Two gaps in the #[jit_interp] / #[jit_inline] macro surface, found by auditing what a consumer has to hand-write around.

1. inline_int / inline_ref / inline_float in statement position

Statement position and value position are lowered by two different functions. lower_value.rs has an arm for the three result-returning inline policies; lower_stmt.rs had one only for inline_void, so a helper registered inline_int and called for its effect reached the trailing _ => return None.

The two macro surfaces then diverge:

  • #[jit_inline] reports could not lower this helper into JitCode and fails the build.
  • #[jit_interp] degrades the enclosing dispatch arm to an abort stub, records it through record_degraded_dispatch_arm, and builds clean — every trace reaching that opcode aborts, once per threshold, forever, and the helper's stores never enter the trace.

explicit_call_emits_post_live already returns an answer for these three kinds, so the accounting said the policy was handled while the lowering did not handle it. The workaround is to bind the result to a let _x nothing reads, which makes the same source lower — so a machine that hit this looks like one that never did.

The new statement arm uses alloc_reg() for the destination the sub-jitcode's typed return needs, the way the discarded ResidualInt family below it already does; the rest is the value-position lowering.

2. A denominator for degraded_dispatch_arms()

degraded_dispatch_arms() is a numerator. An empty result reads as "no arm degraded" and as "no portal was ever built" at once, and only the first is a pass — the second is the same shape as the defect the registry exists to report, one level up. Every consumer gating on it therefore supplies its own proof that the portal was installed, and each supplies a different one.

emit_dispatch_chain now stages record_dispatch_arm_census(state_type_name, n) from the same admission test its emission loop uses, so an arm is counted exactly when a body is emitted for it. New API: DispatchArmCensus, record_dispatch_arm_census, dispatch_arm_census, and assert_no_degraded_dispatch_arms(interp), which fails with one message when the portal was never installed and a different one when an arm degraded.

Verification

  • jit_interp_discarded_inline_result.rs — a #[jit_interp] machine with a discarding arm, a result-binding control arm, and a deliberately unlowerable arm as the registry's denominator. With the statement arm removed both subject assertions fail: degraded=["OP_DISCARD_POP", "OP_ENCLOSED_BREAK"], and one helper splice instead of two.
  • The splice count comes from the portal's sub-JitCode list, not from scanning bodies for BC_INLINE_CALL. Jitcode operands are bytes too, so a byte scan reports two inline calls even with the arm degraded to [BC_ABORT] — the first version of that assertion passed for exactly that reason.
  • jit_interp_inline_helper_typed_return.rs — the #[jit_inline] half, where the same input previously failed the build.
  • jit_interp_ref_state_field.rs — the success case for assert_no_degraded_dispatch_arms; a gate that panicked unconditionally would satisfy the two failure cases above.
  • cargo test -p majit-metainterp --features dynasm --no-fail-fast: 29/29 binaries green. cargo check --workspace --all-targets RC=0. cargo fmt --all --check clean.

Walkthrough

The PR adds typed lowering for discarded inline helper results, declaration-based pool-array layouts, dispatch and field-usage tracking, and struct-layout conflict instrumentation. Regression tests cover inline splicing, layout offsets, dispatch validation, field declarations, and layout conflicts.

Layout registration records submitted fields and comparisons. Conflicts classify redescriptions and dropped siblings, provide snapshots, and fail the global conflict assertion.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 99d05

The new degraded-arm census can count a dispatch arm before emission rejects it, allowing the health assertion to pass even though an opcode arm is missing; affected traces may still use the degraded path while tests report success. The census should align with emitted arms, or rejected arms should be recorded, before merge.

P2 Badge Key the census by portal rather than state spelling

When one process contains multiple #[jit_interp] portals whose state types have the same unqualified spelling, this lookup conflates them because the macro records only state_type.to_string(). This already occurs in the cel binary, where five module-local machines are all named VmState: installing any one makes every other portal appear installed, while the filter below attributes a degraded arm from any of them to all five. Consequently, assert_no_degraded_dispatch_arms("VmState") can both pass for a portal that was never built and fail for a healthy portal; use a portal-unique identifier such as the generated dispatch function/module path for both registries.

Added a third commit: ref_fields entries now carry a compile-time witness.

A ref_fields = { Struct::field => Pointee } entry is trusted twice and verified nowhere — the read becomes getfield_gc_r into the ref bank, and the binding's struct_type is what the next hop resolves offset_of! against. field_scalar_tokens now emits a witness for these keys, next to the one int_fields keys already got, admitting *mut Pointee, *const Pointee and usize.

Where it adds coverage was measured with the witness on and off, not assumed:

surface drifted pointee on a *mut T field
#[jit_inline] already rejected — the concrete rewriter types the loaded value against the declaration, E0308: expected .., found *mut Holder
#[jit_interp] state field compiled clean, faulted at run time. With the witness: E0277: the trait bound *mut Holder: __MajitRefField is not satisfied

So the interp path is what this closes; on the inline path it is a second, earlier line.

The undeclared half is deliberately left open and the doc comment says so: a field named in no map reads into the Int bank, and stable Rust cannot assert that a type is not a pointer. Catching it needs a same-offset is_ref disagreement to reach Assembler::register_struct_layout, which today merges by offset alone and keeps whichever registration arrived first.

Downstream check. The one real consumer of these macros lives in a separate repository and pins majit by revision. It was built against this branch through a [patch] override: cargo test -p aheui-jit is fully green, including a ref_fields entry whose field is a usize carrier — which is why the witness admits usize rather than the two pointer spellings alone.

P2 Badge Exclude unlowered switch arms from the census

When switch_dispatch = true and an arm uses a pattern rejected by extract_pat_switch_case_tokens (for example, an open-ended N.. range), its switch label remains None and the emission loop at lines 2528-2529 skips the body without recording degradation. This filter nevertheless counts the arm, so assert_no_degraded_dispatch_arms can certify the portal even though that opcode silently follows the default path; derive the count from populated switch labels or record the rejected arm as degraded.

Record switch extraction failures as degraded arms.

Lines 2508-2513 count every admitted arm before switch lowering verifies that extract_pat_switch_case_tokens can emit that arm. If extraction returns None, line 2474 drops the arm and lines 2526-2529 skip it again. The code emits neither an arm body nor record_degraded_dispatch_arm.

assert_no_degraded_dispatch_arms can then pass while that opcode falls through to the default path. Record a degraded arm in the None branch, or reject the macro expansion. Add a switch_dispatch regression test with an unsupported switch-pattern shape.

Assert decoded instructions, not raw byte membership.

JitCode::code stores opcodes and operands in the same byte stream. contains(&inline_call) and the residual-opcode checks can match an operand. The test can pass when no BC_INLINE_CALL instruction exists. Decode the instruction stream, or inspect the nested JitCode descriptor, before asserting the inline splice.

…tion

Statement position and value position are lowered by two different
functions. `lower_value.rs` has an arm for the three result-returning
inline policies; `lower_stmt.rs` had one only for `inline_void`, so a
helper registered `inline_int` and called for its effect reached the
trailing `_ => return None`.

The two macro surfaces then diverge. `#[jit_inline]` reports
`could not lower this helper into JitCode` and fails the build.
`#[jit_interp]` degrades the enclosing dispatch arm to an abort stub,
records it through `record_degraded_dispatch_arm`, and builds clean --
every trace reaching that opcode aborts and the helper's stores never
enter the trace. `explicit_call_emits_post_live` already returns an
answer for these three kinds, so the accounting said the policy was
handled while the lowering did not handle it.

Add the statement arm: `alloc_reg()` supplies the destination the
sub-jitcode's typed return needs, the way the discarded `ResidualInt`
family below already does, and the rest is the value-position lowering.

Tests. `jit_interp_discarded_inline_result.rs` builds a `#[jit_interp]`
machine with a discarding arm, a result-binding control arm, and a
deliberately unlowerable arm as the registry's denominator; it asserts
the discarding arm is absent from `degraded_dispatch_arms()` and that
the portal registers the helper's sub-jitcode twice. With the statement
arm removed, both assertions fail (`degraded=["OP_DISCARD_POP",
"OP_ENCLOSED_BREAK"]`, one splice instead of two).

The splice count is taken from the portal's sub-JitCode list, not from
scanning bodies for `BC_INLINE_CALL`: jitcode operands are bytes too, so
a byte scan reports two inline calls even with the arm degraded to
`[BC_ABORT]`.

`jit_interp_inline_helper_typed_return.rs` gains the `#[jit_inline]`
half, where the same input previously failed the build.

Assisted-by: Claude
`degraded_dispatch_arms()` is a numerator. An empty result reads as "no
arm degraded" and as "no portal was ever built" at once, and only the
first is a pass -- the second is the same shape as the defect the
registry exists to report, one level up. Every consumer that gates on it
therefore supplies its own proof that the portal was installed, and each
supplies a different one.

The portal now records its own arm count. `emit_dispatch_chain` stages
`record_dispatch_arm_census(state_type_name, n)` from the same admission
test its emission loop uses -- an arm is counted exactly when a body is
emitted for it, so the two cannot drift -- and the count excludes the `_`
wildcard and a lowercase binding pattern, neither of which is an opcode
or can degrade.

New in majit-metainterp: `DispatchArmCensus`, `record_dispatch_arm_census`,
`dispatch_arm_census`, and `assert_no_degraded_dispatch_arms(interp)`,
which fails with one message when the portal was never installed and a
different one when an arm degraded.

Tests. `jit_interp_discarded_inline_result.rs` asserts the two failures
read differently, since a gate that panicked unconditionally would
satisfy both; `jit_interp_ref_state_field.rs` supplies the success case
on a machine whose arms all lower. Both pin their own census count.

Assisted-by: Claude
A `ref_fields = { Struct::field => Pointee }` entry is trusted twice and
verified nowhere. The read becomes `getfield_gc_r` into the ref bank, and
the resulting binding's `struct_type` is what the NEXT hop resolves
`offset_of!` against, so a field that is not a pointer to the declared
pointee yields either a ref-bank read of something that is not a
reference or an offset computed in the wrong struct.

`field_scalar_tokens` now emits a witness for keys `ref_fields` declares,
next to the one `int_fields` keys already got. It admits `*mut Pointee`,
`*const Pointee` and `usize` -- the last because a carrier is the
sanctioned spelling when the declaring crate would rather not name the
pointee, so its pointee is not checkable and what survives for it is that
the field is pointer-width and pointer-kind.

Where it adds coverage, measured with the arm on and off rather than
assumed. `#[jit_inline]` already rejects a drifted pointee on a
raw-pointer field: the concrete rewriter types the loaded value against
the declaration and reports E0308. `#[jit_interp]` does not -- a machine
declaring `Holder::link => Wrong` over a `link: *mut Holder` compiles
clean and faults at run time. With the witness it is
`E0277: the trait bound *mut Holder: __MajitRefField is not satisfied`.

The undeclared half is left open on purpose and the doc comment says so:
a field named in no map reads into the Int bank, and stable Rust cannot
assert that a type is *not* a pointer. Catching that needs a same-offset
`is_ref` disagreement to reach `Assembler::register_struct_layout`, which
today merges by offset alone and keeps whichever arrived first.

`ref_field_witness_tokens` takes the map rather than the whole
`LowererConfig` so it is reachable from a unit test; the two tests pin
the three admitted spellings, that the witness touches the field it
names, and that an undeclared key emits nothing.

1. Regressions to PyPy parity introduced by this patch

None.

2. Other mismatches introduced by this patch

  • majit/majit-macros/src/jit_interp/jitcode_lower/lower_stmt.rs:1516 ↔ rpython/jit/codewriter/jtransform.py:414 — an effect-only inline call is emitted as a typed inline_call_*_{i,r,f} with a fabricated destination register. Upstream derives the call suffix from the call operation’s result; a discarded result is void, hence inline_call_*_v (jtransform.py:423-435, and the corresponding void blackhole calls at rpython/jit/metainterp/blackhole.py:1286). This needlessly creates a JIT result and changes trace/resume/liveness shape. Use inline_call_tokens_void and no output OpMeta.
  • majit/majit-macros/src/jit_interp/jitcode_lower/lower_vable.rs:148 ↔ rpython/jit/backend/llsupport/descr.py:348 — the new pool-array witness accepts only [*mut T; N]. A valid Rust marker can index [*const T; N] and return the pointer as usize, but expansion now fails because *const T cannot satisfy fn(...) -> *mut T. RPython’s array descriptor derives the element representation from its pointer type and has no mutable-vs-const pointer distinction. Accept both raw-pointer spellings, as the nearby field witness already does.

3. Pre-existing mismatches (already present before this patch)

  • majit/majit-macros/src/jit_interp/jitcode_lower/lower_value.rs:1324 ↔ rpython/jit/codewriter/jtransform.py:423 — the configured inline_int/inline_ref/inline_float policy supplies OpMeta’s result bank, while emitted code chooses the actual helper’s trailing return kind dynamically. A wrongly declared policy can therefore label an emitted ref/float/int result as another bank. Upstream derives both the opcode suffix and result representation from one op.result.concretetype; it cannot split them this way. The new statement-position code reproduces this existing defect.

4. Structural adaptations

  • majit/majit-macros/src/jit_interp/jitcode_lower/lower_vable.rs:136 ↔ rpython/jit/backend/llsupport/descr.py:348 — deriving base_size/len_offset with Rust offset_of! and supporting a fixed inline array with no length word is a necessary Rust-layout adaptation of PyPy’s lltype-derived array descriptor. It preserves the relevant descriptor semantics (nolength likewise yields no length descriptor upstream).
  • majit/majit-macros/src/jit_interp/jitcode_lower/lower_vable.rs:94 ↔ rpython/jit/backend/llsupport/descr.py:241 — accepting usize as a declared ref-field carrier is a Rust raw-pointer representation adaptation. RPython has a typed lltype.Ptr; Rust’s erased usize carrier cannot prove its pointee statically.
  • majit/majit-metainterp/src/lib.rs:542 ↔ rpython/jit/codewriter/jtransform.py:473 — the global degraded-arm, unconsulted-field, and layout-conflict registries are diagnostic instrumentation with no PyPy lowering counterpart. They do not change generated JIT semantics; they expose macro-lowering coverage and descriptor disagreements.

…spec

`register_struct_layout` accumulates a struct's layout across the emit
sites that touch it and dedups on the byte offset.  An offset does not
identify a field -- a flattened inline aggregate and its first leaf share
an address -- so a second registration at a known offset was one of three
things and all three were dropped the same way: the same field again, a
different field the merge has no slot for, or the same field described
differently.  The last two were silent.

`record_layout_conflicts` runs off the walk the early return already
performs and classifies the hit as DroppedSibling or Redescribed.  Both
sides are compared in the form the spec retains, since
`field_specs_from_layout` replaces a ref field's declared width and sign
with the pointer word's own.  It reports; it does not arbitrate, so the
merge is unchanged.

`struct_layout_comparisons` is the denominator, and it is not the
registration count: a field at an unrecorded offset is appended without
comparing anything, so a corpus can submit thousands and never exercise
the check.  Measured this way, the check is live on the macro path and
never runs on four pyre benches -- a conflict count read without it would
have been vacuous there.

`ref_field_witness_tokens`' doc named this as the second line for an
undeclared pointer field.  It is narrower than that: each jitcode gets its
own layout map, so two declarations never meet here, only two emit sites
within one jitcode.

Assisted-by: Claude
`add_ptr_array_descr` hard-coded `base_size = size_of::<usize>()` and
`len_offset = Some(0)`, so a `pool_arrays` declaration silently required
the consumer's struct to be `{ len, items.. }`.  Nothing emitted an
`offset_of!`, so the assumption never met the layout: reordering the
header or dropping it compiled clean on both sides and left the element
read at `base + 8 + i*8`.

The grammar is now `<ref>.<items>[<len>] => <getter> [-> Elem]`.  Both
numbers come from `offset_of!` on the declaration's own field names, and
two witnesses cover what an offset cannot -- that `items` holds
pointer-width elements and that `len` is the `usize` the lendescr reads
it at.

`len_offset = None` is a supported shape rather than a degraded one:
`ArrayPtrInfo.make_guards` skips the short preamble's ARRAYLEN_GC for a
descr without a lendescr, so a plain fixed-size inline array declares no
length.  The doc claiming a lendescr was required, and that the GC
rewrite would panic without one, described the state before that gate and
is removed.

The new test's machine puts its items behind a two-word pad, which is the
arrangement the hard-code gets wrong.  Its run assertion is gated on a
compile counter first: the concrete fallback indexes the real field
whatever the descr claims, so without the counter the test passes on the
build it exists to reject.

Two more, plus a correction to what the last one's doc claimed.

Rebased onto origin/main — the three earlier commits are the same patches (8175b4e0, 0cb8a70f, a2b8f4b4 by patch-id), now on top of #1212.


register_struct_layout reports a registration that disagrees (ad2286c9eb6)

ref_field_witness_tokens' doc named this as the second line for a pointer field left out of one declaration's ref_fields. That was wrong, and the code says so: struct_size_specs is a field of JitCodeBuilder, and every jitcode calls JitCodeBuilder::new() — the portal, each #[jit_inline] helper, each sub-builder. Two declarations never land in one map. What does meet is two emit sites inside one jitcode, reaching the same member by two lowering paths. The doc now says that instead.

The check itself could not key on the offset alone. an_ambiguous_offset_is_arbitrated_by_name_and_otherwise_declined already pins that a flattened inline aggregate and its first leaf share an address — "7 of 1714 submitted field specs share an offset with a sibling" — so an offset-keyed conflict test is an instant false positive on the existing corpus. Keyed on (offset, name), a hit splits three ways: the same field again (the common case, and what the dedup exists for), Redescribed, DroppedSibling. It reports; it does not arbitrate, so the merge is unchanged.

The denominator is what makes the result readable, and my first one was wrong. Counting registrations would have passed: a field at an offset nobody has registered yet is appended without comparing anything, so a corpus can submit thousands and never exercise the check. Counting comparisons — fields that arrived at an already-recorded offset — gives:

corpus comparisons ran conflicts
4 pyre benches (nbody, fannkuch, inline_helper, nested_loop) none 0 — vacuous
aheui logo yes 0

So a conflict count read off the pyre benches says nothing, and only the denominator reveals that. The check's live corpus is the macro path.

Falsification: with the recording disabled, 3 of the 4 new tests go red; the fourth is the negative control and correctly stays green.


A pool_arrays declaration states its array's offset and length word (3308129fdde)

add_ptr_array_descr hard-coded base_size = size_of::<usize>() and len_offset = Some(0), so the declaration silently required the consumer's struct to be { len, items.. }. No offset_of! was emitted anywhere, so the assumption never met the layout — reordering that header, or dropping it, compiled clean on both sides and left the element read at base + 8 + i*8.

The grammar is now <ref>.<items>[<len>] => <getter> [-> Elem]. Both numbers are offset_of! on the declaration's own field names, plus two witnesses for what an offset cannot cover: that items holds pointer-width elements, and that len is the usize the lendescr reads it at.

len_offset = None is a supported shape rather than a degraded one — ArrayPtrInfo.make_guards skips the short preamble's ARRAYLEN_GC for a descr without a lendescr, so a plain fixed-size inline array declares no length. The doc claiming a lendescr was required, and that the GC rewrite would panic without one, describes the state before that gate; it is removed rather than restated.

Armed control on the real consumer: with pools moved ahead of the length word, the declared build stays byte-identical (996310 B, md5 7fcdbfff0af449c4283c008e3ca317ce, exit 42, jit == naive) and the hard-coded build hangs with 0 bytes of output.

The new test's machine puts its items behind a two-word pad. Its run assertion is gated on a compile counter first, and that is not decoration: the concrete fallback indexes the real field whatever the descr claims, so my first version of that test passed on the deliberately broken build — zero traces had compiled. With can_enter_jit! on the back edge it reads left: 2180, right: 6000 under the old hard-code.

Not done, and why

The audit's fourth item — a knob withholding a majit-fed root family so a consumer's GC root-walk oracle can be shown able to fail — is dead. The control already exists one layer down in the consumer (AHEUI_GC_DROP_JIT_ROOTS), and the surface the item named (majit-gc/src/collector.rs) is inert for that consumer anyway: it installs its own nursery allocator whose collect methods are empty, so MiniMark's root phases never manage those objects. A knob there would report "did not arm" while never having touched anything.

The element witness rejects a *const element array.

ref_field_witness_tokens names the pointee so *mut P and *const P both satisfy it. emit_array_field_base does the same for array_fields. The pool-array element witness instead requires the field to be exactly [*mut #element; N]. A consumer that declares items: [*const Slot; N] then fails to compile, even though the emitted descr only needs pointer-width elements. Align the element witness with the two existing witnesses.

Add coverage for a declaration without a length field.

PoolArrayEntry.len_field is optional, and pool_array_layout_tokens emits Option::None plus no length witness for that shape. This file only declares pools.items[len]. The None branch therefore reaches add_ptr_array_descr untested, and a regression there would produce a descriptor with no length descriptor without failing any test. Add a second machine that declares pools.items => pool_get -> Slot and assert the emitted descr carries (offset_of!(Pools, items), None).

P1 Badge Require a length before lowering fixed arrays

When a pool_arrays declaration omits [len] and the index is a red value that can move outside the fixed Rust array after tracing, emitting None here removes the only source for a bounds guard: ArrayPtrInfo::make_guards explicitly skips ARRAYLEN_GC without a lendescr, while getarrayitem_gc_r performs an unchecked raw-memory read. The concrete getter's Rust array indexing would panic for the same index, so the compiled trace can instead read out of bounds; either encode the fixed array's compile-time length or reject length-less declarations unless equivalent bounds are guarded.

The maps are consulted by `"StructType::field"`, built from the DECLARED
type of the base an access goes through.  A key naming a struct nothing
is typed as matches nothing, so it emits no descr width -- and, because
`field_scalar_tokens` emits its `const _: fn(&S) -> T` witness only on a
match, no check of what it claims about the field either.  It is at once
inert and an unchecked statement, and the declaration alone cannot say
which.  Measured on a consumer: 36 entries declaring a `u32` field as
`u8` compiled clean, while the same misdeclaration on a consulted key
produced 13 E0308s.

Every consultation reaches the maps through `field_scalar_tokens`, so the
consulted set is recorded there and the declared keys are diffed against
it once lowering is done.

Reported rather than rejected, unlike the `pool_arrays` base-name check
next to it: a degraded arm never reaches its field accesses, so a key
used only there is unconsulted through no fault of the declaration.  The
gate carries the degraded arms in its message so the two are separable.

Both macro surfaces record, and they had to be done separately.  The
first version covered only the `#[jit_interp]` portal; pointed at a
consumer it named one key, while the entries that motivated it sat on the
`#[jit_inline]` side untouched.  A helper reports under its own name,
since each carries its own maps.

A declared field key no access site consulted (99d05d526a8)

int_fields and ref_fields are consulted by "StructType::field", built from the declared type of the base an access goes through. A key naming a struct nothing is typed as matches nothing — so it emits no descr width, and, because field_scalar_tokens emits its const _: fn(&S) -> T witness only on a match, no check of what it claims about the field either.

That second half is what makes this worth a mechanism rather than a tidy-up. Measured on a real consumer: 36 entries declaring a u32 field as u8 compile clean; the same misdeclaration on a key that is consulted produces 13 E0308s. An unconsulted entry is not merely dead — it is a false statement the build agrees to, and it is indistinguishable from a live one by reading the declaration.

Every consultation reaches the maps through field_scalar_tokens, so the consulted set is recorded in that one place and diffed against the declared keys once lowering finishes.

Reported, not rejected — deliberately unlike the pool_arrays base-name check sitting next to it. A degraded arm never reaches its field accesses, so a key used only in that arm is unconsulted through no fault of the declaration. Rejecting would turn one refusal into two. The gate's message carries the degraded arms alongside, so a reader can tell "stale" from "the only arm that used it refused to lower".

Both surfaces, and they had to be done separately. The first version recorded only from the #[jit_interp] portal. Pointed at the consumer, it reported exactly one key — while the 36 entries that motivated the whole check sat on the #[jit_inline] side, untouched. Same asymmetry these two macros produce on every input, reproduced inside the fix for it. With both surfaces recording, that consumer reports 61, including two classes I did not predict:

  • stack_swap does not consult its own Stack::size (swap never touches the count);
  • stack_push / stack_dup / queue_dup declare Node::next and never consult it.

A helper reports under its own name, since each #[jit_inline] carries its own maps and a key one helper consults says nothing about the helper beside it.

P2 Badge Record consultations only after successful lowering

When an arm accesses a declared field and then fails on a later unsupported statement, field_scalar_tokens inserts the key into this shared set before the arm lowering is rejected and its generated body—including the descriptor and compile-time witness—is discarded in favor of an abort stub. The final census consequently treats the declaration as consulted even though no emitted JitCode checks or uses it, creating the exact false negative this registry is intended to prevent; commit the key only once the containing access is successfully emitted, or roll these mutations back when speculative arm lowering fails.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

The recording comment said every `int_fields` / `ref_fields` consultation
reaches the maps through `field_scalar_tokens`.  That holds for the
jitcode lowering and not for `ref_fields` as a whole: `RefFieldRewriter`
reads it too, to rewrite the concrete body's `x.field` into a deref of the
raw-pointer carrier.

Both walk the same source, so they agree except where the lowering
stopped early and the rewriter did not -- a degraded arm, which is the
case the report already handles by reporting rather than rejecting.  The
comment now says which reader it speaks for.

Two corrections to the comment above, and the list it refers to.

The count is 60, not 61. I miscounted the log lines.

"Every consultation reaches the maps through field_scalar_tokens" is not true of ref_fields. RefFieldRewriter reads it as well, to rewrite the concrete body's x.field into a deref of the raw-pointer carrier. Both walk the same source, so they agree except where the jitcode lowering stopped early and the rewriter did not — a degraded arm, which is the case the report already handles by reporting rather than rejecting. 8cf2937d573 says so in the comment; the claim was overbroad, the mechanism is unchanged.

The 60, on the consumer:

class count what it is
a foreign storage's size 54 Port::size at all 27 helpers; Queue::size at the 13 ref(Stack) helpers; Stack::size at the 14 ref(Queue) helpers
a helper's own size 2 stack_swap, queue_swap — swap exchanges two node values and never touches the count
Node::next 3 stack_push, stack_dup, queue_dup
NodeJit::next 1 on the #[jit_interp] machine

The first class is the one the declarations were written for: a comment at each site says the three storages share the head/size prefix and the JIT reaches all of them through the Stack tag, "so the width is declared for every name the layout can be registered under". The layout is only ever registered under the tag the access base is declared as, so the other names never match.

The Node::next three are not what I expected and are worth stating separately, because they look load-bearing and are not. stack_push is

let old_head = stack.head;
let new_node = Node { value, next: old_head };
stack.head = new_node;
stack.size = stack.size + 1u32;

next: old_head is a struct-literal initialiser, which the struct_allocs lowering handles; there is no .next access for ref_fields to answer. Dropping the entry there leaves the consumer's output byte-identical (996310 B, md5 7fcdbfff0af449c4283c008e3ca317ce, exit 42), so it is a true positive rather than a rewriter-only use.

No deletions made — the report is the deliverable here, and what to do with the 60 is the consumer's call.

P2 Badge Add a build census for inline-helper declarations

When a #[jit_inline] helper carries int_fields or ref_fields, this emits unconsulted records under the helper name but emits no corresponding installation census. The only provided gate, assert_no_unconsulted_field_declarations, first requires an entry in dispatch_arm_census, which inline-helper construction never creates, so it always reports that the helper was never installed even after __majit_inline_jitcode_*_with_asm ran; for a clean helper, the empty snapshot is likewise indistinguishable from one that was never built. Record a helper-specific denominator or provide a separate helper gate so these new records can certify the success case as well as report failures.
