step 4b slice 2 (#10884): a run of reads across STATEMENTS, guarded ONCE

[proggeramlug]

Step 4b, slice 2 of #10884. Stacked on #10936 (slice 1) — review that first; this branch's base moves as that one lands.

What this adds

Slice 1 guarded runs of reads that already sat inside one + tree. Slice 2 takes the runs spelled across statements, which is the larger population:

const a = o.a; const b = o.b; const c = o.c;   // one run, three reads, ONE guard

The guard is now shared. expr/region_guard.rs holds the state word, R1, R2, the bounded prime and the miss edges; the two slices are matchers over it. They cannot drift into two guards with two soundness arguments, and slice 1's cells are unchanged by the move (k4 54.00, w4 119.00, kp4 53.00 — identical to #10936's numbers).

Why it could not reuse slice 1's structure

masked_window_region — the existing straight-line statement-run speculation — refuses Stmt::Let outright, and its reason is this slice's whole problem: it emits a fast copy and a slow copy, and a Let lowered once per copy allocates an entry alloca per copy, so ctx.locals[id] names only the last one and every post-region read sees that. Lets are slice 2's population, so duplicating the run is unavailable.

"Load every value, phi, then bind" is unavailable too: in the bail arm the earlier values would sit in registers across later reads, and a generic read can reach a getter, allocate and move the heap — gc-rooting-invariant.md case 3.

So: declare once, assign in both arms. Each binding is declared first through the ordinary Let path (one slot, dominating both arms); the fast arm stores each loaded slot into its binding immediately, so a value is rooted before the next read; the bail arm assigns the same slots in source order through today's lowering. No phi.

R3 is not needed here, and that widens the slice

Slice 1 had to prove every leaf a primitive Number because the fold hoisted reads above the additions. This slice hoists nothing across an operator — the reads happen in source order and the values are bound as they are — so there is no type condition at all, and string- or object-valued fields qualify where slice 1 had to decline them (kpstr4, kpmix4 below). The soundness argument is only: one guard proves the shape for the whole run, no user code can run between the reads (every key in the word is an own data property, so no getter is reachable), and nothing allocates between them, so the unmasked pointer cannot go stale.

Measured: same compiler, kill switch as control

perf stat -e instructions:u, min of 3, fitted 500k → 5M, --no-auto-optimize. The control is the same binary with PERRY_REGION_READS=0 (§L7.6.2: two builds of one program differ by ~1.2% on tsc, so a cross-build A/B cannot resolve a slice this size). Output identical to node on every row.

fixture	shape	off	on	delta	census
kps4	4 reads into consts, parameter receiver	130.00	76.00	−54.00	1 region, 4 reads
kpstr4	same, four string fields	2742.88	2694.88	−48.00	1 region, 4 reads
kpmix4	same, number + string + object fields	267.00	214.00	−53.00	1 region, 4 reads
scp4	a call splits the run	130.00	93.00	−37.00	2 regions
skp6	6 distinct keys	183.00	115.00	−68.00	1 region, 5 reads
skp1	a single read	49.00	49.00	+0.00	0 regions
k4, w4, kp4, k2	slice 1's cells	—	= #10936	+0.00	unchanged
nc4, m1, sp1	no run admitted	377/626.52/232	=	+0.00	0 regions

scp4 and skp6 are the run-boundary controls: a call ends a run (and the two halves each get their own guard), and the sixth distinct key ends it rather than silently dropping a read. skp1 is the "one read is not a region" control — one read already pays one guard, so there is nothing to share, and it is flat.

Real program: the tsc compile

	slice 1 (#10936)	slice 2	candidates
regions formed	28	568	—
reads covered	56	1511	—
statement runs	—	568	623
statement reads	—	1511	1778

Slice 2 covers 91% of the candidate runs and 85% of the candidate reads in typescript.js, and the residual is what it declines (below). Output byte-identical between both arms and node.

The tsc delta is unresolvable on these binaries, and here is the floor that makes it so

Twenty runs, interleaved, same compiler with the kill switch. Arms verified distinct three ways before measuring: sha256 (2bf4ff04… / 5df1dee6…), size (151,606,712 vs 151,806,976 bytes), and the compiler's own build-time census (stmt_regions 0 vs 568). Both binaries are stripped, so no embedded commit marker was available to check — the census is the provenance, and it is the stronger of the two anyway because it shows the FEATURE differs, not just the bytes.

A floor is a property of the binary, so each arm's own floor comes first (lane 14 measured 5.88% on one arm and 0.93% on another of the same workload):

	off floor	on floor	verdict
default pacing	6.97% [1573.45 .. 1683.15 G]	4.77% [1595.36 .. 1671.44 G]	ranges overlap; min-to-min +1.39%
PERRY_GC_MAJOR_PACING_FLOOR_MB=1024, both arms	6.42% [1477.32 .. 1572.14 G]	9.04% [1454.85 .. 1586.42 G]	ranges overlap; min-to-min −1.52%

These arms carry a 5–9% floor, 5–10× the tight arm lane 14 measured. A 2–3% effect cannot exist inside that range, so there is no end-to-end number to report and picking a favourable round would be inventing one. The sign flips between rounds in both configurations.

Pinning the arena-growth trigger that #10928 blames for tsc's 244 full collections moved the absolute count down ~9% (≈1650 → ≈1500 G), so it was doing real work — but the spread stayed 6–9%, so the run-to-run variance is not that trigger. That is a negative result for whoever attributes the floor, not a result for this PR.

So the claim this PR makes is coverage plus the fixtures, and nothing more: 568 regions over 1,511 reads on real tsc (91% of candidate runs, 85% of candidate reads), and the fixture wins above, where the effect is 15–70× the fixture noise. The mechanism is also visible in lane 13's matrix.

What it declines, and the one that cost a measurement

• A binding whose initialiser refines its type. let_stmt refines a declared Any from the INITIALISER (refine_type_from_init), and this slice declares the binding without one. Measured on four string-valued fields of an object-literal receiver: 670 → 2694, a 4× regression, with the region working exactly as designed. Such bindings are now declined. Reaching them means declaring with the refined type AND discharging that path's store obligations — let_stmt calls emit_string_addref_if_heap_string on the value it stores, and a fast-arm bare store would skip a refcount, which is a use-after-free no fixture reliably catches. That is a later slice, not a one-line change.
• Runs of fewer than two reads, more than five distinct keys (one word holds five), a receiver that is one of the run's own bindings, and bindings whose storage is not a plain slot (boxed, TDZ, module global, POD, typed-array, i32-specialised).

Tests

• 8 matcher tests (stmt::region_read_stmts::tests): a run forms, a repeated key shares its slot, a single read is not a run, a second receiver ends the run, a non-read statement ends it, the sixth distinct key ends it, the receiver's own binding ends it, a non-plain binding declines.
• test_parity_region_guards.ts: all 17 lines match node, including F3 — the statement-level correctness: a 3+ operand + chain reads all operands before the adds — a mutating valueOf/toString sees a stale later operand #10904 counterexample, whose answer (6) depends on each read happening in its own statement.
• Suites run -- --test-threads=1, because perry-runtime's memo-counter assertions share process-global state and a parallel run cannot attribute a regression (lane 16, 2026-09-22): cargo test -p perry-codegen 2184 passed / 0 failed, cargo test -p perry-runtime 4211 passed / 0 failed. Single-threaded both are clean on this tree. Slice 2's diff touches no perry-runtime file (git diff --name-only <slice-1>..HEAD -- crates/perry-runtime is empty), so a runtime-suite result is not attributable to it in either direction. fmt and clippy clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Performance
  • Improved handling of consecutive property reads from the same object, including reads across adjacent statements. Optimized access paths retain a general fallback when they cannot be used.
  • Reads remain in source order and are not moved across operators.
• Diagnostics
  • Added optional reporting of property-read optimization activity and consecutive-read patterns within a module.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared region-guard and diagnostic support, routes expression-level region reads through that support, and adds statement-level lowering for consecutive property reads from the same local receiver.

Changes

Region read lowering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared guard machinery and diagnostics crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/region_guard.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/mod.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/mod.rs, scripts/shape_descriptor_census_baseline.json	The shared module provides emission gating, region state, guard and slot-load emission, bounded miss priming, and optional per-module diagnostics with a statement-run census. The codegen entry point uses the shared diagnostic module.
Expression-level region integration crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/region_read_run.rs	Expression-level read regions use the shared gate, counters, guard emitters, and miss priming. The module’s former local guard state and diagnostic census are removed.
Statement-level read-region lowering crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/region_read_stmts.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/mod.rs	Statement lowering matches eligible consecutive reads from one receiver and emits fast, miss, and generic paths. Tests cover run boundaries, repeated keys, and binding eligibility.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 60c24

The new fast path for consecutive property reads skips the garbage-collector barrier that the ordinary variable-assignment path uses. Under incremental collection, this can free an object that a local variable still references, causing memory corruption or crashes in compiled programs. Because this optimization applies broadly, emit the barrier in the fast path before merging.

Defect found while building the next slice: the fast arm omits the incremental-mark root shading barrier that every other path emits for the same store.

The fast arm assigns each binding with a bare ctx.block().store(DOUBLE, &value, slot). The value is stored into an addrspace(1) alloca, so it is rooted — RS4GC relocates it at statepoints, and that part is fine. What is missing is the per-store shading. expr/shadow_slot.rs states the obligation at emit_persistent_shadow_root_barrier:

This is the only part of js_shadow_slot_bind that is genuinely per-store: re-recording slot_ptrs[idx] and re-mirroring the value are loop-invariant for an entry-hoisted alloca, but a pointer stored into a root after the collector scanned roots still has to be shaded.

So when an incremental cycle is in flight (PERRY_INCREMENTAL_MARK_BARRIER_ACTIVE_COUNT != 0) and this root has already been scanned, a pointer the fast arm stores into it is never marked.

Counted in the emitted IR — PERRY_SAVE_LL, one fixture (const a = o.s0; … ×4, two regions), three builds of the same compiler:

build	PERRY_INCREMENTAL_MARK_BARRIER_ACTIVE_COUNT loads
PERRY_REGION_READS=0 (no region)	32
this PR, region on	32
the next slice, region on	40

The region does not remove the barriers — the generic arm still emits its eight (4 bindings × 2 regions), which is why the total is unchanged. The fast arm emits zero. Within one binary the slow path shades and the fast path does not, and no fixture separates them because the fast arm is the one that runs.

The fix is not a line in the fast arm. It is #10973: LocalSet's tail — the alias addref, the shadow mirror including this barrier, the canonical-i32 slot, the i32 mirror — extracted verbatim as bind_lowered_value_to_local, with the fast arm binding through the same function as the generic arm beside it. Then the two arms cannot disagree about what a binding owes, which is the only version of this guarantee that survives someone adding a fifth obligation later.

Measured cost of the barrier on the population this PR already admits (untyped receiver, four reads): 264.00 → 275.00 instructions per iteration, +4.17%. That is the price of the missing shading, and my negative control is what surfaced it — I expected the control to be flat and it was not.

I am not asking for a change to this PR: the extraction is a separate, provably IR-identical PR (#10973) and the fast-arm switch belongs to the slice that follows it. Recording it here so the defect is visible on the PR that has it, rather than only in the one that fixes it.

Rebased onto current main (2754cb0) by the merge queue. New head: 5f9d025.

• Dropped: bcc2aa4aee (step 4b stage 1). It already landed on main as 3290991c6a. The content is identical and only the hunk offsets/context differ. This is what caused the add/add conflict in region_read_run.rs and the conflicts in codegen/mod.rs, expr/mod.rs and shapes_tests.rs.
• Rebased: slice 2 (b7e0b229f2 → 814470cb69). With stage 1 dropped it applied cleanly, and the patch is byte-identical to the original.
• Added: 5f9d025348, which updates scripts/shape_descriptor_census_baseline.json. Slice 2 moves the region guard's object_header_size_bytes callsite from expr/region_read_run.rs to expr/region_guard.rs. The stage-1 landing had recorded that callsite in the census, so the key moves with it. The count is unchanged.

Gates run locally, all passing: cargo fmt --check, check_file_size.sh, raw_handle_debt.py (and --no-raise-vs origin/main), unrooted_local_shape.py --check, shape_descriptor_census.py, cargo check -p perry --bins, cargo test --release -p perry-codegen (2198 passed, 0 failed across 40 binaries), and RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --lib shapes (65 passed).

[proggeramlug]

Merge queue: retargeted from feat/region-read-runs to main. Slice 1 (bcc2aa4) is already on main as 3290991, and this branch is rebased onto main, so the stale base was the only reason it showed as conflicting and CI never ran.

Keep the incremental root barrier in the fast arm.

The fast arm writes each emit_slot_loads result with a raw store, but the ordinary LocalSet path shades pointer-capable local roots.

The incremental collector performs its initial root scan only once. Budgeted cycles add one FinalRootRemark, but that is the last root observation. The runtime then opens mutator windows before sweep and requires barriers for every later white-to-strong transition. A fast-arm store in that window can install a pointer that is not marked. If the receiver field is overwritten, the binding can be the only remaining reference, and the collector may reclaim the object.

Emit the same root-store barrier used by LocalSet after every fast-arm binding store.

Preserve initializer-derived discriminant aliases.

lower_let records guarded_discriminant_aliases for immutable, unreassigned PropertyGet(LocalGet(owner), property) initializers. This region declares each binding with init: None, which removes that alias. The fast arm stores values directly and does not record it again. Later guarded narrowing on the binding can therefore fall back to generic lowering.

Exclude this initializer shape from binding_is_plain_slot by passing mutable through scan and applying the same condition as lower_let:

In `@crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/region_read_stmts.rs` around lines 222 - 231,
Update `binding_is_plain_slot` admission via `scan` to receive the binding’s
mutability and exclude immutable, unreassigned `PropertyGet` initializers whose
object is a `LocalGet`. This keeps those bindings on the path that preserves the
initializer-derived discriminant alias recorded by `lower_let`.

Merge queue: merging on the CI run of 60c2416. The only delta is the changelog fragment (b2d7e2c). That run's other reds were the owner-grandfathered public-baseline step and the Windows type-check, which failed while setting up the runner's toolchain (cargo-xwin: "Failed to setup clang-cl symlink ... File exists"), which is infra. Stacked on current main with #11162/#11173/#11176: the full lint script tier and a strict compile are clean.
