📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now publishes proven-this clone capabilities across ESM imports and re-exports. Imported methods can use guarded direct calls with generic fallbacks. Runtime prototype mutations invalidate relevant dispatch state. Tests cover specialization, fallback behavior, field initialization, mutation, proxies, and moving GC.

Changes

Imported method specialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Producer capability discovery
crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/lib.rs
Producer analysis exports eligible proven-this methods and profitable tower routes. Nested calls count only when their targets have eligible clones.
Imported capability propagation
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/opts.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/run_pipeline.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/object_cache*
Imported class metadata carries producer-approved method and tower capabilities through import paths. Cache keys include both collections.
Clone emission and guarded calls
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/method_override.rs
Pshape clones retain external linkage and receive inline policy. Imported clone declarations and guarded direct-call lowering retain generic dispatch fallbacks.
Capturing-this field initialization
crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/field_init*
Eligible public fields use predeclared named stores. Replaceable receivers and fields without stable indexes retain full field-definition lowering.
Prototype mutation and dispatch invalidation
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy.rs
Prototype assignment, deletion, restoration, and proxy writes update registry state and invalidate guards and typed feedback before dispatch.
Fixtures and end-to-end validation
crates/perry/tests/issue_8693_imported_this_specialization.rs, test-files/fixtures/issue_8693_imported_this/*, benchmarks/compiler_output/workloads.toml, changelog.d/8693-imported-this-specialization.md
Tests and fixtures validate imported clones, generic fallbacks, prototype mutations, capturing-this methods, moving GC, and benchmark registration.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ecc8e

The change can generate invalid direct calls for colliding imported names and can make existing prototype methods enumerable when replaced, causing compilation or observable runtime behavior changes. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Guard imported pshape-capability publishing against effective_name collisions.

This loop inserts into pshape_methods/pshape_tower_routable for every imported entry that has the method in its own proven_this_method_names, keyed only by (effective_name, method). It does not check whether imported is the entry that actually won the method_names[(effective_name, method)] symbol.

method_names (built later in method_registry.rs) resolves an effective_name collision with first-writer-wins over opts.imported_classes. The pshape-clone extern is declared only for the specific ImportedClass whose own proven_this_method_names contains the method. If two imported classes share effective_name (for example, two default imports in the same file — a scenario this file already documents as a real recurring collision, see "Refs #665") and only the losing class has the method proven-this, pshape_methods records eligibility for a clone symbol that was never declared for the winning method_names entry. prune_unregistered_clones only checks (class, method) presence in method_names, not identity of the specific clone, so it does not catch this. The result is a call to an undeclared symbol.

Gate this loop on imported_class_prefix, the first-writer-wins map already built earlier in this function, so only the class that actually won the effective_name slot can publish pshape capability for it.

🛡️ Proposed fix: only the winning imported class for `effective_name` may publish capability

         let effective_name = imported

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not force [[Enumerable]] = true when the prototype property already exists. Both write tails call class_prototype_method_set_enumerable(class_id, &name, true) unconditionally before class_prototype_method_root_store. Per OrdinarySetWithOwnDescriptor, an assignment to an existing own data property changes [[Value]] only and preserves the existing attributes. A declared class method is enumerable: false, so C.prototype.existingMethod = fn now makes the key enumerable, and Object.keys(C.prototype) and for...in start reporting it. class_prototype_method_root_store reads the flag back through class_prototype_method_is_enumerable and mirrors it onto both the synthetic and the decl prototype objects, so the wrong attribute becomes observable through reflection.

  • crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_set_by_name.rs#L428-L434: set the enumerable flag only when the name is not already an own prototype method. has_own_data is already computed on this branch, so gate the call on !has_own_data.
  • crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy.rs#L1176-L1188: apply the same gate. Query class_prototype_method_is_enumerable or the own-method lookup for class_id and name first, and mark the property enumerable only when it is newly created.

…his-methods and proven Symbols (#8737)

Lands #8735, #8729 and #8731.

#8735 fixes a real data race in the dense-array subclass layout cache.
`cached_dense_layout` read two payload fields `Relaxed` and then rechecked
the sequence counter with an `Acquire` LOAD -- but an acquire load only
constrains what follows it, so on weakly ordered hardware the preceding
payload reads could sink past the recheck. A reader racing a colliding
publisher could then combine one field from the old layout with one from
the new and return a WRONG ELEMENT rather than faulting. A standalone
`fence(Acquire)` now sits between the payload reads and the recheck, which
is the canonical seqlock-reader form.

#8729 lowers strict equality against a proven Symbol to raw NaN-boxed
identity, keeping loose equality, reassigned locals and erased TypeScript
annotation claims on the semantic runtime helpers.

#8731 (fixes #8693) publishes producer-authoritative proven-`this` method
capabilities through imports, aliases and re-exports, emitting guarded
direct imported clone calls while retaining generic dispatch fallbacks.

A changelog fragment was added for #8735, which had neither one nor a
skip-changelog label.

No version bump.

Landed on main via #8737 (squash c203c772c), with #8735.

Validated on the merged result: all 30 lint checkers, runtime 2669/0 at RUST_TEST_THREADS=1, codegen 1222/0 (+8), all codegen integration suites clean. Thanks!

Lands #8740.

Versions eligible instance methods with one private exact-`undefined`
body when an immutable optional parameter guards work inside a loop,
retaining the public boxed ABI and branching on the live argument's exact
TAG_UNDEFINED bits. All other values run the unchanged generic body.

The TypeScript optional annotation only nominates a candidate and is
never consumed as a runtime proof: the private clone receives
`Type::Void` only behind the public wrapper's live bit-compare, which is
emitted as `icmp_eq(I64, &arg_bits, TAG_UNDEFINED_I64)` and pinned by a
test. Candidate discovery rejects async/generator methods, rest and
`arguments` parameters, every user-authored parameter write, and closure
capture.

The linkage interaction with #8731 is resolved. #8731 narrowed the
module-local condition from `is_pshape_clone` to `ptr_array_cache_clone`
because plain `$pshape` clones became producer-published capabilities
needing external linkage. Undefined-filter candidacy now excludes index
and array-cache clones rather than forcing itself module-local, three
`debug_assert!` invariants pin that a guarded-undefined clone is never
also one of those, and a new test asserts the pshape family's guard
wrapper stays a published capability carrying both `$undef0` and
`$generic`.

One fix on top: `pshape_symbol_reachability` scans the source tree for
`$pshape` fragments outside a 7-entry allowlist, so that the clone symbol
can never reach a runtime vtable. The PR's new
`guarded_undefined_method_tests.rs` names the fragment in its wrapper
assertions, exactly as the two test files already on that list do. It is
allowlisted with a rationale; the gate's emission-site coverage is
unchanged.

No version bump.
