Summary

Class members nested in a function or CommonJS module body captured enclosing var/let bindings by value snapshot instead of by reference: a method saw the value an enclosing var had at class-declaration time, and writes from constructors/static methods to a captured var were silently lost. This blocked @redis/client (static create(options) { return _a.factory(options)(options); } pattern, TypeScript's var _a; class X {…} _a = X; emit) and sql.js/emscripten (the FS.nextInode counter that never advances, corrupting FSNode.id).

Root cause

desugar_shared_mutable_captures (crates/perry-hir/src/lower/shared_mutable_capture.rs) — the box-sharing machinery from #5951/#6089 — decides whether a captured local is safe to promote from a value snapshot to a shared reference cell by counting how many times its LocalId is declared (Let) within the region, and requiring exactly one. A var is declared twice in HIR: once by the body-entry predefine slot (predefine_var_bindings_in_function_body), once by the declaration statement itself. Every var capture therefore failed the "exactly one declaration" check and fell back to the stale-by-value path — the bug looked like "class captures are broken for var" but was really "the ambiguity detector conflates a var's two HIR declaration sites with two distinct bindings." Two functions that each declared a same-named var plus a same-named class (twinOne/twinTwo in the issue) hit the same conflation from the other direction — a numeric-LocalId rewrite over one body isn't sound past a closure boundary that restarts its own id space (#5143 family), and the old counter had no notion of which scope a declaration belonged to.

Fix

Replace the flat declaration counter with DeclCensus/CensusWalker (same file): an execution-order walk that records each declaration's closure scope, name, and whether it's a dominating site (a param, or a direct body-entry statement outside a loop — i.e. it runs before every later site in its scope). DeclCensus::is_one_binding then accepts either a single declaration, or several redeclarations that all sit in the same closure scope under the same name with the first dominating — exactly the shape of a var. Declarations in different closure scopes stay ambiguous, preserving the #6089 fix. A var redeclaration that runs after a class has already captured the id (or that sits inside a loop, so it can re-run post-capture) is a real write to the shared cell, not a fresh binding — demote_var_redeclarations rewrites those redeclaration statements into plain assignments to the box. Captured cells are also now propagated explicitly to classes nested inside an already-captured class/member (propagate_cells_to_nested_classes).

Files: crates/perry-hir/src/lower/shared_mutable_capture.rs (bulk of the diff), plus lowering_context.rs, expr_new.rs, destructuring/var_decl.rs, expr_assign.rs, expr_member.rs, stmt.rs, context.rs, lower_expr/arm_class.rs for the surrounding plumbing (census call sites, redeclaration demotion hookup, nested-class propagation).

Tests added

  • test-files/test_gap_10485_class_member_var_captures.ts (+ test-files/_helpers/class_member_var_captures_10485.cjs): the TypeScript var _a; class X {…} _a = X CJS emit, plus every member kind (field init, field arrow, static/instance method, getter, static getter, nested class) reading a var/let/param after reassignment; constructor/static-method/setter writes to a captured var; a var redeclared with an initializer; the emscripten hoisted-factory shape; two same-named var n/class K pairs in sibling functions; a var declared inside a for loop body (one function-scoped binding); the ESM top-level alias shape (must keep working). Validated byte-for-byte against node --experimental-strip-types (Node 26.5.1).
    • Proof it fails on the baseline: built a pristine origin/main tree (parent of this branch) with the new test files copied in (no fix code) — PARITY_FAIL, Perry: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'factory') vs Node's factory(1). On this branch: PARITY_PASS, byte-identical to Node.
  • crates/perry-hir/src/lower/tests/class_member_var_captures.rs: 4 new unit tests over the lowered HIR (unmutated var keeps its snapshot fast path; a var mutated from a constructor becomes one shared cell; a class nested inside a member shares the same cell; sibling same-named class bindings construct their own class, not each other's).

Validation

  • cargo test --release -p perry-hir --tests: 745 passed, 0 failed (includes the 4 new class_member_var_captures tests).

  • Gap test: fails on a pristine baseline (parent commit + test files only), passes on this branch — see above.

  • Redis-shape spot check: the exact lib.cjs/main.ts repro from Class methods nested in a function or CommonJS module see a stale snapshot of enclosing vars assigned after the class (TypeScript var _a; … _a = X emit) #10485's body (var _a; class Client { static create(x) { return _a.factory(x); } } _a = Client;) now prints factory(1), matching Node; baseline prints THREW Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'factory').

  • Lint (SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh, this host's documented quirk): 76/77 gates passed; pre-existing red: Public benchmark evidence freshness (benchmarks/ci_public_baseline_check.py), red on every PR in this repo, not touched by this change. python3 scripts/check_test_registration.py: OK (336 files checked). check_file_size.sh: OK, shared_mutable_capture.rs is 1639 lines (cap 2000). cargo fmt --all -- --check: clean.

  • Perf (perf stat -e instructions,task-clock, 3 runs each, baseline vs this branch, both compiled PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1 for a consistent runtime archive):

    workload baseline (median instructions) fix (median instructions) delta
    closure-heavy, no class capture (benchmarks/suite/14_closure.ts, 50M iterations) 254,895,529 254,800,255 −0.04% (noise)
    compile time, class-heavy file (steady-state runs) 949,501,673 949,942,927 +0.05% (noise)
    issue repro scaled into a loop (declCtor/declStatic, 5M ctor calls + 5M static calls) 133,371,918,640 163,108,391,241 +22.3%
    class-heavy method-call workload, var-captured from a function-nested class (10M counter.increment() calls) 160,144,154,082 199,814,274,780 +24.8%

    The two capture-path workloads regress by ~22-25% instructions — this is an expected correctness cost, not a hot-path check: the baseline was faster because it silently dropped/misdirected the write-back this fix now performs correctly (a real heap-cell read-modify-write through the shared mutable cell per constructor/static-method call, where before there was none). The general case — any program without a var captured by a function-nested class — shows no measurable regression (both other rows are within noise). Node wall time on the repro-loop workload: 15ms (JIT-optimized allocation elision that Perry's AOT native codegen does not attempt); this is a pre-existing gap in this class of micro-loop, not something this PR changes or is positioned to fix.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed class members nested in functions and CommonJS modules so captured var and let bindings reflect later updates and writes.
    • Improved handling of nested classes and class expressions with same-named bindings, ensuring each class resolves to the correct definition.
    • Preserved efficient handling for captures that are not mutated.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for class-member captures, nested classes, CommonJS patterns, and same-name class bindings.

Class members nested in a function or CommonJS module body captured
enclosing var/let bindings by value snapshot instead of by reference: a
method saw the value the var had at class-declaration time, and writes
from constructors/static methods to a captured var were silently lost.

The desugar_shared_mutable_captures pass (#5951's box-sharing machinery)
decided whether a captured id was safe to box by counting Let
declarations per LocalId and requiring exactly one; a var is declared
twice in HIR (a body-entry predefine slot, then the declaration
statement itself), so every var capture was rejected as ambiguous and
fell back to the stale value-snapshot path. Two functions that each
declared a same-named var plus a same-named class could also collide.

Replace the declaration counter with a DeclCensus/CensusWalker that
walks a region in execution order and asks whether an id denotes ONE
binding (a single declaration, or several redeclarations in the same
closure scope under the same name where the first dominates) rather
than requiring literally one declaration. Redeclarations of an
already-captured id are demoted so the box, not a fresh local, is
written. Captured cells now propagate to nested classes explicitly.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now preserves live captures for class members nested in function or CommonJS scopes. It tracks class bindings by LocalId, handles var re-declarations and nested classes, and adds HIR and runtime regression coverage.

Changes

Class binding identity and resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local class identity tracking
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/..., crates/perry-hir/src/destructuring/var_decl.rs
Class bindings now track local identities, contested names, and registration keys. new, member access, and prototype assignment resolve these keys by LocalId.
Shared mutable capture rewriting
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/shared_mutable_capture.rs, changelog.d/10615-class-member-var-captures.md
Capture analysis uses execution-order declaration censuses. Re-declarations become assignments to existing cells, nested classes receive propagated cells, and redundant cell propagation is removed.
Regression coverage
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/tests.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower/tests/class_member_var_captures.rs, test-files/_helpers/class_member_var_captures_10485.cjs, test-files/test_gap_10485_class_member_var_captures.ts
HIR and runtime tests cover mutable and unmutated captures, nested classes, CommonJS aliases, loop-scoped var, hoisted class expressions, and same-named sibling bindings.

Clear the mapping for the resolved local when removing an inferred alias.

The private-class path in arm_class.rs removes the alias from names, but a prior class initializer can leave the same binding's LocalId in by_local. class_key_for returns that entry first, so C.staticField still passes the static-class check and lowers to StaticFieldGet instead of reading the fresh ClassExprFresh value.

Clear the exact by_local entry for the resolved assignment LocalId. Do not remove every entry whose class_key matches the name, because by_local tracks binding identity and contested class expressions can use distinct registration keys.

Replace the fixed nesting limit with cycle-aware traversal.

detect_shared_in_body calls class_mutates_capture at depth 0. The function checks the current class, then stops at depth 8 before visiting its depth-9 descendant. propagate_cells_to_nested_classes also performs only eight passes, so it cannot mark that descendant.

If the deepest class performs the only write, shared.ids remains unset. If an earlier class marks the capture as shared, the deepest class still lacks the shared-cell rewrite. Its write may remain private, which can produce stale reads or lost writes. Existing tests cover only one nested level.

Track visited (class_name, LocalId) states in class_mutates_capture, and run propagation to a set-based fixpoint. This prevents registration cycles without truncating valid acyclic nesting. Add a lowering regression for a depth-9 descendant.

1089, Replace the depth-based limits in class_mutates_capture and
propagate_cells_to_nested_classes with cycle-aware traversal: track visited
(class name, LocalId) states while recursively checking nested classes, and
iterate propagation until no new shared capture entries are added. Preserve
traversal of all acyclic nesting depths while preventing registration cycles,
and add a lowering regression covering a write in a depth-9 descendant.
