…eturn) Runtime string-producing functions drop the per-call-site 24-byte out-pointer stack slot for a packed-u128 return-by-value (lo=ptr, hi=len), with cap derived at the call site (0 for literals, len for allocating producers). User-function str returns keep the hidden sret convention (copy-elision G1/G2 boundary), verified by CLIF pin and disassembly. Implements spec 2026-08-25 §2 (as amended).

The Phase 0 string ABI returns packed u128 from runtime calls; Cranelift's x64 ABI panics on any i128 signature unless LLVM ABI extensions are enabled, which broke the ubuntu, windows, ASan, and Valgrind CI legs (aarch64 lowers i128 natively and was unaffected). Enable the flag in both ISA construction paths: aot_shared_flags() for the object pipeline and JITBuilder::with_flags for the JIT. With it, an i128 lowers to two i64 halves in rax:rdx on both SysV and WindowsFastcall, matching the Rust ABI of the no_mangle runtime fns. Add cross-target ABI tests (dev-dependency on cranelift-codegen with x86+arm64 features so foreign triples resolve on any host): one pins that all three supported targets compile an i128 return with the production flags, one pins the panic without the flag so an upstream gating change forces a re-audit.
Matches the fibonacci table convention (ratio against the fastest candidate, computed from hyperfine means). doubling_concat's baseline is Ryo AOT (3.6 ms), the only table where Rust is not fastest.
Fresh hyperfine + RSS numbers (macOS 26.6.2, 2026-08-26). fibonacci: Ryo AOT 354.9 ms now sits at 1.35x Rust (was 1.41x; Rust 1.97.1 -> 1.98.0 moved the baseline too). eager_destruction: Ryo AOT RSS 2.86 MB (was 4.42 MB, -35%), JIT 6.06 MB (was 7.50 MB, -19%) — the post-ABI README refresh deferred at final review; efficiency column rebased to Rust Scope-Based, fixing the manual-drop direction mislabel. Top-level README highlights updated to match (nearly 3x less heap memory).
JITBuilder flags now include opt_level=speed, enabling Cranelift's egraph pipeline (constant folding, algebraic simplification, GVN/LICM) for JIT-compiled code, matching the AOT configuration. JIT rows re-measured across all eight benchmarks (2026-08-26): collatz JIT 335.5 -> 220.1 ms (now at parity with AOT 219.3); fibonacci JIT 348.8 ms (1.33x Rust); others within noise. string_slicing JIT stays ~10 ms, so the I-158 JIT regression is not an unoptimized-codegen artifact. Workspace tests, clippy -Dwarnings, and fmt all green.

Two ownership-pass holes miscompiled heap-str last uses: - outermost_branch_of only descended into branch arm bodies, so a last read in a condition/bounds kept its raw anchor and the sweep fired the owner's Free at the first statement end inside an arm — freeing the buffer mid-loop (UAF, wrong comparison counts). It now treats condition/bounds subtrees as contained and sees through the ExprStmt wrapper sema puts around the assert-desugared if. - visit_expr never dispatched statement-tagged instructions in expression position, so the assert-desugared ExprStmt(IfStmt) was never walked: the condition read recorded no use, producing a spurious W0001 plus a dead-store Free and a stale last-use Free (double free before the assert). visit_expr now routes IfStmt / WhileLoop / ForRange to their statement handlers. Walking the assert-if exposed panic-message StrConsts (borrowed-scalar ABI) to the loop-exit defensive emit; they are now removed from `states`, not just `temp_owners`, since they are never owners. Pins: sidecar unit tests for both shapes, JIT integration tests, one AOT test. Also files I-160 for the adjacent heap-temp-in-condition leak found while investigating.
An anonymous heap temp produced in an if condition (e.g. `if s[i:i+3] == p + "x":` in a loop) was freed only inside the taken arm: the consumer-anchored Free fired via the end-of-statement sweep there, and freed_at then suppressed the merge-block sweep, so every not-taken path leaked the temp per iteration. The anonymous-temp Free pass now re-anchors such a temp after the innermost enclosing if via three helpers in ownership/loops.rs: - enclosing_if_main_cond finds the if whose main condition subtree contains the temp (elif conditions excluded: the temp does not exist on all paths through them). - if_may_fall_through gates the re-anchor on the merge block being reachable (else-less if, or some arm that neither returns nor jumps out). - body_may_jump_out detects break/continue escaping the enclosing loop without descending into nested loops. Verified by CLIF: both frees now land in the merge block reached from taken and not-taken paths. Pins: sidecar unit test plus an ASan smoke fixture (cond_heap_temp_in_loop) guarding the leak on Linux CI.
With I-156 fixed, the string benchmarks return to their natural shapes: - string_slicing: count_fox takes `str` (implicit borrow, matching the Rust &[u8] / Swift slice structure) instead of `strview`, and the length assert inlines `s.len()` — both repro shapes from the issue now run as-is. - string_building / doubling_concat: the `n = s.len(); assert(n == ...)` binding inlines to `assert(s.len() == ...)` — the inline assert is now the heap-str last use and compiles correctly. Verified JIT and AOT for all three; asserts pass (pre-fix these miscompiled: wrong count under AOT, SIGTRAP on the inline assert). Also drops the stale "projection pattern / views flow in" sentence from the string_slicing README.
Re-ran string_building and string_slicing after the I-156 workaround removal and recorded the fresh numbers (tables now carry latest results only; history lives in git). string_building is flat within noise. string_slicing AOT moved 5.3 to 5.8 ms vs the earlier same-day run — verified not caused by the strview-to-str param change: both variants' scan loops compile to instruction-identical CLIF (the str version merely passes a third, unused register) and a same-compiler A/B ties at 5.9 ms; the residual delta predates the ownership fixes or is run environment. Files the per-iteration-call optimizations the CLIF inspection surfaced: - I-161: inline tiny runtime string ops (pack_pair/from_literal, __ryo_slice, short-literal ryo_str_eq) instead of extern calls. - I-162: literal str values are re-materialized per use, per loop iteration. - I-163: ryo_str_free emitted for known-static (cap=0) values.

…ed fix Record why the benchmark trails Rust ~12.5x (O(n^2) allocate-copy-free per iteration vs amortized push_str — semantics, not codegen), why it is deliberately not an ISSUES.md entry, and the fix path: in-place concat-reassign on uniquely-referenced buffers once the SSO/COW work lands. Adds the missing in-place concat-reassign bullet to the roadmap's SSO/COW entry, with the benchmark named as the tracking measure.
Record why the scan trails Rust ~3.5x: four runtime-boundary calls per loop iteration (slice, literal materialization, eq, no-op static-temp free) plus spec-mandated overflow guards and UTF-8 boundary checks — codegen quality, not semantics, tracked as I-161/162/163 and I-142 in ISSUES.md. Points Milestone 27's bare 'Performance optimization passes' bullet at the concrete tracked work, with the benchmark named as the tracking measure.
The version echo relied on awk's fixed field 4, which only matches the Apple toolchain's 'Apple Swift version X' first line; Linux toolchains print 'Swift version X' (number in field 3). Scan for the adjacent 'Swift version' token pair and print the following field instead. Applied to all seven scripts with a Swift candidate (eager_destruction has none). Verified against Apple, Linux, and swift-driver-prefixed formats.
The merged heap_str_last_use_shapes_aot program trailed the scan loop with assert(s.len() == ...), so the slice comparison was never the last use of s on the AOT leg — the shape that miscompiled under AOT (wrong count) in I-156 went unpinned there, while the JIT side already had both shapes as separate tests. Split into heap_str_last_use_in_loop_slice_comparison_aot (slice comparison is the final use, no read after the loop) and heap_str_last_use_in_inline_assert_aot (existing program verbatim).

Summary
Was this response helpful? React with 👍 or 👎 to help us improve CodSpeedBot. |
The CodSpeed codegen benches regressed +34-55% when bc962ef switched the JIT to opt_level=speed: Context::optimize runs the egraph pass and triggers extra IR verification that was previously skipped entirely. That trade (compile time for runtime — collatz JIT 335 -> 220 ms, AOT parity) is intentional; the verifier cost is not. enable_verifier is a compiler-developer aid for malformed IR — users cannot act on its failures. Gate it on cfg!(debug_assertions) in both aot_shared_flags and new_jit (the wasmtime pattern): debug builds and the entire test suite keep full verification, release binaries skip it. Generated code is unchanged, so AOT benchmark rows cannot move; JIT rows include compile time and will drift a few percent — benchmark re-run deferred to the pre-release checkpoint.

Summary
Phase 0 leftovers + runtime ABI modernization + benchmark suite, per the Phase 0 design spec.
Runtime ABI change (
7d0a047): the seven string-producing runtime functions (ryo_str_from_literal,ryo_str_concat,__ryo_slice,ryo_str_from_view,ryo_int_to_str,ryo_float_to_str,ryo_bool_to_str) now return{ptr, len}packed in a singleu128(lo = ptr, hi = len) under the Rust ABI — a true register return (rax:rdx / x0:x1) on every supported target.capis derived at the codegen call site (0static sentinel for literals,lenfor allocating producers). This eliminates the per-call-site 24-byte stack slot, out-pointer, and reload. User-functionstrreturns keep the hidden sret convention (copy-elision G1/G2 boundary), pinned at CLIF level (clif_user_str_return_keeps_sret) and verified by disassembly.Plan-time finding recorded in the spec: a 24-byte
#[repr(C)]struct return lowers to hidden sret on all targets (and 16-byte structs sret under MSVC x64), so the original "three scalar returns in registers" was unreachable for a Rust-compiled runtime — packedu128is the register-returning shape everywhere. Cranelift 0.135.1 cannot express noreturn/memory-access call annotations, so those sub-items were dropped per the spec's own contingency.Benchmark suite: six new Ryo-only benchmarks (AOT + JIT), each with a hyperfine runner and README:
string_building,doubling_concat,many_small_strings,string_slicing,mandelbrot,collatz.benchmarks/README.mdgains the suite listing and a manual checkpoint convention (run before each release and after any change touching generated-code shape).Roadmap: M8.4.2
bytesnow targets the post-fix ABI; the codegen-performance roadmap's Phase 2 is marked inlining-only (the ABI item landed ahead of schedule via this branch).ISSUES.md: I-156 (heap-
strlast-use miscompiles found while authoring the benchmarks — the benchmark programs deliberately avoid those shapes), I-157 (Linux AOT glibc coupling), I-158 (string_slicingJIT +53% post-ABI regression, disclosed in its README), I-159 (W0001 false positive on method-call receivers).Verification
