quasiimmut watcher fixes; the for_iter gate's loop region as the backedge's natural loop - #1391
Conversation
`quasi_immut_descr` mints a `RecordedQuasiImmut` per read, so the three sites deduping with `Arc::ptr_eq` compared two distinct handles and never matched: repeated markers for one instance each pushed an entry and registered the same loop again. `heap.py` keys `quasi_immutable_deps` by the `QuasiImmut` itself, and the `(owner pointer, descr index)` key this replaced deduplicated it too. `QuasiImmutHandle` gains `instance_identity`, which the adapter answers with the address of the `Arc<QuasiImmut>` it holds; optimizer.rs, mod.rs and unroll.rs compare that instead. optimizeopt/mod.rs already documented the field as "keyed on instance identity". `merge_quasi_immutable_deps` gets a unit test that asserts its two handles are distinct before merging them, so it reports 2 against an expected 1 under the previous comparison.

…ance `W_Property`'s `w_fget?` / `w_fset?` and `ClassMethod` / `StaticMethod`'s `w_function?` hold their instance behind an `AtomicPtr` that no descr row and no `gc_ptr_offsets` entry covers. A GC object runs no `Drop`, so the field could not reclaim its own instance and each swept owner stranded one allocation. `property_destructor`, `staticmethod_destructor` and `classmethod_destructor` take it back on sweep, attached with `GcTypes::set_destructor` on the three tids, following `type_object_destructor` and `function_destructor`. Upstream needs no such hook because its `mutate_<name>` is itself a GC pointer. Reclaiming here is sound because the instance is an `Arc` and an in-flight compile holds its own strong count; a test pins that, asserting the recorded instance is left with one holder and still takes a registration after the field's reference is dropped. Drops two notes that no longer hold: that the collector has no reclamation hook for a collected object's off-heap side allocation, and that the compile-time watcher registration resolves the owner by the address recording saw.

`loop_region_ranges` built the region as the contiguous span from the header to the last backedge source, then widened it for each backward jump that rejoined the span from outside, taking the block's start from the earliest exception-table target at or before the jump and falling back to `body_end + 1` when no target qualified. Compute the natural loop of the backedge instead: the header, plus every pc that reaches a backedge source without passing through the header, walked over `crate::jit::codewriter::code_successors`. `code_successors` becomes `pub(crate)` for this. That edge set carries the exception edges, so a handler that rejoins the body is in the region when control can return through it, and a `return` leg inside the old span reaches no backedge and drops out. The region is not the header's strongly connected component. An inner loop's SCC is its outer loop: control can leave the inner loop, finish the outer body and take the outer backedge back to the inner header, so the SCC gates an inner backedge on `FOR_ITER`s outside it. Seeding the header before walking predecessors is what bounds the walk. The span version's doc named the exception table's `(start, end, target)` extents as its eventual replacement. Records why that does not work: a rejoining jump is emitted after the block's `PopBlock` / `PopExcept`, so no entry covers it. Adds `an_inner_loops_region_excludes_the_loop_that_encloses_it`, which fails on the SCC formulation. Assisted-by: Claude
The note said #1174 made that walk raise `callee_inline_blackhole_required`. No such function exists anywhere in the tree. The constructor is `DispatchError::callee_inline_abort`, which takes `blackhole_required`; `callee_inline_unsupported` is the sibling that passes `false`. Assisted-by: Claude

Move the doc comment to the test it describes.
This doc comment describes a return leg that is reachable from the header and never returns to it. That is the subject of loop_region_excludes_a_return_leg_inside_the_body_span at Line 13787, not of an_inner_loops_region_excludes_the_loop_that_encloses_it. The nested-loop test then carries no rationale except the inline comment at Lines 13722-13726, and the return-leg test carries none at all.

Two follow-ups to #1383, which is now merged.
1. Dedup
quasi_immutable_depson the instance, not the per-read handleA parity regression #1383 introduced, found by the Codex review on that PR and
live in
maintoday.quasi_immut_descrmints aRecordedQuasiImmutper read, so the three sitesdeduping with
Arc::ptr_eqcompared two distinct handles and never matched:repeated markers for one instance each pushed an entry and registered the same
loop again.
heap.pykeysquasi_immutable_depsby theQuasiImmutitself, andthe
(owner pointer, descr index)key #1383 replaced deduplicated it too.QuasiImmutHandlegainsinstance_identity, answered by the address of theArc<QuasiImmut>the adapter holds;optimizeopt/optimizer.rs,optimizeopt/mod.rsandoptimizeopt/unroll.rscompare that.Two notes on scope. The review named only
optimizer.rs; the same comparison wasin three places, so this fixes the class rather than the instance. And
optimizeopt/mod.rsalready documented the field as "Vec-backed set keyed oninstance identity, the way a Python dict keys on the object" — the comment
described the intended behaviour while the code did something else.
merge_quasi_immutable_depsgets a unit test that asserts its two handles aregenuinely distinct before merging, so it reports 2 against an expected 1 under
the previous comparison rather than passing vacuously.
2. Reclaim a swept property or method wrapper's watcher instance
W_Property'sw_fget?/w_fset?andClassMethod/StaticMethod'sw_function?hold their instance behind anAtomicPtrthat no descr row and nogc_ptr_offsetsentry covers. A GC object runs noDrop, so the field could notreclaim its own instance and each swept owner stranded one allocation — per
owner, so a program that keeps minting and discarding traced descriptors keeps
accumulating them.
property_destructor,staticmethod_destructorandclassmethod_destructortake it back on sweep, attached with
GcTypes::set_destructoron the three tids,following
type_object_destructorandfunction_destructor. Upstream needs nosuch hook because its
mutate_<name>is itself a GC pointer.This had been recorded as blocked on "the collector has no reclamation hook for
an object's off-heap side allocation". That is not so:
with_destructor_fn/set_destructoris that hook, run on sweep as theincminimark.py call_destructoranalog, andW_TypeObjectandFunction::mutate_slotswerealready using it.
celldict'sModuleDictStrategyis covered too, by drop gluethrough
storage_box_destructor.sys/vm.rs'shooks_watchersis deliberatelyleft alone — its owner is itself one permanent process-wide leak, a fixed cost
rather than a per-owner one.
What had actually made it look blocked was a use-after-free that only existed
under the previous design: with
(owner pointer, descr index)re-resolution, anowner swept mid-compile left the compiler resolving a dangling pointer. #1383
removed that by carrying the instance as an
Arc, so an in-flight compile nowholds its own strong count. A test pins exactly that premise — after the field's
reference is taken, the recorded instance is left with one holder and still
accepts a registration.
Also drops two notes that no longer hold: the "collector has no notion of it"
claim above, and the claim that the compile side resolves the owner by the
address recording saw.
Deliberately not decided here
These hooks call
take(), which reclaims without unlinking, so loops registeredon a dead owner are never revoked — matching
type_object_destructor. Whether asweep should instead
invalidate()is a behaviour change that would have to beuniform across every owner and needs a fixture of its own, so it is filed rather
than folded in. This is not a regression: before this change the instance leaked,
so a dead owner's loops were equally never revoked. Only memory reclamation
changes.

3. Build the
FOR_ITERgate's loop region as the backedge's natural loopIndependent of 1 and 2 — same work branch, separate commit.
loop_region_ranges's doc already called its result the "natural loop region",but the computation was a heuristic: the contiguous span from the header to the
last backedge source, then one widening pass per backward jump that rejoined the
span from outside, taking that block's start from the earliest exception-table
target at or before the jump and falling back to
body_end + 1when nonequalified. Its own comment conceded that several disjoint handlers laid out after
the body make it "swallow the bytecode between the earliest one and the jump".
It now computes the actual natural loop of the backedge over
jit::codewriter::code_successors: the header, plus every pc that reaches abackedge source without passing through the header.
code_successorsbecomespub(crate).That edge set already carries the exception edges, so a handler that rejoins the
body is in the region exactly when control can return through it — with no appeal
to where the handler was laid out — and a
returnleg sitting inside the oldspan reaches no backedge and drops out.
Not the header's SCC. This was the first re-scope attempted, and check.py
caught it: three fixtures fell to
loops_compiled 0(
synth/gc_id_stable_across_move,synth/list_append_virtual_payload,synth/minmax_key_rooting), all nested-loop shapes. An inner loop's SCC is itsouter loop — control can leave the inner loop, finish the outer body and take the
outer backedge back to the inner header — so the SCC gates an inner backedge on
FOR_ITERs outside it. Seeding the header into the region before walkingpredecessors is what bounds the walk.
an_inner_loops_region_excludes_the_loop_ that_encloses_itpins this and was confirmed to fail on the SCC formulationbefore being kept.
The route the old doc proposed is refuted, and the code now says so. It named
the exception table's own
(start, end, target)extents as its eventualreplacement. That does not work: a rejoining jump is emitted after the block's
PopBlock/PopExcept, soassemble_exception_tablestamps it with the poppedhandler and no entry covers it — leaving the same
body_end + 1fallback and astrictly wider region than the heuristic it would replace.
Gates, all against the existing jitstats baseline with nothing re-recorded:
check.py --backend dynasm447/447 ALL PASSED;cargo test --all40 suites0 failed; parity all pass; CPython suite 222 PASS / 0 FAIL / no regressions.
4. Name the real constructor in the in-flight
FOR_ITERnoteA comment in
eval.rssaid #1174 made that walk raisecallee_inline_blackhole_required. No such function exists anywhere in the tree.The constructor is
DispatchError::callee_inline_abort, which takesblackhole_required;callee_inline_unsupportedis the sibling passingfalse.Not cosmetic: a later investigation cited "exactly ONE constructor
(
callee_inline_blackhole_required)" as a load-bearing fact about why an abortimage was allegedly unconsumed, and that citation came from this comment. A
fictional symbol name in a comment reads as a citation and gets propagated as one.
