Stacked on #9246 — the diff shown against main includes that PR's commit; review this one's second commit.

Completes the larger half of #9237.

The gate was one conjunct

lower_index_set_fast builds an inline guard that 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 on success jumps straight to the store, skipping the call. The whole tier was gated on require_numeric_layout:

let inline_write_tier = require_numeric_layout && !typed_feedback_emission_enabled();

So it was only ever built for statically numeric receivers. A boolean[], or any downgraded any[], took the call on every store for the life of the program — even though the in-bounds arm below already knows how to store a tagged value into such a receiver. That arm is precisely what the out-of-line guard fronts today; only the guard in front of it was missing.

Two of the guard's conditions genuinely belong to the raw-f64 store, and they now apply only when that store is the one being emitted:

  • the receiver's raw-f64 layout bits — the raw arm writes an unboxed double into the slot, valid only while the layout says the elements are pointer-free. A downgraded receiver has those bits clear by definition, which is exactly why requiring them pinned boolean[] to the call tier permanently;
  • the runtime numeric-tag test on the value — load-bearing because a number[] slot can genuinely receive a non-number (a hole/OOB read fallback returning undefined is the ordinary way) and the raw arm would write its NaN-boxed tag verbatim. The tagged arm stores the box as a box, so the test is dead work there and only there.

Measurements

Idle Mac mini, all binaries built in one run, interleaved, min of five, self-timed:

main with #9246 this change node
boolean-store loop 207 ms 138 ms 64 ms 12 ms
11_prime_sieve 27 ms 20 ms 11 ms 6 ms
10_nested_loops (read control) 17 ms 17 ms 17 ms 16 ms

11_prime_sieve goes from 4.5× Node this morning to 1.8×.

Correctness

A differential written for this change, because widening a store guard is where a mistake would hide: a frozen array (stores ignored), a sealed array and one under preventExtensions (in-bounds writes allowed, growth refused), an own element accessor descriptor (the setter must run), extension past length, mixed types through one slot, and a store into an array that was numeric. Byte-identical to Node. The five pre-existing differentials are unchanged, and 31 perry-codegen suites pass.

One case diverges, and it is not this change's: an Array.prototype index setter installed via Object.defineProperty is bypassed. It diverges identically on unmodified main, for numeric receivers too — I built main specifically to check, because "my differential went red" is not the same as "my change broke it". Filed as #9249 with the mechanism: the flags both guards consult are only raised by an index write to the prototype, never by defineProperty.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The array index-set fast path now covers tagged receivers and gates pointer-related and numeric bookkeeping. The scalar-aware slot store performs the unconditional write, while layout notes, string addref, barriers, and numeric notes run only when their conditions require them.

Changes

Array store bookkeeping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inline store guards
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index.rs
The inline tier now accepts non-numeric receivers. Raw-f64 layout and numeric-value checks apply only to raw-f64 stores.
Gated in-bounds bookkeeping
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/write_barrier.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/mod.rs
The slot write is unconditional. Pointer-related bookkeeping uses a new-or-old pointer gate. Numeric-write notes use a raw-f64 layout gate. The unused helper is removed.
Validation and change records
crates/perry-codegen/tests/typed_shape_descriptors.rs, scripts/gc_store_site_inventory.py, changelog.d/*
Tests follow the new IR gate blocks. GC store auditing counts the unconditional slot write. Changelogs record the behavior and benchmark results.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f0f36

The PR expands inline array stores to tagged receivers, but runtime-tagged values can leave numeric-layout metadata stale, risking incorrect later reads or garbage-collector state. A repository self-test also fails until its fixture is updated, so merge should wait for these fixes and validation.

Preserve the runtime raw-f64 downgrade.

value_is_numeric uses static type information. An any assignment can still provide a tagged value at runtime. The tagged in-bounds store then skips js_array_note_numeric_write, leaving raw-f64 flags on the array. Later raw-layout reads or GC scanning can use the invalid layout. When write_barrier_needed is true, the code also emits the note before the barrier and calls it again afterward.

Use runtime-proven numeric bits. Emit the downgrade note once after the external barrier.

Gate on the Linux box, commit f0f36fc4e: clean. Formatting PASS, CI-plan self-test PASS, gap-snapshot PASS, parity-allowlist PASS, no ratchet ceilings raised; the 3 FAIL steps are the environmental ${{ github.* }} ones (a changelog fragment is present). GC store-site inventory run separately on the same commit: PASS. Runtime suite 2845 passed; 1 faileddiscovers_a_map_from_a_later_loaded_shared_object, the known parallel-flaky test from #9197 that reproduces on unmodified origin/main. This diff is codegen only.

…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. Nested-loop read
benchmark unchanged.

Differential written for this change: frozen array (stores ignored), sealed and
preventExtensions (in-bounds ok, growth refused), element accessor descriptor
(setter must run), extension past length, mixed types through one slot, store
into a formerly numeric array. 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.

Merged.

"The gate was one conjunct" is the right framing and the diagnosis is convincing: the inline guard already tested everything the out-of-line call tests, and the in-bounds arm below already knew how to store a tagged value — only the guard in front of it was withheld, on require_numeric_layout. A boolean[] paying a call per store for the life of the program because of a conjunct that was about the raw-f64 arm rather than about the store is exactly the kind of thing that survives review by looking deliberate.

What I probed is the guard's rejection set, since widening a fast path is only safe if the inline guard declines everything the out-of-line one declines. Byte-identical to node 26.5.1 on all of:

  • boolean[] and a mixed any[] (objects, strings, integers, booleans interleaved) — 300/300 slots correct
  • a non-writable element descriptor installed with Object.defineProperty (store must not take)
  • Object.freeze and Object.seal receivers, including an out-of-bounds store on the sealed one
  • growth past capacity plus a far hole (g[400] on a 200-element array)
  • a prototype-chain mutationArray.prototype[7] = "proto7" then reading p[7] and 7 in p, which is the invalidation-byte condition the guard has to honour

Then the same file under PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE=1, PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1 with a seeded aggressive schedule, and PERRY_GEN_GC=0 — identical output on every arm, plus the #9246 pointer/scalar-transition probe (400 slots, pointers overwritten by scalars and back, 60k allocations of churn) still clean.

One thing I added to my probe because of a mistake I made earlier today, and it's worth passing on. When I audited #9169 I tested iterators thoroughly — for…of, manual next(), spread, Map/Set/String iterators, an own next shadowing the thunk, matchAll — and merged it. It broke main for four and a half hours, because every method I probed actually existed as an own or inherited property, and the shapes it broke were the iterator helpers Perry synthesizes in the dispatch tower (#9247). So this probe includes [...gen().map(f)], .take(2) and .filter(…) even though they have nothing to do with array stores — the point is that a receiver-shape change should be probed against surfaces that are produced rather than stored, and that class is invisible to any probe built from properties you can see.

Validation: perry-codegen 31 suites / 0 failures; perry-runtime 2872 passed / 0 failed at RUST_TEST_THREADS=1; all static gates green including both gc_store_site_inventory invocations and its self-test; the gap suite running against this build shows only snapshot-recorded parity_fail entries (test_gap_2159, test_gap_2514 — both bug-open in gap_snapshot.json, neither new).

The rebase dropped #9246's commit cleanly as already-applied, so what landed here is just the second commit.
