Summary

Calls with more than 16 arguments now work on every dynamic call path, and Reflect.apply passes its whole argument list.

Root cause

The codegen and the runtime both had fixed argument-count ceilings, and past each one the extra arguments were rejected or dropped without an error:

site ceiling effect
lower_call/early_branches.rs:354 (CurrentStepClosure), :448 (closure-typed local), extern_func.rs:1869 (imported var) bail! above 16 compile error
extern_func.rs:1358 (node-submodule export call) .min(16) + .take(16) args 17+ dropped
codegen/artifacts.rs:789/842/1069 (__perry_wrap_* function-value wrappers), helpers.rs:1497 params.len().min(16) runtime dispatches the registered 18-slot ABI into a 16-param wrapper, so params 17/18 read 0 (apply/call/spread/object-literal method)
artifacts.rs:1237 (class-method value wrappers) .min(32) same, past 32
closure/registry.rs dispatch_with_arity exact arms 0..=32, _ => undefined a body declaring 33+ params is never called
closure/registry.rs dispatch_rest_bundled exact arms 0..=15, _ => undefined rest after 16+ fixed params, and every arguments user with 16+ declared params (arguments.length + ":" + a18undefined), is never called
proxy.rs:923 call_with_this_and_args (Reflect.apply) _ => js_closure_call4 args 5+ dropped
timer.rs:1353/1749, builtins/globals.rs:1207 (setTimeout / setInterval / process.nextTick trailing args) _ => js_closure_call9 args 10+ dropped

call_trap (proxy.rs:720) keeps its _ => js_closure_call4 arm. A proxy trap gets at most four arguments by spec, so nothing is dropped there.

Fix

  • Codegen: a new helper, lower_call::emit_closure_handle_call, is now the single emitter for calls through a closure handle. Up to 16 arguments still use js_closure_call{N}, and the emitted IR is unchanged. Wider calls store the arguments in an entry-block [N x double] buffer and call js_closure_call_array. This is the pattern console_promise.rs, static_method.rs and namespace_call.rs already used for Compile a standard Express app: full blocker inventory (codegen emits undefined @perry_closure_* globals → linked-but-crashing binary) #3527, and those three sites now call the helper too. The three bail!s and the .min(16) truncation are gone. Function-value, alias and class-method wrappers now take every declared parameter.
  • Runtime:
    • Wide bodies: a new module, closure/wide_call.rs, handles bodies wider than the exact transmute arms. It copies the slots into a buffer sized to the next width on a ladder (64, 256 or 1024), fills the rest with undefined, and calls the body through that wider signature.
      • Why this is safe: on SysV x86-64, AAPCS64 (including Apple's) and Win64, arguments are assigned left to right and the caller owns the stack argument area, so the body reads only the parameters it declares. Every js_closure_callN call with more arguments than the body declares already relies on this.
      • Where it is used: dispatch_with_arity (33+ params) and dispatch_rest_bundled (16+ fixed params).
      • Over the limit: a body wider than 1024 slots throws RangeError; before, it returned undefined silently.
    • js_closure_call_array (more than 16 arguments):
      • Routing: one memoized resolve_strategy probe now picks the route, the same way js_closure_callN does. The chained helpers it replaces looked up the unmemoized body record on every call.
      • Width: a body with a registered arity is called at exactly that width. A long fn.apply(null, arr) therefore never passes more slots than the body declares.
    • Other call sites: Reflect.apply, the timer paths and nextTick now pass lists longer than their fixed arms to js_closure_call_array.

Code diff excluding tests: about +285/−206 lines (wide_call.rs also holds ~165 lines of unit tests).

Tests

  • Gap test test-files/test_gap_10420_call_arity_limits.ts, with helper module test-files/_helpers/call_arity_10420.ts; 357 output lines.
    • Sizes: 17, 18, 32 and 64 arguments, plus 3 and 16 as fast-path controls.
    • Callee shapes: arrow value, qs-shaped recursive var f = function f, declaration reading arguments.length, imported arrow const and imported var function expression, and rest params (local and imported). Each is called directly, through a value with the full list and with 3 args, and via apply, .call(...spread), spread, Reflect.apply and bind.
    • Also covered: under- and over-applied apply; Reflect.construct on a function and on a class; new C(...spread); class and object-literal methods called directly and via apply/.call/spread/Reflect.apply; rest after 17 fixed params.
    • Reflect.apply silently drops every argument after the fourth #10425's repro, plus: arguments with 100 arguments, Math.max.apply with 200 arguments, and setTimeout (12 args), setInterval (10) and nextTick (11).
    • Fails on baseline 7661bc0: COMPILE_FAIL (closure call with 17 args (max 16)).
    • Baseline runtime failures: a copy of the test without the direct closure-value calls (so it compiles on baseline) differs from Node on 99 lines there:
      • undefined for 33+ params and for arguments users with 16+ params;
      • 17:1:0:136 from Reflect.construct;
      • Reflect.apply truncation;
      • timer and nextTick args clamped to 9.
    • Passes on this branch: identical to Node 26.5.1 through run_parity_tests.sh --filter test_gap_10420.
  • Codegen unit tests in lower_call/closure_call_arity_tests.rs:
    • an 18-argument closure-value call compiles to js_closure_call_array(..., i64 18);
    • a 3-argument call keeps js_closure_call3;
    • an 18-param function's value wrapper forwards all 18 params.
  • Runtime unit tests:
    • closure::wide_call: every ladder width delivers each slot in order; missing slots get undefined; slots past the width are not forwarded; dispatch_with_arity(40) and dispatch_rest_bundled with 16 fixed params reach the body.
    • proxy::reflect_misc: Reflect.apply passes all 6 arguments.

Validation

  • cargo test --release -p perry-codegen --tests: 2072 passed, 0 failed.
  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --tests: 3980 passed, 1 failed. The failure is gc::tests::heap_generation::a_free_or_move_outside_every_scope_is_caught_in_debug_builds. It asserts that a #[cfg(debug_assertions)]-only check fires, so it fails under any --release test build. It is unrelated to this change.
  • Lint: cargo fmt --all -- --check is clean. ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh (full, compile tier included) passed 82 of 83 gates, with 2 CI-only gates skipped. The one red, benchmarks/ci_public_baseline_check.py ("public artifact benchmark inputs changed"), is pre-existing: it fails the same way on a checkout of 7661bc0. check_test_registration.py and check_file_size.sh pass.
  • Gap suite (PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 ./scripts/run_gap_tests.sh, Node 26.5.1, against baseline 7661bc0): no regressions. This branch has 820 tests (the new one included): 814 pass and 6 are parity fails. The baseline has the same 6 parity fails (2159_defineproperty_class_prototype, 2514_settracesigint, json_lazy_defineproperty_index, perfhooks_3088_…, prop_plan_cache_invalidation, v8_2_3680plus) plus a network-dependent 9536_fetch_url_error node_fail. The first full run also reported 23 ext-routed tests (http/net/zlib/events) as COMPILE_FAIL. That was a build-stamp mismatch: I committed mid-run, so auto-optimize archives built after the commit no longer matched the compiler binary built from the uncommitted tree, and the host disk also filled up during that window. After rebuilding from the committed tree, all 23, plus 9536_fetch_url_error, pass when re-run one by one with run_parity_tests.sh --filter.

Medians of 3 runs. The −10.5% on p20_any comes from the single memoized strategy probe, which replaces the per-call body-record lookups (an earlier version of this PR that added a second lookup measured +7.2% here, and I reworked it). Perry is still well behind Node on the ≥17-argument call and on Function.prototype.apply (Perry wall time ≈1.05 s and ≈7.2 s against Node's 0.13 s and 0.32 s). Both gaps exist on the baseline too; they are not regressions and are out of scope here.

Package check

qs 6.15.3, unpatched, with compilePackages: ["qs"], compiles now; before this change it failed with closure call with 18 args (max 16) in lib/stringify.js. On the audit's 32-line qs script, 31 lines match Node, including every qs.stringify case (nested objects, all four arrayFormats, allowDots, filter, encoder, unicode) and the parse→stringify round trip. The remaining line is qs.parse("__proto__[polluted]=1&a[__proto__][b]=2&c=3"): Perry gives {"a":{},"c":"3"}, Node gives {"c":"3"}. That is #10482 (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty("__proto__") is false in Perry), which is qs's next blocker and is not part of this PR.

Not verified

  • Only Linux x64 was run. The padded-width calls rely on the caller-cleanup ABI property above for AAPCS64 and Win64, which the existing more-args-than-declared transmutes already depend on, but they were not executed on those targets.
  • The runtime unit tests were not re-run against the baseline source. Baseline failure is shown through the gap test and its compile-able copy instead.
  • express / body-parser extended parsing were not compiled.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Function calls now support more than 16 arguments without compilation failures or silently dropping trailing values.
    • .apply, .call, spread calls, constructors, and bound functions preserve complete argument lists.
    • Reflect.apply, timers, and process.nextTick now forward all supplied arguments.
    • Wide-arity functions, rest parameters, methods, and callbacks now execute correctly, with clear errors for unsupported extremely large calls.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for fixed, wide, rest-parameter, imported, recursive, and constructor calls.

…alls

Calling a function VALUE with more than 16 arguments was a hard codegen
error (`closure call with 18 args (max 16)`) at three sites, and dynamic
calls silently dropped arguments past several fixed widths:

- `__perry_wrap_*` function-value wrappers took at most 16 params, so
  apply/call/spread/object-literal-method calls of an 18-param function
  passed 0 for params 17 and 18 (class-method wrappers stopped at 32);
- `dispatch_with_arity` (> 32 declared params) and `dispatch_rest_bundled`
  (>= 16 fixed params, including `arguments` users) returned `undefined`
  without calling the body;
- `Reflect.apply` dispatched every list of 4+ arguments through
  `js_closure_call4`;
- setTimeout/setInterval/process.nextTick clamped trailing args to 9.

Closure-value call sites now share `emit_closure_handle_call`: up to 16
args keep `js_closure_call{N}`, wider calls marshal a stack buffer into
`js_closure_call_array`. Wrappers take every declared param. Bodies wider
than the exact runtime arms are called through a padded ladder of widths
(64/256/1024 slots, undefined-filled) in `closure::wide_call`, and the
wide `js_closure_call_array` arm resolves its route with one memoized
strategy probe. qs 6.15.3 compiles from source.

🟠 Major · Remove the remaining 32-parameter caps. · artifacts.rs:922-1165

crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/artifacts.rs:922-1165
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the remaining 32-parameter caps.

Both export-alias wrappers use f.params.len().min(32) to define their parameters and forwarded call arguments. Functions with more than 32 parameters can reach these wrappers through renamed or default exports, but only the first 32 arguments reach the target function.

Use f.params.len() in both paths.

Proposed fix
-                let arity = f.params.len().min(32);
+                let arity = f.params.len();
...

Keep node-submodule arguments rooted until dispatch.

This branch lowers arguments before js_node_submodule_export_as_function. On the first export lookup, ensure_export_singleton calls js_closure_alloc, which has a collecting allocation path. A moving collection can relocate pointer-valued arguments while their SSA values retain stale NaN-boxed pointers.

Use a rooted operand group that lowers arguments incrementally, keeps them rooted across closure materialization, re-reads them, and releases them after dispatch. The imported-variable branch already follows this contract.

Update the node-submodule export call branch around emit_closure_handle_call to
use the rooted operand-group pattern from the imported-variable branch: lower
arguments incrementally, keep the resulting operands rooted through closure
materialization and dispatch, re-read them after materialization, then release
the group after the call.

Root both arrays before wide dispatch.

When kind == UserRestAndArguments and fixed_arity > 15, the second build_rest_array calls js_array_alloc, which reaches arena_cell_alloc and can run moving GC. rest_double is only a raw NaN-boxed value after build_rest_array drops its local scope, so the first array can move before the wide branch pushes it into slots.

Root rest_double and the second array in the outer RuntimeHandleScope. Re-read both handles immediately before dispatch_wide_abi.

Root the argument values before rebinding. Reflect.apply stores its arguments in an unrooted Vec<f64>, then rebind_explicit_this calls clone_closure_rebind_this, which allocates a new closure. That allocation can collect and move pointer-valued arguments. js_closure_call_array roots values only after reading them, so it can receive stale NaN-boxed pointers. Root the arguments before rebinding and rebuild the dispatch slice from the updated handles before calling js_closure_call_array.

…n move them

#10532 removed the argument-count ceilings on dynamic calls, but two
flows in that path held GC values in plain Rust locals across an
allocation:

- Reflect.apply rebinds a concise-method callee's captured `this`,
  which CLONES the closure -- the one shape rebind_explicit_this
  allocates for. The callee, receiver and every argument sat in plain
  locals across that clone.
- CreateListFromArrayLike's array-like path allocates an index-key
  string per element (and can run a getter), with the source object
  and previously-read elements sitting in plain locals across it.
- A (...fixed, ...rest) body that also synthesizes `arguments` builds
  TWO arrays; the second allocation could move the first, which the
  bundler then handed the callee by its pre-move address.

Root only where a collection is actually possible: a new
rebind_explicit_this_allocates predicate (kept in sync with
rebind_explicit_this's clone shape by a same-file test) lets the
common non-cloning Reflect.apply path skip rooting entirely, and only
the cloning shape takes the rooted slow path. value_can_move() skips
rooting immediate values (numbers, undefined/null, etc.) in the
array-like path. A first cut of this rewrite rooted unconditionally
and cost Reflect.apply +38.8% instructions; this version measures near
zero (see perf table in the PR).

Adds gc/collection_points.rs (named, test-only collection points so a
rooting regression test can arm a copying minor at a specific
allocation inside one call) and
gc/tests/runtime_roots/call_argument_lists.rs, which reproduces all
three flows and asserts the callee observes post-collection addresses.

Recovered from a mirror after the original build host was destroyed
mid-validation; re-verified (apply, build, new tests, cargo fmt,
lint gates) from scratch on a fresh clone.
