Fixes #8485.

What changed

  • preserve a runtime-derived Number fact for undefined-seeded locals when every observable read is dominated by a Number-producing write
  • carry numeric plain-array call-site evidence into mixed specialized-ABI plans and validate it once per direct call
  • propagate successful descriptor proofs into the specialized body's local type map, allowing numeric element reads to feed native bitwise/add lowering
  • keep a boxed generic fallback whenever the numeric-array descriptor does not match

This removes the dynamic + and ^ envelope from both encipherUntyped and encipherTyped. The S/P typed-array loads remain on their existing native path.

Benchmark

Five runs of benchmarks/suite/bench_typed_array_untyped_access.ts, using a fresh release build of perry, perry-runtime-static, and perry-stdlib-static. Instructions retired are the primary signal.

median (5 runs) before after delta
wall 6.30 s 3.52 s -44.1%
instructions retired 86,740,343,839 56,612,344,138 -34.73%
peak RSS 11,714,560 B 5,554,176 B -52.6%
untyped / typed 1.0438 1.0017 improved

Wall ranges were disjoint despite host contention: 6.30–6.93 s before and 3.49–3.89 s after. The checksum remained -821955270 in every run.

The numeric/dynamic-heavy sweep rows stayed instruction-neutral:

median (5 runs) before after instruction delta
interp 0.61 s / 8,996,431,485 inst / 33,030,144 B RSS 0.67 s / 9,002,446,227 inst / 32,980,992 B RSS +0.067%
iso_miss 0.93 s / 14,788,875,174 inst / 32,817,152 B RSS 1.15 s / 14,797,545,801 inst / 32,833,536 B RSS +0.059%

Their wall ranges overlapped (interp: 0.59–0.68 s both; iso_miss: 0.91–1.66 s before, 1.06–1.27 s after), so the wall movement is contention noise.

Validation

  • all 19 programs in sweep-artifacts-0820/sources byte-exact against expected stdout/stderr
  • cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --lib (2,605 passed, 4 ignored)
  • cargo test --release -p perry --bin perry (1,008 passed)
  • cargo test --release -p perry-codegen --lib (1,121 passed)
  • bash scripts/run_lint_gates.sh (all 52 gates passed)

Summary by CodeRabbit

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds control-flow numeric proofs for locals and introduces NumberArray specialization. ABI planning converts eligible arrays to guarded boxed slots, and call lowering combines descriptor and range checks before selecting specialized or generic execution.

Changes

Numeric specialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Control-flow numeric proof analysis
crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/number_by_construction.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/hir_facts.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/int_valued_ta_locals.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/type_analysis/pod.rs
Numeric locals are tracked across writes, reads, loops, branches, and exception paths. Undefined initialization and non-numeric writes affect proof validity.
NumberArray discovery and eligibility
crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/spec_abi_sites.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/spec_abi_sites/tests.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/mod.rs
Numeric array literals receive NumberArray facts. The facts propagate through call-site analysis. Guarded parameter eligibility checks loops, reads, writes, and calls.
Guarded ABI planning and lowering
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/..., crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/func_ref.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/ordinary_param_guard_tests.rs, changelog.d/8491-numeric-envelope.md
Eligible NumberArray parameters use boxed slots with descriptor guards. Static calls combine descriptor and range checks, then select specialized or generic bodies. Numeric representations lower to DOUBLE where applicable.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to f7615

This compiler change broadens numeric specialization, but the current revision may emit incorrect native arithmetic when loop-carried undefined values or array mutations invalidate numeric proofs. These are high-impact correctness risks that should be fixed before merge; the release-note formatting issue is minor.

CI note: the lint job failure is outside this PR. raw_handle_debt.py reports crates/perry-runtime/src/array/iter_methods.rs at 6 bare reads versus its ceiling of 2; this PR changes no runtime files, and the violation comes from current main via #8482. The branch-local scripts/run_lint_gates.sh run passed all 52 gates.

Bundle the judging inputs into one struct.

judge_stmt and judge_expr now take three &HashSet<u32> parameters in a row: number_arrays, integer_locals, and ready. The threading repeats across roughly twenty recursive call sites in this file. Any two of those sets can be swapped without a type error, and the resulting misjudgment is silent.

Group the read-only inputs in one borrowed context struct, and pass out separately.

struct JudgeCtx<'a> {
    ta: &'a HashMap<u32, SpecTaBinding>,
    number_arrays: &'a HashSet<u32>,
    integer_locals: &'a HashSet<u32>,
    ready: &'a HashSet<u32>,
}

Each recursive call then reads judge_stmt(st, ctx, out).

Cover the remaining branches of guarded_number_array_param_eligible.

The three assertions cover the call term and the read-after-write term. Three terms of the predicate stay untested, and each one decides whether the descriptor proof is kept:

  • the contains_loop gate — a body with reads but no loop must be rejected,
  • the saw_read return — a body with a loop and a write but no read must be rejected,
  • the uses.read && uses.write term — a read and a write inside the same statement must be rejected.

Add the second body walk to the Stmt::While arm.

The first body walk can remove n from numberish, but the arm does not analyze the next iteration with that smaller state. Thus use(n) can read undefined while n remains in number_by_construction_locals. This fact can omit root stores and select raw numeric lowering. Match the two-pass treatment used by DoWhile and For, and add a regression test.

229 - 239, Update the Stmt::While arm to perform a second body analysis using
the back-edge state after rechecking the loop condition, matching the two-pass
behavior of DoWhile and For. Ensure the final numberish state reflects the next
iteration so use(n) cannot remain classified as defined after a body invalidates
it, and add a regression test covering this case.

Extend scan_expr to cover all call-like and mutating HIR variants.

P.push(...) lowers to Expr::ArrayPush or Expr::ArrayPushSpread, and P.sort(...) lowers to a dedicated array-method variant. These variants are not marked as calls or writes. P.length = n lowers to Expr::PropertySet or Expr::PutValueSet, which is also not marked as a write. Add these cases, plus Expr::NativeMethodCall and other call-like variants, so later reads cannot reuse an invalid descriptor proof.

947, Extend scan_expr to classify every call-like and mutating HIR expression,
including NativeMethodCall, ArrayPush, ArrayPushSpread, the dedicated
array-method variant, PropertySet, and PutValueSet. Mark call-like variants as
uses.call and mutation variants as uses.write, while recursively scanning their
child expressions so nested parameter accesses remain tracked.

Independently validated. Merging.

Reproduced the headline and confirmed the win is not lopsided — that was the bar this had to clear, since the earlier attempt on #8485 bought −24.6% instructions almost entirely on the typed path and was correctly reverted. Here the untyped/typed ratio improves (1.0438 → 1.0017), so the untyped path genuinely caught up.

Audited as a soundness change, not a perf change. A wrong numeric proof means an fadd on a NaN-box propagating the payload (#7773's class), so the dataflow was the review, not the benchmark:

  • a read of a candidate not dominated by a Number-establishing write invalidates it;
  • any non-undefined, non-Number write poisons the candidate even when overwritten before a read — correct, because other consumers of this fact use it to omit pointer rooting and undefined is non-pointer while a string or object is not;
  • closure-captured mutables are excluded via boxed_vars, and closure bodies are deliberately not walked;
  • If intersects the two branch states; While intersects entry with the back-edge state and re-checks the condition under the back-edge state, which is the case that would otherwise let a body write escape notice;
  • a LocalSet in non-root (conditional/short-circuit) position is declined rather than guessed at;
  • declared number parameters stay untrusted in a generic body — only the specialized entry's raw numeric params seed the flow state. Right call: a declared type is not a proof.

PERRY_NUMBER_BY_CONSTRUCTION is registered in build_cache.rs, so flipping it invalidates the object cache rather than silently serving objects built under the other setting.

Validation on this branch:

gap suite 575 run, 0 real regressions

On the gap suite's six reported regressionsbackoff_options, cron_cronjob, dayjs_factory_arg, moment_methods, ratelimiter_memory, slugify_options — all six are phantom. They fail identically on a clean main build, and the diff shows the failure is on the Node side: ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND for dayjs, slugify, cron, moment, exponential-backoff, ratelimiter, which were not installed in the worktree. Installing those six packages makes all six pass on both arms.

Worth noting separately: a Node oracle that cannot resolve a module exits non-zero with output, so the harness classifies it parity_fail (a red gate) rather than node_fail (a skip). A missing npm package is therefore indistinguishable from a compiler regression at the gate. That is the same unreachable-node_fail shape already known from the gap gate's snapshot diffing.
