Summary

crates/perry-runtime/src/value/to_string.rs sat one line under the hard
2000-line CI cap (scripts/check_file_size.sh, a required lint step),
which meant any PR that added even two lines to it got blocked outright —
that just happened to PR #10995.

Split it into four files under crates/perry-runtime/src/value/, following
the repo's existing sibling-module convention (to_string_class_ref.rs was
already split out this way):

  • to_string.rs2000 → 634 lines. Kept: the js_jsvalue_to_string
    dispatcher and its direct siblings (js_jsvalue_to_string_method,
    js_jsvalue_to_string_coerce, js_ensure_string_ptr,
    js_value_to_str_ptr_for_ffi).
  • to_string_primitive.rs (new, 767 lines) — OrdinaryToPrimitive/
    ToPrimitive resolution for objects, functions, and exotic (Date/RegExp)
    own-property overrides.
  • to_string_array.rs (new, 196 lines) — Array.prototype.toString
    resolution (the reflective-override check plus the explicit method-call
    path).
  • to_string_radix.rs (new, 435 lines) — radix-based number/BigInt
    stringification (Number.prototype.toString(radix),
    BigInt.prototype.toString(radix), DoubleToRadixCString), including its
    existing #[cfg(test)] module.

This is a pure move: no renamed public items, no behavior changes.
Items that crossed a file boundary got the minimum visibility bump
(private → pub(crate)) the split required. Three call sites that reached
into to_string's submodule path directly
(crates/perry-runtime/src/temporal/options.rs,
crates/perry-runtime/src/value/dynamic_arith.rs,
crates/perry-runtime/src/value/to_string_class_ref.rs) were repointed at
the item's new home instead of being routed through a forwarding
re-export; value/mod.rs's existing pub(crate) use/pub use blocks were
updated to source the moved items from their new module.

Verification

  • bash scripts/check_file_size.shOK: no Rust source files exceed 2000 lines.

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check → clean.

  • cargo check -p perry-runtime → clean.

  • cargo check -p perry-runtime --all-targets → clean (no warnings).

  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --lib -p perry-runtime value::to_string → all 6 tests pass in their new locations (to_string::error_subclass_tostring_tests, to_string_buffer_tests, to_string_radix::radix_tostring_tests ×4).

  • Exported-symbol diff: built libperry_runtime.rlib on this branch and on a pristine origin/main checkout, extracted the exported symbol sets with nm -g ... | grep ' T ' | awk '{print $NF}' | sort -u, then filtered both lists to the non-Rust-mangled (C-ABI) subset (grep -v '^__R\|^_R\|^__Z\|^_Z') since the raw list also includes Rust v0-mangled monomorphizations whose names legitimately embed the defining module path (e.g. generic RuntimeHandle::with_mut_ptr::<..> instantiations, thread-local try_with closures) and are not part of any linkage contract.

    Result: 3196 C-ABI symbols on each side, diff is empty. All six #[no_mangle] symbols that live in this file group are present and unchanged on both sides:

    js_jsvalue_to_string: before=1 after=1
    js_jsvalue_to_string_radix: before=1 after=1
    js_jsvalue_to_string_method: before=1 after=1
    js_jsvalue_to_string_coerce: before=1 after=1
    js_ensure_string_ptr: before=1 after=1
    js_value_to_str_ptr_for_ffi: before=1 after=1
    

Test plan

  • bash scripts/check_file_size.sh
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo check -p perry-runtime
  • cargo check -p perry-runtime --all-targets
  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --lib -p perry-runtime value::to_string
  • Exported C-ABI symbol set diff against pristine origin/main (empty)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor
    • Reorganized string conversion internals into focused modules. No changes to conversion behavior or public names were reported.

to_string.rs sat one line under the 2000-line lint cap, blocking any PR
that added even a couple of lines to it. Split the ToPrimitive engine,
Array.prototype.toString handling, and radix stringification into three
sibling files (to_string_primitive.rs, to_string_array.rs,
to_string_radix.rs). Pure move: no renamed public items, no behavior
change; exported C-ABI symbol set verified identical against a pristine
origin/main build.

Amended: the split left call_own_method imported unconditionally while its only remaining caller in to_string.rs sits behind #[cfg(feature = "regex-engine")]. That is invisible to cargo check -p perry-runtime (the feature is on by default there) but fails the warnings gate's product step, which runs cargo check -p perry --bins with a different feature unification:

error: unused import: `call_own_method`
 --> crates/perry-runtime/src/value/to_string.rs:6:5
  = note: `-D unused-imports` implied by `-D warnings`

I caught it when this PR went into merge train 261 and reproduced it locally with the gate's own command. Fix is the import moved under the same cfg, with a comment saying why — not a deletion, since the symbol is genuinely used when regex-engine is on.

Re-verified both ways on the amended head:

  • cargo check -p perry --binsFinished, no warnings
  • cargo check -p perry-runtime --all-targets → clean
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check → clean

Worth noting for next time: cargo check -p <crate> and cargo check -p perry --bins resolve different feature sets, so a cfg-gated call site can be unused in one and used in the other. Running the gate's exact command is the only way to see it.

A file-cap split relocates code, and four ratchets key their entries by
file path, so each one goes red on the NEW path while its old entry
stops matching. All four are identity-pinned deliberately, so a fix has
to move its own entry rather than add one:

  - addr_class_ratchet_baseline.txt: handle-floor (3) and
    lone-valid-obj-ptr (1) moved wholesale to to_string_primitive.rs
  - addr_class_allowlist.txt: the gcheader-cast probe now exists in both
    files, so to_string_primitive.rs needs its own line
  - raw_handle_debt_files.txt: the single debt site moved, and the old
    ceiling then 'matches nothing', which is itself a failure
  - gc_runtime_root_holders.json: TO_PRIMITIVE_DEPTH moved;
    SKIP_TO_PRIMITIVE_ONESHOT did NOT, and repointing it was wrong

Verified after the move:
  addr_class_inventory.py      passed (505 known sites held)
  raw_handle_debt.py           901 sites (baseline 901), 104 modules within ceilings
  gc_runtime_root_holders.py   OK, self-test OK
  string_payload_access_inventory.py  4062 files, ratchet held

Comment thread scripts/raw_handle_debt_files.txt Outdated
raw_handle_debt.py runs TWICE in lint. Repointing the ceiling satisfies
the per-module rule but not the merge-base rule, which sees a ceiling on
a path that was not listed at the base and calls it a raise:

  crates/perry-runtime/src/value/to_string_primitive.rs:
    ceiling raised to 1 (was not listed at the merge base)

#10583 added the mechanism for exactly this case — the 2000-line cap
forcing a listed module to be split — and it must be declared on the
destination line, because an undeclared move is indistinguishable from
laundering new debt through a relocation.

  raw_handle_debt.py            901 sites (baseline 901), 104 ceilings
  raw_handle_debt.py --no-raise-vs origin/main
      901 -> 901, none raised, 1 declared relocation:
      value/to_string.rs -> value/to_string_primitive.rs
  unrooted_local_shape.py --no-raise-vs origin/main   390 -> 390, none raised

Landed on main in merge train 265 (#11108), released as v0.5.1648 at 9d26936298.

Cherry-picked from this PR's head f1d6b48a86 and validated as one tree with 15 other PRs — CI 22/22 green, all 6 gap-suite shards. A train rebase gives the commits new SHAs, so GitHub cannot auto-close the source PR; closing by hand.

Nothing needed from you. Thanks.
