Summary

Buffer.prototype's own (enumerable) property set had 36 bogus entries — including two bare string literals, "function" and "undefined", plus DataView accessors, Uint8Array.prototype/TC39 base64-hex methods, and Object.prototype methods that all belong further up the prototype chain, not as own properties of Buffer.prototype — and was missing 16 of Node's own members: the 14 internal <encoding>Slice/<encoding>Write methods and the deprecated offset/parent accessors.

Fixed all 96 of Node's own properties: removed all 36 bogus entries, added all 14 <encoding>Slice/<encoding>Write methods (with real, working dispatch behavior, not just enumeration stubs), and added offset/parent as real accessor descriptors. Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Buffer.prototype).sort() and the for-in count now match Node 26.5.1 exactly (96 own, 95 enumerable).

Root cause

BUFFER_PROTOTYPE_METHODS in crates/perry-runtime/src/object/native_module/callable_exports.rs (which populates Buffer.prototype's own enumerable properties at constructor-mint time) was — per its own comment — "generated from the dispatcher's own is_buffer_method_name table so the two can't drift." That table (crates/perry-runtime/src/object/buffer_dispatch.rs) answers a different question: whether a property read on a Buffer instance should synthesize a bound-method closure, so typeof buf.hasOwnProperty === "function" works via duck-typing even though Perry backs buffers with a raw BufferHeader outside the normal object/prototype-chain model. It's deliberately broad — it also recognizes names a Buffer instance answers only by inheritance (Uint8Array.prototype.at/set/entries/keys/values/copyWithin/toBase64/toHex/setFromBase64/setFromHex), by DataView accessors on a DataView-marked buffer (getInt32/setFloat64/…), and by Object.prototype (hasOwnProperty/isPrototypeOf/propertyIsEnumerable/valueOf). None of those belong on Buffer.prototype itself as OWN properties in Node — they're inherited further up the chain. The two bare literals "function"/"undefined" had drifted in from nearby prose/JS-idiom comments (mysql2's typeof mock[k] === "function" probe, quoted right there in the surrounding doc comments) and were never real method names at all.

Conflating the two tables is what produced both halves of the issue: the instance-read predicate's necessary breadth leaked into the prototype's own-key enumeration.

Fix

  • crates/perry-runtime/src/object/native_module/callable_exports.rs: curated BUFFER_PROTOTYPE_METHODS down to Node's actual 96-name own-property surface — removed the 36 bogus entries, added the 14 internal <encoding>Slice/<encoding>Write names, and left is_buffer_method_name (the instance-read predicate) untouched. Added offset/parent as real accessor descriptors ({ enumerable: true, configurable: false }, matching Node's ObjectDefineProperty(Buffer.prototype, name, { enumerable: true, get() {…} }) exactly) via a new install_buffer_prototype_getter helper, resolving this through IMPLICIT_THIS the same way ctor_thunks.rs's Web Crypto getters do. Ordinary instance reads of .offset/.parent already resolved correctly before this fix (a separate fast path in get_field_by_name_tail.rs short-circuits ahead of the prototype chain) — these accessors matter for reflection (Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(Buffer.prototype, "offset")) and enumeration, which is what the issue is about.
  • crates/perry-runtime/src/object/buffer_dispatch.rs: added real dispatch behavior for the 14 new methods (asciiSlice/Write, base64Slice/Write, base64urlSlice/Write, hexSlice/Write, latin1Slice/Write, ucs2Slice/Write, utf8Slice/Write) — each is the same operation as toString(encoding, start, end) / write(string, offset, length, encoding) with the encoding fixed by the method name, delegating to the existing js_buffer_to_string_range/js_buffer_write_len helpers. Also added the 14 names to is_buffer_method_name so duck-typed instance reads (typeof buf.utf8Slice === "function") work too, matching every other method in that list.
  • crates/perry-runtime/src/buffer/copy_write.rs + from.rs: implementing ucs2Write surfaced a dormant, pre-existing gap it directly depends on — js_buffer_write_len's encoding match never handled tag 6 (utf16le/ucs2) at all, silently writing raw UTF-8 bytes instead of UTF-16LE-encoding the string. This was already wrong in the generic buf.write(str, offset, "utf16le") path (confirmed on the pristine baseline: write utf16le: 2 4869000000000000 instead of Node's write utf16le: 4 4800690000000000) — I fixed it because the new ucs2Write method calls the exact same helper and would have been equally wrong otherwise. Reused the existing UTF-16LE encoder Buffer.from(str, "utf16le") already uses (from::utf16le_string_bytes, bumped to pub(crate) to share it), rather than duplicating the logic.

Surgical diff: 4 files, ~200 net lines, no other crates touched.

Tests

New gap test test-files/test_gap_10426_buffer_prototype_shape.ts, oracle Node 26.5.1. Checked property-by-property, not by eye: Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Buffer.prototype).sort() printed in full (own count + full sorted name list — a byte-for-byte diff against Node, so any remaining gap fails the test, not just the spot-checked names below) plus the for-in count; descriptor shape (writable/enumerable/configurable/accessor-vs-data) for constructor, an old method (write/toString/toLocaleString), and every new member (offset, parent, and 7 of the 14 Slice/Write names); explicit absence checks for 5 of the removed bogus names; the mysql2-motivating idiom itself (for (const k in Buffer.prototype) if (typeof mock[k] === "function") mock[k] = noop, asserting the no-op count); functional round-trips for all 14 new methods on fixed byte sources (including a base64-vs-base64url-distinguishing byte sequence and a cross-check against the existing toString/write paths they delegate to); offset/parent values on a real subarray instance (regression control — already correct pre-fix) and via the new accessor's .get invoked directly off Buffer.prototype (the reflection path the accessor exists for, including the non-buffer thisundefined case); and regression checks that the removed-from-own-list names are still reachable as duck-typed instance reads (typeof b.hasOwnProperty, b.at(0)) while genuinely absent from Buffer.prototype's own keys.

Before/after: on the pristine baseline (commit 68a545439), own 116 for-in 115, has 'function': true has 'undefined': true, and the full name list matches the issue's "Only in Perry"/"Only in Node" diff exactly; calling src.utf8Slice(0, 5) throws TypeError: (Buffer).utf8Slice is not a function (uncaught, confirmed via direct run). On this branch, output is byte-identical to Node (own 96 for-in 95, has 'function': false has 'undefined': false). Harness: PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter test_gap_10426 → PARITY_FAIL/crash on the baseline binary, PASS on this branch.

Regression sweep (all still 100% pass, same binary): test_gap_buffer_* (8), test_gap_dataview_* (2), test_gap_typedarray_tostringtag, test_gap_uint8array_* (3).

Validation

  • cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --lib (RUST_TEST_THREADS=1): 4022 passed, 2 failed, 4 ignored. The 2 failures (gc::tests::copy_slot_decode::sabotaged_remembering_arm_is_refused_by_the_coverage_cross_check, gc::tests::heap_generation::a_free_or_move_outside_every_scope_is_caught_in_debug_builds) are pre-existing on the pristine baseline — confirmed by running the same two tests directly against the unmodified baseline tree (/root/claude-fix-10426-10427-baseline @ 68a545439): identical failures, identical messages. GC internals unrelated to this change.

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: clean.

  • python3 scripts/check_test_registration.py: OK (338 files checked against 4 registries).

  • scripts/check_file_size.sh: OK — the largest touched file (callable_exports.rs) is 1940 lines, under the 2000-line cap.

  • ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh (SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1): 76/77 passed; the one red (Public benchmark evidence freshness) is the pre-existing, repo-wide red documented in the workflow notes — not touched by this change.

  • Gap suite: targeted filters above (all pass); full local suite not run (this change is confined to Buffer/Uint8Array prototype population and dispatch, not a hot lowering/runtime path used by most programs).

  • Performance: perf stat -e instructions,task-clock, 3 runs each, release binaries. Two things measured: (a) the new methods aren't pathologically expensive, and (b) — the actually-relevant regression question, since Buffer.prototype's constructor-mint-time table population and dispatch_buffer_method's match both grew — that an existing method's dispatch cost is unaffected by the larger match statement and longer prototype-method list. Both a 2,000,000-iteration loop:

    program baseline instructions (avg of 3) fixed instructions (avg of 3)
    buf.toString('utf8', 0, 0) (pre-existing method, control for (b)) 15.20B 15.25B
    buf.utf8Slice(0, 0) (new method, doesn't exist on baseline) 6.28B

    (b) is within noise (~0.3%) — adding 14 names to BUFFER_PROTOTYPE_METHODS/is_buffer_method_name and 14 match arms to dispatch_buffer_method does not measurably change the cost of dispatching an existing method. (a) has no baseline comparison (the method didn't exist before this PR, so there's nothing to regress against) but is directly informative: utf8Slice is cheaper than toString('utf8', 0, 0), not more expensive, because it skips toString's argument-count branching and string-to-encoding-tag resolution in favor of a fixed constant.

  • Package check: the issue names mysql2 3.23.2's Packet.MockBuffer() as the motivating impact. No live MySQL fixture is available in this environment (test_issue_8745_8746_mysql2_operation_isolation, the closest registered gap test, is itself gated SKIP: requires a live MySQL fixture), so I did not re-run the actual package end-to-end. My own gap test directly exercises the exact idiom mysql2 uses (the mock/no-op for-in loop over Buffer.prototype) and confirms the visited-key count now matches Node (93 real methods, matching Node's own-property count minus constructor/offset/parent) instead of the inflated 113 the bogus/missing surface produced on the baseline.

What I did not verify

  • The full (non-filtered) gap suite and the 8-shard auto-optimize mode — left to CI's gap-suite shards.
  • mysql2 3.23.2's actual end-to-end query path (no live MySQL fixture available here — see Package check above).
  • js_buffer_write (the simpler, no-length sibling of js_buffer_write_len) has the same missing-utf16le-encoding gap I fixed in js_buffer_write_len — I did not fix it, since none of my new code calls it and it's outside this issue's scope (Buffer.prototype's own-property shape). Noting it here as a new bug found: Buffer.alloc(8).write("Hi", 0, "utf16le") still returns the wrong byte count / raw UTF-8 bytes instead of UTF-16LE, whenever that call happens to route through js_buffer_write rather than js_buffer_write_len (both exist in crates/perry-runtime/src/buffer/copy_write.rs).

Fixes #10426

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added fixed-encoding Buffer slice and write methods, including ASCII, UTF-8, and UTF-16LE support.
    • Added deprecated parent and offset Buffer accessors for compatibility.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected UTF-16LE handling when writing strings with length limits.
    • Corrected Buffer.prototype’s own property list to match Node.js behavior, removing incorrectly listed inherited or non-method entries.

Buffer.prototype had 36 bogus own properties (including bare string
literals "function"/"undefined" that had drifted in from nearby
prose/JS-idiom comments, plus DataView/Uint8Array.prototype/
Object.prototype methods that belong further up the prototype chain)
and was missing 16 of Node's own members: the 14 internal
<encoding>Slice/<encoding>Write methods and the deprecated offset/
parent accessors.

Root cause: BUFFER_PROTOTYPE_METHODS (which populates Buffer.prototype's
own enumerable properties) was generated from the SAME name table
buffer_dispatch::is_buffer_method_name uses to decide whether a property
read on a Buffer INSTANCE should synthesize a bound-method closure -
deliberately broad, for duck-typed inherited-method reads - conflating
that broad instance-read predicate with the narrow set of names that
should be Buffer.prototype's own keys.

Decoupled the two: curated BUFFER_PROTOTYPE_METHODS down to Node's real
96-name own-property surface (removing the 36 bogus entries, adding the
14 internal Slice/Write methods with real dispatch behavior, and adding
offset/parent as accessor descriptors), while leaving
is_buffer_method_name's broader instance-read predicate untouched.

Also fixed a dormant gap the new ucs2Write method depends on:
js_buffer_write_len's encoding match never handled tag 6 (utf16le/
ucs2), silently writing raw UTF-8 bytes instead - a pre-existing defect
in buf.write(str, offset, 'utf16le') too.

🟡 Minor · Do not write partial UTF-16 code units. · copy_write.rs:113-119

crates/perry-runtime/src/buffer/copy_write.rs:113-119
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not write partial UTF-16 code units.

ucs2Write passes encoding tag 6 to js_buffer_write_len. The helper produces two bytes per UTF-16 code unit, then truncates to min(available, max_len). If that effective limit is odd, the copy writes one byte of a code unit and returns an odd byte count. For example, Buffer.alloc(1).ucs2Write("A", 0) can write one byte and return 1.

Node's WriteUCS2 limits the write to buflen / 2 complete code units and returns twice that count. Round the effective UTF-16LE limit down to an even byte count before the copy. Apply this only to encoding 6; keep the current byte-based limit for other encodings.

official Node.js source Buffer.prototype utf8Slice utf8Write ParseArrayIndex current

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The current official Node.js implementation is in src/node_buffer.cc on the main branch: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/src/node_buffer.cc. It contains ParseArrayIndex, which treats undefined as the supplied default, converts other values with V8 IntegerValue(), rejects negative values, rejects values that do not fit in size_t, and writes the result through the output pointer. The helper returns an empty Maybe when conversion throws and Just(false) for out-of-bounds input. [1] The same native source implements the UTF-8 slice path (StringSlice, exposed through the internal buffer binding). It validates the receiver as a Buffer/ArrayBufferView, defaults start to 0 and end to the buffer length, calls ParseArrayIndex for both, returns an empty string when end &lt;= start, and decodes the selected byte range with Node’s UTF-8 string conversion. [1] utf8Slice and the corresponding encoding-specific write methods are also represented in Node’s internal TypeScript declarations: utf8Slice(start, end): string, while the declarations shown for encoding-specific writes include methods such as base64Write, hexWrite, and ucs2Write; UTF-8 writing is exposed through the native/static binding as utf8WriteStatic. [2] The historical JavaScript encoding dispatch explicitly routes UTF-8 writes to buf.utf8Write(string, offset, len) and UTF-8 slices to buf.utf8Slice(start, end). [3] For public API guidance, current Node documentation recommends the documented buf.toString([encoding[, start[, end]]]) and buf.write(string[, offset[, length]][, encoding]) APIs rather than relying on these long-standing encoding-specific methods. Node’s documentation states that UTF-8 is the default encoding and that invalid UTF-8 bytes decode as U+FFFD. [4] A current Node pull request specifically proposes documenting the previously public encoding-specific Buffer.prototype.*Slice() and *Write() methods, while recommending buf.toString()/buf.write() for common use. [5] In short: for current source inspection, use src/node_buffer.cc for ParseArrayIndex and the native UTF-8 slice/write implementations; use lib/buffer.js/the historical encoding-dispatch code to see how Buffer.prototype methods route to utf8Slice and utf8Write; and use buf.toString(&#39;utf8&#39;, start, end) plus buf.write(str, offset, length, &#39;utf8&#39;) as the stable public interfaces.

These APIs have been public but undocumented. Maintainer discussion on `#46467` favored documenting them (rather than leaving them undocumented), with a recommendation that callers prefer [`buf.toString()`][] / [`buf.write()`][] in the common case. This revisits the approach from closed `#48041`, with corrected examples/signatures and clearer notes for binary-to-text `*Write` methods (input is encoding text to decode, matching `buf.write(..., encoding)`). Fixes: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/46467 ## Test plan - [x] Ran the documented examples against current Node and verified printed values - [ ] CI / doc lint on this PR ## Timeline - someone committed - nodejs-github-bot added label "buffer" - nodejs-github-bot added label "doc"

Match Node’s ParseArrayIndex semantics for fixed slice/write arguments.

arg_i32 does not distinguish explicit undefined from zero. Therefore, utf8Slice(1, undefined) passes end = 0 instead of the buffer length, and utf8Write("x", 0, undefined) passes max_len = 0 instead of the remaining capacity.

The fixed slice path also clamps negative starts and oversized ends in js_buffer_to_string_range. The fixed write path clamps negative or oversized offsets in js_buffer_write_len. Node rejects negative indices and invalid slice ends or write offsets with its ParseArrayIndex checks. Node still limits a valid write length to the remaining capacity; do not change that behavior to reject oversized lengths.

Add equivalent undefined defaults and validation before calling these helpers.

Update the fixed slice and write argument handling around
js_buffer_to_string_range and js_buffer_write_len to distinguish explicit
undefined from numeric zero: use the default end or remaining capacity when the
optional argument is undefined. Validate starts, slice ends, and write offsets
with ParseArrayIndex-equivalent rejection of negative or oversized values before
invoking the helpers, while preserving clamping of valid write lengths to the
remaining buffer capacity.

js_closure_alloc can collect before returning, and set_bound_native_closure_name can collect while installing the closure name. This helper keeps proto_obj and closure as raw pointers across those calls. The field setter roots and refreshes its own obj, key, and value, but it cannot update the caller's raw variables. If that call relocates the prototype or closure, set_builtin_accessor_descriptor receives stale proto_obj and getter bits.

Create a RuntimeHandleScope before js_closure_alloc. Root the prototype before allocation and the closure immediately after allocation. Invoke set_bound_native_closure_name through the closure handle, then reload the prototype and closure handles after the call. Root the key after js_string_from_bytes and keep it rooted through the field set. Reload the prototype after js_object_set_field_by_name and derive the descriptor's getter bits from the refreshed closure. The key does not need to remain rooted for set_builtin_accessor_descriptor, which accepts an owned Rust String.

lines 481 - 503, Update install_buffer_prototype_getter to use a
RuntimeHandleScope: root proto_obj before js_closure_alloc, root the returned
closure immediately, invoke set_bound_native_closure_name through its handle,
and reload both prototype and closure afterward. Root the key after
js_string_from_bytes, keep it rooted through js_object_set_field_by_name, reload
the prototype after that call, and derive the accessor getter bits from the
refreshed closure before calling set_builtin_accessor_descriptor.

Pushed the cfg-gated fix and read CI's own cargo-test job on the real
failing runner: green (run 35433215970) where the unconditional
perry_thread_local! swap was red (run 35374727647), same commit
otherwise. That settles causation directly, superseding the local
repro attempts (macOS both arms, qemu Linux) which all came back
clean and were inconclusive on their own -- including a qemu-VM A/B
whose two SIGKILLs were momentarily misread as a reproduced crash
before being traced to an operator pkill -f self-match, not a fault.

Also resolves why cargo-test stayed green on #10644/#10647/#10650/
#10651 against the same base: none of them touch shadow_stack.rs, and
this PR was never merged to main, so their runs never contained the
change at all.

The internal mechanism inside tls_hot.rs's resolution path is still
not understood; #10709 tracks that open half. This commit only updates
the code comment and changelog to say plainly what is now confirmed
versus what remains unknown.

Landed in merge train 222 (#10732), released as v0.5.1601 — main is now 7c5d04d0ea.

Closing rather than merging is how trains work here: the eight PRs were cherry-picked onto one tree, validated together, and landed under the train's own commit, so GitHub cannot mark this one merged even though your change is on main. git log origin/main will show your commits.

Close-keywords in a source PR body never fire under this scheme, so the issues this train resolved were closed from the train's body instead.

The tree passed: all nine cheap gates, cargo check --workspace --all-targets under -D warnings, the release build of all five pinned artifacts, every unit suite, both derived integration suites, and a 14-area gap sweep with zero unexplained regressions and every area asserted to have run a non-zero number of tests. lint completed its full 6-of-6 compile tier with no failure outside the known-red public-baseline step.
