📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesPacked fast-clone lowering adds per-context receiver and accumulator state. Loop scopes hoist receiver boxes and handles, defer eligible integer updates to i32 slots, refresh caches after GC, and reduce polling frequency. Packed stores and window accesses reuse cached handles and bypass checks for genuine f64 values. Packed clone endgame

Reload module-global receivers from their GC root.
At Line 683, a module-global receiver that range lowering copied into ctx.locals selects the plain entry alloca as source_ref. A fired poll rewrites the registered @perry_global_* root, but the refresh at Lines 6403-6405 reloads the stale alloca. Later packed accesses can dereference evacuated memory.
Prefer ctx.module_globals before ctx.locals for receiver refresh, or exclude receiver bindings from the global-read override. As per coding guidelines, “A GC-managed value's root store must dominate every subsequent site that can collect.”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve i32 slots owned by an outer scope.
deferred_integer does not record whether this scope created i32_slot. An inner packed clone can reuse an outer loop's registered i32 slot, then remove it here. The outer update then stops mirroring to i32 while its already-emitted condition still reads that slot. This can leave the outer counter stale and make the loop not terminate.
Store slot ownership with each deferred accumulator. Remove the i32 mapping only when this scope allocated it.

Not merging yet — the unrooted-alloca detector goes from 0 to 1 on this PR, and the hit is moving-minor reachable in exactly the function mechanism 1 targets. Plus one trivial compile error. Everything else validates well, including the parts I most expected to break, so this is a narrow blocker rather than a rethink. The blocker
Your soundness argument is that the ARMED arm of the poll reloads both from the GC-updated root, and the clone is call-free so the poll is its only collection point. That may well be correct at runtime — my GC stress found nothing, three seeds at Worth noting the interaction with mechanism 2 while you're in there: poll striding makes the ARMED reload run once per 64 iterations rather than per back-edge. The cache-refresh argument and the stride are the same mechanism viewed twice, so whatever justification lands should cover both — and it's worth saying explicitly that a 64× reduction in poll density inside packed clones also thins The trivial oneLeft over from the pre-masked-handle refactor, presumably. What validates cleanly25 correctness shapes, byte-identical to node v26.5.1, chosen against the four mechanisms:
Performance (interleaved best-of-3, 4096 elements × 3000 reps): Suites are all green: codegen 1347, runtime 2819 (exit 0, 0 abort markers), perry --bins 1066, fmt clean, and 59 of 60 lint gates. Happy to re-run the whole set once the alloca hit is resolved. |
…, integer count accumulators, check-free genuine stores Four mechanisms that take the remaining rows of the isolated array-operation matrix past node (quiet host, single-shape probes): 1. Poll-scoped receiver caching: the clone preheader caches the receiver box AND its pre-masked handle in plain allocas; in-clone LocalGets and the packed lanes' address math read the cache; the ARMED poll arm — the call-free clone's only collection point — reloads both from the GC-updated root (covering outer clones when an inner poll fires). The versioned length-hoist classifier also admits module-global receivers: 'i < g.length' loops on globals never versioned at all (8.1 -> 2.1 ns/el from that alone). 2. Poll striding: the per-back-edge volatile armed load serializes and pins the base math; packed clones gate it on (i & 63) == 0. The clone body is call-free, so a 64-iteration drain delay is far inside the poll contract's eventual-progress requirement. 3. Integer accumulator deferral: 'if (a[i]<0) c++' carried c through its double slot — a load->fadd->store->fcsel chain, ~5 cycles/element of pure latency in an otherwise branchless loop. Update-only integer accumulators get a scope-local promotable i32 slot: an entry range test (|v| < 2^30; <= 16M iterations cannot wrap) branches to the slow clone, the slot registers in i32_counter_slots so in-clone reads take the existing i32-first path, Expr::Update touches only the i32, and every clone exit (fall-through + side-exit trampoline) re-syncs the double. The count chain becomes a 1-cycle integer add. 4. Statically-genuine store values skip the range store's per-element nanbox tag test (five instructions) — a RHS the masked-store predicate proves genuine by construction stores raw, no side exit. Matrix (quiet host, node 26.5): count local 0.487 vs 0.593; count global 0.488 vs 0.576; masked global store 0.452 vs 0.553; len-bound store 0.455 vs 0.477 (11/11 paired wins); global reduce 0.937 vs 0.950. Combined with the merged rows, every operation-matrix row beats node. Five differential batteries vs node byte-identical, including new integer-deferral hazard probes (guard-fail entries, huge-entry range fail, fractional any accumulator, mixed/holey arrays, in-loop count reads, postfix observation, decrement + dual counters). perry-codegen suites 1830/0.

Merged. The unrooted-alloca hit is fixed, and fixed the right way. The cached receiver is now a frame-rooted but still promotable alloca rather than a plain addrspace-0 one, so the collector rewrites it on evacuation while mem2reg still hoists the handle mask and element base math out of the loop. Receiver caching, pre-masked handle caching, poll reloads and the 64-iteration striding are all unchanged, and no allowlist entry was added — that is option (a) from my review, the one I hoped for. The added comment also states the part that matters: rooting the cache is required even with the poll reload, because it makes liveness across the poll explicit and keeps both the shadow and native precise-root lowerings structurally sound. That is a better articulation of the invariant than "the reload covers it". Verified independently — in particular that the fix did not simply neuter the optimization to satisfy the checker:
plus codegen 1349 passed, perry --bins 1066 passed, fmt clean, unused The perf is essentially intact — 3.33x vs 3.50x is within run-to-run noise on this host, and the point is that rooting the cache did not cost the hoisting. For the record: this fix was produced by a Codex agent I briefed with the exact failure, the two acceptable outcomes, and an explicit instruction not to delete the caching. I reviewed and measured the result rather than taking its report; the numbers above are mine. |

The packed-loop endgame: four mechanisms that take every remaining row of the isolated array-operation matrix past Node. All numbers from the quiet bench host, single-shape direct-call probes per the campaign's measurement protocol.
The four mechanisms
Poll-scoped receiver caching. A packed fast clone re-derived its receiver from the GC-root slot on every access (root load + mask + base math the RS4GC addrspace keeps un-promotable). The clone's preheader now caches the receiver box — and its pre-masked handle — in plain allocas; every in-clone
LocalGetof the receiver and every packed lane's address math reads the cache; the ARMED arm of the loop poll (the call-free clone's only collection point) reloads both from the GC-updated root, which also keeps outer clones' caches fresh when an inner loop's poll fires. The versioned length-hoist classifier also admits module-global receivers now (i < g.lengthloops on globals never versioned at all: 8.1 → 2.1 ns/el on that discovery alone).Poll striding. The per-back-edge volatile armed-load serializes and blocks hoisting around it. Packed clones gate it on
(i & 63) == 0: the volatile load runs once per 64 iterations, and the surrounding base math becomes loop-invariant. Sound: the clone body is call-free, so a 64-iteration drain delay on a sub-nanosecond body is far inside the poll contract's eventual-progress requirement.Integer accumulator deferral.
if (a[i] < 0) c++count loops carriedcthrough its double slot — a load→fadd→store→fcsel chain (~5 cycles/element of pure latency; the disassembly showed an otherwise perfect branchless loop). Update-only integer accumulators now get a scope-local promotable i32 slot: an entry range test (|value| < 2^30, so ≤16M iterations ofadd i32cannot wrap) branches to the slow clone, the slot registers ini32_counter_slotsso every in-clone read takes the existing i32-first path,Expr::Updatetouches only the i32, and every clone exit (fall-through + side-exit trampoline) re-syncs the double. The count chain drops to a 1-cycle integer add.Statically-genuine store values skip the runtime check. The range store's per-element nanbox tag test (five instructions) exists for values that could be boxed; a RHS the masked-store predicate proves genuine by construction (literal, canonical-i32 counter, in-window load, float arithmetic over those) stores raw with no check and no side exit.
The matrix (quiet host, node 26.5)
i < g.lengthstoreWith the previously merged rows (literal/len reduce 0.97 vs ~1.0, masked arith store 0.48 vs 1.33, plain stores 0.40 vs 0.70), every row of the operation matrix now beats Node.
Correctness
Five differential batteries vs node, byte-identical: the new integer-deferral probes (count observed after guard-fail entries, huge-entry range-test fail, fractional
anyaccumulator, mixed/holey arrays through the slow clone, in-loop reads of the count, postfix-value observation, decrement + dual counters), plus the full reduce/masked/arith/store batteries from the prior rounds. Suites and host gate results in the comments.Summary by CodeRabbit
