🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not reread raw capture bits after the collecting fallback.
js_closure_alloc can move captured heap values. The subsequent loop reads the pre-GC captures_ptr buffer and can store stale addresses in the new closure.
Return a no-collect allocation failure to codegen, then re-materialize captures from GC roots on the existing fallback path. Alternatively, root and relocate every capture before any collecting allocation. As per coding guidelines, “A GC-managed value's root store must dominate every subsequent site that can collect.”

Second commit pushed — four cuts inside the birth entry, all found by a Linux
Mini medians: bare capturing closure 24.3 → 21.0 ns (−13.6%), captured-arrow-field literal 27.8 → 22.2 (−20.1%); captureless and plain literals unchanged. Cumulative against main: 28.5 → 21.0 and 31.4 → 22.2. Closure-birth differential vs node still byte-identical; fixture |

Full battery on both commits: |
A fresh (identity-carrying) capturing closure was born as js_closure_alloc plus one js_closure_set_capture_bits runtime call per capture, and each setter re-resolved the GC header, re-checked forwarding, re-dispatched on the object kind for layout_note_slot and paid the write barrier's page-table classification again. After PerryTS#9128 made every user closure literal fresh, that per-capture chain was ~24% of a capturing-closure birth and js_closure_alloc itself ~34% (sample, main@PerryTS#9128). New runtime entry js_closure_alloc_init(func_ptr, capture_count, captures_ptr): no-collect-first nursery allocation (its Some contract keeps the raw capture bits valid; no trigger check), header + bulk slot copy, ONE newborn layout classification (layout_init_from_slots: forget-once, then pointer-free / unknown / side-mask — no per-slot notes, no interleaved table removes), and a barrier pass that classifies the parent once for all slots (runtime_write_barrier_newborn_slots; with barriers off it is the incremental-mark shade check per value). The block-boundary fallback takes the original alloc + per-slot setter path. Codegen emits it for fresh closures whose captures are all plain bits (bulk_fresh_init); box-cell captures keep the per-slot setter path (their set_closure_box_capture bookkeeping has no bulk twin); the reserved this / new.target slots are pre-filled with the pointer-free sentinel and patched post-create exactly as before. Singleton (compiler-synthesized async-step) closures are untouched. Closure-birth differential vs node (plain and boxed captures, this-arrows, new.target, async, identity, arrays of closures, nested and 10-capture closures): byte-identical.

…losure births Follow-up cuts on the same entry, from a Linux perf annotate of the birth loop (18.5 ns/op, 478 instr/iter, IPC 4.97 — throughput-bound, so instruction count is the cost): - layout_init_from_slots now RETURNS whether any slot is pointer-bearing, and the birth skips runtime_write_barrier_newborn_slots entirely when nothing is. A closure capturing only numbers/booleans/SSO strings paid a call plus a page-table classification per slot for a barrier whose own child check would reject every one of them (write_barrier_slot_decoded was 9.3% of the loop on a NUMBER capture). - The ≤64-slot case classifies into a register-resident u64 instead of a LayoutSlotMask, and reads the mask-min-slots threshold once instead of through a per-birth OnceLock call. - layout_forget_object is called only when the per-object layout tables can actually hold an entry (per_object_layouts_maybe_nonempty), matching what the tables' own accessors check anyway (4.5% of the loop). - Slot counts ≤8 copy through a counted store loop; the runtime-length copy_nonoverlapping compiled to a memcpy PLT call (2.6% for ONE slot). Mini, medians: bare capturing closure 24.3 -> 21.0 ns (-13.6%), captured-arrow-field literal 27.8 -> 22.2 (-20.1%); captureless and plain literals unchanged. Cumulative against main: 28.5 -> 21.0 and 31.4 -> 22.2. Closure-birth differential vs node unchanged (byte-identical). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01F1dt1jfzK2cheMZyus6y6p
…ity stacks gc_store_site_inventory flagged PerryTS#9136's counted store loop; classified BARRIERED to match the copy_nonoverlapping arm beside it, which is followed by the same closure layout/barrier rebuild. gc_runtime_root_holders flagged PerryTS#9095's SET_FOREACH_STACK / MAP_FOREACH_STACK; classified not_a_gc_pointer — the entries are header addresses used only for identity comparison, never dereferenced, and set_header_moved_for_gc / map_header_moved_for_gc rewrite them when a header moves.

What
A fresh (identity-carrying) capturing closure was born as
js_closure_allocplus onejs_closure_set_capture_bitsruntime call per capture — and each setter re-resolved the GC header, re-checked forwarding, re-dispatched on the object kind forlayout_note_slot, and paid the write barrier's page-table classification again. After #9128 made every user closure literal a fresh object, that per-capture chain is ~24% of a capturing-closure birth on main,js_closure_allocitself ~34%.This adds one runtime entry,
js_closure_alloc_init(func_ptr, capture_count, captures_ptr): no-collect-first nursery allocation (itsSomecontract keeps the raw capture bits valid, no trigger check), header + bulk slot copy, one newborn layout classification (layout_init_from_slots: forget-once, then pointer-free / unknown / side-mask — no per-slot notes, no interleaved table removes), and a barrier pass that classifies the parent once for all slots (runtime_write_barrier_newborn_slots; when barriers are off it reduces to the incremental-mark shade check per value). The block-boundary fallback takes the original alloc + per-slot setter path unchanged.Codegen emits it for fresh closures whose captures are all plain bits (
bulk_fresh_init); box-cell captures keep the per-slot setter path (theirset_closure_box_capturebookkeeping has no bulk twin), and the reservedthis/new.targetslots are pre-filled with the pointer-free sentinel and patched post-create exactly as before. Singleton (compiler-synthesized async-step) closures are untouched.Measurements
Mac mini (quiet host), 5 interleaved rounds, median ns/op (node on the same box):
(x) => x + k, escaping{ a, b, f: (x) => x + k }Two commits: the one-call birth (28.5 → 24.3) and then four cuts inside it found by a Linux
perf annotate— barrier skipped entirely on pointer-free births, register-resident mask for ≤64 slots,layout_forget_objectonly when the per-object tables can hold an entry, counted store loop for ≤8 slots instead of amemcpyPLT call (24.3 → 21.0). The birth loop on the Linux host runs at IPC 4.97, i.e. throughput-bound, so instruction count is the cost. Dev-box loop with 100k retained closures (attribution only): 118.8 → 78.3 → 62 ns/op; the per-capture setter chain is gone and what remains is the single birth call (allocation, copy, one layout classification, one barrier pass), the moving minors the retention forces, and the call side (js_number_coerceon the captured operand — a separate family). The remaining gap to node is the birth call's own cost; that is an instruction-level round on the Linux host, not a structural change.Correctness
this-capturing arrows in classes,new.targetinside an arrow, async closures capturing locals, closure identity across evaluations, arrays of closures from a loop, nested three-level captures, a 10-capture closure, a 100k-iteration churn: byte-identical.thisset: byte-identical. (The captureless method-shorthandFuncRefsingleton identity line differs from node exactly as on main — a HIR decision this branch doesn't touch.)Binary size
Per site: the capture buffer fill (
alloca+ one store per capture) replaces N setter calls; fixture (four closure loops, arm64size -m):__text10,948,052 → 10,950,932 = +2,880 B (+0.026%) across both commits.
