Summary

Introduces the first independently usable slice of the native value profile proposed in #6827: a stable perry/native module over Perry's existing verifier-backed fixed-width scalar, POD layout, and arena pipeline.

Changes

  • Adds public i32, i64, u32, u64, usize, f32, f64, pod<T>, PodView<T>, layout intrinsics, and NativeArena declarations.
  • Canonicalizes named and aliased perry/native imports into the existing HIR native representation markers.
  • Makes PodView.length observable through a disposal-aware runtime helper.
  • Ships generated type stubs, language documentation, HIR/runtime coverage, and an executable end-to-end fixture.
  • Deliberately leaves unsupported widths and checked scalar conversions for later slices instead of promising behavior the compiler does not yet implement.

Test plan

  • cargo build --release clean (existing warnings only)
  • Full workspace test suite not run
  • cargo test -p perry-hir --test native_arena -- --nocapture
  • cargo test -p perry-runtime native_pod_view_validates_bounds_alignment_layout_and_dispose -- --nocapture
  • cargo test -p perry-api-manifest --lib --quiet
  • cargo test -p perry --bin perry commands::types::tests::writes_perry_native_type_stub -- --exact --nocapture
  • PERRY=target/debug/perry bash tests/test_native_value_profile.sh
  • python3 scripts/check_test_registration.py
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • Added tests/test_native_value_profile.sh and focused crate tests
  • Updated docs/src/
  • Platform UI backend build not applicable

./scripts/pre-tag-check.sh --quick passes formatting, benchmark, architecture, and changed-file size checks, then reports a pre-existing GC store-site inventory marker missing in untouched crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/property_set.rs:1457.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds the stable perry/native profile. It defines native type declarations, resolves aliases during HIR lowering, lowers arena and POD operations, reports PodView.length at runtime, generates type stubs, and adds documentation and regression tests.

Blocking on exact head 1cd0636. I reproduced two public-contract failures independently of CI. (1) PodView.length only recognizes the original immutable local whose initializer is NativePodView. With const direct: PodView

= arena.podView(...); const alias = direct; alias.length, emitted IR calls js_native_pod_view_length for direct but routes alias.length through the generic object-property PIC/js_object_get_field_ic_miss. NativePodView is not an ordinary ObjectHeader, so an ordinary value alias loses the promised length behavior. Please propagate PodView metadata through safe LocalGet aliases or lower typed PodView.length through the validating helper, and add an alias regression. (2) perry/native type aliases are registered only when the main lowering pass reaches the import declaration. Static imports are hoisted: a valid module with type Header = pod<{ flags: u32 }>; followed by the perry/native import lowers Header as Generic(base="pod", field Named("u32")), and sizeof() fails because it is not PerryPod. Please pre-register these imports before any type extraction/pre-registration pass and add an import-after-use regression. Focused HIR tests (16/16), native_arena runtime tests (14/14), and the generated-stub test pass, but they cover only the direct/import-first path. No version bump needed.

Resolved both exact-head blockers in 021d79b79:

  • Immutable LocalGet aliases now inherit PodViewLocal provenance with their own value slot. The new emitted-IR regression asserts alias.length calls js_native_pod_view_length and does not call js_object_get_field_ic_miss.
  • A module pre-scan now registers named perry/native type and value aliases before any annotation extraction or source-order lowering. The new HIR regression uses aliased pod, u32, and sizeof before the static import declaration and verifies canonical PerryPod layout lowering.
  • The end-to-end fixture combines both cases: all aliased imports are used before declaration, and .length is read through a second immutable local.

Verification on the updated head:

  • cargo test -p perry-hir --test native_arena -- --nocapture — 17/17 passed
  • cargo test -p perry-codegen --test native_proof_regressions pod_manifest:: -- --nocapture — 9/9 passed
  • cargo test -p perry-runtime native_pod_view -- --nocapture — 2/2 passed
  • generated native stub test — passed
  • strengthened tests/test_native_value_profile.sh — passed
  • test-registration audit, shell syntax, formatting, and diff checks — passed
  • cargo build --release — passed (existing warnings only)

No version bump; PR remains open and unmerged.

Re-evaluated exact head 021d79b. The two blockers from my prior review are fixed, but merge is still blocked on two independently reproduced source-level issues:

  1. crates/perry-api-manifest/src/entries.rs adds perry/native to NATIVE_MODULES and RUNTIME_ONLY_MODULES without adding any API_MANIFEST entries. That violates the native-module strict-surface invariant and leaves namespace calls to undeclared exports permissive even under strict-unimplemented mode. The full local HIR sweep fails exactly on this semantic gap:

    • every_supported_module_rejects_bogus_member: perry/native has no entries
    • every_supported_module_rejects_bogus_call: a bogus namespace call does not error
      Please enumerate the public value exports in the manifest, or add an equivalent explicit strict gate, and retain a perry/native regression.
  2. crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/intrinsics/native_arena.rs:10-14 does not treat class bindings as shadowing the unqualified sizeof, alignof, and offsetof legacy globals. A direct fixture declaring class sizeof and then calling sizeof() lowers successfully to PodLayoutSizeOf. The printed HIR contains the user class plus args: [PodLayoutSizeOf { ... }], proving the user call was silently replaced. shadows_unqualified_global already includes lookup_class; please use that boundary and add a class-shadow regression (ideally covering all three helpers).

Positive evidence on this exact head: the hoisted perry/native alias regression passes; immutable PodView alias length uses js_native_pod_view_length; native_arena HIR integration is 17/17; codegen lib is 964/964; the POD-manifest subset is 10/10; and the public end-to-end fixture compiles, links, and runs with the expected result. No version bump is needed. I have not merged this head.

Resolved both blockers from the review of 021d79b79 in d85e1c76b:

  • perry/native now has manifest entries for every public value export: intrinsic sizeof, alignof, and offsetof, plus runtime-backed NativeArena. This restores the native-module strict-surface invariant, makes both all-module bogus member/call sweeps pass, and regenerates the API reference artifacts.
  • POD layout intrinsic shadowing now uses shadows_unqualified_global, so class bindings are included alongside locals, functions, and imports. The regression covers classes named sizeof, alignof, and offsetof and proves none lower to a PodLayout* node.

Verification on exact head d85e1c76b:

  • cargo test -p perry-codegen --test manifest_consistency — 5/5 passed
  • cargo test -p perry-hir --test unimplemented_api_check — 15/15 passed, including both full native-module sweeps
  • cargo test -p perry-hir --test native_arena — 18/18 passed
  • cargo test -p perry-api-manifest --lib --quiet — 38/38 passed
  • cargo test -p perry-codegen --lib --quiet — 964/964 passed
  • strengthened tests/test_native_value_profile.sh — passed
  • scripts/regen_api_docs.sh — passed and idempotent
  • test-registration audit, formatting, diff checks, and optimized release build — passed

No version bump; PR remains open and unmerged.

Re-audited exact head d85e1c7 independently of CI. The two blockers from my prior review are resolved: perry/native now enumerates every public value export in the manifest and passes the strict unknown-member/call sweeps; POD layout helpers now use the canonical shadows_unqualified_global predicate and the class-shadow regressions lower as ordinary calls. The earlier import-hoisting and immutable PodView alias fixes also remain intact. Independent exact-head validation passed: 38 api-manifest tests, 15 strict-surface tests, 18 native-arena HIR tests, 5 manifest-consistency tests, all 964 codegen unit tests, 9 POD/provenance regressions, 2 native PodView runtime tests, the generated native stub test, the executable native-value-profile fixture, test registration, formatting, generated API docs idempotence, diff checks, and a clean merge-tree against current main. Existing warnings only. No version bump needed. I found no remaining source-level blocker and consider this head mergeable.
