📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change updates pointer-store IR assertions, barrier-marker inventory fixtures, and a changelog entry. The tests now follow bookkeeping gate reachability. Inventory baselines now account for three barrier markers and preserve count-drift coverage. ChangesArray-store bookkeeping validation
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR reduces array-store bookkeeping by gating pointer and numeric-layout updates while preserving pointer transitions and layout downgrades. It is mergeable with owner awareness that barrier paths still perform a redundant, state-idempotent numeric-layout update, leaving avoidable runtime work for follow-up. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

It does not use the repository template headings or checklist format, but it provides the required technical context and test information.

Gate on the Linux box, commit An earlier revision failed a real step — Resolved rather than bumped: the new marker's unconditional slot write is discharged by its caller's stem-labelled barrier, and for its only caller ( Remaining: Runtime suite |

Remove the second numeric-write note.
When write_barrier_needed is true and value_is_numeric is false, this path emits js_array_note_numeric_write through the new gate. Lines 520-523 then emit the same note again after the barrier. On later downgraded stores, this gate skips the call but the trailing direct call still runs. Remove the post-barrier numeric-write note so this gate is the single emission path.

…loop -33%, prime_sieve -23%) layout_note_slot_aware opens with `if !value_is_pointer && !old_is_pointer`, and js_array_note_numeric_write returns once the receiver's raw-f64 bits are clear. lower_index_set_fast emitted both calls unconditionally, so a boolean[] store loop paid two calls per element to be declined -- ~82% of such a loop is per-store bookkeeping against 16% for the loop (PerryTS#9237). Both early returns are now inline, under two SEPARATE gates: * layout note + string addref + write barrier: behind may_carry_heap_pointer(new) || may_carry_heap_pointer(old). `new || old`, not `new` alone -- overwriting a pointer with a boolean is a pointer->scalar transition the runtime must still see, which is why the existing new-value-only emit_jsvalue_slot_store_pointer_tested is not usable here; * numeric-write note: keeps its own raw-f64-bits gate, because that note is what DOWNGRADES the array on its first non-numeric store -- gating it on pointer-ness would skip it forever. Mini, both binaries built in one run, interleaved, min of 5, self-timed: boolean store loop 206 -> 137 ms (-33%), 11_prime_sieve 26 -> 20 ms (-23%, 4.3x -> 3.3x node). Nested-loop read benchmark unchanged. Node is 12 and 6 ms -- the per-store guard CALL is the larger remaining piece, still open in PerryTS#9237. pointer_store_into_numeric_array_keeps_layout_note_and_barrier caught this twice and is the reason to trust it; both its assertions now follow the EDGE through the new gate blocks, the treatment PerryTS#7715 already gave the barrier assertion. Verified independently that inbounds -> gc_bookkeeping -> numnote -> barrier.maybe -> barrier is intact for a pointer store, byte-identical to node. Also drops emit_jsvalue_slot_store_scalar_aware_with_flags_on_block, added in PerryTS#9195 and left callerless here. 31 codegen suites pass; five differentials byte-identical to node.

Raising CODEGEN_BARRIERED_BINDINGS to 3 without updating the fixture made the green baseline dirty (it plants 2) and stopped V-P9 firing (it plants a third to trigger the drift error). Baseline now plants 3 and V-P9 adds a fourth, so both cases still test what they are named for.

Merged, with one gate fix pushed onto the branch. The gate change needed its own test updated. Raising That second line is the one that matters — a drift check that no longer fires is a gate that cannot fail, which is exactly what this inventory exists to prevent. Baseline now plants 3 and V-P9 adds a fourth, so both cases still test what they are named for. Worth noting the self-test caught this on its own; it is a good example of a gate whose own tests are strong enough to notice when its expectations move. On the correctness of the gating, which is the part I cared about — a missed barrier is a lost root, and that surfaces cycles later as something unrelated: The One methodological note, because it nearly fooled me.

…rime_sieve 4.5x -> 1.8x node) Stacked on PerryTS#9246. lower_index_set_fast's inline guard already tests everything the out-of-line js_typed_feedback_plain_array_index_set_guard tests -- array type, not-forwarded, no element descriptors, integrity flags, the prototype-chain invalidation byte, length/capacity sanity -- and then jumps straight to the store. But the tier was gated on require_numeric_layout, so it was only ever built for statically numeric receivers: a boolean[] paid the CALL on every store, forever, even though the in-bounds arm below already stores tagged values into such receivers (that arm is what the out-of-line guard fronts today). Two conditions belong to the raw-f64 store alone and are now applied only when it is emitted: the receiver's raw-f64 layout bits (the raw arm writes an unboxed double, valid only while the layout says elements are pointer-free -- and a downgraded receiver has them clear by definition, which is why requiring them pinned boolean[] to the call tier), and the runtime numeric-tag test on the value (a number[] slot can receive a non-number, and the raw arm would write its tag verbatim; the tagged arm stores the box as a box). Mini, all binaries built in one run, interleaved, min of 5, self-timed: boolean-store loop 207 -> 138 (PerryTS#9246) -> 64 ms; 11_prime_sieve 27 -> 20 -> 11 ms against node's 12 and 6. prime_sieve 4.5x -> 1.8x node.

Byte-identical to node; five pre-existing differentials unchanged; 31 codegen suites pass. Its Array.prototype-index-setter case diverges from node -- and diverges IDENTICALLY on unmodified main, for numeric receivers too, so it is neither caused nor widened here. Filed separately.

Takes the bounded half of #9237.
What was happening
gc::layout::layout_note_slot_awareopens withif !value_is_pointer && !old_is_pointer { return; }.js_array_note_numeric_writereturns as soon as the receiver's raw-f64 layout bits are clear. Both are cheap tests on values the call site already holds — andlower_index_set_fastemitted both calls unconditionally, so aboolean[]store loop paid two calls per element to be declined. Profiled, such a loop spends ~82% of its time in per-store bookkeeping and 16% in the loop itself.Two gates, not one
Both early returns are now inline, and they are deliberately separate, because they answer different questions:
may_carry_heap_pointer(new) || may_carry_heap_pointer(old). The test isnew || old, nevernewalone: overwriting a pointer with a boolean is a pointer→scalar transition the runtime must still see. That is exactly why the existing new-value-only gate (emit_jsvalue_slot_store_pointer_tested, used for class fields under a conforming layout) is not reusable here — I checked before reaching for it.expr/index_set_guarded.rsalready applies on the sibling path. This note is what downgrades a raw-f64 array on its first non-numeric store; gating it on pointer-ness would skip it forever and the array would never downgrade at all.Measurements
Idle Mac mini, both binaries built in one run, interleaved, min of five, self-timed (the dev box was too loaded to measure on — Node itself swung 9→138 ms there):
11_prime_sieve10_nested_loops(read control)4.3× → 3.3× Node on
prime_sieve. This closes part of the gap, not all of it — the per-store typed-feedback guard call is the larger remaining piece and stays open in #9237.Why to trust it
typed_shape_descriptors::pointer_store_into_numeric_array_keeps_layout_note_and_barrierpins that a pointer store into a statically numeric array still reaches both the layout note and the barrier. It caught this change twice — once for each assertion — and needed updating both times.Before touching it I verified the semantics independently: for a pointer store the chain
idxset.inbounds → gc_bookkeeping → numnote → barrier.maybe → barrieris intact, both calls are reached, and the program answers identically to Node. Both assertions now follow the edge through the new gate blocks rather than slicing a text region of the IR — precisely the treatment #7715 gave the barrier assertion when it moved the barrier behind a live value test, and its comment says so.Five differentials stay byte-identical to Node: the string-aliasing hazard the addref exists to prevent, the interval bounds proof, the byte-read battery, the nested-loop exit paths, and the packed-loop carry battery. 31
