Fixes two main-breakages from #11682 (b67ad00).

Closes #11695
Closes #11696

#11695: stale macOS/Windows GC call-effects tables (correctness)

#11682 regenerated only gc_effects/linux-x86_64.tsv. The committed macos-aarch64.tsv and windows-x86_64.tsv are replaced with the gc-effects-macos-aarch64 / gc-effects-windows-x86_64 artifacts from main's push run 36653831017 (commit 23d5634). The only commit between that and this branch's base (6a50907, #11694) touches test files and a changelog fragment, not runtime code, so the archives match.

The diff is exactly what that run's gc-call-effects logs list:

Header/comment lines are unchanged. Linux: GC_EFFECTS_SKIP_BUILD=1 scripts/gc_call_effects/regen.sh linux-x86_64 --check against a fresh release build of this branch reports "3977 symbols, identical to the archives". callgraph.py --self-test and callgraph.py lint pass.

#11696: symbol thread-exit test premise

Since #11682, an ordinary object's symbol value, attrs and accessor are stored on the object (object/shaped_symbols.rs: its shape keys and slots, with the canonical-keys table thread-local). They die with the thread's heap, so the address-keyed side tables that the test probed stay empty for such owners. Arrays and class statics still use SYMBOL_PROPERTIES / SYMBOL_PROPERTY_ATTRS / SYMBOL_ACCESSOR_PROPERTIES, and those still need thread-exit release.

The test now:

  • does the same three writes (o[sym]=v, defineProperty with writable:false, and defineProperty with get) on an array holder, plus the class static. It asserts all 4 table entries exist while the thread lives and are gone after join, so the release check stays live.
  • does the same writes on an ordinary object. It asserts they are on the object (a new #[doc(hidden)] probe, symbol::symbol_on_object_for_test, returns [Some(false), Some(false), Some(true)]), that obj[sym] reads back, and that the side tables hold nothing for it, both during the thread and after it.

Sabotage checks (each reverted):

  • SYMBOL_PROPERTIES release made a no-op: the test fails with holder … outlived its heap, left: [true, false, false].
  • shaped_symbols::owner forced to None, so ordinary objects fall back to the tables: the test fails with left: [None, None, None].

Validation (perrymaster, Linux x86_64)

  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --release -p perry-stdlib: 242 passed, 0 failed
  • gc-call-effects Linux --check: identical. Self-test and lint pass.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check and scripts/check_file_size.sh: pass
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: see the comment below

Not run: the macOS and Windows gc-call-effects checks. Their tables are the CI artifacts, and cargo xwin is not installed on the host. perry-runtime tests, the gap suite, and the perf A/B were also not run. The PR adds only a test probe and changes no runtime behaviour.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded symbol-property coverage for arrays and ordinary objects, including value properties, non-writable properties, and accessors.
    • Added checks that array and class static-symbol entries remain available while a thread is running and are removed after it exits. Verified ordinary-object symbol properties remain accessible without side-table entries.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds an ordinary-object symbol-property probe and expands the thread-exit test. The test checks value, non-writable data, and accessor properties on arrays and ordinary objects, plus class static-symbol entries, before and after thread exit. The changelog also records GC call-effects table regeneration.

Changes

Symbol property thread-exit test

Layer / File(s) Summary
Probe and thread-exit checks
crates/perry-runtime/src/symbol.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/runtime_thread_exit_tests/symbols_tests.rs, changelog.d/11702-gc-effects-tables-and-symbol-thread-exit-test.md
The probe reports whether an ordinary object has an accessor for a symbol key. The test checks three symbol property forms on arrays and ordinary objects, verifies the ordinary-object value can be read, and checks side-table state before and after thread exit. The changelog records the test update.

GC call-effects table update

The changelog records regenerated macOS-aarch64 and Windows-x86_64 GC call-effects tables, including Reenters classifications for four functions and js_event_target_subclass_init.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7c99b

The test should keep symbol keys alive through join so it reliably detects regressions in thread-exit cleanup.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — crates (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — changelog.d (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/perry-runtime/src/symbol.rs: Added a test probe that validates the owner as an ordinary shaped object, then returns Some(true) for an accessor key or Some(false) for a non-accessor key; invalid owners and absent keys return None.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/perry-stdlib/src/runtime_thread_exit_tests/symbols_tests.rs: Added helpers to define a value property, non-writable data property, and accessor on an owner, and to check the corresponding side-table records.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/perry-stdlib/src/runtime_thread_exit_tests/symbols_tests.rs: Expanded the test’s documentation to distinguish ordinary-object properties stored on-object from array and class-static properties held in side tables.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/perry-stdlib/src/runtime_thread_exit_tests/symbols_tests.rs: The thread now creates three symbols and applies all three property forms to both an array and an ordinary object, registers a class static-symbol value, and verifies the ordinary object’s value can be read back.

Root copied operands before allocation.

define_three_symbol_properties receives owner, syms, and value as plain f64 copies. The helper allocates desc, getter, and accessor, then reuses those copies. If an allocation moves an object, later writes can use stale addresses. Root the operands and read their current values at each use.

🟡 Minor · Keep the symbol keys alive through join. · symbols_tests.rs:123-125

crates/perry-stdlib/src/runtime_thread_exit_tests/symbols_tests.rs:123-125
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the symbol keys alive through join.

The test creates sym, sym2, and sym3 inside the spawned thread. Their roots are removed when that RuntimeHandleScope is dropped at thread exit. Side-table cleanup also removes entries when their symbol keys are freed. The post-join assertions can therefore pass even when owner cleanup is broken.

Create the symbols in a parent scope and pass only their copied values into the thread.
