… every element access (PerryTS#10718) An indexed read on an ordinary `Array` cost 87 instructions per element, against 6 for the identical arithmetic on a `Float64Array` and 16 for node. None of it was a runtime call: callgrind attributes 88.3 instructions per element to straight-line code in `main`, of which **56 are loop-invariant receiver revalidation** re-executed every iteration — the NaN-box tag and handle-band test, the forwarding-flag follow, and a six-load live-head guard that re-reads gc_type, gc_flags, obj_flags, a volatile invalidation flag, length and capacity. perry already has tiers that hoist exactly this proof into the loop preheader and version the loop. They were declining at a single gate in `stmt/loops.rs` — `array_static_type_excluded` — a **declared static type** test sitting in front of a tier that is otherwise fully runtime-guarded. `const a: number[] = new Array(400)` reached it and measured 13.4; plain `new Array(400)` infers `Array<any>` and did not, so ordinary JavaScript never got the tier it already had. Separately, and larger: `a[i] += 1` cost 948 instructions per element, 3.7x the identical `a[i] = a[i] + 1`, and a type annotation did not help. `lower/expr_assign.rs` minted the compound-assignment spill temporaries as `Type::Any`, erasing the receiver's array-ness and the index's integer-ness before codegen could see the statement — which is why no annotation could recover it. The temporaries now carry the operand types. Array read 87.0 -> 13.5 (node 16.3 — perry now wins 1.21x) a[i] += 1 948 -> 273 a[i] += b[i] 1025 -> 347 bare loop 4.0 -> 4.0 unchanged to the instruction Float64Array r/w 6.0/8.0 -> 6.0/8.0 unchanged to the instruction A particle simulation over four numeric arrays spends 60.9% fewer instructions (41.21 G -> 16.12 G) and 59% less peak RSS. The widened tier initially regressed a numeric window inside an otherwise non-numeric array by 33%, because the array-wide layout walk runs per loop entry. A window-scoped layout proof is used as a second chance after that walk declines; both shapes are now 12-13% wins, and arrays that are non-numeric from slot 0 are unchanged to the instruction.

…ent stores (PerryTS#10718) An indexed write cost 105 instructions per element with zero runtime calls; 51 of them were loop-invariant receiver revalidation and 42 was a write-barrier decision provable away from the value type. This widens the store admission the way PerryTS#10731 widened reads. a[i] = k + i 105 -> 17.4, a[i] = a[i] + 1 256 -> 24.5, a[i] = a[i] + b[i] 333 -> 35.9. The bare loop, both Float64Array paths and the indexed read are unchanged to the instruction. The barrier-stem census probe for idxset.recv_global gains a second statement: the widened tier made its loop qualify, which would have left that stem with no live witness. A future multi-statement store tier must re-shape the probe, not delete it. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
…already had (PerryTS#10743) Fixes PerryTS#10743. Stacked on PerryTS#10746 (`2b2b89063`), which contains PerryTS#10731. `a[i] += 1` and `a[i] = a[i] + 1` are the same operation and node compiles both to the same cost. perry compiled them 11x apart -- 277 instructions per element against 24 -- and the slow one was the idiomatic spelling. HIR's `hoist_compound_member_assign` lowers a compound member assignment into two immutable alias `Let`s plus the store, so the base and the key are each evaluated exactly once and before the right-hand side. `packed_f64_range_loop_body_collect` admits exactly ONE statement, so the lowering guaranteed the statement could never reach the tier that makes the expanded form fast. Annotating the array changed nothing: the obstacle is the statement count, not type information. The temporaries stay. They are load-bearing -- an RHS call can reassign the bindings they were read from, and the store must still land at the index evaluated before it ran (`a[i] += (() => { i = 2; return 5; })()`). So the fold is in the MATCHER, and it applies only to the guarded fast clones: the slow clone lowers the statements as written, so a failed guard and every side exit still execute the specified evaluation order. Inside the matched subset the fold is exact, because `packed_f64_range_loop_pure_expr_collect` is a whitelist that admits no call, closure, `await`, update or assignment anywhere in the statement -- nothing can write the locals the aliases read. This needs none of PerryTS#10741's mid-iteration side-exit discipline: the folded-away statements perform no stores, so there is nothing to un-do when a guard fails partway. Per element, fitted across N=10,000 -> 50,000, three interleaved rounds per arm: a[i] += 1 277.05 -> 25.46 (node 16.9) a[i] -= 1 208.05 -> 27.45 (node 16.9) a[i] += b[i] 347.05 -> 35.86 (node 25.8) -- now exactly a[i] = a[i] + b[i] a[i] *= 1 206.05 -> 25.45 (node 15.1) a[i] |= 0 236.05 -> 52.46 (node 12.7) The bare loop, both `Float64Array` rows, the indexed read and write and both expanded spellings are unchanged -- their emitted LLVM IR is byte-identical between arms, which is a stronger witness than a flat fitted number. It moves none of the five real programs in PerryTS#10695, and the compiler's own trace says why: `sim` still reports 3 x `body_not_admissible`, because its inner loop is five statements containing two `if`s. This admits a body whose extra statements are compound-assign ALIASES, not a body whose extra statements do things. That remains PerryTS#10741. New diagnostic: `PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1` prints `[range-loop] admitted: compound_assign_alias_fold`. The existing traces report only DECLINES, so there was no way to show that a fixture claiming to exercise a guarded path actually reached it -- the exact gap that let PerryTS#10746 ship a GC stress whose fixtures were all declined before the guard under test ran. Correctness: 25 differential fixtures (evaluation order with a side-effecting RHS, getters and setters on the array / on `Array.prototype` / on the index, a prototype getter that truncates, deletes from or freezes the array mid-loop, frozen and sealed in sloppy and strict mode, a non-writable index, holes, out of bounds, past `length`, non-number elements, string `+=`, heap-reference stores, offset and affine indices, module-global receivers, typed arrays, and all fifteen compound operators) pass on both arms with byte-identical results. Guard sabotage: removing the per-store numeric-bits value check produces 27 SIGABRTs across seven heap-limit seeds under `PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1` (0 unsabotaged), with the from-space scan naming a survivor-space array holding an un-evacuated nursery pointer through a slot that was never marked dirty -- so this path does not bypass PerryTS#10746's write barrier, it is the same check on the same store. Neutering the loop-entry guard turns four fixtures red, all of them through the fold. The `mutable: false` condition is witnessed by a unit test and an IR test; the `__cmpd_` name test and the initialiser grammar are scoping restrictions with unit-test witnesses only, and lowering the folded body in the slow clone as well turns nothing red -- all three are stated as unwitnessed in the report rather than claimed. Gates: node identity 92 identical / 1 diff / 0 compile-fail on both arms with byte-identical results files (the diff is the pre-existing PerryTS#10733 `nest` defect); `perry-codegen` lib 1650 pass including the barrier stem census and its four sabotage twins, with NO census probe change needed; `perry-hir` green; clippy 470 = 470 with identical per-category counts; `cargo fmt`, `check_file_size.sh`, `gc_runtime_root_holders.py` and `local_binding_type_audit.py` clean and identical on both arms; peak RSS worst case +0.60%.

Emit the folded-candidate trace only after successful construction.
The folded-body check can succeed, but later access-set, binding, window, affine, store, and static-type gates can still return None. With PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1, the current code can therefore print admitted: compound_assign_alias_fold for a candidate that the matcher rejects. Preserve the fold state, for example with fast_body.is_some(), and emit this trace immediately before the final Some(PackedF64RangeLoop { ... }). The existing range_loop_reject calls retain diagnostics for each failed gate.

Avoid the repeated full-array rebuild before the window proof.
For a mixed array without a numeric layout flag, rebuild_array_numeric_raw_f64_allow_holes scans the full array and clears the layout flag when it finds a non-numeric slot. The fallback then scans the requested window. Each later loop entry repeats both scans because the failed rebuild leaves no failed-proof state.
For an array with a string at index 399 and a loop over [0, 399), this performs about 799 slot reads per entry instead of a window-only scan. Cache a failed whole-array proof, or dispatch from maintained representation state, so later guards validate only the loop window. Invalidate that state when element writes can make the full array numeric again.

Per element, fitted N=10,000→50,000, three interleaved rounds per arm.

Only the five compound fixtures differ.
The fix is in the matcher, not the lowering
The temporaries cannot be removed. The specification requires the base and key to be evaluated once, and a getter or call in the right-hand side can reassign the bindings they came from:
So
packed_f64_range_loop_compound_alias_foldrecognises the HIR shape[Let __cmpd_*, Let __cmpd_*, store]and retries the existing classic walk on the folded statement.PackedF64RangeLoopgains afast_body; the guarded clones lower it, and the slow clone always lowers the statements as written.The fold is exact inside the matched subset because
packed_f64_range_loop_pure_expr_collectis a whitelist that admits no call, closure,await, update or assignment — so nothing inside the matched body can write the locals the aliases read. The HIR shape was verified with--print-hirbefore building on it.This needs none of #10741's mid-iteration side-exit discipline, because the aliases perform no stores.
simdoes not move, and neither do the other fourStated plainly because it is the point of the exercise. Per-op across three interleaved rounds,
simis 534915 / 534916 / 534916 on base against 534916 / 534915 / 534916 on fix. That is zero, not noise.The compiler's own trace says why:
simstill reports 3×body_not_admissible. Its inner loop is five statements with twoifs. This change admits a body whose extra statements are aliases; it does not admit one whose extra statements do things. That remains #10741.I nearly reported the opposite. A first pass showed
tok−2.9%,graph−4.0%,records−2.6% — on an arm where zero folds fired, because the base arm had been served a stale object out ofnode_modules/.cache/perry. Interleaved rounds withPERRY_NO_CACHE=1made all five deltas vanish.A new diagnostic, which closes a real gap
PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1now printsadmitted: compound_assign_alias_fold. The existing traces only reported declines, so there was no way to show that a fixture had reached a guarded path — which is precisely the gap behind #10746's GC stress passing 60 runs while proving nothing about the guard it appeared to cover.Correctness
25 differential fixtures pass on both arms with byte-identical results files. 20 of them actually exercise the fold; the five that do not are the evaluation-order tests, and their
folds=0is the result — a call in the RHS is rejected before the fold is tried.Three guards are unwitnessed, and one of them matters
The
__cmpd_name test (S2) and the initialiser grammar (S3) are scoping restrictions with unit-test witnesses only.S4 is the one to look at: lowering the folded body in the slow clone as well turns nothing red. Keeping the spec-ordered statements there rests on the argument alone, not on a test. It is also the arm that would recover the remaining 1-instruction residue on
a[i] += 1(25.46 against the expanded form's 24.46) — deliberately not taken.The sabotage matrix also caught a defect in the new test itself: a fill loop beside the compound loop satisfied the assertion regardless of the fold, so the no-fold arm went green. Fixed — the module now holds one loop and counts guard calls rather than block labels.
Gates
Node identity 92 / 1 / 0 on both arms with byte-identical results, the one diff being
realsuite/nest(#10733, pre-existing).perry-codegenlib 1650/0 including the barrier stem census and its four sabotage twins — green with no probe change needed, unlike #10746.perry-hir765/0.perry-runtime4078/0. Clippy 470 = 470 with identical per-category counts.cargo fmt,check_file_size.sh,gc_runtime_root_holders.pyandlocal_binding_type_audit.pyclean and identical on both arms. GC stress 35 runs per arm, 34 with a real evacuating scan, 0 failures. Peak RSS worst case +0.60%.Note for anyone reproducing: perry pairs a compiler with its runtime archive by source hash, so the two arms need separate trees — a shared one makes each arm break the other's linking.
