Diagnostics only, stacked on #9958 (a93908a). 49f551f accounts the regex tables in the SIGUSR2 heap census (REGEX_POINTERS, the program/fancy/repeat caches, validated patterns, the content cache, the literal-site key table, expando owners, matcher kinds), reconciled with side_table_bytes; 5e80791 adds the #9958 site-table rows (sites, rooted headers, pinned programs). Nothing on a non-diagnostic path changes. Written by codex (0.154.0-alpha.3).

Why

RX2 measured #9958 at −3.9 % CPU and −40 MB settled RSS against main, with one number unexplained: idle side_table_bytes 88.3 MB on the arm vs 82.4 MB on the control, and the census had no regex-keyed rows to say where the +6 MB lived. The obvious hypothesis (the site table pinning programs beyond the 512-entry content cache) needed a measurement.

What the rows say (perrymaster, one 3300-char cc reply, 120 s idle, SIGUSR2, on #9958's rebased head)

regex.pointers 1,663 live headers / 0.037 MB · regex.program_cache 208 / 0.054 MB · regex.fancy_cache 88 / 0.045 · regex.repeat_cache 33 / 0.012 · regex.validated_patterns 512 / 0.078 · regex.content_cache 1,024 entries / 0.341 MB, pinned_programs 121 · regex.literal_sites 510 / 0.074 · regex.site_table 25 sites, 25 rooted headers, pinned_programs 22, 0.001 MB · regex.expando_owners 0 · regex.matcher_kinds unbuilt 1,592 / standard 56 / fancy 2 / repeat 13. All regex tables together: 0.64 MB of 80.8 MB side tables. The hypothesis is refuted. Diffing the RX2-era censuses per table instead shows the +6 MB was object.property_descriptors map capacity on the old #9958 head (11.10 MB vs 3.04 MB at the same 44 k entries), absent on the rebased head (3.04 MB again) — an artefact of the superseded head, not of the change.

Tests

census_prints_regex_rows_that_reconcile_with_side_table_total (rows present, entries ≥ N, the regex rows' bytes equal the delta the census attributes to them; sabotage: drop a row's registration → the reconciliation fails) and census_regex_rows_are_zero_cost_when_not_requested (no per-construction bookkeeping; sabotage: add one → fails). Gates on macOS: census 20, regex 130, full runtime lib suite 3,277 passed / 0 failed / 4 ignored, wasm-host build, root-holder audit, rustfmt/diff-check/size. 49f551f cherry-picks cleanly onto main textually but needs #9918's matcher tag to compile, so the pair lands after #9918/#9958.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved regular-expression .test() performance for direct literals and eligible factory calls by reusing compiled state and reducing repeated allocations.
    • Regex caches now evict entries incrementally, helping preserve compiled programs under cache pressure.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved RegExp handling for source, flags, lastIndex, prototype changes, exceptions, and lone surrogate characters.
    • Preserved correct behavior for generic and non-optimizable regex calls.
  • Diagnostics

    • Added detailed regex memory-census reporting and expanded runtime performance counters.

Ralph Küpper and others added 15 commits September 7, 2026 12:22
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.
Use scoped handle access in the nursery relocation fixture, gate the Arc
import to the matcher feature, and document why matcher kinds are dead in
the feature-off layout-only build. Remove the unused test import and unsafe
block, and apply rustfmt's module ordering.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011dhBmdn4vGgNibjo3oZqTo
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
Append the 2026-09-07 CI-fix handoff with exact fixed code heads, per-item
static gate results, disk-skipped cargo gates, and both branch range-diffs.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011dhBmdn4vGgNibjo3oZqTo
Add requested-only rows for the common regex-owned tables and reconcile
their de-duplicated byte estimates with the heap census side-table total.
Cover the emitted inventory and the no-construction-cost contract directly.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011dhBmdn4vGgNibjo3oZqTo
Measure the PerryTS#9958 site-rooted headers and their gross pinned program lower
bound separately from de-duplicated side-table attribution. Include the

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds allocation-free regex literal-site .test lowering, shared compiled-program ownership, bounded cache eviction, GC-safe site roots, regex census rows, and expanded diagnostics and tests.

Changes

Regex runtime optimization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compiler literal-site lowering
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/*
The compiler recognizes direct literal and eligible factory-call .test shapes and emits the new runtime calls.
Shared programs and cache
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/compile.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/lazy.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/site_cache.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/site_key.rs
Regex headers now reference one shared program bundle. The cache uses collision buckets, shared Arc programs, literal-site retention, and single-entry eviction.
Site-test runtime and GC integration
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/site_test.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/exception.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/*
The runtime validates canonical .test calls, reuses rooted headers, preserves fallback semantics, and restores factory state across exceptions and moving GC.
Regex census assembly
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/census_rows.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/regex_census.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/census.rs
The census emits regex ownership and byte rows with independent reconciliation totals. Census walks occur when a census document is requested.
Diagnostics and validation
crates/perry-runtime/src/hot_diag.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/tests_*, scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json, cc-perf-campaign/codex/*
Diagnostics, regression tests, root-holder metadata, changelog text, and performance validation records cover the new behavior.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to fe380

Regex matching can return incorrect results, while moving GC can crash or corrupt literal-site testing and RegExp stringification. The runtime defects should be fixed before merge.

the 512-entry engine-cache program counts. The expected explanation for RX2's
88.3 MB versus 82.4 MB (+6 MB) is roughly 550 site-pinned programs beyond the
512-entry engine cache. If that population is present, the gross site-pinned
lower bound/count identifies it even when shared ownership assigns additive
bytes to another regex row. If it is not present, the side-by-side reconciled
rows identify which other regex table grew; if no regex row explains the
delta, that is the finding and the residual belongs outside regex attribution.

Update the stale site-pinning expectation.

The request says that the expected explanation for the +6 MB delta is roughly 550 site-pinned programs. The stated PR objective says the measurements refute that hypothesis and attribute the delta to descriptor-map capacity on a superseded #9958 head. Update this request to use the measured conclusion.

Root receiver before js_regexp_site_test_get_method

The site table strongly roots RegExpHeader, but copying GC rewrites the table entry; it does not update the already-emitted SSA value. On the decline path, js_regexp_site_test_get_method calls js_dyn_index_get, which can run user code and move the header. The later adopt_emitted then stores the stale receiver address.

Move js_regexp_site_test_get_method inside with_rooted_group, after adopting and rereading receiver, in both crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/calls.rs and crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/instance_misc1.rs.

Gate regex_census_tests on regex-engine.

regex-engine is a default feature, but optimized builds use --no-default-features. In those builds, side_tables() adds no regex.* rows, so the test fails. Add the feature gate.

Repair incomplete matcher bundles before publication.

Line 168 reads the fancy and repeat lanes after get_or_compile_regex accepts a standard-cache hit. Independent cache eviction can retain REGEX_CACHE while removing a required fancy or repeat entry. This then publishes MatcherKind::Standard with the never-match fallback, or omits repeat semantics. The receiver returns incorrect match results. Reuse the repair logic from lazy::build_and_install_programs, or extract one shared complete-program assembly function.

Root the receiver and source across GC allocations. String(re) and RegExp.prototype.toString() reach js_regexp_to_string. Its js_regexp_get_source(re) call allocates movable GC storage, so re can move before js_regexp_get_flags(re) dereferences it. The flags allocation can also move src before string_as_str(src) reads it. Root re and src with RuntimeHandleScope, then reload re before reading flags and src before assembling the result. Otherwise moving GC can cause retired RegExpHeader or StringHeader pointers to be dereferenced, which can fault or produce invalid stringification.

Reset the site cache before asserting that these headers are not built.

regexp_finalize_releases_all_header_owned_programs compiles both patterns. The thread-local site_cache retains their programs, so later constructions can be born built. Acquire the shared test lock and clear the cache before constructing the headers.

- copying.rs reached 2066 lines. The remembered-set scan and pinned-young
  preflight move to copying/remembered_scan.rs. Their `pub(super)` meant
  `gc` in the parent and means `copying` in the child, so both are widened
  to `pub(in crate::gc)` to keep the original reach.

- regex_census.rs: `rows` is extended only under `regex-engine`, so the
  binding is unused-mut without that feature and REQUIRES mut with it.
  Scoped the allow to the feature-off build rather than dropping `mut`,
  which breaks the feature-on build. (My first attempt dropped it.)

- shapes.rs: #9976 deliberately removed `family_push_back`'s production
  rekey caller — the scanner-internal rekey note explains why re-entering
  the writer funnel mid-walk is wrong — leaving shapes_test_support as its
  only consumer. Gated `#[cfg(test)]` to match.

- Five new holders classified: BOX_YOUNG_ROOTS is covered_elsewhere, since
  every address in that minor remembered set is also in the box registry
  that scan_box_roots_mut walks; the four test seams and the histogram
  counter are not_a_gc_pointer.

- PASS1_MARKED re-audited: gc/mod.rs gains two module declarations and one
  reg_scanner! registration, gc/census.rs widens side_tables() and adds
  census rows plus a test. A scanner registration adds a root SOURCE and
  runs nowhere between the census boundaries; census reporting runs from
  the diagnostic dump, not inside a cycle. LAYOUT_DIAG's entry is deleted:
  the holder became covered, which the gate calls the receipt.

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!

Back to draft on the local Linux replay (LCI-9977, jobs replayed from .github/workflows on perrymaster; GitHub runners are not being waited on). One PR-owned red, verbatim from the warnings job (RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo check --workspace --all-targets):

error: variable does not need to be mutable
  --> crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/regex_census.rs:12:9
error: could not compile perry-runtime (lib) due to 8 previous errors

(the other 7 are main's known dead-code set, #9970). Everything else in the ladder is identical to main: gap shards 1–6 PR-only 0 / base-only 0, gc-stress-shard, gc-write-barrier-stress, e2e-scoped, release, lint, check, cargo-test-ffi, named census tests PASS; cargo-test-scope red = codegen_env_vars_are_build_cache_inputs (#9971, main-side). Fix pushed (drop the mut); the warnings job is re-run on the new head before this returns to ready.

Moot: this PR landed on main via merge train #9981 (23:18Z) before the comment above; the train's fix commit 2e4d639 scoped the allow to the feature-off build instead of dropping mut (which the regex-engine build requires). The branch push after that is not needed.
