fix(runtime): Buffer[Symbol.species] is FastBuffer - #11198
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Node's Buffer carries an own get [Symbol.species] accessor returning FastBuffer, the Uint8Array subclass that shares Buffer.prototype; new FastBuffer(arrayBuffer, byteOffset, length) is a Buffer view over that memory and new FastBuffer(size) is zero-filled. Perry answered undefined. undici builds every llhttp callback argument with new (Buffer[Symbol.species])(...), so the first response status line threw 'undefined is not a constructor' inside the parser. FastBuffer lives in the getter's capture slot, so no new runtime root holder is added and the getter answers the same object every time.

Ready to merge once CI is clean (undici blocker, the Buffer half of #11193). Buffer[Symbol.species] is now defined, so undici's FastBuffer construction works. The gap test fails on the base and passes on the branch; the other 54 Buffer, typed-array and symbol gap tests are unchanged. |

Use typed-array length semantics for string arguments.
When value is "4", line 46 delegates to buffer_constructor_thunk, which routes the string to js_buffer_from_value. That path creates a one-byte Buffer containing the string byte 0x34. FastBuffer must follow Uint8Array semantics and create four zero-filled bytes for this input. Handle string values with typed-array length conversion before the Buffer string path.

Re-read the closure pointer before setting its length.
set_bound_native_closure_name allocates the name string. If that allocation moves the closure, the current code stores the length override under the old address. FastBuffer.length can then fall back to the registered arity of 3 instead of the required value 0. Re-read the pointer in a second with_mut_ptr call, as in bound_native_callable_export_value.

What this fixes
Buffer[Symbol.species]wasundefined. In Node it is an ownget [Symbol.species]accessor onBufferthat returnsFastBuffer, the internalUint8Arraysubclass every Buffer is really an instance of:FastBuffer.prototype === Buffer.prototype.new FastBuffer(arrayBuffer, byteOffset, length)is a Buffer view over that memory (no copy).new FastBuffer(size)is zero-filled, likenew Uint8Array(size).undici 8.9.0 captures it at module load and builds every llhttp callback argument with it (
lib/dispatcher/client-h1.js):so the first response status line threw
TypeError: undefined is not a constructorinsideParser.execute. Before #11194, that error was itself masked by anull.constructorthrow in undici'sutil.destroy.Fix
New
perry-runtime/src/object/native_module/callable_exports/buffer_species.rs, called once frombuffer_constructor_value()after theBufferconstructor and its prototype are minted. (callable_exports.rsis at 1944 of 2000 lines, so the code lives in its own module.)FastBufferis its own closure (name"FastBuffer",length0,prototype=Buffer.prototype). A numeric size allocates a zero-filled Buffer. Every other shape delegates to the existingBufferconstructor thunk, which already makes the memory-sharingArrayBufferview viajs_buffer_from_arraybuffer_slice.set_symbol_accessor_propertyas{ get, set: undefined, enumerable: false, configurable: true }, matching Node.FastBufferis held in the getter closure's capture slot, not in a new static. Captures are traced and the symbol-accessor side table already roots the getter, so this adds no runtime root holder, andBuffer[Symbol.species] === Buffer[Symbol.species].Scope: only the Buffer half of #11193
[Symbol.species]is also missing onArray,Map,Set,Promise,RegExp,ArrayBufferand%TypedArray%.
