… parent
A subclass with no explicit constructor, extending a capture-bearing
class expression held in a local (const Base = class {...}; const Sub
= class extends Base {...};), never forwarded Base's captured
enclosing-scope locals to the synthesized subclass constructor: the
lowering deliberately drops the static extends_name for such a
lexically-local heritage identifier (avoiding a same-named-class
collision, #5437), and capture propagation was keyed off that same
name. Resolve the heritage identifier through resolve_class_alias
instead - the same table Expr::New's own capture lookup already uses
for let X = class {...}; new X() - for capture forwarding only,
gated to subclasses with no own constructor (an explicit constructor
already forwards captures correctly via a separate mechanism).

Summarize the shipped behavior.
This fragment includes lowering-table details and multiple development-scope caveats. Reduce it to one release-facing statement of the fixed behavior. This prevents assembled release notes from describing development slices instead of the shipped result.

Summary
A subclass with no explicit constructor, extending a capture-bearing class
EXPRESSION held in a local (
const Base = class { m() { return cap; } }; const Sub = class extends Base { n() {...} };), never forwardedBase'scaptured enclosing-scope locals to the synthesized subclass constructor —
every method
Subinherits fromBasereadundefinedfor those captures.This is the shape esbuild/tsc-bundled code produces (every class becomes
var X = class _X {...}inside a module-wrapper closure) and is what broketypescript5.8.2's CJStranspileModuleoutput(
IdentifierNameMultiMap extends IdentifierNameMap, both class expressionsinside
typescript.js's module wrapper).This PR fixes the issue's primary repro and the
typescriptCJS impact,but does not fix every "Fails" variant the issue lists — see "What remains
broken" below. Marking
Part of #10486, notFixes.Root cause
lower_class_decl/lower_class_from_ast(
crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/class_decl.rs) deliberately leaveextends_name: Option<String>atNonewhen the heritage identifierresolves to a lexically-scoped local rather than a statically-registered
class declaration (
locally_shadowed, the #5437 PQueue fix — a retainedraw name there gets re-resolved by the static parent-chain walks to an
UNRELATED same-named class in a large bundle).
synthesize_class_captures(
lower_decl/class_captures.rs) unions a parent's registered captures intothe child's synthesized-constructor params keyed off that SAME
extends_name. When it'sNone, the union never runs, so the subclass'sconstructor never receives the base's captured locals as extra args and
every inherited method that reads a base capture reads
undefined.Fix
crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/class_decl.rs: derive a SEPARATEcapture_parent_name, used only for capture forwarding (not for thebroader class-registry resolution
extends_nameotherwise drives), byresolving the heritage identifier through
ctx.resolve_class_alias— theSAME table
Expr::New's own capture lookup already uses forlet X = class {...}; new X()(expr_new.rs), populated when theconst X = class {...}/let X = Yalias is lowered (register_let_class_alias). Thisavoids the same same-named-local collision #5437 fixed (verified: a naive
raw-text match, and even
resolve_class_name— which only disambiguatessame-named class DECLARATIONS, not LET-bound aliases — both mis-resolved
two unrelated same-named
const Base = class {...}locals declared insibling functions to each other's captures;
resolve_class_aliasdoesnot). Threaded into
synthesize_class_captures's existingextends_name-keyed union and inherited-field-dedup logic in place of thecall sites'
extends_name.as_deref().Gated to only fire when the subclass has no own constructor
(
has_own_constructor, a class-body scan added at the same call site): asubclass with an explicit
constructor() { super(); }already forwards theparent's captures correctly through a separate, pre-existing mechanism, and
unconditionally widening the union regressed it (the parent capture then
also landed in the child's own
captures_vec, and the decl-sitecapture-stash machinery expects to own inherited-cap-to-
super()forwarding only for the synthesized-default-constructor shape). Verified
against a build without the guard:
explicitSuperCtor(issue's own "Works"case) broke; with the guard, it's unaffected.
What remains broken (left deliberately, see below)
The fix above corrects
cap_args_appended(the synthesized constructor nowreceives the right number of forwarded capture args) and the issue's own
literal minimal repro passes end-to-end, byte-identical to Node. But most
of the issue's OTHER listed "Fails" variants — a subclass with NO members
of its own beyond the synthesized capture forwarding (
const Sub = class extends Base {};), a base class DECLARATION as the extends target(
class Base {...}; const Sub = class extends Base {};), two captured baselocals, a base class with an explicit constructor — still print
undefinedafter this fix, traced (via
--print-hirand--trace llvm) to a SEPARATEbug in
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/mod.rs's packed inline-slotlayout builder (~line 1210, the
parent_chainwalk that computespacked_keys/total_field_count): it walksc.extends_name(the HIRClassstruct's own field, NOT my newcapture_parent_name, which islocal to
synthesize_class_capturesand never written back to the struct)to find a subclass's inherited fields. For a
locally_shadowedparent,c.extends_nameisNone(same asextends: Option<ClassId>— both arecorrect to leave unset for the general dynamic-parent case), so codegen has
no static knowledge that such a subclass needs ANY space reserved for the
parent's
__perry_cap_*field(s) at all: a subclass whose OWN capture setcame entirely from the union (no captures of its own) gets a static layout
with zero reserved slots, and the parent method's compiled body (which
reads its capture field at a FIXED index baked in when the PARENT was
compiled) reads uninitialized/foreign memory on such an instance.
The issue's "minimal" repro happens to avoid this:
Subthere alsocaptures its own local (
subCap), sosynthesize_class_capturesdeclaresit an own field — and because
union_capturesis aBTreeSet<LocalId>sorted by numeric id, and
baseCap's id happens to sort beforesubCap's,Sub's (non-deduplicated — dedup ALSO depends onextends_name/parentfield-name lookup timing, separately incomplete) own-field order happens to
place
baseCapat the same indexBaseuses for it. That alignment iscoincidental, not a fix, and does not hold for a subclass with no own
captures. Making codegen's static layout walk aware of a
locally_shadowed-but-statically-known parent (the same alias-resolutionthis PR adds for captures) is a larger, separate change touching
perry-codegenrather thanperry-hir, and risks the samesame-named-local collision class #5437 fixed for OTHER static-layout
consumers (vtable /
instanceof/ inherited-method dispatch) if donenaively — out of scope for a surgical fix within this PR's budget.
Tests added
test-files/test_gap_10486_class_expr_subclass_captures.ts: SCOPED TOWHAT THIS FIX ACTUALLY RESOLVES — the issue's own minimal repro (base +
subclass class expressions, subclass has its own capturing method), plus
the explicit-constructor control (must keep working) and a captured-helper
variant matching the same "subclass has its own member" shape. Does
not include the broken empty-subclass-body variants (would fail the
gap harness) — those are documented above and left for a follow-up.
Validated byte-for-byte against
node --experimental-strip-types(Node26.5.1).

own captures (the HIR-level fix IS correct even for that shape — it's
codegen's layout that isn't, which these HIR-only tests don't exercise).

minimal base-capture undefined sub-capture(the base capturelost — the other three test functions in the file also throw on the
baseline, since each hits the same bug from a slightly different
construction, uncaught, halting the script — the diff is against Node's
full 4-line expected output either way).
