🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not mutate this process-global GC setting with separate locks.
GC_TEST_LOCK is a different static in each module. Parallel tests can therefore overlap these guards. One guard can remove PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE while another guard still requires it. The unsafe safety claims do not exclude other test modules or runtime threads that read the environment.
Replace the environment mutation with a runtime test override that is safe for concurrent readers. Preserve and restore the prior setting if an environment fallback remains necessary.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
The transient-root handle is an unchecked index on both sides of the FFI boundary. A rooted handle stores only a slot index, it is Copy, and it has no lifetime tie to its scope; the runtime getters then map an invalid index to 0. Together these turn a scope-lifetime defect into either a silently dropped callback or a read of a foreign scope's heap address.

Rust eprintln! macro panics if writing to stderr fails official documentation extern C panic abort
💡 Result:
The Rust eprintln! macro is documented to panic if writing to standard error (stderr) fails [1][2]. This behavior is a fundamental characteristic of the macro, as it is designed for error and progress reporting where a failure to write to the designated error stream is considered a terminal condition that the application should not ignore [1][3]. The underlying implementation, found in the standard library, performs the write operation and explicitly invokes a panic if an error is returned [4][5]. This occurs because standard library printing macros like println! and eprintln! do not return a Result that the user can handle; instead, they encapsulate the I/O logic and enforce successful output by crashing the program if the operation fails [4][6]. Regarding non-blocking I/O and specific error types, the macro's behavior is strict. For example, writing to non-blocking stderr can lead to a panic because the underlying I/O operation may return an error (such as a would-block condition) that the macro is not configured to handle gracefully [1][6]. While some discussions in the Rust ecosystem have explored making these macros return errors or ignore certain conditions (like WouldBlock) to match the behavior of other languages like C, the consensus remains that changing this would be a breaking change and that developers needing to handle such errors should manually manage the stderr handle using standard I/O traits (e.g., std::io::stderr.write_all(...)) rather than relying on the macros [7][6]. This behavior is independent of the --panic=abort flag. The --panic=abort compiler option dictates the mechanism used when a panic occurs (i.e., terminating the process immediately rather than unwinding the stack), but it does not change the fact that an error in writing to stderr triggers the panic in the first place. Therefore, if a write to stderr fails, the program will still terminate—either via an abort or an unwind, depending on your configuration—because the macro's logic demands a successful write [1][2].

site:doc.rust-lang.org Rust Reference unwinding extern "C" panic abort cannot unwind
💡 Result:
In Rust, unwinding across an FFI (Foreign Function Interface) boundary using a non-unwinding ABI (such as extern "C") triggers a process abort when a panic occurs, provided the application is compiled with the panic=unwind runtime [1][2]. If a Rust panic attempts to propagate through an ABI boundary that does not explicitly support unwinding, the Rust runtime ensures the process is safely aborted [1][2]. Key details regarding this behavior include: 1. ABI Variants: Most ABIs in Rust have two variants: a standard version (e.g., extern "C") and an "unwinding" version (e.g., extern "C-unwind") [3][4][2]. The standard, non-unwinding ABIs are intended for boundaries where you do not expect or permit unwinding to occur [1][5]. 2. Panic Handling: If a Rust panic reaches a non-unwinding boundary, the behavior is an abort [1][2]. It is important to note that whether destructors (Drop calls) run before this abort occurs is unspecified; in some cases, all destructors up to the boundary will run, while in others, none will [2][6]. 3. Undefined Behavior: While a Rust panic reaching a non-unwinding boundary triggers a safe abort, the reverse scenario—a foreign exception (such as a C++ exception) propagating into Rust across a non-unwinding boundary—results in undefined behavior [1][2]. 4. Preventing Aborts: If you need to safely handle panics within an FFI-exported function, you must use std::panic::catch_unwind inside the Rust function to ensure the panic does not cross the boundary [7][1][5]. The function should then return an error code or an appropriate indicator to the caller, rather than allowing the stack to unwind [1][5]. 5. Panic=Abort Mode: If the entire project is compiled with panic=abort, any panic will immediately abort the process, regardless of the ABI used [1][5]. In summary, extern "C" functions are effectively "panic-safe" in the sense that they will not cause undefined behavior by allowing a panic to unwind into foreign code; instead, the Rust runtime will force an abort [1][2]. If you explicitly require unwinding to occur across an FFI boundary, you must use the -unwind variant of the ABI (e.g., extern "C-unwind") [1][2].

Use non-panicking output in both low-level callbacks.
perry_eh_personality and walk_frame are extern "C" callbacks. Their eprintln! calls can panic when stderr I/O fails, which aborts the process at the ABI boundary. Replace both calls with a fallible writer and ignore the write error.

Bound the preview to the owner payload and include the stale slot.
payload_preview can read beyond the owner payload because it does not use GcHeader.size. It also omits slot index 24 because the loop ends at index 23.
Read the owner payload length, clamp the preview range, and ensure the range always contains stale_word. Add regression cases for the last-word slot and slot index 24.

Enforce main-thread ownership for the transient-root API.
The HTTP dispatch paths use the main-thread pump, but TransientRootScope is public to FFI consumers and its extern functions accept calls from any thread. A worker-thread call stores roots in a thread-local stack that the main-thread collector does not scan or rewrite. Make the scope thread-affine, or reject off-main-thread calls in every enter, push, get, and exit function.

Root the receiver from object_handle, not from the stale object local.
crate::closure::coerce_call_this at line 521 boxes a primitive thisArg, so it allocates and can evacuate the receiver. object was captured at function entry, before that call. Line 537 therefore roots a pre-collection copy, and callee_h carries a from-space address into rebind_explicit_this (line 551) and maybe_alias_explicit_this_construction (line 563). Rooting cannot repair a value that is already stale.
Re-read the receiver through object_handle, which the collector rewrites — the same rule the hasOwnProperty arm documents at lines 72-82.
The apply arm has the identical defect at line 685, after the coerce_call_this at line 610.
🐛 Proposed fix for both arms
let scope = crate::gc::RuntimeHandleScope::new();
- let callee_h = scope.root_nanbox_f64(object);
+ // `coerce_call_this` above allocates, so `object` may already
+ // be stale — take the receiver from the caller's root.
+ let callee_h = scope.root_nanbox_f64(object_handle.get_nanbox_f64());
let this_h = scope.root_nanbox_f64(this_arg);Apply the same change at line 685 in the apply arm.

Held out of today's merge batch on two things — one mechanical, one that needs your judgement rather than mine. 1. Conflicts with
|
… collection points The forced-moving production gate faulted inside js_arraylike_map with from-space protection armed: the loop derived the result array's element pointer once, the callback's allocation ran a copying minor that moved the array, and the next mapped element was written through the pre-collection pointer into mprotect-poisoned retired from-space (obj_type=1, the result array). Every callback-iteration helper in array/generic.rs shared the shape: receiver, callback, result under construction, and (in find/filter) the current element were all held in raw locals across js_closure_call3/4 — and al_has/al_get, whose getter and proxy paths run arbitrary JS, are collection points too. Root all of them in a RuntimeHandleScope and re-read from the handles at every use: forEach, map, filter, some, every, find, findIndex, findLast, findLastIndex, reduce, reduceRight. The closure pointer is re-derived from its rooted nanbox adjacent to each call instead of being cached across iterations. The regression test plants the gate's exact collection point — a callback that runs a copying minor on every invocation — and asserts the relocated receiver is observed and the mapped values land in the relocated result. Sabotage-verified: re-hoisting the element pointer makes it fail.
…vocations The forced-moving gate faulted twice more in the same class: the Function.prototype.call/.apply arms held the callee closure, the explicit this, and the saved implicit-this bits in raw locals across js_native_call_value, then handed the stale callee to maybe_alias_explicit_this_construction; and js_put_value_set held the receiver and property key across ordinary_set_with_receiver (which runs user setters) before the array-subclass length note read the stale receiver's header. Root all of them in RuntimeHandleScopes and re-read from the handles after the calls.
Ext crates keep user closures in handle-struct side tables that registered scanners rewrite on a moving collection — but a SNAPSHOT of those tables in a Rust local (a cloned listener Vec, a pending-request struct parked in an mpsc channel between the hyper task and the pump tick) is a copy no scanner can see. The forced gate faulted on both shapes: a drained listener vec went stale after the first callback's collection, and channel-parked handler/listener addresses went stale across the microtask-pump safepoint minors that run while requests wait. Add an extern transient-root surface over the runtime-handle stack (js_ffi_root_scope_enter/push/get/exit) plus a safe perry_ffi::TransientRootScope wrapper, and convert perry-ext-http's emit helpers, deferred-listen drain, close callback, and both process_pending dispatchers. The HTTP/HTTPS dispatchers additionally re-read handler and listener lists from the scanner-maintained server handle at dispatch time instead of trusting the channel-parked snapshot (the arrival-time is_check_continue routing decision is kept).
- Bound the from-space scan's array walk by the LIVE length: capacity slack holds whatever bytes the allocator or a verbatim minor copy left there, and decoding it produced false MISSING-REWRITE aborts on the #8036 gate (a length-8/capacity-16 array whose slack held a dead method-table fragment). - Append a payload preview to each offender report (classified words around the stale slot) so the owner identifies itself. - PERRY_GC_STACKMAP_TRACE=1 prints each frame the native stack-map walk visits (ip + dladdr name); it is how the '7-frame truncated walk' hypothesis was falsified — those are complete walks at the microtask-pump boundary with no JS frames on the stack.
Under the default native-roots build every JS catch pad is `landingpad token cleanup` (#7982's statepoint retype of catch-alls whose payload is unused), and LLVM emits a ZERO call-site action for a cleanup clause. Nothing pinned that, so reading the action as 'handler vs cleanup' looks reasonable in review while silently skipping every statepoint-built catch — a plain `try { throw } catch` then aborts FATAL 'no landing pad'. Exactly that regression was written and reviewed on #8082 and only caught end-to-end. Also add PERRY_EH_TRACE=1: one line per personality invocation (phase, owning function via dladdr, ip offset, decoded pad), the instrument that hunt lacked. Cached OnceLock probe, no verdict change.
…he now-dead listener snapshot Two pre-existing failures on main (not introduced here): the scanner tests assert a root was REWRITTEN, which is only observable if the collection actually MOVED the object — a C4b policy decision that legitimately declines under unit-test conditions, at which point the assertions fail with nothing wrong in the code under test. The guards now force evacuation for their (mutex-serialized) lifetime, so the subject is guaranteed live. perry-runtime's own ForcedEvacuationTestGuard is #[cfg(test)]-internal and unreachable from this crate's test binary; the env knob is read fresh per query. Also drop HttpPendingRequest::check_continue_listeners, which the dispatch rooting fix orphaned: the addresses are now re-read from the scanner-maintained server handle, and only the routing bit is carried across the channel.
The raw-handle ratchet locks array/generic.rs at zero bare get_raw_*_ptr reads, and #7341's direction is conversion rather than a raised ceiling. Convert by shape: - js_arraylike_map's post-callback reload becomes across_mut, which is a strictly better spelling here: the pre-call address is never bound, so the stale pointer the #8082 fault wrote through is not nameable at all rather than merely re-read. - the js_array_push_f64 call and both nanbox_arr tails become with_mut_ptr — push is self-rooting for the array it is handed (its grow path roots and re-reads it) and returns the current address, and nanbox_arr only tags the pointer. Behaviour is unchanged: the value pushed is still read from its handle before the call, exactly as before. The moving-GC regression still fails when the element pointer is hoisted back out of the reload, so the conversion did not weaken it.

… the changeset Two rebase corrections now that #8128 and #8131 have landed. The review pass on this branch introduced a Handler/Cleanup split in perry_eh_personality keyed on the LSDA call-site action. main never had it, and it is wrong: #7982's statepoint retype makes every JS catch pad a token-cleanup pad with a ZERO action, so the split skips every statepoint-built catch and a plain try/catch aborts FATAL 'no landing pad'. main's eh.rs is authoritative (it also carries the regression test and PERRY_EH_TRACE that went in via #8131), so take it wholesale. The changeset now describes only what remains here: the fixture, the dylib native-roots decision, the production-path lowering fixes, and the holder sweep. Everything else moved to #8128/#8131 with its own fragments.
…ce (#8164) * fix(gc): PERRY_GC_STACKMAP_TRACE must parse its value, not its presence `lint` is red on main, which blocks every open PR: it is a required check and `check_gc_env_knobs` fails on PERRY_GC_STACKMAP_TRACE: read for presence (var_os(..).is_some()) in crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/roots/stack_maps.rs; 'PERRY_GC_STACKMAP_TRACE=0' would ENABLE it. The knob arrived in #8131 reading `var_os(..).is_some()`. Presence-testing inverts the one spelling a reader is most likely to try: `=0` sets the variable, so it turns the trace ON. Every other GC knob routes through the shared parser for exactly this reason, and the audit exists to keep that uniform. Use `gc::env_flag_enabled`, the default-OFF parser (`policy.rs`'s `PERRY_GC_TRACE` is the same shape). It fails toward the knob's documented default, so a typo leaves the instrument off rather than silently arming it. Behaviour is unchanged for the spellings that already worked — `=1`/`on`/`true` enable it, unset leaves it off — and `=0`/`off`/`false`/`no` now disable it instead of enabling it. `python3 scripts/check_gc_env_knobs.py` goes from one failure to "30 claimed knobs, 197 live env parsers, 0 presence-only GC reads". * chore(changelog): add fragment for #8164 --------- Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com>
Replaces a bad rebase. Replaying this branch's commits onto a main that had moved ~50 commits reverted 14 merged PRs (#8097-#8186): their changelog fragments and source files were deleted and main's newer edits to shared files were undone, which is what turned CI red across conformance-smoke, Warnings, cargo-test and e2e-scoped. A 3-way merge cannot do that, so take it. Conflicts resolved toward main wherever main has since improved the file: - eh.rs, array/generic.rs, gc/roots/stack_maps.rs: main's versions wholesale. Main already carries this branch's landing-pad semantics, the arraylike accessor conversions and the stack-map trace (via #8131), plus fixes this branch predates - #8176's plain-comment form on the thread_local (a doc comment there is a hard error under -D warnings) and #8164's env_flag polarity for the trace knob. - gc/fromspace_scan.rs: main's file (it has #8084's counted slack bound and the payload preview), re-adding only the owner/target header dump that is unique here. - gc/tests/runtime_roots.rs: union of both module lists. Also folds in the CodeRabbit review: - the changeset no longer claims half the cold starts run under forced evacuation - that arm is opt-in and off by default (#8163); - the holder sweep is budget-bounded, and an exhausted budget is reported as such rather than as 'no holder' - a signal handler that walks an unbounded heap can lose the re-fault to a CI timeout, and conflating 'did not finish' with 'found nothing' is how an instrument starts lying; - a method-LOCAL class-self shadowing test, which exercises a different lowering path from the parameter case (sabotage-verified: removing the shadowing check fails both); - the bound-method fixture derives its name length from the literal, and the computed-require assertion no longer embeds emitter whitespace. Skipped, with reason: the tempdir and blanking-assertion nitpicks are pre-existing code this branch's file split merely relocated, and the 'redundant handle reloads' one was already resolved by converting that builder to with_mut_ptr.

Summary
A moving-GC rooting sweep plus the instruments that found it. Every fix here is one shape — a heap value held in a Rust local (or a snapshot of a scanner-maintained table) across a call that can run JS and therefore collect — and each was caught deterministically, not by inspection: the forced-evacuation arm of the #8036 production fixture faults at the exact instruction under
PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1.Split out of #8082 because none of it depends on that PR's fixture or its remaining blocker.
The rooting fixes
Generic array-like callback helpers (
crates/perry-runtime/src/array/generic.rs).forEach/map/filter/some/every/find/findIndex/findLast/findLastIndex/reduce/reduceRightheld the receiver, the callback closure, the result under construction, and (infilter/find/findLast) the current element in raw locals acrossjs_closure_call3/call4— andal_has/al_getare collection points too, since their getter and proxy paths run arbitrary JS.js_arraylike_mapwas the one that faulted: it derived the result array's element pointer once and then wrote every mapped element through it, landing in mprotect-poisoned retired from-space after the first callback allocated. All eleven now root in aRuntimeHandleScopeand re-read from the handles at each use.Function.prototype.call/.apply(native_call_method/common_methods.rs) held the callee closure, the explicitthis, and the saved implicit-thisbits acrossjs_native_call_value, then handed the stale callee tomaybe_alias_explicit_this_construction, which read its header.js_put_value_set(proxy/put_value.rs) held the receiver and property key acrossordinary_set_with_receiver— which runs user setters — before the array-subclasslengthnote dereferenced the stale receiver.perry-ext-http listener dispatch. Ext crates keep user closures in handle-struct side tables that registered scanners mark and rewrite; a snapshot of those tables in a Rust local is a copy no scanner can reach. Two live instances: a drained listener
Vecwent stale after the first callback's collection, and the pending-request struct built on the hyper task and parked in an mpsc channel went stale across the microtask-pump safepoint minors that run while the request waits. The emit helpers, deferred-listen drain, and close callback now root their snapshots; both dispatchers additionally re-read handler and listener lists from the scanner-maintained server handle at dispatch time instead of trusting the parked copy (the arrival-timeis_check_continuerouting decision is kept, and the now-orphanedcheck_continue_listenersfield is removed).New infrastructure makes the ext-crate half possible:
perry_ffi::TransientRootScopeover an extern surface (js_ffi_root_scope_enter/push_heap_addr/get_heap_addr/push_nanbox/get_nanbox/scope_exit) onto the runtime's existing transient-handle stack — the same slotsRuntimeHandleScopeuses, already marked and rewritten by a registered scanner, and already restored across JS throws by the exception savepoint machinery.Instruments
