codegen: field-push write-back on handle bits, not JS equality (#8897) - #8931
Conversation
…TS#8897) `field_push_local_bind` expanded `this.f.push(v)` into a receiver local, an inline `ArrayPush`, and `if (__push_recv !== __push_recv_old) this.f = __push_recv`. That guard is dead: a growing append leaves the old head as a forwarding stub to the new one and JS equality sees through forwarding (perry matches Node), so the field kept the stub and every later `this.f.length` / `this.f[i]` walked it through the dynamic property path — a 2.5x cold-phase regression in the wolf-ecs entity cycle that decayed only as the arrays stopped growing. `Expr::ArrayPush` now carries `field_writeback: Option<String>`; the transform emits two statements (`let __push_recv = this.f; push`) and codegen compares the local's handle bits before and after the append — the one comparison that does not see through forwarding — re-pointing `this.f` through the ordinary class-field store when they differ, behind an inline plain-object header gate (frozen / sealed / no-extend / descriptor-bearing receivers keep the stub rather than risk a throw or an accessor). The tiny-method rule in `hot_callees` counts the two-statement expansion as the one authored statement; `stable_hash` hashes the new field and the monomorph substitution propagates it.

- Around line 80-85: Update tiny_method_stmt_count to count only complete
field-push expansions: an adjacent Stmt::Let followed by Expr::ArrayPush,
sharing the same local ID and with field_writeback set. Do not subtract
statements merely because a local is named FIELD_PUSH_RECEIVER_NAME, and add a
collision test covering an ordinary local named __push_recv.
In `@crates/perry-hir/src/ir/expr.rs`:
- Around line 1603-1608: Update the push lowering using field_writeback so it
only writes back when the field still contains the captured receiver, preserving
assignments to this.<field> made during argument evaluation; otherwise skip the
write-back. Locate the receiver-rebindability logic around
push_receiver_is_rebindable and add a regression test covering an argument that
updates the same field.

Reading: the cold-phase pathology (#8897's stub-walking Warm-up curve (per-call ms, entity cycle, dev box): fix |
…ead; count only complete expansions Review follow-ups on PerryTS#8931: - The write-back arm re-reads `this.<field>` (`apush.field.still_held`) and stores only when its bits equal the captured pre-push head. The receiver is read before the argument is evaluated, so an argument that assigns the field itself (`this.f.push(this.reset())`) must win over the repair — and now does; a collection that already rewrote the field to the moved array skips a redundant store the same way. - `hot_callees`' tiny-method rule counts an expansion only as the complete adjacent shape (`let __push_recv = this.f` + the `ArrayPush` on that id with the same field as its write-back), so an author's own local named `__push_recv` cannot shrink a method into the hot-allocation set. - e2e regression tests (`issue_8897_field_push_writeback.rs`): the issue's reproducer, the argument-reassigns-field case at 0/16/64 fills, and a frozen receiver — all node-identical output.

Merged. This is a fix to a bug I let through. When I audited #8897 I reasoned that on a reallocating append the two locals would differ and the On the repair's safety gate, which is the part that could have gone wrong: it fires only for a receiver that is POINTER-tagged, above the handle band, I checked the two propagation claims rather than trusting them, since a missed one is silent: Validation — hir 355/0, transform 115/0, codegen 1331/0, runtime 2765/0, One thing worth recording: the compile tier came back red on my first run ( |
Fixes #8897.
Root cause
field_push_local_bind(#8897's merge) expandedthis.f.push(v)into a receiver local, an inlineArrayPush, andif (__push_recv !== __push_recv_old) this.f = __push_recv. That guard is dead: a growing append leaves the old head as a forwarding stub to the new one and JS equality sees through forwarding (perry matches Node:const a = []; let b = a; b.push(...×100); a === bistrue), so the field kept the stub and every laterthis.f.length/this.f[i]walked it through the dynamic property path (js_dynamic_object_get_property(obj, "length", 6)on agc_flags=0x82receiver — 224kGC_TYPE_STRINGallocations per 300 entity-cycle calls). The 10-line reproducer on the issue (SparseSet+ an unrelatedother.packed = []) shows it in isolation.Fix
Expr::ArrayPushgainsfield_writeback: Option<String>(stable_hashhashes it, the monomorph substitution propagates it).let __push_recv = this.f; __push_recv.push(v)— with the field name on the node. No HIR-level compare.expr/array_push.rs::lower) wraps the existing lowering: it captures the receiver local's handle bits as an integer before the append, compares after (icmp eq i64— the one comparison that does not see through forwarding), and on change runs three gates, all off the hot path:apush.field.deref—thisis a pointer-tagged heapGC_TYPE_OBJECTwith none ofFROZEN|SEALED|NO_EXTEND|HAS_DESCRIPTORS(0x807) set, so the repair can never throw or run an accessor (such receivers keep the stub as before);apush.field.still_held—this.fis re-read and must still hold the captured pre-push head: the receiver is read before the argument is evaluated, so an argument that assigns the field itself (this.f.push(this.reset())) wins, and a collection that already rewrote the field skips a redundant store;apush.field.writeback— the ordinary class-field store (IC + barrier +js_class_field_set_fallback).hot_calleestiny-method rule counts an expansion only as the complete adjacent shape (let+ArrayPushon that id with the same field as its write-back), so an author's own__push_recvlocal cannot shrink a method into the hot-allocation set.No runtime changes.
