fix(gc): avoid stale tracked-view backing pointers - #8014
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughTracked native-view accesses now avoid cached backing pointers when index or value evaluation may collect. Masked-window reads receive pre-lowered operands. Loop matching rejects collecting masked expressions. Tests verify root placement, reload ordering, slot counts, and runtime fallback selection. ChangesRooting-safe access paths
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to The PR changes masked-window fast-copy admission, but some indexed reads can still trigger garbage collection while another array’s backing pointer is hoisted; that can cause stale-pointer memory access and incorrect results, so merge should wait for this path to be rejected or made non-collecting.

Blocking finding with an emitted-IR witness:
The masked-window copy is not call-free for every expression admitted by packed_f64_range_loop_pure_expr_collect. That walker accepts Unary and LocalGet recursively. For this shape (where key is any):
sum += view[(+key) & 7]the masked Int32Array tier emits, in order:
%data = call i64 @js_typed_array_masked_window_data_ptr(...)
%number = call double @js_number_coerce(double %key)
...
%value = load i32, ptr %elementjs_number_coerce can execute user valueOf/Symbol.toPrimitive, allocate, and collect. Thus the hoisted raw backing pointer crosses a collecting call. The new comment in masked_window.rs is not an invariant established by the matchers, and removing the #8013 rooting does not make the cached pointer safe.
Please either reject masked-window indexes for which rooting::operand_may_collect(ctx, index) is true before entering/using the typed-array tier, or revalidate and rederive the data pointer after lowering such an index. Add a regression that uses an any operand under unary + (a bare key & 7 is insufficient because the current native lowering may use a direct conversion and conceal this path).
The eight new computed-store rooting tests pass locally; they do not exercise this masked-window coercion window.

The submitted whole-operator proof fixes both previously reported coercion shapes, and all 11 focused computed/rooting tests pass locally. One remaining admission bypass still blocks merge at 051e3a10b:
packed_f64_range_loop_dense_body_collectspecial-casesStmt::Expr(Expr::Update { id, .. })atloops.rs:1105without callingmasked_window_expression_is_non_collectingor checking that the local is inert.try_match_masked_window_regiondoes the same atmasked_window_region.rs:437.
A body/region shaped like:
sum = ta[0] + ta[1];
key++;
sum = ta[0] + ta[1];with ta: any and key: any is therefore still admitted. The TA copy hoists the raw backing pointer for the whole copy; key++ runs ToNumeric and may invoke user valueOf/Symbol.toPrimitive, collect, or dispose/move backing state before the later reads consume that pointer. The new proof itself conservatively rejects Update (_ => None), but these two match arms bypass it.
Please gate standalone updates with the existing inert-local predicate (or route them through an Update-aware whole-expression proof) in both matchers, and add positive inert plus negative any witnesses for loop and straight-line region paths. I have not merged this head.

Re-audited exact head 67db2045b9aa77c7fba8b81a5ec190cb629928ba: both standalone-Update admission arms now route through the whole-expression proof; its Update case uses the established inert-local predicate. The positive Int32 controls retain the loop and region tiers, while the any cases emit js_to_numeric and decline them. All 13 focused computed/rooting tests pass locally, and the incremental diff passes git diff --check. No remaining blocker found.

Reject masked-window regions with ineligible indexed reads.
try_match_masked_window_region drops untyped-ineligible IndexGet receivers from region.arrays, but lower_region_copy still lowers those reads in the typed-array fast copy. Their ordinary lowering can call js_object_get_index_polymorphic and trigger GC while another array’s hoisted pointer is live. Reject the region unless every admitted IndexGet receiver is covered by a masked-window fact or a guarded non-collecting lowering.
