Summary

  • preserve typed header information through Charon/MIR lowering and direct narrowing calls
  • fuse boxing allocations when the registered header layout declares only a type pointer, while rejecting unknown or contradictory layouts
  • expand the shared Charon corpus and integration tests for typed reads, static class resolution, narrowing, and one-/two-word header allocation
  • expose stable categories for the existing known-unported rtyper cases without changing their decisions

This follows RPython's root OBJECT layout, which has only typeptr, and its new_with_vtable allocation shape. It contains general majit work only; CEL-specific code and diagnostic/audit instrumentation are excluded.

Performance

fib_recursive changes from 8 to 7 compiled bridges and from 1645 to 1501 guard failures on both native backends. The PyPy oracle reports 1 loop and 3 bridges for the same fixture, so the updated snapshots record movement toward the upstream behavior.

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check
  • cargo check --all --no-default-features --features dynasm
  • cargo test --all --no-default-features --features dynasm
  • python3 pyre/check.py --no-synthetic (dynasm 10/10, cranelift 10/10, wasm 10/10)
  • PYPYLOG=jit-summary:- pypy3 pyre/bench/fib_recursive.py (1 loop, 3 bridges, 0 forcings)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added corpus fixtures for typed object headers, allocation, class lookup, field access, type narrowing, and immutable-field metadata.
    • Added support for direct numeric operations after type checks and dispatch through narrowing chains.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved allocation fusion for object layouts with or without per-instance class fields.
    • Preserved residual operations when layout information is missing or contradictory.
  • Tests

    • Added end-to-end coverage for header reads, allocation fusion, static addresses, and direct dispatch.
    • Added categorized reporting for recognized translation limitations.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new object-model corpus fixtures.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds header-first object-model corpus fixtures, header-aware boxing fusion, MIR frontend coverage, categorized unported failures, and a larger benchmark workload.

Changes

Object-model lowering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Object-model fixture contracts
majit/charon-corpus/README.md, majit/charon-corpus/src/lib.rs, majit/majit-charon-reader/tests/corpus.rs
The corpus adds typed headers, class descriptors, allocation helpers, narrowing fixtures, immutable-field metadata, and updated function-count documentation.
Header-aware allocation fusion
majit/majit-translate/src/model.rs
Layout lookup and header-plan validation now support registered headers with or without w_class, while retaining residual allocations for inconsistent or unresolved stores. Parameterized tests cover these cases.
MIR frontend validation
majit/majit-translate/tests/test_mir_frontend.rs
End-to-end tests cover typed header reads, class-address resolution, host-provided addresses, reduced headers, payload stores, and direct dispatch after type narrowing.

Unported failure categories

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure classification contract
majit/majit-translate/src/translator/rtyper/cutover.rs
Known unported failures now map to stable category identifiers. Boolean skip detection delegates to the classifier, and tests cover categorized and unknown failures.

Benchmark sizing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Benchmark workload sizing
pyre/bench/synth/mapdict_frozen_unboxing_fold.py
The benchmark workload increases from 406399 to 2000000, with updated sizing notes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 677a5

The typed-header preservation and allocation-fusion changes have no concrete runtime or correctness issue identified in the supplied evidence; only a localized citation-format cleanup remains for merge readiness.

Poem

A rabbit checks the header with care,
Finds class words—or none are there.
Fused allocations hop in line,
Type roots point and calls align.
Tests thump softly: all is bright.

Preserve typed header information through MIR lowering and allow boxing allocation fusion when the registered header layout has no per-instance class word. Expand the Charon corpus and integration coverage for typed reads, narrowing, static class resolution, and allocation fusion. Also expose stable categories for the existing known-unported rtyper cases.
The two jitstats snapshots recorded bridges_compiled=7 and
guard_failures=1501. check.py run 32499609792 observed 8 and 1645 on
ubuntu-24.04, macos-latest and windows-latest, for both backends, and
reported the difference as a regression on all three.

8 and 1645 are what `origin/main` and this branch's base record, and what
the three hosts measure. Restored from the base.

The fixture was sized to clear EXEC_TIME_FLOOR_S. The constant that
decides whether a ratio is judged is FLOOR_GATE_MIN_BASELINE_S, ten times
larger: below it the floor gate declines the baseline as too small while
the ceiling still fires, and the comparison table marks the ratio `?`.

At N=406399 pypy's execution-only time measures 0.02s -- four times the
floor, 2.5x short of the gate minimum. check.py run 32499609792 read
0.01s on ubuntu and failed the fixture at 149.3x against a 63x ceiling
while pyre's own time went DOWN; run 32518791576, on an unrelated branch,
read 0.07s on the same fixture and passed it at 23.8x. N=2000000 puts
pypy at 0.17s.

… has

`mapdict_frozen_unboxing_fold` carried `guard_failures=11` and
`surrogate_class_kwargs` carried `loops_aborted=12` and
`fbw_blackhole_adopted_single_frame=12`. All three `pyre/check.py` legs read
13 and 14/14 instead, on dynasm, cranelift and wasm alike, and a local dynasm
run reads the same. No leg flagged either row `UNSTABLE`.

Neither move comes from this branch. `pull_request` CI runs the merge ref, so
main reaches the suite without the branch being touched, and two commits
landed between the run where both fixtures passed (32552199619, created
04:37Z) and the one where both failed (32559523138, 07:24Z):

  b7986c8 (#1410, 05:50Z) raised this fixture's `N` from 406399 to
    2000000 and left the baseline alone.
  4bce927 (#1400, 06:21Z) re-recorded 15 jitstats files of its own.

`guard_failures` here is one per doubling of `N` -- measured at
406399/812798/2000000/4000000/8000000 as 11/12/13/14/15 -- so 11 was the
count at the old size and 13 is the count at the new one. It is the list the
comprehension builds reallocating once per doubling: main records 2 for this
fixture and is green at the larger `N`, because the loop only reaches the JIT
under this branch's `LIST_APPEND` admission, which is what took it 2 -> 11.

`surrogate_class_kwargs` keeps `REPEAT=3200`; its counters follow it, at
800/1600/3200/6400 reading `loops_aborted` 2/5/14/33 with
`fbw_blackhole_adopted_single_frame` equal at every point.

A local dynasm run reads loops_compiled=2, bridges_compiled=1, loops_aborted=0
and guard_failures=201, which is the value each of these three files carried
before `64ae20d6801` moved them. The wasm file kept bridges_compiled=1 and
guard_failures=201 through that commit, so only its two moved rows come back.

`surrogate_class_kwargs` also covers this path and is not touched here: main
raised its `N` from 406399 to 2000000 in #1410 after the values it carried
before the force were recorded, so there is no earlier reading to return it to.
