fix(runtime): dispatch node:stream super() through the legacy Stream base - #10805
proggeramlug wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
…base
class X extends Stream (the bare node:stream base that Readable/Writable/
Duplex/Transform themselves derive from) never installed the EventEmitter
listener/emit surface, the pipe() method, or the instanceof Stream class
edge, for ANY heritage shape reaching it (bare import, namespace member,
or CJS destructured require('stream')) -- #10649's dynamic bound-export
dispatch in js_fetch_or_value_super stopped short of Stream, and Stream
was never in canonical_native_parent_name's static recognition list
either.
Stream carries no hidden per-instance state (unlike Readable/Writable/
Duplex/Transform's _readableState/_writableState): in Node it is
EventEmitter plus one added prototype method, pipe(). Reuse the existing
EventEmitter-shaped install (a new js_node_stream_legacy_subclass_init,
which is js_event_emitter_subclass_init plus pipe) rather than adding a
stream-state shim that would duplicate work Stream doesn't need.
instanceof Stream needed its own hop in the class-id chain rather than
collapsing onto EventEmitter's id (which #10430 already registers for
`new X() instanceof EventEmitter`): js_instanceof walks the full chain,
so class_id -> CLASS_ID_STREAM -> CLASS_ID_EVENT_EMITTER keeps
`instanceof EventEmitter` true transitively while making
`instanceof Stream` true ONLY for a genuine extends-Stream subclass --
collapsing both onto one id would have made a plain `extends EventEmitter`
class wrongly satisfy `instanceof Stream` too.
PassThrough (#10745) is a separate, deeper HIR-level gap and is
unaffected by this change, as expected -- canonical_native_parent_name
still doesn't recognize it, so the hidden _transform field its shim
reads is still never pre-seeded.
Investigation note: the literal "is not a constructor" TypeError #10798
describes does not reproduce for genuine `extends Stream` usage (bare,
namespace-member, or CJS-destructured, with or without an explicit
constructor) -- confirmed against a pristine build before this fix, and
via nodemailer 9.0.3's own real internal usage (smtp-transport.js's
`new XOAuth2(authData, this.logger)`, intra-package). It DOES reproduce,
identically, for a plain class with NO heritage at all, when a compiled
package's internal file is require()'d directly from OUTSIDE that
package (e.g. require("nodemailer/lib/xoauth2") from a top-level
project file) -- a pre-existing, heritage-independent bug in
perry.compilePackages's cross-module class export, unrelated to Stream
and out of scope here.

Narrow the compatibility claim to the supported method surface.
js_node_stream_legacy_subclass_init installs pipe() and the EventEmitter methods as own properties on the subclass instance. Node exposes these methods through EventEmitter.prototype and Stream.prototype. Own-property reflection can therefore differ. Replace “matching Node byte-for-byte” with wording such as “now installs the supported pipe() and EventEmitter method surface.”

Summary
class X extends Stream(the barenode:streambase — not one of itsReadable/Writable/Duplex/Transformsubclasses) never installed theEventEmitterlistener/emit surface, thepipe()method, or theinstanceof Streamclass edge, for any heritage shape reaching it (bare import, namespace member, or CJS destructuredrequire('stream')).Streamwas outside #10649's dynamic bound-export dispatch (js_fetch_or_value_super) and was never incanonical_native_parent_name's static recognition list either.Fixes #10798.
What I found before writing the fix (per the issue's own instructions)
canonical_native_parent_name(crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/class_decl.rs) does not recognize("stream", "Stream")— confirmed by reading it, not assumed.js_node_stream_stream_subclass_init, and one isn't the right shape: unlikeReadable/Writable/Duplex/Transform,Streamcarries no hidden per-instance state (_readableState/_writableState/etc). In Node,Streamis literallyEventEmitterplus one added prototype method,pipe()(lib/internal/streams/legacy.js).Streamis a real constructor with a usable prototype in Perry's runtime already (bound_native_callable_export_value("stream", "Stream"),node:stream'sStreamexport does not inherit fromEventEmitter:require('stream').EventEmitteris undefined andclass X extends stream.EventEmitterthrows #10430'snew Stream()fix).Since
canonical_native_parent_namenever recognizes any spelling ofStream, every heritage shape (bare, namespace member, CJS-destructured) already funnels through the same dynamic dispatch (js_fetch_or_value_super) uniformly — unlike the other four classes, which have a fast static path for a plain import and only fall to the dynamic path for aliased/namespace/CJS shapes. So this is a runtime-only fix, matching how the mechanism is actually exercised — not a HIR change.Fix
crates/perry-runtime/src/node_stream_constructors/builders.rs: newjs_node_stream_legacy_subclass_init—js_event_emitter_subclass_init's existing EventEmitter method install (emitter_methods()) pluspipe(reusing the same generic, receiver-keyedns_pipe2thatReadable/Duplex/Transformalready install — it drives itself entirely offon/emit, so it works unmodified on a plain EventEmitter-shaped receiver).crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this/fetch_globals.rs:js_fetch_or_value_super'sstreammatch gains a"Stream"arm dispatching to the function above.crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/parent_static.rs:instanceof Streamneeded its own hop in the class-id chain rather than collapsing ontoEventEmitter's id (whichnode:stream'sStreamexport does not inherit fromEventEmitter:require('stream').EventEmitteris undefined andclass X extends stream.EventEmitterthrows #10430 already registers, fornew X() instanceof EventEmitter).js_instanceofwalks the full class-id chain, so registeringclass_id -> CLASS_ID_STREAM (0xFFFF0070) -> CLASS_ID_EVENT_EMITTER (0xFFFF0076)keepsinstanceof EventEmittertrue transitively while makinginstanceof Streamtrue only for a genuineextends Streamsubclass. Collapsing both onto one id (what a narrower fix would have done) would have made a plainextends EventEmitterclass wrongly satisfyinstanceof Streamtoo — verified this does NOT regress (see Validation).crates/perry-runtime/src/object/instanceof/dynamic_dispatch.rs: thestream+"Stream"instanceof branch now also walks that chain.A dead end worth recording
My first attempt reused
js_event_emitter_subclass_initunchanged (nopipe) and leftinstanceofalone. I verified it end-to-end before trusting it — it was completely inert:.on/.emit/.oncealready worked onmainwithout any fix, viaparent_static.rs's existingclass_id -> CLASS_ID_EVENT_EMITTERregistration (from #10430), andjs_event_emitter_subclass_initdoesn't carrypipe, so nothing observable changed. Confirmed reachable (added a diagnosticeprintln!, rebuilt, saw it fire) but functionally a no-op — exactly thePassThrough-shaped trap the issue warned about, just for a different reason (code path reached, but with the wrong payload) rather than an unreached path. Diagnostics removed before the final commit; the description above is the actual, verified fix.PassThrough(#10745)Not fixed by this change, and shouldn't be — confirmed with a control test (
class Tap2 extends PassThrough { _transform(...) {...} }): output stays"abc"(Perry, unchanged) vs Node's"ABC".canonical_native_parent_namestill doesn't recognizePassThrough, so the hidden_transformfieldjs_node_stream_transform_subclass_initreads is still never pre-seeded. That's the separate, deeper HIR-level gap #10745 describes; this PR doesn't touch it.The "is not a constructor" crash: does NOT reproduce for genuine
extends StreamusageThis is the finding I want to flag most clearly, because it changes what "fixing #10798" means.
I could not reproduce the literal
TypeError: is not a constructorcrash for any genuineclass X extends Streamshape:import { Stream } from "node:stream"import * as streamNs from "node:stream"; class X extends streamNs.Streamconst { Stream } = require('stream')(the issue's own minimal repro), both with and without an explicitconstructor(...) { super(); ... }All of these constructed successfully on a pristine
mainbuild (before this fix) — they were missingpipe/correctinstanceof, but did not throw. I also built nodemailer 9.0.3 in full viaperry.compilePackagesand exercised its real internalXOAuth2construction path (smtp-transport.js'snew XOAuth2(authData, this.logger), triggered bynodemailer.createTransport({ auth: { type: "OAuth2", ... } })) — this is an intra-package require (smtp-transport.jsrequiring its sibling../xoauth2), and it succeeded on pristinemain, no fix needed.I did reproduce
TypeError: is not a constructor— but only when reaching into a compiled package's internal file from outside that package (e.g.createRequire(import.meta.url)("nodemailer/lib/xoauth2")from a top-level project file, not from within nodemailer itself). Isolating it further: this reproduces identically for a plain class with no heritage at all (class PlainClass { constructor(x) {...} },module.exports = PlainClass), so it is unrelated toStream/heritage — it's a pre-existing bug in howperry.compilePackagesexports a class across that specific boundary (typeof PlainClassreads"object"instead of"function"on the requiring side). That's a real, separate, worth-fixing defect, but it is not what this issue is about and I have not touched it here. I'll file a follow-up issue for it.Validation
