16_matrix_multiply: 100 ms → 16 ms against node's 32 (idle Mac mini, flat spreads, identical checksums) — 2× faster than node, from 3.03× slower at campaign start. The last benchmark in the suite crosses parity.

Contains a live soundness fix — review that part first

#9294's affine guard arm takes its receiver-only continue for arrays with both counter-offset and affine accesses, skipping the windowed guard while the counter fact still says window_validated: true. Proven live against a main-built compiler:

s = s * 1.0 + a[k + 1] + a[i * size + k];   // main prints s:127 — node prints NaN

a[k+1] at the last iteration reads one raw slot past the loop's window, unchecked. Mixed arrays now fall through to the windowed guard (the affine endpoint proof is appended to either path), and the fixture is pinned to node's NaN under both collector modes.

The two performance mechanisms

Window hoist. A tree linear in the counter takes its extremes at the endpoints, so the entry guard evaluates each recorded affine tree at start and bound − 1 — wrap-free by #9318's magnitude bound — and unsigned-compares both against the live length. Two compares per tree, once per loop entry, any coefficient sign. Reads under a proven window become a bare trunc + raw load. Non-linear trees keep their per-read checks.

Measured honestly: this alone moved nothing (71 → 71 ms). The IR named the actual bottleneck: 25 shadow.root.barrier pairs — sum written every k-iteration through a boxed shadow-slot store, because the accumulator walk's single-array restriction declined a sum spanning two arrays.

Accumulator array axis. collect_numeric_accumulators now takes the guarded array set — every member is validated by the same AND-reduced entry guard, so a read of any of them inside the clone is a Number by the same argument that held for one. Affine reads qualify as numeric leaves through affine_leaf_admissible, one predicate shared by the matcher, the read lowering, and the accumulator walk (the #9259 drift rule, applied a third time). With sum unboxed and the loads bare: 71 → 18 ms.

Gates

17 regression tests across 5 suites (including the new mixed-shape test and the #9318 overflow tripwire); perry-codegen lib 1379/0; perry-runtime lib 2904/0 single-threaded; rustfmt clean; matmul checksum identical under PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE. The #9294 admission detector moves from the index_fits block name (legitimately gone under a proven window) to the receiver-only guard symbol.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved numeric array loop performance by validating affine index ranges once at loop boundaries, reducing repeated bounds checks.
    • Expanded optimization support for loops that read from multiple arrays and use affine indexing.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed mixed offset and affine array accesses at window boundaries.
    • Preserved correct JavaScript undefined/NaN behavior instead of allowing out-of-window reads.

…ster

than node; fixes a live OOB read in the PerryTS#9294 mixed-array guard

16_matrix_multiply: 100ms -> 16ms against node's 32ms on an idle Mac mini --
2x FASTER than node, from 3.03x slower at campaign start. Checksums
identical under normal and forced-evacuation runs. With this the last
benchmark in the suite crosses parity.

Three changes, in the order the evidence forced them:

1. WINDOW HOIST. An affine index tree LINEAR in the counter takes its
   extremes at the interval's endpoints, so the entry guard evaluates each
   recorded tree at `start` and `bound - 1` (i64, wrap-free by the PerryTS#9318
   magnitude bound) and unsigned-compares both against the live length --
   two compares per tree per loop entry, any coefficient sign. Reads under
   a proven window drop the range clamp and the per-read bounds check: a
   bare trunc + raw load. Non-linear trees (`k * k`) keep per-read checks.

   Measured honestly: THIS ALONE MOVED NOTHING (71ms -> 71ms). The checks
   were not the bottleneck; the IR named the real one -- 25
   shadow.root.barrier pairs from `sum` written per k-iteration through a
   BOXED shadow-slot store, because the accumulator walk's single-array
   restriction declined a `sum` spanning two arrays.

2. ACCUMULATOR ARRAY AXIS. `collect_numeric_accumulators` now takes the
   guarded array SET: every array in it is validated by the same
   AND-reduced entry guard, so a read of any of them inside the clone is a
   Number by the same argument that held for one. Affine reads qualify as
   numeric leaves through `affine_leaf_admissible` -- ONE predicate shared
   by the matcher, the read lowering, and the accumulator walk, so the
   three cannot drift (PerryTS#9259's cascade rule). With `sum` unboxed and the
   loads bare, LLVM strength-reduces and pipelines the k-loop: 71 -> 18ms.

3. LIVE GUARD HOLE CLOSED. PerryTS#9294's affine guard arm took its receiver-only
   `continue` for arrays with BOTH counter-offset and affine accesses,
   skipping the windowed guard while the counter fact still said
   `window_validated: true`. PROVEN LIVE against a main-built compiler: the
   mixed fixture `s = s*1.0 + a[k+1] + a[i*size+k]` prints s:127 on main
   where node prints NaN -- `a[k+1]` at the boundary reads one raw slot
   past the window. Mixed arrays now fall through to the windowed guard,
   with the affine endpoint proof appended to either path; the fixture is
   pinned to node's NaN under both collector modes.

The PerryTS#9294 admission test's detector also moves from the per-read
`packed_f64_affine.index_fits` block name (legitimately gone under a proven
window) to the receiver-only guard symbol.

Gates: 17 regression tests across 5 suites green (incl. the new mixed-shape
test); perry-codegen lib 1379/0; perry-runtime lib 2904/0 single-threaded;
rustfmt clean; matmul checksum identical under PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds loop-entry validation for linear affine index windows, propagates validated-window facts to packed reads, expands accumulator admission to multiple guarded arrays, routes mixed accesses through windowed guards, and adds regression coverage.

Changes

Affine window and accumulator integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Affine index evaluation and read lowering
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index_get.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index_get/foreign_counter.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/mod.rs
Affine helpers count counter occurrences and accept endpoint counter overrides. Validated affine reads truncate the i64 index and use an unchecked packed-loop load.
Multi-array accumulator admission
crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/loops.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/stable_packed_accumulator.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/stable_packed_loop.rs
Accumulator analysis tracks a BTreeSet<u32> of guarded arrays. Affine indexed reads use the shared affine_leaf_admissible predicate.
Endpoint window proof and fact propagation
crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/loops.rs
Range-loop access records retain affine expressions. Entry guards evaluate linear expressions at start and bound - 1, validate them against the live length, and publish window_validated facts. Mixed accesses use the windowed guard.
Regression coverage and changelog
crates/perry/tests/issue_9253_affine_range_index.rs, changelog.d/affine-window-hoist-and-accumulator-set.md
Tests update the guard admission signal and cover mixed counter-offset and affine accesses under both collector modes. The changelog documents the changes.

* fix(harness): a quoted LLVM label must start a new basic block (#9494)

`native-region-proof` failed `packed_f64_loop_versioning` with

  hot_loops_no_runtime_calls: {"for.packed_f64_fast.body.54.i.epil":
    ["js_array_alloc"]}

on correct codegen. The named block contains no calls at all -- it is a
clean scalar epilogue (shl/add/inttoptr/load/fadd/icmp/br). The
`js_array_alloc` belongs to the NEXT block, which builds console.log's
argument array.

The block splitter matched labels with

  ^([A-Za-z0-9_.$-]+):(?:\s|$)

LLVM quotes any identifier outside its bare-name set, and #9337's
specialized functions put a `$` in the name, so the following label is
emitted as

  "perry_fn_..._dynamicRhsPackedStore$spec_i32.exit":

That line starts with `"`, so it never matched, no new block began, and
the quoted block's body was appended to the preceding label -- moving
main's `js_array_alloc` inside an unrolled hot-loop epilogue.

Accept optionally-quoted labels (and quoted `define` names). Verified
against the exact IR CI analyzed (run 33598905771): 510 -> 512 blocks,
hot-loop count unchanged at 29, and the subject's hot-loop runtime calls
go from {"...epil": ["js_array_alloc"]} to {}. Swept every workload in
that artifact: `packed_f64_loop_versioning` is the only verdict that
moves; `h1_buffer_alias_negative` and `image_convolution` are unchanged,
so no masked failure is exposed.

The regression test is sabotage-checked: reverting the pattern fails 2 of
its 3 cases.

* changelog: quoted LLVM label block boundary (#9510)
