Problem

A host that dlopens several Perry application images into one process — Coop, one deployment per dedicated Perry thread — ends up with only the last-initialised application working. Every earlier one dies on its first by-name resolution with TypeError: value is not a function (Next's lazy LazyModulethis._onUserlandLoaded). Established experimentally in #8546: 2 apps → first fails; 3 apps serial → first two fail; two inits interleaving closely → both fail.

Mechanism

The class registries are process-global statics keyed by compile-time class id. Class ids come from a small sequential counter in codegen, so they identify a class within one image only. N copies of the same dylib register the same ids with different func_ptrs (each image's own code addresses) into one HashMap, and insert is last-writer-wins — after the last image's init, every class of every earlier image dispatches into the last image's code. func_ptrs are not heap pointers, which is why the from-space quarantine never faulted.

It is not one table. The 26 js_register_class_* / js_class_register_* entry points write 21 class-id-keyed process-global tables across five files — not just the six in class_registry/state.rs named in the issue: also the parent map and its 64 K-entry dense mirror, CLASS_CONSTRUCTORS + flags, CLASS_NAMES / CLASS_LENGTHS / ANON_SHAPE_CLASS_IDS, the extends Error / DataView / typed-array marks, the hasInstance / toStringTag hooks, generic-origin and fetch-parent maps. The issue's experiments show no write order over a shared table can work (first-wins for methods → every vtable is a mix; first-owner for all entry points → later images cannot initialise). The tables must be per image.

Change

New module crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_image.rs:

  • All 21 tables move into one ClassImageTables struct, one instance per image, reached through a perry_thread_local! handle with a process-wide primary image as the fallback.
  • Entering an image happens in js_gc_init — the first runtime call codegen already emits at the top of both main and perry_module_init, on the thread that runs that image's module init, before any js_register_class_* call. First thread to enter creates and owns the primary image; every later thread gets a fresh one. Coop's three app threads → three images. A plain executable → one. No codegen change, no host change.
  • Inheritance: perry/thread workers (spawn, parallelMap, parallelFilter) and worker_threads Workers adopt_image() their spawner's handle before running anything. I verified the claim in the task: perry/thread workers do not re-run module init (thread.rs::spawn_impl only deserialises captures and calls the closure), so pure per-thread tables would have broken dynamic dispatch on them. Only worker_threads Workers re-run __init_body.
  • Fallback: a thread that neither entered nor adopted — a pump running JS for the primary heap (Android's UI thread firing timers via nativePumpTick, per agent.rs), a reactor thread, a libtest thread — reads and writes the primary image, i.e. exactly the process-global table it saw before. Single-image programs are behaviourally unchanged. This is why the key is neither the thread (breaks pumps and workers) nor the AgentId (fix(runtime): make the path-module registry per-heap so one process can host several apps #8528's reason: a host's app thread never claims an agent).
  • Call sites unchanged: each former static RwLock<..> is now a static ImageTable<RwLock<..>> whose read() / write() resolve the calling thread's image and return the same std guard types, so the ~100 use sites compile as written. The dense parent array becomes a 256 KiB heap allocation per image behind parent_dense_load/store.
  • RegistryLatches and VTABLE_GEN stay process-global on purpose (a latch armed by any image only costs another image the slow path, never a wrong answer).
  • CLASS_STATIC_ACCESSORS leaves per_test_global! (the handle already isolates libtest threads that enter an image; those that don't share the primary as the other 20 tables always did), and the GC test guard no longer clears it — it holds code addresses, not roots.

Verification (actually run, in this worktree, nightly-2026-08-20)

  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test -p perry-runtime -- class_image class_registry class_meta_registry class_constructors data_view thread_parent_class_id38 passed, 0 failed (first full run); re-run after the final refactor → 22 passed, 0 failed (class_image class_registry class_meta_registry). This includes gc/thread: the class prototype/parent registries are process-global but hold per-realm heap addresses #8001's a_second_agents_declared_prototype_address_is_its_own and the perf(runtime): class dispatch and instanceof stop consulting locked hash maps — shapes.ts 0.28s → 0.23s #7769 dense-parent tests.
  • New tests in object::class_image::tests:
    • two_application_threads_keep_their_own_class_vtables — the required regression: thread A enters an image and registers class N m0x1000; thread B does the same with 0x2000; both registrations complete before either looks up; A must dispatch to 0x1000, B to 0x2000.
    • a_spawned_worker_shares_its_spawners_image — worker adopts the spawner's handle, sees its classes and vice-versa; a second application sees neither.
    • a_thread_without_an_image_uses_the_primary — pump semantics, and enter is idempotent.
  • Sabotage-verified (as test(fetch): cover multi-app scanner registration #8562 was): with enter_current_thread_image made a no-op (process-global behaviour restored) the two-images test fails with exactly the coop/in_process: second Next app dies with TypeError: value is not a function (GC rooting, multi-heap) #8546 symptom — application A dispatches m into the other image's code: left: Some(8192), right: Some(4096) — and the worker test fails with a second application sees the first's classes: left: (Some(17), Some(34)), right: (None, None). Sabotage removed; green again.
  • cargo clippy -p perry-runtime -p perry-stdlib (CI's lib-target scope) → exit 0, no findings in changed files (three type_complexity hits it introduced were factored into type aliases). cargo fmt --all -- --check clean.
  • Every source-level lint gate: check_file_size.sh, gc_runtime_root_holders.py (+ --self-test), global_sink_isolation.py, check_gc_scanner_latches.py, addr_class_inventory.py, class_id_collisions.py, gc_rekeyed_key_tables.py, gc_store_site_inventory.py, gc_pin_sites.py, unrooted_local_shape.py --check, shape_descriptor_census.py, string_payload_access_inventory.py, raw_handle_debt.py, local_binding_type_audit.py, check_gc_doc_claims.py, check_gc_env_knobs.py, workspace_architecture.py --check → all exit 0. (Two of them caught real problems on the first pass — the sink-isolation script matched the ident in a comment, the class-id script wanted unique test constant names — both fixed.)

Not covered

  • Not run: the whole workspace test suite, the gap suite, the Coop end-to-end reproduction (COOP_BENCH_APP_COUNTS=3 …). The multi-image behaviour is proven at the unit level with the same shape as test(fetch): cover multi-app scanner registration #8562; the real Coop chain needs a Perry that loads the fixture (blocked on regression(hir): Coop's Next.js fixture throws nameless ReferenceError: identifier is not defined at init on 0.5.1519 — loaded on 0.5.1516 #8882 per the issue).
  • Older images compiled before this change still call js_gc_init, so they get the fix without recompiling; the hook is runtime-side.
  • Cost: get_parent_class_id (the hottest class-registry read) now does the cached-TLS image resolution before its indexed atomic load; each image allocates its 256 KiB dense table. Not benchmarked here — the perf gates run on the run-extended-tests label.
  • Threads not handled explicitly (reactor / IO threads, iOS/watchOS game-loop threads) fall back to the primary image — today's behaviour — so a multi-image host that runs JS on such a thread for a non-primary image would still see the wrong tables. None currently does.
  • No version bump, no docs page; the changelog fragment carries the write-up.

…host several apps

Every class-id-keyed table module init writes — vtables, static methods and
accessors, constructors and flags, the parent map and its dense mirror, names,
lengths, registered ids, bind lengths, the extends-Error / DataView /
typed-array marks, the hasInstance / toStringTag hooks, generic-origin and
fetch-parent maps, anon-shape ids — was a process-global static keyed by a
compile-time class id. Class ids come from a small sequential counter in
codegen, so N dlopen'd copies of one application register the SAME ids with
DIFFERENT func_ptrs (each image's own code addresses) into one HashMap, and
insert is last-writer-wins: after the last image's init every class of every
earlier image dispatched into the last image's code, and only the
last-initialised application worked (#8546). No write order over a shared
table works, so the 21 tables move into one ClassImageTables per image.

A thread resolves its image through a perry_thread_local! handle, falling back
to the process-wide primary image. js_gc_init — codegen's first runtime call in
both `main` and `perry_module_init`, on the thread that runs that image's
module init — enters an image: the first thread to enter owns the primary,
every later one gets a fresh image. perry/thread workers and worker_threads
Workers adopt their spawner's image before running anything, because they never
run module init. A thread that neither entered nor adopted (a pump firing JS
for the primary heap, a reactor thread, a libtest thread) uses the primary,
i.e. the process-global table it saw before, so single-image programs are
unchanged. Each former `static RwLock<..>` is a `static ImageTable<RwLock<..>>`
whose read()/write() return the same guard types, so the call sites are
untouched. Latches and VTABLE_GEN stay process-global on purpose.

Tests: two application threads registering the same class id with different
method addresses each dispatch to their own (sabotage-verified: with the enter
made a no-op the last writer wins and the test fails on the func_ptr); a
spawned worker shares its spawner's image while a second application sees
neither; a thread without an image reads the primary.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 258dd

The PR isolates class registries per application image and propagates that identity to supported workers, but it currently has a merge-blocking lifetime risk that could cause invalid lock access during thread teardown, plus a bounded risk of cross-application dispatch when JavaScript runs on an unsupported thread without image context.

Rust standard library RwLockReadGuard Drop lock must outlive guard documentation

💡 Result:

In Rust, the RwLockReadGuard structure carries a lifetime parameter (RwLockReadGuard<'a, T>) that represents a strict contract: the guard cannot outlive the RwLock it is protecting [1]. This is enforced by the Rust compiler because the guard stores an immutable reference to the RwLock (or its internal synchronization primitive) [1]. Because the RwLockReadGuard borrows the lock, it is impossible for the lock to be dropped while the guard is still in scope [1]. If the lock were destroyed before the guard, the guard would point to invalid or deallocated memory, violating memory safety [1]. Consequently, the lifetime of the RwLockReadGuard is bounded by the lifetime of the RwLock itself [1]. When the guard is dropped, its implementation of the Drop trait executes a mechanism (typically an internal unlock method) to release the shared read access [2][1]. The compiler's ownership and lifetime rules ensure this order—guaranteeing that the lock remains held as long as the guard exists—automatically prevents data races and memory corruption [1]. If you need a lock that can outlive the scope of the original RwLock instance, you must typically use owned-style guards (often found in libraries like tokio or via specific "owned" variants) that do not borrow the lock but rather hold an owned reference (such as an Arc) to it [3].

Citations:


Keep image tables alive while returned guards exist.

current() converts the CURRENT_IMAGE Arc into a 'static reference, while ImageTable::read() and write() return 'static lock guards. A guard holder registered before CURRENT_IMAGE can therefore outlive its image during TLS teardown and unlock a destroyed RwLock. Use an owned guard that retains the image Arc, or make non-primary image tables process-lived.

* fix(hir): late-bind `new X()` to a class declared later; name the ReferenceError

Coop's Next.js App Route fixture died at module init on 0.5.1519 with
the nameless `ReferenceError: identifier is not defined`. The identifier
is `SentinelNode` in next/dist/server/lib/lru-cache.js: the CJS wrap
hoists `LRUCache` out of the module IIFE but never sees `SentinelNode`
(its doc comment closes on the `class` line, and the textual hoister
anchors on `class ` at column 0), so the hoisted constructor's
`new SentinelNode()` is lowered before the `__perry_cjs_factory` body
registers the class. The unresolved-`new` guard from #8643 (905017b,
inside the 1516..1519 window) turned that lowering-time miss into an
unconditional nameless throw; before it, the by-name `Expr::New` bound
at codegen through the module class table, which is why 0.5.1516 loaded.

- `pre_scan_class_decl_names` records every class DECLARATION name in
  the module at any depth; the guard keeps the late-bound by-name
  construction for those.
- Any other unresolved constructor is read off `globalThis` when the
  `new` executes (`js_global_get_or_throw_unresolved`, shared with the
  bare-identifier arm via `unresolved_global_get_expr`), so a
  runtime-created global constructs and a true miss throws
  `ReferenceError: <name> is not defined` -- with the identifier, as
  #8730 and #8882 asked. The compile log names it too, with the same
  "unknown identifier" warning the bare-identifier arm prints.

Regression tests: a hoisted class constructing a sibling declared inside
a later closure keeps `New { class_name }` (fails without the new guard
clause, verified); a `typeof`-guarded `new IntersectionObserver()`
lowers to the named runtime lookup; the #8739 positive control now
expects the named form.

Fixes #8882. Refs #8730.

* fix(runtime): make the class registries per image so one process can host several apps

Every class-id-keyed table module init writes — vtables, static methods and
accessors, constructors and flags, the parent map and its dense mirror, names,
lengths, registered ids, bind lengths, the extends-Error / DataView /
typed-array marks, the hasInstance / toStringTag hooks, generic-origin and
fetch-parent maps, anon-shape ids — was a process-global static keyed by a
compile-time class id. Class ids come from a small sequential counter in
codegen, so N dlopen'd copies of one application register the SAME ids with
DIFFERENT func_ptrs (each image's own code addresses) into one HashMap, and
insert is last-writer-wins: after the last image's init every class of every
earlier image dispatched into the last image's code, and only the
last-initialised application worked (#8546). No write order over a shared
table works, so the 21 tables move into one ClassImageTables per image.

A thread resolves its image through a perry_thread_local! handle, falling back
to the process-wide primary image. js_gc_init — codegen's first runtime call in
both `main` and `perry_module_init`, on the thread that runs that image's
module init — enters an image: the first thread to enter owns the primary,
every later one gets a fresh image. perry/thread workers and worker_threads
Workers adopt their spawner's image before running anything, because they never
run module init. A thread that neither entered nor adopted (a pump firing JS
for the primary heap, a reactor thread, a libtest thread) uses the primary,
i.e. the process-global table it saw before, so single-image programs are
unchanged. Each former `static RwLock<..>` is a `static ImageTable<RwLock<..>>`
whose read()/write() return the same guard types, so the call sites are
untouched. Latches and VTABLE_GEN stay process-global on purpose.

Tests: two application threads registering the same class id with different
method addresses each dispatch to their own (sabotage-verified: with the enter
made a no-op the last writer wins and the test fails on the func_ptr); a
spawned worker shares its spawner's image while a second application sees
neither; a thread without an image reads the primary.

* perf(codegen): bound TailCallElim's alloca walk on wide statepoint functions

`TailCallElimPass::markTails` walks the transitive SSA uses of every alloca;
only loads/stores and nocapture call arguments stop it. On a
statepoint-rewritten function an alloca handed to any runtime call reaches
the statepoint token, its gc.relocates and, through their gc-live bundles,
every later statepoint, so each walk covers the whole function and the pass
costs allocas x uses. Coop's Next.js route (jsonwebtoken's bundled entry:
400 allocas, 643k post-RS4GC instructions, 3.4k statepoints, 477k
relocates; ~1.6M visited uses per alloca) held one LLVM worker for ~100
CPU-minutes in that walk on a unit whose remaining `-Os` passes take ~16 s.

Before the optimization pipeline runs, estimate the walk as
`allocas x instructions` per function and stamp
`"disable-tail-calls"="true"` on any function over the budget (default
2^26; `PERRY_LL_TRE_MAX_ALLOCA_WALK=<n>` raises/lowers it, `0`/`off`
disables). That attribute is TRE's own early-out, so the function keeps
every other pass at the requested level (#8421); it gives up exactly
tail-recursion-to-loop and sibling-call codegen, and it is not `optnone`
(#8583). The trip is logged with the function's name and factors, and the
knob is a build/object cache input.

Fixes #8883

…statement (#8924)

* fix(hir): stash class captures after a `super()` that is not its own statement

Coop's Next.js App Route fixture died at module init on every main since
0.5.1519 with `ReferenceError: Must call super constructor in derived class
before accessing 'this' or returning from derived constructor`, thrown from
`AppRouteRouteModule`'s standalone constructor on `new w.AppRouteRouteModule({…})`.

`synthesize_class_captures` stashes every captured outer local onto the
instance (`this.__perry_cap_<id> = param`) right after `super()`, so a method
the constructor calls can read it (#5437). It located `super()` only as a
top-level `Stmt::Expr(SuperCall)`. The minifier folds the call into a comma
sequence — `super({…}), this.workUnitAsyncStorage = …, …` — so the search
missed, and the early stashes fell back to constructor ENTRY, before
`super()`. That was a silent write onto the pre-allocated receiver until
905017b (#8643, class semantics tail) added the spec derived-`this` TDZ
check (`DERIVED_SUPER_BINDING_STACK`, `check_derived_this_initialized`),
after which every construction throws. 0.5.1516 loads the fixture; every
build from #8643 on fails, masked between #8643 and #8892 by the nameless
`ReferenceError: identifier is not defined` (#8882) that killed init earlier.
The per-image class registries (#8893) and the TRE budget (#8894) are not
involved: the failure reproduces in a single-image native executable and in
a ten-line program on `77b994f6b`+#8892.

The early stash now goes after the statement that completes `super()`,
whatever shape the call takes: a `super();` statement (as before); a comma
sequence that starts with `super(…)`, which is split so the stash sits
between the call and the remaining operands (sound: a statement discards
the sequence's value and the operands still run in order); or, for a call
nested anywhere else (`if (super(), …)`, `try { super() }`, `_this =
super()`), after that whole statement. A derived body with no direct
`super()` at all gets no early stash — `this` is never known to be bound —
and keeps the end-of-body / before-`return` stashes.

Tests: `perry-hir` unit tests lower the comma-sequence and `if`-test shapes
with a captured outer and assert the first `this.__perry_cap_*` stash follows
the `SuperCall` (both fail before the fix); a native e2e test constructs the
Next shape through the runtime `new ns.Class(…)` path, the p-queue `if`
shape, and the plain-statement shape (early stash still feeds a method
called from the constructor).

Refs #8546, #8882.
