fix(codegen): guard builtin-named methods on the receiver's runtime kind - #10591
proggeramlug wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
A call whose method NAME matched a Date/Number/Array builtin (`getTime`, `toFixed`, `toISOString`, `toSorted`, `endsWith`, ...) lowered straight to the builtin's runtime entry point regardless of the receiver, because a method name alone was treated as proof of receiver kind. Any class, function-constructor prototype, or object literal defining a same-named method (dayjs's `toISOString`, decimal.js/bignumber.js's `toFixed`, a `Clock.getTime`, ...) had its own method silently skipped in favor of the builtin, producing NaN, "[object Object]", Invalid Date or an uncaught RangeError instead of calling the user's code (#10476). A 0-arg call of a user method sharing a name with a required-arg String builtin (`endsWith`/`includes`/`startsWith`) didn't even compile. Add crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/builtin_kind_guard.rs: for a receiver the compiler has proven to be a Date/number/array, keep the direct builtin call; for any other receiver, evaluate it once (rooted), then branch at runtime on its actual kind to either the builtin or the universal method dispatcher, which resolves an own/inherited user method and still reaches the builtin via the prototype chain for a real Date/number/array. Known-class receivers are left to the existing class dispatch tower. Companion changes in lower_array_method.rs, lower_string_method.rs, number_string.rs and the HIR-side expr_call lowering route the affected method names through this guard instead of the unconditional builtin path. Adds test-files/test_gap_10476_builtin_named_guarded_receivers.ts and test_gap_10476_builtin_named_user_methods.ts (both fail to compile or mismatch Node on main; both pass byte-for-byte against Node after this fix), plus unit coverage in builtin_kind_guard_tests.rs and builtin_named_user_methods_tests.rs. Known cost: for a receiver whose kind is NOT statically provable (an `any`-typed or otherwise unproven object calling a builtin-named method), the new runtime kind check adds real overhead. On a synthetic microbench exercising 200k iterations of such calls, `dayjs_shape` and `money_shape` land well outside the usual 20%-of-Node floor (see PR body for numbers); the prior "fast" baseline numbers for those two shapes were never valid, since the baseline computed the wrong answer (money_shape) or crashed (dayjs_shape) instead of doing the work Node does.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe compiler now preserves user-defined methods whose names match Date, Number, Array, or String builtins. Proven receivers still use direct builtin lowering. Other receivers use runtime kind checks and generic method dispatch. Array and zero-argument String lowering were also updated. ChangesBuiltin dispatch correctness

- Around line 129-214: Update try_lower_kind_guarded_builtin_method and
receiver_is_unproven so unresolved receivers are routed through property
resolution or universal dispatch before selecting Date, Number, or Array builtin
lowering. Do not apply guarded_call to any receiver whose own or prototype
runtime property may override the builtin; only use the builtin fast path after
lookup confirms no shadowing override, while preserving proven receiver paths.

Resolve unproven receivers before selecting the builtin. receiver_is_unproven only excludes compiled class method names from ctx.methods; it cannot see an own override or a prototype override installed at runtime. For an any result such as the external make() receiver used by builtin_kind_guard_tests.rs, guarded_call sends a genuine Date or Array directly to the builtin arm. The universal js_native_call_method lookup runs only for non-matching kinds, so a runtime Date/Array override can be skipped and the builtin result can be returned instead.
Route unproven receivers through property resolution or universal dispatch before using the builtin fast path. The builtin path must apply only when lookup confirms that no override shadows the builtin.

Summary
A method call whose name matches a
Date/Number/someArray.prototypebuiltin (getTime,toFixed,toISOString,toSorted,endsWith, ...) was lowered straight to that builtin's runtime entry pointregardless of what the receiver actually was. A method name was being treated as proof of receiver kind. Any
class, function-constructor prototype, or object literal that defines a same-named method — dayjs's
toISOString/toJSON, decimal.js/bignumber.js'stoFixed, a plainClock.getTime()— had its own methodsilently skipped in favor of the builtin, producing
NaN,"[object Object]",Invalid Date, or an uncaughtRangeError: Invalid time valueinstead of ever calling the user's code. A zero-arg call of a user methodsharing a name with a required-arg String builtin (
endsWith/includes/startsWith) didn't even compile.This note was recovered from a session mirror after the build host it was developed on (
84.32.71.237,perrybuilder) was shut down by its owner mid-session; every unpushed clone on it, including this fix's original
commits, was lost. The patch survived as a diff in the session's local scratchpad and was re-applied cleanly to
current
main, then fully re-validated from scratch on a new host (crate tests, both gap tests re-runagainst Node, the issue's own repro before/after, lint, and a fresh instructions-based perf A/B) — nothing below
is carried over from the lost run without being re-measured.
Root cause
crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get.rs(and the equivalent HIR-side lowering incrates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/{array_only_methods,local_array_methods,url_date_instance}.rs) dispatchedDate.prototype/Number.prototype/Array.prototypemethod names unconditionally to their runtime entry points(
js_date_*,js_number_to_*,js_array_*) whenever the method name matched, without checking whether thereceiver was actually a Date, a number, or an array.
Fix
New
crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/builtin_kind_guard.rs(484 lines + 283 lines of unittests in
builtin_kind_guard_tests.rs):kept — no behavior or perf change on that path.
then a runtime branch on its actual kind selects either the builtin runtime entry point or the universal
method dispatcher. The dispatcher resolves an own or inherited user method, and — for a receiver that really
is a Date/number/array at runtime — still reaches the builtin through the prototype chain, so builtin behavior
on real builtin receivers is unchanged.
Companion changes route the relevant method names through this guard:
lower_array_method.rs,lower_string_method.rs,lower_call/property_get/number_string.rson the codegen side;expr_call/{array_only_methods,local_array_methods,url_date_instance}.rson the HIR side (this is also whatfixes the
endsWith()/includes()/startsWith()0-arg compile failure — those names no longer force-routethrough the arg-count-checked String-builtin-only path when the receiver isn't provably a string).

"receiver really is a Date/number/array" control cases that must still hit the builtin.

mainbuild (9df5075fbe), both new gap testsfail to compile (
COMPILE_FAIL, 0/2) — theendsWith()0-arg case is a hard compile error onmain, so theharness can't even get to a byte-comparison. Against this fix's build, both pass byte-for-byte against Node
26.5.1 (2/2, 100%).
Validation
Crate tests (

perry-codegen --tests: all suites green, 1603+ passed / 0 failed (includes the new 10-testbuiltin_kind_guard_testsmodule).perry-hir --tests: all suites green, 451+ passed / 0 failed (includes the new 4-testbuiltin_named_user_methods_testsmodule).Issue repro, run directly (not through the harness) on both binaries:
main@9df5075fbe) reproduces every symptom in the issue verbatim:NaNforMoney.prototype.toFixed,[object Object]forgetTime,RangeError: Invalid time valuefortoISOString/toJSON, and a hard compile failure (String.endsWith expects 1 or 2 args, got 0) for thezero-arg
endsWith()case.endsWith()case.

broadly enough that the 6 CI gap-suite shards are the right backstop for anything beyond these two tests; will
check
gh pr checksper the reviewing pass below rather than run the full local suite (host stalls underauto-optimize).
Performance — a real, deliberate cost on unproven receivers (please read)
For a receiver the compiler can prove is a Date/number/array (typed locals, typed params, literals), this
fix adds a runtime kind check that resolves to a compile-time no-op — those paths are unaffected. Measured
control shapes (
date_typed,fixed_typed,fixed_any,ends_typed,sorted_typed,date_any) all sitwithin ~2% of baseline instruction counts — noise on this shared host.
For a receiver whose kind is not statically provable and that calls a builtin-named method, the new runtime
branch is real, unavoidable overhead: a probe (
dj.toJSON()/dj.valueOf()andm.toFixed()onany-typedlocals, 200k iterations,
perf stat -e instructions, 3 runs) gives:dayjs_shapeRangeError: Invalid time valuemoney_shape600000(Node/fix:1000000)The baseline's instruction counts and wall times for these two shapes are not valid comparators — the
baseline is cheap for
dayjs_shapebecause it throws before doing 200k iterations of real work, and it is cheapfor
money_shapebecause it silently computes the wrong answer (dispatches to a numeric builtin instead of theuser's method). "The old speed was the bug." There is no valid same-work baseline number for these two shapes;
the only honest comparison is fix-vs-Node.
Both shapes land well outside the project's 20%-of-Node floor — this is larger than a one-line "exceeds the
floor" note would suggest, and I'm flagging it explicitly rather than smoothing it over: any hot loop that
repeatedly calls a builtin-named method on a receiver Perry cannot statically prove the type of (typically
any-typed interop with a class library like dayjs/decimal.js) will now pay a real, measurable runtime-dispatchtax to get the correct answer instead of a wrong one quickly. I did not find a way to shrink this within the
scope of this fix without either reintroducing the bug or a larger redesign of receiver-kind proof upstream
(narrowing more
anytypes before codegen) — flagging for the owner to weigh correctness-vs-speed here ratherthan deciding unilaterally to ship or block on it.
What I did not verify
