Conversation
object_alloc_class_inline_keys_impl calls register_class whenever parent_class_id != 0, and codegen ALSO emits one js_register_class_parent per inheriting class in the init prelude, so by the time user code allocates, the edge is always already published. Re-publishing it bumped the process-global prop_plan epoch -- discarding every cached store plan in the program -- then took a write lock on CLASS_REGISTRY and re-inserted the same pair. prop_plan_epoch_bump's own contract says its callers are rare cold paths by construction; an allocation is not one. An unchanged edge now answers from the dense parent mirror, the same indexed load every chain walk already uses, and returns. A new or CHANGED edge falls through to the full publication, so re-parenting still flushes -- test_gap_subclass_alloc_registration pins that, and the same test covers a re-parent through Object.setPrototypeOf and a second class sharing the parent. This carries NO measured win, and that is deliberate to state. Every allocation shape I could build either takes the inline allocator -- which never calls register_class, so the fixture is vacuous -- or measures the same in both arms: a subclass allocated through the dynamic-class entry is 7,298 instructions before and 7,296 after, and the child-minus-parentless difference is +3,362 before and +3,370 after. The work removed is real at the source level; what it is worth in a running program is unmeasured here.
array_subclass_fast_pop_validated bumped the process-global prop_plan epoch on every pop of an Array subclass, discarding every cached store plan in the program. The bump sits right after clear_packed_subclass_numeric_proof, which is idempotent: a pop loop retires a proof on its FIRST iteration and nothing afterwards, so every later pop paid a program-wide invalidation for a change that did not happen. The retire now reports whether it actually retired one, and only that answer flushes. The shape-version install below it needs no bump of its own: the sibling push path (array_subclass_fast_push_one_validated) performs the same install_cache_carried_object_shape_version and has never bumped, and a per-object shape version is not an input to the store-plan verdict, which is keyed on (class_id, interned key) and invalidated by vtable mutation, descriptor/prototype changes and GC. Unit test pins the contract in both directions: the first retire reports true, later ones report false, and retiring nothing leaves the epoch where it was. The gap fixture interleaves pops with stores through the same plans, adds a prototype setter mid-loop (the change the flush exists to expose), freezes a receiver after pops, and mixes element kinds.
A class-typed parameter is validated by walking every declared field on its inheritance chain by name. Measured at ~326 instructions per field, so a 3-field class pays ~1,000 per call and an 8-field class ~2,600. For a field declared `number` the walk re-derives what the object header already states. `expr/class_field_inline_guard.rs` relies on the same implication to skip its guard call: "intact bit set + class_id/keys match" implies "slot K is raw-f64". So when EVERY field on the chain is a raw-f64 candidate, (class chain reaches C, GC_OBJ_TYPED_LAYOUT_INTACT) carries the whole proof, and the descriptor emits OP_CLASS_NOMINAL instead: two header facts, no field names serialized at all. One non-numeric field puts the whole chain back on the walk. The intact bit is a raw-f64 claim; it says a string field's slot is in the POINTER mask, which is not "it holds a string" — and a clone that inlines `s.length` trusts exactly that. A fieldless class is excluded too: it has no value fact to carry, so demanding the bit could only reject receivers the walk accepts. Instructions per call, both arms re-run in the same window against base1579 (dynamic-dispatch driver, 2e6 calls, best of 3): 1 number field 5,309 -> 4,952 -6.7% 3 number fields 6,174 -> 5,436 -12.0% 8 number fields 7,808 -> 5,838 -25.2% string + number 6,822 -> 6,749 -1.1% (control: stays on the walk) The fast route is proven entered rather than inferred: three receivers with identical field values and identical output cost 5,571 (class-allocated), 8,646 (Object.create(C.prototype)) and 12,507 (a real instance whose intact bit a string store retired) instructions per call. A guard that rejected everything could not produce that spread. Also corrects the #8099 note that identity alone "bought nothing". That verdict is real but local to tree/tree_wide, whose reference-typed fields route both bodies through js_typed_feedback_class_field_get_guard. Codegen never reads these field nodes: the clone is compiled with SpecParamGuard::proof, which is `param.ty`, and forcing `fields` empty leaves all 24 emitted clone bodies across a 16-function probe set unchanged. The descriptor is the runtime ENFORCEMENT of the proof, not the proof.
`declaration_guards` refused a descriptor whose validation work grows with
the input — unless the body contained a loop, on the theory that array
reducers and similar consumers amortize validation over their own traversal.
They do not. The walk is a SECOND full pass over the same array, and the
clone's saving per element is smaller than the walk's cost per element, so
the guarded arm loses at every length and loses by MORE the longer the array
gets — the opposite of what amortization predicts, which is why no array
length rescues the rule.
Instructions per call against base1579, both arms re-run in one window
(dynamic-dispatch driver, best of 3):
1600 elements Pt[] 1,539,568 -> 410,171 -73.4%
string[] 604,460 -> 477,884 -20.9%
16 elements Pt[] 19,191 -> 7,624 -60.3%
string[] 10,308 -> 8,737 -15.2%
Controls, same window, same binaries — the identical bodies taking an
unproven parameter, which never had a descriptor to lose:
1600 elements Pt[] via any 555,495 -> 551,116 -0.8%
string[] 531,291 -> 529,172 -0.4%
Refusing is the win: the fallback is the generic body, and a refused
parameter still keeps its declared type, so it lands BELOW the `any` twin
rather than at it.
There is no O(1) substitute to reach for instead. A raw-f64 layout flag could
settle `number[]`, but that case never had a guard to speed up — wave 1's
`spec_clone_consumes_no_proof` already drops it, because an index loop over
a number array lowers identically with and without the proof. The cases that
still carried a walk were `string[]` and `C[]`, and no header bit claims
"every element is a string".
The body is no longer an input to the decision, so `declaration_guards` no
longer takes one and `body_contains_loop` is deleted. That makes the old
behavior unexpressible rather than merely untested.
A call site packing trailing arguments into a rest or `arguments` bundle emitted `js_array_alloc` plus one `js_array_push_f64` per element. Every push re-classified the receiver, re-resolved forwarding, re-noted the slot layout and re-checked the barrier — for a three-element bundle, 857 instructions of construction for numbers and 1,839 for objects. An array literal of the same width has been built inline since #5391: one bump allocation, a header that already claims pointer-free (and raw-f64 when every element is a plain double), then N stores. A bundle is the same shape with its values already lowered, so it now uses the same emitter, extracted as `emit_array_from_lowered_values`. Rooting is unchanged and still load-bearing (#7154): every element is re-read from the group's slots before the allocation, whose slow arm collects, and the finished array is adopted into the same scope so a second bundle's allocation cannot sweep the first. Bundles wider than the inline threshold keep the push loop. Per call at a static call site: `f(1, 2, 3)` into `...xs` 857 -> 92, `f(o, o, o)` 1,839 -> 494.
`Array.prototype.map` filling a plain result array paid the ownership and forwarding proof of its own receiver three times per element: `clean_arr_ptr` inside the raw-f64 canonicalization, an `addr_class::try_read_gc_header` inside the layout-note elision check, and a third header read inside the numeric-layout note. The caller has just re-derived the live head from its root for this iteration, so one read answers all three. `fill_resolved_array_slot` keeps the protocol `note_array_slot_layout_only` runs — canonicalize under a raw-f64 layout, store, retire the numeric claim on a non-number, note the slot layout unless that note is provably a no-op, and keep the born-old remembered-set edge — and falls back to the fully re-classifying helper for any head it cannot prove from that one read (unrecognized, or forwarded). `a.map(v => v + 1)` over 16 elements: 6,265 -> 4,234 instructions. The fixture covers both this and the rest-bundle change: element kinds, holes, -0/NaN, object identity, a callback that mutates and grows its source, a result longer than the 64-element branch, frozen and subclass receivers, and `arguments`. It matches node 26.5.1 normally and under the seeded moving-GC stress (4,028 copying minors on the object path).
…being on `js_typed_feedback_numeric_array_push_guard` is called on every `a.push(v)` that takes the guarded numeric tier. It built an `Observation` — a `gc_header_for_user_addr` lookup, a length read, a `classify_array` walk over the receiver's element layout and a `stable_value_kind` — and handed it to `guard_observe`, which throws it away and returns `contract_valid` unchanged whenever typed-feedback recording is off. Recording is off by default, so that was the whole cost of the call. This is #5094's gate. Every sibling array guard already carries it (`plain_array_index_get_guard_impl`, the four packed loop guards, both index set guards, `js_typed_feedback_array_get_f64`); the push guard and two declared-but-unemitted wrappers were the last ones that did not. The gated branch returns exactly what `guard_observe` would have returned in that mode, so the observing path and the recorded feedback are untouched. Measured on the dynamic-dispatch census, best-of-5 over 200k calls, minus the zero-iteration run and the same-arity identity baseline: arrPushPop 970.3 -> 861.3 -109.0 (-11.2%) No other probe moved: arrSet +0.3, arrLen -1.4, arrSumForOf +0.3, arrSumIndex +0.8, anyArrGet -1.6, objArrFieldGet +0.7, f64Get -0.5. `typed_feedback_enabled()` is hardcoded `true` under `#[cfg(test)]`, so the runtime unit tests only ever take the observing path and cannot cover the new branch. `test_gap_numeric_push_guarded.ts` covers it end to end instead, where recording is off: it drives every receiver shape the guard declines — frozen, sealed, non-extensible, non-writable length, an index accessor, sparse, a subclass, a Proxy, a mid-program `Array.prototype` index setter — plus a growing dense array and a TypedArray/Buffer receiver, and matches node both normally and under GC stress (8 copying minors, 6720 objects moved, from-space quarantine armed, evacuation verified). Two cases assert resulting state rather than a throw, both pre-existing gaps that behave identically before this change: Perry does not throw when pushing to a non-extensible array, and `map` does not preserve a subclass receiver.
…eceiver The packed-numeric fast clone re-derived the element base on every iteration: reload the rooted slot through the `asm "", "=r,0"` launder, mask the handle, load `size` at `-4` and `capacity` at `+4`, shift, add, subtract — about twenty instructions to reach one `load double`. The launder is opaque to LLVM by design, so LICM could not hoist any of it even though none of it varies. The clone already publishes a pre-masked receiver handle for exactly this: the poll-refreshed receiver cache `acc_scope.hoist_receivers` installs, which the packed STORE path (`expr/index_set_packed_loop.rs`) has read through `receiver_descriptor_handle_i64` since it was added. The read path was simply never converted. It is now, and the element-base chain hangs off a plain `i64` alloca nothing in the clone writes, so LLVM hoists it into the preheader. Soundness is #9379's, not a new claim: the matcher admits no call, closure or await; reads and writes lower to bare `double` load/store on existing slots, so no growth, no realloc and no barrier; and the back-edge poll is suppressed for this clone for exactly that reason. With no safepoint the receiver cannot move and its header words cannot change for the clone's whole dynamic extent. The fact is dematerialized before the slow clone is lowered, so nothing leaks past the clone it was proved for, and a receiver with no hoisted cache still gets the inline bitcast-and-mask from the same helper. Measured on the dynamic-dispatch census, best-of-5 over 200k calls, minus the zero-iteration run and the same-arity identity baseline (16-element arrays): arrSumIndex 659.7 -> 584.4 -75.3 (-11.4%) arrSumForOf 892.9 -> 845.7 -47.2 ( -5.3%) No other probe moved: arrSet -1.2, arrLen +0.2, arrPushPop -0.5, anyArrGet +0.2, objArrFieldGet -0.5, f64Get +0.8, arrMapInc -11. `test_gap_packed_loop_cached_receiver.ts` covers every shape that leaves the clone — a side exit on a non-numeric element, a hole read, a foreign index, a receiver grown during the loop, an allocating body that puts a real safepoint back, plus frozen, subclass and typed-array receivers — through both the indexed and the `for…of` form. It matches node normally, under GC stress (136 copying minors, objects moved, from-space quarantine armed, evacuation verified) and at `PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=1` with quarantine depth 64. `cargo test --release -p perry-codegen --tests`: 36 suites, 0 failures. Root-dominance corpus: 196 modules, 15430 root stores, exactly the 2 known `test_gap_gc_regexp_receiver_rooting` violations, 0 moving-minor reachable.
`for (const v of a)` over a packed numeric array paid an incremental-mark root-shading test on every element. `const v = a[i]` is an array alias, so `enable_persistent_shadow_slot_for_array_alias` gives it a persistent shadow slot, and the only per-store cost of such a slot is `emit_persistent_shadow_root_barrier` — an atomic load of `PERRY_INCREMENTAL_MARK_BARRIER_ACTIVE_COUNT`, a compare and a branch, plus the block split, once per element. `expr_is_known_non_pointer_shadow_value` exists to skip exactly that for a value that cannot be a heap reference, and it already admits a masked-window element read on this reasoning. The packed-numeric loop fact is the same class of proof and was simply not listed: the entry guard proved a dense raw-f64 (or packed i32/u32) plain Array, the clone it scopes has no safepoint and no growth (#9379), and the fast condition bounds the counter by the length read at loop entry — so `arr[i]` reads a raw numeric word and shading it is a no-op. The fact is dematerialized before the slow clone lowers, so this never leaks past the clone it was proved for. Restricted to offset 0. `arr[i ± c]` is in bounds only under a range-validated fact, and an out-of-bounds element read consults the prototype chain, where `Array.prototype[7] = {}` is a genuine heap reference that must stay rooted. The counter read cannot leave the array; the offset read can, and keeps its barrier. Measured on the dynamic-dispatch census with both arms re-run in the same window (best-of-5 over 200k calls, minus the zero-iteration run and the same-arity identity baseline, 16-element arrays): arrSumForOf 895.0 -> 813.9 -81.1 (-9.1%) of which -31.5 is this change and the rest the element-base hoist it stacks on. `arrSumIndex` is unaffected (-76.8, the hoist alone) because an indexed loop binds no element local. No probe regressed: largest increase +6.1 (strTemplate, untouched), and the five largest are +4.8..+6.1 — the noise floor. `packed_loop_shadow_barrier_tests.rs` pins both directions in emitted IR, and each fails without this change (1 shading test where 0 is required): the counter read's binding shades nothing in `for.packed_f64_fast.body`, the offset read's binding still shades exactly once in the `packed_f64_loop.foreign.inbounds` block its bounds check creates, and a third test puts both in one clone so neither arm can pass vacuously. Every test panics if its block was not emitted, so a count cannot be taken over a clone that never ran. `test_gap_packed_loop_proto_index_rooting.ts` is the end-to-end half: it installs an object at `Array.prototype[7]`, has an `a[i + 3]` loop over a length-5 array read it out of bounds, retains that capture, then churns the nursery for 60 rounds re-running both loops and asserts the object's identity and payload survive. It matches node normally and under GC stress with `PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1`: seed=37 rate=0.2 2524 from-space scans, all clean, dangling=0, missing_rewrites=0; 5048 copying minors, max 6720 objects moved; live set up to 33170 objects / 160486 words seed=91 rate=1.0 12694 from-space scans, all clean, dangling=0, missing_rewrites=0 `cargo test --release -p perry-codegen --tests`: 36 suites, 0 failures. Root-dominance corpus: 168/168 sources, 196 modules, 15430 root stores, 0 violations on the `--moving-only` CI arm with 40/40 seeded violations caught.
`s[i]` walked js_string_index_get_boxed -> js_string_index_get -> js_string_char_at -> ascii_char_string: a thread-local canonical-table lookup returning a heap StringHeader that the caller immediately NaN-boxed, and, for a short-string receiver, a full materialization of the receiver onto the heap first just to index it. An ASCII receiver's character is one byte, which is exactly a short-string value, so both ends pack inline: 272 -> 223 instructions per read on a heap receiver and 158 -> 109 on a short one. The value is unchanged — a short and a heap string with the same bytes compare equal everywhere — and two equal characters now share one bit pattern instead of one pointer.
ordinary_has_property asked object_static_prototype up front, spending a
shape/registry probe on every [[HasProperty]] — including the common walk that
finds an own key on the first hop and returns from the loop. Its only consumer
is the class-vtable fallback reached after the whole walk misses, and the walk
runs no user code, so the answer cannot change in between.
"a" in {a,b}: 957 -> 905 per call; a 40-key own hit 970 -> 917; a miss
4,773 -> 4,746.
The template desugaring wraps every substitution in StringCoerce so it is toString-first rather than +'s valueOf-first (#6078), but js_string_concat_chain formats each part itself. For a part already proven a string the wrapper is the identity, and the coerce only mints an intermediate heap string for the helper to copy and drop. `${s}:${n}` 1,437 -> 1,411 instructions per call (one of its two js_string_coerce calls is gone). The number substitution keeps its wrapper: a declared-number parameter is not provably non-pointer — an annotation can lie — and String(obj) and the helper's slow path can disagree for an object with both valueOf and toString.
`in` was the last common operator with no cache slot at all: `"k" in o` lowered to a bare `js_in_operator` call that re-derived the receiver's keys array from its ShapeId (a shape-slab probe) and re-scanned it, every time. That is 955 instructions for an own-key hit and 980 for one on a 40-key object, against ~15 for reading the same key through the property PIC. The answer is a property of the SHAPE, not of the object — two objects with the same ShapeId have the same keys array — so a site with a literal key caches one ShapeId and answers `true` inline when the receiver still carries it. Everything else calls `js_in_operator_presence_ic`, which computes the real answer (including the TypeError a primitive right operand owes) and may arm the site; the inline path can only ever produce `true`. Only positives are cached, and they need no prototype-chain epoch: the cached claim is about an OWN key, so `Object.setPrototypeOf`, a late `Proto.x = 1` and a `delete Proto.x` cannot falsify it. A negative would be a claim about the whole chain and there is no chain epoch in this runtime to key one on, so `"zz" in o` still calls the runtime every time. Invalidation of a positive needs only that losing the key moves the receiver off the guard: a compacting delete publishes a new ShapeId, and a tombstoning delete (#9064) keeps the ShapeId but sets OBJ_FLAG_STABLE_TOMBSTONES, which the guard rejects. Shape ids are allocated monotonically and never reused, and their range is disjoint from every class id, so a stale stamp can only miss. The cache holds two integers and no heap pointer, so it is not a GC root. Instructions per call, base v0.5.1579 vs this branch, both arms rebuilt and re-measured in one window (3M iterations, best of 3, minus a zero-iteration run; controls identity 177.0 -> 177.1, id2 149.1 -> 145.9): "a" in {a,b} 967 -> 41 "k39" in <40 keys> 980 -> 41 "zz" in {a,b} 4,783 -> 4,668 (miss: answer is not cacheable) "toString" in o 2,377 -> 2,351 (inherited: site declines after 8 tries) test_gap_in_operator_presence_cache.ts proves the invalidation against a warm cache: delete, re-add, 500 delete/re-add cycles, a prototype swapped for another and for null, a key appearing and disappearing on the prototype, an own key deleted so the prototype shows through, eight shapes through one site, descriptors, accessors, a Proxy `has` trap that answers false for a key the target has, and a delete performed inside the hot loop. It matches Node under `PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1` with seed 37: 3,932 copying minors, 3,932 clean from-space scans, dangling=0, missing_rewrites=0.
`o instanceof C` answers a miss by falling through a ladder of built-in
probes. Two steps into that ladder sat this pair:
let candidate_proto = class_decl_prototype_object(cur);
let target_proto = class_decl_prototype_object(class_id);
if !candidate_proto.is_null() && !target_proto.is_null()
&& object_has_user_prototype_override(candidate_proto) && ...
Both are class-registry reads — thread-local + RwLock + map — and both ran
eagerly, on every call that reached the ladder, which is every MISS. They
exist for one case: `util.inherits(Derived, Base)`, which re-points a
prototype without creating an extends edge between the constructors. The
question they set up to ask, `object_has_user_prototype_override`, is cheap:
two dependent loads off the receiver's meta record. The expensive half was
only there to find an object to ask it about.
`OBJECT_META_FLAG_USER_PROTO_OVERRIDE` is set at exactly one site, so a
process-wide latch stored just before it answers for every receiver at once.
A program that never re-points a prototype — which is nearly all of them —
now pays one acquire load instead of two registry probes. Set, never cleared,
and published before the flag it guards (the discipline `OBJECT_PROTOTYPES_-
NONEMPTY` above it already uses), so it is conservative in the safe
direction: a false positive costs a probe pair, a false negative is
impossible.
Instructions per call, base v0.5.1579 vs this branch, both arms rebuilt with
identical flags and measured in one window (3M iterations, best of 3, minus a
zero-iteration run; control `idle` 11.0 -> 11.0):
a instanceof B (miss) 669 -> 498
c3 instanceof B (miss, 4 deep) 1,062 -> 891
a instanceof A (hit) 74 -> 74
c3 instanceof A (hit, 4 deep) 270 -> 270
map/error/plain-object misses flat
No class-id band test is involved, which is the better outcome: the
"is this a user class id" question is not on the path at all. (For the
record, it would have been sound — all 87 reserved class-id constants fall
inside the two documented bands, 4 in 0x7FFF_FF00..=0x7FFF_FFFF and 83 at or
above 0xFFFF_0000, while user ids are a dense sequence from 1.)
test_gap_instanceof_miss_ladder.ts covers the latch's own hazard — a
`setPrototypeOf` performed AFTER the sites are hot, and `util.inherits` with
a method resolved through the linked prototype — plus `Symbol.hasInstance` in
both its static-method and defineProperty forms, a Proxy, a bound
constructor, Map/Error/Promise/Array/Function/Object, subclasses of Map and
Error, a 4-level chain, structurally identical twins, null-prototype
receivers, primitives, and a non-callable right operand. Matches Node under
`PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1` with seed 37: 2,182 copying minors, 4,364
clean from-space scans, dangling=0, missing_rewrites=0.
The fixture deliberately does not assert five behaviours it found to diverge
from Node on this commit's PARENT; each carries a comment saying so, and they
are reported separately rather than fixed here.

- Around line 45-49: Correct the changelog description around
object_alloc_class_inline_keys_impl to state that allocations can call
register_class when parent_class_id is nonzero, while unchanged parent edges
skip the prop_plan epoch bump and CLASS_REGISTRY write lock.
In `@crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/array_literal.rs`:
- Around line 152-162: Update the outlined array-literal path around
js_array_from_values to reload pointer-capable vals operands from their root
slots after the entry-block allocation and before storing elements, rather than
reusing pre-allocation values. Apply the same reload after
js_inline_arena_slow_alloc in the inline path, preserving non-pointer operands
and existing element ordering.
In `@crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/in_presence_ic.rs`:
- Around line 105-107: Update the shape-match condition in the inline-cache hit
path around shape_matches so it requires cached_shape to be nonzero in addition
to matching shape_word. Add a regression test that warms the site with an

as present.
In `@test-files/test_gap_instanceof_miss_ladder.ts`:
- Line 53: Move the inherits(Derived as any, Base as any) test in the relevant

Correct the inline allocator description.
object_alloc_class_inline_keys_impl calls register_class(class_id, parent_class_id) whenever parent_class_id != 0. The unchanged-edge check returns before the epoch bump and registry write lock. Replace the final clause with:
-but every allocation loop that could be built takes the inline allocator instead, which never calls register_class.

Re-read pointer elements after the collecting allocation.
The outlined path stores vals in an entry-block alloca. js_array_from_values calls js_array_alloc_literal, which can collect, and reads that buffer only afterward. The alloca is not a mutable root slot, so its heap-pointer values can remain stale.
The inline path also uses the pre-allocation vals values after js_inline_arena_slow_alloc. Reload pointer-capable operands from their root slots before the element stores.
The emitter was moved verbatim from the previous lower_array_literal, so the literal path is pre-existing. The new lower_rest_call_args_rooted caller now exposes the same unsafe path to short rest and arguments bundles.

allocation and before storing elements, rather than reusing pre-allocation
values. Apply the same reload after js_inline_arena_slow_alloc in the inline

Require an armed cache before accepting the shape match.
ic_slot.present only proves that the cache pointer is non-null. It does not prove that cache.shape is nonzero. An inherited-property hit resolves the cache, but armable_own_key_shape returns None and leaves shape at zero. An unstamped class-0 object can also retain zero in ObjectHeader.parent_class_id, which is the compared offset-4 word. The guard can therefore match zero and return true for an absent key.
Require cached_shape != 0 before the hit path. Add a regression that warms the site with an inherited key and then checks an empty object.
Proposed fix
let cached_shape = ctx.block().load(I64, &cached_shape_ptr);
- // An unarmed cache reads 0, which no stamped shape word can equal, so the
- // "is this site armed?" question needs no test of its own.
+ let cache_armed = ctx.block().icmp_ne(I64, &cached_shape, "0");

Keep the latch transition isolated.
inherits(Derived as any, Base as any) uses the same user-prototype override latch as Object.setPrototypeOf. Because this call runs before the direct override at line 60, it can arm the latch first and allow late-after-b to pass even if the direct override no longer arms it.

Landed via merge train #10398 (v0.5.1585). All source commits preserve authorship; merged main matches the validated train exactly. |
Second wave of the executed-instruction campaign. Wave 1 (#10295) took the audit's contained wins; this takes the ones it deferred, in three areas: parameter guards, per-element array work, and key/string lookups.
Same method as wave 1 — probes that isolate one operation, called through a dynamic namespace lookup so nothing folds, measured as instructions retired per call against a build of this branch's own base commit, both arms rebuilt and re-run in the same window. That last part is not a formality: an agent diffing against a stored census table from earlier in the day produced two large phantom regressions that vanished when the base binary was re-run.
Every number below I re-derived myself on the integrated tree, against
33690c5635. Where a commit message quotes a different figure, it was measured on that commit's own fixture againstfcd108bfb0(pre-#10295); the shapes agree, the absolutes do not, and the table here is the one to read.Census — 97 probes, 20,308 → 16,996 (−16.3%)
Control drift −0.03 instructions per probe; no probe regressed by more than the noise floor.
"k" in o, constant key, own hita.map(v => v + 1), 16 elementspush+popon a number arrayfor…ofover 16 elementss[i]`${s}:${n}`Dedicated fixtures — marginal instructions per iteration, median of 5
Measured as
I(2n) − I(n)overnso startup cancels without a control arm. Both arms are the census-window builds, from the same cargo package set (-p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static), run back to back.Pt[]parameter, 1,600 elementsstring[]parameter, 1,600 elementsf(1, 2, 3)o instanceof C, misso instanceof C, miss, 4 levels deepo instanceof C, hit (control)Two rows are worth naming rather than burying. A one-field class parameter goes the wrong way by 10 instructions: the nominal check is two header facts, which is not cheaper than walking a single field, and 2.6% is above this fixture's control drift of 1.0%. It is the shape the rule helps least and the cost is bounded and constant, but it is a cost. And subclass allocation is flat, which is the measurement behind the "no measured win" commit described below.
The parameter-guard rows are the ones where "is the subject live?" matters most, so they are pinned statically as well as dynamically: the base arm emits
js_param_type_guardat exactly two sites in that module (Pt[]andstring[]) and this branch emits none, and across the 169-source root-dominance corpus the count goes 3 → 0. The class-parameter rows keep their guard call in both arms — what changes is what the guard does — which is why a thinp.x + p.ybody measures nothing there and the fixture has to keep the clone alive with a loop. That trap cost me an hour: on the thin body I measured 453 → 457 and nearly dropped the commit as inert.What each change is
ingets a presence inline cache. The answerjs_in_operatorrecomputes on every call is a property of the receiver's shape, not of the object, so a constant-key site caches one ShapeId. Only positives, and only about an own key, which is why no prototype-chain epoch is needed:setPrototypeOf, a lateProto.x = 1anddelete Proto.xcannot make an own key stop existing. A negative would be a claim about the whole chain and there is no epoch to key one on, so negatives are never cached. Every way of losing the key either moves the ShapeId or raisesOBJ_FLAG_STABLE_TOMBSTONES, which the guard rejects. The cache is two integers — nothing for the collector to trace.Parameter guards stop walking descriptors they don't need. Wave 1 dropped the guard where the clone consumed no proof. What a clone actually consumes turned out to be one fact per parameter — the declared type — and never the descriptor's field nodes: a compiler built with those nodes forced empty emits byte-identical clone bodies for 24 of 24 probes. An all-number class parameter is therefore proven nominally (exact class id plus the typed-layout-intact bit, which is itself the claim that those slots really hold plain doubles). One non-
numberfield in the chain puts it back on the walk, because astring-field clone drops its receiver-tag diamond entirely and the intact bit only speaks for the pointer mask — that is the control row above, flat at 1,828 → 1,844.The same area deletes the rule that let a loop in the body license an unbounded per-element walk. Measured, "reducers amortize" is backwards: the penalty grows with length, which is where the 1,600-element rows come from. Refused parameters land below their
any-typed twins, so the declared type still pays for itself.Rest bundles are built like array literals — one inline bump allocation and N stores, instead of
js_array_allocplus ajs_array_push_f64per element that re-classified the receiver, re-resolved forwarding and re-noted slot layout every time. Bundles wider than 16 keep the old path.mapresolves its result header once per element instead of three times, keeping the full protocol: canonicalize, retire the numeric claim on a non-number, layout note unless provably a no-op, remembered-set edge for an old-born array.The packed loop stops re-deriving its element base per element, and its counter read shades no GC root — inside the guarded clone there is no safepoint and no growth, so the slot holds a raw numeric word and shading it is a no-op. Restricted to offset 0:
arr[i ± c]can leave the array and consult the prototype chain, whereArray.prototype[7] = {}is a genuine heap reference. Both halves are pinned by IR tests with paired negatives.Smaller runtime paths: an ASCII string index answers straight into a short-string value instead of a four-call chain ending in a thread-local table;
[[HasProperty]]resolves the recorded prototype only at the one place that reads it, not eagerly on every call; the concat chain formats the number parts it already knows how to format instead of building an intermediate heap string;instanceof'sutil.inheritsescape hatch becomes a process-wide latch instead of two registry probes per miss; and a subclasspopstops flushing store plans when the proof it would retire is already retired.One commit carries no measured win, and says so. Allocating an inheriting class through the outlined entry re-registers its parent edge, which bumps a process-global epoch that discards every cached store plan and then takes a write lock to re-insert the identical pair. An unchanged edge now answers from the parent mirror and returns. I could not get a microbenchmark onto that path: every
new Sub()loop I built takes the inline allocator, which never callsregister_class, and the dynamic-class entry measures 7,338 → 7,328, inside this fixture's noise. The commit message states this rather than quoting the figure its author measured. It is in the branch because the work removed is real at the source level andtest_gap_subclass_alloc_registrationpins that re-parenting still flushes; if you would rather not carry an unmeasured change, it is the first commit and drops cleanly.Validation
