Summary

  • is_user_class_instance (local_array_methods.rs), class_typed, and the push-specific is_user_class_receiver (array_only_methods.rs) all decide whether recv.method(...) should fold to the dense Array fast path (Expr::ArrayFind/ArrayMap/ArrayPush/…) by matching Type::Named/Type::Generic directly, with no Type::Union arm. A receiver typed as a union containing a class (Foo | undefined, cheerio's Cheerio<AnyNode> | undefined) fell through to _ => false in all three places, so a method name shared with Array.prototype (find, map, filter, forEach, reduce, push, …) folded to the array intrinsic on a genuine class instance — calling the user's argument as a callback, or misreading the object header as an ArrayHeader.
  • cheerio hit this on its single most common operation, load.ts's searchContext.find(search) (searchContext: Cheerio<AnyNode> | undefined), where find is cheerio's own CSS-selector method mixed onto Cheerio.prototype at runtime — every cheerio.load(html)("selector") call threw TypeError: string "..." is not a function.
  • Fix: each guard now recurses through Type::Union (including nested unions, which type_alias_resolve.rs's resolve_type_inner can produce when a union member is itself an alias to a union type) using the exact same per-variant test it already applied to a bare receiver. No new shape invented — the same file already used Some(Type::Union(variants)) => variants.iter().any(...) in six other places.

Fixes #10796

Test plan

  • New unit tests in both touched files (local_array_methods.rs, array_only_methods.rs): bare Named/Generic, Union with a Named member, Union with a Generic member (the real cheerio shape), a nested Union, and a negative control (non-class union stays declined).
  • New gap tests, byte-identical to Node 26.5.1:
    • test-files/test_gap_10796_union_class_find_not_array_fold.ts — the minimal repro (Foo | undefined, .find).
    • test-files/test_gap_10796_union_generic_class_array_overlap_methods.tsBox<string> | undefined (generic-in-union, cheerio's real shape) exercising find/map/filter/forEach/reduce/push on one receiver.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo check --workspace --all-targets under -D warnings — clean
  • cargo test -p perry-hir — 479 lib tests + all integration test binaries, 0 failures
  • SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh — 79/80 pass; the 1 failure is the pre-existing "Public benchmark evidence freshness" gate (known red on main, unrelated)
  • Real acceptance: cheerio 1.2.0 compiles and runs end-to-end, byte-identical to Node 26.5.1 (perry.compilePackages: ["cheerio"], 119-module compile) — verified on a separate host with the actual npm package installed
  • Regression sweep: 130 existing gap tests whose name matches array/class/collection dispatch (array, stack, push, collection, mongo, denque, forEach, _map_, _find, semver, route_matcher), run individually against Node — 129 pass, 1 fails only because Node itself rejects the file's TypeScript syntax in strip-only mode (ERR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPESCRIPT_SYNTAX, ap re-existing node_fail unrelated to this change, not a Perry regression)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed method dispatch for class and generic instances typed as unions, including nullable values.
    • Prevented methods that share names with array methods—such as find, map, filter, reduce, and push—from being incorrectly treated as array operations.
    • Improved runtime behavior for array-like class instances, including compatibility with Cheerio-style values.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for nested unions, generic classes, and overlapping array method names.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now recurses through union types when classifying receivers for array method lowering. Class and generic receivers avoid incorrect Array.prototype fast paths. New unit and runtime fixtures cover nested unions and overlapping method names.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep Array<T> out of the class receiver guards.

Type::Generic { base: "Array", .. } matches these branches, and it cannot match Type::Array(_). The new union recursion therefore classifies Array<T> | undefined as class-shaped and bypasses dense array lowering.

  • crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/local_array_methods.rs#L148-L149: check the generic base explicitly for "Array" before returning true; add a generic-array union negative test.
  • crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/array_only_methods.rs#L44-L45: apply the same generic-base exclusion and regression test for array-only lowering.

Pulled from merge train 257 (#11039): it regresses a gap test that passes on main.

test_gap_numeric_push_guarded: pass -> parity_fail
  node exits 0, perry exits 1 — the first line matches ("plain 4 [1,2,3,4]"), so it throws later

Shard 5 of run 35783072723, fast mode, against the committed Linux snapshot.

Attribution is by elimination rather than by bisect, so treat it as strong but not proven: of the 37 PRs in that train, this is the only one touching the array-method fold path, and it touches it heavily — +250 in crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/local_array_methods.rs and +152 in array_only_methods.rs. The fixture is exactly that path:

function push(a: any, v: number): number {
  a.push(v);
  return a.length;
}
const plain: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
console.log("plain", push(plain, 4), JSON.stringify(plain));
for (let i = 0; i < 40; i++) push(plain, i);
console.log("grown", plain.length, plain[43], JSON.stringify(plain.slice(0, 5)));
const mixed: any[] = [1, 2];

An any-typed receiver that is in fact a number[], pushed in a loop past its initial capacity, then read back by index and sliced. The throw happens after the first line, so look at the grown/mixed section rather than the first push.

The underlying fix is right and I want it — a receiver typed Foo | undefined folding to Expr::ArrayFind and running the user's argument as a predicate is a real bug across the whole overlapping-method set. It just can't land while it breaks the plain-array path.

To reproduce: PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 PERRY_BIN=$PWD/target/release/perry PERRY_RUNTIME_DIR=$PWD/target/release ./scripts/run_gap_tests.sh --filter numeric_push_guarded after cargo build --release -p perry -p perry-runtime -p perry-stdlib -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static. The full diff lands in test-parity/output/.

Please add that fixture's shape to your differential — an any receiver that is genuinely an array is the case a union-aware predicate is most likely to mis-answer. Ping me when it's green and it goes in the next train.

Correction: this PR is cleared, and my earlier attribution was wrong.

I pulled it from train 257 saying it regressed test_gap_numeric_push_guarded, on the grounds that it was the only PR touching the array-method fold path. The next train run — without this PR — failed that same test again. So it was not the cause, and I accused it on file-proximity rather than evidence.

The real suspect is #11019 (preserve observable nested array rows), the only PR touching collectors/mutation.rs / codegen/mod.rs, which also explains two further regressions in the same run (test_gap_rest_bundle_and_map_fill, and test_gap_7541_array_subclass_inherited_statics failing with TypeError: value is not a function). It has been pulled instead.

This PR is back in train 257 and rides with the other 34. Nothing needed from you. Apologies for the noise — the suggestion I made about adding an any-receiver-that-is-really-an-array case to your differential still stands on its own merits, but it is not a condition of landing.

…ype (#10796)

`is_user_class_instance` (local_array_methods.rs), `class_typed`, and the
push-specific `is_user_class_receiver` (array_only_methods.rs) all decide
whether recv.method(...) should fold to the dense Array fast path
(Expr::ArrayFind/ArrayMap/ArrayPush/...) by matching Type::Named/
Type::Generic directly. A receiver typed as a Union containing a class
(`Foo | undefined`, cheerio's `Cheerio<AnyNode> | undefined`) fell through
to `_ => false` in all three places and read as "not a class instance", so
a method name shared with Array.prototype (find, map, filter, forEach,
reduce, push, ...) folded to the array intrinsic and called the user's
argument as a callback/misread the object header as an ArrayHeader.

cheerio hit this on its single most common operation: `load.ts`'s
`searchContext.find(search)`, where `searchContext: Cheerio<AnyNode> |
undefined` and `find` is cheerio's own CSS-selector method (mixed onto
`Cheerio.prototype` at runtime) — not `Array.prototype.find`. Every
`cheerio.load(html)("selector")` call threw `TypeError: string "..." is
not a function`.

Fix: each guard now recurses through Type::Union (including nested unions,
which type_alias_resolve.rs's resolve_type_inner can produce) using the
same per-variant test it already applied to a bare receiver.

Real cheerio 1.2.0 now compiles and runs end-to-end, byte-identical to
Node 26.5.1. A targeted sweep of the 130 existing gap tests touching
array/class/collection dispatch shows no regressions (129 pass, 1
pre-existing node_fail unrelated to this change).

Landed on main in merge train 260 (#11085), released as v0.5.1643 at d8f24f15ed.

Cherry-picked from this PR's head 418a9e9ca1 and validated as one tree — CI 22/22 green, all 6 gap-suite shards. A train rebase gives the commits new SHAs, so GitHub cannot auto-close the source PR; closing by hand.

Nothing needed from you. Thanks.
