Closes #8595.

Summary

  • Enable structured module-entry outlining automatically for entries with at least 1,000 top-level HIR statements or 4,000 estimated safepoints.
  • Bound generated chunks to roughly 200 statements or 1,000 safepoints and mark them no-inline so LLVM cannot reconstruct the oversized entry before RS4GC, ISel, or register allocation.
  • Move original declarations and statements unchanged, preserve source order, and promote only bindings that need cross-function storage to rooted module globals.
  • Reconstruct the logical entry stream for declaration, export, constant, static-field, closure-name, and early process.env analyses.
  • Support exports, Script globalThis reflection, and structured top-level control flow; retain fail-safe fallbacks for top-level await and module-level TDZ preallocation.
  • Keep PERRY_OUTLINE_ENTRY=1 as a force-on diagnostic override and =0 as an explicit opt-out.

Validation

  • cargo check -p perry-codegen -p perry --all-targets
  • cargo test -p perry-codegen --lib codegen::entry_outline::tests -- --test-threads=1 (14 passed)
  • cargo test -p perry --test entry_outline_transform_8595 -- --test-threads=1 (4 passed)
    • differential outlined/non-outlined execution
    • moving minor GC configurations
    • exports, structured control flow, Script reflection, and early dependency environment initialization
    • default-on oversized-entry behavior
  • rustfmt --check on all touched Rust files
  • git diff --check

An additional full perry-codegen library sweep passed 1,203 tests, with 1 ignored. Three unrelated Windows-local assertions failed: the preserve-none prologue test sees LLVM emit pushq %rbp, and two native-object byte-equality tests embed different randomized COFF temp filenames.

No version bump is included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now automatically outlines oversized module-entry bodies into ordered chunks. It preserves source order, promotes cross-chunk bindings, supports structured control flow and exports, and updates codegen analyses to inspect the reconstructed logical entry stream.

Changes

Module-entry outlining

Layer / File(s) Summary
Outlining policy and safety analysis
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/entry_outline.rs
Adds automatic, forced, and disabled modes; statement and safepoint thresholds; logical entry reconstruction; binding analysis; function-ID collision checks; and exclusions for top-level await and TDZ preallocation.
Chunk emission and binding storage
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/entry_outline.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/function.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/module_globals_emit.rs
Emits ordered compiler-owned chunks, preserves declarations and structured control flow, promotes outlined globals, allocates safe function IDs, and prevents chunk inlining. Tests cover chunking, declaration handling, control flow, and exported modules.
Logical-entry codegen integration
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/entry.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/artifacts.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/mod.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/static_fields.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/mod.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/run_pipeline.rs
Environment literals, constants, static fields, named closures, and exported closure metadata now scan reconstructed logical entry statements.
Pipeline reporting and integration validation
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/collect_modules.rs, crates/perry/tests/entry_outline_transform_8595.rs, changelog.d/8595-entry-outline-default.md
Adds transform progress and skip logging. Integration tests validate automatic outlining, disabled mode, exports, reflection, environment visibility, structured control flow, output, and stderr behavior. The changelog documents the feature and exclusions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 81686

The outlining change can leave certain static fields at incorrect default values when their initializers read top-level bindings moved into generated chunks, causing incorrect runtime behavior for affected programs. Merge should wait for the initializer-scope fix; the test-environment cleanup and reporting-accuracy follow-ups should also be addressed or explicitly accepted.

284-296: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Align the cross_chunk_lets partition with chunk_count.

Line 284 now derives chunk_count from count_prospective_chunks, which accounts for must-stay statements and the safepoint budget. The cross_chunk_lets computation below still partitions with chunk_ranges(total_stmts, target), which is a naive contiguous split. The two partitions can differ, so the reported cross-chunk count does not describe the chunks the transform actually emits.

The value feeds only report_entry_outlining, so codegen is unaffected. The report is the measurement tool for #8595, so an accurate figure has value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Build module_local_scope from the logical entry stream.

When a non-inline static-field initializer reads a top-level let or const moved into an entry chunk, module_local_scope does not contain its LocalId because that set still scans only hir.init. init_references_out_of_scope_local then skips the initializer and leaves the static field at its default value. Use one logical_entry_stmts(hir) result for both module-scope binding discovery and inline-initialization detection.

Proposed fix
+    let logical_entry_stmts = super::entry_outline::logical_entry_stmts(hir);
...
-    for s in &hir.init {
+    for s in logical_entry_stmts.iter().copied() {
         if let perry_hir::Stmt::Let { id, .. } = s {
             module_local_scope.insert(*id);
         }
     }
...
-                let inline_initialized = super::entry_outline::logical_entry_stmts(hir)
-                    .into_iter()
+                let inline_initialized = logical_entry_stmts
+                    .iter()
+                    .copied()

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear inherited collector settings for every test child process.

GC_ENV_OVERRIDES omits PERRY_GEN_GC_EVACUATE. The automatic runtime arm also bypasses this cleanup list. An inherited collector setting can disable or change moving-GC behavior, so these tests can pass without exercising the relocation-sensitive configuration.

  • crates/perry/tests/entry_outline_transform_8595.rs#L54-L54: add PERRY_GEN_GC_EVACUATE to GC_ENV_OVERRIDES.
  • crates/perry/tests/entry_outline_transform_8595.rs#L238-L241: remove every key in GC_ENV_OVERRIDES before running the binary.

Based on learnings: spawned relocating-GC tests must remove inherited collector-knob environment variables before applying an arm.

…dd iOS 27 APIs (#8700)

Lands #8689, #8697 and #8699.

#8689 computes a whole-module greatest-fixed-point GC-effect closure and
marks direct calls to transitively non-collecting generated callees
`gc-leaf-function`, while allocation/poll paths, indirect calls, unknown
externals and cross-module calls stay statepoints. Its `native_emit.rs`
conflict with the just-landed #8687 was one hunk: #8689's
`render_fn_external_with_gc_leaf_callees` replaces `render_fn_external`,
and `gc_leaf_callees` is destructured in the same function by #8689's own
change, so the conflict was positional only.

#8697 (closes #8595) enables structured module-entry outlining
automatically past 1,000 top-level HIR statements or 4,000 estimated
safepoints, bounding chunks and marking them no-inline so LLVM cannot
reconstruct the oversized entry before RS4GC, ISel or regalloc.
`PERRY_OUTLINE_ENTRY=1`/`=0` remain as force-on and opt-out.

#8699 (closes #5536) adds the iOS-only `perry/ios` layout API, a Swift
Foundation Models bridge, and iOS 27 NowPlaying `MediaSession` for
`perry/media`, with the MediaPlayer path retained for older SDKs. Its
`perry-runtime/src/thread.rs` change is additive: `queue_thread_result`
now delegates to `queue_thread_result_with_mode(..., is_rejection:
false)`, so existing behaviour is unchanged, and
`queue_promise_string_rejection` is new.

Three mechanical fixes on top:

- #8699's two new thread-locals in `perry-ui-ios/src/adaptive_layout.rs`
  (`LISTENERS`, `LAST_SNAPSHOT`) failed the root-holder gate. They hold a
  NaN-boxed JS callback, so they are NOT `not_a_gc_pointer`; they are
  recorded on the ledger FRONTIER, matching the 466 existing perry-ui-*
  entries of the same shape (including a byte-identical
  `perry-ui-ios/src/network.rs: LISTENERS`). No UI crate registers a GC
  scanner today -- a real, pre-existing, systemic gap, tracked separately
  rather than papered over with a false verdict here.
- `collect_modules.rs` (1984 on main, +27) crossed the file-size cap;
  `collect_module_finish` moved to `collect_modules/finish.rs`.
- `build_and_run.rs` (1995 on main, +6) crossed it too; the
  `if is_watchos` arm body moved to `link/watchos_frameworks.rs`.

Also removes two unused imports that my own #8688 static-fields split
left in `codegen/helpers.rs`. No version bump.

Landed on main via #8700 (squash 8224d879a).

Checked the two things that matter for a default-on behaviour change: the thresholds are real gates (DEFAULT_AUTO_MIN_STMTS 1,000 / DEFAULT_AUTO_MIN_SAFEPOINTS 4,000, so ordinary modules are untouched), and both PERRY_OUTLINE_ENTRY=1 force-on and =0 opt-out are still wired. Your 14 entry-outline unit tests pass.

Validated on the merged result: all 30 lint checkers, codegen 1213/0, runtime 2655/0, perry-bin 1032/0. Thanks!
