fix(hir): keep observable user code out of a folded builder (#10357) - #10361
proggeramlug wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…rryTS#10353) `fold_builder_sequences` (PerryTS#6812) only matched when the `o.k = v` assignments followed the `const o = {}` binding immediately, so a single ordinary declaration in between — the usual way initialisation code names its constants — dropped the whole sequence. The unfolded `{}` lowers to a 0-field `__AnonShape_…`, which denies `Ptr<Shape>` containment (every key really is undeclared on a shape that declares nothing) and sends every store down `js_put_value_set`, re-interning and re-coercing the key per execution: 108,444,840 instructions against 1,400,471 for the same program with the constants written inline. The scan now skips up to 64 statements between an EMPTY literal and its first assignment, sinking the allocation below them. A statement qualifies only when moving the allocation past it is unobservable, which is the pair of conditions the value side already carries: it must not name the binding, and it must not be able to execute user code (a call can reach a hoisted `function peek() { return o; }` that names the binding without naming it in the statement, turning a successful read into a TDZ ReferenceError). Destructuring patterns, `enum`/`namespace` and populated literals are excluded; `type`/`interface` are erased and are skipped. Skipped statements keep their relative order and still run before every folded value.

Remove the "nothing folds differently" claim, or scope it to the conversion rule.
This PR also ships changelog.d/10361-builder-fold-toprimitive.md, which stops folding converting values ("" + w, -w, `${w}`) for builders that code in scope can read early. Those values folded before this release. When the two fragments are assembled into one release note, this sentence contradicts that entry.
State the gap rule as an additional match and let the conversion fragment own the behavior change, or say explicitly that the only fold that is withdrawn is the observable conversion case.

…10357) Folding `const o = {}; o.a = v;` into `const o = { a: v }` evaluates `v` before `o` is initialized. `value_is_fold_safe` claimed such values run no user code, yet admitted two ways to run it. First, every converting operator: `"" + w`, `-w`, `w < 1`, `w == 1` and `` `${w}` `` all call `w`'s `valueOf`/`toString`/`Symbol.toPrimitive`. Second, every bare identifier: a name that is no binding reads the global object, whose property may be an accessor. When that code reads `o`, node builds the object and perry threw a TDZ ReferenceError. Dropping both would stop the fold's own motivating example (`o.b = r + i`) from folding. Instead, a new `FoldScope` asks whether anything can read the binding early. User code can only read a binding it names, so the scan looks for function-likes in the enclosing function (or module) that mention the builder's name. To avoid giving up folds, it ignores a function-like created after a `let`/`const` builder (the binding is fresh per loop pass and execution within a pass only moves forward) and one that re-binds the name at its own function level. It always counts a hoisted function declaration and any observer of a `var`, and treats `eval`, `with`, an export of the name and a module-level `var` as observers outright. Unobservable builders fold exactly as before. On an observable one, a conversion needs operands that are primitive by construction, and a read needs a proven declarative binding. `Visible` provides that proof from declarations that cover the whole region: a list's own declarations, parameters, function-scoped `var`s, loop heads, catch parameters, and module imports and declarations. It never counts a sibling block, an ambient `declare` (PerryTS#10363), or anything in a module containing `with`. The gap statements from PerryTS#10355 take the same answers.

Require folded conversions to be non-throwing.
“Primitive by construction” does not guarantee normal completion. For example, +1n and 1n + 1 throw TypeError, but these checks permit both.
Consider this sequence:
let peek;
try {
peek = () => o;
const o = {};
o.a = +1n;
} catch {
console.log(peek());
}The original code initializes o before the TypeError. The folded initializer throws before o initializes, so peek() produces a TDZ ReferenceError.
Require proof that the operation cannot complete abruptly. Otherwise, keep the assignment after the allocation. Apply the same rule to gap statements, which reuse this predicate. Add HIR and compile-and-run coverage for this case.

Fixes #10357. Stacked on #10355: the first commit is #10355, so review the second one. It changes the same predicate #10355's gap test reuses. Merge #10355 first.

string/object. perry:ReferenceErrorboth times.The fix, without the tradeoff the issue predicted
The issue proposed dropping the converting operators, which would also stop the fold's motivating example (
o.b = r + i) from folding. That isn't necessary. The hazard needs user code that can read the binding before the literal initializes it, and code can only read a binding it names. So the fold asks whether such code exists (FoldScope, computed once per function body or module):let/constbuilder is not an observer, because the binding is fresh on each loop pass and execution within a pass only moves forward. A hoisted function declaration always counts. So does any observer of avar, because every loop pass shares the binding: a closure pushed after the builder in pass 0 runs during pass 1's fold (tested).eval(Perry compiles a literaleval("o")into a closure that readso, visible in the HIR),with, an export of the name, and a module-levelvar(a global-object property).varis function-scoped, and aletin onecaseis visible to every other case of itsswitch.An unobservable builder folds exactly as before. On an observable one:
Visible). The proof chain is built only from declarations that cover the whole region: a statement list's own declarations, parameters, function-scopedvars, loop heads, catch parameters, and module imports and declarations. A sibling block's declaration does not count, an ambientdeclaredoes not count (see hir:declare const/let/varis lowered as a real binding initialized to undefined — shadows the global it describes #10363), and nothing resolves in a module containingwith.undefined/NaN/Infinityalways resolve: they are non-configurable data properties and can never become accessors.#10355's gap statements take the same answers.
