perf(codegen): serve lazy JSON array reads from the indexed inline cache by proggeramlug · Pull Request #10114 · PerryTS/perry

proggeramlug · 2026-09-12T06:46:05Z

Summary

A JSON.parse result carries GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY, and the indexed inline cache's brand check only admitted GC_TYPE_ARRAY. Every parsed[i] therefore fell through to arrlike.ic.miss and re-classified the same receiver three more times — js_packed_arraylike_index_get → js_array_get_f64 → json_tape::cached_read::lazy_get — about 227 retired instructions for rows[7].id. #10050 and #10064 made that last helper allocation-free; nothing had touched the dispatcher chain in front of it, which is why post-parse reads were the worst rows in the JSON matrix.

The cache now proves a live GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY from the GC header and makes one call to js_lazy_array_index_probe — lazy_get's two non-allocating branches and nothing else. It covers both the sparse per-element cache (an array whose adaptive walk never trips the materialization flip stays tape-backed for the life of the program — the 16 KiB fixture is 120 records) and an installed ordinary array.

TAG_HOLE is the declined signal, unambiguous because a hole is never a value a read yields and holes already route to the miss helper. Cold elements, descriptors, out-of-bounds indices, growth-forwarding stubs and a stale cached_length mirror all take that exit. lazy_get refreshes that mirror when it serves a materialized read and a probe cannot write, so it requires the mirror to already agree and declines otherwise, letting the rooted accessor refresh it — a grown or shrunk array can never report a stale .length through a fast-path read. The probe is classified CannotCollect and deliberately omits lazy_get's rooted fallback, so the caller needs no extra rooting.

Measurements

Quiet M1 / 8 GiB bench host, Node 26.5.1, Bun 1.3.14, 7 interleaved repetitions, fresh processes, checksums verified against Node outside the timed region. Both arms built from main at e8f912392 (which includes #10074); candidate merge-base and reference HEAD verified equal before staging.

access row	Δ CPU	vs Node	vs Bun
1 MiB repeat	−41.7%	2.00×	1.24×
1 MiB fields	−41.6%	2.51×	1.89×
1 MiB sequential	−33.4%	1.84×	2.01×
1 MiB random	−31.9%	1.47×	1.44×
16 KiB repeat	−41.8%	2.05×	1.25×

16 KiB random	−35.4%	2.25×	1.61×
16 KiB sequential	−22.8%	3.06×	2.10×

Retired instructions per iteration, which are immune to host contention:

row	ref	cand	Δ
1 MiB repeat	227.1	116.1	−48.9%
1 MiB fields	855.3	474.1	−44.6%
16 KiB fields	805.0	466.0	−42.1%
20 MiB (all four)	—	—	+0.9…+1.2%

Peak RSS is unchanged to the megabyte on every row.

Disclosed costs

The 50-row screen shows nine separated regressions of +0.5–1.2% (numbers_1m:parse +2.41%), six reproducing across two independent windows, on parse / sparse / roundtrip rows.

These come from the benchmark worker's structure rather than from parsing. worker.ts runs all five operations inside a single run(), so its parse loop shares code layout and register allocation with the scan and sparse loops that do contain indexed reads. A worker whose run() contains no indexed read compiles to a byte-identical object file on both arms — so the cost cannot reach such a function. Programs that parse and index in the same hot function will see it; programs that do not, structurally cannot.

On the access screen the 20 MiB rows — above the lazy admission bound, so ordinary Arrays that never enter the new path — show repeat +2.97% and fields −2.83%. Before #10074 landed, the same pair read +0.08% and +4.94%. A cost that relocates between rows when an unrelated runtime change lands is microarchitectural sensitivity on rows doing ~0.026 µs of work, not a property of this change.

Why one call instead of inlining the proof

The inline form was built and measured first, then rejected. It grew run() from 10752 to 11804 bytes, and its 50-row screen showed string_a:parse +5.08% and null:parse +3.14% — rows with no array in them at all. Outlining cuts the growth to +56 bytes and those two rows to +0.01% and −0.07%, while keeping essentially all of the instruction reduction (1 MiB fields −37.8% inline vs −38.3% outlined). Both variants are in the branch history so the tradeoff is reviewable rather than asserted.

Validation

234 rows — 13 lazy-array fixtures × native/shadow roots × auto/tape/direct parsers × normal/scheduled/full-GC — byte-identical to the reference on both arms, with a real moving-GC witness on all 78 scheduled rows, so a green result cannot mean the stress never ran.

test_gap_json_lazy_indexed_cache.ts: identity and value across repeated reads, growth and shrink against the length mirror, holes, a prototype index override and its retirement, and cached zero — whose NaN-boxed bits are all zero, so the bitmap rather than the element word has to prove a slot live.
Two Rust unit tests pin the probe's decline contract, which is as load-bearing as what it serves: a decline that wrongly became a value would be a silently wrong read.
Lint: 81 of 83 gates pass. The parity-ratchet failure was mine and is fixed here by registering JSON.parse lazy array: Object.defineProperty index accessor is bypassed by reads #10097 in known_failures.json; the remaining public-benchmark-freshness failure is red on main too.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a lazy JSON array index probe for safe cached reads. Dynamic indexed access calls the probe for validated lazy arrays and uses the existing dispatcher for declined reads. Runtime, codegen, layout, regression, parity, and benchmark documentation are updated.

Changes

Lazy JSON array indexed cache

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime probe and layout contract `crates/perry-runtime/src/json_tape/cached_read.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/json_tape.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/json_tape/layout.rs`	Adds `js_lazy_array_index_probe` for sparse and materialized cached reads. The probe returns `TAG_HOLE` for unsupported, stale, missing, or unsafe reads. Tests cover cached values, zero-valued slots, bounds, null receivers, and stale length mirrors.
Codegen integration and call effects `crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/arrays.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/gc_call_effects.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index_get/inline_dyn_typed_array.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index_get_claim_tests.rs`	Dynamic indexed reads classify `GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY` receivers and call the probe. Successful results use the existing merge path, while `TAG_HOLE` results use the dispatcher. The probe is declared non-collecting and verified in generated IR.
Behavior validation and release records `test-files/test_gap_json_lazy_indexed_cache.ts`, `test-files/test_gap_json_lazy_defineproperty_index.ts`, `test-parity/*`, `changelog.d/10114-json-lazy-array-index-ic.md`	Adds coverage for sparse and materialized arrays, growth, holes, prototype overrides, moving GC, retained values, and indexed accessors.

A JSON.parse result carries GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY, so the indexed inline cache's brand check (obj_type == GC_TYPE_ARRAY) rejected it and every element read fell through to arrlike.ic.miss, re-classifying the same receiver three more times: js_packed_arraylike_index_get, then js_array_get_f64, then json_tape::cached_read::lazy_get. R22-R26 made that last helper allocation-free, but the call chain in front of it was untouched, so `rows[7].id` on a parsed array still cost ~237 retired instructions against Node's handful of cycles. Serve the read in the cache instead, once a scan or the random-access flip has installed the ordinary array, on exactly the proof lazy_get already takes: live unforwarded GC_TYPE_ARRAY, no descriptor overrides, length within capacity and its plausibility bound, dense in-bounds index. Prototype invalidation is also honoured, which the ordinary tier checks and lazy_get does not, so the admitted set is no wider. lazy_get refreshes the header's cached_length mirror when it takes this path. A cache cannot write, so it requires the mirror to already agree and routes a disagreement to the miss helper, which refreshes it and lets the next read hit. A grown or shrunk array therefore never reports a stale length through a fast-path read. Holes, sparse tape-backed reads, growth-forwarding stubs and every exotic receiver keep the unchanged dispatcher.

…ache The materialized tier only fires once a scan or the adaptive random-access flip has installed an ordinary array. An array small enough that the walk never trips that flip — 120 records in the benchmark's 16 KiB fixture, and any repeated or clustered read pattern — stays tape-backed for the life of the program and kept missing the cache entirely, which is why the 16 KiB field walk was the worst row in the matrix at 10.6x Node. Inline lazy_get's sparse branch for that case: bounds against the header's cached_length, non-null bitmap and element words, the bitmap bit, then the parallel element slot. The bitmap is the liveness test because JSValue::ZERO is a legal cached value, so a zero element word cannot serve as one. Out-of-bounds deliberately does not shortcut to undefined the way lazy_get does — the prototype chain stays the miss helper's job. Cold reads, holes, uncached slots and prototype invalidation all keep the unchanged dispatcher.

Exercises what the two new cache tiers are allowed to answer and what they must hand back to the dispatcher: identity and value across repeated reads, growth and shrink against the header's length mirror, holes, an accessor descriptor installed on one index, a prototype index override and its retirement, and cached zero — whose NaN-boxed bits are all zero, so the bitmap rather than the element word has to prove a sparse slot live. The sparse half deliberately never scans its array, since a scan would trip the materialization flip and move it onto the other tier.

Keep brand's successors exactly as they were and reach the lazy tier from arrlike.elem.kind's miss edge instead, after both the ordinary-Array and elements-subclass probes have declined the receiver. The admitted set and every guard are unchanged; only the position in the chain moves. This is hygiene, not a fix. The 20 MiB access rows regress ~4.8% on field walks either way, and the first placement was not the cause: profiling both arms on that row shows js_packed_arraylike_index_get absent entirely. A 20 MiB document is above the lazy admission bound, so it parses to an ordinary Array whose reads hit arrlike.ic.array_guard inline and never reach the miss chain where these blocks live -- they are present, not executed. The cost is code layout: run() grows 10752 to 11804 bytes, and that row's per-iteration work is ~0.027us and front-end bound (72-74% of samples inside run, 25% in fmod from the workload's own i % length). Retired instructions move +0.85% while CPU moves +4.8%, which is the signature of instruction fetch and prediction rather than executed work.

…iers The three new LazyArrayHeader offset pins pushed json_tape.rs to 2004 lines, over scripts/check_file_size.sh's 2000-line cap. Move all four layout contracts (the existing cached_length pin included) into json_tape/layout.rs, which is only their enforcement; the field doc comments keep saying why each word is load-bearing. json_tape.rs lands at 1968 lines, below where main has it. Also rustfmt's rewrap of the new cond_br calls in the indexed cache.

The indexed-cache fixture asserted that an accessor descriptor installed on an index takes reads off the fast path. main cannot do that at all: in both the sparse and the materialized state the descriptor is installed and then ignored, and only PERRY_JSON_TAPE=0 matches Node. The assertion therefore failed identically on both arms and told us nothing about the new tiers. Move it to its own reproducer, covering both lazy states, and record it in the gap snapshot against #10097. The cache fixture keeps every assertion the tiers are actually responsible for.

Inlining the whole lazy proof at every indexed read site made emitted code measurably worse on rows it never executes on. The 50-row screen against the pre-change compiler showed six separated regressions, worst string_a:parse +5.08% and null:parse +3.14% -- rows with no array in them at all -- and the access screen showed 20 MiB field walks +4.78%, on a receiver that is an ordinary Array and never enters these blocks. run() in the JSON worker grew 10752 to 11804 bytes; retired instructions moved +0.85% while CPU moved +4.8%, the signature of instruction fetch and prediction rather than executed work. Replace both tiers with a single call to js_lazy_array_index_probe, which is lazy_get's two non-allocating branches and nothing else. Emitted code per read site drops from ~87 instructions to a tag test, a call and a result test. The dispatcher chain (js_packed_arraylike_index_get -> js_array_get_f64 -> lazy_get) is still skipped; only the proof moves out of line. TAG_HOLE is the declined signal -- unambiguous, because a hole is never a value a read yields and holes already route to the miss helper. Cold elements, descriptors, out-of-bounds, growth stubs and a stale length mirror all come back as that. The probe is classified CannotCollect: it reads headers, bitmap and slots, never allocates a managed value, never enters user code, and deliberately omits lazy_get's rooted fallback. The three pointer-word offset pins go away with the inline form, since the cache no longer emits those offsets; only the pre-existing cached_length contract stays pinned.

The probe is the indexed cache's whole lazy fast path, so what it DECLINES matters as much as what it serves: every decline is a read the emitted code must hand to its rooted miss helper, and a decline that wrongly became a value would be a silently wrong read. Covers an uncached index, a warmed sparse hit and its still-cold neighbour, cached zero (whose NaN-boxed bits are all zero, so the bitmap rather than the element word has to prove liveness), out-of-bounds -- which must not shortcut to undefined, since the prototype chain is the caller's job -- indices outside the u32 domain, a null receiver, and a materialized read whose length mirror has gone stale, which must decline until the rooted accessor refreshes it.

scripts/parity_known_failures.py is a ratchet, not a suppression list: a gap_snapshot.json entry without a platform-applicable known_failures.json record fails the audit. Register #10097 for linux and macos with its provenance.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use the logical array element base.

shift_dense advances the dense array’s front offset without moving surviving elements. After materialization and a shift, a rooted lazy read can refresh cached_length, so the probe remains eligible. The probe then reads after ArrayHeader, and index 0 can return the removed physical slot instead of the current logical element.

Use crate::array::array_elements_ptr(cached) and add a regression test for materialization, shift, length-mirror refresh, and index-zero probing.

Proposed fix

- let elements = - (cached as *const u8).add(std::mem::size_of::<crate::array::ArrayHeader>()) as *const u64; + let elements = crate::array::array_elements_ptr(cached) as *const u64; let bits = *elements.add(i as usize);

(cherry picked from commit 1801680)

Train165 (#10114, #10117, #10119, #10120) lands on main at 0.5.1538; none of the PRs bumped the version, which is the maintainer's job at merge time. Cargo.lock regenerated so every workspace member's inherited version moves with it.

#10114 routes the lazy-JSON-array tier off the elements-subclass probe's miss edge, which moves that guard's false target from `arrlike.ic.miss` to `arrlike.lazy.kind`. `any_typed_dynamic_key_takes_the_numeric_tiers_when_it_is_an_array_index` asserted the OLD block adjacency, so it failed on the train: only GC_TYPE_OBJECT may reach the ObjectMeta.elements load: %r713 = icmp eq i8 %r705, 2 br i1 %r713, label %arrlike.elem.meta.159, label %arrlike.lazy.kind.164 The safety property the test exists for is intact — the guard is still `icmp eq i8 …, 2` and its true edge is still `arrlike.elem.meta`, so no non-object reaches the ObjectMeta.elements load. What changed is that a non-object now takes one more type test before leaving: `arrlike.lazy.kind` checks `icmp eq i8 …, 9` (GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY) and sends everything else to `arrlike.ic.miss`, which is the same complete dispatcher as before. A declining probe returns TAG_HOLE to that same exit. Native Buffers and other exotic managed cells therefore still leave through the dispatcher. So the fix is to assert the property rather than the adjacency, and to pin BOTH hops — which is strictly stronger than what it replaced, because the lazy tier's own kind guard is now covered too. Sabotage-checked rather than assumed: with the lazy guard's false edge rewired to `lazy_call_label` (so an exotic cell would fall into the probe), the new assertion fails with "only GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY may reach the lazy probe; everything else must still exit through the complete dispatcher". Restored, 12 of 12 pass.

Landed on main via merge train #10122 (rebase-merged, per-commit authorship preserved).

Your commits are on main starting at e74e6e76e4; the train tree was verified identical to main after the merge (git diff origin/main HEAD --stat empty).

I verified the expected-to-fail entry rather than taking it on trust, because marking a test as a known failure is hard to undo. Built a pristine main binary at 323e83ac6b before applying any picks and ran your fixture against it: node prints lazy-defineproperty-index 79280, perry @ main gives Error: descriptor read bypassed (scan=false), and PERRY_JSON_TAPE=0 on that same main binary matches node exactly. Both of your claims hold, so the gap_snapshot.json / known_failures.json entries stand; after the train it still fails in precisely that recorded way and no other.

One maintainer follow-up in 50e08e91dd: routing the lazy tier off the subclass probe's miss edge moved that guard's false target from arrlike.ic.miss to arrlike.lazy.kind, and any_typed_dynamic_key_takes_the_numeric_tiers_when_it_is_an_array_index asserted the old block adjacency, so it failed. The safety property is intact — a non-object now takes one extra icmp eq i8 …, 9 test before leaving through the same dispatcher — so I re-expressed the assertion to pin both hops instead of the adjacency, which also covers your new tier's own kind guard. Sabotage-checked: rewiring the lazy guard's false edge so an exotic cell would fall into the probe makes it fail; restored, 12 of 12 pass. Worth adding that assertion to your own loop next time — the one you did add covers a different test in the same file.

Closing this PR as landed — GitHub cannot auto-close it because the train merges as its own branch.

The brand test is the first thing every indexed read on an unknown receiver executes, and it computed the entire guard set before finding out the receiver was not a typed array: the element kind load, its range test, both index range checks and three ANDs. A JSON.parse array -- and any ordinary Array behind an erased receiver -- is not a typed array, so it paid all of that on every element read, forever, to reach a branch it was always going to take. Decide on the tag alone and leave. The kind and index guards only mean anything once the tag says typed array, so they move behind it into tav.get.kind_guard; the typed-array fast path reaches the same guard set by the same AND-reduction and is unchanged. Retired instructions per read, measured against the pre-#10114 compiler on the JSON access fixtures: -2.4% to -3.5% on all twelve rows. That also erases #10114's one disclosed cost -- the 20 MiB rows, which are ordinary Arrays above the lazy admission bound, go from +0.7..+1.8% against that reference to -0.4..-2.6%, i.e. below it. (cherry picked from commit 2adaac2)

The guarded element read for a dynamically-typed receiver emitted ~50 basic blocks and ~343 pre-RS4GC instructions per `a[i]`: eight typed-array element-kind arms behind a seven-block kind dispatch, the whole shape-carried Array-subclass IC tower (identity, dense-tail family token, spilled `length`, spilled elements), the elements-backed subclass probe, the lazy-JSON-array probe, four runtime calls and six `js_number_coerce` arms. On `prettier/plugins/flow.mjs` that tower is 55% of all emitted IR across 10,778 sites, for a program that neither constructs a typed array nor subclasses `Array`. The site now keeps four guarded arms and one out-of-line call, 20 blocks and 173 instructions: * the receiver tag / heap-band and canonical-index checks plus the managed `GcHeader` load, and the packed ordinary `GC_TYPE_ARRAY` arm — byte identical to before; * the typed-array arm, collapsed onto the four ELEMENT WIDTHS the header already stores instead of the nine element kinds. `tav.w4` resolves `Int32Array`/`Uint32Array`/`Float32Array` from ONE load with two `select`s; * the elements-backed Array-subclass probe (`ObjectMeta.elements`) — byte identical; * `js_packed_arraylike_index_get`, the same call the old `arrlike.ic.miss` block made, as the single exit for everything else. Every removed arm was an acceleration of a decision that helper already makes, and it is still handed the site's own cache slot, so neither the answer nor the primed cache words move. The one arm it did NOT already make, #10114's lazy-JSON-array probe, moved into the helper — a `JSON.parse` result still skips the `js_array_get_f64` -> `lazy_get` chain without every read site paying three blocks for the proof. The shape-carried IC tower (15 of the 50 blocks) is removable because it cannot hit in the shipped configuration: its hit needs a primed layout cache, and `build_dense_layout` is reached only when `elements_of(obj)` is null, which the default elements store makes false for every Array subclass. Measured on the OpenCode corpus (5 interleaved rounds, quiet host): prettier-flow `.text` -12.67% (38,113,543 -> 33,284,398), babel-parser -0.68%, babel-types-validators unchanged; `.perry_gcmap` within +-0.14%; O0-fallback units unchanged. No workload regressed: every shared row is within -0.43% .. +0.07% retired instructions and -1.1% .. +0.2% peak RSS, while a dynamically typed `Float64Array` read loop is -9.98% instructions / -40.6% walltime, a plain `number[]` -40.03% / -72.0%, an `Array`-subclass -12.10% / -22.9% and a `Uint8Array` -4.79% / -4.8%.
