Summary

  • keep array-only methods absent from %TypedArray%.prototype out of Array-specific lowering
  • preserve own and prototype user methods before throwing TypeError for missing methods
  • cover all eight affected methods, dynamic dispatch, non-mutation, and overrides end to end

Fixes #8138

Testing

  • cargo test --profile perry-dev -p perry --test issue_8138_typed_array_method_availability -- --nocapture
  • cargo test --profile perry-dev -p perry-hir -p perry-runtime --lib
  • cargo test --profile perry-dev -p perry-codegen --lib (1,063 passed; two unrelated Windows object-byte determinism tests fail because temporary object paths differ)
  • ./scripts/test_affected_crates.sh --base origin/main (runtime: 2,498 passed, 4 ignored; the subsequent rebuild stopped with Windows os error 112 because the drive ran out of space)
  • python scripts/check_test_registration.py
  • cargo fmt -p perry-hir -p perry-codegen -p perry-runtime -p perry -- --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected typed-array behavior for array-only methods.
    • Unsupported methods now throw TypeError instead of incorrectly returning the typed array.
    • Own-property and prototype overrides remain callable.
    • Prevented unsupported method calls from mutating typed arrays.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for numeric and dynamically typed typed-array calls, overrides, and error handling.
  • Documentation

    • Added a changelog entry describing the corrected behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Typed-array classification now includes BigInt variants. Compiler lowering avoids Array fast paths for unsupported typed-array methods. Runtime dispatch resolves own and prototype overrides or throws TypeError. An end-to-end regression test covers static and dynamic calls.

Absent methods resolve own properties and patched prototypes. Callable overrides run with the typed-array receiver; missing callables throw TypeError.
End-to-end regression coverage

The regression test covers errors, dynamic calls, receiver state, and overrides. The changelog records the behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 44f18

Typed-array method dispatch can use a stale object reference if garbage collection occurs during lookup, potentially causing incorrect behavior or crashes. The PR should not merge until the typed array is safely rooted throughout the operation.

Possibly related PRs

  • PerryTS/perry#7470: Both changes prevent incorrect array-method fast-path lowering for non-array receivers.
  • PerryTS/perry#7831: Both changes use shared typed-array classification in type_analysis/pod.rs.
  • PerryTS/perry#8119: Both changes modify typed-array method dispatch for different method behaviors.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Root ta before allocating the property key.

Line 18 can collect. The raw ta pointer remains live at Line 19 and Line 21. A moving collection can relocate the typed array before the property lookup. Root ta in a RuntimeHandleScope before creating key. Reload the pointer from that handle before the lookup. Keep the handle live through call_primitive_closure_value.

Proposed fix
+    let scope = crate::gc::RuntimeHandleScope::new();
+    let ta_handle = scope.root_raw_mut_ptr(ta);
     let key = crate::string::js_string_from_bytes(method_name.as_ptr(), method_name.len() as u32);
+    let ta = ta_handle.get_raw_mut_ptr::<crate::typedarray::TypedArrayHeader>();
     let value = crate::object::js_object_get_field_by_name(ta as *const ObjectHeader, key);
     let args = crate::gc::RuntimeHandleScope::refreshed_nanbox_f64_slice(arg_handles);
     let receiver = f64::from_bits(JSValue::pointer(ta as *mut u8).bits());

As per coding guidelines, “A GC-managed value's root store must dominate every subsequent site that can collect.” Based on learnings, raw Rust pointer locals are neither GC roots nor reliable pins across a collection.

Merging. Fixes #8138.

Verified: perry-runtime --lib 2568/0, perry-codegen --no-fail-fast 28 suites, 1510 passed, 9 failed — all nine in the known baseline, and the PR's own integration test issue_8138_typed_array_method_availability::array_only_methods_throw_on_typed_arrays_without_mutating_them passes (630 s — it is a slow one, worth knowing before someone assumes it hung). cargo fmt, check_test_registration, check_file_size clean.

The shape is right: keeping array-only methods out of Array-specific lowering, while preserving own and prototype user methods before throwing — so a user who legitimately defines push on a typed-array subclass still gets their method rather than a TypeError. Covering all eight affected methods plus dynamic dispatch, non-mutation and overrides is the difference between "throws now" and "throws for the right reason".
