Codegen + runtime, stacked on #9918 (107d40adb: the regex site key, the source-table removal and the eviction fix). Written by codex from the campaign's per-pattern regex table on cc; gates not complete on the final tree (the authoring host ran out of disk) — perrymaster's ladder, the bundle identity and the rows will be appended here.

Why

On cc's 3300-char reply the per-pattern regex table shows one row doing almost everything: the 12,807-byte emoji class /…/g is constructed 1,068,858 times, built once, tested 1,068,858 times — a fresh RegExp object per .test call in the string-width grapheme loop (if(g54.default().test(O)), where g54.default is emoji-regex's () => /…/g). That is 60 MB of 56-byte headers per reply, 1.07 M side-table inserts and 0.9 M removes, and the dead-owner / regex-death finalization the minors pay for them (≈ 3.4 % of the main thread on the best bundle; js_regexp_new ≈ 6 % inclusive). The site key already resolves the program without a compile; the object was still allocated per evaluation.

What changes

  • A HIR RegExpTest whose receiver is exactly a regex literal is the non-escaping shape: the literal exists only as this call's receiver and only the boolean result is published. It lowers to a per-site entry that allocates and records one header on the cold evaluation and reuses it afterwards. The site table owns a strong raw root that copying minors rewrite.
  • Every evaluation validates the realm's RegExp.prototype, its canonical test closure and the own-slot index recorded at intrinsic installation; anything else declines to the generic path with a counter. For g / y regexes lastIndex is reset to zero before each test, which is what a fresh literal observes; the object never escapes, so the post-test lastIndex is unobservable.
  • The bundle's <zero-arg-call>().test(arg) shape keeps the real call and member lookup and records the callee's function identity; a mismatch declines. Direct f(), nested factories and namespace-member factories are covered.
  • [regex-diag] gains site_test_no_alloc= and site_test_declined=(patched_prototype=…, callee_mismatch=…, non_literal=…). PERRY_GC_CENSUS gains regex.content_cache, regex.literal_sites and regex.site_test_headers, so regex retention finally has census rows (the campaign's filter had matched nothing).

Tests (named; sabotage stated in the campaign report)

Codegen: direct_literal_test_uses_the_site_header_and_post_get_dispatch, escaping_literal_is_not_transformed_and_keeps_one_stateful_receiver, direct_factory_call_records_function_identity_and_uses_the_caller_site. Runtime: direct_global_site_allocates_one_header_and_resets_last_index, direct_sticky_site_starts_each_evaluation_at_zero, patched_regexp_prototype_test_declines_on_the_next_call, direct_factory_site_reuses_only_the_recorded_callee, nested_exact_factory_cannot_claim_a_different_callees_site, namespace_member_factory_site_is_covered, caught_throw_restores_an_orphaned_factory_site_frame, site_header_root_is_rewritten_by_a_copying_minor.

Predictions (falsifiers on the cc reply)

new= 1,074,006 → ≤ 10,000; site_test_no_alloc= ≈ 1,068,858; header_bytes 60 MB → ≈ 0.3 MB; ptr_ins / ptr_rm ≈ 0; test= unchanged; all decline buckets 0; paired turn CPU −4…−6 % at 3300 with peak RSS lower; js_regexp_new, regex_header_clear_dead_for_gc and the dead-owner regex path gone from the profile's top.

Rebase

Rebased onto main on top of the rebased #9918: head 0ba2bff45abb0d907f (only #9918's seven commits and this branch's two remain above main). Runtime suite on the rebased stack: 3,275 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored; the codegen suite and the builds run on perrymaster before the bundle.

Measured (perrymaster RX2, 2026-09-07; control = main 616a2cb, arm = this head on the rebased #9918, same configuration, no tier, no cache)

  • Gate: codegen tests rc 0 (the four regex_site_test_tests names), runtime lib suite 3,263 passed / 0 failed one thread, the ten named tests ok, archives rc 0, bundle 12:56 wall (control 12:56).
  • Identity: 1,607 site-test call sites and the three exports in the arm bundle, 0 in the control.
  • Regex diag, one 3300-char reply: constructions 1,006,045 → 4,477; site_hit 1,004,974 → 3,408; site_test_no_alloc 1,028,535; declined 0; pattern_bytes 12.8 GB → 113 KB; header_bytes 72.4 MB → 0.25 MB; tests unchanged (2.0 M); the 12,807-char emoji /g literal 1,000,897 constructions → 1 with 1,027,864 tests on one header; cache_clears 2 → 0.
  • Rows (5 rotating 3300 turns): −3.9 / −0.8 / −3.1 / −4.8 / −4.8 % CPU, median −3.9 % (2.49–2.55 → 2.38–2.47 s); peak RSS 609–627 → 580–595 MB (−6 %), settled 486–505 → 460–477 MB (−40 MB); 400-char turns: CPU noise (−2 / +11 / +5 %), peak −30 MB, settled −25 MB; after 120 s idle 500 → 461 MB.
  • Profile: js_regexp_new (2.07 % self), regex_header_clear_dead_for_gc (2.51 %) and owner_is_dead_copied_minor_from_space (1.94 %) leave the top 25; the site path costs 0.47 % self in total.
  • Open number: idle census side_table_bytes 88.3 MB (arm) vs 82.4 MB (control), +6 MB — presumably the site-pinned program sets beyond the 512-entry content cache (the census has no regex-keyed rows yet, so this is a hypothesis, not a measurement), against −40 MB settled RSS.

CI-fix commits and local verification (2026-09-08)

The rebased head initially failed the root-holder custody audit (three duplicated REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_*_SLOT registrations from the rebase) and, on the same head, one compiled test: async_hooks_constructors_expose_real_prototype_methods. 54c9373 de-duplicates the registrations (and moves the new module's one raw-handle site onto across_mut). Verified locally with freshly built static wrappers: cargo test -p perry --test issue_6764_async_hooks_prototype_metadata → 1 passed, 0 failed. Custody and raw-handle audits pass with their self-tests. The measured commit 90e2131 is unchanged by patch.

Local gates on a93908a (macOS arm64, 2026-09-08): runtime lib suite one thread 3,275 passed / 0 failed / 4 ignored; cargo build --release -p perry-runtime --features wasm-host ok; custody and raw-handle audits with self-tests ok; rustfmt clean.

The +6 MB side-table delta, explained (RXC2, 2026-09-08)

With regex-keyed census rows (companion diag PR): all regex tables together hold 0.64 MB on the rebased head (site table: 25 sites, 25 rooted headers, 22 pinned programs, 0.001 MB). The RX2-era +6 MB was object.property_descriptors map capacity on the old head abb0d90 (11.10 MB vs 3.04 MB at the same entry count), which the rebased head does not carry (3.04 MB again). The −40 MB settled RSS stands with no offsetting growth.

Regex literal site optimization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Codegen site lowering
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/*
The compiler emits site keys and specialized dispatch for direct literal and exact factory .test calls.
Shared program ownership and cache
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/{compile,escape,lazy,properties,site_cache,site_key}.rs
The runtime stores matcher programs in one shared bundle and uses bounded content and literal-site caches.
Site-test runtime and safety
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/site_test.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/exception.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/*
The runtime validates cached sites, handles factory identity, rewrites GC roots, and restores factory state after exceptions.
Validation and reporting
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/tests*.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/hot_diag.rs, scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json, cc-perf-campaign/*, changelog.d/*
Tests, diagnostics, GC holder records, changelog data, and performance reports cover the new paths and cache behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a9390

The current implementation can crash or misbehave during regex method lookup and stringification, and some specialized regexes can silently return incorrect results after cache eviction. These runtime issues should be fixed before merge.

Replace whole-map overflow clears with one-entry eviction, and keep
content-cache entries pinned while a recorded literal site refers to them.
Only dynamic or displaced-site entries can leave the bounded table.

Add a sabotage test that crosses both cache bounds, collects dead nursery
headers, and proves the recorded literal does not rebuild.

Cache and root one RegExp header for literal-only test call sites, while
validating the builtin method on every evaluation and preserving generic
fallback semantics for patched prototypes and changed factory callees.

Recognize exact zero-argument regex factories by their HIR body and pair
cross-function sites with the resolved native callee identity. Reset global
and sticky lastIndex before each cached test, expose decline diagnostics, and
register all regex cache tables with the GC census.
Document the implementation SHA, source map, validation status, expected
diagnostic movement, and the exact full-recompile measurement request.
Keep the merge-train's existing RegExp prototype holder verdicts instead of
registering the same three holders twice. Express the literal-site canonical
check and its post-call handle reload with the sanctioned across_mut form.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011dhBmdn4vGgNibjo3oZqTo

142-171: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cache the no-victim result for saturated caches. When SITE_CACHE contains 1024 pinned entries, make_room calls evict_one_dynamic for each distinct-content miss. evict_one_dynamic calls site_key::references_content for every entry, and references_content scans the 1024-slot SITE_KEY_TABLE. One failed eviction can therefore inspect up to 1,048,576 site-table slots, and repeated dynamic constructions repeat this scan. Cache the no-dynamic-victim state and invalidate it whenever site_key::record inserts or replaces a site record.

Root receiver before the regex method lookup

On the patched/generic path, js_regexp_site_test_get_method roots its parameter locally, then calls js_dyn_index_get, which may run a getter and move the receiver. The caller’s SSA value remains unchanged. Both code-generation sites root receiver only after this call, so adopt_emitted stores stale bits that reread_emitted later passes to js_regexp_site_test_dispatch. Move the lookup inside with_rooted_group, root receiver first, and pass its reread value at both sites.

When regex-engine is disabled, Lines 578-579 omit the regex rows, but this test still runs and fails. Use #[cfg(all(test, feature = "regex-engine"))].

Proposed fix
-#[cfg(test)]
+#[cfg(all(test, feature = "regex-engine"))]
 mod regex_census_tests {
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
#[cfg(test)]
#[cfg(all(test, feature = "regex-engine"))]

Repair missing specialized programs before compile publishes the header bundle. get_or_compile_regex can return the REGEX_CACHE never-match placeholder while an independently capped FANCY_CACHE entry is absent. The code then constructs Programs with fancy: None, and matcher_kind() selects Standard, so a lookbehind pattern can match nothing. If REPEAT_MATCHER_CACHE evicts its entry, the same path selects Standard and can produce incorrect quantified-capture results. Reuse the completeness logic from lazy::build_and_install_programs before constructing Programs.

Root the RegExp receiver and source string across the getters. js_regexp_get_source(re) allocates and can relocate the RegExpHeader, so js_regexp_get_flags(re) can receive a stale pointer. Root re before the first getter and root src before the second getter. Reload both current pointers through their handles before use.

Landed on main via merge train #9981. Validated as a tree: 77 of 80 lint gates pass, and perry-runtime/codegen/hir/stdlib all green (5,999 tests, 0 failures).

The three non-passing gates are accounted for: public-baseline is pre-existing on main (verified on a pristine worktree; red since 2026-07-29), and the two API docs gates are an artifact of this session's CARGO_TARGET_DIR override — with the binary where regen_api_docs.sh expects it, regeneration succeeds and the drift check is clean. Thanks!
