Summary

Part of #11043. Fixes the second failure in the mongodb 7.5.0 real-source compile. The package now gets further, and #11111 is the next blocker.

On current main (d8f24f1), the issue's TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'default') no longer reproduces with the issue's fixture. I did not bisect that. The likely fix is a938d96 (#11072, preserve require export conditions): the issue was filed before it landed, and mongodb-connection-string-url / @mongodb-js/saslprep are dual require/import packages. The first failure on main is now:

TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'pathname' of object '#<Object>'

This PR fixes that failure.

Root cause

whatwg-url's generated URL wrapper declares class URL { get pathname() {…} set pathname(V) {…} … } inside install(globalObject), and the accessors close over globalObject. Then it runs:

Object.defineProperties(URL.prototype, { pathname: { enumerable: true }, … });

Perry lowers a capture-carrying class to ClassExprFresh. Each evaluation materializes its own prototype object in class_evaluation_prototype_value. That object gets physical constructor + method keys, but ClassBody accessors live only in the template's vtable, the same as for a declared class's prototype. Declared prototypes are found through class_id_for_decl_prototype_object, and every reflection site (getOwnPropertyDescriptor, own keys, Object.keys, defineProperty, hasOwn, delete) uses that lookup to surface the vtable accessors. The per-evaluation prototype was never registered there. As a result:

  • Object.getOwnPropertyNames(URL.prototype) was constructor,toJSON,toString (no accessors), and
  • the generic descriptor { enumerable: true } took the "new property" path. It installed a read-only undefined data property that shadowed get pathname/set pathname on the prototype.
  • new ConnectionString(uri)'s this.pathname = '/' then threw.

Fix

class_id_for_decl_prototype_object now falls back, on a miss, to class_evaluation_prototype_class_id. That function recognizes a per-evaluation prototype structurally: its own constructor is a heap class object with the same template id, and that class object's hidden #<perry:class-evaluation-prototype> slot points back at it.

I chose the structural check over a side table. A table would either be a GC root (leaking one prototype per evaluation of a class inside a factory) or need to be weak and rekeyed on evacuation. The heap already keeps the back-edge. The check never allocates, because its callers hold raw pointers across it. It is gated on a process-wide AtomicBool that is set when the first evaluation prototype is materialized, so a program without capture-carrying classes pays one relaxed load on the (hot, #9180) miss path.

Known imprecision, the same as dispatch today: attribute changes to a ClassBody accessor (defineProperty(proto, "x", { enumerable: true })) are keyed on the template class id, so they apply to every evaluation of that class.

Validation

All on perrymaster, cargo build --profile perry-dev -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static. I checked that the .a mtime moved after the edit. Node is 26.5.1 (/opt/node-v26.5.1-linux-x64).

  • New gap test test-files/test_gap_11043_class_eval_proto_accessors.ts (the whatwg-url shape, per-evaluation reflection, redefine-then-set, getter-only). Harness: PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 PERRY_BIN=… ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter test_gap_ --filter 11043:
    • baseline (d8f24f1, same build): PARITY_FAIL. Output has own before constructor,toJSON, then Cannot assign to read only property 'pathname'
    • this branch: PASS, byte-identical to Node
  • Gap A/B: the same harness with filters class_expr, class_eval, capture, prototype, accessor, descriptor, define_propert, getter, setter, url covered 97 distinct tests. 95 PASS→PASS, 1 FAIL→PASS (the new test). test_gap_2159_defineproperty_class_prototype fails on both arms with identical output: a top-level-await warning, already in known_failures.json.
  • Real package: mongodb 7.5.0, bson/whatwg-url/etc. compiled natively (full auto-optimize link, PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE unset), run against a private mongod 8.0.4. pathname no longer throws, and mongodb-connection-string-url parses (new ConnectionString("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27143") → hosts [ '127.0.0.1:27143' ], pathname /, same as Node). The driver then reaches the first hello and hangs: net.Socket#write returns undefined, so Connection.writeCommand waits for a 'drain' that never comes. Filed as net.Socket#write returns undefined instead of a boolean, so drain-aware writers (mongodb) hang forever #11111 with a 15-line repro. That is why this PR says Part of, not Fixes.
  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --profile perry-dev -p perry-runtime --lib -- {class_registry,descriptor,define_propert}: 33 / 109 / 10 passed.
  • cargo check --profile perry-dev -p perry-runtime --all-targets: only the pre-existing perry-dev relevant_box_roots warning and two pre-existing unused-import warnings in gc/tests/runtime_roots/perex_cross_call.rs. None are in files this PR touches.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check clean. scripts/check_file_size.sh OK.
  • SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: 87 of 88 script gates passed, compile tier not run. The one failure is cargo xwin check, and it fails because cargo-xwin is not installed on the host (no such command: xwin). The change has no cfg arms.

Not run

  • No full gap sweep. Only the filtered A/B above.
  • No perf stat instruction-count A/B. The only added hot-path work is one relaxed atomic load on the miss path of class_id_for_decl_prototype_object, and nothing more unless the program built a capture-carrying class prototype.
  • No -D warnings check on the default dev profile. The disk on the shared host hit its floor, so I ran the perry-dev check instead.
  • No macOS run.

Related gaps found, not fixed here

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed reflection for classes created inside functions: their per-instance prototypes now correctly expose class accessors, including getter descriptors and getter behavior. This ensures property inspection and accessor calls reflect the class definition, including when accessors use values captured from the surrounding function.

A capture-carrying class (ClassExprFresh) materializes a distinct
prototype object per evaluation. It was never recognized by
class_id_for_decl_prototype_object, so its vtable accessors were
invisible to getOwnPropertyDescriptor/Names and defineProperty, and
Object.defineProperties(C.prototype, { x: { enumerable: true } })
replaced get x/set x with a read-only undefined data property.
whatwg-url's URL does exactly that, which broke mongodb's
connection-string parsing (#11043).

Preserve evaluation-prototype recognition after constructor changes.

class_evaluation_prototype_class_id requires the prototype's own constructor to be a class object with a matching back-edge. Assigning C.prototype.constructor = null therefore makes the lookup return None.

ClassBody accessors remain in the class registry. The descriptor and generic define-property paths use this lookup before they update those accessors. When recognition fails, a descriptor-only Object.defineProperties call can follow the ordinary absent-property path and create a read-only data property instead.

Record a role-specific evaluation-prototype marker in GC-traced ObjectMeta state, and use it during lookup. The existing ClassEvaluation link flag is not sufficient because that link kind is also used for evaluated instances.

#11113 adds class_evaluation_prototype_class_id as the miss path of
class_id_for_decl_prototype_object, and proxy::metadata's
normalize_target_bits feeds that any POINTER_TAG payload it is handed —
including arbitrary non-pointer bits. That made it the first caller to
pass genuinely unvalidated bits to try_read_gc_header, and CI aborted:

  proxy::metadata::tests::unrelated_heap_pointer_passes_through_unchanged
  panicked at crates/perry-runtime/src/value/addr_class.rs:272:
  misaligned pointer dereference: address must be a multiple of 0x4 but is 0xabcde7
  thread caused non-unwinding panic. aborting.

A non-unwinding abort takes the whole test binary down, so cargo-test
reported only that, not a test failure.

The gap is in the predicate, not the caller. is_plausible_heap_addr is
two magnitude checks with no alignment test, so it admits IN-RANGE
garbage like 0xABCDEF — while try_read_gc_header's own doc already
promises to return None "without touching memory for ... out-of-range
garbage". try_read_tracked_gc_header has always checked alignment
(addr_class.rs:390); this function simply never did.

A GC allocation's user address is always align_of::<GcHeader>()-aligned
(GC_HEADER_SIZE is a multiple of it), so the check cannot exclude a real
object — it can only turn would-be-UB into None. One AND on a path that
then dereferences.

Fixed at the predicate rather than at #11113's call site so every other
caller is covered too.

Landed on main in merge train 268 (#11119), released as v0.5.1651 at 36892b7194.

Four of this train's seven PRs — including this one, if it is #11055, #11023, #11012 or #11014 — were repaired here because they were stuck: the fixes were cherry-picked from fix/<PR>-ci branches built in this session, which is also how fork-hosted heads get landed without their authors. CI on the assembled tree was 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.
