codegen: keep the packed clone when a length-bounded body reads a[k ± c] (#9259) - #9274
Conversation
… c] (PerryTS#9259) An `arr.length`-bounded packed-f64 loop kept its fast clone for `a[k]`, and lost it ENTIRELY -- not partially -- as soon as the body also read `a[k - 1]`. The failure was a cascade. Three separate predicates encode "an index this loop's guard covers" as a bare `Expr::LocalGet(counter_id)`, so `a[k - 1]` (an `Expr::Binary`) matched none of them. The matcher's body walker declined (`read_body_is_safe == false`, surfaced as `clone_not_call_free` at loops.rs:4932 -- not the post-hoc `fast_clone_not_call_free` at 4173, which is a different line), the offset read fell back to a helper CALL, and the clone's call-free scan then discarded the whole clone. The plain `a[k]` in the same loop lost its fast path with it: 8ms -> 72ms on a 4096-element loop, flipping the shape from beating node to 5.5x behind it. Two matchers each cover half the shape and neither covers the combination. `lower_packed_f64_versioned_for` understands the `i < arr.length` bound but publishes `window_validated: false`; `lower_packed_f64_range_versioned_for` validates the offset window but accepts only a literal or loop-invariant bound, and per its own call-site comment runs only after the first declined. `arr.length` is the idiomatic spelling, so the natural form was the slow one. The fix admits a constant offset and pays the same inline `icmp ult idx, len` a foreign counter already pays, taking the fact's existing side exit when it fails -- a compare and a never-taken branch, not a call, so the clone stays call-free. That machinery already existed (PerryTS#9161); what was missing was letting an offset index reach it. Scope note: because matcher and lowering now share one index parser, this admits an offset on the FOREIGN counter too (`a[j - 1]` for an enclosing loop's `j`), not only on the loop's own. That is deliberate -- the bounds check makes both cases identical, and having the two predicates agree is what keeps the clone call-free -- but it is a wider admission than the headline shape and is called out here rather than left to be discovered in review. Soundness: the versioned guard ends in `js_array_is_numeric_f64_layout`, a WHOLE-ARRAY property that answers 0 for a holes-flagged array, so a passing guard means every in-bounds slot is raw f64. `window_validated: false` is a statement about BOUNDS, not holes -- and bounds are exactly what the inline check re-establishes. The compare is unsigned, so a negative index (`a[k-1]` at `k == 0`) exceeds any length and side-exits. Reads only: a store side exit re-executes the iteration, harmless for a read and double-applying for a store, which is why this is wired into the read walker and none of the three store matchers. Known remaining cap, not addressed here: `accumulator_rhs_is_numeric` (stable_packed_accumulator.rs:45) and `has_numeric_index_fact` (stable_packed_loop.rs:1379) carry the same bare-`LocalGet` assumption, so `s += a[k] + a[k-1]` still admits the clone but keeps a dynamic add. Widening those needs the caller's guarantee threaded in: the versioned tier is hole-free per the guard above, but the range tier sets `allow_holes` and is not. Credit to the parallel investigation on PerryTS#9259 for isolating that. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Pcq6j6y57TdKSR2Zx2D187

Describe the bounds branch as conditional.
The inline check can take the side exit for negative or out-of-range offsets, as stated in Lines [33-34]. Replace “never-taken branch” with “conditional side exit” so the performance claim does not contradict the documented safety behavior.

…of (41 -> 16 ms) (#9279) `accumulator_rhs_is_numeric`'s `IndexGet` arm required a bare `Expr::LocalGet` index, so `a[k - 1]` was not numeric, the accumulator never earned its number proof, and every `+` in the enclosing expression lowered to a tag-test diamond over `js_dynamic_string_or_number_add` — three `is_number` tests and two helper calls on the cold arm, per iteration. That is the cost #9060 and #9091 already removed for the bare-counter form. Measured on the quiet host, `k < 4096`, `s = s + a[k] + a[k-1]` over a 4096-element `number[]`, 2000 reps: before 41 ms after 16 ms node 8 ms Nothing else moves: the plain-index rows stay at 7-8 ms and the length-bounded row stays at ~100 ms, since that one falls off both tiers for a different reason (#9259, @ECS1's #9274). Threaded per tier rather than widened. `collect_numeric_accumulators` takes `offset_reads_inlined` from each admission site: * range tier: `true`. It publishes `window_validated`, so its guard proved the whole window, and its hole-tolerant loads side-exit before producing a value — an offset read is lowered inline and yields a Number. * versioned and stable-packed tiers: `false`. Their offset reads take the generic path, which can produce `undefined`; admitting that as numeric would be a wrong answer rather than a missed optimisation. What the added tests do and do not guard, stated plainly because I checked: they cover the correctness of the shape this admits — an index that runs off either end, a hole inside the window, a non-numeric element, and a leading string that must concatenate rather than add, which is what a wrongly granted numeric proof would turn into a native `fadd`. They do NOT guard the per-tier flag. I flipped the versioned tier to `true` deliberately and all six still passed, because no loop reaches that tier with an offset read today — such a loop falls off both tiers (#9259). The flag becomes observable when #9274 lands, and flipping it then needs an `arr.length`-bounded fixture to be tested at all. perry-codegen 1843/0, perry-hir 596/0, `-D warnings` 0, local-binding-type audit OK, 34 packed-loop integration tests across 5 files including the 6 added.

…9225's linear scan gated — cc --help −1.25% instructions, −2.37% cycles (#9291) * wip(runtime): address windows for the symbol and Uint8Array probes Hoist #9177's symbol address range out of is_registered_symbol_slow into is_registered_symbol as a RegistryAddrWindow, so the common negative answer costs no call; add the same window to is_uint8array_buffer. Both rejections are re-derived from the authoritative tables under debug_assertions. Not yet measured on cc --help. * perf(runtime): a monotone address FILTER in front of the symbol and class-prototype probes Round 2 (#9272) put an inline [lo, hi] address window in front of the buffer and typed-array probes. Measured against the four probes it named as follow-up, a window is the wrong shape for two of them and the right shape for one: is_registered_symbol 378,163 calls, window rejects 38.3% is_registered_class_prototype_object 26,290 calls, window rejects 54.0% is_uint8array_buffer 537,921 calls, window rejects 100% Symbols and class prototypes are ordinary GC-heap objects, so [lo, hi] grows to cover most of the heap. RegistryAddrFilter is the same monotone contract over a 1024-bit Bloom filter instead of a range; replaying each probe's real argument stream from a cc --help run, it rejects 99.58% and 99.05%. is_uint8array_buffer keeps the cheaper window (100% rejection, 0 true answers). Every rejection is re-derived from the authoritative table under debug_assertions, so a registration route added without admitting panics in the first test that touches it. * changelog: registry-probe address filter (symbol, class prototype) + Uint8Array window * test(runtime): keep TEST_SYMBOL_REGISTRY_PROBES meaning 'entry past the latch' Two sabotage checks in other suites defeat a cheaper upstream screen and require this counter to move; counting filter admissions instead made them fail. Filter admissions get their own counter, mirroring typedarray::TEST_TA_WINDOW_ADMITTED_PROBES. * test(runtime): the unregistered-scratch probe sweep covers the class-prototype probe too * docs(runtime): the descriptor-target scan comment's premise is false for every bundle (#9225) * docs(runtime): name the filter's saturation regime and the knob for it * fix(runtime): the debug audits use try_lock/try_read, not lock/read The rejection path never took either lock, so a blocking audit could hang on a caller the audited code would not have. Sabotage-checked: removing the admit from either registration funnel fails 1 test (symbol) and 3 tests (class prototype), so the audits demonstrably run. * docs(runtime): the symbol side's comments and the funnel's name say 'filter', not 'range' * docs(runtime): bits accrue per admission (the collector re-keys both tables); record the end-of-run false-positive rate * revert: unrelated cargo fmt reformat of two perry-codegen files They are fmt-dirty on pristine main (42d0f45) from #9274/#9279; a stray `cargo fmt --all` picked them up. Reported separately, not fixed here. * test: split the #8067 shape-authority tests out of parent_static.rs parent_static.rs was at 1992 lines on main and this PR adds 52, crossing the 2000-line cap. Extracts the inline shape_authority_tests_8067 module to a sibling under parent_static/; body unchanged. --------- Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com>

That machinery already existed (#9161); what was missing was letting an offset index reach it.The real gate was the matcher, not the read lowering —

origin/maincarrying only the new test file, on the same machine with the same harness — not from an earlier build of a different tree. The comparison row gains 3.2× while the accumulator row gains 1.94×; that difference is the remaining cap described below, since a comparison sidesteps float-accumulator admission entirely.Tests

Work on that is happening in parallel and has already moved the literal-bound row 41 ms → 16 ms by threading anoffset_reads_inlinedguarantee from each admission site rather than widening the shared walk.That flag is currently
falsefor the versioned tier because offset reads did not inline there — which is precisely what this PR changes. Once this merges, flipping it becomes possible, and wants its own measurement rather than a speculative flip.https://claude.ai/code/session_01Pcq6j6y57TdKSR2Zx2D187
