Summary

  • guard the Array-subclass ObjectMeta.elements probe with the authoritative GC_TYPE_OBJECT kind before dereferencing receiver layout
  • reject coincidental CLOSURE_MAGIC bytes in managed non-closure cells (the release parity Error-property failure)
  • remove the now-stale Linux allowlist entry for test_class_field_layout
  • repair the Cargo.lock dependency edge for the timezone provider added by fix(intl): apply locale and timezone data #8997

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo test -p perry-codegen index_get_claim --lib (12 passed)
  • cargo test -p perry-runtime managed_error_with_closure_magic_in_padding_is_not_a_closure --lib
  • python3 scripts/parity_known_failures.py --audit
  • Linux release parity: test_gap_gc_catch_param_rooting (1/1 passed)
  • Linux release parity: test_class_field_layout (1/1 passed)

The release tag/version remains intentionally untouched; it will be created only after this lands and the exact final main SHA passes the required release gates.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed crashes when accessing indexed properties on arrays, strings, errors, buffers, and other specialized values.
    • Corrected property lookup for error objects that could lose their message or custom fields.
    • Improved handling of forwarded managed objects during property access.
  • Tests

    • Removed a Linux parity exception for class field layout, enabling regression detection.
    • Updated coverage for indexed access and string concatenation behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add GC-kind validation to dynamic indexed reads, validate managed heap headers during closure detection, update regression coverage, remove a Linux parity exception, and align codegen tests with the boxed string-concatenation helper.

Changes

Runtime guards and parity updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Indexed access kind guard
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index_get/inline_dyn_typed_array.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index_get_claim_tests.rs
The elements-backed path now loads ObjectMeta.elements only for GC_TYPE_OBJECT receivers. Other managed cell kinds use the complete miss dispatcher. Tests verify the generated guard.
Managed closure header validation
crates/perry-runtime/src/closure/dynamic_props.rs
is_closure_ptr now checks the managed object type and forwarding flag before trusting closure metadata. A regression test verifies Error property lookup when padding contains CLOSURE_MAGIC.
Parity and codegen expectation updates
test-parity/known_failures.json, crates/perry-codegen/tests/temp_root_operand_temporaries.rs, crates/perry-codegen/tests/typed_shape_descriptors.rs, changelog.d/8999-release-receiver-probe-kinds.md
The Linux parity exception was removed. Codegen tests now expect js_string_concat_value_box. The changelog records the runtime fixes and parity update.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b6f96

This change narrows dynamic receiver probing by GC kind and rejects false closure classification, with focused tests and parity checks reported as passing. Mergeable with explicit owner follow-up because two regression tests may not reliably prove pointer safety and guard direction.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Check the conditional branch direction.

The assertion checks that GC_TYPE_OBJECT, arrlike.elem.meta, and arrlike.ic.miss appear in the block. It does not check which edge reaches each label. An inverted cond_br could pass this test and reintroduce the wrong-layout dereference. Assert that the true edge reaches arrlike.elem.meta and the false edge reaches arrlike.ic.miss.

Root the managed test values before later allocations.

Line 1040 retains message as a raw pointer through js_error_new_with_message. Line 1041 retains error as a raw pointer through the key allocation at Line 1050. Either allocation can collect and move its live objects. Store handles in RuntimeHandleScope immediately after each allocation. Reload the current pointer from its handle before later use.

As per coding guidelines, “A GC-managed value's root store must dominate every subsequent site that can collect.”

Merged.

I verified the Cargo.lock claim rather than taking it on faith, and it was real: cargo metadata --locked fails on pristine main#8997 added the timezone-provider dependency without updating the lock. This PR repairs it (--locked passes here).

Worth saying plainly: I merged #8997 last night and did not catch that. Nothing I run would have — run_lint_gates.sh has no --locked step, and cargo check/cargo test silently update the lock rather than failing on it, so every gate stayed green while a release build using --locked would not have. I have added a --locked resolve to my own pre-merge checks.

Rejecting coincidental CLOSURE_MAGIC bytes in managed non-closure cells is the more interesting half. An ErrorHeader's bytes 12..16 are padding on 64-bit targets, so recycled arena storage can retain a stale magic there and a bytes-first check would read a live Error as a closure — the same shape as reading a non-string as a string. Letting the authoritative GC kind outrank look-alike bytes is the right ordering.

One fix pushed: the new managed_error_with_closure_magic_in_padding_is_not_a_closure test does a raw write_unaligned, which gc_store_site_inventory requires be classified. Added GC_STORE_AUDIT(POINTER_FREE) — it stores a u32 constant into padding deliberately, so there is no heap pointer for a barrier to track.

Validation — runtime 2788/0, codegen 1341/0 (RUST_TEST_THREADS=1); cargo metadata --locked ok; scripts/run_lint_gates.sh 57 of 58 with the compile tier green — the exception is the pre-existing Actions-expression artifact (#8929).

…pulated delete −13.9%) (#9001)

* perf(runtime): fast hasher for the shape key index; memcpy the delete key clone

Two costs on the populated-delete path, perry's worst object-model gap against
node (~200x on bench_populated_delete.ts).

1. ShapeIndex::slots was a std HashMap keyed on a u64 that is ALREADY an
   FNV-1a content hash, so every probe ran SipHash over a hash — no extra
   distribution, real time. hash_one::<&usize> plus sip::Hasher::write were
   14.7% of self time in that benchmark, second only to shape_slot_lookup
   itself, which is what performs them. Use the PtrHasher the runtime's other
   pointer/id-keyed registries already use.

2. The keys-array clone copied ~499 keys one f64 at a time per delete. Two
   copy_nonoverlapping runs instead. Safe by the code's own existing argument:
   the destination is a freshly allocated, still-unpublished array whose
   layout is rebuilt before publish, which is why the per-element writes
   carried no barrier either, and the two allocations cannot overlap.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ay8VyLkKbm8Hkc1xmvTEsP

* perf(runtime): inline the single-slot case in the shape key index

shape.slots mapped each content hash to a Vec<u32>, so every index build made
one heap allocation PER KEY — and the index is rebuilt on every populated
delete, so a 500-key object was making ~500 Vec allocations per delete.
Allocator and page churn dominates that benchmark (clear_page_erms 5.6%,
mi_free 4.2%, RawVecInner::finish_grow 2.9%), well above the lookup work.

A bucket holds more than one slot only on a genuine FNV-1a collision between
distinct property names, so the common case is exactly one. Store that inline
and promote to a Vec only on collision.

* refactor(runtime): move SlotList to a sibling file

Resolving #9001 against main pushed shapes.rs to 2036 lines, over the
repo's 2000-line cap. Move `SlotList` (the per-hash slot list this PR
adds) and `record_shape_scan_outcome` into a sibling module; both are
self-contained, so nothing else changes.
