…here The O0 machine-pipeline fallback is selected per function but applied per module, so every ordinary function sharing a unit with one extreme generated function is demoted with it. Measured on @babel/parser unit 0 (LLVM 22, x86-64, -Os IR pipeline): the demotion costs its 282 ordinary siblings 2.06 MiB of extra machine code (1.382 -> 3.441 MiB, 168 of 282 functions change) and the offending 227k-instruction closure another 2.0 MB (241 KB -> 2,254 KB), to save 6 s of llc time. LLVM has no per-function escape: optnone reaches instruction selection and the optional machine passes but not LiveIntervals or the greedy allocator, so an optnone-demoted giant still took 9.5 s of the 10.0 s and more memory than the undemoted arm. So raise the ceiling from 100k to 600k instructions -- but only on x86_64, which is where every affordability measurement was made: above the whole measured population (60 of the 61 OpenCode-corpus functions past the old ceiling are under 600k; the largest measured end to end, mime types/other.ts at 522,756 instructions, emits optimized in 704 s at 2.26 GB against 393 s at 2.34 GB demoted, for 13.72 MB of .text against 36.97 MB). aarch64/arm64 and every other unmeasured target keep 100k: both pathological observations (a 100,152-instruction function past ~10 GiB RSS, a 277k one over 16 minutes in LiveIntervals/regalloc) are arm64, are current rather than stale, and sit inside the 600k band. The ceiling follows the target the unit is emitted for, not the host, so a cross-compile to arm64 keeps arm64's ceiling. Also report every over-budget function instead of only the widest, and name in the message how many functions the unit demotes along with it, so a build names the whole set that has to shrink. PERRY_LL_FAST_EMIT_MAX_INSTRS keeps its semantics on every target: =100000 restores the old ceiling exactly, =0 disables the fallback.

Correct the corpus coverage claim.
The 600,000-instruction ceiling admits 60 of the 61 functions above the former 100,000-instruction ceiling. The documented 982,912-instruction function remains above the new ceiling. Replace “whole giant population admitted” with “most of the giant population admitted.”

Problem
fast_emit_fallbackdecides per LLVM module: if one function has more than 100,000 instructions after IR optimization, the whole codegen unit is emitted through LLVM's O0 machine pipeline. On the OpenCode v1.18.30 build (1,048 MiB of.text) the corpus log names 61 such functions; measured from the unit cache they hold 298.5 MiB of text and drag 140.5 MiB / 17,450 ordinary sibling functions into O0 code with them — 439 MiB, 42 % of the binary, every value on the stack.LLVM offers no per-function escape:
optnoneon the over-budget function alone reaches instruction selection and the optional machine passes but not LiveIntervals or the greedy register allocator (measured, table in the doc comment), so it frees the siblings without bounding time or memory. Splitting the giant into its own unit is dominated (the demotion itself is what makes the giant huge: 2,253,658 → 241,218 B at-O2).Change
600_000for x86-64 targets (measured), the old100_000for aarch64/arm64 and every unmeasured target. Keyed on the target the unit is emitted for, not the host.PERRY_LL_FAST_EMIT_MAX_INSTRSstill overrides on every target; on x86-64=100000reproduces the old output byte for byte.fast_emit_fallbacksnow reports every over-budget function, widest first, and the log line says how many defined functions in the unit are demoted along with it.the_budget_is_what_makes_ordinary_siblings_pay).Why 600k: on the corpus, 60 of the 61 functions past the old ceiling are under 600k (median 153,455; largest 982,912). The largest one measured end to end, the 522,756-instruction
mime/types/other.tsconstructor, emits through the optimized pipeline in 704 s at 2.26 GB peak RSS, against 393 s at 2.34 GB demoted, for 13.72 MB of module.textinstead of 36.97 MB.Why arm64 keeps 100k: the two observations that set the old ceiling (a 100,152-instruction function past ~10 GiB RSS; a 277k-instruction function >16 min in LiveIntervals/regalloc) are arm64/LLVM 22 and sit inside the 600k band; nobody has re-measured them, and every CI runner here is macOS arm64. The doc comment says what measurement would let that arm move.
Evidence (x86-64, perrymaster, LLVM 22.1.8, base = b5a82cf)
Specimen modules,
perry compile --platform bun --no-linkwith the corpus flags:.textbefore.textafter.perry_gcmapbefore → afterCompile cost stays bounded: the worst specimen back-to-back on one toolchain, alternating the ceiling, is +13 % / +28 % wall (load rose within each round, biasing against the raised arm) and +5 % RSS (~2.5 GB). One benchmark fixture (
bench_shared_shape_delete, a 282,496-instruction shape constructor) compiles in 139 s instead of 48 s for −59 % of its text; machine-pipeline cost is CFG-shape driven, not size-monotone, so no cap separates it from the cheap giants.Object-level equivalence: with a determinism control (base compiled twice → byte-identical objects), this branch's default output is byte-identical to the base compiler with the fallback disabled on all three specimens, and
PERRY_LL_FAST_EMIT_MAX_INSTRS=100000is byte-identical to base's default. The change does exactly one thing.Runtime A/B (16 workloads, 5 interleaved rounds, walltime + peak RSS + instructions retired): 15 of 16 emitted objects are byte-identical between toolchains; the one that differs (
bench_shared_shape_delete, over the old ceiling) runs at −0.23 % instructions, RSS −0.1 %. Geomean wall 0.9993×, instructions 0.9999×.Tests
