…ine pipeline when one function is over the fast-emit budget A function over PERRY_LL_FAST_EMIT_MAX_INSTRS used to switch its whole codegen unit to LLVM's O0 machine pipeline. It now takes, in order: a shadow-frame re-lowering for statepoint functions (optimized pipeline kept), containment in a module of its own emitted with FastISel on the optimized pipeline (O0 only past four times the budget), and whole-unit bounded emission only where the unit cannot be split. The compile prints a one-line machine-tier census when anything leaves the optimized tier.

Keep non-retryable functions on the containment path.
optimize_and_emit returns Rs4gcBudgetExceeded for every over-budget function in rewritten_functions before split_moved_functions runs. Native and codegen callers consume this error while they retain the lowering-owned LlModule. However, compile_ll_to_object forwards the error from compile_ll_to_object_inprocess without retrying it. Direct callers such as the .ll fallback and tiny-program compiler propagate that error, so they cannot reach containment for an over-budget statepoint function.
The spill refusal is narrower: request_shadow_frame_spill returns false only after the function already requested a forced shadow frame. The remaining issue is that text-only callers cannot honor the typed retry. Pass re-lowering eligibility into the emitter, request re-lowering only for functions whose caller retains a lowering owner, and let the other functions continue to split_moved_functions and bounded emission.

Keep the PERRY_LLVM_KEEP_IR object contract in the multi-part arm.
When containment splits the unit, this arm returns early. With policy.keep set, it does not write the merged object to plan.obj_path, and it does not print kept object:. The single-part arms below document the contract that the location is printed (#8087). Tools that parse kept object: lose their subject exactly when fast-emit containment fires. Write the merged object and print its path, the same way the non-assembly arm does.

Scope machine-tier counts to one compile.
These counters persist across perry dev rebuilds. If one rebuild records a contained function, a later rebuild can print the same nonzero summary even when it emits no over-budget function. Reset the counts at the start of each compile, or use a per-compile counter set that codegen workers share.

Include cached modules in the machine-tier summary.
A module object-cache hit returns before codegen records its machine tiers. On a fresh process with a warm object cache, this call can return None even when the compiled artifact contains a function emitted through FastISel or O0. Store and replay tier counts with each cached object, or describe the line as a census of cache misses rather than of the compile.

Merge queue: CI is green, but the branch is 292 commits behind main and conflicts in |
|
Closing (owner decision, 2026-09-28): we won't take the threshold-plus-fallback approach. The real fix is the precise-rooting plan in RFC #11528: S0 #11531, S2 #11554 and S3 #11593 are merged, S1 #11565 is in the queue, and S4/S4b and the deferral steps follow. With those plus the #11179 scope-object rework, no claude-code function crosses the fast-emit budget. The measurements in this PR (FastISel vs O0 per-tier sizes) stay here for reference. |
A function over the optimized machine-pipeline budget (
PERRY_LL_FAST_EMIT_MAX_INSTRS: 600k on x86-64, 100k elsewhere) used to switch its whole codegen unit to LLVM's O0 machine pipeline. On the Claude Code bundle with #11179, one factory closure took 950 sibling functions to O0, and its own code grew ×18. This PR makes the fallback proportional. An over-budget function takes, in order:Rs4gcBudgetCause::MachineBudget). It is lowered with its GC roots in a shadow frame, and the unit is compiled again at the same level. On cc + perf(gc): scope context objects for captured-and-mutated bindings #11179 the closure was 975,886 instructions after IR optimization, and 870,626 of those (89%) weregc.relocate. After the re-lowering it is 48,418 instructions and goes through the normal optimized pipeline.inprocess/fast_emit_split.rs), emitted there, and joined back with theld -rmerge that codegen units already use. Every other function in the unit keeps the optimized pipeline. The contained function uses the optimized pipeline with FastISel instruction selection (LLVMSetTargetMachineFastISel, set per TargetMachine, so no globalcl::opt). It falls back to O0 only past 4× the budget (MachineTier).ld -rthe target's objects, an alias or ifunc in the unit, or a moved function in a comdat. This is the old behaviour, but it now uses the same tier rule.Cut invariants: every local the cut severs (internal functions, private constants, internal globals) is promoted to external hidden linkage, with a name made unique by an FNV hash of the unit's function set. Everything else in the clone is deleted or left as a declaration. Initializers and
llvm.used/ctors stay on the sibling side, and module asm is kept in both halves. Each half carries its own stack map. The contained module is verified before the original is cut, so a declined split never leaves a half-cut unit.Guard: when anything leaves the optimized tier, the compile prints one line,
perry: machine code: …(perry_codegen::machine_tiers).Why FastISel and not O0 (tier table)
llc22 on the extracted closure (post-default<Os>, statepoint form), one sample each:On x86-64,
-time-passesputs 84.5 of 89.4 s in SelectionDAG ISel and 0.4 s in the greedy allocator, and FastISel removes exactly that cost. O0 is kept as the backstop past 4× the budget. The arm64 100k ceiling rests on two register-allocator pathologies (documented on the constant), and FastISel does not address those. The new re-lowering tier makes a function reach that backstop far less often.cc compile (perry compile --no-link, PERRY_NO_CACHE=1, PERRY_MODULE_JOBS=2 PERRY_CODEGEN_UNIT_JOBS=1)
All runs: one sample each, sequential, on shared perrymaster (x86-64, 16 cores). Load varied between them, so read wall and CPU as direction only. Every arm fails at link time on missing ext archives (http/net/typescript); that happens after the object is written.
.text.perry_gcmap.onot bundle)* #11179's own run did not use
PERRY_MODULE_JOBS=2 PERRY_CODEGEN_UNIT_JOBS=1.The census line printed on the #11179 arm:
perry: machine code: 1 function(s) over the optimized-pipeline budget re-lowered onto a shadow frame (optimized pipeline kept); 0 emitted alone …; 0 unit(s) …. Main and the branch print none, because no main cc function reaches the budget. The branch's objects for the whole gap corpus are byte-identical to main's.Runtime (Part 2) is not measured: cc does not start on current main (#11301).
Tests and sabotage
inprocess/fast_emit_split_tests.rs. The sibling's machine code is byte-identical to a no-budget emission, and with the split declined it differs (the discriminating arm). A cross-cut program with an internal extreme function called directly and through a table, an internal helper, a private string and a shared mutable global is linked and run, and must return the same exit code as the unsplit build. Promotion is hidden, minimal and unit-unique. The sibling half keeps its stack map, and an over-budget statepoint function requests a re-lowering. Tier boundaries are covered, and both tiers are live. Also new:native_emit::machine_budget_relowers_a_statepoint_function_onto_a_shadow_frameand amachine_tierscensus test.split_emission_supportedfalse fails 4 tests; dropping the promotion fails 2 (link and IR); leaving the moved body on the sibling side fails 2; disabling the re-lowering fails 2.

That is a stronger no-regression result than running them.cargo fmt --checkandscripts/check_file_size.shpass.Part 3 (removing the cause) — follow-up
For statepoint giants the cause is relocation fan-out (≈291 relocations per safepoint here), and tier 1 now removes it automatically. The pre-RS4GC estimate (≈2.6M, against the 32M
PERRY_ROOT_SPILL_RELOCATIONScliff) cannot see it, because the fan-out appears only after the optimizer. For non-statepoint giants (generated tables, wide AnonShape constructors, init bodies), the remaining work is outlining at codegen: split long straight-line statement runs of init/factory bodies into helper functions that take the closure environment. That is a separate PR.Summary by CodeRabbit
