Summary

const a = [1]; a.push = (x) => "own:" + x; a.push(9) ran the builtin and printed 2. It now calls the own method, prints own:9 and leaves a.length at 1, matching Node. This closes #11021, the one case #10958 left out of the #10943 own-override gate, and it does so without a diamond and with no cost on the inline store.

The issue assumed an array records nothing in its header that the inline tier can test. It does. Every install of an array's own named property arms OBJ_FLAG_ARRAY_DESCRIPTORS (0x400): both storages of array_named_property_set, and every Object.defineProperty route. Every inline push tier's admission mask already tests that bit (0x407 / 0x3C07 / 0xF487), so an array that owns push can never take the inline store. The missing piece was the second half of what the issue describes. Every slow arm called js_array_push_f64_spec, which returns the new head pointer, so none of them could return the own method's result.

Changes

  • Runtime (perry-runtime/src/object/own_override.rs): new js_array_push_f64_spec_or_own(arr, value, *own) -> u64.
    • With *own = 0 it returns the new head, exactly as the old call did. With *own = 1 it returns the own method's result bits.
    • The entry is thin. The plain case reuses the single header probe js_array_push_f64_spec already makes (push_spec_if_plain, split out of it in array/push_pop.rs). Everything else is in a #[cold] out-of-line function, which does a non-allocating lookup (does the live head own push in its accessor descriptors or named properties?) only when the bit is set.
    • own_override now has separate resolve and invoke halves, so this caller skips PERRY_OWN_NAMED_PROP_INSTALLED. That flag is never armed by js_array_set_string_key's direct install.
    • The resolve half classifies the value it already read (value_is_own_user_method) instead of doing a second Get, so an own accessor's getter runs once.
  • Codegen (perry-codegen/src/expr/array_push_own.rs, array_push.rs): OwnPushJoin gives each of the five Expr::ArrayPush slow arms an exit whose value is the method's return, merged in with a phi. The arms are spec-order, typed-feedback numeric fallback, forwarded, realloc and the local tail. The branch to that exit is marked unlikely (llvm.expect.i1). The inline store block is unchanged.
  • Zero-argument push: a.push() is a call-only NativeMethodCall, so it now goes through the existing An own property shadowing a native method is IGNORED on Map/Set/RegExp/Date/Array — m.get = () => x; m.get() runs the native method (wrong value, plain JS, on main) #10943 folded-node diamond (folded_builtin_override.rs).
  • Housekeeping: rewrote the stale "push is out of the gate" comments in own_override_guard.rs and folded_builtin_override.rs, added the new consumer to the raw-f64 verifier, and declared the new runtime entry.

Still open:

Test plan

Built locally against LLVM 22.1.8. The fixtures were run on the release build with 16 codegen units and again on the shipping release profile (thin LTO, one codegen unit).

  • cargo test --release -p perry-codegen --lib: 1711 passed.

    • New expr/array_push_own_tests.rs checks the emitted IR: both inline slow arms and the spec-order arm call the own-aware push and never the bare one, the own exits reach a phi, apush.inbounds has no trace of the exit, and every admission mask (pointer, number and string pushes) includes 0x400.
    • I sabotaged those tests twice (reverted one slow arm to the bare call, narrowed a mask to 7) and saw them fail both times.
    • a_metadata_selected_add_keeps_the_runtime_number_guard now pins the numeric fallback to the own-aware call. There is a new folded_builtin_override test for the zero-argument node.
  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --lib -- array:: own_override object::native_call_method: 412 passed. That includes the new object/own_override_push_tests.rs, covering:

    • the builtin exit for a plain array and for an array with an unrelated named property;
    • the bit being armed on both named-property storages;
    • the probe through a forwarded alias;
    • the own exit's return value, with nothing appended;
    • the throw for a non-callable own push.
  • Parity fixtures:

    • test_parity_own_override_beats_builtin.ts gains 14 rows across the tiers. All are red on main and byte-identical to Node here.
    • test_parity_11006_noncallable_own_builtin.ts's array.push row was red on main (2 instead of TypeError) and is green now.
    • Frozen, sealed and non-extensible pushes still throw, and regex-result arrays still behave as before.
    • After a caught throw from an own push, later implicit-this reads still match Node.
  • Gap-suite A/B, main vs this branch: all 1019 test_gap_* programs, output compared byte-for-byte. 1018 are identical; the one difference is console.time jitter in test_gap_console_methods. 65 tests need the ext-http/ext-net/wasm-host archives and didn't compile on either build in my setup, so CI is their only coverage.

  • Instructions per iteration (callgrind, (Ir(2N) − Ir(N)) / N, shipping profile, main → this branch):

    benchmark main this branch
    hot a.push(i) 42.234 42.232
    s += a.push(i) 154.215 152.238
    a.push({v: i}) 1987.783 1988.531 (main's own run-to-run spread is ~1)
    captured receiver (local tail, every push goes through the new entry) 529.259 529.254
    a.indexOf(x) 477.250 477.250
    element read (control) 15.031 15.031

    The first version of the fix cost the captured row +46 and then +32, and the object-push loop +3. The perf: commit removes both costs; its message has the breakdown.

  • cargo fmt --check on the touched files, check_file_size.sh, and the address-classification, store-site, runtime-root-holder, pin-site, test-registration, global-sink, raw-handle and unrooted-local (vs. merge base) audits all pass. cargo clippy adds nothing in touched files; its errors are pre-existing approx_constant hits in untouched tests.

Checklist

  • I have NOT bumped the workspace version or edited CLAUDE.md / CHANGELOG.md (maintainer handles these at merge)
  • My commits follow the loose feat: / fix: / docs: / chore: prefix convention used in the log

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Arrays with their own push method now call it instead of using the built-in behavior. Its return value is preserved, and a non-callable own push throws a TypeError without appending.
    • Arrays without an own push continue to use built-in behavior, including arrays with unrelated custom properties.
    • Appending to sealed or non-extensible arrays now throws an error instead of silently leaving the array unchanged.

`const a = [1]; a.push = (x) => "own:" + x; a.push(9)` ran the builtin
and returned 2. It now calls the own method and returns its value, with
nothing appended, across every tier `Expr::ArrayPush` lowers to.

No diamond and no cost on the inline store: every inline push tier's
admission mask already tests OBJ_FLAG_ARRAY_DESCRIPTORS, which every
install of an array's own named property arms, so an array that owns
`push` always lands in a slow arm. Each of the five slow arms (spec-order,
numeric fallback, forwarded, realloc, local tail) now calls
js_array_push_f64_spec_or_own, whose i32 out-flag selects between the
new head (the old call, unchanged) and the own method's return, which
OwnPushJoin phis in as the expression's value. The runtime answers the
common case from the single header probe js_array_push_f64_spec already
made, and asks the precise non-allocating question only when the bit is
set.

`a.push()` (a NativeMethodCall, call-only) joins the #10943 folded-node
diamond. `a.push(x, y)` and `a.push(...xs)` remain open.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Array push slow paths now check for an own push method and return its result without appending when one is found. Code generation joins that result with the ordinary push result. Zero-argument push calls use the folded override path.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 314d9

An argument that changes an array’s own push method can cause the wrong method to run. This is a narrow edge case, but it should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 314d9

The change lets a method installed on an array run and supply the call’s result. The inspected path does not show a new privilege or service boundary, but exception recovery and some repeated-call cases are not fully verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A caller that reaches a supported array-push slow path with an array bearing its own push property can trigger that property’s user method. The inspected path shows JavaScript-level execution with the call’s existing authority, not a new privileged resource or cross-service capability.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The runtime uses an own-property check before resolving the method, rejects non-callable values, and roots the receiver, method, and argument across invocation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The source separates own-method completion from builtin mutation, but the inspected tests do not establish full recovery after a throwing or reentrant own method, or full invocation through a stale array alias.

Comment thread crates/perry-runtime/src/object/own_override.rs
Measured on the shipping profile (thin LTO, one codegen unit), the first
cut cost a captured receiver +32 instructions per push and an object-push
loop +3:

* everything past the plain push now lives in a #[cold] out-of-line
  function, so the entry has no frame of its own (+28 -> 0);
* push_spec_if_plain is inline(always), so both entries inline the plain
  push instead of the second one calling it;
* the own-exit branch carries llvm.expect.i1(false), without which the new
  blocks cost the hot loop three register moves per iteration.

Now flat on every row: captured receiver 529.259 -> 529.254, object push
1987.783 -> 1988.531 (within main's own spread), indexOf and element read
identical.

On the review summary's "retained concern" that IMPLICIT_THIS stays bound if an own push throws: I couldn't reproduce it, so no code change.

The save/restore pair in invoke_own_user_method is the one call_own_user_method already used (#10943). A throw caught by a JS try restores IMPLICIT_THIS through the catch savepoints (exception/savepoints.rs, the implicit_this entry added in #10564), which cover exactly this bare-pair shape.

I checked it empirically: an own push that throws, is caught, and is followed by plain-function calls, function expressions and [0].map(function () { return this }), all in a loop and in strict mode. This branch's output is byte-identical to Node, with this === undefined in each of those calls after every caught throw.
