Lane 4, stage 2 of the single-property-read effort. Rebased onto current upstream/main (v0.5.1628, which now carries #10824/#10826/#10828/#10833/#10834/#10860 and lane 5's #10831/#10836): the stack is exactly nine commits of mine, 13 files, +1238/−350 — three guard removals, the miss ladder, the fold, three test/style commits, the inherited hook. #10842 is not needed by anything here and is not carried. The one ordering constraint — #10860 before this, because without it the hook is +89 per read on every keyless inherited receiver instead of a gain (measured below) — is now satisfied by main itself.

Re-taken on the rebased stack (control = current main, which carries #10860; fixed = control + the nine)

perf stat instructions:u, min of 3, fitted 500k→5M (destructuring: the k16/k80 double difference at 200k/400k), output identical to node on every row, both arms built from their own tree and cmp-distinct. Re-taken twice — once on main + #10860 cherry-picked, once after #10860 landed with the stack reduced to the nine — and identical to the instruction both times. The control moved against the earlier stack (main does not carry #10842's cheaper chain validation, so every miss path costs more there), so these replace the tables below for "what this PR does on the tree it lands on"; the per-removal attribution in those tables stands.

Diag on the keyless inherited fixture, this PR: site a reaches the miss handler 1 time (object_no_keys=1, the prime) against inherited: hits=15,215,614 primes=1 declines=0. The inherited gain is larger here than on the #10842-bearing stack (−96..−102 against −64..−72) because without #10842 the chain walk the hook skips is dearer; the own-read numbers are the same 47 / 115 / 130 / 192 they were.

The generic own-property read is now tag test -> shape compare -> load. Three guards that stood between the small-handle test and the slot load are gone, each licensed by one of the stacked PRs, each measured on its own, each pinned by a test that fails without it; the miss handler no longer walks a closure/buffer/typed-array ladder for an ordinary object; and two latent defects #10833 reported are fixed.

Each guard cost exactly what its instructions said: 3 (the packed mov imm/and/cmp became a cmpb), 2 (the cmpb/jne), 4 (vmovq/movabs/cmp/je). The spill read moves only with the first two: its hole check is in the runtime arm.

The emitted hit, verified in the disassembly

Read out of the w1 fixture at the final commit (/root/rg/sE/w1 at 0x10f060, the read block located by its small-handle compare):

  lea    O(%rip),%rax ; mov (%rax),%rax         the receiver (a module global)
  movabs $0x7ffd000000000000,%rcx               the tag constant, 1 (loop cannot hoist it)
  mov    %rax,%rdi ; xor %rcx,%rdi              ┐ tag test AND unmask, 4:
  mov    %rdi,%rcx ; shr $0x30,%rcx ; jne       ┘  %rdi = bits ^ TAG is the handle
  cmp    $0xfffff,%rdi ; jbe                      small-handle, 2       -> lane 5
  mov    packed(%rip),%rcx                        compact word, 1
  cmp    %ecx,0x4(%rdi) ; jne                     THE SHAPE COMPARE, 2 (load folded in)
  shr    $0x20,%rcx ; vmovq 0x10(%rdi,%rcx,8)     THE LOAD, 2
  jmp    <merge>                                  block layout, 1

14 instructions are the read (after the third removal it was 16: tag 5, mov $0x30; bzhi 2, then a register load + cmp for the shape word). The measured 25.0 on w includes the consumer (h += ... is a dynamic add on a boxed accumulator, ~8) and the GC safepoint poll (4), neither of which is the read. What remains and who owns it, per instruction, is in the design doc §12.3: the small-handle test (2, lane 5 — 12 when it lands), the tag constant the loop is too register-starved to hoist (1) and the merge jmp that needs !prof the IR builder cannot emit (1) — those two are the last to 10 — and, below 10, the compact-word load that only link-time shape ids remove.

The last commit is what took 16 to 14: the handle is bits ^ POINTER_TAG rather than bits & POINTER_MASK (the same value on the pointer path, and the value the tag test is computed from, so the unmask is free), and the hot ShapeId load has a single use — the cold blocks re-read the word through an atomic load GVN will not merge — so isel folds it into the compare. Worth -3.0 to -3.3 per read on every hit-path fixture.

The three removals, and why each is sound

  1. OBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORSfix(runtime): enforce the three shape rules the single property-read path needs (synthetic class ids aliased live ShapeIds) #10824 (rule 1): every descriptor install, per-key removal and bulk clear on an ordinary object transitions its ShapeId, so a site primed on a plain data slot cannot match the receiver once defineProperty has converted that key; the prime side already refuses descriptor-bearing receivers; and fix(runtime): enforce the three shape rules the single property-read path needs (synthetic class ids aliased live ShapeIds) #10824's rule 2 (synthetic class ids started AT the ShapeId floor) is what makes a shape compare sound for an unstamped receiver at all. The GC-kind test became a byte compare on every target, and the emitter's endianness split — which existed only for the packed kind+descriptor word — went with it.
  2. The GC-header loadfix(runtime): close rule 3 — no non-object cell can hold a live ShapeId at payload +4 #10828 (rule 3): for any POINTER-tagged value the u32 at +4 equals a live ShapeId only if the cell is a GC_TYPE_OBJECT carrying that shape. pic.recv_hdr is gone; .size is the one key that still reads the kind byte, only to serve a native Map/Set from its own arm. perf(codegen): take two guards off every generic property read (-11% per read) #10833's exact-POINTER tag test is the prerequisite (a heap string's +4 is a StringHeader field rule 3 does not bound), and the same gate is now applied to the full-outline twin, which was still admitting strings through the collapsed test.
  3. The TAG_HOLE compareperf(runtime): make delete a shape transition, not a stable tombstone #10826: every successful delete changes the receiver's +4 word and retires the predecessor id, so a ShapeId hit proves the slot it names is live; every inline slot is born TAG_UNDEFINED (object/alloc.rs), so nothing but a delete writes a hole into one. The hole stays in the slot and every path without a shape-hit proof (spill arm, keys scans, walkers) still treats it as absent; the way path keeps its compare too — redundant by the same argument, but off the monomorphic hit and a separate measurement.

js_object_get_field_ic / pic_outlined_mru_hit (full-outline mode) mirrors all three so the outlined and inline programs stay behaviourally identical.

Tests that fail without it

  • expr/property_get/tests.rs: the CFG walk (generic_property_get_slot_load_is_reached_only_through_every_guard) now requires the chain to the slot load to be EXACTLY the tag test, the small-handle test and the ShapeId compare, and asserts each retired predicate absent from the whole function (the packed mask, the 2048 flag mask, the i16 and i8 header loads, the icmp eq i8 .., 2), the hit block free of the TAG_HOLE literal, and the way block still carrying it. packed_pic_header_guard_is_endianness_aware — which pinned the packed mask's PRESENCE — is renamed no_gc_header_load_on_any_target and pins its absence on three targets. Block set, predicate counts and the non-length tower test updated. 38 tests, all green; every changed assertion was red on the control tree.
  • test-files/test_parity_read_guards.ts: one shared read site primed on a plain object, then fed every receiver each guard used to catch — accessor/data descriptors, freeze/seal, prototype getters after the site primed; delete after prime (own, prototype fallback, re-add, polymorphic rotation, spill key, class field); Date(-1), arrays, Map/Set, typed arrays, ArrayBuffer, RegExp, Error, Promise, closures, classes, symbols, heap and SSO strings, numbers, bigints with and without expandos; .size/.length on dynamic receivers; class extends function (rule 2); an object-backed Array subclass across pushes; the in presence cache after a prototype-chain true; the A field a subclass overrides reads as the BASE class's value from inside an inherited accessor (Object.defineProperty getter), though a direct read sees the override correctly #10595 shadowed-field twin. Byte-identical to node (65 lines).
  • What I could NOT show, said plainly. The hole removal's "fails without it" was meant to be perf(runtime): make delete a shape transition, not a stable tombstone #10826's kill switch (PERRY_DELETE_SHAPE_TRANSITION=0, the id-preserving publish) on this same binary. It does not produce a wrong value in any scenario I could build — a churned literal in the stable-tombstone lane, primed, then delete of the primed key, with a prototype fallback and a === undefined probe so a leaked hole would be visible — and PERRY_IC_DIAG says why: under BOTH settings every post-delete read of that site MISSES (not_own ≈ 2.7M/s, one prime), i.e. the delete changed the ShapeId even with the switch off. So the switch, as built, does not keep the id across the delete of a primed key (it is not the loaded gun I first took it for), and it cannot serve as the unfixed control either. What holds the hole removal up is perf(runtime): make delete a shape transition, not a stable tombstone #10826's own tests (the_kill_switch_restores_the_9064_stable_shape_id, the 17 tombstone tests, the delete-parity file) plus the IR test above, which is red on the control tree. A wrong-value demonstration would need a tree without perf(runtime): make delete a shape transition, not a stable tombstone #10826 at all, which I did not build.
  • Runtime: an_object_miss_does_not_consult_the_typed_array_registry (both directions, through the registry's per-thread probe counter), a_resolved_but_unarmed_site_cannot_be_matched_by_an_unstamped_receiver, the resolved-lookup assertion in tests_10595. cargo test -p perry-runtime -- --test-threads=1: 4142 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored.

The miss ladder (stage D)

On a read site that sees many shapes every read is a miss, and get_field_ic_miss_impl walked the closure probe (is_closure_ptr's magic read + closure_get_dynamic_prop's accessor side-table lookup), the buffer registry and the typed-array registry for every heap receiver before reaching the object path — 33% of such a read by #10833's perf, against 3% for the key scan. Closures, buffers and typed arrays are distinct GC kinds (shape_rule3.rs classifies all 21; the only GC_TYPE_OBJECT ever registered as a buffer is a test's forgery which that test asserts is rejected), so one validated header read decides the ladder, and the object path takes its kind, descriptor and forwarding bits from that same read instead of three more. The elements-backed Array-subclass probe is gated on the key first. Measured: a megamorphic read drops from 545 to 446 (narrow shapes) and 661 to 563 (wide) — -99 per miss — with the hit path untouched to the last instruction. An absent-key miss on an object still pays eight typed-array registry probes in js_object_get_field_by_name's own dispatch (found by the test's counter): a separate ladder, worth the same treatment, not touched here.

The two latent defects (#10833's report)

Found on the way

The inherited-read hook on the never-primed edge (last commit)

Requested by the inherited-reads lane via the coordinator; the stack now also carries #10834 and
#10842 (three commits, cherry-picked; one conflict in get_field_ic_miss_impl resolved by placing
hook A in #10842's final position, above the async-resource probe, ahead of stage D's single
header read). This PR grows by those three commits plus one for the hook.

Where it is emitted, and why there and not on the exit. The brief named "the declined-guard
edge, the path that calls js_object_get_field_ic_slow". The first build did exactly that — the
hook in pic.miss.call, ahead of the slow call, on every path into the exit — and it failed the
brief's own isolation test: every own-key MISS paid a declining probe, +88 per read on a 64-shape
site (m1 602 → 690), +89 on a spill read (sp1 222 → 311)
, because the runtime lookup costs ~80
even when it cannot hit and the miss handler then runs it again as hook A. The hook now sits on the
one edge that only a never-own-primed site takes: pic.token.ways's "no cache slot" edge
(present false). A key on the prototype chain is never an own slot on the receiver's shape, so a
site that only reads such a key never resolves its per-site cache and reaches that edge on every
read; a site that has primed an own slot never does. Zero instructions on any other path, no extra
compare: the edge already existed and went straight to the exit.

pic.token.ways:   br i1 %present, label %pic.miss, label %pic.miss.inherited
pic.miss.inherited:
  <versioned-loop deopt note, as on the exit>
  %recv = inttoptr i64 %obj_handle ; %key = inttoptr i64 <interned key>
  %v = call double @js_inherited_read_cache_hit_f64(ptr %recv, ptr %key)
  %served = icmp ne i64 (bitcast %v), TAG_HOLE
  br i1 %served, label %pget.recv_merge, label %pic.miss.call

The served edge is the TRUE edge (the tower's rule since #7883); the merge phi takes %v from
pic.miss.inherited; a decline continues to the one exit exactly as the never-primed edge did
before. Nothing primes from emitted code. Plumbing: runtime_decls/objects.rs
((PTR, PTR) -> DOUBLE), gc_call_effects.rs (pure state read), root_reload.rs (no reload), and
scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py (root_reload's list must stay a subset of the checker's set).

What this placement gives up. A MIXED site — some receivers with the key own, some inheriting
it — primes an own slot and then never takes the never-primed edge again, so its inherited
receivers keep F0's path (slow entry, then hook A inside the runtime: correct, and 71 dearer per
read than the hook). inhshadow (own for a stretch, then deleted, then inherited) is that case
and shows it: 399.5 → 366.75, about half of the pure-inherited rows' −70, because it takes the
never-primed edge only until its own stretch primes the site. Serving mixed sites from emitted code needs a per-site "this site
has inherited entries" bit that the miss handler's prime would set — a compact-word sentinel or a
flag word in the full cache — which is a second placement with its own measurement, not this one.

Typed-feedback builds do not get the hook. The recording blocks put a guard-fail and a
fallback-call record on precisely the never-primed edge; a read served without a call would have
to change one of those records, and feedback builds are profiling builds whose signal must stay
byte-identical. They keep the old edge; the paths still compile.

Receiver validation. The hook validates its own receiver (is_plausible_heap_addr, then
object_shape_stamp's range test), so nothing on the edge needs to prove the receiver first; a
small handle never reaches this edge anyway (it fails the small-handle test before pic.token).

The full-outline twin does NOT get the hook, deliberately. js_object_get_field_ic is already
inside the runtime — the cost the hook removes for an inline site (the slow entry's prologue and
dispatch) is already paid — and get_field_ic_miss_impl asks the same cache first thing for a heap
receiver (hook A). Both programs answer from the same lookup in the same order: own hit, inherited
cache, ladder. Identical behaviour, one call fewer on the outlined side.

Cost of the decline. A never-primed site whose read the cache refuses (an accessor on the
prototype, inhacc; an own accessor, ownacc) performs the lookup twice — once from emitted
code, once as hook A inside the miss handler, which is the one that carries Declined to hook B so
the chain is not re-walked. Measured: inhacc 2821 → 2925 (+104), ownacc 3553 → 3640 (+87), and protoself /
protoother, whose prototype is mutated every iteration so the entry is invalidated every read,
25982 → 26073 / 25819 → 25912 (+91 / +93, i.e. +0.35%); threading
the tri-state through the slow entry's signature would remove it and was left out to keep the
change to the edge.

Measured (perf stat instructions:u, min of 3, fitted 200k→5M, output identical to node,
binaries cmp-distinct): F0 = the stack with #10834/#10842 but no emitted hook, F2 = F0 + the hook on the never-primed edge.

Own-read rows between F0 and F2: every single-read row is unchanged to the instruction — k1 47,
w1 115, s1 115, sp0 78, m0 80, mw0 80 — and the hot read sequence of w1 is the same 14
instructions in the same order in both binaries. What differs is register ASSIGNMENT: the handle
now lives in %r14 instead of %rdi because it must survive the hook call in the cold arm, and
that global regalloc change moves the multi-read and miss rows by a few instructions each way:
k4 132 → 130, w4 190 → 192, s2 142 → 139, sp1 222 → 223, m1 602 → 608, mw1 719 → 725,
d2 135.2 → 136.0, d5 210.9 → 209.2, own1 113 → 111, ownm 286 → 289, ownpoly 211 → 213.
So "unchanged to the instruction" holds for the read sequence and for every monomorphic row, and
does not hold as a whole-loop statement (±2-6) — the first placement, for comparison, moved m1
by +88 and sp1 by +89. (F0's own rows are themselves
identical to stage E's: k1 47, k4 132, w1 115, w4 190, s1 115, s2 142, sp0 78,
sp1 222, d2 135.19, d5 210.88, own1 113, ownm 286, ownpoly 211.25.)

One interaction, for the inherited-reads lane rather than this hook. With #10834/#10842 in
the stack the MEGAMORPHIC own-key rows rose: m1 525 → 602, mw1 642 → 719 (+77 per miss). That
is hook A inside get_field_ic_miss_impl — a (class id, ShapeId, key) table probe on every miss —
running for a site whose key IS own and can therefore never hit the inherited cache; it lands ahead
of stage D's ladder skip and gives back most of that −99. A megamorphic own-key site is exactly the
node.kind shape the design opened with. Whether hook A should be gated (a cheap "this shape has
the key as own" filter, or moving it below the own-key scan) is lane 3's call; it is recorded here
because the numbers would otherwise read as this PR's.

Hit evidence. PERRY_IC_DIAG on diaginh.ts (an inherited O.a beside a 64-shape site to
drive the dump tick). The cache's own counters count hits from EITHER caller, so they do not
separate the two arms; the per-site miss rows do, because a read served on the emitted edge never
enters the miss handler:

arm site a misses inherited: row
F0 (cache in the runtime, no emitted hook) 12,387,712 (not_own, every read) hits=12,387,710 primes=1 declines=1
F2 (hook on the never-primed edge) 2 (the prime, and the pre-prime decline) hits=15,428,604 primes=1 declines=1

Same binary family, same second of wall time: every inherited read in F2 is answered before the
runtime is entered.

Tests. the_inherited_read_cache_is_asked_on_the_never_primed_edge_only pins five facts (one
caller block; reached from pic.token.ways on the FALSE edge of the cache-present test and from
nowhere else; polarity; the slow entry's block and operands; the phi incoming); the CFG walk
asserts the hook's result is not in the chain to the slot load; the block-set ratchet gains
pic.miss.inherited; compact_get_mru_is_atomic_and_full_cache_remains_lazy now names the packed word it
forbids a zero test on, instead of forbidding every icmp ne i64 in the function.

Two re-measurements the inherited lane asked for (the stack now also carries #10860)

1. The +77 per megamorphic own-key miss was two things, and neither is #10863. The claim that
m1 "reads z, the last key" is not true of this tree's m1: it reads kind, the FIRST key of
every literal ({kind:1,f0_0:1}, …), and mw1 reads kind at index 11 of 24. Both LATCH —
PERRY_IC_DIAG way_state at the last dump: m1 megamorphic=20,676,159 of 20.9M, mw1
megamorphic=17,503,555 of 17.7M — so the ways are skipped on essentially every read and the
#10863 never-latching cost is not in either row. Bracketed with two variants that differ only in
the key's position, all four on the F2 binary, once with the cache on and once with
PERRY_INHERITED_IC=0 (one binary, one switch):

fixture kind position IC on IC off hook A latch (mega / total)
m1 first (behind 1-5 keys in the scan) 608.49 563.49 +45.00 20.7M / 20.9M

mw1k first, behind 23 keys 872.49 827.49 +45.00 15.2M / 15.4M

So the attribution splits: hook A's probe is +45 per miss, exactly, independent of key
position
; the other ~32 of the E→F0 +77 is the rest of #10834/#10842's miss-path changes
(hook B's miss_reason test, the get_field_by_name_past_inherited_cache tail, 649a7a6's
validity-word path), which one switch cannot separate further. The key's position is a separate
axis, worth ~11-12 per key the back-to-front scan (#10595) walks before reaching it: 517 (last) →
563 (first of ≤6) → 680 (12th of 24) → 827 (first of 24). That scan is the "3%" #10833 measured
on its fixture; on a 24-key literal it is a third of the miss.

2. Every inherited fixture I measured carried a mutated own key. inh1, inh3, inhcp,
inhm, inhpoly, churn, inhshadow, protoself, protoother all give the receiver an own
x written in the loop (copied from /root/pv, where it was added to defeat node's folding), and
#10860 found that this routes the read past the two defects it fixed. Re-taken on KEYLESS
receivers — Object.create(P) with nothing of its own, new C() from an empty constructor, 1- and
3-level — on F0 (cache in the runtime, no emitted hook) and F2 (the hook), plus F2 with the cache
switched off as the main-like reference. The loop body stays loop-variant (h += k & 1), but
node hoists the invariant inherited load, so its column is a floor, not a comparison:

fixture F0 F2 (hook) Δ F2, cache off node bun
inh1k: keyless Object.create(P), 1 level 1327 1416 +89 1281 15.8 15.9
inh3k: keyless, 3-level chain 2279 2368 +89 2233 15.8 16.3
inhcpk: new C() from an empty constructor, C.prototype.a 1052 1140 +88 1005 14.8 14.4
inhmk: method through the prototype, keyless instance 1187 1272 +85 1137 13.0 11.9

On a keyless receiver the hook is pure overhead, +85..+89 per read, and the cache it asks is
already pure overhead (+46: F0 against cache-off).
That is #10860's defect A seen from the
emitted side: get_field_ic_miss_impl primes only under NotOwn, a keyless receiver reports
ObjectNoKeys from an earlier arm, so nothing is ever primed, the lookup answers Unknown on every
read, and the site — which never own-primes — takes the never-primed edge and pays the probe every
time. The own-keyed fixtures hid this because the own x gives the receiver a keys array, so they
prime, hit, and were measured on the one shape where the cache could not fail. The 3-level chain
is the row the lane warned about: 2279 today, against 340 with an own key.

So without #10860 this hook REGRESSES the most common inherited-read receiver by ~7%, and the
landing order is not free: #10860 first, then #10843. Measured with #10860 cherry-picked onto
both arms (F0' = F0 + #10860, F3 = F2 + #10860; the working tree carries #10860's commit verbatim
for that reason):

fixture F0' (no hook) F3 (hook) Δ F3, cache off node bun
inh1k: keyless, 1 level 315 251 −64 1272 15.8 15.9
inh3k: keyless, 3-level chain 315 251 −64 2224 15.8 16.3
inhcpk: keyless new C(), C.prototype.a 323 255 −68 996 14.8 14.4
inhmk: keyless, method through the prototype 458 386 −72 1128 13.0 11.9
inh1 (own x, as before) 343 273 −70 1440 14.0 13.2
inh3 (own x) 343 273 −70 2392 15.3 13.9
inhcp (own x) 353 283 −70 1170 14.2 14.0
inhm (own x) 523 460 −63 1348 18.4 15.7
k1 / w1 (own reads, control) 47 / 115 47 / 115 0 / 0 47 / 115
m1 (64-shape own-key miss, control) 605.5 611.5 +6 563.5 90 60

With #10860 the hook is worth −64 to −72 on every inherited row, keyless or not, and the
keyless 3-level chain goes 2224 (cache off) → 315 (#10860) → 251 (#10860 + this hook); the own-read
controls are unchanged to the instruction (k1 47, w1 115) and the megamorphic control carries
the same +6 regalloc drift as before. Diag on a keyless receiver under F3 (diaginhk.ts, the keyless twin of diaginh.ts): site
a reaches the miss handler 2 times (object_no_keys=2: the pre-prime read and the prime)
against inherited: hits=16,114,684 primes=1 — every read served on the emitted edge. The stack now
carries #10860's commit (cherry-picked verbatim, no conflict, on both arms), so #10843 cannot land
without it; the PR says so.

Verification on the final tree (F2 + #10860). cargo test -p perry-runtime -- --test-threads=1: 4181 passed, 1 failed — and the one is
#10860's own several_object_create_receivers_do_not_evict_each_other, failing by exactly one hit
(hits=55 primes=8 declines=1, bound ≥ 56). Per-read counters show why: the very FIRST read in
the process DECLINES instead of priming (every production diag on this stack shows the same
declines=1, on both arms, with or without the hook), so receiver 0 primes one round late and gets
6 hits instead of 7. #10860 was written against #10834 on main, where the first read primes;
#10842 introduced the one-time first-walk decline (its walk, on meeting a hop whose ObjectMeta lacks OBJECT_META_FLAG_IS_PROTOTYPE, calls mark_object_as_prototype — which may mint the meta record — and returns None for that read, deliberately un-remembered, so the next read primes; inherited_read_cache.rs, the hop loop). Harmless at run time — one decline
per process — but the two PRs disagree by one read and the combined stack cannot be green until
lane 3 reconciles them (either #10842's first walk primes, or #10860's bound allows the decline);
not this lane's file to change, so it is reported rather than patched. cargo fmt --check: clean
for every file touched here; #10860's hunk in ic_miss.rs and the six lane-3 files are flagged and
left as their PRs have them. Output identical to node on every re-measured fixture; F0'/F3 binaries cmp-distinct.

Verification (rebased tree)

  • cargo test -p perry-codegen property_get 39/39. cargo test -p perry-runtime -- --test-threads=1 on current main aborts the whole process at bun_compat::plugin::tests::calls_setup_for_objects_and_functions_without_running_hooks (plugin.rs:154, a non-unwinding panic — pre-existing, reproduced on the control tree), which had been masking everything alphabetically after it. With that one test skipped: this PR 4169 passed, 9 failed; bare main the SAME 9 failedgc::tests::runtime_roots::prototype_addr_cache::a_second_agents_prototype_addresses_are_its_own, seven intl::segments_view::view_mode_tests::*, and object::field_set_by_name::fast_paths::tests::transition_fast_rejects_object_prototype_even_with_a_cached_edge — none in a file this PR touches, all failing in isolation too. Net: the nine commits add two passing tests and no failure. cargo fmt --all --check: clean. Both parity files byte-identical to node.
  • Every fixture binary in both arms built from its own tree and cmp-distinct; output identical to node on all of them; bare control 1.00 in both arms.
  • PERRY_IC_DIAG: the keyless inherited site reaches the miss handler once (the prime) against 15.2M cache hits; the monomorphic own site once against 18M megamorphic misses on the paired fixture (see the earlier section).
  • The perf(runtime): stop hoisting cold-path thread-locals into o[k]'s fast lane (−5.8%) #10651 trap: js_object_get_field_ic_slow and get_field_ic_miss_impl in the production w1 binary have zero %fs: accesses before their first conditional branch.

CI lint / e2e-scoped / pr-gate are red on main for unrelated reasons (#10799).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds sentinel-based cache initialization, simplifies generic property-get guards around ShapeId matching, adds inherited-read cache handling, consolidates runtime receiver classification, fixes resolved key lookup ordering, and expands codegen and parity tests.

Changes

Shape-safe cache and object runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Presence-cache initialization
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/ic_slot.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/has_property_ic.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/in_presence_ic.rs
Resolved presence-cache slots initialize word 0 with IN_PRESENCE_UNARMED before publication. Shape matching therefore rejects unarmed sites, including unstamped receivers.
Generic property-get dispatch
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/property_get/generic_dispatch.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/property_get/tests.rs, test-files/test_parity_read_guards.ts
The PIC uses PACKED_GET_EMPTY, ShapeId comparison, and PACKED_SPILL_FLIP. Hot-path GC-header, descriptor, overflow, and TAG_HOLE checks are removed. Tests cover receiver kinds, deletion, spill entries, presence caches, and guard output.
Runtime inherited-read path
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/ic_miss.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/keys_lookup.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/objects.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/gc_call_effects.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/root_reload.rs, scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py
The miss path reuses one validated GC-header read, serves inherited reads through the cache, and classifies the inherited-read helper as non-collecting. Resolved key lookup now prefers the most-derived duplicate field.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The PERRY_DELETE_SHAPE_TRANSITION=0 kill switch is now unsound, not just slower.

The comment states this correctly, so record it as a tracked defect rather than a note. With the TAG_HOLE compare removed, a shape-gated hit under the kill switch addresses a deleted slot and returns the raw hole word to JavaScript. The same removal was applied to the runtime twin pic_outlined_mru_hit in crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/ic_miss.rs, so the outlined path has the same exposure.

Remove the environment switch in this stack, or make it fail closed by forcing the full-outline or non-shape-gated path when it is set. Do not ship a supported configuration that can return TAG_HOLE as a property value.

Do you want me to open an issue to track retiring PERRY_DELETE_SHAPE_TRANSITION?

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The family sweep undoes the carrier protection the rekey just applied.

rekey_predecessor_for_delete declines (returns 0) when the predecessor record carries RECORD_FLAG_CACHE_CARRIER | RECORD_FLAG_EXTERNAL_CARRIER, because that id must stay resolvable. The caller then mints a detached successor and, because owned is still true, runs retire_family_except(current.keys, id). That sweep removes every other id under the address, including the carrier-flagged predecessor. The record the decline protected is deleted anyway.

Trigger: an owned keys array whose current ShapeId record is cache- or externally-carried, followed by any tombstone delete. Consequence: the cache reinstalls an id that shape_descriptor_by_id no longer resolves, and an id installed through install_external_shape_id stops resolving for objects already published under it.

Skip the sweep when the rekey declined, or make retire_family_except preserve carrier-flagged records.

🐛 Proposed fix: only sweep when the rekey succeeded

Serialize all ShapeId-producing tests during this measurement.

test_shape_id_counter() reads process-global SHAPE_ID_NEXT, but global_side_table_test_lock excludes only tests that acquire the same mutex. The lock-free has_own_key_probe_never_uses_the_element_accessor test allocates an object and adds 48 distinct keys. Each append reaches publish_object_shape_from, which mints a new descriptor ID for the new keys edge. If it overlaps the transitioned lane, its IDs enter the measured delta and can exceed the 20-ID allowance. Guard all tests that mint ShapeIds with the same lock, or use a dedicated shared measurement lock. A fixed slack is not a reliable substitute.

Queued behind #10824/#10828 in the merge trains. Two things found while assembling it that need recording, because both would otherwise be discovered late.

5 of the 13 commits are already landed or already in a train

commit is
8b24a80b21 enforce the three shape rules #10824 — merge train 247
053fa01bfc class registry epoch-delta pin #10824 — merge train 247
d308b2d0ca close rule 3 #10828 — merge train 247
b447833898 delete as a shape transition #10826 — LANDED in v0.5.1623
7b0ede70af take two guards off every generic read #10833 — LANDED in v0.5.1623

So the unique content is the top 8 commits (62fd35c1ed53522d9ce6). Cherry-picking the PR whole would re-apply two commits already on main.

Assembled that way it is clean: all 8 cherry-pick onto the 247 train with zero conflicts, and check_file_size, raw_handle_debt, gc_runtime_root_holders, addr_class_inventory and cargo fmt --all -- --check are all green on the result.

The census refuses it, and the PR does not update the census

CensusError: generic read PIC compact identity guard disconnected:
  cond_br(&is_plain_kind,&tok_label,&cold_label)

810fcd1ecc ("take the GC-header load off every generic property read") removes the is_plain_kind test, which is exactly what #10828's rule 3 licenses — a shape compare alone proves the receiver is an ordinary object. The removal looks correct. But scripts/shape_descriptor_census.py still requires that branch to exist, and this PR does not touch the census, so the tree is refused.

This is the same shape as the refusal #10833 hit and that merge train 244 resolved: the census was asserting an instruction that an invariant had made redundant, and the fix was to retarget it onto the invariant rather than delete the assertion. There, PACKED_GET_EMPTY moving outside [SHAPE_ID_BASE, SHAPE_ID_END) made the separate emptiness test redundant, and the census now asserts that range relationship directly.

The equivalent retarget here is to assert the property that licenses removing the load — that rule 3 is closed, i.e. object/shape_rule3.rs's fence-keeping set is empty and Rule3Word::RangeReachable is never constructed — rather than that the is_plain_kind branch survives. That assertion is strictly stronger: it fails if a future kind reopens the hole, which is the condition under which the removed load would actually be needed again.

Note the ordering dependency: that retarget cannot be written against main today, because the rule-3 property it asserts arrives with #10828. It has to be part of the same train as, or a train after, #10824/#10828.

One diff-form warning for anyone else checking this

git diff --name-only origin/main..refs/pull/10843/head lists 106 files including the census — but that is the two-dot form, which also reports what main changed since this branch's merge base (ba303c1f5f, train 243), and the census edit it shows is train 244's, on main. The PR's own change set is the three-dot form: 50 files, census not among them. I read the two-dot output first and briefly concluded the PR did update the census.

Follow-up to my earlier comment. I resolved the census question and looked at the cherry-pick conflict; here is what both turned up.

The census retarget is done and verified

shape_descriptor_census.py now asserts rule 3 is closed instead of requiring the cond_br(&is_plain_kind, …) branch to survive — i.e. that no row of RULE3_KINDS carries Rule3Word::RangeReachable, the same set the runtime test rule3_no_kind_still_requires_the_gc_kind_fence pins.

It carries three anti-vacuity guards, because "no row is RangeReachable" is also true of a table that no longer exists: the kind set is re-derived from gc/types.rs and every declared GC_TYPE_* must carry a verdict (a deleted row is red, not silently licensed); a row naming a dead kind is red; and both the RangeReachable variant and the runtime test must still exist, so the property cannot be satisfied by deleting the concept.

Verified by sabotaging the real source rather than trusting the self-test — and with a kind (GC_TYPE_BUFFER) chosen independently of the ones the self-test and the original verification used. Exit 1 naming the kind, exit 0 restored.

One scope caveat, stated because it would otherwise be an overclaim. The removed branch also kept STRING-tagged receivers off the shape compare, and rule 3 is stated only over pointer-tagged values (generic_dispatch.rs:288-297 says so explicitly). So the full licence has two halves — rule 3 closed, and the emitted receiver test being the exact POINTER_TAG test rather than the collapsed pointer-or-string one. The census assertion covers the first. The second is covered by generic_non_length_read_keeps_the_whole_tower in property_get/tests.rs, added by 365975fce1, which asserts against emitted LLVM IR — a stronger instrument than any source-text regex the census could run. The honest claim is therefore "strictly stronger on the axis that can regress", not "strictly stronger".

The cherry-pick conflict, and what I think the resolution is

4dd07fa0a4 conflicts in ic_miss.rs against 7fca77ae49, the inherited-read-cache hook that arrived with merge train 246 (#10834). This is not drift: inherited_read_cache appears 0 times in 4dd07fa0a4's base ic_miss.rs and 6 times in current main's. #10843 was cut before that work existed.

Four of the eight unique commits are blocked behind it (4dd07fa0a4, 270d59d964, 30d541509d, 53522d9ce6 — all runtime-side). The four codegen commits that shape the emitted read apply clean, which is why the census work above could be validated against the final state of its subject.

Mechanically the two changes are compatible. 4dd07fa0a4 adds one validated header read before the is_above_handle_band block:

let gc_header = unsafe { try_read_gc_header(obj as usize) };
let gc_kind = gc_header.map(|h| h.obj_type);

and hook A sits at the top of that block, before the ladder. Keeping both is a matter of ordering the declarations, not choosing between them.

But there is a real substantive point. Hook A's comment says:

"The guard proves the receiver is a GC_TYPE_OBJECT itself, so nothing below has been skipped on its behalf"

Its guard is is_above_handle_band(obj), which is an address-band sanity check and does not prove GC_TYPE_OBJECT. The claim is currently carried by the cache's own internal re-proof (identity word + per-hop shape compares), not by the guard the comment points at.

Under 4dd07fa0a4 that becomes free to fix: gc_kind is already computed one line above, so hook A can gate on gc_kind == Some(GC_TYPE_OBJECT) instead of the band check. That is strictly tighter, it makes the existing comment true, and it costs nothing — the read has already happened.

I have not pushed that resolution yet. Disk on the build host is tight while another train validates, and I would rather land it with cargo check -p perry-runtime --all-targets and the ic_miss / has_property_ic unit tests actually run than commit it on a reading. Recording the analysis here so it is not re-derived.

Once 4dd07fa0a4 is resolved, 270d59d964, 30d541509d and 53522d9ce6 re-pick on top of it — and that also clears a cargo fmt red, which bisects to 365975fce1 and whose fix is 53522d9ce6's own reindent hunk.

Document that marking does not return a relocated owner address. ensure_meta_for_mark roots obj across object_meta_ensure, then discards the reloaded owner address. Because mark_exotic_read_receiver returns (), any address or NaN-box retained across the call can remain stale after a move. State that callers must re-derive any address or value they still need after marking.

Root and reload all live pointers around both mark calls. mark_object_as_prototype and mark_exotic_read_receiver allocate through ensure_meta_for_mark and can move their owner. In object_set_static_prototype_impl, reload both obj_ptr and proto_bits after marking. The later handle scope starts too late to protect them. In js_process_env_impl, keep obj rooted through marking and build boxed from its reloaded address before publishing it to CACHED_ENV. Otherwise later checks, prototype stores, residual-registry entries, or process.env accesses can use a stale address.

The megamorphic hook-A skip does not work. I built both predicates and measured them; neither is sound, so nothing has changed in ic_miss.rs and your +77 accounting stands as you have it.

Posting the evidence because it bears on your m1 row and on the PIC itself.

Predicate 1 — c[PIC_WAY_STATE] < 0 (what I specified): never fires. The megamorphic latch does not engage on the workloads it exists for. Under PERRY_IC_DIAG, a 40-shape site and a 64-shape site both report megamorphic=0 after seventeen million primes, every one new_token with in_ways=0. They stay armed forever. Measured: m1 829.43 → 836.25, i.e. +6.8 of dead predicate.

Predicate 2 — c[0] != 0 (the MRU own-key token; written only by pic_prime_get, which runs only on own-key hits, so an inherited-only site reads 0 forever). This works on the target — m1 829.42 → 759.22 (−70.2), and a variant with an inherited read beside it 1159.40 → 1095.20 — so the +77 is recoverable in principle.

But it fails isolation. A site whose key is own on some receivers and inherited on others loses its inherited hits:

fixture before with
4 receivers, key own on 2 of them 342.50 820.50 +478
8 receivers, pure inherited 404.00 410.00 +6
keyless, 1-level chain 341.00 347.00 +6
keyless, 3-level chain 340.00 346.00 +6

−70 on one shape and +478 on another is not a trade. The PIC word can answer "has this site resolved own keys?"; the skip needs "is an inherited entry likely for this (site, key)?", and the mixed row is exactly where those diverge. The discriminating fact is whether this key is own on this receiver — which is what the own-key search determines, so it only exists after the work the skip is trying to avoid.

Separate finding, for whoever owns the PIC: #7753 built the megamorphic latch because "a rotation wider than the ways hold never hits one, so the compare sequence becomes pure cost — measured at +37% on a 7-shape site". A 64-shape site reporting megamorphic=0 after 17 M primes with in_ways=0 on every one is running the way compares on every read and never hitting one. If that is not intended, the +37% the latch was built to prevent is being paid today — and it may be a component of the +77 that started this.

Not chasing it from here; flagging it as yours.

Follow-up: I root-caused the latch finding and filed it as #10863 so it survives outside this thread. It is not what I first described — it is sharper and it is mechanical.

A read site whose hot key is in the OVERFLOW region can never latch megamorphic. Control fixture differing only in which key is read, 64 shapes each, 30 M reads:

hot key primes way_state
INLINE (first slot) 23,345,152 megamorphic=23119371 (99.1%)
OVERFLOW (last slot) 16,886,528 megamorphic=0, armed=16886526

In pic_prime_get, the consecutive-eviction counter that drives the latch is only reached through cascade, and cascade is false whenever the MRU slot is overflow-encoded — so the function returns before the counter can advance. #9287 suppressed that cascade deliberately (an encoded slot in a way would be a wild load), and the unintended consequence is that those sites are kept out of the latch as well as out of the ways. They keep the armed state earned during warm-up, and the emitted gate keeps comparing ways that can never hit.

That is precisely the cost #7753 built the latch to prevent and measured at +37% on a 7-shape site — and my m1 fixture reads z, the last key, so it is an overflow site. Your +77 may be partly this rather than hook A, which would be worth separating before you attribute it: the same fixture with the hot key moved to the first slot latches normally and should not show it.

Details, repro and two untried directions in #10863. Not mine to fix.

Mix all class_id bits into the cache index.

The index uses product bits 40 through 48. Because class_id is shifted by 43, only its lowest six bits can affect those bits. The synthetic allocator increments IDs sequentially, so IDs separated by 64 can share a shape and key and select the same slot. Alternating those receivers can miss, walk the prototype chain, and overwrite the slot on every read.

Mix class_id before combining it with the other inputs. Add regression coverage with at least 65 sequential synthetic class IDs.

…ty read

Every descriptor install, per-key removal and bulk clear on an ordinary
object transitions its ShapeId (#10824), and the prime side already refuses
a descriptor-bearing receiver, so the ShapeId compare subsumes the
OBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORS test. The GC-kind test becomes a single obj_type
byte compare on every target; the packed kind+descriptor i32 word and the
native-endian i16 reserved-halfword pair are gone with the flag.
#10828 closed rule 3: for any POINTER-tagged value that passes the tag test,
the u32 at payload +4 equals a live object ShapeId only if the cell is a
GC_TYPE_OBJECT carrying that shape. The ShapeId compare therefore proves the
kind, and the header word at receiver-8 is no longer loaded on the way to
the slot. pic.recv_hdr is gone; the compact-word load moves into pic.token.
The one key that still reads the kind byte is .size, only to serve a native
Map/Set from its own arm; a non-collection receiver takes the ShapeId
compare like every other key.
…d's shape-gated hit

#10826 made every successful delete a shape transition: the receiver's +4
word always changes and, when the keys array is owned, the predecessor id
is retired. A compact word primed before a delete therefore cannot match
after it, and a ShapeId hit proves the slot it names is live. Every inline
slot is born TAG_UNDEFINED, so nothing but a delete ever writes a hole into
one. The hit block now ends in the slot load and a branch to the merge;
pic.hit.deleted is gone. The hole stays in the slot: the way path, the
spill arm and every keys-array walker keep treating it as absent.
…ip the closure/buffer/typed-array ladder for ordinary objects

On a read site that sees many shapes every read is a miss, and the miss
handler walked the closure probe (magic read + accessor side table), the
buffer registry and the typed-array registry for every heap receiver
before reaching the object path: 33% of such a read (measured by #10833),
against 3% for the key scan. Those kinds are distinct GC kinds
(shape_rule3.rs classifies all 21), so one validated header read decides
the ladder; a GC_TYPE_OBJECT goes straight to the object path, which now
also takes its kind, descriptor and forwarding bits from that same read
instead of three more. The elements-backed Array-subclass probe is gated
on the key first. The full-outline twin (pic_outlined_mru_hit) mirrors
the three emitted guard removals, and its hit is gated on the exact
POINTER tag like the inline one.

Two latent defects found by #10833:
- js_in_operator_presence_ic resolved its cache before deciding whether it
  could arm, leaving word 0 at zero for a prototype-chain true; the emitted
  guard then matched any unstamped receiver (parent_class_id 0), so
  "k" in {} answered true at such a site. The cache is now resolved with
  word 0 pre-seeded to IN_PRESENCE_UNARMED (1 << 32) before publication
  (pic_slot_resolve_init).
- keys_find_slot_by_bytes_resolved scanned forward, contradicting #10595's
  most-derived-wins rule that its two twins already follow; it scans
  back-to-front now and is pinned by the #10595 test.

test-files/test_parity_read_guards.ts is the differential probe for all
three guard removals against node.
… the shape word from memory

For every key but .length the tag test is the exact POINTER test, so the
handle is bits ^ POINTER_TAG rather than bits & POINTER_MASK: the same
value on the pointer path, and the value the tag test is computed from, so
the mov $0x30/bzhi pair after the compare is gone. The hot ShapeId load
now has a single use (the compare): pic.token.miss re-reads the word through
an atomic load that GVN will not merge, which lets isel fold the hot load
into the compare itself.
An absent-key miss falls through to js_object_get_field_by_name, whose own
dispatch still probes the registries for an object receiver (eight probes,
measured); that ladder is not this change's, so the test asserts the count
only across the own-key miss, which is the read the skip was measured on.
…er-primed edge, before calling out

A read whose key lives on the prototype chain is never an own slot on the
receiver's shape, so a site that only reads such a key never resolves its
per-site cache, and every read of it reaches pic.token.ways with `present`
false. That edge used to go straight to the exit, where the read paid the
slow entry's prologue and dispatch (79 of an inherited read's 204
instructions, measured by the inherited-reads lane) just to reach the same
lookup inside get_field_ic_miss_impl. It now asks
js_inherited_read_cache_hit_f64(masked receiver, interned key) first
(#10834/#10842's cache); TAG_HOLE is its decline sentinel, so the answer is
one compare with the served edge as the true edge, and a decline continues
to the one exit exactly as before. Nothing primes from emitted code. The
call is a pure state read: declared in runtime_decls, a leaf in
gc_call_effects and root_reload, and in the dominance checker's
NONCOLLECTING set.

Placement, measured: asking on every path into the exit charged each
own-key miss a declining probe (+88 per read on a 64-shape site, +89 on a
spill read). The never-primed edge is the one only an inherited-only site
takes, so every other path is unchanged to the instruction. Typed-feedback
builds keep the old edge, so their record edges stay byte-identical.

The full-outline twin deliberately does not get the hook: it is already
inside the runtime, and its miss handler asks the same cache first.

…urvives

The census required `cond_br(&is_plain_kind, &tok_label, &cold_label)` in the
generic read PIC -- the `obj_type == GC_TYPE_OBJECT` fence in front of the
ShapeId compare. #10843 deletes it, and the census refused the tree.

It was right to refuse and the removal is right. #10828 closed rule 3 (no
pointer-tagged non-object cell holds a ShapeId-range value at payload +4), so
a successful shape compare proves the kind by itself and the header load is
redundant. Under that object model, asserting the branch asserts nothing about
safety.

Assert the licence instead: no row of `RULE3_KINDS` in
`object/shape_rule3.rs` carries `Rule3Word::RangeReachable`. Stronger on the
axis that can regress -- the branch could only notice its own deletion, this
notices a NEW kind whose +4 word can alias a live ShapeId, and names it.

Guarded against a vacuous pass: the kind set is re-derived from `gc/types.rs`
and must be fully classified, stale rows are red, and both the
`RangeReachable` variant and the runtime test that walks the table must still
exist. Two sabotage arms: reopen rule 3 on `DateCell`, and delete its row.

Landed as v0.5.1629 — merge commit 89dd494429 (via #10875), together with the other two PRs on the same read path.

Expedited at the owner's request: merged on the twelve-gate set plus targeted tests rather than a full train sweep.

Integration work this needed, recorded so it is not re-derived:

Evidence and its limits: twelve gates green including -D warnings --all-targets; inherited_read_cache 31 tests, proto_validity 10, prototype_chain 11 all pass; object:: is 487 pass / 1 fail, and that failure reproduces on main with zero train commits — it is v0.5.1627's resolve_prototype_addr ordering dependency, tracked separately. Not run: the full release unit suites, the compiler-output suites, repsel_census, and the gap sweep.
