Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 1 remains after this review. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe codegen now supports an environment-controlled inline shape probe for eligible monomorphic method calls. Probe misses enter the existing runtime guard. Build caching includes the new environment variable, and regression coverage accepts either proof location. ChangesMethod direct-call probe optimization
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change lets proven method calls bypass the per-call runtime guard while preserving fallback behavior for probe misses. It is mergeable with owner awareness of receiver rooting across argument lowering and the kill-switch’s process-local caching behavior, which could affect correctness or rollback consistency if those assumptions are violated.

Sites that own a typed receiver clone set shape_only_guard=false and so paid js_typed_feedback_method_direct_call_guard on every call — whose contract check takes an RwLock read plus TWO SipHash HashMap probes (vtable_method_matches) — while less-typed sites got the inline shape guard. On a typed-parameter receiver (the shape every real codebase passes around) that was 125-390 ns per monomorphic c.inc(). PerryTS#9105's dispensation applied to method sites: normal builds collect no typed feedback, so the guard's observation half is inert. Decide the monomorphic case with the SAME inline probe the shape-only sites emit (class_id + ShapeId + prototype-override latches — exactly what shape-only direct dispatch already trusts for this method body) and keep the runtime guard as the probe-MISS edge, so subclass receivers, forwarded objects and monkey-patched prototypes take exactly today's path. Emission-enabled builds keep the guard first. Kill switch: PERRY_METHOD_INLINE_PROBE=0. Host-shape matrix (dev box, kill-switch pairs): fn-hosted typed-param receiver 125.3 -> 13.5 ns (-89%), arrow-hosted captured receiver 125.6 -> 13.8 (-89%); proven-local receivers flat at 4.6. Semantics differential (subclass through base param, virtual override, mid-program prototype monkey-patch, own-property override, annotation lie): ON == OFF byte-for-byte.

Reject untagged recv_box values before dereference.
Expr::Number uses raw IEEE-754 bits, while the helper treats a zero upper word as an internal raw pointer. A crafted positive subnormal can therefore produce an in-range address and reach the obj_ptr - 8 load before the runtime guard. Require the 0x7FFD pointer tag or another proof of the raw-pointer ABI.

Analysed rather than changed: the receiver-before-arguments lowering with no re-read is the direct-method tower's pre-existing structure (dynamic_dispatch.rs: recv_box lowered, then each arg), and the same recv_box SSA value already feeds both the runtime typed-feedback guard and the shape-only inline guard. All of them — including this probe — test the GC header's forwarded bit and reject a moved receiver, falling to the runtime guard, which resolves forwarding as it always did. So the probe-first edge introduces no new window relative to the two existing consumers; making the whole tower root-and-re-read its receiver across argument lowering would be a separate change to shared structure, and I'd rather not fold it into this PR.

@proggeramlug, thanks for the analysis. It addresses receiver lifetime and forwarding. It does not address this finding.
The inline guard accepts tag == 0 before it reads obj_ptr - 8. Mainstream targets accept low addresses from 0x10_0000 to 2^47 or 2^48. A JavaScript Number can have a positive subnormal bit pattern in that range with tag == 0.
The runtime guard is not equivalent here. Its gc_header_for_user_addr path calls is_valid_obj_ptr before it reads the GC header. The inline guard has only a range check. Therefore, it can dereference an unmapped address before it reaches the forwarded-bit check.
Please either reject tag == 0 in this source-level recv_box path or add a separate, explicit proof that the value uses the internal raw-pointer ABI. The receiver root-and-re-read change is independent of this fix.

Learning: In `crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/dynamic_dispatch.rs`, direct-method lowering evaluates `recv_box` before call arguments. The direct-method tower shares this `recv_box` SSA value with both typed-feedback runtime guards and inline shape guards. These guards reject a forwarded receiver and route the miss to runtime dispatch, which resolves forwarding.

Timestamp: 2026-08-01T16:10:48.388Z
Learning: When lowering a non-literal string or symbol key before a potentially collecting RHS, use StoreOperandGuard/guard_store_operand, re-read the key after RHS lowering, and release the key guard before the receiver guard when both are present. Because temporary-root releases truncate slots above their index, release nested guards from inner to outer. In crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/static_field_meta.rs, release the symbol-key guard during each static-property iteration because js_object_set_symbol_property may invoke user setter code.

…lls + probe review fixes Follow-up to PerryTS#9124, which merged with the method-direct probe only. This carries the second half of that lever plus the review fixes: 1. With the method probe in front, the probe-first c.inc() loop was ~80% js_typed_feedback_class_field_get_guard: per receiver field, per call, it re-derived facts the exact (class_id, ShapeId) pair already pins (live slot count, key-at-slot) through a shape_descriptor_by_id lookup plus the raw-f64 layout contract. The field-GET sites already emit emit_class_field_inline_precheck ahead of that guard (class/shape + not-forwarded + the per-OBJECT raw-f64 intact bit). Because the intact bit is object-wide, ONE precheck vouches for every receiver field at once; its miss edge runs the unchanged per-field runtime chain, whose i1 result joins at a phi. Same kill switch (PERRY_METHOD_INLINE_PROBE=0), same emission-off gating. Mini pairs: typed-param receiver 12.8 -> 3.8 ns, captured receiver 13.1 -> 3.8; proven-local rows flat at 4.4 — zero runtime calls per iteration (sample: 100% in the generated fn). 2. Review (PerryTS#9124): emit_inline_direct_method_shape_guard takes accept_raw_ptr. Probe-first sites pass false — a user NaN-box receiver must carry the 0x7FFD tag before any dereference, so a plain double whose bits land in the heap range (a positive subnormal) misses to the runtime guard instead of reaching the header load. The pre-existing shape-only site and versioned_indexed_loop.rs keep raw acceptance. 3. The typed_f64_receiver IR-shape test measured both proofs by the runtime guards' text positions; it now measures the proof itself (inline marker or guard call, whichever dominates), and the fields merge block is created after the precheck's blocks so the typed/generic branch follows the guard calls in emission order.

What
Method-call sites that own a typed receiver clone set
shape_only_guard = falseand therefore paidjs_typed_feedback_method_direct_call_guardon every call — whose contract check takes an RwLock read plus two SipHash HashMap probes (vtable_method_matches) — while less-typed sites got the existing inline shape guard. On a typed-parameter receiver (the shape every real codebase passes around) that was ~125–390 ns per monomorphicc.inc(), against node's 0.5.This applies #9105's dispensation to method sites: normal builds collect no typed feedback, so the guard's observation half is inert. Decide the monomorphic case with the same inline probe the shape-only sites already emit (class_id + ShapeId + the prototype-override latches — exactly what shape-only direct dispatch already trusts for this method body) and keep the runtime guard as the probe-miss edge, so subclass receivers, forwarded objects and monkey-patched prototypes take exactly today's path. Emission-enabled builds keep the guard first. ~15 lines in
method_override.rs. Kill switch:PERRY_METHOD_INLINE_PROBE=0.Measurements
Two commits, same lever: (1) the method-direct probe in front of the typed-feedback method guard; (2) one inline field precheck (class/shape + per-object raw-f64 intact bit — the same
emit_class_field_inline_precheckthe field-GET sites use) in front of the per-field runtime field guards, which became ~80% of the loop once (1) landed. With both, a monomorphicc.inc()on a typed-param receiver runs with zero runtime calls per iteration (sample: 100% inside the generated function).Mac mini (quiet host), 7 kill-switch pairs per step, median ns/op (node 0.4–0.5 in all four shapes):
new C(), plain fnnew C(), arrowThe two moved rows are the shapes real code is made of (receivers arrive as parameters or captures) and now sit slightly below the proven-receiver rows. What remains per iteration is the inline probes themselves (two atomic-acquire latch loads, header/class/shape compares, the intact-bit check) plus the loop's GC poll/barrier checks; hoisting the probes out of loops is the receiver-invariant loop-versioning follow-up (clones bodies, so it gets its own size accounting), and node's 0.5 beyond that is the boxed-round-trip/TBAA campaign.
Binary size (standing gate)
Per-site cost: ~100–150 B for the method probe and ~80 B for the field precheck (one per site, regardless of field count). The method probe is the SAME inline sequence the shape-only sites already emit (two atomic-acquire latch loads, pointer-form/range checks, one header load, one packed

The receiver-then-arguments lowering order is the tower's pre-existing structure (dynamic_dispatch.rs, receiver lowered before args, no re-read) shared by the runtime guard and the shape-only inline guard; all three reject a moved receiver through the forwarded header bit and fall to the runtime guard, which resolves forwarding — the probe inherits exactly that contract and adds no new window.https://claude.ai/code/session_01F1dt1jfzK2cheMZyus6y6p
