two interpreter bugs found in passing, not fixed here

0 / -1 gives 0.0 where CPython gives -0.0, and 0.0 ** -0.0 raises
ZeroDivisionError where CPython gives 1.0. CPython agrees with the compiled
code on both.

Every commit carries an Assisted-by: Claude trailer — the branch was written
with Claude Code and reviewed per task and then as a whole.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation for eligible functions.
    • AOT can be enabled with -X aot or RUSTPYTHON_AOT.
    • Added _jit status and compilation statistics for runtime inspection.
  • Bug Fixes
    • JIT execution now safely falls back to the interpreter for overflow, invalid shifts, division errors, and unsupported power operations.
    • Improved preservation of locals, stack state, tracebacks, and line-number reporting during fallback.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for AOT compilation, deoptimization, safety modes, arithmetic edge cases, tracing, and recursive calls.

`compile` built a fresh `JITModule` per function and handed its ownership
to `CompiledCode`, which freed the module on drop. Introduce `JitEngine`,
which holds one module behind a mutex and hands out `CompiledCode` values
that keep the engine alive through an `Arc`; the module memory is freed in
`JitEngine::drop`. The free `compile` function stays as a wrapper over a
single-use engine.

Sharing the module surfaced two states that a per-function module could
not reach:

- Symbol names came from `obj_name`, which repeats across functions and
  collided as `Duplicate definition`. Names now carry a per-engine counter.
- A rejected function left the codegen context populated and the
  `FunctionBuilderContext` un-finalized, so the next `FunctionBuilder::new`
  panicked. `build_function` now clears the codegen context on every path
  and replaces the builder context when compilation fails.

Compiled arithmetic does not always answer the way the interpreter does:

- Integer `+`, `-` and unary `-` trap on overflow, `//`, `%` and `/` trap
  on a zero divisor, and `<<`/`>>` trap on a negative count. Nothing
  installs a trap handler, so each of these aborts the process where the
  interpreter would widen to a big integer or raise.
- Integer `*` is a bare `imul` and wraps silently.
- Float `/` is a bare `fdiv`, returning inf instead of raising
  ZeroDivisionError, and float `**` neither raises for `0.0 ** -1.0` nor
  produces the complex result Python gives for a negative base.

`Safety::Strict` rejects those; `Safety::Permissive` keeps compiling them
and stays the behaviour of the free `compile` function and of `__jit__`.
Integer bitwise operations, comparisons, float `+ - *`, and int-to-float
mixed `+ - *` are faithful and remain available under Strict.

Rejection tests assert that Permissive compiles the same source, so they
cannot pass on an unrelated compile failure.

Assisted-by: Claude
A caller that compiles without being asked needs to rule out hopeless code
objects before paying for annotation lookup and codegen setup.
`supports_code` makes one pass over the bytecode and rejects the shapes the
compiler has no lowering for: varargs, generators and coroutines, a
non-empty exception table, cells and frees, and any unsupported opcode.

The opcode predicate mirrors the match in `add_instruction` and only has to
be right in one direction, which the doc comment records: a wrong "yes"
wastes a compile attempt and a wrong "no" costs an optimization, and
neither produces wrong code.

Assisted-by: Claude
`__jit__()` had to be called by hand. Under the new `aot` feature every
function gets one automatic compile attempt the first time it is called,
and `__jit__()` stays available.

Automatic compilation answers to different rules than a requested one, so
it is a separate path:

- It compiles with `Safety::Strict`, which turns down anything that can
  trap or wrap. `__jit__()` still compiles permissively and still raises
  `JitError` when it cannot; `__jit__(force=True)` compiles again over
  code a function already has, and retries one the automatic path turned
  down.
- Failure is silent. Reading `__annotations__` runs `__annotate__`, which
  is Python code that can raise, so the attempt is made only after
  `supports_code` has ruled out the shapes with no compiled form, and the
  function claims itself before evaluating anything that can call back
  into it.
- A function whose arguments do not fit its compiled signature is handed
  back to the interpreter on the first mismatch instead of retrying the
  conversion on every call. Only automatically compiled code is handed
  back; `__jit__()` is a standing request.

Call state moves from the `jitted_code` mutex to a `jit_state` atomic, so
the per-call check is a relaxed load rather than a lock. The frame's
specialization sites ask `requires_jit_entry`, which also yields for a
function that has not had its attempt yet - otherwise a specialized call
would skip the entry point where compilation happens. The bytecode
pre-filter verdict is cached on the code object, so it runs once no matter
how many functions are built from it.

The engine now lives on `PyGlobalState`, so one module holds the code for
the whole interpreter instead of one per function.

`-X aot=0|1` and `RUSTPYTHON_AOT=0|1` toggle it; the feature sets the
default. `sys._jit.is_available()` and `is_enabled()` now report the truth
instead of a `false` stub, and `sys._jit._stats()` returns
`(compiled, rejected, deoptimized)`.

Assisted-by: Claude
`LoadGlobal` resolves the one global it accepts - the function itself - by
comparing names. The interpreter reads the globals dict on every call, so
once the name is rebound the two disagree about what runs: a decorator
applied after the definition, or a test patching the module, and the
compiled code keeps calling its old self.

Strict now turns down `LoadGlobal`, which costs it self-recursion.
`__jit__()` compiles permissively and is unchanged.

The snippet asserts a rebound name is observable through a recursive
function, so loosening this without a real guard fails the test.

Assisted-by: Claude
Automatic compilation is only correct if it changes nothing, so the
snippet has to pass identically with `-X aot=1` and `-X aot=0`. Also runs
the existing jit snippet against the same build.

Assisted-by: Claude
Automatic compilation reads `__annotations__`, which under PEP 649 runs
`__annotate__` - Python code that can raise. Discarding every error along
with the compile attempt also discarded a KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit
that happened to land there, losing a signal the program was owed.

Errors that are `Exception` subclasses stay discarded, since a forward
reference raising NameError is no business of a compile attempt nobody
asked for. Anything else propagates.

The snippet covers both: a forward reference leaves the function
interpreted and its annotations still unresolved, and a BaseException from
an annotation expression reaches the caller.

Assisted-by: Claude
Every snippet also runs under CPython, which has its own `sys._jit`. On a
CPython built with its JIT enabled, `is_enabled()` is true and the checks
below it would reach for `_stats`, which only RustPython has. Gate on both.

Assisted-by: Claude
`invoke_raw` called `JitSig::to_cif` on every invocation, rebuilding the
libffi description of the signature - and the allocation behind it - for
each call. Build it when the function is compiled and keep it in
`CompiledCode`.

Assisted-by: Claude
Turning down the self-call under Strict left two branches with identical
bodies. State the one condition that admits a self-call instead.

Assisted-by: Claude
Every compiled function now gets a second entry point compiled alongside
it, taking a flat buffer of 64-bit slots and unpacking them into the
parameters the body takes. Calling it is an indirect call to a plain
function pointer, so the three per-call allocations and the libffi
dependency are gone, along with the union used to read the result back.

Arguments travel in a fixed-size array, so a function with more than 16
parameters is now rejected instead of compiled.

Assisted-by: Claude
Hold `defaults_and_kwdefaults` across the argument fill instead of
cloning the pair on every call; filling a slot from a default reads the
object but never runs Python code.

Import `Arc` from `alloc` and name the `AbiValue` variants through
`Self`, both of which clippy only reports when the jit feature is on.

Assisted-by: Claude
The interpreter loop updated `prev_line` from the locations table on
every instruction so that `f_lineno` could read it. `lasti` is already
advanced past the instruction being executed before that instruction
runs, so `locations[lasti - 1]` is its line; `f_lineno` now reads the
live `lasti` and looks the line up on demand.

That leaves `prev_line` carrying only the line a LINE event last fired
at, so the updates the instrumented paths made for `f_lineno` are gone
as well.

Assisted-by: Claude
The entry point takes a third pointer, zeroes its status slot, and hands
it to the body as the body's first parameter. Recursive calls forward it,
and pass their arguments the right way round.

`invoke` now returns an `Outcome` of a normal return or a `DeoptState`;
nothing writes a non-zero status yet, so the deopt arm is unreachable.

The interpreter answers a deopt by dropping the compiled code and running
the call again from the start, whether the code was compiled on its own or
on request.

Assisted-by: Claude
A site records the resume offset, the type of every live local, and one
entry per value-stack slot; the guard writes their values, a bound mask,
and the site index into the deopt buffer, then leaves through a shared
exit block. A stack entry that is the same on every path reaching the
site - the callable a self-call pushes, and the null beside it - is
described by the site instead of occupying a slot.

Integer addition is the first operation to use it: it hands its operands
back where the sum stops fitting in 64 bits, instead of trapping. The
jit snippet covers that case, so the fallback to interpreting the call
is exercised by the test suite.

A self-call shares the caller's buffer, so after one the caller checks
the status and leaves through the same exit when a nested frame gave up,
rather than computing on the filler that frame returned. It leaves the
nested frame's record standing.

Assisted-by: Claude
Subtraction, multiplication, negation and the shifts hand the operands
back to the interpreter where the answer stops fitting in 64 bits, where
a shift count is out of range, or where a left shift loses bits.

Assisted-by: Claude
The bit index is the varname slot, including slots whose entry is
unlisted, not the position among listed locals.

sdiv rounds toward zero and srem takes the dividend's sign; both are
corrected on the condition they disagree. A zero divisor, i64::MIN // -1,
and a true division whose operands do not fit a double's significand
deoptimize.

Assisted-by: Claude
srem duplicated the sdiv the quotient already computed: cranelift keeps a
trapping division live even when its result goes unused, so a % b cost two
hardware divisions where one suffices. Replaced it with a - quotient * b,
which cannot overflow because the quotient truncates toward zero.

Also: tested the wide-operand guard's divisor half (only the dividend side
had a test), pinned i64::MIN // 1, i64::MIN // 3 and their remainders,
tested that the shared guard deopts i64::MIN % -1 too, corrected the
basic_div comment's threshold, renamed the true-division closure to avoid
colliding with compile_floor_div's local of the same name, and corrected
the comment justifying the quotient correction's overflow safety.

Integer exponentiation stops answering 0 for a negative exponent and
guards every multiplication in its loop. Float division and float
exponentiation deoptimize where the interpreter raises or returns a
complex number.

Assisted-by: Claude
compile_fpow was neither trap-free nor interpreter-faithful. A
large-magnitude exponent made dd_exp round b * ln|a| to an i64 outside
range, and fcvt_to_sint traps there with no handler - 2.0 ** 1e300 and
similar killed the process. A finite base whose power overflowed a
double returned an infinity instead of raising OverflowError. An
infinite or NaN exponent answered on b alone, ignoring the base, so
several pairs returned a value the interpreter would not. A negative
zero base lost its sign in the zero-base fast path.

Three guards close these, all before compile_fpow's normal blocks or
after its merge, deoptimizing rather than computing a wrong answer:
bounding |b| under 1024 (bounding the product dd_exp rounds, and
written as the negation of an ordered LessThan so an unordered NaN
exponent deopts too), a negative-zero base check by bit pattern, and a
post-merge check that a finite base never produces an infinite result.
With the fractional-exponent guard already excluding non-integral
exponents for a negative base, the two now-unreachable domain-error
branches in compile_fpow are removed.

In compile_ipow, the result multiply's overflow no longer needs
masking by the exponent's low bit: continue_block only runs with
exp != 0, so a clear low bit still forces exp >= 2, and an overflowing
result * base with |base| >= 2 means result * base^exp overflows too,
so a later guard always catches it; with |base| <= 1 the product
cannot overflow at all. The squaring's mask stays, since dropping it
does deopt answers that fit an i64.

The mixed int/float arm's operands array, used only by TrueDivide and
Power, is now built lazily rather than for every arithmetic op. The
mixed-arm zero-divisor test gained -0.0 coverage to match the
float/float test.

Assisted-by: Claude
An old comment in float_tests.rs documented this case as crashing with
an illegal hardware instruction and commented it out rather than fixing
it; the out-of-range-exponent guard added in the previous commit closes
it. Moved it into float_power_deopts_on_an_out_of_range_exponent instead
of leaving it disabled. The expected value the old comment recorded
(1.0000000000000002e+150) was wrong regardless - the true result
overflows a double, which is why the interpreter raises.

…ent bound

The |b| < 1024 guard already deopts any NaN or infinite exponent, which
made Edge Cases 2, 5, and 6 (b is NaN, b == +infinity, b == -infinity)
dead code - the same situation as the domain-error blocks removed
earlier for a negative base. Removed all three blocks along with their
brif splits, leaving the fall-through chain from Edge Case 1 through
Edge Case 8 contiguous.

Pinned nan ** 2.0 in float_tests.rs::basic_power to confirm Edge Case 4
(a is NaN) still answers, since only the exponent is bounded, not the
base. Added a removal note next to (-infinity) ** (-infinity), which
was missing one from the previous commit.

Assisted-by: Claude
Every arithmetic rejection existed because the machine code could trap or
wrap. Both are guarded, so Strict and Permissive now differ only in
whether a self-call may be compiled into a direct call.

Assisted-by: Claude
crates/jit/tests/float_tests.rs's basic_power test used a relative-epsilon
comparison that absorbed a bug in the double-double ln/exp implementation:
compiled float ** lost whole significant digits on a base far from 1
(1023.0 ** 1.0 answered 1022.9277018310074), had no underflow check in
dd_exp so an underflowing result came back as a wrong-signed number of the
wrong magnitude, and an infinite base with a negative exponent answered
+/-inf instead of +/-0.0.

compile_fpow now keeps only the two guards that mirror float_pow's special
cases - zero base with a negative-sign exponent, and a negative-sign base
with a fractional exponent, both read by sign bit rather than by value so a
-0.0 operand is caught the same as a negative one - then calls the same
f64::powf the interpreter calls through an explicit symbol (jit_powf,
registered on the JITBuilder and imported per compiled function) rather
than leaving the JIT to resolve pow through the platform's libm. A guard
after the call catches a finite-operand result that overflowed to infinity,
which raises OverflowError rather than saturating. This removes DDValue and
every dd_* helper (dd_from_f64, dd_from_value, dd_from_parts, dd_to_f64,
dd_neg, dd_add, dd_sub, dd_mul, dd_mul_f64, dd_scale, dd_ln_1p_series,
dd_ln, dd_exp), and the |b| < 1024 exponent bound and negative-zero-base
guard added in an earlier round, both now subsumed by powf's own behavior
and the guards above.

float_tests.rs's basic_power switches from assert_approx_eq! to
assert_bits_eq! throughout, since a call to f64::powf is exact by
construction; four cases that used to be commented out as wrong or
crashing now return the interpreter's exact answer. A new
float_power_matches_far_from_one test sweeps 24 (base, exponent) pairs at
magnitudes far from 1, 20 of which return and 4 of which overflow to
infinity and deoptimize. deopt_tests.rs's float power tests are updated for
the new guard shapes: the zero-base and negative-base tests now also cover
a -0.0 operand, float_power_deopts_on_finite_base_overflow gains the
overflow cases that used to deopt on the removed exponent bound (including
the historical 1e100 ** 1e50 crash case), and the tests for the removed
exponent bound, NaN exponent, and negative-zero base are gone since those
inputs now return rather than deopt.

Also: extra_tests/snippets/aot.py's comment on the automatic-compile count
is corrected (scale, wide, divide, and the rebound countdown, not just
scale); the Safety doc comment in lib.rs now says Strict rejects the whole
function containing a self-call rather than just the call; and
safety_tests.rs's assert_strict_deopts! macro gains an optional good-input
case, used by strict_compiles_int_add, so a regression to an unconditional
deopt cannot leave every test in the file green.

…se the stat floors

A deopt discards a PyFunction's compiled code and leaves it permanently
interpreted, so the third wide() assertion never touched compiled code
after the second one deopted (measured: compiled +0, deopt +0). Moved it
to a new wide2() so it gets its own compile attempt.

The compiled/deoptimized floors at the bottom were both already met
before Strict was allowed to compile arithmetic, so they could not have
caught that gate regressing. Raised them to what this file's current
functions actually produce (compiled >= 5, deoptimized >= 4); left
rejected as a loose floor since it moves with the binary's feature set.

Assisted-by: Claude
A guard that fires discards the compiled code and hands its record to a
fresh frame: the locals as the guard saw them, the operands already on
the stack, and the offset of the instruction to re-execute. The callable
and the null a call leaves beside it take no slot in the record and are
rebuilt from the site's description, which needs LocalsPlus to be able to
push a null.

Two shapes have no record this frame can use, and both now reach the VM
as a third Outcome variant that runs the call again from the start.

A self-recursive function shares one deopt buffer down the whole
recursion, so a caller leaving because a nested frame gave up used to
read that frame's site index; decoded against the same function's site
table every type lined up, and resuming would have continued the
outermost frame from the deepest frame's offset. The check after a
self-call now overwrites the status with a sentinel.

A site lists the locals the compiler had seen where the guard was
lowered, which a backward jump can leave short of what is bound where it
fires. Sites are compared against the function's final set at the end of
compilation, and only where a backward jump was lowered - without one,
execution reaches a guard only by way of offsets below it. Such a local
is never read back after a resume, because a read the compiler cannot
prove bound is a LOAD_FAST_CHECK and no function containing one compiles
at all, but it stays visible through f_locals on a traceback frame.

a_caller_stops_when_a_nested_frame_gives_up asserted the inner frame's
record for both blow(1) and blow(2); the second is now the restart.

Assisted-by: Claude
A local a site cannot describe is missing from the resumed frame, where
anything reading its fastlocals other than a LOAD_FAST sees it go -
f_locals, a tracer stepping the frame, a debugger stopped in it. The
comments named only the traceback the snippet happens to read it out of.

The snippet also now says why it goes through a traceback at all: the
obvious `return total + extra` cannot fail, because a read the compiler
cannot prove bound compiles to LOAD_FAST_CHECK, which has no lowering,
so no function observing the drop that way compiles.

Also drops the line reference from aot.py's comment on the stat floors,
which pointed at the self-recursive countdown that is refused rather
than the rebound one that compiles, and moves with every edit to the
file.

Assisted-by: Claude
The buffer-ABI block described slot 0 as either zero or a site index plus
one; a frame that leaves with no record of its own writes a third value.

Safety::Permissive scoped its trust to "for as long as the compiled code
runs", which a frame resumed from a guard outlives. It now states the
contract: the callee is resolved once, when the code is compiled, and a
resumed frame keeps that resolution, so rebinding the name is not
observed by a call the compiled code had already staged. Rebinding
between two whole calls is still observed, because a guard discards the
code.

Also records why making a callee-bearing site non-resumable is the worse
fix: restarting re-runs self-calls that already returned, and those run
arbitrary Python.

…does

Every guarded operation is checked against the same source run
interpreted, including the cases that used to answer wrongly or take the
process down. fib_iter(95) is the regression: it overflows partway
through and now finishes in the interpreter.

fib_iter(80) stays inside 64 bits, so aot=1 runs the compiled loop to
completion instead of deoptimizing. 20000 calls, min of 3 runs each, on
a shared machine under sustained unrelated load (multiple rustc
processes from other sessions, load average 80-100 across 109 users)
that did not clear:

  compiled (aot=1): 0.0042-0.0053s, stable across two independent runs
  interpreted (aot=0): 0.395-1.92s, varying by ~5x with the contention

The compiled figure is a real measurement. The interpreted figure is
contention-dominated and is a ceiling on the true interpreted time, not
a measurement of it - the two lowest readings taken (0.395s and
1.065s) both come from the same noisy baseline, not from two different
speeds. So the speedup is at least two orders of magnitude on this
shape; the exact multiple is not measurable on this machine right now.

Assisted-by: Claude
The check() table had no row for binary a + b or a - b. Add's overflow
case was only reached incidentally through fib_iter, whose shape could
change without anyone noticing the coverage went with it. Subtract had
no Python-level coverage at all: Subtract's own arm calls
compile_sub(a, b, ...) in call-site order, and UnaryNegative reaches
the same helper through a separate arm with different operand order
and arity, so NEG's existing coverage does not stand in for it.

Assisted-by: Claude
The abstract value stack is not reconciled where control flow merges.
A merged block kept whichever predecessor's operands were lowered last,
and its entries are per-path SSA values, so a merge reached with
operands live produced a wrong answer rather than a rejection:

    def g(a, b):
        return (a if b else b) + (b if a else a)

    g(1, 2) returned 5 compiled and 3 interpreted.

Every edge into a merge now has to arrive with the stack empty, which
is what a statement-level `if`, `if`/`else` or `while` has, and what a
conditional expression or a short-circuit operator does not.
`supports_code` simulates the same depth so the automatic path stops
before the backend rather than inside it.

Assisted-by: Claude
The record's stack was pushed onto a fresh frame slot by slot with no
bound check. A stack longer than the code object's `max_stackdepth`
runs off the end of the frame, where `push_stack_opt` panics rather
than raising, so an ill-formed record aborted the process.

The record's local count, stack depth and resume offset are now
measured against the code object. A record that does not fit is
discarded and the call runs from the start instead.

Assisted-by: Claude
Compiled code runs no frame, so a compiled function reported no call,
no line and no return: `sys.settrace`, `sys.setprofile` and
`sys.monitoring` all observed nothing for it.

The compiled entry now tests `use_tracing` and the monitoring event
mask before it is taken, and the call falls through to the interpreter
while either is set. The function is left compiled, so it is used
again once the tracer is removed.

Every other build step in the job passes `--locked`. Without it this

`supports_code` detected a branch with `code.label_targets()` and
`Instruction::label_arg`. Neither answers the question: a jump argument
is a delta, `label_targets` collects that delta rather than the offset
it points at, and `label_arg` reported `None` for the conditional jumps
here. Both halves of the merge clause were therefore dead, and the
pre-filter passed every mid-expression merge on to the backend, which
rejected it.

The walk now resolves targets with `instruction_target`, the function
the compiler resolves them with, over the same de-specialized stream
the compiler consumes. `instruction_target` and the two `jump_target_*`
helpers move out of `FunctionCompiler` to be reachable from here.

A jump's outgoing edge is checked after the instruction's stack effect
rather than before, since a conditional jump has popped the condition
it tested by the time control leaves it - which is the depth the
compiler checks, and what a `while` loop's `POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE` needs to
pass.

Assisted-by: Claude
`branches_and_loops_are_supported` covers the shapes the merge clause
has to keep accepting; nothing covered the shapes it has to reject, so
the clause could stop firing with every test still passing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The JIT now uses a fixed slot-buffer ABI and deoptimizes unsupported runtime cases into interpreter frames. RustPython adds automatic AOT compilation, strict and permissive safety modes, AOT settings and statistics, updated frame handling, and expanded JIT and AOT tests.

Changes

JIT runtime and compiler

Layer / File(s) Summary
JIT runtime ABI and engine
crates/jit/src/lib.rs, crates/jit/tests/common.rs, crates/jit/tests/engine_tests.rs, crates/jit/tests/misc_tests.rs
The JIT replaces libffi calls with fixed 64-bit slots. JitEngine owns compiled code. Invocation returns Outcome, including decoded deoptimization state and restart status.
Compiler guards and deoptimization lowering
crates/jit/src/instructions.rs, crates/jit/tests/deopt_tests.rs, crates/jit/tests/safety_tests.rs, crates/jit/tests/support_tests.rs, crates/jit/tests/{float_tests,int_tests}.rs
Arithmetic overflow, invalid shifts, division errors, unsupported powers, and nested-call failures now deoptimize or restart. The compiler tracks locals, resume offsets, stack merges, and safety mode.
VM AOT state and interpreter resumption
crates/vm/src/builtins/function*, crates/vm/src/builtins/code.rs, crates/vm/src/frame.rs, crates/vm/src/vm/*, crates/vm/src/stdlib/sys.rs
The VM adds AOT state tracking, eligibility caching, automatic compilation, deoptimization recovery, interpreter frame reconstruction, AOT statistics, and _jit introspection.
AOT integration and validation
Cargo.toml, crates/vm/Cargo.toml, src/settings.rs, .github/workflows/ci.yaml, extra_tests/snippets/*, .cspell*
AOT can be enabled through the feature, -X aot, or RUSTPYTHON_AOT. CI and Python snippets validate automatic compilation, fallback behavior, tracing, errors, recursion, and statistics.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 77f17

With AOT enabled, ordinary calls can now execute eligible loops natively without equivalent interruption checks, allowing a nonterminating loop to monopolize a thread; concurrent first-call publication can also weaken interpreter fallback, and several edge-case and configuration issues remain. These are concrete runtime risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Move this doc comment onto instruction_is_supported.

The comment describes instruction_is_supported: it states that the function mirrors the add_instruction match and that the answer only has to be right in one direction. It currently annotates jump_target_forward, which computes a forward jump target. instruction_is_supported at Line 152 has no doc comment.

In `@src/settings.rs`:
- Around line 372-385: Update the RUSTPYTHON_AOT handling in the settings
initialization so it does not overwrite an explicit -X aot value. Apply the
environment variable before parsing -X options, or conditionally use it only
when the -X aot option was not supplied, preserving both explicit enable and
disable values.

Allow operands equal to 1 << 53 to stay compiled.

The TrueDivide lowering uses IntCC::UnsignedGreaterThanOrEqual against 1 << 53, so boundary operands deoptimize even though binary64 represents ±2^53 exactly. Use a strictly-greater comparison, then update the two deopt expectations and the documentation.

compile_fpow and float_pow treat -0.0 as a negative exponent or base. This incorrectly handles 0.0 ** -0.0 and (-0.0) ** 0.5, which return 1.0 and 0.0. Update both guards and the affected tests.

Gate is_enabled() on JIT availability.

Line 25 can return true in a build without the jit feature when -X aot=1 or RUSTPYTHON_AOT=1 sets settings.aot. In that build, is_available() returns false and AOT cannot run. Return cfg!(feature = "jit") && vm.state.config.settings.aot so _jit.is_enabled() does not advertise an unavailable execution mode.

The scale division block asserts nothing.

scale computes a * b + a - b. It performs no division, so scale(1.0, 0.0) can never raise ZeroDivisionError and the except branch is unreachable. The block cannot detect a regression. The divide function below at lines 86-96 already covers float division by zero.

Assert the value instead, so the call still checks the compiled float path with a zero operand.

💚 Proposed fix
-# Division by zero raises rather than returning inf or killing the process.
-try:
-    scale(1.0, 0.0)
-except ZeroDivisionError:
-    raise AssertionError("scale does not divide")
+# A zero operand is an ordinary value for `scale`: it multiplies and adds, so
+# nothing here may raise.
+assert scale(1.0, 0.0) == 1.0

Let -X aot override RUSTPYTHON_AOT.

RUSTPYTHON_AOT=1 target/debug/rustpython -X aot=0 ... reaches this block after the -X parser and resets settings.aot to true. The inverse conflict also overrides an explicit enable. Read RUSTPYTHON_AOT before -X options, or apply it only when -X aot was not supplied.
