Closes #9890.

The synthesized-constructor fallback for a parent without a callable symbol lowers the method body into its LLVM function and then returns early. That path discarded the inline-cache globals, raw globals, and pending declarations referenced by the emitted body, and it failed to advance the module counters. If reached by a body that creates one of those artifacts, LLVM sees an undefined value or a later site reuses its symbol name.

This moves function artifact extraction and module publication into one shared path used by the fallback, ordinary instance-method completion, and static-method completion. The bundle also carries buffer-alias counts and native-representation records, so every artifact produced before an exit is published together.

Validation:

  • focused artifact publication test passed, covering the IC counter, buffer-alias counter, declaration, IC global, and raw global
  • full perry-codegen suite passed: 1,431 unit tests, all integration tests, and doc tests
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: all 64 gates passed; 2 CI-only commands skipped
  • no version bump

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Preserved generated declarations, inline-cache data, raw globals, and module counters when lowering constructors through the fallback path.
    • Prevented module-level artifacts from being lost during method and static method compilation.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage verifying that generated artifacts are correctly retained.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The codegen changes centralize extraction and publication of lowered-function artifacts. Constructor fallback, normal method lowering, and static method lowering now use the shared helpers. A unit test verifies published counters, globals, and declarations.

Constructor fallback, normal method lowering, and static method lowering use the shared helpers. A unit test checks emitted counters, globals, and declarations. The changelog documents constructor artifact preservation.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 49a4f

Constructor fallback now publishes generated module artifacts, preventing missing IR symbols and counter reuse. The implementation is in place, but a direct fallback regression test is still needed to guard this specific code-generation path.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a constructor-fallback regression test.

This test calls publish_lowered_fn_artifacts with a fixture. It does not execute compile_method through the no-callable-parent return path at Lines 958-972.

Add a test that lowers a derived constructor with no callable parent constructor. Make the lowered body emit an artifact. Assert that the generated IR defines or declares every referenced symbol and that the module counters advance.

Landed on main via merge train #9901. Validated as a tree: 64/64 lint gates, and perry-runtime/codegen/hir/stdlib all green (5,944 tests, 0 failures). Thanks!

…S#9890 is fixed

The comment at the `Expr::RegExp` lowering described the artifact-discarding
bail-out in `codegen/method.rs` in the present tense. PerryTS#9896 fixed it: every
return there now goes through `publish_lowered_fn_artifacts`, which drains all
three collections and restores `llmod.ic_counter`, closing the duplicate
site-id half as well.

Rewritten as the obligation rather than the bug — every lowering exit must
PUBLISH `typed_parse_rodata`, and a future early return that drops it breaks
this site loudly at the in-process LLVM parse. A comment describing a hazard
that no longer exists is a false lead, which is the thing it was written to
prevent.
