Summary

Canonicalize construction-time constant folds before RewriteStatepointsForGC so textual parsing and native C-API construction assign the same live roots, machine code, and compact GC map.

This is the narrow follow-up found by the local #7971 audit. #7971 remains open until this PR lands and the complete matrix is rerun on latest main.

Changes

  • Run function SCCP after mem2reg and before RS4GC in the shared in-process pass pipeline.
  • Keep the pass deliberately narrower than InstCombine, which erased the positive dynamic-pointer root witness.
  • Add a shared text/folded construction-order regression that asserts gc-live and gc.relocate before exact emitted-byte equality.
  • Strengthen the direct and split native-emission regressions with constant-folding pressure plus dynamic roots that must survive RS4GC before both object oracles compare bytes.

This is distinct from #8052/#8062: that fix applied precise-root lowering to the native path; this fix converges construction-time constant folding before the already-shared RS4GC pass assigns liveness.

Test plan

Exact tested product base: fe4cd09db0f1e260fc0ff63ec2e5c0079fceac3d (the later #8066 commit is CI-only and non-overlapping). PR branch base: 08173f8b403be848f2218746b22a462fd883042f.

  • Focused shared regression: 1 passed, exit 0.

  • Focused direct + split emitted-object regressions: 2 passed, exit 0.

  • cargo build --profile perry-dev -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static --features perry/llvm-inprocess: exit 0 with LLVM 22.1.4.

  • Spike diff: byte-identical text/native objects, 164671 bytes; compile and verdict assertion exit 0.

  • Spike text/native: all compile/execute statuses 0; banner assertion 0; behavior cmp 0 (92 bytes, SHA-256 ccfecd9c51f0cd29a7fa349f3047d527e96b2b60f2078a269f91d0e9b6a4bf9c).

  • Batch diff with PERRY_CODEGEN_UNITS=3: byte-identical merged objects, 58160 bytes; command and 3-unit assertion exit 0.

  • EH text/native/diff: all compile/execute statuses 0; native banner assertion 0; behavior cmp 0 (116 bytes, SHA-256 1e5f575323cceebe5e2e822084f346097845a7050e885ed83de45b25e8d7a6b6); diff verdict 266985 bytes, exit/assertion 0.

  • PERRY_RUNTIME_DIR pinned to the isolated perry-dev target with PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1; runtime and stdlib archives remained unchanged at mtimes 1786670014 and 1786670221.

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: exit 0.

  • git diff --check: exit 0.

  • cargo build --release clean

  • cargo test --workspace --exclude perry-ui-ios --exclude perry-ui-tvos --exclude perry-ui-watchos --exclude perry-ui-gtk4 --exclude perry-ui-android --exclude perry-ui-windows passes

  • (if user-facing) Added or updated a test under test-files/ or a #[test] in the affected crate

  • (if CLI / stdlib / runtime API changed) Updated docs/src/

  • (if touching a platform UI backend) Built -p perry-ui-<backend> locally on that platform

Checklist

  • I have NOT bumped the workspace version or edited CLAUDE.md / CHANGELOG.md
  • My commits follow the loose feat: / fix: / docs: / chore: prefix convention used in the log
  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md and agree to the Code of Conduct

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved garbage-collection statepoint processing so constant-folded code produces consistent textual and native output.
    • Preserved dynamic roots and their relocations across safepoints.
    • Fixed inconsistencies between folded and unfurled compilation results.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for constant and dynamic roots across direct and split native compilation paths.
    • Added validation that equivalent compilation paths produce matching output and retain required garbage-collection metadata.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The RS4GC pipeline now runs sccp after mem2reg. Regression fixtures compare folded and dynamically reconstructed roots, verify root liveness and relocations, and compare text and native output.

Changes

RS4GC root consistency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pre-RS4GC canonicalization and regression fixture
crates/perry-codegen/src/inprocess.rs, changelog.d/8068-rs4gc-constant-fold-order.md
The rewrite pipeline runs sccp before RS4GC. Test helpers can run current and previous pipelines. Regression tests verify constant folding, dynamic-root liveness, relocations, and matching assembly.
Native precise-root validation
crates/perry-codegen/src/native_emit.rs
Native tests create constant and dynamic roots across a safepoint and verify gc-live and gc.relocate for direct and split compilation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to eb600

The change canonicalizes constant folding before GC lowering, with focused regressions and build checks passing; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.
