Summary

  • compute generic Array.prototype.slice bounds before allocating or narrowing the result length
  • throw RangeError for result lengths above 2^32 - 1 before indexed reads, while allowing small slices from larger array-like receivers
  • route borrowed Array.prototype.slice aliases on plain objects through the same generic engine
  • preserve holes and root the receiver, result, and copied values across getter/proxy collection points
  • add an integration regression covering plain .call, assigned aliases, proxies, and a valid one-element tail slice

Test262

Pinned test262: 4249661388e5d3f92a85186213da140a6481490f

  • built-ins/Array/prototype/slice: 52 pass, 0 diff, 0 runtime-fail, 0 compile-fail (100%)
  • full built-ins/Array: 2513 pass, 0 diff, 14 runtime-fail, 0 compile-fail across 2527 judged cases (99.4%)
  • exact failure-set comparison against the clean-main baseline found no added failures; all four targeted slice failures were removed (the baseline's unrelated transient linker failure also passed on rerun)

Tests

  • cargo build --release -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static
  • cargo test --release -p perry --test issue_5898_array_slice_invalid_length -- --nocapture
  • bash scripts/check_file_size.sh
  • changed files: rustfmt --edition 2021 --check ...
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check was attempted twice, including from a short mapped path, but Cargo exceeds Windows' argument-list limit (os error 206) for this workspace; the three changed Rust files pass direct rustfmt checking

No version, Cargo manifest/lockfile, or changelog changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Array.prototype.slice for array-like objects, preserving sparse elements and correct indexed-property behavior.
    • Added proper handling for oversized slice results, including raising RangeError before unnecessary property access.
    • Preserved expected behavior for arrays, arguments objects, typed arrays, proxies, and aliased slice methods.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for invalid slice lengths and large array-like objects.

Array-like slice behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generic slice runtime path
crates/perry-runtime/src/array/generic.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this/array_error.rs
Generic receivers are rooted and sliced directly. The selected result length is validated before allocation or indexed reads. Holes are preserved. Plain objects use the generic path, while dense receivers retain the existing helper.
Oversized slice regression coverage
crates/perry/tests/issue_5898_array_slice_invalid_length.rs
The test covers oversized receivers, aliased methods, proxy access tracking, and valid tail selection. It asserts RangeError, access counts, and output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 57429

Generic Array slice calls can trigger receiver conversion that leaves a heap string unrooted during allocation, allowing garbage collection to invalidate the reference and cause incorrect behavior or runtime failure. Merge should be blocked until the value is rooted and safely reloaded.

Root the input before boxed-primitive allocation.

to_object passes a heap string to js_boxed_string_new, which allocates before rooting its copied value. GC can evacuate the string, leaving value stale when wrapper installation uses the result. Root and reload the input before allocation, or update js_boxed_string_new to root and reload it.
