perf(codegen): key the element-shape loop clone on a runtime shape for JSON records by proggeramlug · Pull Request #10171 · PerryTS/perry

proggeramlug · 2026-09-13T07:36:43Z

for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) sum += rows[7].id and
for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) { const index = i % length; sum += rows[index].id; }
over a JSON.parse'd record array now run in the #7480 call-free element-shape
fast clone. They previously ran the full element-read + field-read diamond pair
— 114 instructions per iteration against V8's 7.4.

Why the clone could not fire

Four independent blockers, each of which alone kept it dark:

The invariant refused class 0. element_identity_of_bits returned
None for class_id == 0, and every parsed record is class 0 with an
ordinary birth ShapeId (object/json_construction.rs). No parsed record
array could ever carry an element-shape proof.
The matcher needed a compile-time class. rows: any resolves to no
class, and no packed field index can be baked without one.
The brand test ran before the head repair. JSON.parse of a top-level
array in [1 KB, 16 MB] returns a GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY header, which the
preheader's GC_TYPE_ARRAY brand rejected — before the repair that would
have materialized it.
The residual per-element check required GC_OBJ_TYPED_LAYOUT_INTACT. A
parsed record never has that bit: both layout_init_pointer_free and
layout_mark_unknown clear it explicitly. The clone would have been
emitted, entered, and then side-exited on the first element of every loop —
with every IR-census assertion still passing.

Plus the grammar: the index had to be exactly the counter, so neither
rows[7] nor const d = i % n; rows[d] was admitted.

What this does

Runtime (84ee63f). Admit class 0 keyed on the exact ordinary ShapeId.
That identity is strictly narrower than the class-level one, and necessarily
so — "same class" is vacuous when the class is 0 — so element_matches_record
declines the two class-level fallbacks for a class-0 record explicitly rather
than relying on both failing closed by coincidence. Two new generated-code
entry points: js_array_ensure_element_shape_ordinary (the ShapeId for a
class-0 proof, 0 for a class-keyed one — the two are deliberately not
interchangeable, since a class-keyed record matches at class level and its
ordinary_shape_id is the first element's shape, not a per-element guarantee)
and js_shape_ordinary_inline_slot_for_key (the inline slot a plain ordinary
shape assigns to a key, or -1, behind four conjuncts that make "slot k == key
position k" true). js_array_ensure_element_shape still returns the class id,
so every existing consumer reads a class-0 proof as "no proof".

Codegen. A second, shape-keyed arm in the same matcher and the same
preheader emitter:

the repair now precedes the brand, and the brand is applied to the repaired
head. js_array_refresh_local_head is safe on an unbranded value by
construction — it resolves through clean_arr_ptr, which returns null for
every tracked non-array, an extends Array instance included.
the preheader asks the runtime for the exact ShapeId, then for each tracked
property's inline slot in that shape. Both are loop-invariant, so the read
stays one bare offset load.
the residual mask drops the typed-layout conjunct and the loaded word is
tag-tested as a Number instead, with a side exit to the slow clone. That is
not weaker — it is the same "this is a raw double" claim, established from
the value rather than from a layout declaration.
rows[k] and const d = i % m; rows[d] are admitted, each with its own
preheader bounds obligation (length > k, 1 <= m <= length), so the clone
still pays no per-read bounds test. The derived binding is virtual in the
clone: its Let emits one srem i32, because the generic % lowering is a
runtime call and a call inside this clone deletes it rather than slowing it
(fix(gc): restore evacuation at precise safepoints — the pacing half of #7682 #7690). The matcher admits exactly one index form per loop, and the fact
lookup re-checks the spelling, so a fact can never serve a read whose
obligation was not discharged.

The revocation argument is unchanged. It never mentioned classes: every funnel
that retires a class-keyed proof retires a shape-keyed one, and call-free
remains the whole admission test, enforced by the matcher and by the
post-emission scan of every block the clone owns (now including the new
element_shape.number blocks — fast_clone_slice was widened, or every
negative assertion against it would have been partly vacuous).

Deviations from the filed design

The per-read bounds check the design sketched for the constant and
derived-index forms is hoisted into the preheader instead (length > k,
m <= length). Both obligations are loop-invariant, so paying them per read
bought nothing. The fact therefore carries no length_i32.
runtime_field_slots and the static fields map are one map of
ElementShapeFieldSlot::{Packed, Runtime} rather than two parallel ones,
so no consumer can read the wrong one.
A constant-index loop does not require the counter's canonical i32 slot.
stmt/let_stmt.rs mints one only for an index-used or i32-bounded local, and
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) sum += rows[7].id is neither — demanding one
would have declined the benchmark's own repeat shape. The trip test falls
back to the double compare lower_for_after_init_with_i32_bound already
handles. The matcher, the fact lookup and the field lowering all ask the same
needs_counter_i32_slot() question, so they cannot disagree.

sequential now beats both node and bun at every size. repeat is 21-28%
faster and still 1.2-1.34x node: at 16 instructions the body is latency-bound
on the element load, which is why the wall-clock win is smaller than the
instruction win.

(ns per op.) scan's inner loop — for (let j = 0; j < value.length; j++) sum += value[j].id over an any local — is the counter-indexed form of the same
clone, and the preheader's head repair materializes the lazy parsed array in
bulk instead of leaving it to per-element lazy reads.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Performance
- Improved optimization of loops processing homogeneous records from JSON.parse arrays.
- Supports counter-based, constant, and modulo-derived element indexes.
- Handles lazy and eager arrays while preserving safe fallback behavior for mixed shapes, invalid values, and out-of-bounds access.
Bug Fixes
- Improved handling of record arrays with consistent object layouts and multiple tracked fields.
- Preserved correctness after mutations, shape changes, and non-numeric values.
Tests
- Added comprehensive regression coverage for supported and rejected cloning scenarios.

The per-array homogeneous element-shape invariant (#7480) keyed every proof on a class id, and `element_identity_of_bits` refused `class_id == 0` outright. Every `JSON.parse`'d record is class 0 with an ordinary birth ShapeId (`object/json_construction.rs`), so no parsed record array could ever carry a proof — the one array shape the invariant's consumer most wants to reason about was structurally excluded. Admit class 0, keyed on the EXACT ordinary ShapeId the descriptor probe already validated. That identity is strictly narrower than the class-level one it replaces, and it has to be: "same class" is vacuous when the class is 0, so `element_matches_record` now declines the two class-level fallbacks for a class-0 record rather than relying on both of them failing closed by coincidence. Two new generated-code-facing entry points: * `js_array_ensure_element_shape_ordinary` — establish-or-confirm, returning the proven ordinary ShapeId for a class-0 proof and 0 for a class-keyed one. The two proofs are deliberately not interchangeable: a class-keyed record matches at class level, so its `ordinary_shape_id` is the first element's shape and not a per-element guarantee. * `js_shape_ordinary_inline_slot_for_key` — the inline slot a PLAIN ordinary shape assigns to a key, or -1. Four conjuncts make "slot k == key position k" true (ordinary kind, generation 0, no holes, every key inline); dropping any one would produce a wrong offset rather than a missed optimization, so each is asserted separately. The key arrives as the whole NaN-box rather than a masked pointer, because a short property name reaches the string pool as an SSO immediate whose masked low bits are packed characters and not an address. `js_array_ensure_element_shape` still returns the class id, so every existing consumer reads a class-0 proof exactly as "no proof".

`for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) sum += rows[7].id` and `for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) { const index = i % length; sum += rows[index].id; }` over a `JSON.parse`'d record array now run in the #7480 call-free element-shape fast clone. They previously ran the full element-read + field-read diamond pair. The clone keyed every proof on a compile-time class, which is exactly what a parsed record array does not have. Four things kept it dark, each independently sufficient: * the matcher needed a resolvable element class, and `rows: any` has none; * the preheader's `GC_TYPE_ARRAY` brand ran BEFORE the growth-forwarding repair, so the `GC_TYPE_LAZY_ARRAY` header `JSON.parse` returns for a top-level array in [1 KB, 16 MB] was rejected before the repair that would have materialized it; * the residual per-element check required `GC_OBJ_TYPED_LAYOUT_INTACT`, which a parsed record never has — the clone would have been emitted, entered, and then side-exited on the first element of every loop, with every IR-census assertion still passing; * the index had to be exactly the counter, so neither `rows[7]` nor `const d = i % n; rows[d]` was admitted. The second arm proves the same thing about a different identity: the preheader asks `js_array_ensure_element_shape_ordinary` for the exact ordinary ShapeId every element carries, then `js_shape_ordinary_inline_slot_for_key` for each tracked property's inline slot in that shape. Both are loop-invariant, so the read stays one bare offset load. The repair now precedes the brand (the refresh is safe on an unbranded value by construction: it resolves through `clean_arr_ptr`, which returns null for every tracked non-array). The residual mask drops the typed-layout conjunct and the loaded word is tag-tested as a Number instead, side-exiting to the slow clone when it is not one — the same "this slot holds a raw double" claim, established from the value rather than from a layout declaration. `rows[k]` and `const d = i % m; rows[d]` each carry their own preheader bounds obligation (`length > k`, `1 <= m <= length`), so the clone still pays no per-read bounds test. The derived binding is virtual inside the clone: its `Let` emits one `srem i32`, because the generic `%` lowering is a runtime call and a call inside this clone deletes it rather than slowing it (#7690). The matcher admits exactly one index form per loop and the fact lookup re-checks the spelling, so a fact can never serve a read whose obligation was not discharged. A constant-index loop deliberately does not require the counter's canonical i32 slot: `stmt/let_stmt.rs` mints one only for an index-used or i32-bounded local, and the `repeat` shape's counter is neither. The matcher, the fact lookup and the field lowering all ask the same `needs_counter_i32_slot()` question. The revocation argument is unchanged — it never mentioned classes, and call-free remains the whole admission test. `fast_clone_slice` was widened to own the new `element_shape.number` blocks, or every negative assertion against it would have been partly vacuous.

The shape-keyed clone (#10123) was entered by a `cond_br` the IR census could see and never once at run time on its own benchmark. The preheader still emitted the counter arm's `length >= bound`, so `for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) sum += rows[7].id` over a 7,600-element array asked it to prove `length >= 1000000` — false — and a million iterations ran the slow clone. Measured: 5.73 ns/iter before, 5.43 after, with the whole optimization inert. The counter is not an index in the `Constant` and `DerivedMod` forms, so the verified prefix has nothing to say about the trip count; each form already carries its own obligation (`length > k`, `m <= length`). The `arr.length` trip-count arm keeps its i32-fits check for every index form, because the emitted trip test is signed whatever the index is. Both shape-keyed index tests now assert the ABSENCE of the counter arm's comparison, which is the assertion that would have caught this: the derived case pins the count at exactly one `icmp uge`, and the counter case asserts the obligation is still there, so neither can drift into the other. `element_shape_loop_tests.rs` crosses the 2000-line cap with those cases, so the shape-keyed half moves to `element_shape_shape_keyed_tests.rs` — a CHILD module, because every helper it uses is private to the parent and duplicating an IR census is how two of them drift apart. `let_stmt.rs` crossed the cap too; its two virtual-binding arms (#7771's element binding, #10123's derived index) are now one call into `element_shape_loop::lower_virtual_clone_binding`, which is where their soundness arguments belong anyway.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds class-0 ordinary-shape proofs and runtime slot lookup. Code generation now supports shape-keyed loop clones for untyped record arrays, constant indices, and modulo-derived indices. Runtime, codegen, and regression tests cover guards, mutations, fallbacks, and bounds.

Changes

JSON record loop cloning

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Ordinary shape proofs and slot lookup `crates/perry-runtime/src/array/`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/object/`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/*`	Class-0 arrays now retain an exact `ShapeId`. New runtime functions establish ordinary-shape proofs and resolve property slots.
Shape-aware guard contracts `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/mod.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/element_shape_guard.rs`	Guards now support class and ordinary-shape identities, runtime field slots, repaired array heads, and index-specific bounds. Shape-keyed loads omit typed-layout validation and perform Number-tag checks.
Loop matching and clone lowering `crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/element_shape_loop.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/property_get/helpers.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/shadow_slot.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/let_stmt.rs`	Loop matching admits counter, constant, and modulo-derived indices. The clone materializes bounds, emits derived `srem` operations, and preserves class-keyed behavior.
Regression coverage and measurements `crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/tests.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/tests.rs`, `test-files/test_gap_json_record_loop_clone.ts`, `changelog.d/10171-json-record-loop-clone.md`	Tests cover admission, rejection, mutations, fallbacks, runtime slot queries, and index bounds. The changelog records benchmark and regression measurements.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The direct issue #10123 requires GC-policy work: determine whether large-object births feed full-collection triggering, explain old_pending=false, assess bounded arena-trigger rebaselining, and run the GC ratchet corpus before and after the change. The PR implements JSON record-array loop cloning, runtime shape proofs, index forms, and related tests. The summary provides no GC-policy implementation or ratchet-corpus result.

Resolution

Create a dedicated GC-policy change for #10123. It must implement the required trigger or rebaselining investigation outcome and provide before-and-after GC ratchet results. Do not use this JSON loop-clone PR as the implementation for #10123.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR changes shape-keyed JSON loop cloning and adds codegen, runtime, and JSON regression tests. Issue #10123 explicitly scopes its work as separate GC-policy work and excludes it from a JSON performance change. These changes therefore do not stay within the linked issue's scope.

… read The local binding type-proof audit requires every local_type_hint read to carry a classification. array_is_untyped reads the declared type only to decline the shape-keyed element-shape loop clone for a receiver with any layout claim; admission still goes through the preheader's runtime proof and the per-element residual check.

proggeramlug · 2026-09-13T09:24:03Z

Independent review and re-measurement (not the implementing agent's numbers).

Read the diff:

Runtime: element_identity_of_bits admits class 0 keyed on the exact ShapeId; element_matches_record fails closed for a class-0 record unless the ShapeId is equal (both class-level fallbacks were already false for class 0 — this makes it local). js_array_ensure_element_shape_ordinary returns 0 for a class-keyed proof on purpose. js_shape_ordinary_inline_slot_for_key's four plainness conjuncts (Ordinary kind, semantic_generation == 0, hole_count == 0, all keys inline) are exactly the conditions under which slot k == key k; the key crosses as the whole NaN-box (SSO immediates).
Codegen: the residual per-element check is ELEM_HEADER_SHAPE_MASK = 0x0800_80FF / EXPECT = 2 (drops GC_OBJ_TYPED_LAYOUT_INTACT, which a parsed record never carries) plus the per-read ShapeId compare and a Number tag test on the loaded word. The call-free admission scan (contains_gc_unsafe_call over preheader + body, clone deleted otherwise) is unchanged. The derived index materializes the modulus via materialize_loop_i32(.., 1, i32::MAX, ..), so % 0 and non-integral moduli go to the slow clone and srem can never divide by zero; the unsigned length >= m excludes negatives; the constant index owes length > k in the preheader. The gap test pins rows[7] on a 3-element array, modulus past length, % 0, heterogeneous key sets, key order, and non-numeric fields.

CI: cargo-test fails exactly main's one unrelated test (native_stack::tests::stack_top_respects_custom_thread_stack_sizes; 3687 passed). The first run's lint job additionally failed the local-binding type-proof audit on the new array_is_untyped hint read; 2b77e7d4fe adds the classification (runtime-validated: the hint only declines the clone, admission is the runtime proof + residual check) and the rerun's lint fails only the pre-existing public-baseline step. Gap suite: the rerun's failing set is main's 10 plus test_gap_cron_cronjob, which passed on the first run of a codegen-identical binary (the only commit between them is the JSON allowlist) and on main — a wall-clock flake.

Re-measured on my build of 2b77e7d4fe (PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1, scratchpad/access/access-worker.ts, 1M iterations, 5 interleaved rounds, best of 5, loaded shared host; base is a pre-#10171 perry build from another tree, so read it as approximate):

`records_array_20m:sequential`	4.19	7.93	6.95	8.10	0.603

Emitted IR for the worker contains the shape-keyed preheader (js_array_ensure_element_shape_ordinary / js_shape_ordinary_inline_slot_for_key, 10 call sites) and the modulus blocks.

Same-base instruction counts (this branch vs its own base 8a058e2053, built in the same worktree, instructions retired per iteration over 2M iterations minus a 0-iteration run):

loop	base	#10171
`16k repeat`	116	15
`16k sequential`	173	24
`16k random`	214	221
`16k fields`	466	466
`20m random`	184	183

So the clone's wins are as reported and the loops it does not admit (random: the index is not counter % m; fields: three reads incl. .name.length and a ternary) are unchanged. The base (other tree) column in the table above is ~10 % better than this branch's own base on those two loops; that is drift between the two trees, not this PR.

Verdict: the diff does what it says, the safety story holds, CI matches main modulo one wall-clock flake, and the numbers reproduce. sequential is at parity or better at every size; repeat stays 1.2–1.3× Node (latency-bound at 15 instructions); fields and random (2.2–4.4× Node) are not addressed by this PR and remain the open access rows. Taking it out of draft.

+        // #10123: a class-0 ordinary object is admitted, keyed on the exact
+        // ShapeId the descriptor probe above just validated. Every
+        // `JSON.parse`'d record is one (`object/json_construction.rs` stamps
+        // `class_id = 0` and an ordinary birth shape), and refusing them here
+        // is the reason no element-shape proof was ever established for a
+        // parsed record array.
+        //
+        // The identity is never `(0, 0)`: `shape_descriptor_by_id` answers
+        // `None` for id 0, so the `Ordinary` test above already rejected it.
+        // And a class-0 proof cannot be mistaken for a class-keyed one by an
+        // existing consumer, because every one of them compares against a
+        // NONZERO class id — `js_array_ensure_element_shape` keeps returning
+        // `class_id`, so a class-0 proof reads to them exactly as "no proof".
+        // What makes the identity usable is that a class-0 record's shape is
+        // compared EXACTLY (see `element_matches_record`), which is strictly
+        // narrower than the class-level match.

Replace the incorrect #10123 attribution.

Issue #10123 tracks separate GC-policy work according to the PR objectives. These comments incorrectly associate it with shape-keyed loop cloning. Replace it with the correct feature identifier. The changelog filename indicates #10171, or remove the identifier if no linked issue applies.

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/element_shape.rs#L297-L313: replace the issue identifier in the class-0 admission comment.

crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/arrays.rs#L63-L66: replace the issue identifier in the FFI declaration comment.

crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/strings.rs#L1156-L1159: replace the issue identifier in the slot-query declaration comment.

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/element_shape.rs#L146-L150: replace the issue identifier in the proof-field comment.

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/element_shape.rs#L346-L357: replace the issue identifier in the class-0 matching comment.

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/element_shape.rs#L775-L796: replace the issue identifier in the shape-keyed FFI documentation.

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/element_shape.rs#L831-L849: replace the issue identifier in the keepalive documentation.

crates/perry-runtime/src/object/shapes.rs#L866-L866: replace the issue identifier in the slot-query documentation.

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/element_shape_tests.rs#L666-L666: replace the issue identifier in the test section heading.

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/element_shape_tests.rs#L726-L726: replace the issue identifier in the assertion message.

crates/perry-runtime/src/array/element_shape_tests.rs#L862-L862: replace the issue identifier in the slot-query test heading.

crates/perry-runtime/src/object/shapes_tests.rs#L1137-L1138: replace the issue identifier in the regression-test heading.

crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/element_shape_loop_tests.rs#L373-L374: replace the issue identifier in the clone-block documentation.

crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/element_shape_loop_tests.rs#L1620-L1625: replace the issue identifier in the child-module documentation.

test-files/test_gap_json_record_loop_clone.ts#L1-L7: replace the issue identifier in the runtime-test header.

Based on the PR objectives, Issue #10123 is explicitly separate GC-policy work.

Landed via merge train #10188 (rebase-merged; main 5cec2fbbc9, tree identical to the train), cherry-picked onto 6874a9eb73 with the version bump to 0.5.1549. Validation and the CI attribution against main are in #10188.

…random access shapes Three additions on top of #10171's shape-keyed arm, all needed together for the JSON access benchmark's two remaining shapes: - a LOOP-CARRIED index (`c = (a*c + b) % m; ... rows[c]`), folded to one affine pair and evaluated as `srem i64`, with the write-back placed at the END of the iteration so a mid-iteration side exit cannot double-apply the recurrence; - K accumulator statements folded into one, so the whole iteration commits once, past every side exit it can take; - `arr[i].prop.length` on a string field and `arr[i].prop ? A : B` on a boolean one, each tag-testing the loaded word and side-exiting otherwise. Plus a shared once-per-iteration element deref/residual check, hung off the body's leading virtual binding, so three reads of one element pay one check.
