Summary

  • retain the four generated static write-PIC ways and add four non-evicting ways in one outlined helper
  • stop the fourth inline entry from thrashing once a site observes more than four stable receiver shapes
  • add reproducible eight-shape benchmark coverage plus frozen-tail and ninth-shape semantic parity cases

Part of #6812.

Measurements

On the new 60M-write shape_eight cell (15 alternating Node/Perry runs, identical checksums):

Node median Perry median
four-way baseline 234 ms 2,359 ms
four inline + four outlined 226 ms 768 ms

That is a 67.4% reduction / 3.07x speedup for Perry. shape_monomorphic stayed at 119 ms; shape_four moved from 400 to 408 ms. Both linked matrix executables are 5,849,320 bytes.

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check
  • cargo check -p perry-runtime
  • cargo clippy -p perry-codegen -p perry-runtime --lib --no-deps
  • cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib (2,281 passed, 4 ignored)
  • static-write native proof tests pass
  • release build of compiler/runtime/stdlib static archives
  • focused release corpus matches Node exactly, including outlined frozen and ninth-shape cases

The full native proof executable reports 262/263 passing; the remaining unrelated integer-modulo case reproduces alone as an existing debug-overflow panic in collectors/loop_bounded_i32.rs:1091.

No version bump is included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved property-write performance across up to eight distinct object shapes.
    • Added bounded handling for additional shapes while preserving standard write behavior.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Ensured writes to frozen objects continue to raise the expected errors.
    • Preserved correct field values and checksums across polymorphic write scenarios.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for eight- and nine-shape write loops, including fallback behavior.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the updated performance characteristics and bounded shape handling.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The static PutValue write cache now supports four inline and four outlined receiver-shape entries. Additional shapes use bounded semantic fallback. Benchmarks, documentation, native assertions, and regression tests cover the new behavior.

Changes

Static write PIC expansion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Codegen and runtime tail cache
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/proxy_reflect.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/objects.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy/put_value.rs
Codegen dispatches beyond four inline entries to js_put_value_set_ic_poly_tail. The runtime helper caches four additional shapes and falls back without eviction when full.
Eight-shape cache validation
crates/perry-codegen/tests/native_proof_regressions.rs, test-files/test_gap_6812_object_write_loop_generalization.ts
Assertions and tests cover the outlined tail, frozen receivers, successful writes, and ninth-shape fallback behavior.
Benchmark and matrix coverage
benchmarks/object-write-6812/*, docs/object-write-matrix.md, changelog.d/8026-static-write-poly-tail.md
The benchmark matrix adds shape_eight, records performance and checksum results, and documents the bounded cache behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to aa57c

The change improves writes across more than four receiver shapes while preserving the existing semantic cases. It is mergeable with explicit follow-up to strengthen the initializer regression check and reconcile benchmark counts and performance documentation; the remaining risk is bounded to validation and reporting accuracy.

Audited commit aa57c00 against current main. The static write PIC remains bounded: four generated ways plus four non-evicting outlined ways, with shape 9+ taking full PutValue semantics. The helper revalidates the live receiver type, forwarding and mutable blocking flags, current shape token, and slot bounds before using the canonical barrier/layout-aware field store; frozen/descriptor/shape-change cases miss safely. The tail cache is a distinct zero-initialized eight-word global and its ABI matches the runtime declaration. Independent verification: focused static PutValue proof tests 2/2 passed, related string-key selection tests 7/7 passed, cargo check -p perry-runtime, cargo fmt, diff check, and current-main merge-tree check passed. No blocking findings.

Update the matrix-size statement.

Adding shape_eight makes CASES contain 26 entries. benchmarks/object-write-6812/results.md still says “final 25-cell matrix” and “All 25 write-count/checksum pairs matched” at Lines 69-70. Change both counts to 26, or state explicitly that the follow-up case is excluded from that sweep.

Assert the complete outlined-cache initializer.

Line 13716 only checks that a global with this name exists. The assertion also passes if the cache has a non-zero initializer or the wrong element layout. Match the [8 x i64] zeroinitializer declaration so this test verifies the zero-initialized runtime contract.

Proposed test update
-        ir.contains("`@perry_ic_0_poly_tail` = private global"),
+        ir.contains("`@perry_ic_0_poly_tail` = private global [8 x i64] zeroinitializer"),

Add an oracle for the seven writes before the frozen tail.

The file already uses strict mode. The tail-frozen output checks only the exception and frozen value. Include fieldSum(mixedEight.slice(0, 7), ["x"]) to check the preceding writes.
