Summary

Two accuracy fixes to the --report-size enrichment from #8579, both found by testing against a live compiled binary rather than trusting the code in isolation.

What was wrong and how it was found
  • Duplicate function/static-data body false positives: detection keyed on an FNV-1a hash + size check. CodeRabbit correctly flagged that a hash collision at the same size could fabricate a false duplicate finding. Fixed properly rather than reworded the comment: key directly on the exact byte slice (&[u8] is Ord) instead of hashing it — exact by construction, no more expensive to implement.
  • Overclaimed shipped-binary size: the "duplicate crate instance" finding's first draft claimed its total_bytes were recoverable shipped-binary size. I verified directly (md5 + objdump on the extracted archive members from a real compiled program) that perry-runtime/perry-stdlib do redundantly compile some shared dependencies (gimli, confirmed byte-identical across their two separate .a archives) — but a successful link only pulls one physical copy per symbol (a linker errors on true duplicate-symbol inclusion), so every byte attributed is real, in-use code in the shipped binary, not a duplicate sitting in it twice. Renamed duplicate_crate_versionsduplicate_crate_instances in the JSON schema (unreleased, so free to fix) and set estimated_bytes to 0 for this finding so it can't misrank against suggestions that genuinely shrink the shipped binary.

Test plan

  • Unit tests pass (10/10).
  • cargo fmt --check -p perry clean.
  • scripts/check_file_size.sh passes.
  • End-to-end: recompiled a console.log program with --report-size, confirmed the "Duplicate crate instances" section now reads accurately and the duplicate-body false positive is gone.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved --report-size accuracy by eliminating false duplicate detections caused by hash collisions.
    • Duplicate symbol bodies are now compared exactly, and duplicate crate instances are reported more accurately.
    • Recoverable size estimates for redundant crate compilation now correctly report zero bytes.
  • Documentation

    • Updated size-report output descriptions and JSON field naming for clarity.
  • Chores

    • Updated the release version to 0.5.1520.

…med size

Two accuracy fixes to the report enrichment from PerryTS#8579, both found by
testing against a live compiled binary rather than trusting the code:

- Duplicate function/static-data body detection keyed on an FNV-1a hash
  + size check. CodeRabbit correctly flagged that a hash collision at
  the same size could fabricate a false duplicate. Fixed properly
  rather than reworded: key directly on the exact byte slice (&[u8] is
  Ord) instead of hashing it, which is exact by construction and no
  more expensive to implement.

- The "duplicate crate instance" finding's first draft claimed its
  total_bytes were recoverable shipped-binary size. Verified directly
  (md5 + objdump on the extracted archive members from a real compiled
  program) that perry-runtime and perry-stdlib DO redundantly compile
  some shared dependencies (gimli, confirmed byte-identical across
  their two separate .a archives) -- but a successful link only pulls
  ONE physical copy per symbol (a linker errors on true duplicate-
  symbol inclusion), so every byte attributed is real, in-use code in
  the shipped binary, not a duplicate sitting in it twice. Renamed
  duplicate_crate_versions -> duplicate_crate_instances in the JSON
  schema (unreleased, so free to fix) and set estimated_bytes to 0 for
  this finding so it can't misrank against suggestions that genuinely
  shrink the shipped binary. The report and suggestion text now say
  this is a compile-time/archive-size finding explicitly, instead of
  overclaiming a shipped-binary-size win that isn't there.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2b168

This PR improves duplicate-body detection and prevents duplicate-crate findings from claiming shipped-binary savings, but it still changes release metadata and leaves report/changelog totals potentially labeled as code-only when static data may be included; it is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded process and reporting-accuracy risks.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe total_bytes as bytes, not only code.

crate_hash_bytes accumulates every RawSymbol, including SymbolKind::Data. A duplicate crate instance with Rust static data can therefore report data bytes in total_bytes. The new text incorrectly states that this value is only in-use code.

  • crates/perry/src/commands/compile/size_report.rs#L70-L78: change “code” to “bytes” or state that the value includes code and data.
  • crates/perry/src/commands/compile/size_report.rs#L459-L480: use the same corrected terminology in the suggestion text and comments.
  • crates/perry/src/commands/compile/size_report.rs#L721-L726: correct the Markdown section description.
  • changelog.d/8627-report-size-duplicate-body-accuracy.md#L3-L3: correct the release-note claim.

… GC fixture (#8628)

* perf(codegen): raise root-spill default to the measured fan-out cliff (#8620)

`DEFAULT_ROOT_SPILL_RELOCATIONS` was 4,000,000, low enough to spill
moderate-fan-out functions whose native RS4GC statepoints would have
optimized fine. On an ~8M-relocation entry function, spilling to the
shadow frame was *slower* than the fan-out it replaced (#8620), so the
default paid shadow-frame overhead for nothing.

Measured the RS4GC fan-out cliff with synthetic entry functions compiled
at -Os with spilling OFF (`PERRY_ROOT_SPILL_RELOCATIONS=0`), timing the
`@main` codegen unit:

  8.0M  -> ~325 s (finished)
  16.0M -> ~235 s (finished)
  32.0M -> ~511 s / 8.5 min (finished)
  40.0M -> did not finish in 20 min
  48.0M -> did not finish in 20 min

Fan-out finishes in bounded time up to 32M and does not past 40M, so the
default is raised to 32,000,000 — the largest estimate whose fan-out still
finished. Below it fan-out is the cheaper lowering; above it fan-out risks
not finishing and the shadow frame wins. The change is compile-time only
(spilled `main` is run-once init) and is backstopped by the post-RS4GC
instruction-budget assertion (#8586), which fails loudly rather than
hanging if a function this estimate misses still fans out.

Pins the new default in a unit test.

* changelog: root-spill default threshold raise (#8623)

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HHAsEkP5A9Y5rGx6kprJ9j

* perf(codegen): un-root typed-array-param numeric accumulators

Addresses #8619 for the typed-array PARAMETER case. A function that folds a
spec-ABI-proven typed-array parameter into an accumulator
(`let x = arr[i] + 1.0; s = s + x`) kept its numeric locals `x` and `s` as
NaN-boxed GC roots with a per-write `js_write_barrier_root_nanbox`, and lowered
`s`'s update to the opaque `js_dynamic_string_or_number_add` instead of an
inline `fadd` — even though every value is a genuine Number.

Root cause: the `number_by_construction` fixpoint's
`numeric_view_value_or_undefined` (collectors/ptr_shape_numeric.rs) recognised a
typed-array element read as "Number-or-undefined, never a pointer" only for a
LOCAL view with a compiler-visible `TypedArrayNew` init — not for a spec-proven
`TaPtr` parameter. So the fresh, read-derived `x` failed the numeric proof,
which cascaded to the loop-carried accumulator `s = s + x`.

Fix: the fixpoint now also treats a read off a `spec_ta_lens` binding as
Number-or-undefined. `spec_ta_lens` is keyed exactly by `SpecParamRep::TaPtr`
parameters, and `collectors::spec_abi_sites` admits a `TaPtr` only for
`spec_ta_kind_is_numeric` kinds (the BigInt typed arrays are never `TaPtr`), so
`arr[numeric_index]` off one is provably a Number in-bounds and `undefined` out
of range, which `+` launders into a genuine Number (NaN at worst). The
`rec(index)` guard is retained: a non-numeric key reads a property, which can be
a pointer. Soundness rests on the entry contract, not the erased annotation, so
a reassigned or unproven receiver is untouched.

Measured on a 200000x4096 Float64Array reduction passed by parameter: the
accumulator's per-iteration dynamic add + root barrier become a single `fadd` in
a raw double slot — ~5x faster (5.1-7.3s -> ~1.0s), byte-identical output to the
rooted build under every moving-GC configuration and to Node.

Tests: unit (perry-codegen) `spec_ta_param_view_admits_read_derived_number_locals`
and `ta_read_without_spec_proof_stays_dynamic` prove the fix is load-bearing;
integration (perry) `gc_ta_view_accumulator_unroot_8619` is a rooted-vs-fix
differential across the moving-GC matrix, covering Float64Array/Int32Array kinds
and OOB/negative indices.

Not covered: the issue's module-global reproducer — on main that read is still a
runtime call (module-global read inlining, #8617, is unmerged), so its rooting
is a secondary cost; extending the same proof to `module_global_proven_types` is
the follow-up once the read inlines.

* fix(compile): --report-size duplicate-body false positives + overclaimed size

Two accuracy fixes to the report enrichment from #8579, both found by
testing against a live compiled binary rather than trusting the code:

- Duplicate function/static-data body detection keyed on an FNV-1a hash
  + size check. CodeRabbit correctly flagged that a hash collision at
  the same size could fabricate a false duplicate. Fixed properly
  rather than reworded: key directly on the exact byte slice (&[u8] is
  Ord) instead of hashing it, which is exact by construction and no
  more expensive to implement.

- The "duplicate crate instance" finding's first draft claimed its
  total_bytes were recoverable shipped-binary size. Verified directly
  (md5 + objdump on the extracted archive members from a real compiled
  program) that perry-runtime and perry-stdlib DO redundantly compile
  some shared dependencies (gimli, confirmed byte-identical across
  their two separate .a archives) -- but a successful link only pulls
  ONE physical copy per symbol (a linker errors on true duplicate-
  symbol inclusion), so every byte attributed is real, in-use code in
  the shipped binary, not a duplicate sitting in it twice. Renamed
  duplicate_crate_versions -> duplicate_crate_instances in the JSON
  schema (unreleased, so free to fix) and set estimated_bytes to 0 for
  this finding so it can't misrank against suggestions that genuinely
  shrink the shipped binary. The report and suggestion text now say
  this is a compile-time/archive-size finding explicitly, instead of
  overclaiming a shipped-binary-size win that isn't there.

* chore(merge): PR-key #8625's changelog fragment; drop #8627's version bump

Fragments are PR-keyed so in-flight PRs never collide; 8619 is the issue.
The version bump is the maintainer's at merge time.

Stacks #8623, #8625, #8627.

* test(gc): make the #8619 differential fixture actually relocate

The fixture measured copied_objects=0 with a single GC cycle: `keep` pushed
unboxed numbers, so the nursery never filled and the collector never moved
anything. The differential still compared arithmetic, but as a GC test it
could not fail for the reason it exists.

Push a fresh object per iteration instead (~100 copied objects per cycle over
~600 cycles), and assert the two arms lower differently so a fixpoint that
stops firing cannot make the comparison vacuous.

Verified on a #8625-bearing release build: 14 runs across default,
SCAVENGE_NURSERY_MB=1/2/4, GEN_GC=0, FORCE_EVACUATE=1 and VERIFY_EVACUATION=1
all agree at acc:34378500, matching the node oracle.
