Summary

Adds a guarded, allocation-free for...in path for stable one-key ordinary-object shapes, while preserving the complete generic enumerator for every proof miss.

Changes

  • Route compiled ForInKeys expressions through js_for_in_keys_stable_value.
  • Reuse the immutable shape-owned key snapshot when the receiver, key, descriptors, and %Object.prototype% generation prove the result exact.
  • Mark returned key arrays shared so additions in the loop body fork the shape snapshot; deletion remains covered by the existing per-key in recheck.
  • Keep proxies, custom prototypes, descriptors, multi-key objects, nullish values, and other exotics on js_for_in_keys_value.
  • Add opt-in PERRY_FOR_IN_DIAG=1 selection evidence, a compiler-output ratchet, and a normal/forced-evacuation semantic integration test.

Test plan

  • cargo build --release -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static -j 2
  • cargo test --release -p perry --test issue_8694_stable_for_in -j 2 -- --nocapture
  • python scripts/check_test_registration.py
  • Direct rustfmt --check, TOML parse, and git diff --check
  • Retained LLVM for sumRegistry calls js_for_in_keys_stable_value and contains no calls to js_for_in_keys_value, js_object_keys, or js_object_get_own_property_names
  • PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE=1 run: checksum exact and stable_single=200000, fallback=0
  • Full affected-crate/conformance matrix (left to CI; focused release and semantic coverage above passed)

Synthetic performance evidence on this Windows x86-64 host, 200k calls, 11 alternating warmed runs: stable literal median 70.36 ms versus 1018.11 ms for the same one-key loop forced through the generic path by a custom empty prototype (93.1% lower wall time). An Apple M1 host was not available locally; the registered compiler-output workload provides the repeatable CI fixture.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now routes compiled for...in key enumeration through a guarded runtime fast path. Eligible one-key objects reuse immutable snapshots. Other receivers use generic enumeration. Tests cover mutations, prototypes, proxies, exceptions, diagnostics, and moving garbage collection.

Stable for-in enumeration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime stable-key validation
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/for_in_stable.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set.rs
The runtime validates object shape, key metadata, enumerability, and prototype state. It returns a shared snapshot on success and falls back to js_for_in_keys_value otherwise.
Compiler runtime dispatch
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/logical_collections.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/strings.rs
Expr::ForInKeys calls the new js_for_in_keys_stable_value declaration.
Integration coverage
crates/perry/tests/issue_8694_stable_for_in.rs
The integration test checks stable and fallback cases, output ordering, exceptions, diagnostics, compilation, and forced evacuation.
Benchmark and release records
benchmarks/compiler_output/fixtures/for_in_stable_keys.ts, benchmarks/compiler_output/workloads.toml, changelog.d/8709-for-in-stable-keys.md
The benchmark registers checksum and IR assertions for the guarded helper. The changelog records stable snapshot reuse and fallback conditions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b983c

This PR adds a fast path for stable one-key for-in enumeration, but its registered compiler-output workload currently fails schema validation before the advertised compilation and regression checks can run. Merge should wait until the required runtime budget configuration is added; the additional parity coverage can remain follow-up work.

Add a perform-ecs parity workload.

The current fixture tests only synthetic one-key enumeration and a scalar checksum. No tracked workload provides perform-ecs coverage or exact state/checksum parity.

Add the required runtime_budgets table.

The workload schema validator in scripts/compiler_output_harness/spec.py requires every workload to define runtime_budgets. This workload does not define that table, so validation fails before compilation and the checksum and IR checks cannot run. Add the runtime budget entries used by the neighboring workloads.

The required-field contract is defined by scripts/compiler_output_harness/spec.py.

Lands #8709.

Routes compiled `ForInKeys` through `js_for_in_keys_stable_value` and
reuses the immutable shape-owned key snapshot when the receiver, key,
descriptors and %Object.prototype% generation prove the result exact,
keeping the complete generic enumerator for every proof miss.

The reuse guard was checked rather than assumed. `PrototypeSignature`
carries a raw `prototype_addr`, which is the shape that went stale in
#8393 -- but this is not that shape. The signature is recomputed live on
every call from `object_prototype_addr()`, with `try_read_gc_header`
validation and an explicit `GC_FLAG_FORWARDED` rejection, and the cached
verdict is consulted only when the freshly-read signature compares equal
in all three fields. The cached address is never dereferenced, so a moved
prototype produces a mismatch and a cold recompute rather than a false
hit. Descriptor, key and prototype mutations mint a new ShapeId, and
class-level changes move `vtable_generation`.

`PROTOTYPE_VERDICT` is a new rule-T holder, pinned on the inventory
frontier alongside the other identity-ratcheted thread-locals.

No version bump.

Landed on main via #8710 (squash 2ecdd1adf).

The thing I checked hardest was PrototypeSignature's raw prototype_addr, since a side table keyed by a raw heap address is what went stale in #8393. Yours isn't that shape: the signature is recomputed live from object_prototype_addr() on every call, with try_read_gc_header validation and an explicit GC_FLAG_FORWARDED rejection, and the cached address is never dereferenced — so a moved prototype yields a mismatch and a cold recompute rather than a false hit. Good design.

PROTOTYPE_VERDICT is a new rule-T holder, so I pinned it on the inventory frontier (the gate wanted it before it would go green).

One note for next time: your issue_8694_stable_for_in acceptance test failed for me until I rebuilt the -static wrappers — cargo test -p perry --test <suite> links a stale libperry_{runtime,stdlib}.a otherwise. With cargo build -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static and PERRY_RUNTIME_DIR pinned, it passes.

Validated: all 30 lint checkers, runtime 2655/0, codegen 1214/0, transform 87/0. Thanks!
