Summary

instanceof against a ClassExprFresh parent resolved the parent by the
SHARED template class_id, so an instance built from an EARLIER evaluation of
a heritage-carrying class expression could fail instanceof against its own
true parent once a LATER evaluation of the same factory had run and
overwritten the shared, last-write-wins registry entry. Construction was
already correct (a prior fix, #9364/#6438, gives each evaluation its own
pinned heritage for super()/capture resolution) — only instanceof's
class-chain walk still read the shared table.

Root cause

  • Expr::ClassExprFresh (crates/perry-hir/src/lower/lower_expr/arm_class.rs)
    gives a heritage-carrying class expression (captures, statics, private
    elements, or a self-binding) a genuinely fresh heap "class object" per
    evaluation — but every evaluation is stamped with the same compile-time
    TEMPLATE class_id.
  • RegisterClassParentDynamicjs_register_class_parent_dynamic
    (crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/parent_static.rs)
    registers the dynamic parent keyed by that shared class_id, in two
    global, last-write-wins tables: CLASS_REGISTRY (read by
    instanceof's class_chain_reaches) and CLASS_DYNAMIC_PARENT_VALUE
    (read by super() via js_get_dynamic_parent_value).
  • effect: HttpApi server dies at startup with "TypeError: undefined is not iterable" (logger/fork already work) #6438/SIGSEGV: factory returning class D extends <param>, chained two levels, then instantiated (zod v4 $constructor shape) #9364 already fixed construction: each fresh class object pins
    its OWN evaluation's parent as an own field
    (js_class_object_pin_parent/class_object_pinned_parent), consulted by
    super() (ACTIVE_CLASS_EVALUATIONS, evaluation_heritage.rs) and by
    capture resolution (pinned_class_object_for_ancestor in
    class_constructors.rs).
  • instanceof's class_chain_reaches
    (crates/perry-runtime/src/object/instanceof.rs) never consulted that
    pin — it walks purely by class_id via the shared CLASS_REGISTRY. An
    instance's ObjectHeader.class_id is the shared template id for every
    evaluation, so there was nothing on the instance itself pointing back to
    which evaluation built it, and no way to reach the correct per-evaluation
    parent.

Confirmed empirically with a same-module loop that evaluates a
heritage-carrying factory (captures a local, so it already takes the
ClassExprFresh path on main — no dependency on any in-flight PR): the
failure reproduces on plain main at 0058babd8 (see Validation).

The fix (runtime-only, no codegen changes)

  1. Pin the constructing class object onto each new instance, too
    (class_registry/evaluation_heritage.rs: INSTANCE_CONSTRUCTING_CLASS_KEY,
    pin_instance_constructing_class, instance_pinned_constructing_class).
    Called from replay_class_object_constructor
    (class_constructors.rs) — the runtime path for new <dynamicClassValue>(),
    the only construction route that can produce this ambiguity. A no-op when
    the constructing value isn't a per-evaluation class object, or has no
    heritage of its own. This is an ordinary object field (via
    js_object_set_field_by_name), so it's GC-scanned like any other
    property — no new raw-pointer side table, nothing to register as a root.
    Hidden from Object.keys/for…in/etc. via the existing allowlist in
    field_get_set/enumeration.rs.
  2. A value-aware chain walk in instanceof.rs
    (class_chain_reaches_dynamic, called through
    subclass_of_builtin_reaches/class_chain_reaches_dynamic_armed): at
    each hop, prefer a pinned VALUE — the receiver's own pin from (1), or
    class_object_pinned_parent on a per-evaluation node reached along the
    way — falling back to template_dynamic_parent_value (the same
    CLASS_DYNAMIC_PARENT_VALUE stash super() uses, safe wherever a
    class_id's own edge was only ever registered once) and finally to
    class_chain_reaches's plain answer once no further per-evaluation
    precision is available. This also fixes the case where a statically
    declared
    class extends one specific evaluation of a repeatedly-evaluated
    factory (class Sub extends someEvaluation {}) — Sub's own edge is
    unambiguous (registered once), so its stashed VALUE carries the walk
    straight to that specific evaluation's own pin for the next hop.
  3. CLASS_OBJECT_HERITAGE_PIN_LATCH (RegistryLatch, monotone,
    registry_latch.rs's established pattern): armed by
    js_class_object_pin_parent before its own write. The overwhelming
    majority of programs never evaluate a heritage-carrying class expression
    more than once, so instanceof's hot path (subclass_of_builtin_reaches)
    checks this latch first and takes the pre-existing class_chain_reaches
    path unchanged when idle — the new machinery is reached only once
    something has actually been pinned.
  4. subclass_of_builtin_reaches is subclass-of-built-in block that used to
    live inline in js_instanceof, split into its own function (pure
    relocation of pre-existing logic) — needed to keep js_instanceof's own
    size, and thus how well its many unrelated, far more common paths
    optimize, independent of this fix's logic. Measured: without the split,
    the latch-idle path picked up a genuine +7.3% instruction-count
    regression from js_instanceof simply growing (see Perf below); with
    it, instructions are back within noise.

Also factored the existing INT32-ClassRef/POINTER "what class_id does this
value denote" logic out of js_register_class_parent_dynamic into
dynamic_value_class_id (pure extraction, byte-identical behavior) so the
new walk can reuse it.

Dependency check (per #10614's lesson)

This fix does not depend on PR #10622's new fresh_export_dynamic_heritage_factories
pass. ClassExprFresh and replay_class_object_constructor already exist
on main; #10622 only adds one more way to reach ClassExprFresh (an
otherwise-bare class extends Base {} factory exported across a module
boundary). Every runtime symbol this PR touches is exercised today by
main's existing captures/statics/private-element ClassExprFresh paths —
confirmed by reproducing and fixing the bug with a same-module,
capture-forcing factory with no dependency on #10622 at all. Not stacked.

Tests

test-files/test_gap_10624_instanceof_classexprfresh_shared_id.ts: a
same-module factory evaluated twice via a loop (so both evaluations share
Perry's internal template class_id); construction order interleaved
(instance from the EARLIER evaluation built after the LATER evaluation
ran); instanceof checked in both directions against both bases,
re-checked after more evaluations; a third, immediately-constructed
evaluation as a "latest evaluation always worked" control; and a two-level
case (a second dynamic factory evaluated against one specific evaluation of
the first, checked after yet another evaluation of the first factory has
run). Deliberately does not assert instanceof against a specific
sibling evaluation referenced directly as the RHS (x instanceof A where
A and a sibling B share a class_id) — that hits a separate,
pre-existing limitation, see "Known limitation" below.

Fails on baseline (pristine main @ 0058babd8, verified via git stash +
rebuild): 3 mismatches — earlyInstance instanceof RootAlt (should be
false, was true), the repeated check, and the two-level case's
instanceof RootAlt. Byte-identical to node --experimental-strip-types
(26.5.1) on the fixed binary.

PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter test_gap_10624 → PASS
(100%).

Perf (perf stat -e instructions,task-clock, 3 runs each, shared/contended host — instructions are the robust metric here)

Rust-level isolated hot loop (30M iterations × 4 instanceof calls against
a 3-level plain STATIC class hierarchy — latch stays idle the whole run,
the common case):

Variant instructions (avg) Δ vs baseline
baseline (main @ 0058babd8) 46,960,000,000
this PR, js_instanceof unmodified in shape (subclass check inlined) 50,370,600,000 +7.3% (genuine, not noise — motivated the function split)
this PR, final (subclass_of_builtin_reaches split out) 47,529,819,733 +1.2%

Full compiled-program benchmark (perry-compiled .ts, PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1),
final code:

Benchmark baseline instr this PR instr Δ
static 3-level hierarchy, 30M instanceof checks (latch idle) 10,764,000,000 10,548,528,000 −2.0% (no regression)
extend()-factory hierarchy, latch armed, 20M checks 9,655,178,895 9,488,105,989 −1.7% (no regression)

The isolated Rust probe is a deliberately adversarial worst case (nothing
but instanceof calls in a tight loop); the full compiled-program numbers
— closer to real usage, and where the latch-armed path is also exercised —
show no regression at all beyond ordinary build-to-build variance. Node
wall time not included; this table isolates the mechanism itself as
instructed, and both .ts benchmarks report identical console output
across baseline/fixed (correctness of the surrounding harness).

Known limitation — deliberately NOT fixed here

instanceof against a specific per-evaluation class object referenced
directly as the RHS (x instanceof A, where A is itself one evaluation of
a repeatedly-evaluated factory) still cannot distinguish A from a sibling
evaluation B of the same template once the receiver has no prototype
divergence of its own recorded (js_instanceof_dynamic's is_class_object_value(type_ref)
branch collapses to a plain class_id comparison via js_object_get_class_id,
identical for A and B). This is orthogonal to the mechanism this PR
fixes (the RHS-value-identity path, not the class-chain-walk path) and
pre-exists on main unchanged by this diff. Repro: evaluate a factory
twice into A/B (sharing a class_id), build Sub extends A {}, then
new Sub() instanceof B should be false per Node but is true in Perry
on both baseline and this PR.

Also newly noticed, unrelated, left out of this PR: a two-level
ClassExprFresh chain (G = factory2(A) where A = factory1(...)) calling
an INHERITED method from the outer factory's class body that itself closes
over a captured local (e.g. getTag() returning a captured tag) returns
undefined instead of the captured value when called on a G-instance —
capture-environment forwarding for an inherited method across two levels
of dynamic heritage appears incomplete. Repro:

function extend(Base, tag) { return class extends Base { getTag() { return tag; } }; }
function extendAgain(Base, mark) { return class extends Base { extra() { return mark; } }; }
const A = extend(Object, "hi");
const G = extendAgain(A, "x");
new G().getTag(); // Node: "hi"; Perry: undefined

What I did not verify

  • Did not run the full local gap suite (only targeted filters per the
    package-audit workflow's default — this PR doesn't touch a hot
    lowering/codegen/inliner path, only a runtime-side instanceof/
    construction helper).
  • Did not measure perry-codegen/perry crate tests (no codegen or IR
    changes in this diff; no runtime symbol renamed, only new symbols added).

Fixes #10624

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime pins each evaluated class object on constructed instances. When the heritage latch is active, instanceof uses the pinned heritage for dynamic ancestry checks. The change also relocates dispatchers without changing their exported symbols.

Changes

ClassExprFresh instanceof resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Heritage pinning and value resolution
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/evaluation_heritage.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/parent_static.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/evaluation_heritage/tests.rs
The runtime adds a heritage latch, instance pin storage, dynamic class-id resolution, and parent registration updates. Tests verify independent pins for sibling class objects.
Instance construction pin integration
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_constructors.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/enumeration.rs
Class construction pins the evaluated class object on each instance. The helpers are re-exported, and the internal property is excluded from enumeration.
Dynamic instanceof ancestry walk and dispatcher split
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/instanceof.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/instanceof/dynamic_dispatch.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/instanceof/static_dispatch.rs, test-files/test_gap_10624_instanceof_classexprfresh_shared_id.ts, changelog.d/10640-instanceof-classexprfresh_shared-id.md, scripts/addr_class_allowlist.txt, scripts/addr_class_ratchet_baseline.txt
instanceof follows pinned parent values when the latch is active and retains existing fallback paths. The dynamic and static dispatchers move to submodules with their existing symbols preserved. The regression test covers interleaved evaluations and transitive subclasses.

Root the instance and class value before creating the key.

js_string_from_bytes allocates through string_storage_alloc, which can trigger a moving collection. The collection rewrites the caller's handles, but the helper's raw inst pointer and copied classobj_value remain stale. The setter roots and refreshes its own arguments only after it receives them.

Root the key as a StringHeader pointer. Do not pass it through root_nanbox_f64.

Distinguish an authoritative dynamic false from “not applicable.”

When the heritage latch is armed and the instance has pinned per-evaluation heritage, a false from class_chain_reaches_dynamic_armed is authoritative. For the earlyInstance case, js_instanceof can then fall through to class_chain_reaches(obj_class_id, class_id) at line 1873. That walk uses the shared registry, so a later RootAlt evaluation can make earlyInstance instanceof RootAlt return true.

The helper also returns false when no pinned or dynamic heritage is available. Preserve the shared-registry fallback only for that not-applicable case. Otherwise, use the dynamic result for the final user-class check, or return an outcome that distinguishes “authoritative false” from “not applicable.” The fixture logs both earlyInstance instanceof RootAlt checks, so an incorrect true is visible in its output.

…evaluation

instanceof's class-chain walk resolved a dynamic parent purely by the
shared TEMPLATE class_id, so evaluating a heritage-carrying class
expression more than once shadowed an EARLIER evaluation's parent once
a LATER evaluation of the same factory ran. Each per-evaluation class
object already pins its own heritage (js_class_object_pin_parent,
consulted by super() and capture resolution since #9364); instanceof
never consulted it.

Pin the constructing class object onto each new instance too, and give
instanceof a value-aware chain walk that prefers a pinned VALUE at each
hop (falling back to the plain class_id registry once no further
per-evaluation precision is available). Gated behind a monotone latch
armed only when a class object is ever pinned, so the common
never-evaluated-twice case pays a single idle-load check.
Post-rebase onto current main, instanceof.rs (with #10624's own
subclass_of_builtin_reaches / class_chain_reaches_dynamic additions) sits at
2028 lines, over the 2000-line cap check_file_size.sh enforces. Move the two
`#[no_mangle]` dispatch entry points -- js_instanceof_dynamic and
js_instanceof -- verbatim into instanceof/dynamic_dispatch.rs and
instanceof/static_dispatch.rs, following the class_registry.rs `<mod>.rs` +
`<mod>/` split pattern already used in this crate. Each new file pulls in
every helper it needs via `use super::*;`, same as every other submodule
under object/. Pure relocation: no behaviour change, no reordering of logic.

instanceof.rs: 907 lines. instanceof/dynamic_dispatch.rs: 406 lines.
instanceof/static_dispatch.rs: 738 lines.
A pure file-relocation moves grandfathered addr_class findings to a new
path, and both of this audit's mechanisms are path-keyed:

- scripts/addr_class_ratchet_baseline.txt's handle-floor count for
  instanceof.rs (6) redistributes to instanceof.rs (2, still there) and
  the new instanceof/static_dispatch.rs (4, moved with js_instanceof) --
  regenerated via --write-baseline and diffed to confirm no other file's
  baseline changed.
- scripts/addr_class_allowlist.txt gets a new instanceof/static_dispatch.rs
  entry for the one GcHeader cast that moved there, following the same
  precedent already recorded for array/indexing_keyed.rs and
  array/indexing_proto_chain.rs's own 2,000-line-cap splits.

Also cargo fmt: a double blank line left behind by the extraction.

instanceof against a ClassExprFresh parent resolves by shared class id, so an earlier evaluation's class can fail instanceof after a later evaluation
