From 7ea276212b5c0d407ebafa6fe3093ac31957aebf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ASDAlexander77 Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 23:39:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/99] Add reference-counting-vs-GC evaluation; bump pre-alpha tag to 81 Evaluates reference counting as a selectable memory model alongside Boehm GC for compiled TypeScript output. Covers what today's GC integration relies on, the ABI/mixed-linking risk of a per-module memory-model choice, cycle handling as an opt-in tradeoff, and a staged implementation order starting with a mode-neutral object header change.

What changes is who bears the risk, and that the + work can ship in stages behind a flag instead of landing complete. +3. **The permanent cost is two memory models in MLIRGen forever.** Not a one-time build + cost — a standing tax on every future language feature. That is the real thing to + weigh, and it is a judgment about project capacity, not a technical blocker. + +--- + +## 1. What the GC integration actually is today + +This matters because the current design is what makes the option look cheap when it is not. + +GC is wired in by **name substitution at the very end of the pipeline**. Nothing in +the IR, the type system, or MLIRGen knows a collector exists. + +| Piece | Location | Role | +| --- | --- | --- | +| `GCPass` | `lib/TypeScript/GCPass.cpp` (274 lines) | Runs *after* `LowerToLLVMPass`. Renames `malloc`/`calloc`/`realloc`/`free`/`aligned_alloc` to `GC_malloc`/`GC_malloc_atomic`/`GC_realloc`/`GC_free`/`GC_memalign`; injects `GC_init()`; attaches `allockind("alloc")` so `-O3` GVN does not CSE two allocations into one; drops the `memset` after `GC_malloc`. | +| Allocation funnel | `LLVMCodeHelperBase.h:253` `_MemoryAlloc` | Every heap allocation in the compiler goes through here and emits a plain `malloc` call. **Twelve** call sites total. | +| Typed heap | `MLIRGenClasses.cpp:1322` `mlirGenClassTypeBitmap` | Emits a per-class pointer/non-pointer bitmap, cached in a global, fed to `GC_make_descriptor` / `GC_malloc_explicitly_typed`. | +| Pipeline order | `tslang/transform.cpp:161` | `GCPass` is the last pass, gated on `!disableGC`. | + +The consequence for an *option*: GC's selectability is nearly free because GC needs no +program knowledge, so its entire branch point is one late pass. RC needs the most program +knowledge of anything in the compiler and must branch in MLIRGen, before lowering discards +type and ownership information. **The two models cannot be made selectable at the same +place in the pipeline.** That asymmetry is what the rest of this document is about. + +### 1.1 The option mechanism already exists + +`CompileOptions` (`include/TypeScript/DataStructs.h`) is a plain struct threaded through +MLIRGen, both lowering passes, and `GCPass`. `disableGC` already rides it end to end +(`opts.cpp:45` → `transform.cpp:161`). Adding `memoryModel` is mechanically identical. + +One cleanup this should force: `-nogc` today means *leak everything* — `malloc` with no +`free`. With RC added there are three models, so the flag should become +`-mm={gc,rc,none}` with `-nogc` kept as an alias, rather than two independent booleans +that can contradict each other. + +## 2. What already exists to build on + +Four assets. They are why a staged approach is viable rather than a standing start. + +- **Pointer-layout metadata per class.** `mlirGenClassTypeBitmap` already computes which + fields of a class are pointers, by generating code that takes field addresses off a null + base. Today it produces a Boehm descriptor word; the same data is exactly what a + recursive release routine needs. +- **A scope-exit walker.** `mlirGenDisposable` (`MLIRGenImpl.h:511`) already walks out of + scopes calling `Symbol.dispose` on `using` variables, with `CurrentScope` / `LoopScope` / + `FullStack` depth semantics for `break`/`continue`/`return`. That is the shape release + calls need. +- **RC precedent in-pipeline.** `transform.cpp:142` already runs MLIR's + `createAsyncRuntimeRefCountingPass()` (plus its `Opt` variant under `-O`). Liveness-based + automatic RC on async values runs in this compiler today. The technique is proven here. +- **A test-runner pattern for option variants.** `-fast-math` tests already get their own + cached script names (`jitfm` / `compilefm`) because the plain `jit`/`compile` scripts are + shared across parallel single-file tests and embed the flag string at creation time + (`test-runner.cpp:85-108`). `-mm=rc` reuses that pattern directly. + +## 3. What RC requires that does not exist + +Six gaps. **The option framing reduces none of them** — each is still required in full +before `-mm=rc` produces a correct program. Ordered roughly by cost. + +### 3.1 Object headers (the ABI decision, see §4) + +Nothing on the heap has a header. There is nowhere to put a count. + +- `string` lowers to a bare pointer (`LowerToLLVM.cpp:6101`) and is handed **straight to + libc**: `strlen` (`:485`, `:572`), `strcpy`/`strcat` (`:573`, `:574`), `strcmp` + (`:635`, `:849`, `:895`, `:1004`), `puts` (`:164`). A header can live *before* the + returned pointer so libc still works, but every release site must then recover + `ptr - sizeof(header)`, and every pointer from elsewhere must not. +- `array` lowers to a by-value `{dataPtr, length}` struct (`LowerToLLVM.cpp:6115`). +- A class instance is a raw pointer to its storage struct, field 0 being the vtable. + +### 3.2 Literal-versus-heap discrimination + +String literals and const arrays are LLVM globals, not heap blocks, but they flow into the +same SSA values as heap results: + +```ts +let s = cond ? "literal" : a + b; // sometimes a global, sometimes heap +``` + +Releasing a global is a crash. Needs a saturating "immortal" count the globals also carry, +or a pointer tag. Boehm needs neither — it ignores addresses outside its heap. + +### 3.3 An ownership model in MLIRGen + +The bulk of the work, with no shortcut. Values are plain `mlir::Value` with no +owned/borrowed distinction. Retain and release decisions are needed at every assignment, +field store, element store, argument pass, return, capture, and box-into-`any`, across the +largest and most intricate part of the codebase. + +**This is also where the two models permanently diverge.** GC mode needs none of it. Every +future language feature has to be correct under both. + +### 3.4 Type-erased release + +`any` boxes as `{size, typeNamePtr, payload}` (`AnyLogic.h:48`) where the type tag is a +**type-name string**, under a standing `// TODO: add type id to track data type`. To +release an `any`'s payload you must know whether it holds a pointer and which routine +frees it. There is no id-to-release-function table. Tagged unions have the same problem. + +### 3.5 Cleanup landing pads + +`ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS` is on. Every throw path must release the live owned values in each +frame it unwinds. Existing landing pads (`LowerToLLVM.cpp:4402`) do catch dispatch only. +This is the classic source of RC bugs that surface only under exceptions. + +### 3.6 Interior references + +`BoundRefType` lowers to `{ptr, ptr}` and `GetReferenceFromValue` hands out references to +object *fields*. An interior reference must keep its owner alive. Boehm handles this free +via interior-pointer scanning; RC would need those values widened to carry and retain the +owner. + +## 4. The new central problem: two models in one link + +This risk **does not exist under the replacement framing** and is the single most important +finding of the revision. + +There are 72 cross-module tests (`import_*` / `export_*`), and heap objects cross module +boundaries in both directions: a consumer allocates instances of an imported class through +its own synthesized `.new`, while an exporting module's own code allocates objects the +consumer then holds and mutates. The declaration mechanism is source-text re-print and +re-parse (`declExports`, `MLIRGenImpl.h:11304`), so **each side compiles its own view under +its own `CompileOptions`.** + +Nothing today prevents a GC-built shared library from being linked against an RC-built +consumer. If RC adds a header and GC does not, then: + +- RC-side code computes `ptr - sizeof(header)` on an object a GC-built module allocated + without one, and decrements whatever precedes it in the heap. +- GC-side code hands out objects that RC-side scope exits will release and free. + +Both are **silent memory corruption**, not a link error. Given how much of this project's +recent history is cross-module work, this would be a persistent, hard-to-diagnose class of +bug. + +There are exactly two acceptable answers, and the choice must be made before any code is +written because it is not retrofittable: + +**(a) Emit the header in both modes — recommended.** GC builds pay one word per heap object +and ignore it. The ABI becomes uniform, mixed linking is safe, and the ABI change lands and +is tested *under GC*, where a wrong count is harmless. This also makes §3.1 a mode-neutral +change that can ship long before any RC semantics exist. + +**(b) Forbid mixed linking and fail loudly.** Emit a memory-model marker into `declExports` +(it is text and re-parsed, so this is cheap) and additionally reference a mode-specific +sentinel symbol so a mismatch fails at link time rather than at runtime. + +Doing neither is the worst outcome. (a) and (b) are not exclusive; (a) plus the marker from +(b) is the strongest position. + +## 5. Cycles: a blocker under replacement, a documented tradeoff as an option + +Plain RC leaks cycles, and here the cycles are not exotic: + +- **Recursive closures are a compiler-generated cycle.** Capture records are heap allocated + (`LowerToAffineLoops.cpp:2106`, `ALLOC_CAPTURE_IN_HEAP`) and hold the captured values. A + self-referential arrow function stores its own `HybridFunction` `{funcPtr, captureBoxPtr}` + *into the very box that pointer names*. The compiler emits this, not an unusual program. +- Ordinary user cycles: `class Node { parent: Node; children: Node[] }`, a generator holding + `this` while `this` holds the generator, mutually referencing objects. + +Of the 453 tests in `test/tester/tests`: 159 use classes, 86 use arrow functions, 22 use +generators. + +**As an option this is acceptable and has direct precedent.** Swift ships ARC as its only +model and leaks cycles by design, mitigated by `weak`/`unowned` and documentation. Here GC +remains the default, so a user selecting `-mm=rc` is making the same informed trade Swift +users make, and the safe model is one flag away. What this requires is honesty rather than +a solution: + +- Document cycle leakage as a defined property of the mode, not a bug. +- Decide whether to add a weak-reference annotation. TypeScript has no surface syntax for + it, so this is a language extension and should be a separate decision, not a prerequisite. +- A trial-deletion cycle collector (Bacon-Rajan) remains available later and is a second + collector. As an *option* that is at least coherent, where under replacement it defeated + the purpose. + +*Not* a cycle, worth recording because it looks like one: object-literal method fields +store an **unbound** function pointer. `getEffectiveFunctionTypeForTupleField` +(`MLIRCodeLogic.h:158`) strips the bound-ness for storage, and `this` is re-bound at load +time (`LowerToLLVM.cpp:5157`). A method-bearing object does not hold a pointer to itself. + +## 6. Standing costs of carrying two models + +Distinct from build cost. These do not end when the feature ships. + +| Cost | Detail | +| --- | --- | +| **MLIRGen carries two models** | Every future language feature must be correct under both, or explicitly unsupported under RC. Given this project's cadence of interface/generator/cross-module fixes, this compounds indefinitely. | +| **Test matrix roughly doubles** | 453 tests, for whatever subset RC claims to support. The `jitfm`/`compilefm` pattern (`test-runner.cpp:85-108`) extends to `jitrc`/`compilerc`, so the mechanism exists; the CI time is the cost. | +| **Mixed-link surface** | Permanent, per §4, unless the uniform-header answer is taken. | +| **Flag surface** | `-mm={gc,rc,none}` must be coherent across JIT, executable, DLL and shared-import paths, all of which read `CompileOptions` independently. | + +## 7. Performance is not the argument + +The honest case for RC is **determinism and memory footprint**, not throughput. A naive +implementation puts a retain/release on every array fat-pointer copy and every string +assignment — and strings are the highest-churn allocation in the compiler, since every +concat and every number-to-string allocates. Non-atomic counts are cheap, but +`ENABLE_ASYNC` is on, so any value crossing a coroutine suspension point needs atomics or a +thread-confinement proof that does not exist today. + +## 8. Cost by tier + +Tiers A and B are mode-neutral and improve the GC default immediately. C and D are the RC +option proper. + +| Tier | Scope | Size | Effect | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| A | Escape analysis: promote non-escaping `MemoryAlloc` to `alloca` | small | Pure win, both modes | +| H | Uniform object header in both modes (§4a) | medium | Mode-neutral; unblocks everything below | +| B | Extend `mlirGenDisposable` to free provably scope-bound temporaries | small | Pure win | +| C | `-mm=rc` supporting `string` only, other types still GC-allocated | medium | Shippable increment | +| D | `-mm=rc` across the heap | multi-month | Leaks cycles, by documented design | +| D+ | D plus a cycle collector | D plus a second collector | Parity with GC | + +Tier A is worth more under RC than under GC: every heap object elided is retain/release +traffic elided, not merely collector pressure. + +## 9. Recommended order + +The ordering point: **steps 1-4 are useful on their own, land under GC where mistakes are +harmless, and commit to nothing.** Step 5 is the commitment. + +1. **Settle the ABI question (§4)** and write it down. Nothing else should start first. +2. **Uniform object header in both modes**, GC still running. A wrong count is inert here, + which makes the widest-blast-radius change the safest to land and the easiest to test. + Add the memory-model marker to `declExports` at the same time. **Split this in two — see + §9.1, the halves are not equally hard.** + +### 9.1 The header has two allocation paths, and only one is easy + +This is the detail that decides how big step 2 is. + +**Path 1 — the generic helpers (easy).** `_MemoryAlloc`, `_MemoryRealloc` and `_MemoryFree` +all live in `LLVMCodeHelperBase.h:253/300/330`. Eleven of the twelve allocation sites route +through them, and so does the single `free` site (`DeleteOpLowering`, `LowerToLLVM.cpp:3022`, +the `delete` operator). Prepending a word means: allocate `size + H` and return `ptr + H`; +pass `ptr - H` on realloc and free. **Everything else is unaffected**, because every other +consumer — `strlen`, `strcpy`, `strcat`, `strcmp`, GEPs, the array `{ptr,len}` pair — operates +on the payload pointer and never sees the block base. Under GC the word is never read, so the +change is inert and the existing suite is a complete oracle. This is one file and three +functions. + +**Path 2 — the typed-GC class path (the hard half).** `GCNewExplicitlyTypedOpLowering` +(`LowerToLLVM.cpp:5879`) does **not** go through those helpers. It calls +`GC_malloc_explicitly_typed(sizeof(storageType), typeDescr)` directly. And the descriptor +collides with a header: `mlirGenClassTypeBitmap` computes each bit index as *field address off +a null base, divided by word size* (`MLIRGenClasses.cpp:1400-1420`), so bit positions are +**object-base-relative**. Prepend a header and the object base no longer coincides with the +block base Boehm scans, so every bit in the descriptor is off by `H/wordsize`. Boehm then +traces the wrong words — silent false retention or, worse, premature collection of live +objects, under the *default* configuration. + +So path 2 requires shifting every bitmap bit by the header size and reserving the leading +word as non-pointer, and it perturbs machinery that is live and load-bearing today. Land +path 1 first and alone; treat path 2 as its own change with its own verification. +3. **Real type ids in `any`/union boxes**, replacing the type-name string (§3.4). + Independently useful — `any` comparison already pays for stringly-typed tags. +4. **Generate per-type release routines** from the existing bitmap machinery, initially + unreferenced and verifiable in isolation. +5. **Ownership tracking in MLIRGen behind `-mm=rc`**, checked by a verifier that flags any + owned value without a matching release on every path, unwind paths included. *Point of + no return.* +6. **Flip the allocator under the flag.** GC stays the default. + +**Scope the first shipping mode narrowly.** Two candidates, and they are compatible: + +- **`string` only (Tier C).** Strings are leaves — a string never points to another heap + object, so release is a single free with no recursive traversal and **no cycle is + representable**. Strings are also the highest allocation-rate type. Highest benefit, zero + cycle risk, bounded blast radius. +- **WASM target.** The strongest driver for RC existing at all. WASM is the one environment + where conservative native-stack scanning is unavailable, which is the assumption Boehm + rests on (`docs/llvm-gc-integration.md`), and the compiler already forks its allocation + path there (`ts_malloc`/`ts_realloc`/`ts_free`, `LLVMCodeHelperBase.h:265/312/340`, patched + back by `MemAllocFixPass.cpp`). Scoping the first RC mode to WASM rides a split that + already exists. + +The other drivers that would justify Tier D: hard real-time latency budgets, and shipping +without a runtime dependency on libgc.

The word is never read: this establishes the block layout a reference-counting memory model would need, while GC remains the only model and the header stays inert. Keeping the layout identical across memory models is what would make a GC-built module and an RC-built module safe to link together, which is the one decision in that work that cannot be retrofitted. See docs/reference-counting-evaluation.md sections 4 and 9.1. The typed-class path (GC_malloc_explicitly_typed) is deliberately left alone: its Boehm descriptor indexes bits relative to the object base, so moving the base without shifting the generated bitmap would make the collector trace the wrong words. Zeroing now covers the whole padded block rather than just the payload, which keeps the memset's first operand the allocation call itself so GCPass::removeRedundantMemSet still recognises and drops it. Full release test suite passes, including the array push/splice, string mutation and delete paths that exercise all three modified helpers.

A name is not enough to dispatch on: every class reports "class", so it erases exactly the distinction a per-type routine would need. The tag cannot simply stop being a string, though - it *is* the `typeof` result. GetTypeInfoFromUnionOp hands it straight to `typeof`, MLIRGen strcmp's it against "class" to implement `instanceof` over `any`, and the generated union operator helpers compare `typeof(r) == "class"` in source text. So the record moves in front of the tag instead. Each distinct type gets one static { { i32 kind, i32 reserved, ptr release }, [N x i8] name } and the tag is the address of `name`. Existing consumers keep reading a NUL-terminated type name unchanged; anything wanting the record takes `tag - sizeof(record)`, which folds to a constant GEP. The trailing name is a byte array, so it is never padded and that offset is the record size on every target - the same header-in-front-of-payload shape as the heap block header. Descriptors are keyed by the concrete type rather than the name, so two classes get two records. typeOfBaseType strips the wrappers typeOfAsString already sees through, keeping one "string" record instead of one per string literal type. Falling out of it: asking whether an `any` operand is numeric ran nine strcmps per operand, because typeOfAsString reports "s32"/"f64" and only says "number" for float-typed values. That is now one load and one compare, and it covers every numeric width rather than the nine that were spelled out. The width dispatch in unboxNumericAsF64 stays name-based, since the kind says "numeric" and the width is what decides how many bytes to read back. TYPE_DESCR_* is a cross-module contract even though the records have internal linkage, because a tag produced by one module is read back by another. The release slot is reserved now for that reason, not because anything calls it. Full release suite green: 829/829, including 106 cross-module tests.

Nothing calls them; the descriptor reference is also what keeps them from being dead-stripped. The plan said "from the existing bitmap machinery", but that machinery was the unsound generator already retired for computing a pointer layout at run time - which is where all three of its defects came from. A type's pointer layout is knowable at compile time, so these are emitted as straight-line code with the offsets baked in. A routine takes a pointer to the storage holding a value rather than the value, which is uniform across value categories and makes releasing a field a GEP plus a call. string frees its block; array loops its length calling E's routine then frees the data block; a class or object releases its storage fields then frees the instance; a tuple releases fields and frees nothing, because its storage belongs to whoever holds it. "any" and tagged unions read the release routine out of the descriptor their tag points into, so a value whose type is only known at run time still resolves to one. That is what the previous commit was for. Recursion works because the symbol exists before its body is built, so `class Node { next: Node }` emits a routine that calls itself. Interfaces, function types, RefType and const data are deliberately left with a null slot, which says "nothing to release" rather than "unknown"; each reason is recorded at needsRelease. Writing the string routine surfaced a prerequisite that reorders the plan: a string literal compiles to `store ptr @s_..., ...`, so a `string` field can hold a pointer into a read-only global that no allocator produced, and freeing it would corrupt the heap. Static strings need the same block header with an immortal marker before strings can be released - which is exactly the first shipping scope the evaluation recommends. Added as step 4a; not done here, since it touches every string literal on a hot path. Full release suite green: 829/829.

Nothing at run time could tell them apart, which is what stopped the previous commit's string release routine from being callable - freeing `@s_... - headerSize` corrupts the heap. Every global string now carries the same header word, set to HEAP_BLOCK_IMMORTAL, and __tslang_free_block skips a block that says it is immortal. The marker is all-ones bytes, so it reads as -1 whatever the word size or endianness, and the global stays a plain [N x i8] with a StringAttr initializer - no initializer region, and the existing seekLast placement still works. Aligned to the header size so the word can be read as a word. Deliberately not zero, which is what a fresh heap block reads. Every global string gets it, not only the ones that could be released. Deciding per call site which getOrCreateGlobalString produces a TypeScript string rather than a printf format or a symbol name would be an audit whose failure mode is silent corruption, in exchange for eight bytes per constant. The "true"/"false" globals a boolean cast returns are a good example of a site that does not look like a string value but is one. That surfaced a second hole. `typeof x` returns a pointer into a type descriptor, and `let s: string = typeof x` is ordinary TypeScript, so a tag is a releasable string too - but the descriptor's name had only the release field in front of it, which would have read as a very mortal-looking count. The record now ends with the block header, immediately before the name, so both reads work off the same pointer: `tag - sizeof(header)` is the marker, `tag - sizeof(record)` the record. Nothing writes the header on allocation, because nothing maintains a count yet, so the test is meaningful for static blocks and says nothing useful about heap ones. That half belongs with maintaining the count. The static half is separated out here because it is the half that changes an ABI and so cannot be retrofitted. Full release suite green: 829/829.

A shared library now records the model it was built under as an exported data symbol __tsmm___. The model is in the name, so an importer reads it during the symbol enumeration it already performs and never loads the data. Deliberately not __decls-prefixed, so it can never reach the declaration re-parser, whose enumeration is prefix-driven. A library with no marker predates this and everything collected back then, so a missing marker reads as gc. Both spellings come from one memoryModelName(), so the -mm= flag and the marker cannot disagree about what a model is called. On a mismatch the import is allowed and warns, which is the agreed policy: leak what crosses rather than free it twice. Verified end to end - a DLL built -mm=gc carries __tsmm_gc_export_vars_, importing it -mm=gc is silent, importing it -mm=rc reports both models and still runs. Nothing marks crossing objects immortal yet; that lands with ownership insertion, and until a release actually frees, a mixed link is harmless. The mismatch path has no automated test, since the 106 cross-module tests all build both sides the same way and giving the runner a per-side model is more plumbing than one warning is worth - the marker's presence is covered by all of them, which is the part that could break something. The doc also settles weak references, on paper, because the header layout they imply is ABI. Spelling them WeakRef with .deref() reuses the type JavaScript already has, so no parser change and no new syntax, and the semantics come out stronger than JS's in a compatible way: undefined exactly when the last strong reference went. The objection to storing a weak count - that a uniform header would force it on gc builds too - dissolves once the header grows downwards: strong sits immediately before the payload in every model, weak before that and only under rc. Strong is the only field a cross-model write touches, so uniformity is preserved where it is needed and gc builds keep their single word. Full release suite green: 847/847.

Avoiding a per-model default lib is what the +allow-and-leak policy bought — this is the price of it, and it means `-mm=rc` will not be +leak-free for real programs until the default lib can be built per model. + +### 9.8 Weak references: `WeakRef` + +The decision on cycles is **weak references in the language**, rather than leak-and-document. +This section settles their representation, because it is ABI-shaped and this arc has been +sequenced around making those decisions before writing code. + +#### Surface: `WeakRef`, not a `weak` keyword + +JavaScript already has `WeakRef` with `.deref(): T | undefined` (lib.es2021.weakref). Using +that spelling costs no change to the vendored `ts-new-parser`, rides the generics machinery that +is already cross-module-complete, and is a shape TypeScript programmers know. + +The semantics come out *stronger* than JavaScript's, compatibly: `deref()` returns undefined +exactly when the last strong reference went, deterministically, rather than "whenever the +collector felt like it". Under `-mm=gc` it can be backed by a plain strong reference that never +returns undefined — a legal implementation of the JS contract, and one that keeps both models +working. `WeakMap`/`WeakSet` are out of scope. + +#### Representation: a weak count, and where to put it + +Something has to outlive the object to answer "is it dead". Three ways: a weak count beside the +strong one, a side table keyed by address, or a per-object indirection cell (which needs a +header slot or a table to be found, so it collapses into one of the other two). + +The objection to a weak count was that §9.5's uniform-header requirement would force it on +`-mm=gc` builds too — doubling a header that is already dead weight there. **That objection +dissolves once the header grows downwards.** Put the strong count immediately before the +payload and the weak count before *that*: + +``` + [ weak ] [ strong ] | payload + ^ the pointer everything holds +``` + +`strong` is at `payload - wordSize` in **every** model. That is the only field a cross-model +write touches — marking a foreign object immortal — so the uniformity §9.7 needs is preserved +while `weak` exists only under `-mm=rc`. GC builds keep the single word they have today. + +This does split one constant in two: the *block* size, used for allocation and free, and the +*strong offset*, used by the count operations. `getBlockPtrFromPayloadPtr` currently serves +both, and the count paths would move to the strong offset. + +Taking a weak reference to an immortal object — a string literal, or anything from a +differently-managed module — never touches the weak word: immortal means never dies, so the +reference is trivially always valid. That keeps a `-mm=rc` module from reading a second header +word that a `-mm=gc` module never wrote. + +#### Lifecycle + +Strong zero destroys, weak zero frees. When the last strong reference goes, the fields are +released as they are today, but the block itself survives while any weak reference remains — a +tombstone, distinguished by `strong == 0 && weak > 0`. `deref()` checks `strong > 0`, and if so +increments it and returns the object, so the referent cannot die between the check and the use. + +`WeakRef` is itself an owned type with its own release routine — decrement `weak`, free the +block if both counts are zero — which makes it one more shape for `ReleaseRoutineLogic` rather +than anything new. + +None of the count operations are atomic. That matches the rest of the compiler today and should +be revisited with threading, not before. + +#### What this does not solve + +An accidental cycle still leaks silently; weak references let a programmer break one they know +about. The natural follow-on is a debug-mode leak report at exit — every block whose strong +count never reached zero — which is cheap once counts are maintained, and is a far better answer +than a cycle collector for a language whose users can switch to `-mm=gc` with one flag. diff --git a/tslang/include/TypeScript/Defines.h b/tslang/include/TypeScript/Defines.h index 22570f3c0..a2b49c882 100644 --- a/tslang/include/TypeScript/Defines.h +++ b/tslang/include/TypeScript/Defines.h @@ -64,6 +64,15 @@ #define SHARED_LIB_DECLARATIONS_FILENAME "__decls.ts" #define SHARED_LIB_DECLARATIONS_2UNDERSCORE "__decls" #define SHARED_LIB_DECLARATIONS "___decls" +// A shared library records the memory model it was built under as an exported data symbol +// named "__tsmm___" - the model is in the NAME, so an importer reads it by +// enumerating symbols and never has to load the data.

Nothing emits either op yet, so this is inert. The ops erase under any model that is not reference counting. That is the decision the rest follows from, and it is what makes "RC is an option" hold in the code rather than as an aspiration: MLIRGen can state ownership once, unconditionally, with no isRefCounted() branching through it, and the lowering decides whether it costs anything. It also reshapes the risk of the step after this one. Ownership insertion is where a mistake stops being inert - a missing retain frees live memory, an extra one leaks - but a misplaced op is erased in a collected build. The ~830 GC tests are therefore structurally immune to insertion bugs rather than merely expected to pass, and only the 17 -mm=rc tests can break. Retain is not the mirror image of release, and that asymmetry is the whole difficulty. Retaining a reference stops at the block it names: a second reference to an object does not duplicate that object's own references to its fields. Release does walk the fields, but only inside emitIfLastReference - only when the block is about to die and its fields' references die with it. What propagates a retain inwards is a value held inline - a tuple, an optional, a tagged union - because copying one really does duplicate every reference it holds. Backwards in either direction leaks or double-frees, and neither shows up until a count is wrong much later, so the two builders sit next to each other with the reasoning written between them. ReleaseRoutineLogic became OwnershipRoutineLogic for that reason. __tslang_inc_ref skips an immortal block, which is not an optimisation: incrementing all-ones gives zero, and the next release would read that as the last reference and free a string literal. The descriptor record grew a retain slot beside the release one, for the same reason the release slot exists - a tagged union carries its payload inline, so copying one has to retain a value whose type is only known at run time. The block header stays last, immediately in front of the name bytes, so a tag still reads as an immortal string payload; the name moved from offset 24 to 32. Verified by reading the emitted IR under both models: a retain routine loads the reference and calls __tslang_inc_ref with no field walk, so the asymmetry holds in the generated code and not only in intent. Temporarily emitting both ops at the delete site produced tsretv_/tsrelv_ calls under -mm=rc and nothing at all under -mm=gc, where only GC_free remains; the hook was then reverted.

A local variable declaration whose type owns heap memory takes a reference when it is declared and gives it back at every exit from its scope - the block's end, a return from anywhere inside it, a break or continue that leaves it. Assigning through such a local hands the count over: the incoming value gains this scope as an owner and the outgoing one loses it. MLIRGen never asks which memory model is in force. It emits ts.RetainSlot / ts.ReleaseSlot and the lowering decides, so a collected build shows no trace of any of this - verified by reading the emitted LLVM for the same file under both models, where the gc output is instruction-for-instruction what it was before. That is what the new slot-addressed pair buys over the value-addressed ts.Retain/ts.Release: the slot form erases whole, taking the access with it, where a value-taking release would have needed a load kept alive under a collector just to have an operand. Balanced by construction, which is the property that makes this safe to land first. The reference an allocation is born with is never given up here, so every release is paired with a retain this step emitted and nothing can be freed early. What it can do is leak, and under -mm=rc the collector is still what reclaims, so the leak is inert. That direction is deliberate: an over-release is a use-after-free surfacing far from its cause, and a leak is not. Removing the slack - consuming the +1 when the initialiser is a fresh allocation, retaining on field and element stores, releasing temporaries - is later work, and each piece is a separate decision. A local is not made an owner when the frame borrows the reference rather than owning it: globals, parameters, captured variables held in the `this` context, const bindings with no storage, and declarations with no initialiser. That last one is the single bug this step produced. A `catch (v: string)` variable is declared like any other let but written by the landing pad, so retaining at the declaration read an uninitialised slot as a live reference and trapped. It was the only failure out of 849, which is exactly the blast radius the erasure rule predicts - the collected tests cannot be broken by where these ops land, only the counted ones can. The unwind leg deliberately skips the releases: an owned local's storage is allocated inside the TryOp body region, which does not dominate the cleanup region, so a release there would not verify. Disposal still runs there. Fixing the leak means hoisting owned storage the way allocateUsingVarsOutsideOfOperation already hoists `using` variables, and belongs with the verifier. Hooks into three points that already existed: takeOwnershipOfLocal beside where usingVars is collected; mlirGenScopeExit wrapping mlirGenDisposable and the new mlirGenReleaseOwned, so all eleven existing scope-exit call sites got the releases for free - disposal first, since a disposable is still usable while its [Symbol.dispose]() runs; and mlirGenSaveLogicOneItem, the single choke point every assignment form passes through, where retaining before releasing is what makes `x = x` safe. ownsHeapMemory moves from OwnershipRoutineLogic to MLIRTypeHelper so both sides ask one function - the two disagreeing about which types own memory would place retains that never pair with a release, which is the failure mode with no local symptom. New test: test/tester/tests/00owned_locals.ts, run under all three models. Beyond one local of each owning shape it covers the paths that reach a slot without going through an assignment expression, since that is where a missing retain would turn into a release of a reference nobody took: for-of bindings, destructured declarations and destructured assignment, a captured local, break/continue out of a loop, a return out of a nested block, and returning a value the caller is about to own. A 2000-iteration churn loop makes an early free likely to be handed straight back out rather than silently tolerated. Full release suite green: 852/852 (849 existing + 3 new).

Fixing it means hoisting owned storage out of +the operation the way `using` variables already are (`allocateUsingVarsOutsideOfOperation`) — +tractable, and left for the step that also brings the verifier. + +**Where it hooks in.** Three points, all of them ones that already existed: + +- `takeOwnershipOfLocal` (`MLIRGenVariables.cpp`), called from `registerVariable` right where + `usingVars` is collected, marks the storage with `__owned` and emits the retain. +- `mlirGenScopeExit` (`MLIRGenImpl.h`) wraps `mlirGenDisposable` and the new + `mlirGenReleaseOwned`, so all eleven existing scope-exit call sites — block end, `return`, + `break`, `continue`, try body — got the releases for free. Disposal runs first: a disposable + is still usable while its `[Symbol.dispose]()` runs, and dropping the last reference first + could have freed it. +- `mlirGenSaveLogicOneItem` (`MLIRGenImpl.h`) is the single choke point every assignment form + passes through — plain, compound and destructuring alike. Retain-then-release, in that + order, is what makes `x = x` safe: releasing first could drop the last reference and free the + value about to be stored back. + +`ownsHeapMemory` moved from `OwnershipRoutineLogic` to `MLIRTypeHelper` so that both sides ask +one function. The two disagreeing about which types own memory would place retains that never +pair with a release, which is the failure mode with no local symptom. + +**Coverage.** `test/tester/tests/00owned_locals.ts`, run under all three models +(`test-compile-00-owned-locals`, `test-jit-00-owned-locals`, `test-jit-rc-owned-locals`). +Beyond one local of each owning shape, it covers the paths that reach a slot *without* going +through an assignment expression, since that is where a missing retain would turn into a +release of a reference nobody took: `for…of` bindings, destructured declarations and +destructured assignment (`[a, b] = [b, a]`), a captured local, `break`/`continue` out of a +loop, a `return` out of a nested block, and returning a value the caller is about to own. A +2000-iteration churn loop makes an early free likely to be handed straight back out rather than +silently tolerated. diff --git a/tslang/include/TypeScript/Defines.h b/tslang/include/TypeScript/Defines.h index 22d5e390f..58b3b7610 100644 --- a/tslang/include/TypeScript/Defines.h +++ b/tslang/include/TypeScript/Defines.h @@ -11,6 +11,11 @@ #define NONTEMPORAL_ATTR_NAME "__nontemporal" #define INVARIANT_ATTR_NAME "__invariant" #define INSTANCES_COUNT_ATTR_NAME "InstancesCount" +// Marks a local's storage as holding a reference the scope owns, so that assigning through it +// hands the count over rather than dropping a reference nobody took.

But all four were observed before that same change's own unwindDests fix landed - the cleanup-only TryOp pushing a null Block * - and that one fix turned out to be the cause of more of them than the notes credited. Re-running every guarded shape against the current build: a `using` in an if-block, in a loop body, two scopes deep, and one sharing its function with a `return` all dispose correctly on the way out now, where before the dispose was silently skipped. Nested TryOps, recorded as crashing LLVM translation, compose fine - try/catch inside try/catch, and a synthesized cleanup inside a hand-written try, both verified. So blockIsFunctionRootBody and blockHasReturn are gone. Dropping the root-body condition is the one that matters: synthesis is no longer confined to a function's own top-level body, which is what makes the four shapes above work. blockUsingInitializersAreAllNewExpr and blockHasNestedUsing stay, and each was confirmed individually necessary by dropping it alone and rebuilding rather than inferred from a combined result: without the first an object-literal disposable fails the build, without the second an outer `using` whose block also holds a nested `using` scope segfaults the compiler. Their comments now say what was reproduced instead of what was inferred. The gate was made maskable by an environment variable for the duration of the experiment, so one build could test all sixteen combinations. Removed before this commit. Also found, and not fixed: throwing from inside a catch clause crashes the LLVM backend. Reduced to `try { throw 1; } catch (e: int) { throw 2; }` with no using, no locals and no heap types anywhere in it, so nothing in this branch is involved. Written up in the doc; no test covers rethrow-from-catch, which is why nothing caught it. New test: test/tester/tests/04disposable.ts, covering the four newly-working shapes plus the two exact-count cases that would catch a double dispose - a function that throws past a `using` on one path and returns past it on the other, and a synthesized cleanup nested inside a hand-written try.

One missing line, but the shape is worth recording. ThrowOpLowering ends with clh.CutBlock(), which drops everything after the throw in its block - including the EndCatchOp that TryOpLowering had placed just before the region's terminator. Win32ExceptionPass then finds a catch region with no end marker, picks one itself by splitting the block ahead of the throw, and emits the catchret there. The result is a catchret followed by a call still carrying "funclet"(token %catchpad), naming a funclet it has already returned from. That reaches the backend and crashes it. ReturnOpLowering, BreakOpLowering and ContinueOpLowering all emit an EndCatchOp before leaving a catch. ThrowOpLowering was the only abrupt exit that did not. It needs its own side table rather than the existing one. The other three say "I am leaving a catch" by having tsContext->unwind set; a throw cannot, because for a throw that map already means its invoke destination and the finally handling writes exactly that into it. And only when there is no finally. With one, the throw becomes an invoke into the finally block and the finally is what ends the catch - ending it at the throw as well runs it twice and breaks the unwind. 51exceptions.ts is the case that proves it, and it caught the first version of this fix. Two regressions of my own turned up while testing this, both from the same gap in coverage - no test had a declaration inside a catch clause - and both fixed here by one new predicate, blockIsInsideCatchOrFinally: - Dropping blockIsFunctionRootBody in the previous commit also stopped excluding catch and finally regions, and synthesizing a cleanup TryOp in one crashes the compiler: `catch (e: int) { using r = new Res(); }` segfaults with the wrapping and compiles without it. That commit's matrix checked nesting inside a try body and never inside a catches region. The four shapes it fixed all still work. - Under -mm=rc a release in a catch clause is a call inside a funclet, which is exactly the fragile construct below, and `catch (e: int) { let r = new Res(); }` segfaulted. Locals declared in those clauses are no longer owned: they leak, which the collector still reclaims - the trade every other exclusion there makes. 04disposable.ts now covers a `using` in a catch and in a finally, and 03/04disposable gained -mm=rc variants, which is what would have caught the ownership half. Still open, each confirmed independent of this fix: - An exception escaping a catch clause is lost under AOT, and always was. A call in a catch that throws loses it too, with no `throw` statement involved anywhere, so the gap is in the AOT exception tables rather than here; the IR is well-formed at -O0 and -O3. The new test is registered JIT-only for that reason. - A call inside a catch followed by a throw out of it crashes at run time, AOT and JIT alike. Its IR is well-formed too. - Throwing from a finally segfaults, from the same CutBlock cause - ts.BeginCleanup with no ts.EndCleanup. Not fixed: EndCleanupOp is a terminator taking a landing pad and unwind destinations rather than a marker, and the finally region is cloned once per exit path, so each copy would need its own.

Storage for a local that owns a heap reference is now hoisted out in front of the TryOp, exactly the way `using` storage already was, so it dominates the cleanup region as well as the body. The flag serving both is renamed accordingly. The decision cannot live in detectFlags with the others - it needs the variable's type, which is not known until createLocalVariable - and it goes through localTakesOwnership, shared with takeOwnershipOfLocal so the two cannot disagree: a local that is hoisted but not owned only wastes a move, but one that is owned and not hoisted puts a release in a region its slot does not dominate. A hoisted slot leaves its initialising store behind at the declaration, and the unwind edge can reach the cleanup before that store runs, so under -mm=rc it starts as null - the one value every release routine treats as nothing to do. Gated in the lowering, not in MLIRGen. The release itself still does not run on the unwind leg. Turning it on makes exactly one test fail, and the cause is a JIT-only Win64 unwind defect that predates all of this: a `using` in a try body plus a catch clause making two calls corrupts a callee-saved register in the caller. Reproduced on the parent commit under -mm=gc with no ownership involved; correct AOT and at -O0. The release raises register pressure in the cleanup funclet and pushes more programs across that line. 00try_using_catch.ts pins the shape as correct when compiled and is registered AOT-only. 859/859 green. Doc section 9.15 has the dump analysis.

This step closes the +dominance half and then stops one line short of the goal, for a reason that has nothing to do +with reference counting. + +**What landed.** Owned storage is hoisted out in front of the `TryOp`, exactly the way `using` +storage already was. `allocateUsingVarsOutsideOfOperation` is renamed +`allocateScopeOwnedVarsOutsideOfOperation` because it now serves both, and the hoist decision +for an owning local cannot be made in `detectFlags` with the rest — it needs the variable's +type, which is not known until `createLocalVariable`. Verified in the emitted LLVM: the +`alloca` moves to the function entry and the initialising store stays at the declaration, in +both memory models. Nothing else about a collected build changes. + +**One predicate, two callers.** `localTakesOwnership` is the single test for "does this +declaration make its scope the owner", shared by the hoisting decision and by +`takeOwnershipOfLocal`. They must agree: a local that is hoisted but not owned only wastes a +move, but one that is owned and *not* hoisted puts a release in a region its slot does not +dominate and the module stops verifying. This is the same lesson as moving `ownsHeapMemory` +into `MLIRTypeHelper` in §9.12 — two sides asking the same question separately is the failure +mode with no local symptom. + +**Hoisted storage starts null, under `-mm=rc` only.** A hoisted slot's initialising store stays +behind at the declaration, and the unwind edge can reach the cleanup region before that store +runs — the allocation in `let r = new Res()` is itself an `invoke` whose unwind destination is +that region. A release there would read whatever the frame happened to hold, which is precisely +how the catch-variable bug in §9.12 trapped. Null is the one value every release routine treats +as nothing to do (`emitIfLastReference` null-checks first), so `VariableOpLowering` zero-fills a +hoisted owned slot. Gated on `isRefCounted()` in the *lowering*, not in MLIRGen: no other model +reads the slot before its store, and a collected build is meant to come out of this step +byte-identical. + +#### The blocker: a JIT-only Win64 unwind defect, older than this work + +With the cleanup region calling `mlirGenScopeExit` instead of `mlirGenDisposable`, exactly one +test went red — `test-jit-rc-disposable-scopes` — and the failure is not a reference-counting +bug at all. + +Reduced, it is this, and it needs no reference counting to reproduce: + +```ts +let disposed = 0; +class Res { [Symbol.dispose]() { disposed = disposed + 1; } } +function f() { + try { using r = new Res(); throw 1; } + catch (e: TypeOf<1>) { print("a"); print("b"); } +} +function main() { disposed = 0; f(); assert(disposed == 1, "d"); print("done."); } +``` + +That program **crashes under `-mm=gc` on the commit before this one** (`--emit=jit --opt`, any +`--opt_level` above 0). Compiled AOT from the same IR it is correct. So is `-O0`. Checked by +stashing this change, rebuilding and running it: baseline crashes. + +**The symptom, from the crash dump.** `main` keeps `&disposed` in `rsi` across the call to `f`, +which is legal — `rsi` is callee-saved. On return, `rsi` has had its low 32 bits zeroed: +`0x196198300CC` comes back as `0x19600000000`, and `cmp dword ptr [rsi],1` faults. The unwind +info the JIT registers for `f` decodes cleanly and matches its prologue +(`push rbp; push rsi; sub rsp,0x48; lea rbp,[rsp+0x40]`, and unwind codes `PUSH_NONVOL rbp`, +`PUSH_NONVOL rsi`, `ALLOC_SMALL`, `SET_FPREG` in the required descending order). Something +overwrites `f`'s saved-`rsi` slot while the exception is in flight; the exact writer was not +identified. + +**Why the JIT and not AOT.** JIT'd code uses the large code model, so every call materialises a +64-bit address into a register first. That is what makes the catch funclet use `rsi` at all +(`mov rsi, ; call rsi` — two calls, so it is worth a register), which in turn is why the +parent saves `rsi`. The AOT build reaches `puts` with a `rel32` call, uses no callee-saved +register in the funclet, and never enters the broken configuration. + +**Why this step trips it.** A release in the cleanup region raises register pressure in the +cleanup funclet the same way, and the parent then saves one more callee-saved register. Several +programs that sat just on the safe side move across. This is not fixable from the ownership +side: keeping the routine a call rather than letting it inline (`noinline` on `tsrel_`/`tsret_`) +was tried and does not help, because in the large code model even a single call needs its +address in a register. + +**So the release stays off the unwind leg**, and the leak §9.12 described stays. Everything the +release needs is now in place — the storage dominates the cleanup region, the slot starts null, +the predicate is shared — and turning it on is one `mlirGenDisposable` → `mlirGenScopeExit` at +each of the two cleanup sites, marked in the source. The order of work changed as a result: the +JIT unwind defect has to be fixed before step 5 can finish, and it is worth fixing on its own +account, since it silently miscompiles ordinary `try`/`catch`-with-`using` code in the default +`--emit=jit --opt` configuration. + +New test: `test/tester/tests/00try_using_catch.ts`, registered AOT-only +(`test-compile-00-try-using-catch`) — it pins the shape above as correct when compiled, and the +JIT variant is deliberately absent because it crashes. Writing it turned up one more thing worth +recording: moving the `using` one scope deeper, into an `if` inside the try body, crashes the +*compiler* in every memory model. That is §9.11's second item — a synthesized cleanup `TryOp` +nested inside a real `TryOp`'s body — still open, and it is why the test covers only the flat +shape.

That is what makes the catch funclet use `rsi` at all -(`mov rsi, ; call rsi` — two calls, so it is worth a register), which in turn is why the -parent saves `rsi`. The AOT build reaches `puts` with a `rel32` call, uses no callee-saved -register in the funclet, and never enters the broken configuration. - -**Why this step trips it.** A release in the cleanup region raises register pressure in the -cleanup funclet the same way, and the parent then saves one more callee-saved register.

The CRT copies exactly that many bytes into the catch variable's frame slot, so catching a +4-byte `int` wrote 8 and clobbered whatever sat above the slot. The symbol name we emit had been +saying so all along: `_CT??_R0H@8` **4** — the trailing digit is the size, and it disagreed with +the record it named. + +**Why it hid for so long.** What sits above the catch slot is a question of frame layout. Ahead +of time it was padding, so the overflow was invisible. The JIT compiles with the **large code +model**, where every call materialises a 64-bit address into a register; that pressure makes a +catch funclet use a callee-saved register, which makes the parent save it, which puts a saved +register exactly where the overflow lands. Hence: JIT-only in practice, sensitive to unrelated +code changes, and not reproducible with clang — clang emits `4`. + +**How it was found**, because the route generalises. `llc -code-model=large` on the same IR +reproduced it ahead of time, which exonerated the JIT's unwind-table registration and turned a +compiler-rebuild loop into a seconds-long one. clang's C++ equivalent at `-mcmodel=large` did +*not* reproduce, which said the defect was in our IR rather than the backend. Deleting the +cleanup funclet still reproduced, which said the `using` was a red herring. A hardware +write-breakpoint on the saved-register slot then named the writer: an 8-byte store from inside +the CRT's EH machinery, of the value `1`, at establisher+52 — the catch object, one word wide +for a four-byte `int`. + +**The fix** gives each catchable type its real size: `int` is 4 and `double` is 8 on every +target, while the pointer-shaped ones (string, opaque pointer, class reference) take +`compileOptions.sizeBits / 8`, since those genuinely do follow the architecture flag. Both +helpers were wrong identically and both are fixed; leaving one behind is the classic trap with a +duplicated table. Worth recording while in there: the whole name table in +`LLVMRTTIHelperVCWin32Const.h` is 64-bit MSVC mangling (`PEA` is a `__ptr64` pointer, and +pointer entries bake `@88` into the symbol), so a 32-bit target needs its own table, not just a +different size. + +New test: `test/tester/tests/00try_using_catch.ts`, run under all three models +(`test-compile-00-try-using-catch`, `test-jit-00-try-using-catch`, +`test-jit-rc-try-using-catch`, `test-jit-none-try-using-catch`).

The +assumption is that a terminator is return-like and its operands are all the block had left to +say. `ts.ThrowCall` is a terminator too, and `TypeScriptInlinerInterface::handleTerminator` only +ever did anything for `ReturnInternalOp` — so the throw was handed over, ignored, and erased. +The multi-block path has no such erase, which is why a *conditional* throw was always fine and +only the throw-only helper was hit. + +The fix is the hook MLIR provides for exactly this, `allowSingleBlockOptimization`: decline the +fast path unless the terminator is a return. The multi-block path then leaves the throw in place +as the block's terminator and puts the code after the call site in an unreachable block, which +is what it should have been all along. + +**Then the same throw inlined into a `catch` clause crashed the backend** — the case that had +been recorded as "lost under AOT, so the gap is in the AOT exception tables". It was neither. +`Win32ExceptionPass` ends a catch region at a `_CxxThrowException` call by splitting the block +*ahead* of it and emitting the `catchret` there, which leaves the throw outside the funclet; but +it also collected that same call into `catchRegion.calls`, which is what stamps +`"funclet"(token %catchpad)` on. So the throw named a pad it had already returned from — the +identical malformed shape §9.14 describes, reached by a different route. An `__cxa_end_catch` +marker is what normally keeps the two apart, by closing the region before the throw is reached, +and a throw the inliner brought in has no marker: the `EndCatchOp` that followed the call it +replaced went with the rest of the now-unreachable code after it. + +**The first attempt at that overreached, and 00try_catch.ts caught it.** Closing the region on +the throw, the way the marker does, broke three tests. That scan walks `instructions(F)` in +order rather than by region, so once inlining has merged several functions into one, a throw +belonging to one catch turns up while another is still open — and closing there strands the rest +of that catch's calls with no bundle at all. Skipping the call is all that is needed; the region +stays open. The `isCatch()` guard matters too: a cleanup region gets no `catchret`, so its throw +stays inside the funclet and does still need the bundle. + +**What this says about the earlier diagnosis.** Three entries on §9.14's open list had two +causes between them, and both diagnoses pointed at the runtime — "the AOT exception tables", "it +is the runtime side that drops it" — on the strength of the IR being well-formed.

Both of these crashed the compiler in every memory model: try { if (f) { using r = new Res(); throw 1; } } catch (e: int) { } using a = new Res(); { using c = new Res(); } throw 1; Win32ExceptionPass::ToInvoke exists to turn a call into an invoke with a given unwind destination, so it splits the block at the call to make room for the new terminator. But the "fix incorrect landing pad" loop hands it operations that are already invokes, and an invoke already ends its block: splitting at one puts it alone in the new continuation block, which every caller then erases it from. What is left is an empty block with no terminator, and the real continuation stranded with no predecessors: %invoke = invoke void %24(ptr %23) [ "funclet"(token %cleanuppad) ] to label %invoke.cont unwind label %26 invoke.cont: ; preds = %15 ; empty, no terminator 25: ; No predecessors! cleanupret from %cleanuppad unwind label %26 AlwaysInlinerPass walks the empty block and dies. An invoke needs its unwind edge redirected and the bundle added, not a block of its own - cloning it in place with CallBase::Create and setUnwindDest, which is what the funclet-bundle loop a few hundred lines above already does. The guards were then re-tested one at a time, which is the payoff of section 9.13 having established that each was individually necessary: that turns "is this still needed?" into a one-line experiment. - blockHasNestedUsing is deleted. An outer and an inner using scope now both dispose on unwind, innermost first. Its cost had been that the outer one stood down from being wrapped so the inner one could be, and so never disposed on unwind at all. - blockIsInsideCatchOrFinally stays. Dropped alone, `catch (e: int) { using r = new Res(); }` still crashes - a different cause, still open. Worth naming its second cost while here: localTakesOwnership consults the same predicate, so a heap local in a catch or finally clause is not owned and leaks under -mm=rc. - blockUsingInitializersAreAllNewExpr stays, re-checked, unchanged. Still open and confirmed independent of this fix: throwing from a finally still crashes the compiler, in both memory models. That is the ts.BeginCleanup-with-no-ts.EndCleanup shape section 9.14 describes. New test: test/tester/tests/00using_nested_scopes.ts, all three models. It covers a using in an if and in a bare block inside a try body, and the outer/inner pair both with the inner scope already closed and with both still live, asserting disposal order rather than just that it happened.

This is that, one step ahead of the work it exists to guard. OwnershipVerifierPass runs at the affine level behind --verify-ownership. Affine because that is the first point where the unwind paths are ordinary CFG edges and can be walked like any other: before TryOpLowering they are regions, and after LowerToLLVM the ops are gone. And in every memory model, not just -mm=rc - ts.RetainSlot and ts.ReleaseSlot survive to there regardless and are only erased on the way to LLVM, so a collected build checks the same invariant a counted one does. That matters more than it sounds: most of the suite, and most of CI, is collected. For each ts.RetainSlot it runs a backward must-analysis over the function's blocks, asking whether any path from the retain to a function exit passes no release of the same slot. A block counts as releasing if it does so directly or inside a region of one of its own operations - conservative on purpose, because a verifier that reports a leak the IR does pay somewhere the walk does not follow is a verifier that gets switched off. It checks the direction that leaks rather than the one that frees live memory, since 5a's insertion is balanced by construction and what an extension to fields, elements, arguments or returns will get wrong first is a path out that nobody released on. A verifier that has never failed might not work, so the unwind-leg release from section 9.15 was reverse-applied first: it reported the leak at the right declaration in all three models, and went quiet again when restored. On its first run over 460 test files it found two things, both real. The first is not an RC bug at all. A break or continue written inside another block skipped every scope between itself and the loop - the disposals a `using` declared as well as the references those scopes' locals took. Three iterations of for (...) { using r = new Res(); if (i == 1) continue; } disposed twice. The walk outwards stopped at the first scope that was not itself a loop, and isLoop is set by a loop on the context it hands its body and then inherited by every context copied from it, so it answers "somewhere inside a loop", not "is the loop" - the very first step thought it had already arrived. Written directly in the loop body it happened to be right, which is why that shape always worked and hid this one. Fixed by splitting the two meanings: isLoopBodyScope is taken by the block that becomes the loop's body and cleared for anything nested further in. Two plausible-looking attempts either side of it were wrong. Carrying the target label into the recursion instead of the empty one breaks 02disposable.ts: the loop sites clear `label` before storing it, so a labelled loop's context holds an empty label too, and `continue cont1` relies on the outer loop matching the empty one the recursion passes down. And moving the recursion out of the ownedVars != nullptr guard, on the reasonable theory that a scope owning nothing says nothing about its parents, breaks Path.ts - and the isLoop fix made it unnecessary anyway. The second is left alone and documented: a [Symbol.dispose]() that itself throws during unwind skips the release that follows it, because the cleanup region's unwind edge reaches the enclosing catch without passing it. Fixing that means releasing before disposing, which breaks the ordering section 9.12 chose deliberately - a disposable is still usable while its dispose runs, and dropping the last reference first could have freed it. New test: test/tester/tests/00break_continue_scope_exit.ts, all three models. It covers continue and break from inside an if, two levels of nesting, a `using` in the intermediate scope as well, the labelled form, and the shape that always worked as a control. Confirmed to fail with the fix reverse-applied. Full release suite green: 875/875.

The runtime half has been there since section 9.4 - releaseFields walks an instance's fields when its release routine runs - but nothing ever took the reference that routine gives up, and overwriting a field dropped the outgoing value without releasing it. isOwnedLocalSlot becomes one arm of isOwningSlot; the other is a ts.PropertyRef whose base is a class or object instance and whose field type owns heap memory. Retain-first, as for locals, which is what makes `h.item = h.item` safe. A field of a record held inline - a tuple in a local, a parameter's slot - is deliberately left out. Its fields are released by whatever owns the record, which is only tracked when that is an owned local, so retaining into a record nothing releases would leak. Arguments and elements ask the same question and deserve one answer rather than three. The new tests have no teeth on counting yet, and that was checked rather than assumed: swapping the store to release-before-retain leaves every case passing, because the birth reference is still unconsumed and every count sits one above the truth. The test header says so. They are written as aliasing cases so they gain teeth the moment the slack goes. This also broke the verifier from the previous commit, instructively: its structural check went from zero findings to 49 files, all false, because an overwrite pairs ts.Retain on the value with ts.ReleaseSlot on the slot, so the slot never appears in a ts.RetainSlot. It now recognises the hand-over by the store that follows.

A T[] value is { data, length }, and its release routine walks the elements of the data block before freeing it (buildArrayBody) - the mirror of what releaseFields does for an instance - so `arr[i] = x` carried the same debt `obj.f = x` did, and was likewise a bare ts.Store. A third arm on isOwningSlot: a ts.ElementRef whose base is an ArrayType and whose element type owns heap memory. Only ArrayType - ts.ElementRef also addresses a ConstArrayType, whose data is a static literal nothing releases, and a StringType, whose characters are not references. Element access already produces ts.Load on a ts.ElementRef, so the store flows through the same assignment path fields do; the predicate was the whole change. push, unshift and splice put a value into that same data block through their own ops rather than through an assignment, and pop and shift take one back out. The taking-out half asks the same question a return does, so those go together in a later slice rather than half here. These tests do have teeth, unlike the field ones, and that is the interesting part. The same release-before-retain swap that left every field case passing makes the element self-assignment read back 0 where the field one still reads 5. Reduced to two five-line programs, the asymmetry is not about elements: an array literal stores its elements without retaining them, so an element seeded by a literal holds only its birth reference and a release-first drops it straight to zero. That is a latent over-release in its own right - the array's release routine gives up a reference the literal never took - cancelled out today, exactly, by the same unconsumed birth reference. Object literals construct the same way. So literal construction, not arguments or returns, is the next slice: it is the one insertion point now shown to be already wrong rather than merely incomplete, and it has to land before the slack comes out. The verifier is unchanged by this step - same two files, same six retain sites, no new "released but never retained". Section 9.19's hand-over recognition generalised to elements without modification. Full release suite green: 883/883.

The previous commit predicted this and filed it as latent, to be fixed before the birth-reference slack came out. Reducing it properly said otherwise - it frees live memory today: let kept = new Leaf(7); let a = [kept]; let b = [kept]; a[0] = new Leaf(1); // kept still 7 b[0] = new Leaf(2); // kept.n now 0, freed while the local holds it The mechanism recorded in section 9.20 was wrong, and section 9.20 now says so. The array does not die at scope exit and release an element it never retained - its data block carries an unconsumed birth reference of its own, so its release routine never runs at all. What actually happens is that a literal-seeded element sits at one where an assignment-filled field sits at two, and each overwrite spends the missing reference: the first cancelled by the slack, the second going past zero. The slack was masking exactly one release of it, not the bug. The fix is one helper used at the two sites that fill an owning block in one go: the array literal's ts.CreateArray, and the boxed object literal's ts.New/ts.Store. A record-shaped value retains through its own routine, which walks its owning fields, so the boxed case takes one ts.Retain on the whole tuple rather than one per field. Left open and now bounded: the spread form ([...xs, y]) builds through ts.ArrayPush and waits for the mutating-ops slice; an unboxed object literal stays an inline tuple and waits with the inline-record case. Each test case was checked against the compiler as it stood rather than the file as a whole: six of the seven return wrong values there, the seventh being a deliberate control. One overwrite does not bite; one value reaching two slots that are both overwritten does. The verifier is unchanged, and that is a limit rather than a clean bill of health - it pairs ts.RetainSlot with ts.ReleaseSlot, and this bug lives in the value-form retain against an owning block's eventual release. The check that would have caught it does not exist yet. Full release suite green: 887/887.

Same recipe to expose it - one value reaching two slots that are both later overwritten - and the same fix, in MLIRCustomMethods where the three ops are built. This also closes the spread literal left open a commit ago. [...xs, y] is not built by ts.CreateArray at all: mlirGenAppendArrayByEachElement synthesises a for..of calling push, so it inherits push's retain rather than needing one of its own. pop and shift get no counterpart, and that is a decision rather than an omission. The block does not release what it gives up - buildArrayBody loops to size, and both ops shrink size past the slot, so the release routine never reaches it. The reference simply transfers to the returned value, leaving the result with the same "+1 nobody has consumed" every freshly produced value already carries. Pairing a release here would free a value the caller is about to use. The question of what a pop and a return owe each other turns out to be already answered by the existing convention. Still open: what splice deletes is memmoved over and its references dropped without a release. That leaks rather than over-releases, and it cannot be fixed at this level anyway, because the number of elements to release is only known inside the lowering. It is the first item in this arc that will need emission from LowerToLLVM rather than MLIRGen, which also puts it outside what the verifier can see. One test case had to be strengthened, and only running each case separately found it. spreadLiteralSharesValue passed on the unfixed compiler with two overwrites: the source array is itself a literal, so it already holds a legitimate retained reference, and that one extra absorbed the second release. The case was worthless and looked fine. Overwriting the source as well puts the two spread copies back on the hook - 6 where 13 is due. Full release suite green: 891/891.

Checking each before writing anything turned two of the three into no-ops. Arguments are already borrowed, and that is the right convention. A parameter's slot is not marked owned, so passing a heap value neither retains nor releases. The hazard worth testing is a callee that drops every holder of what it was handed, so that case was written - a function passed a value plus the class field, the second holder and the array that all point at it, dropping all three before reading it. It reads correctly, and it has to: every holder that drops also retained when it took. Returns already work too. `return x` releases x's owned slot on the way out, which balances the retain at its declaration, and what the caller receives is the birth reference. That is the same +1 transfer pop and shift perform, arrived at from the other direction. The inline-record case was a live over-release, and the reasoning that deferred it was half wrong. It was excluded because "retaining into a record nothing releases would leak" - but an owned local holding a record does release its fields, since RetainSlot and ReleaseSlot on a record-shaped slot go through the type's own routines and those walk the fields. So the local retained the field's original value and released whatever the field held at scope exit, while an assignment in between swapped that value taking and giving nothing. Two such assignments of one value released it twice and freed it while a local still held it. The rule is conditional, unlike the class one: an inline record's field owns exactly when the storage under it owns, so isOwnedFieldSlot now recurses through a RefType base into isOwningSlot. A parameter's slot answers no, and so does the scratch storage a literal is built in, which is what keeps construction from leaking. Construction needed nothing, and that was checked rather than assumed: a literal is built in scratch storage nobody owns, then copied into the owned local whose RetainSlot retains the fields. That also closes the unboxed object literal left open earlier - never broken, only unexamined. Two of the six test cases had to be reshaped after failing to bite. recordsInsideAnArray cannot bite at all yet, because its releases would come from the array's own release routine and that never runs while the data block carries an unconsumed birth reference; it is kept and labelled as coverage of the predicate's recursion rather than as a counting test. The other needed a third record, because an array holding the same value retains it legitimately and that reference has to be spent first. Full release suite green: 895/895.

A block starts unowned; whoever first takes it - a local's declaration, a field or element store, a literal capturing it, a push - is what brings the count to one, and that owner's release is what takes it back to zero and frees it. That is the slack the locals slice deliberately left, and every insertion point that had to exist before it could come out now does. Being born at zero also gives the remaining mistakes a benign shape at the boundary: a release of a block nobody ever took underflows to all-ones, which is HEAP_BLOCK_IMMORTAL, so the block leaks instead of being freed out from under a live reference. The companion change is not optional. The scope exit at a return releases every owned local in the frame, and the returned value is very often held by one of them, so `return x` after `let x = new C()` would free the value on the way out. The value is retained before the scope exit instead. Retaining the value rather than identifying which local holds it is what makes this work for `return h.item`, `return arr[0]` and `return cond ? a : b` alike, and it makes the convention uniform: every function returns +1, the same transfer pop and shift perform. Stated exactly, because half of it is not yet a win. For arrays, strings and boxed object literals this is a real removal of the slack: a data block now goes to one and back to zero and is freed. For class instances it is currently neutral - new C() is a call to a compiler-generated C..new, so the return retain hands back precisely the +1 the birth reference used to provide. Verified rather than assumed, with the release-before-retain swap: all 35 owned and disposable tests still pass, so they have not gained teeth yet. Two comments in the tree were wrong and are corrected here, because both read as authoritative and cost real time before this change could even be designed. Defines.h said the header word "is not yet initialized on allocation - nothing maintains a count", which stopped being true when the count was added; and getHeapBlockHeaderSize claimed class instances bypass the header through GC_malloc_explicitly_typed, a path that sits behind ENABLE_TYPED_GC and was retired long before the header existed. Together they produce a model in which blocks are born at zero and none of the last six slices' arithmetic holds. _MemoryAlloc is the authority. Full release suite green: 895/895.

One is the change; the other is that two comments in the tree were +wrong and cost real time before the change could even be designed, which is worth recording +because both were the kind of stale note that reads as authoritative. + +**The wrong comments.** `Defines.h` said of the header word "the word is not yet initialized on +allocation - nothing maintains a count". That stopped being true at §9.6. Reading it, and the +sibling note in `getHeapBlockHeaderSize` claiming class instances bypass the header through +`GC_malloc_explicitly_typed`, led to an hour of reasoning from a model in which blocks were born +at zero and none of §9.12-§9.23's arithmetic held. `_MemoryAlloc` settles it in one line — it +stored `1`, with the comment "the block starts owned by exactly one reference" — and the typed +path that would have bypassed the header sits behind `ENABLE_TYPED_GC` and was retired in §9.2. +Both comments are now corrected. The lesson is narrow and practical: in this area, read the +emitting code, not the note describing it. + +**The change.** `_MemoryAlloc` now writes **0**. A block starts unowned; whoever first takes it - +a local's declaration, a field or element store, a literal capturing it, a push - is what brings +the count to one, and that owner's release is what takes it back to zero and frees it. That is +the slack §9.12 deliberately left, and every insertion point that had to exist before it could +come out now does (§9.19-§9.23). + +Being born at zero also gives the remaining mistakes a benign shape at the boundary: a release of +a block nobody ever took underflows to all-ones, which is `HEAP_BLOCK_IMMORTAL`, so the block +leaks instead of being freed out from under a live reference. + +**The companion change, which is not optional.** The scope exit at a `return` releases every +owned local in the frame, and the returned value is very often held by one of them. Once +allocations are born unowned that release is the last one, so `return x` after `let x = new C()` +would free the value on the way out. The value is therefore retained before the scope exit. +Retaining the value rather than trying to identify which local holds it is what makes this work +for `return h.item`, `return arr[0]` and `return cond ? a : b` alike — and it establishes a +uniform convention: **every function returns +1**, the same transfer `pop` and `shift` perform. + +**What this does and does not achieve, stated exactly.** For arrays, strings and boxed object +literals it is a real removal of the slack: `let a = [1, 2, 3]` now takes its data block to one +and back to zero, and the block is freed. For **class instances it is currently neutral**, and +that was verified rather than assumed. `new C()` is a call to a compiler-generated `C..new`, so +the return retain applies to it too and hands back exactly the +1 the birth reference used to +provide. The check was the release-before-retain swap from §9.20: if class instances had lost +their slack, that swap would now free live memory and the owned-* tests would fail. All 35 still +pass, so they have not gained teeth yet. + +**Which names the second half precisely.** The convention is now uniform - calls hand out +1 - so +what remains is for the receiving sites to *consume* it: a local declaration, a field or element +store, a literal capture or a push whose incoming value is already +1 should not retain again. +The classification is structural (a call result, `ts.CreateArray`, `ts.New`, `ts.ArrayPop`, +`ts.ArrayShift` are +1; loads, parameters and constants are +0) and it fails safe in the +direction of not knowing: an unrecognised producer is treated as +0, retained, and leaks. + +The dangerous direction is the opposite one, and it has a specific name: a call that returns a +heap value **without** passing through the return path patched here - a runtime or builtin helper +such as string concatenation, or a function imported from a module built before this convention. +Treating those as +1 would skip a retain that was never performed and free live memory.

This closes that for the case that was leaking in every program. A correction to that commit's own list of producers first. It named ts.CreateArray, ts.New, ts.ArrayPop and ts.ArrayShift as +1 alongside calls, which was carried over from the model in which allocations were born at one. They are not: once a block starts unowned, CreateArray and New hand back a value at zero and their receiver's retain is exactly right. Genuinely +1 is narrower - a call that retained on the way out, and pop and shift transferring a reference the data block held. Only new C() is marked, at the one place that builds the call and so knows the callee is the generated C..new. Nothing infers ownership from an operation merely being a call, and that restraint is the whole safety argument: a runtime or builtin helper, or a function imported from a module built before this convention, hands back a heap value with no retain behind it, and consuming one of those would skip a retain nobody performed and free live memory. Answering "not owned" for something that was owned only leaks, so the unknown case falls the safe way. All four receivers consume - a local declaration, a field or element store, a literal capturing a value, and push/unshift/splice. The release side is untouched: what a slot was holding still has to be given up, whoever the incoming reference came from. The declaration case needed the verifier extended, and the first attempt silenced it instead. A consumed local has no ts.RetainSlot; the declaration itself is the acquisition. Adding the slot to the "was it ever retained" set stopped the false reports, but the every-path check iterated the ts.RetainSlot list, so it quietly stopped running for exactly the locals whose release now matters most. The sweep went from two findings to zero, which looked like an improvement and was a regression. The pass now collects acquisitions - a slot paired with the operation to blame - from both shapes. The ownership tests have teeth now. Re-running the release-before-retain swap: before this it failed nothing; now it fails owned-locals, owned-fields and owned-elements. 00owned_fields.ts was written with a header saying it guarded shape and run path but not counting, and asking for this experiment to be re-run once the slack went. It has been, and that header is updated. Still leaking, and now the whole of what is left: every +1 that is not consumed - an ordinary call's result, a discarded pop, a returned value the caller drops. Full release suite green: 895/895.

From d183def2cc8ec94b295e350392122a2f879cbe2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ASDAlexander77 Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 16:46:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 28/99] Consume the reference pop and shift transfer pop and shift do not release the element they give up - the size shrinks past the slot, so the array's release routine never reaches it again - which hands the data block's reference to whoever receives the result. Marking those two results owned lets a receiver take that reference over instead of adding one, so `let x = arr.pop()` is one owner rather than two. These are the compiler's own operations with known semantics, so there is nothing to classify and nothing to get wrong. The other half of this step does not land, and the reason is worth stating. Every function retains its result on the way out, so `let y = f()` is one owner above the truth as well, and that is the dominant remaining leak. Marking it needs to know that this particular callee retains, and three things stop that being answerable where the call is generated: the retain lives in the return statement, so a concise arrow body and yield reach the return value down paths that do not have it; the callee's FuncOp need not exist when the call site is generated, so a lookup would answer differently depending on declaration order; and a declared, imported or runtime callee looks identical to a local one while having no retaining return at all. That last is the case where being wrong frees live memory. The shape that answers all three is a pass after MLIRGen, when every function is present and its return paths can be inspected rather than predicted. The first version of the new test was worthless and looked fine. It passed with a deliberate over-release injected into pop, because a freed block keeps its contents until something else claims them, so reading through the receiver read the right answer out of freed memory - it caught nothing the existing tests did not already catch. Each case now calls a churn() helper between the transfer and the read, allocating enough same-shaped blocks to land on the freed one, and it then fails against that injection as it should. Injecting the opposite mistake - treating every ts.Load result as already-owned, so receivers stop retaining - fails six of the ownership tests. The suite detects premature frees broadly now, which is the property that matters most from here on. Full release suite green: 899/899.

All three obstacles it named dissolve once every function exists, +so the work moves to a module pass that runs straight after MLIRGen. + +**It looks rather than predicts.** A function counts as returning owned only when every +`ts.ReturnVal` of a heap-owning value in it is preceded by a `ts.Retain` of *that same value* in +the same block. Anything else is left alone: a callee with no body, a call through a function +value with no single callee to inspect, a generator (vetoed outright, since what its caller +receives is the generator object rather than anything those returns produce). Those callers keep +retaining, which leaks rather than freeing something live. The whole design puts the uncertain +case on the leaking side. + +Each exclusion was checked on emitted IR rather than assumed: a `declare`d callee keeps its +`ts.RetainSlot`, an indirect call through a parameter keeps its own, and a local function's call +is marked and its receiver's retain removed - with the declaration marked as the acquisition so +the verifier can still pair the release that follows. + +**A prerequisite that had to land first.** A concise arrow body (`() => expr`) returns without +going through the return statement, so it never got §9.24's retain and would have been excluded +from the convention entirely. It has one now. This is not fixing a dangling read - there is no +scope exit there to free anything - it is the convention itself: callers cannot be told "calls +return owned" while one shape of function quietly returns borrowed. + +**What the check actually excludes, measured rather than guessed.** Removing it raises the number +of marked call sites across the suite from **469 to 497**, so it is not a formality - it excludes +28 real calls, reaching 92 distinct functions. Following one of them to its IR explains all of +them: the retain is emitted on the value the return statement *evaluated*, while +`mlirGenReturnValue` then casts that value to the declared return type, and it is the cast result +that `ts.ReturnVal` carries. So a return needing a cast retains the wrong value. It is benign - +the reference lands on a value nobody releases, which leaks - and the pass is right to exclude +those functions, but the fix is to apply the return-type cast before the retain rather than +inside the return. That is a separate slice. + +**An honest coverage note.** Disabling the retain check entirely - marking every function with an +owning return, sound or not - still leaves the suite at 903/903. The guard is reasoned rather than +test-validated, because no test currently exercises a callee that returns a heap value without +retaining it. The *other* direction is covered: over-consuming a call result, by removing every +receiver retain instead of one, segfaults `00owned_call_results.ts` outright. + +New test: `test/tester/tests/00owned_call_results.ts`, all three models - a result outliving the +local that received it, shared between two locals, stored into a field, captured by an array +literal and by `push`, forwarded through two frames, returned from a method, and returned from an +arrow function.

The predicate now names only `gc`. The flip failed one test immediately, and the same file failed under -mm=none on a build with none of this work in it: a `new` inside a Win64 catch clause at -O3. Win32ExceptionPass stamps the funclet bundles correctly; LLVM's DSE then rewrites malloc + memset(0) into calloc without carrying the operand bundles over, so WinEHPrepare emits the handler as a bare prologue with no body and no catchret. Confirmed against stock `opt -O3` and `llc`, and named with -print-after-all. Only `gc` was ever safe, and by accident - GCPass deletes the zero-fill, so the pattern never reached LLVM. A zeroed block is now asked for as `calloc` outright, leaving nothing for that fold to rewrite; GCPass maps it onto GC_malloc (rewritten, not renamed - the arity differs) and drops the unreferenced declaration. The wasm fork has no ts_calloc and no funclets, so it keeps the two-step form, as the intrinsic. Measured, AOT, peak working set: a million-iteration allocation loop holds flat at 3.8 MB under `rc` against 172.8 MB under `none`, the first result in this arc that demonstrates reference counting reclaims anything. raytrace.ts reclaims nothing at all - it is built from `return new Vector(...)` used inline, so every intermediate carries the +1 its return retained with no owner to give it back. That reclassifies item 5l, discarded temporaries, as the dominant leak. New tests: 00alloc_in_catch.ts in all four variants (teeth confirmed with the fix disabled), plus -mm=none variants of 03disposable.ts and 04disposable.ts, which had no non-gc coverage. Found and left alone: a try/catch nested inside a catch crashes with no allocation in it, in every model at every opt level. 909/909 green. Verifier unchanged at two files.

Found because a test written for the allocator flip tried to allocate inside a nested handler. A try nested in a try body or in a finally always worked; only the catch clause was affected, which is why nothing had caught it. Two independent bugs, the second visible only once the first was fixed, and each confirmed load-bearing by disabling it alone and rebuilding. 1. TryOpLowering finds its clause's ts.CatchOp by walking the catches region, and the walk descended into a nested try, picking up the inner clause's catch. The outer try's landing pad then took its RTTI type filter from the wrong clause. The walk is now pre-order and skips a nested try - skip() only prunes regions still to come, and the default post-order has already visited them. 2. A catch clause can be ended twice over: a throw leaving a catch ends it ahead of itself, so a nested try's throw closes the enclosing clause and the outer try's own end-of-catch marker is a second one. The surplus marker became the region's end instruction, which is where the catchret goes, so it survived into the emitted code - and __cxa_end_catch has no Win64 counterpart, so it failed to link. Win32ExceptionPass now skips past and removes end-of-catch markers while looking for a region's end, and removes an unclaimed one found with no region open. New test 00nested_catch.ts in four variants: a catch in a catch, three deep, an inner clause never taken, a nested try with its own finally, the whole thing in a loop, an inner clause throwing past the outer one, and the try-in-body and try-in-finally shapes kept alongside as guards. 00alloc_in_catch.ts regained the nested case it had to leave out. Found and NOT fixed: reading a catch variable's value is broken independently of nesting - `try { throw 2 } catch (v: int) { t = v }` reads 0 in a module that throws only that type, and reads correctly once the module throws others, which is why 00try_catch.ts passes. The new test checks clause selection and control flow only, never a catch value. Documented in doc section 9.29. 913/913 green.

It picked up the *inner* clause's catch, so the outer try's landing +pad got its RTTI type filter from the wrong clause. The debug build says this outright - the +`assert(!catchOpPtr)` on the second catch found - which is worth remembering: the release build +faulted with no diagnostic at all and no usable stack, and the debug build named the line in one +run without a debugger. The walk is now pre-order and skips a nested try, because `skip()` only +prunes regions still to come and the default post-order has already visited them. + +**2. A catch clause can be ended twice over.** §9.14 has a `throw` leaving a catch clause end that +catch ahead of itself. A nested `try`'s throw is such a throw, so the enclosing clause is already +ended by the time the outer try emits its own end-of-catch marker - and the surplus marker became +the region's `end` instruction, which is where the catchret goes, so it survived into the emitted +code. `__cxa_end_catch` is an Itanium marker with no Win64 counterpart, so it failed to link +(`Symbols not found: [ __cxa_end_catch ]`).

Reproduced in every model, and at `-O3` a separate variant of the same shape reads +0 where `-O0` reads 3. `00nested_catch.ts` therefore checks which clause runs and in what order and +never reads a catch value; nothing there should be made to depend on a broken feature.

It is built almost entirely out of Vector.plus(Vector.times(k, a), b), so nearly every allocation it makes is an intermediate passed straight as an argument and never bound - carrying the +1 its return retained with no owner to give it back. Consumption is recorded rather than implied. Each receiving site answered producesOwnedReference by not emitting a retain, which left no trace: once the pass erased a receiver's retain, a consumed call and a call nobody received looked identical. A second attribute marks the ones a receiver took over, and its absence identifies a discarded temporary. The release goes at the END OF THE PRODUCER'S BLOCK - a temporary's natural lifetime, and unconditionally after every use in that block. After the last *user* looks tighter and is wrong: the receiver of `let x = f()` retains the result of the cast, not of the call, so the call's last user is the cast and a release there runs before that retain. A user outside the block, or a user that is a terminator, disqualifies the value and leaves it leaking as before. A second gap had to close before any of this fired. The pass classified a function as returning owned only when every return was preceded by a retain - but `return new C()` forwards a reference rather than adding one, so every `static times(...) { return new Vector(...) }` went unclassified, which is most of what expression-shaped code is built from. Measured, AOT, peak working set: raytrace.ts 129.5 MB -> 79.3 MB, below none's 106.7 for the first time; the nested-call shape on its own is flat at 3.8 MB against none's 188.0. What raytrace still leaks is an object literal returned through an interface (41.5 MB vs none's 42.3) - arrays and strings both reclaim, so that path is specific and is the next slice, filed as 5n. New test 00owned_temporaries.ts in four variants, with teeth measured per case by two probes rather than assumed: releasing consumed results too is caught only by the loop case (an end-of-block release lands after every read in its block); releasing immediately after the producer, the ordering the design rests on, is caught by 4 of 8 cases at -O3 and 6 of 8 at -O0. Two cases cannot fail loudly and are kept knowingly. The first version of usedAsArgumentAndBound passed both probes for the wrong reason - a freed block still held its old value - so argumentReadAfterCalleeAllocates was added, where the callee allocates before reading its arguments. 917/917 green.

It does not have to be recoverable: an interface has the problem an `any` box has, so the value now carries the runtime type tag of its `this` and releases through the concrete type's own routines, reusing releaseViaDescriptor unchanged. Every interface value in the program is built by one op, so there is no path that leaves the tag undefined. That turned two dormant omissions into live over-releases, both freeing memory still in use, and both reachable before this change: - castTupleToInterface allocates a block and fills it from a literal without retaining what the literal holds; - retainInsertedElements skipped its retain for an already-owned value without recording the consumption, so a pushed instance was released at the end of the pushing block. Both are invisible while the block that builds is also the block that reads, which is why the section 9.30 tests missed them. Item 5m is done here too - the retain has to land after the cast, or a literal returned as an interface leaves the block the caller receives with no reference at all - and that surfaced a placement bug in 5l: a generator's resume point makes the end of a block reachable on a path that never produced the value. The two interface shapes are now flat. raytrace's figure goes up, 79.3 MB to 114.2, because part of the old number was memory freed while still referenced; what it leaks now is instance-method calls, filed as item 5o. 921/921. Ownership verifier unchanged.

A method call is not shaped like one - obj.m(x) builds a bound function and splits it apart again - so it now looks through exactly the chains the dialect's own canonicalizer already rewrites into direct calls. That those name one callee is not a new judgement. The value of item 5o is not there, though: every non-virtual method reference in raytrace is a constructor, and the 9 that return values are all virtual. A virtual call's identifier names the declaration, not what the runtime class put in the slot. `private` looked like it settled that - TypeScript forbids overriding a private member, all 9 sites are private, and marking them took raytrace from 114.2 to 111.2 MB with the suite green - but this compiler accepts class Base { private tag() { return 1 } get() { return this.tag() } } class Derived extends Base { private tag() { return 2 } } which TypeScript rejects, and prints 2. So that marking was reverted rather than kept on a guarantee this compiler does not make; doing 5o properly needs the callee's override set and buys 2.6% of raytrace. What raytrace actually leaks is a closure's capture box, which ownsHeapMemory excludes for the same shape of reason interfaces had before the last commit - and the same answer is available. 76.8 MB against none's 77.8 on its own.

From a19eba0b9232bad98c45269328549084afae7a2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ASDAlexander77 Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 23:04:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 35/99] Give a closure its capture box, and make the releases actually run A closure's `this` is its capture box, heap-allocated and named nowhere in the function type - the same shape of reason interfaces owned nothing before the last-but-one commit, and the same answer works. A bound or hybrid function value carries the tag of its `this` beside the pointer, and releases through it. releaseViaTagBesideThis is now shared by both cases; they differ only in which slot the tag sits in. Only a closure over captured variables is marked as owning its `this` - a bound method's receiver belongs to whoever holds the object, and obj.m must not take a reference to obj. Measuring that showed nothing moving, and the reason was not in the closure work: ts.ReturnVal is not a terminator - the scope-exit releases and ts.Exit follow it in the same block - but the affine lowering turns it into a branch to the exit block, so anything appended after it is dropped as unreachable. And that is where the discarded-temporary release was being appended. Any function whose block ends with a return has that shape. 36 of raytrace's 47 releases were being discarded on the way to affine, so the whole of section 9.30 was largely inert for exactly the code it was written for, and no test could see it because a release that vanishes only leaks. The release now goes before the first op that ends the block's execution, which is what MLIRGen's own scope exit has always done. 46 of 47 survive. That fix made releases survive in generators too, where the state machine cuts blocks at every resume point and a position after a definition may not be on the path that reaches it - three generator tests failed on dominance. Whole generators are now excluded, as functionReturnsOwned already excludes them. raytrace 113.8 -> 103.4 MB, of which placement is 4.3 and the capture box 6.1. The closure benchmark is 77.8 -> 46.9 against none's 75.1; what it still holds is the captured variables' own heap cells, which are also behind a use-after-free older than this work - a captured object carried out of its frame is released by that frame's scope exit.

Its storage is a heap block of its own - a cell - so that the frame and every closure over it read and write the one variable. Nothing owned that block. The frame's scope exit released the value in it while the box still pointed at the cell, and the cell itself was never freed, so function makeAdder(k: number) { let bump = new Vec(k); return v => v.x + bump.x } freed the Vec on the way out of makeAdder and leaked the cell behind it - a use-after-free older than any of this work. A cell has exactly two kinds of owner: the frame that declared the variable, and each capture box that captured it. It is born owned, which is the opposite of a value block - a value block is born unowned because a receiver is about to take it, and a cell has no receiver. The box takes one at the capture site, and only where a variable or parameter was actually marked captured, since that marking is what makes storage a cell rather than a stack slot. A scope exit releasing a captured local gives up the cell, not the value in it. ts.RetainCell and ts.ReleaseCell are new ops for that difference: the existing slot pair addresses storage in order to reach the value in it, these address the block as the value. The box needed release and retain routines of its own. Its release had been an object's, and that skips a reference field - correctly everywhere else, since a reference points at storage its holder does not own. A capture-by-reference field is the exception. The routines are keyed by the capture's own ref type rather than the box's object, so neither they nor the descriptor can be shared with a plain object of the same shape. Writing the cases turned up two more over-releases, both older than this change and both confirmed against a rebuilt baseline rather than assumed. A const captured by value goes into the box as a copy of a reference, which is a further owner, and nothing retained it. And assigning to a captured variable from inside the closure stored a value nothing had taken - inside the closure the variable is a load of the box's field, which none of isOwningSlot's cases recognised - so the discarded-temporary pass freed what the assignment had just set. The ownership verifier had to learn that ts.ReleaseCell discharges a slot too; without that it reported every captured local in the suite as a leak. raytrace -O3 goes 103.4 -> 2.6 MB, below gc's own 4.2, and the size of that step says what the cells were: its per-pixel closures declare their captured variables inside functions called once per pixel. What is left is a captured parameter, whose cell has an owner that never lets go because a parameter is borrowed - a leak, and the thing that stops the box from releasing an argument the caller still owns. Filed as 5r. 925/925. Ownership verifier unchanged at its two standing findings.

A captured parameter, whose argument belongs to the caller, was never on it. Nor was a captured local of a type that owns nothing, a number being the ordinary case. Both leaked the same block the owning ones no longer do. So the listing and the ownership question are separated. Every local with storage is listed, and every parameter, and scope exit asks each slot what it turned out to be: a cell gets ts.ReleaseCell, a slot whose value the scope owns gets ts.ReleaseSlot, and one that is neither has nothing emitted for it and was listed only because it might have become a cell and did not. It can only be asked there - whether a variable is captured is not known at its declaration, since the closure that captures it is written afterwards and marks the storage when it is generated. A parameter's list belongs to the function rather than to the body block, which is the scope a parameter actually has, and giving that context a list exposed something that had always been wrong and was merely unreachable. A scope exit walks outwards through parentBlockContext, and a function's context inherits that pointer from whatever context the function was generated under - for a nested function, the enclosing function's blocks. The walk used to stop at the first context without a list and a function's context never had one; with one, a return inside a lambda starts releasing the enclosing frame's locals. The pointer is now cleared at the function boundary, where the walk always should have ended. The other half is what the cell holds. A cell's release releases its contents, which is right when the frame put an owned value there and an over-release when it did not, and a captured parameter's cell starts out holding the caller's argument. Rather than teach the release to skip those, the cell takes a reference to the value it is initialised with unless the frame already took one. A cell then owns what it holds unconditionally, which is what the release, the store through the box, and the store through the variable's own name can all rely on - and the last of those needed saying, so isOwningSlot recognises a cell from the declaring frame's side too. Without it the store takes nothing and the discarded-temporary pass frees what the assignment just set, which is the failure the box side had, arriving from the other direction. Measured at -O0, closure over a parameter: 22.6 -> 3.7 MB against gc's 2.6 and none's 22.0. Closure over a captured number: 51.7 -> 3.7 against none's 113.0. raytrace at -O3 is unchanged at 2.6, its cells all being captured locals holding objects. Three cases in 00owned_closures.ts, each failing for its own fix and passing for the other, and the swap - retaining ahead of the store rather than after it - crashes all three. The escape is two frames deep on purpose: written one frame shallower the discarded temporary's release lands after the read and the case passes with the bug present. 925/925. Ownership verifier unchanged at its two standing findings. A corpus sweep under -mm=rc against the previous commit turned up one difference, 22lambdas.ts, which is not this change: it fails about one run in four under rc on both commits and never under gc or none.

The cell is the same 24-byte block in all four rows. + +So the listing and the ownership question are separated. `trackPossibleCell` lists every local +that has storage, owned or not, and `mlirGenFunctionBody` lists every parameter; scope exit then +asks each slot what it turned out to be — a cell gets `ts.ReleaseCell`, a slot the frame owns the +value of gets `ts.ReleaseSlot`, and a slot that is neither has nothing emitted for it and is on +the list only because it might have become a cell and did not. + +That it can only be asked at scope exit is the reason for the two-step. Whether a variable is +captured is not known at its declaration: the closure that captures it is written afterwards, and +marks the storage when it is generated.

Nothing took the reference to say so. The value was copied in, and where it arrived carrying one of its own - a closure, whose reference is the capture box it was built over - no receiver claimed it, so the discarded-temporary pass gave it back at the end of the block. The `any` was left pointing at freed memory, and its own release later freed it a second time. let fns: any[] = []; fns.push(qux2); // qux2 captures a local function qux2() { glb1 += kk; } corrupts the heap five runs in five. This was 22lambdas.ts failing about one run in four under -mm=rc and never under gc or none, which is what a use-after-free looks like from outside; the corpus sweep left behind by the previous change is what found it. Three ingredients turned out to be needed - a closure, a capture, and `any` - and the loop it was written in was not one of them. The boxing cast now consumes or retains like every other owning receiver. Consuming and retaining are separate halves and the cases prove them separately: a payload carrying a reference that is not consumed is the crash, and one carrying none that is not retained is a plain leak. A second bug fell out of the sweep and belongs to the previous change, not this one. A captured declaration with no initializer - `let x: string;` closed over by a lambda that assigns on a path never taken - has a cell that is a heap block, so before the first store it holds whatever the allocator last left there, and scope exit releases the cell and with it the contents. Listing every local, initialised or not, is what made that reachable; an owned local can never be in the position, being owned only when it has an initializer. Cells are zeroed at birth now, on the terms owned locals already had. Making those two cases deterministic took the right dirt rather than more of it: churn before the declaration caught the bug one run in ten, and running a cell of exactly the same shape first - one that frees the string in it and then frees the cell - hands the next declaration a block holding an already-freed pointer, ten runs in ten. Also fixes the sweep script itself, which is worth saying because it was measuring the harness: `___unbox` throws on a type mismatch, that pulls in the CRT's type_info vftable, and only --shared-libs=TypeScriptRuntime.dll makes the symbol resolvable. test-runner passes it; the sweep did not, and 43 of its 161 failures were that. 929/929, four new tests registered. Ownership verifier unchanged at its two standing findings. The sweep diff against the previous commit is two lines: 22lambdas.ts 3 bad runs of 15 to 0, and the new file. Measuring the boxing path afterwards put its remaining leak somewhere else entirely - a concatenated string held by a local leaks with no array and no `any` in sight, 34.5 MB against gc's 4.1 - which is filed as 5t.

Neither said it was handing anyone a reference, so a receiver added one of its own - balanced, and it worked - while an intermediate that no receiver ever took was left with none at all. `"s" + k` leaks twice over: the conversion prints k into a fresh buffer, the concatenation builds another over it, and the first is read once and then forgotten. Being an operand of a concatenation is not being received, and the discarded-temporary pass only releases what is marked, so nothing gave it back. Every number ever printed into a string leaked. Both now do what `new` and a call do: a retain that makes the reference real, and the mark that says a receiver may take it over rather than adding one. The two halves have to travel together, and that is the design point - the mark alone hands a receiver a reference nobody made, and the retain alone is a leak with extra steps. It is also what makes this safe to be generous with, since a value wrongly counted as fresh gains a reference and a release for it. `let s = "s" + k` in a 500k-iteration loop at -O0 goes 34.5 -> 3.7 MB, below gc's 4.1, and the `any`-boxing benchmark from the previous change - whose remaining leak this turned out to be all along - 39.9 -> 3.7. Measuring the array end of that turned up a second bug, older than any of this work. Growing an array is a realloc and nothing zeroes the tail, so the new slots hold whatever was last in that memory - and a store into an element gives up what the slot held first, so the release reads it. That is the default library's own `Array.map`, which grows a result array and then fills it, and it crashed `arrS.map(e => e + "_")` six runs in twenty under -mm=rc. The lowering now zeroes the exposed tail, under rc and only where an element owns something. The sweep diff read that as this change's regression. Rebuilding the previous commit and running the file twenty times is what settled it - six bad there too. One clean sweep run is not evidence about a file that fails a third of the time, which is the same trap the previous change walked into from the other side. Four cases in a new file, and the two halves have separate teeth: marking a fresh string without retaining it fails the three string cases ten runs in ten, and leaving a grown array's slots unwritten fails the fourth twelve in twelve. Neither probe touches the other's cases. Making them read a freed buffer reliably needed two things worth remembering: compare the whole string rather than its length, since a freed buffer keeps its length long after its bytes are gone; and dirty the heap with the same shape rather than in general, eight rounds of a scratch array of the same kind where a plain churn got three runs in four. 933/933. Ownership verifier unchanged at its two standing findings. raytrace at -O3 unchanged at 2.6 MB against gc's 4.2.

It checks that an acquired slot is given back on every path out of a function, which is the +*leak* direction. All 29 are faults - `0xC0000005`, `0xC0000374`, a breakpoint - which is the +over-release direction, and it cannot see that at all. + +#### The configuration columns are not four bugs + +Running all 29 under `rc` in all four combinations of `{-O0, -O3} x {default library, none}`: + +| how many configurations fault | files | +| --- | --- | +| all four | 11 | +| some but not all | 18 | + +The 18 are the point. A use-after-free that passes is a use-after-free that got away with it, and +what the columns vary is the heap layout, not the program's ownership. `00array3` faults with the +default library at both optimisation levels and passes without it; `01map` is the exact opposite +of `00spread`; `00generator4` faults at `-O3` only, and on one run it faulted, on the next it +hung, and on a third it came back with a failed `assert` - the same bug wearing three symptoms. +So the honest count is not 16, or 22, or 29: it is that **29 files break the memory model and 18 +of them only break it sometimes**, which is what this class of bug looks like from outside. + +#### Three of them reduce + +The 29 are not 29 bugs. Three reductions, each `rc`-only, each 10 runs in 10: + +**A generator that iterates another generator**, at `-O3`, with or without the default library: + +```ts +function* inner() { yield 1; yield 2; } +function* g() { for (const o of inner()) yield o; } +function main() { for (const x of g()) print(x); print("done."); } +``` + +Faults before printing anything. `yield* inner()` and an inline `(function*(){...})()` fault the +same way; one generator on its own is fine, and `-O0` is fine. + +**A `for...of` element that is itself a reference**, with the default library, at either +optimisation level: + +```ts +const a = [[1], [2]]; +for (const v of a) print(v.length); +``` + +Also faults before printing. A single-level `for...of` is fine and `a.length` on the same array +is fine, so it is the loop variable taking an element that owns something. `--no-default-lib` +hides it because it routes `for...of` over an array through the built-in intrinsic loop instead +of the library's iterator protocol. + +**`await`**, in all four configurations, and the only one of the three that gets the answer +right first: + +```ts +async function f() { return 1; } +function main() { const r = await f(); print(r); print("done."); } +``` + +Prints `1` and `done.` and then dies of heap corruption on the way out - a double free at +teardown. Calling `f()` without awaiting it is fine, so the `await` is what frees something +twice. + +Between them these cover the generator/iterator cluster (`00generator4/5/6`, +`00funcs_expression_iterator`, `01iterator`, `00iterator_bug`), the array-iteration cluster +(`00array3`, `00for_of`, `19forof`, `01map`, `00tuple_with_array`, `arrayLiterals`) and the +coroutine pair (`00async_await`, `00for_await`). The rest - object destructuring, union +narrowing, class statics, and the two whole programs `nbody` and `raytrace` - has not been +reduced. + +#### Two things about measuring this + +**Sweep the configuration the suite uses, not a configuration.** A missing `--no-default-lib` +manufactured 20 failures; a missing `--opt --opt_level=3` hid 13 real ones. The recipe worth +keeping is: sweep both configurations under both models, diff, and read only the rc-only column. +That is what turns the sweep into a to-do list. This is the second time the sweep's own command +line was the bug - §9.36 lost 43 files to a missing `--shared-libs`. + +**Read exit codes in PowerShell, not in bash.** A Windows fault code does not survive bash's +8-bit exit status. The `await` reduction reported `0/10` failures through a bash `||` and +`10/10` - every one of them `-1073740940` - through `Start-Process`'s `ExitCode`. The one that +reads clean is the wrong one. + +Nothing was changed in this slice. 933/933, verifier unchanged at its two standing findings. From c05804e266d78013e0795c9128816126ea3d7e7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ASDAlexander77 Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 14:29:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 41/99] Give a generator's unwritten local a value the retain can survive The sweep's largest cluster looked like a generator that iterates another generator, but the inner generator was not part of it. One local is enough: function* g() { const a = [1]; yield a[0]; } Under -mm=rc at -O2 and above this printed nothing at all, and the reason it printed nothing is that main had been compiled to a single `unreachable`. A generator's locals are fields of a state object, and the ramp function builds and retains that object before the body has ever run, so every field is still unwritten when the retain walks it. An unwritten field lowered to undef, the retain stepped back eight bytes from it to read a refcount, and reading through undef is undefined behaviour - which the optimizer is entitled to propagate outward until nothing is left of the caller. That is also why -O0 and -O1 appeared to work. The release side would have been worse had anything reached it: tearing the object down decrements a refcount at a garbage address and frees whatever block it lands in. An unspecified field of an owning type now lowers to zero instead. Null is the value the rest of the model already handles - both the increment and the decrement test for it - so the retain at construction and the release at teardown are no-ops, and the first real write to the field takes ownership the way any field store does. gc and none are untouched. Nine files across the two swept configurations, with nothing newly broken: the bare sweep 117 to 115, the suite's own flags 109 to 102. Three of the nine have no generator in them, because any const tuple with an unwritten owning field was hitting this. The -O3-with-the-default-library cell that the previous change identified as never swept is swept here for the first time - 117 against gc's 101, sixteen rc-only, and the one file it surfaces that the other cells never showed was already broken there before this change. Across all three configurations the rc-only set goes 29 to 22. One file has to be reported rather than counted. 01map broke in two of the four cells before and breaks in two after, but not the same two, both measured with repetitions on both sides. Turning undef into null cannot manufacture an over-release, but it does change what the optimizer emits and therefore where everything lands, and 01map still carries its own bug. Eighteen of the twenty-nine were already known to depend on the configuration that way. Five cases in a new file, each keeping a reference-typed local alive across a suspension. Lowering the field back to undef fails all five under rc at -O3, six runs in six, and nothing under gc, under none, or at -O0 - which is the right shape, since what turns undefined behaviour into a fault is an optimizer willing to act on it, and the tier with teeth is the one ctest runs. The fix makes something measurable that used to crash, and it is not good. A generator with a local and no parameter costs rc 2.6 to 3.7 MB over 500k iterations, against gc's 2.6 to 4.1. The same generator with a parameter costs 22.7 or 46.3. The parameter is the whole variable: it makes the coroutine capture, the box becomes a field of the state object, and the object's release routine does not walk that field - the same predicate that left the field un-zeroed here. A generator yielding a freshly built string costs more than none does. Filed as 5z. 937/937. Ownership verifier unchanged at its two standing findings. raytrace at -O3 is 2.6 MB against gc's 4.2 and none's 108.9.

Three fixes, and the first two are the same mistake made twice. A string literal has carried the immortal block header since step 4a, so that a pointer to a literal and a pointer to a heap string are the same shape and a release can tell them apart. An array literal carried nothing. Bind one of its elements to a loop variable and the retain reads the word in front of a read-only global, and the release writes it. Constant arrays now get the same header, and the pointer handed back points past it. That fixed -O0 and left -O3 faulting, for a reason worth keeping: three i32 want sixteen-byte alignment, so the unpacked block struct padded and the payload started two words after the header rather than one. A single-element and a two-element inner array were fine and a three-element one was not, which is why the nested case printed 1 2 3 and then died. A header is only a header if it is exactly one word in front, and a payload's own alignment is enough to break that, so the struct is packed. Still faulting from -O1 up, with the last line printed lost to an unflushed buffer. The caller of an iterator retains the result before it looks at done, and on the final call the value is `undefined` coerced to the element type, which was materialised as undef. That is the previous change's bug wearing different clothes - this time the undef is a runtime phi rather than a constant, which is why -O0 survived it: the value sat in an alloca holding something benign until mem2reg replaced it. `undefined` as an array is now the empty array, and any undef of a type that owns heap memory is null. Nothing newly broken in any of the three swept configurations: bare 115 to 106, the suite's flags 102 to 97, -O3 with the default library 117 to 107. Across the three the rc-only set goes 22 to 12. That is the whole of the predicted cluster plus five files nobody had attributed to it, and 01map - the file the previous change had to report rather than count - is clean in all four cells now. Seven cases in a new file, and each change reverted on its own fails a different set. Two need the default library, one needs -O3 and the library, and the fourth - a generator yielding object literals - fails with and without it. That last one is the only reason this file has teeth in the tier ctest actually runs, which compiles with --no-default-lib. It is item 5y in miniature. One residual, filed as 5aa: iterating a literal array 900k times with the default library costs rc 15.6 MB against gc's 4.1 and none's 155.9, so rc reclaims about nine tenths and holds the rest. The gap grows sublinearly, which looks more like a high-water mark than an unbounded leak, but it is not explained. Iterating heap-built rows is flat at 2.6, equal to gc. 941/941. Ownership verifier unchanged at its two standing findings. raytrace at -O3 is 2.6 MB against gc's 4.2 and none's 99.3.

That none failed is the whole diagnosis: none frees nothing at all, so this was never a double free and never reference counting's. The frame is asked for with aligned_alloc and released with plain free, which is the C11 pairing and is right everywhere aligned_alloc exists. MSVC has none, so the runtime supplied one built on _aligned_malloc - whose memory may only go back through _aligned_free. Every awaited call allocated its frame on one heap and released it on another. gc never showed it, because GCPass rewrites the whole pair to GC_memalign and GC_free and the two agree again. Windows' own malloc is aligned to sixteen bytes where the frame wants eight, so the shim now serves the request from the ordinary heap and the pairing is honest. Asking for more alignment than malloc gives is the one thing it cannot do and stay free-compatible, so it says so rather than handing back something quietly wrong. Fixing that in the JIT showed that the ahead-of-time path had never worked at all: -mm=rc and -mm=none could not link an executable that awaited anything, because nothing defines aligned_alloc, and -mm=gc could only because the call had been renamed away. Nothing had noticed, because the AOT tier of the suite runs the default model only. The static library the linker is given now defines the symbol itself. Two files fixed in each of the three swept configurations, and the two that looked broken are not: one timed out because four sweeps were running at once and passes six runs in six on its own, and the other fails six in six both before and after - which also corrects the previous change's report, where a single lucky run had put it in the fixed column. The rc-only set across the three configurations goes 12 to 11, ten of them real. And none now has no failure that gc does not share, which is the first time any model but gc has been clean against the corpus. Six cases in a new file. Putting _aligned_malloc back fails rc and none three runs in three and leaves gc clean; taking the symbol out of the static library stops rc and none linking and leaves gc linking. Every awaited function in the file is parameterless and returns a number, because passing an argument to one does not compile in any model, and neither does returning anything else. Filed as 5ab. 50k awaits at -O3 cost gc 7.9 MB, rc 7.6 and none 7.7: the frame is freed by the coroutine's own destroy path in every model, so awaiting costs the same in all three. Measuring it turned up two more, neither this change's - gc faults on a long chain of coroutine frames, in both link configurations, and an -mm=rc executable that prints a number exits 1 with correct output, ahead-of-time only and with no async involved. Filed as 5ac and 5ad. 945/945. Ownership verifier unchanged at its two standing findings, necessarily - nothing in the compiler changed, only the runtime libraries. raytrace at -O3 is 2.6 MB against gc's 4.2.

The ahead-of-time tier is a real one - it compiles, links and runs the executable - but it has only ever run the default model, so a fault had to be wrong in the default model and in the JIT before the suite would say so. The last three were neither, and all three were found by a sweep script living in a scratch directory. Every single-file test the default model runs is now run again, in the same tier, under rc and under none, and so is every shared-component pair. It is not a second list to keep in step with the first: the entries that already exist are the list, and the new tiers are a loop over it, so a file added for the default model arrives in all three at once. 945 tests become 2,585 and ctest -j 12 goes from 19 seconds to about 50, which is to say the suite was never the reason not to do this. Ten files fail, all under rc, all in both tiers, and not one of them under none - the shape of a reference-counting fault rather than a latent one. Nine corrupt the heap and one just gets the wrong answer. They are registered and disabled rather than left out or expected to fail. Left out, nothing in the build would say what is broken. WILL_FAIL does not hold, because a corrupted heap does not always land: one of them fails six runs in six on its own and came up clean once in three runs of the suite, where twelve tests at a time give the allocator a different history, and a WILL_FAIL test that passes turns the suite red. They are 5ae. Two faults in the harness on the way in. A failing assert in a JIT run was a hang and not a failure: the call lands in ucrtbase, whose answer to a failed assertion is a modal message box, and the harness then waits on a window nobody is there to close. It had never come up, because until now every JIT test passed. jit.cpp already binds puts and malloc away from ucrtbase for the same kind of reason, and _assert now joins them, pointed at a shim that writes the message to stderr and exits; the ahead-of-time path was never affected, because the generated executable's own CRT sees a console application. And the shared-component runner appended --gctors-as-method with no separator, so the first shared test ever to carry a second flag asked for --mm=rc--gctors-as-method, and 26 pairs failed to build. tslang.exe also asks Windows not to raise the error-reporting dialog on a fault, which is worth about twenty seconds a run: the crashing tests were sitting in the reporting UI, three times over with the harness's retries. One more file is not listed. 13actions.ts failed once under rc ahead of time in ten runs of the whole suite, and passes sixteen runs in sixteen on its own in both tiers under all three models, so whatever it is needs the load. One sighting is not enough to disable a file on. 2,565/2,565 over six consecutive runs, with the ten disabled. The ownership verifier is unchanged at its two standing findings, necessarily - nothing in the compiler changed, only the harness and the driver.

Two corrupts the heap, at -O3, under rc and nothing else. A capture box owns the cell of every variable it closes over, and gives it back when the bound function goes, so building one has to take a reference to the cell first. The frame that declares the variable does that. A closure inside a closure did not: the retain was emitted only for a ts.Variable, a ts.Param and a ts.ParamOptional - the three shapes that also have to be marked as captured, because being captured is what turns a variable's storage into a cell. A cell inherited through this function's own capture box is none of those. It was marked where it was declared, and here it arrives as a load of a box field, so it fell through to the branch whose comment reads "nothing was marked" - a true observation with the wrong conclusion drawn from it. The inner box owns the cell all the same. isCapturedCellSlot, which already had to recognise assignment through such a reference, is what names the shape. Two of the nine files: 25lamdacapture.ts and raytrace.ts, both from 6-in-6 to 0-in-10 in each tier. The two that fail about one run in ten are unchanged at one in ten and the other seven are unchanged outright. The second of the two matters more than the count, because it is the benchmark this document has quoted since the closure-capture step. Every stored rc raytrace binary from that step onwards is still on disk and every one of them exits with a corrupted heap, zero lines of output and a peak of 2.6 MB. That 2.6 MB is what has been written down as "below gc's own 4.2" through five slices; it is how far a crashing program got. The measuring script printed the peak and never the exit code. The real figures, now that the program finishes, are about 63 MB against gc's 4.4 and none's 98 - reference counting reclaims roughly a third of what the program leaks without it, not all of it. The per-shape numbers stand, because those programs completed. The whole-program case has to be made again, and is filed as 5af. Six cases in a new file, every one of which fails three runs in three with the retain removed. Two of them had to be rewritten to get there: a nested closure called on the spot inside a loop is folded away at -O3, so the inner box never exists and there is nothing to mis-release. Handing the inner closure back instead makes the box real. It is registered the way the corpus now allows - two entries for the default model, one line in the corpus list, and the loop supplies the other four. 2,573/2,573 over three consecutive runs. The ownership verifier is unchanged at its two standing findings and could not have been otherwise: an over-release is invisible to a pass that looks for references acquired and never given back.

It is how far a crashing program got. + +`measure5q.ps1` printed the peak working set and not the exit code. §9.38 wrote down that a +Windows fault code does not survive bash's eight-bit exit status, so read exit codes in +PowerShell; the same lesson had to be learned one level up, where the script does read them and +simply never says so. **A measurement script prints the exit code, or the measurement is of +nothing in particular.** + +What the real numbers say is less flattering and more useful: on the whole program `rc` reclaims +about a third of what `none` leaks, and sits at fourteen times `gc`. The per-shape numbers in +§9.29-§9.37 stand - those were measured on programs that completed - but the whole-program claim +does not, and 5af is now what is left of it. + +#### Teeth + +`00owned_nested_captures.ts`, six cases; with the retain removed, every one of them fails three +runs in three.

Handing the inner closure back instead +makes the box real and the case bites. The lesson is the older one in a new place: **a case that +passes with the fix reverted is not a case**, and at `-O3` the reason is often that the optimiser +deleted the thing under test. + +The file is registered the way the corpus now allows: two entries for the default model, one line +in `TSLANG_CORPUS`, and the loop supplies the other four. + +2,573/2,573 over three consecutive runs.

What it did not do is tell anything else to stop, and the dialect for 00class_static.ts's static method says the rest in three lines: the object arrives as an owned result nobody claimed, delete releases it, and the end of the block releases it again because that is what happens to an unclaimed temporary. delete is a claim, so it now says so, with the same mark an assignment makes when a slot takes a reference over. There is a second way to release the same reference twice, and `let c = new C(); delete c;` has it: the variable has real storage, the delete works from a load of that slot, and the slot is released again on the way out. Storing null into it makes the second release a no-operation, since every release routine checks its pointer first. The store is a raw one on purpose - the assignment path would retain and release around it. 00class_static.ts goes from six-in-six to zero-in-six in both tiers. Five of the ten are closed. One case in the new file fails three runs in three with the fix reverted, and the other four double-free without anything noticing. That is worth recording, because the four written first were all of that kind and the instinct behind them was wrong in an interesting way. A freed block keeps its contents until something is allocated over it, so the rule for an over-release is delete, allocate hard, then read. For a double free the rule is backwards: allocating in between hands the block to somebody else, and the second free then quietly corrupts a live object instead of tripping the allocator on a block still sitting in its own free list. The case that faults is the one that frees twice with nothing in between and then builds two strings on the free list it just made inconsistent. The other four stay as shape coverage and the file says which is which. A case holding a second reference to a deleted object had to go: delete means something different in each model, freeing outright under gc and none where the other reference then dangles, and giving up one owner under rc where the object survives. It failed in all three for that reason. 2,587/2,587 over three consecutive runs. The ownership verifier is unchanged at its two standing findings.

That method has no source and so no `return` statement - it is built op by op, and its ReturnVal was created directly rather than through the path a return takes, so none of what a return does for ownership happened. The instance arrives as an owned result nobody claimed, the end-of-block release gives it back, and the block it is given back in is the one returning an interface over it. Every caller was handed memory that had already been freed; the reduction prints 0 instead of 42, freshly zeroed rather than garbage, because the allocator hands the same block straight back. The retain a return performs, applied after the cast to the declared return type, is the whole fix. 01class_new.ts goes from six-in-six to zero-in-six in both tiers, and six of the ten are closed. The first fix was somewhere else and it was wrong, which is worth recording. The class-to-interface cast marks nothing - no retain, no owned-result - while the object-literal path a hundred lines below it does both, and an interface that owns its `this` while taking no reference to it reads as exactly that omission. It changed nothing: reverting it and keeping only the return retain leaves every case passing, and each of the four cases that discriminate still corrupts the heap three runs in three with the return retain removed. So it is not here. A retain that balances only where the end-of-block release agrees to release is a leak everywhere that release declines - a use outside the block, a terminator user, a generator - and it would have been an invisible one on every cast in the program. Teeth measured per fix, not per slice: both changes were in the tree, the tests passed, and they would have gone on passing with the wrong one alone. What is left is deliberate. The synthesised method now classifies as returning owned, but the call reaching it goes through an interface slot, and that is left alone on purpose - the slot is filled by whichever class implements the interface, so reading the declaration as the callee would consume a reference some other implementation never took. So each `new C(...)` through a constructor interface leaks one instance, which is item 5o rather than this one. The new file's last three cases are the plain class-to-interface cast with no constructor interface in it. They discriminate nothing, because that path was already correct, and the file says which is which. 2,595/2,595 over three consecutive runs, up from 2,587. The ownership verifier is unchanged at its two standing findings.

An LLVM boolean option accepts an explicit value and an empty one parses as true, so `-nogc= -mm=rc` compiles `none` and says nothing about it. That is how the first round of the previous commit's reductions came back reporting that all six remaining reference-counting faults were already fixed, on a build where nothing had changed. Two spellings that disagree silently about which memory model is in force are worse than one spelling. The definition and its single read are gone, so the model is now just what `-mm` says, and an old invocation fails with an unknown-argument error rather than quietly picking a model. Every caller in the tree spells it out instead: the README's WASM example, the Visual Studio custom tool's property page and switch, the three WASM scripts, the Compiler Explorer wrapper's three call sites, and three launch configurations. The Compiler Explorer ids are left alone - they are names in a local instance's config, not flags. docs/jit-gc-static-roots.md is updated in all four places. Those are a reproduction recipe and a diagnostic checklist, not a record of what the flag once was, and a recipe that no longer runs is not a record of anything. 2,595/2,595.

Four boxes, one per cast into `any`, each retained once by the assignment and released once by the slot - `--emit=mlir-llvm` shows four calls to malloc and four to the release routine in main. At -O1 LLVM has three mallocs and four frees. At -O3 it has one malloc and two frees of it. The allocations go and the frees stay, and where two boxes hold the same constant the analysis conflates them, so what is left frees one block twice. That is what a box looks like to LLVM: a malloc whose pointer is stored into a slot SROA has promoted away, read back, and freed. Every use is visible, nothing escapes, so the allocation is removable - and it is the refcount code itself that makes it look that way. It is reference counting's alone for a plain reason. GCPass rewrites malloc to GC_malloc and drops the free, so under gc there is nothing to double, and under none there are no frees at all. Only -mm=rc hands LLVM a matched pair to reason about, which is a cost of step 6 nobody had priced. Filed as 5ah with two ways out. Allocating and freeing through runtime entry points that carry no alloc-family attribute would stop LLVM reasoning about these blocks at all - small, and it costs every legitimate elision of a short-lived box, which is not a small price for a memory model whose case rests on not paying for what it does not use. Giving a constant its box once is better: castToAny of a compile-time constant can address a module-level global with the immortal header, the way a static string has had one since 4a and a literal array since 5w. Then there is one box, nothing to free and nothing to conflate. It does not close the class - a box over a runtime value still hands LLVM a pair - but it closes what the corpus hits. Item 5ae now says which of its four remaining files are diagnosed.

It does no such thing. The box is gone before LLVM sees the module: generic CSE merges two structurally identical boxing casts on our own dialect, so the third assignment in let a: any = "abc"; a = true; a = false; a = true; stores a pointer to the box the second assignment had already released - a use-after-free, and a second free at the end of the block. `CastOp::getEffects` reported an allocation for one shape, `ConstArrayType` to `ArrayType`, which was found the same way and for the same reason. Casting to `AnyType` is the second: every such cast goes through `castToAny`, which always calls `MemoryAlloc`. Report it. Only a constant reaches the shape - two reads of a runtime value are two loads, so the casts over them differ - which is why interning constant boxes, 5ah's preferred way out, would have hidden every case rather than fixing any. `00mixed_type_ops.ts` is off the broken list and passes six runs in six in both tiers. The two wandering files now pass thirty JIT runs in thirty and still fail about one AOT run in six, so they stay disabled. Suite 2,597/2,597.

It is not one. A TypeScript `main` that returns nothing lowers to `void @main()`, and the C runtime that calls it reads an exit code out of the return register whatever the signature says. The exit code was whatever the last instruction left there: zero under `gc` and `none` by luck, 1 under `rc`, where the last thing `main` does is give back a reference. The entry point is now `i32 @main()` returning 0, in every model, for anything that is not a JIT run or a DLL. The test for "will be linked into an executable" is deliberately not `isExecutable` - that is only true for `--emit=exe`, and everything that links a program here uses `--emit=obj` and calls the linker itself, which is how the first version of this fix did nothing. A `main` returning a value is left alone and is still wrong the same way: it lowers to `double @main()`. That is a language question rather than a lowering one. The suite could not have caught this: it ran ahead-of-time programs and never looked at what they returned. The generated scripts now record %ERRORLEVEL% and the runner fails a test whose program exited non-zero, saying so even when the output was right. Two more runner faults on the way: every `throw` of a string literal was uncaught, since the handlers catch `const std::exception &`, so a failing test and every command-line mistake alike died at __fastfail with no message; and `-mm=gc` was rejected, so naming the default explicitly hit that same silent death.

The answer is about the module rather than the call: if every function here that hands back a heap value retains it first, then every call that returns one hands back a reference, whatever it dispatched to.

The doc also records where raytrace's remaining 43 MB is *not*: replacing `reduce` with a hand loop is worse (79.1), and cutting `getNaturalColor` leaves 5.7 against 40, so what is left is inside a function that builds a closure over six captured parameters, six cells, a box and a colour per light - and each of those measured alone comes back flat.

Creating a class instance had a shortcut for that pass: build the NewOp and return, "just to cut a lot of calls". It cut the constructor lookup, which is what it meant to cut, but it returned before the constructor arguments were walked, so nothing in them was ever seen. A variable read only inside `new C(...)`'s arguments was therefore never registered as captured. The real pass then emitted the read against the enclosing function's own value from inside the lambda, and ts.Func is IsolatedFromAbove, so the module failed to verify: "'ts.Load' op using value defined outside the region". It failed under gc, rc and none alike - the shortcut is older than any of the memory models. Keep the shortcut, walk the arguments anyway, and discard both the values and the errors: the errors are the shortcut's own, and discovery is best-effort. The ops land in the throwaway dummy function. The sibling paths were checked - `new` through a construct signature and `new` on an array both walk their arguments unconditionally. The test reads each captured thing ONLY inside the `new` arguments, because reading it anywhere else in the same lambda registers the capture and hides the bug entirely; one case does exactly that and is kept as the control. Against the unfixed compiler 8 of its 9 cases fail. Suite 2,623/2,623.

MLIR's async-to-LLVM conversion runs before this compiler's own types are lowered, and it converts an async value's payload with its own LLVMTypeConverter - which has none of the TypeScript conversions. A builtin payload passed straight through; anything from this dialect did not, and the compile failed with "failed to legalize operation 'async.runtime.load'". That was filed as "passing an argument to an awaited async function does not compile". Arguments had nothing to do with it. `i32`, `i64` and `f32` results compiled; `number`, `string`, `boolean`, a class and an array did not. The one async test in the suite passed because `f(a = 1)` returns the literal's `i32`. A token carries no payload, so give the async value nothing to convert: the awaiting function allocates a slot, the region stores into it, and awaiting the token is what orders that write before the read. Outlining already passes values the region uses from above in as arguments. Under reference counting the slot has to own what it holds. Everything the awaited expression produced is a temporary of the region's block, so the end-of-block release frees it as the region ends - before the awaiting function reads the slot. It read correctly at -O0 and garbage at -O3, which is only a question of what reused the block first. Same two cases as a local's declaration: a value already carrying a reference hands it over, anything else is retained, and the awaiting scope gives that reference back. The slot is marked owned only if the store actually happened - an owned slot is released whatever is in it.

It had been read as something about collection. It was not: a 1 GB initial heap, which leaves nothing to collect, changed nothing, while resuming the coroutine inline rather than on the thread pool made it stop. Boehm does not lock its allocator until it is told the program is multi-threaded - until set_need_to_lock() runs, LOCK() and UNLOCK() expand to nothing. Nothing had told it: the async runtime's workers are llvm::DefaultThreadPool's plain std::threads, created by nothing the collector knows about. So a worker handing a coroutine frame back with GC_free and the awaiting thread allocating walked the same free lists at once, unlocked. GC_allow_register_threads sets that flag, and is also the permission a thread needs before it may register itself. Both are wanted and they are separate: the call alone took 200k awaits from 1 failure in 4 to none in 32, with the workers still unregistered. Registration is what keeps a collection honest afterwards - a thread the collector has never heard of is not suspended and its stack is not scanned, so a frame held only in that worker's registers can be freed underneath it. The call is injected beside GC_init, because an ahead-of-time build links the collector's own GC_init and there is no hooking that, and because the GC pass runs only for `-mm=gc` - which is exactly when this is wanted. `rc` and `none` never initialize the collector, reach the registration with the flag false, and do nothing. The flag has to be our own, set by the call we make. GC_is_init_called looks like the same question and is not: the collector initializes itself on first use, so it answers yes in a program that never meant to collect anything, and registering there aborts. A first attempt used it and broke every `rc` and `none` await. Both copies of the async runtime, over a shared header - the one inside TypeScriptRuntime.dll that the JIT resolves against, and TypeScriptAsyncRuntime.lib that an ahead-of-time build links. Fixing one left the other, and the suite said so: the JIT tier passed while the compile tier faulted.

The end of the block is not the only way out of it: a `return` written inside an `if` leaves from a nested region and never reaches that release, so the value was lost on exactly the path most returns are written on. That was the whole of what `raytrace` had been holding. Its shadow test builds a ray per light per pixel in a function that returns early when the light is blocked, so the ray came back only on the path that fell through. 43.5 MB against `gc`'s 2.8 before, 6.2 after - 95% of what `none` leaks, reclaimed, up from 62%. The fix walks the ops after the definition in its block and releases before every return nested inside them. Returns only, and the walk is its own argument: everything it reaches sits inside a sibling of the definition, so a `break` or `continue` found that way targets a loop that does not contain the definition - control comes back and runs the end-of-block release as well, and releasing at both would give the same reference back twice. The reverse case, a temporary in a loop body whose iteration ends in a break, still leaks; telling the two apart needs the jump's target loop rather than its position. Filed as 5ak. Everything this had been suspected of was measured and cleared first: not the closure, not the Intersection literal through an interface, not the rays, not the vector arithmetic. Each of those moved `none` without moving `rc` at all. Two other fixes were needed to get there. The return statement reported "No return value" and then carried on to cast and retain it. Reading a null value's type faults with no diagnostic at all, which is why turning raytrace's Intersection into a class segfaulted the compiler in silence. A discovery pass reaching there is ordinary - a return expression can depend on something not registered yet - so the report has to be conditional and the failure unconditional. It was the other way round. With the crash gone, the diagnostic underneath it was a second instance of the gap closed on `new` last commit: a call whose callee cannot be resolved during discovery returned a placeholder without walking its arguments, so a variable read only there was never captured. Suite 2,641/2,641, corpus under all three models in both tiers - which is the guard against the new release being a second one.

What leaked raytrace's per-light ray was the discarded-temporary placement in OwnedReturnConsumptionPass. Hoisting the outward walk out of the "this scope owns nothing" guard in mlirGenReleaseOwned and mlirGenDisposable is defensive: no program has been found that needs it. Every block scope is given a list when it is created, so the walk was reaching the enclosing scopes anyway - an owned local plus a `return` out of an `if` measures 0.6 MB against `none`'s 13.9 either way, and raytrace is 6.2 either way. It is kept because the guard is the wrong shape for what it guards, and the comments now say exactly that. The control run that first said otherwise - 13.9, reclaiming nothing - was not the experiment it claimed to be: it disabled the outward walk entirely rather than restoring the original nesting, which is a strictly worse build than the bug. Restoring the actual original gives identical numbers. Recorded in section 9.60, because "turn the fix off" and "put the bug back" being different edits is the whole of the difference here.

The last commit left them alone on purpose: releasing at every jump is wrong in the other direction, because a jump caught by a loop BELOW the block comes back and runs the end-of-block release too, and releasing at both hands the same reference back twice. Both cases are real, and they are told apart by walking from the jump out to the block and asking what catches it: an unlabelled `break` by the nearest enclosing loop or switch, an unlabelled `continue` by the nearest enclosing loop, a labelled one by whatever carries that label. Position cannot stand in for that - `outer: while (..) { while (..) { break outer; } }` leaves two loops from inside one. A maker behind an interface, one iteration in four ending in a break: 13.9 MB against `none`'s 53.2 before, 0.6 after. raytrace is unchanged at 6.2. Verified by reading the IR, because a double release is invisible at run time - the second decrement reads a freed block's refcount and usually just returns. The five new cases in 00owned_early_return.ts emit two releases where the temporary is in the loop body (including through a labelled break out of two loops) and one where it is in the block above the loop.

Measured +with a maker behind an interface so the optimiser cannot elide it, one iteration in four ending in +a break: **13.9 MB against `none`'s 53.2**, and 0.6 after. But a temporary in the block that +*contains* the loop is a different case entirely: the `break` leaves only the loop, control comes +back, and the end-of-block release runs - a release at the jump as well would give the same +reference back twice. + +**The question, and how it is asked.** Walk from the jump outwards to the op that sits in the +temporary's block, asking at each level whether it catches the jump: an unlabelled `break` is +caught by the nearest enclosing loop or `switch`, an unlabelled `continue` by the nearest +enclosing loop, and a labelled one by whatever carries that label - which may be several levels +further out. Nothing on the way means the jump is caught beyond the block, so the block is inside +the loop being left. That last part is why position cannot stand in for it: +`outer: while (..) { while (..) { break outer; } }` leaves two loops from inside one. + +**How it is verified, given that a double release is invisible at run time.** By reading the IR +rather than the numbers: the count of `ts.Release` in each shape says which way the predicate +answered. + +| shape | releases | +| --- | --- | +| temporary in the loop body, `break` | 2 - one at the jump, one at the end of the body | +| temporary in the loop body, `continue` | 2 | +| temporary in the inner body, `break outer` | 2 | +| temporary above the loop, `break` below it | 1 - end of block only | +| temporary above the loop, `continue` below it | 1 | + +Those five are in `00owned_early_return.ts`, and the last two are the ones that matter: a test +cannot observe the double release they guard against - the second decrement reads a freed block's +refcount and usually just returns - so the IR count is the evidence, and the corpus under `rc` and +`none` in both tiers is the backstop.

The inner cleanup's `[Symbol.dispose]()` therefore became an invoke unwinding to +the *outer* cleanup, and the `ts.ReleaseSlot` written after it was stepped over. The outer cleanup +releases its own slot and knows nothing of the inner one, so the reference is gone: + +``` +^bb8: // the inner scope's cleanup + ts.Invoke(dispose, inner)[^bb9, ^bb12] // ^bb12 is the OUTER cleanup +^bb9: + ts.ReleaseSlot(inner) // not on the ^bb12 edge +^bb12: + ts.CallInternal(dispose, outer) + ts.ReleaseSlot(outer) // and never inner +``` + +**The fix is to remove the edge, not to add a release.** `^bb12` above is the function's outermost +cleanup, and it has always used a plain call - nothing encloses it, so there was no landing pad to +mark it with. Every cleanup now agrees with the one that was already right: a call written inside +a nested cleanup region is skipped when a scope marks its body, so it stays a plain call. +`isInsideNestedCleanupRegion` in `LowerToAffineLoops.cpp` is the whole change. The price is the +C++ rule - a disposal that throws while unwinding terminates instead of continuing outwards - and +it is a price only in principle: throwing from a `[Symbol.dispose]()` does not work at all today. +A single, un-nested `using` whose disposal throws fails to JIT on a missing `??_7type_info@@6B@` +in every model, which is why no test could be written for the path this fixes. + +**The first attempt was the obvious one and it was wrong.** Wrap the cleanup's disposals in a +catch-less `TryOp` of their own whose cleanup gives the references back - correct by construction, +and it silenced the verifier.

The second is the double disposal: the body's own +disposal is a call in the try body, so it unwinds to that same cleanup, and the cleanup disposes +the very same variable again - the second throw arriving while the first is still unwinding, which +terminates. + +**One guard answers both, because they are one question asked twice.** A boolean beside the +hoisted slot, declared in front of the `TryOp` with the slot so the cleanup can see it, set false +there and true only after the initializing store; every disposal reads it, clears it, and disposes +only if it was set. Cleared **before** the call rather than after it, which is the whole of the +first defect - after the call is never reached when the call is what threw. `mlirGenDisposeOne` is +the change; a `using` in a plain block has no `TryOp`, no cleanup, no second visitor, and so no +guard. + +``` +%5 = ts.Variable() // the using slot, hoisted +%7 = ts.Variable(false) // its guard, hoisted beside it +ts.Try { + %11 = call @Boom..new; call @Boom.constructor // throws here -> cleanup, guard still false + ts.Store(%11, %5) + ts.Store(true, %7) // armed only now + ... + ts.If(load %7) { store false, %7; call dispose } // throws here -> cleanup, guard now false + ts.ReleaseSlot(%5) +} cleanup { + ts.If(load %7) { store false, %7; call dispose } + ts.ReleaseSlot(%5) +} +``` + +`ts.ReleaseSlot` needs no guard and gets none: the reference is owed exactly once whichever way +the block is left, and an owned local hoisted in front of a `TryOp` already starts as null under +`rc` (`VariableOpLowering`), which the release routines treat as nothing to do. The two debts are +different debts - a disposal is a call the program wrote, a release is a count - and only one of +them is idempotent in the wrong direction. + +**`00using_unwind_progress.ts` is the test, and every case in it was checked against a build with +the fix taken back out** - not with the fix switched off, which 9.60 records as a different and +worse build, but with the three files restored to their committed state. Six cases, three models: + +| case | control build | with the fix | +| --- | --- | --- | +| normal exit disposes once | passes | passes | +| throw after the declaration, cleanup disposes | passes | passes | +| constructor throws | `0xE06D7363` / assert | passes | +| second of two constructors throws | `0x80000003` / assert | passes | +| disposal throws | `0x80000003` | passes | +| the same in a hand-written `try` body | `0xE06D7363` / assert | passes | + +The first two are controls in the strict sense: they are what a fix that simply skipped the +cleanup would break, and they pass on both builds. The fourth is why "skip everything" is not the +fix - one declaration completed and owes a disposal, the next never existed. And the `none` column +is the reason to run all three models rather than one: where `gc` and `rc` crash, `none` reaches +the assertion and names the case, because an uninitialised slot holds something different under +each allocator. Same bug, three faces - the pattern of section 9.55. + +Suite 2,649 -> 2,659, all green, ownership verifier included. diff --git a/tslang/include/TypeScript/DOM.h b/tslang/include/TypeScript/DOM.h index b33b9685e..a254c0caa 100644 --- a/tslang/include/TypeScript/DOM.h +++ b/tslang/include/TypeScript/DOM.h @@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ class VariableDeclarationDOM bool captured; bool ignoreCapturing; bool _using; + mlir::Value disposeGuard; public: using TypePtr = std::shared_ptr; @@ -105,6 +106,19 @@ class VariableDeclarationDOM _using = value; } + // A boolean slot saying whether this `using` declaration currently holds something that + // still owes a `[Symbol.dispose]()`.

This change resolves issues where the right operand was coerced to the left operand's type, leading to incorrect results in various scenarios. - Introduced a new `numericPromotionOrder` method to define the order of type promotion for numeric types. - Enhanced the `OwnedReturnConsumptionPass` to correctly classify imported functions that return owned references, allowing for proper memory management across module boundaries. - Added regression tests to ensure the correct behavior of the `+` operator and to verify that imported function results are handled correctly without memory leaks. - Registered new tests for both static and shared builds to cover the changes made in ownership handling and arithmetic operations. --- scripts/measure_memory_model.ps1 | 13 +- tslang/docs/reference-counting-evaluation.md | 180 ++++++++++++++++-- tslang/lib/TypeScript/MLIRGenImpl.h | 87 ++++++++- .../TypeScript/OwnedReturnConsumptionPass.cpp | 45 ++++- tslang/test/tester/CMakeLists.txt | 23 +++ tslang/test/tester/test-runner.cpp | 20 +- .../tests/00add_promotes_both_operands.ts | 66 +++++++ .../test/tester/tests/export_owned_returns.ts | 32 ++++ .../test/tester/tests/import_owned_returns.ts | 62 ++++++ 9 files changed, 499 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tslang/test/tester/tests/00add_promotes_both_operands.ts create mode 100644 tslang/test/tester/tests/export_owned_returns.ts create mode 100644 tslang/test/tester/tests/import_owned_returns.ts diff --git a/scripts/measure_memory_model.ps1 b/scripts/measure_memory_model.ps1 index 9fa816065..08a65a21c 100644 --- a/scripts/measure_memory_model.ps1 +++ b/scripts/measure_memory_model.ps1 @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ # What section 9.52 insists on and is kept: the exit code is printed.

Measuring a +control binary - the compiler rebuilt with the fix stashed - found the same truncation in two +more shapes it had not looked at, and both are silent wrong answers rather than crashes: + +| expression | before | after | +| --- | --- | --- | +| `i + f`, `2 + 3.5` | 5 | 5.5 | +| `1 + (-0.5)` | 1 | 0.5 | +| `true + 2.5` | **2** | 3.5 | +| `i8(100) + i32(1000)` | **76** | 1100 | + +76 is 1100 truncated into an `i8`. So this was never about floats: it was `+` narrowing its +right operand to the left one's type in *any* direction, and a float fraction was simply the +easiest way to notice. `f + i`, `2.5 + true` and `i32 + i8` were all correct already, because +there the left operand was the wider one - which is exactly why a test written from one +direction only would have passed. + +The control also settled a case that looked like a regression and was not: `any + number` fails +to compile ("Binary operation is not supported for type: '!llvm.ptr'"), before this change and +after it, identically. + +`00add_promotes_both_operands.ts` covers all of it, in the corpus so it runs under all three +memory models and both optimisation levels. Five of its cases fail on the control and the rest +are guards, which is the composition to want - the guards are the string-concatenation cases the +left-preferring rule exists for. + +### 9.71 An imported function's result is taken over (5al) + +Fixed, and it was worth much more than the item said. + +5al was filed as a classification refusal with a soundness question attached: +`functionReturnsOwned` reads a function's returns to decide whether it hands back a reference, +an imported function has no body here to read, so every one of them was refused. The item then +stalled on whether consuming such a result is sound at all, since a statically linked module +carries no memory-model marker. + +**First, the size of it, which nobody had measured.** A two-module program whose work is an +imported method returning a string, 300k calls, AOT, `--opt --opt_level=3`: + +| | before | after | +| --- | --- | --- | +| `rc` | **18.0 MB** | **3.8 MB** | +| `gc` | 5.7 | 5.4 | +| `none` | 18.0 | 17.6 | + +`rc` and `none` agreed *to the decimal* before this. Across a module boundary, reference +counting was reclaiming nothing whatsoever - not "less than it could", nothing - and it now +reclaims more than GC does on the same program. That is a different item from the one filed, +which read as a precision refinement worth a couple of calls. + +It is also not confined to imported functions. The candidate set for a virtual call is every +method in the module sharing the member name, so a single bodyless imported `M.Animal.speak` +made `Dog.speak()` unclassifiable too, on a class defined entirely in this module. + +**Second, the soundness, which turned out to be already provided.** Two things have to hold. + +That the callee is a tslang function rather than a foreign one is easy and was always easy: an +imported tslang declaration carries `export`, re-printed from the exporting module's source; a +`declare`d C function returning a `string` carries nothing and must never be consumed. + +That the defining module returns +1 (section 9.24) is the part the item stalled on. Two +measurements answer it. Sweeping the corpus with a counter on the classifier: of the functions +that return a heap value, **36 of 36 exported ones with a body classify as returning owned**, +and the only 16 that fail are `.next` methods of generator state objects - anonymous, internal, +and not exportable. And for the mixed link the item was actually worried about, consumption +*removes a receiver's retain* rather than adding a release, so a foreign block's count goes to +-1, which is `HEAP_BLOCK_IMMORTAL`, and it leaks instead of being freed. That is section 4's +agreed policy, and the born-at-zero design of section 9.24 was already delivering it. + +All nine exporter/importer model combinations were run to check that, and all nine produce the +right answer and exit 0. The two mixed rows that matter hold their memory - `none` into `rc` at +18.0 MB - rather than crashing. + +**A change I made and then took back out.** Believing the mixed link needed protecting, I had +`_MemoryAlloc` write `HEAP_BLOCK_IMMORTAL` under `gc` and `none` instead of leaving the header +word as `malloc` found it, so that a counting importer could never read an uninitialised count. +The argument is still sound on paper, and the code carries a deliberate decision the other way +("a store per allocation on the hot path is not worth paying for dead code"). But across eleven +measured configurations - the nine-way matrix plus two tests built to detect a premature free, +one of them deliberately filling the allocator's free lists with the value 1 first - **it made +no observable difference to anything**, so it was reverted rather than shipped on reasoning. +Reversing a deliberate hot-path decision needs a failing case, and three attempts did not +produce one. + +**Coverage.** `import_owned_returns.ts` / `export_owned_returns.ts`: an imported method, a local +override of one, virtual dispatch to that override, a method through an imported interface, and +a plain imported function - results held, allocated over, then read back, because a freed block +keeps its contents until something reuses it. Registered under all three models both statically +and shared. The teeth are not hypothetical: this test's assertion fires for real, on 5ao below. + +**Two things found on the way, both pre-existing.** + +5ao. **A shared library built `gc` and linked ahead of time frees strings the importing module + still holds.** `test-compile-shared-export-import-owned-returns`, registered and DISABLED. + It fails with 5al's fix reverted as well, so it is not that fix's doing, and every + neighbouring configuration passes: the same test shared under `rc` and under `none`, + statically linked under `gc`, and shared under `gc` through the JIT. Only shared plus `gc` + plus AOT. That shape points at Boehm not tracing the importing module's roots into a + dynamically linked module's heap. DISABLED rather than WILL_FAIL because it produces + corrupted memory rather than a clean failure. + +- **The plain multi-file test path had no working-directory isolation.** Object files are named + after the source stems, so two tests built from the same pair of sources - the `gc`, `rc` and + `none` variants of one import/export pair - delete each other's `.obj` under `ctest -j`. This + stayed hidden only because every such pair had been registered exactly once, which is also why + **the statically linked two-module form had no `rc` or `none` coverage at all** - the exact + configuration whose leak went unmeasured until now. `createMultiCompileBatchFile` now creates + the same per-test directory the shared path has created for this reason all along. It showed + up as a single failure in a full parallel run that passed when run alone; four consecutive + full runs are clean since. + +**Suite 2,680 of 2,680**, one disabled (5ao). Cross-module `rc` 4.1 MB against `gc`'s 5.7 and +`none`'s 18.0. + +**One stale number, unrelated to either fix.** Section 9.60 records `raytrace` at 6.2 MB. It +measures **8.9 MB at HEAD with both fixes stashed**, and 9.2 with them applied - so the 0.3 is +this work and the 2.7 is not. Something between section 9.60 and here moved it and the section +was never re-measured; worth a look, and worth not quoting 6.2 in the meantime. diff --git a/tslang/lib/TypeScript/MLIRGenImpl.h b/tslang/lib/TypeScript/MLIRGenImpl.h index d66141d99..7ace93d0f 100644 --- a/tslang/lib/TypeScript/MLIRGenImpl.h +++ b/tslang/lib/TypeScript/MLIRGenImpl.h @@ -5378,6 +5378,36 @@ class MLIRGenImpl return mlir::success(); } + // The order the arithmetic operators promote in, widest first: the first type either + // operand already has is the one both are cast to.

Only the entry point was missing - the initializers already ran from the global constructors. hasGlobalCode keeps driving the deferral decision unchanged: it is also processStatements' isRoot argument, and isRoot holds root variables back from the module level so they can be re-emitted inside the entry function. Counting variable statements there instead moves them out of the module scope the file's own functions resolve against, which breaks a root `const` arrow function and a decorated root `let`. The entry-point decision is now separate. Both guards are needed. A root that only declares things gets none, because that is what a library looks like and its object is linked beside a program with a main of its own. isExecutable is not the test: it is set only by --emit=exe, while everything that links a program uses --emit=obj and drives the linker itself, so a DLL is excluded instead. The test's output comes from a constructor, since any expression statement at the root would build an entry function for its own sake and stop testing this. The variables are exported to survive --opt_level=3, which otherwise drops unused globals and their constructors, side effect and all.

Every error path here therefore aborted with a crash backtrace instead of reporting: a missing entry point printed its message and then "PLEASE submit a bug report". std::move(err) did not help, since it still binds to const Error&. Only visible where LLVM_ENABLE_ABI_BREAKING_CHECKS is on, so debug aborted while release printed one clean line. consumeError rather than toString: both consume, but referencing the out-of-line toString made test-jit-rc-corpus-03union-type double-free deterministically in debug. That code cannot run on a successful lookup, and the AOT sibling of that test already fails on the baseline, so the file has a pre-existing rc bug the JIT variant was passing by luck - left as it is here.

A union carries its members in a slot sized for the largest, so when it holds a smaller one everything above it is uninitialized - and under -mm=rc those bytes were walked as string pointers. 03union_type.ts faulted ahead of time for as long as rc has existed. None of that work belonged in the condition to begin with: the discriminant is loaded once before the first case and shared by all of them, so the comparison never read the narrowed value. The only consumer is the case body, which is also the only place the tag is known to match. The regression test is an ordinary well-typed program; the ill-typed literal in 03union_type.ts was never the cause, it only pushed control past the big case. It takes the same route by testing the largest member first, and needs that member to hold references - a bigger member of only numbers gives the reference counting nothing to walk. It faults without this change and has teeth only at -O0, since the optimizer drops the dead extraction at higher levels.

Every library root initializes a variable, so a library grew an empty `main` too - visible as a stray `define i32 @main()` under --emit=llvm and --emit=mlir, and fatal for --emit=obj: two library objects linked side by side failed with "lld-link: error: duplicate symbol: main". The emit action cannot answer this. --emit=obj compiles the program and every library linked beside it, and a library root initializing a variable looks exactly like a program root doing the same, so there is nothing in the action to tell them apart. --emit=jit and --emit=exe do say it by themselves; everything else has to be told, which is what --entry-point is for. A DLL never gets one whatever is asked: its root initialization runs from the global constructors and there is no program here to enter. The test runner passes the flag on the single-file object line, and for the first file only of each multi-file and shared build - the first file is the program, the same one --emit=jit runs. Emitting the stub as weak_odr in a comdat was tried instead and rejected: two weak stubs do coexist, but a weak stub still collides with a real strong `main`, so linkage does not get out of the program-vs-library question either. The new test needs both halves to carry a root variable statement and no root code, or the library half stops being a library. Its teeth were checked by passing --entry-point to both halves, which reproduces the duplicate symbol.
