feat(runtime): class static accessors are accessor properties of the class function object - #11651
Conversation
…value name" Stage 0 of making class constructors real function objects (#11414). Every decoder of a class-constructor value now asks object::class_value (class_value_id / class_value_id_bits / class_closure_id), which accepts the legacy INT32 immediate and the class function object form (a GC_TYPE_CLOSURE whose code pointer is js_class_constructor_called, its [[Call]] that throws, and whose capture slot 0 holds the class id). class_ref_id and constructor_class_ref_id are defined through it; the raw `>> 48 == 0x7FFE` class gates go through legacy_class_value_word / legacy_class_ptr_word, which keep the old gate's exact INT32 behaviour (the #11414 sites stage 5 narrows) and also admit the function-object form. Nothing produces the function-object form yet: no behaviour change.
…11414) A class value was the INT32 immediate `0x7FFE_0000_0000_0000 | class_id`, bit-identical to the int32 number equal to its id: `1 === A` was true, a `switch (1) { case A: }` matched, `[A, 1].indexOf(1)` found the class, JSON.stringify printed the id and `A instanceof Object` was false. Each class now has ONE function object per agent (object/class_value.rs): a GC_TYPE_CLOSURE whose code pointer is js_class_constructor_called (its [[Call]], which throws) and whose capture slot 0 holds the class id; minted on first use, born in the old arena and pinned (under a GcSuppressScope, so the lookup never collects), rooted by a per-agent two-level table. `js_class_value(cid)` is its C entry; gc_call_effects classifies it CannotCollect. Producers: the eleven codegen sites that spelled a class as a value (Expr::ClassRef, `ns.C`, imported classes, static `this` in methods and field initializers, the static-field arrow `this` slot, new.target on the inlined and cross-module constructor paths, the static-dispatch receiver) call it; the runtime producers (class_constructor_ref_value, getPrototypeOf's parent, the dynamic parent fallback, static super's target, a class object's `constructor`) return it. Reflect metadata keys fold a class value onto the stable id key. Function.prototype.toString / String() render the class source; util.inspect prints `[class A extends B] { statics }`. C.prototype keeps its current forms; statics stay in their side tables (the next stage moves them into the function object's own-property bag).
… class function object - Each site that names a class as a value caches the pinned function object in a zero-initialised per-site global (thread-local when the program starts workers): a load and a never-taken branch after the first use, instead of a per-agent table lookup (`(i & 1) ? A : B` + compare: 281 -> 34 instr/op; base 24.5). - Strict identity against `Expr::ClassRef` is bit identity (the object is one per class and never moves), like proven symbols: no js_jsvalue_equals. - A static method's prologue resolves `this` with js_static_this_resolve_class (cid) instead of materializing the class value on every call. - `new C()` on a class value decides "class" first (one closure probe) instead of after the exotic-constructor arms (dynamic new 11218 -> 6713; base 6545). - Gates: object/mod.rs back to 2000 lines (the scanner registers in gc::mod; callers name object::class_value::* directly), pin through pin_user_ptr_non_young and the header read through addr_class, metadata tests pinned to the stable key, three class_value unit tests, the latch test covers the new pin site, changelog fragment.
…ction object class_closure_id runs on hot generic paths (bind targets, bound-method receivers, method values) for every pointer. It proved ownership first (is_closure_ptr: heap-generation classification and a tracked header read), which cost Zod +4.2% instructions (is_closure_ptr +2.3%). An exotic-band ShapeId word followed by a code pointer other than js_class_constructor_called now rejects before the proof; only a class function object is proven.
…properties
Stage 3a of class constructors as function objects. A class's static data
properties (declared static fields and runtime `C.x = v`) were a cid-keyed
side table (CLASS_DYNAMIC_PROPS + CLASS_DYNAMIC_PROP_ORDER) that only the
class branches consulted. They are now slots of the class function object's
own-property bag (closure::props, D1) — traced as the object's child edge,
barriered, in creation order — and runtime-internal static keys (private
statics, computed-key records, class captures) live in the object's internal
state record, never as properties.
The storage primitives (class_dynamic_prop_root_store,
class_own_static_field_value, class_own_dynamic_prop_names,
class_has_own_dynamic_prop, class_delete_own_dynamic_prop) keep their
signatures over object::class_value::class_static_{get,set,remove,entries};
the seven direct readers use them; both tables, their root scans and the
incremental root-slot variant are deleted. GC tests that seeded a static as a
root slot now seed a class-table root that still is one; the copying test
keeps checking a young static is moved and rewritten (now through the bag).
Because the generic closure paths read the bag, `{...C}`, Object.assign,
Object.entries and for-in see a class's statics (they saw nothing).
A `static { }` block is no longer registered as a static method, so
`__perry_static_init_N` stops leaking into Reflect.ownKeys /
getOwnPropertyNames.
…get and a deep-equal operand
Found by the gap suite on the stage-1/2 build (20 class tests):
- `super()` to a dynamic parent that is a class (mixins, factory heritage,
`extends ns.C`) tested the INT32 tag and fell through to calling the
parent's [[Call]] (TypeError "cannot be invoked without 'new'"); it now
asks class_value_id and runs the class constructor on `this`.
is_self_heritage_value likewise.
- `C.bind(x).name` fell back to the thunk's function name ("bound ");
the declared name of a class function object is its class's.
- util.isDeepStrictEqual(ClassA, ClassB) compared renderings, so two classes
named alike were deep-equal; a class is identity-only, like a promise.
js_function_bind asked class_ref_id (and the legacy word) for every target before learning it was a closure; value_is_callable asked class_ref_id before the closure probe. A pointer target is a closure or a native handle (a class function object is a closure), so only a non-pointer target pays the class probe now. class_ref_id / class_prototype_ref_id are #[inline]: the method-bind path calls them per bind with an instance receiver, which the pre-filter rejects on the ShapeId word.
…d static tables CLASS_DYNAMIC_PROPS and CLASS_DYNAMIC_PROP_ORDER are gone (statics live in the class function object's bag); PASS1_MARKED's gc/mod.rs pin is re-audited for the one added reg_scanner! registration (the class-value table).
…up first A class held in `any` paid the plain-function walk before the class lookup: `C.s` went IC miss -> closure_get_dynamic_prop's Function.prototype fallbacks (allocating builtin-name strings) -> the object tail -> the class branch, and `C.m()` walked the instance/native/own-override arms of js_native_call_method first (per op, LTO-off builds: static_get 1608 -> 17229, dyn_static_call 3066 -> 32K). - The class branch of the generic read is now class_value_get_field; the generic read, closure_dynamic_prop_by_key (the IC-miss closure arm) and js_native_call_method route a class function object to it / to the class arm first (one ShapeId-word pre-filter for every other receiver). - The per-agent class table is a borrow-free page directory (TLS read, bounds check, two loads). - A static method's prologue caches its class's function object in its own zero-initialised global via js_static_this_resolve_class(cid, slot). Per op now (instr/op, base -> this, LTO-off): static_get 1608 -> 1572, dyn_static_call 3066 -> 3190, static_call 33 -> 46, dyn_new 8580 -> 8560, ctor_eq 4391 -> 4487, instanceof 470 -> 472, map_get 1071 -> 1124, class_value 24.5 -> 33.5.
…s pay no class check A class function object now carries its own sticky ShapeId (function_class_shape: dictionary kind, marker proto fact INTRINSIC_SERIAL_CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR_MARKER so it is not the FunctionDictionary id). No own-property transition moves it off that shape. The early class checks a4298db0b put in the generic read and in js_native_call_method's prologue ran for every receiver, and they changed inlining in the dispatcher (map.get +104 instr/op). They are gone. A class receiver is now routed only where a function is already proven and the ordinary test has already failed: - method calls: in the function-shape arm, after the Function.prototype inherits test declines (function_shape_decline, cold) -> class_value_method_call -> class_receiver_arm, which is the class arm split out of dispatch_primitive; - reads: in closure_get_dynamic_prop's non-base branch -> class_static_read. On those hot paths the class test is the code-pointer compare (shape::is_class_code). It is equivalent to the class ShapeId, since both are set at mint and never change, and it needs no thread-local read. The call/apply gates test the INT32 tag first, because a class function object's code is its throwing [[Call]] already. class_closure_id's proof is out of line behind its inline pre-filter. The parent-closure walk no longer answers `name`/`length` (#6530). Per op (instr, perrymaster release, base a26c45070 -> this): map.get 2868 -> 2866, fn.call 2346 -> 2343, fn.prop 686 -> 691, bind 2823 -> 2854 (still open). Class ops: static_get 1314 -> 1494, dyn_static_call 2229 -> 2311, static_call 18 -> 31, dyn_new 6545 -> 6777.
It went out of line once its class probe moved; bind reads it twice per call.
…tions rejected inline A read of a class value that reached closure_get_dynamic_prop's class branch (class_static_read) allocated a key string on every read: zod's libc memmove/memcmp share rose by 11.8M instructions. The object tail and the IC-miss closure arm now pass their key header through (closure_get_dynamic_prop_keyed / class_closure_read_by_key), so a class read builds no string. class_closure_id rejects an ordinary function inline: the code-pointer compare comes before the out-of-line proof.
…he is read in place Exact uprobe counts on a zod-shaped `new` (a constructor doing six `this.m = this.m.bind(this)`) showed the same call graph in both arms. The difference was per-call work: js_class_method_bind asked class_ref_id twice for every ordinary instance (its constructor-ref check, then class_id_from_method_receiver), and after stage 0 each ask runs the pointer pre-filter plus a prototype-ref probe. - class_ref_id dispatches on the tag: an INT32 word takes the legacy decoders, a pointer takes the class-function pre-filter only, anything else is None. - js_class_method_bind asks once and passes the answer on (class_id_from_method_receiver_known). - function_shape_inherits_from_function_prototype read its per-agent verdict cache with Cell::get, which copies the whole 64-entry (512-byte) array on every bind/call/apply. It now indexes in place. zod-shaped `new` with six binds (instr/op, CGU14, base a26c45070 -> this): 36140 -> 36236 (was +449 before this change). bind 2825 -> 2848, fn.call 2341 -> 2314.
…d on its function object
Stage 3b. `Object.setPrototypeOf(C, proto)` / `(C, null)` on a class value
recorded the link in CLASS_STATIC_PROTOTYPES / CLASS_STATIC_PROTOTYPE_NULLED
(cid-keyed, root-scanned). It is now the class function object's recorded
[[Prototype]] in its state record ("p"), the same record every function object
uses — a traced edge, no table, no root scan. A function (including another
class) is now a valid prototype: `Object.setPrototypeOf(Q, P); Q.fromP` read
undefined before (the table refused closures).
…property
A statically lowered `C.x` reads (and `C.x = v` writes) the declared static's
`@perry_static_*` global; the runtime only kept that global in step on plain
writes. After `delete C.x` compiled code kept reading the old value, after
`Object.defineProperty(C, "y", { get })` it kept the data value (the class
kept the data slot beside the new accessor), and an attribute-only
`defineProperty(C, "z", { writable: false })` was dropped, so `C.z = 30`
still wrote.
- class_static_alias_sync runs after every mutation of a class static: the
global holds the value while the key is a plain writable own data property
of the class function object, and TAG_HOLE otherwise.
- StaticFieldGet: load + `== TAG_HOLE` -> js_class_static_field_get (generic
[[Get]] on the class function object). StaticFieldSet on a detached global
-> js_class_static_field_put (generic [[Set]]: setter, read-only refusal, or
re-creating a deleted static, which re-attaches the alias).
- Redefining an own static data property as an accessor removes the data slot.
- An attribute-only defineProperty on an existing static keeps the omitted
attributes (ValidateAndApplyPropertyDescriptor) and records the new ones; a
strict [[Set]] of a read-only static throws.
test-files/test_gap_class_statics_alias.ts (== node; red on a26c45070).
…the class function object
Stage 3e of class constructors as function objects. A class's static
Symbol-keyed data properties (`static [sym] = v`, `C[sym] = v`,
`Object.defineProperty(C, sym, ...)`) were a class-id-keyed side table,
CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOLS plus CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOL_ORDER, with a GC scanner, a
sliced root slot and a forwarding rewrite of their own. They now live in the
per-object symbol store every object uses (SYMBOL_PROPERTIES, keyed by owner
address), owned by the class's pinned function object, whose address never
changes. Entries keep creation order there. Both tables, their scanner, the
ClassStaticSymbol root slot and its rewrite are deleted.
store_class_static_symbol_root, class_static_symbol_lookup and
class_static_symbol_keys_for_class keep their signatures over that store; the
latch that keeps `instanceof` off the table in symbol-free programs stays.
Behaviour fixed (node-comparison fixture test_gap_class_static_symbols.ts):
- an inherited `Sub[sym]` / `sym in Sub` reads the parent constructor's
static symbol (class_static_symbol_lookup_in_chain); own-property checks
stay own;
- `Object.defineProperty(C, sym, { value, enumerable: false })` records the
attributes (omitted ones false on a new key, retained on an existing one);
- `delete C[sym]` deletes it.
On a26c45070 the fixture failed from the inherited read on and then stopped
at the defineProperty line.
…ts function object
ClassDefinitionEvaluation's SetFunctionLength / SetFunctionName: `length` and
`name` are minted into the class function object's own-property object with
it (in that order, {writable: false, enumerable: false, configurable: true}),
so `C.name` and `x.constructor.name` are one lookup in that object's shape
instead of the class-registry walk plus a fresh string per read. A static
method or accessor of the same name owns the key instead (a registration after
the object exists removes the intrinsic); a static field replaces it with
ordinary attributes; a re-registered name/length updates it.
The class read answers own data from the object first while no per-evaluation
class object exists (CLASS_OBJECT_EVER). A deleted own key now continues on
the class's [[Prototype]] (recorded prototype, parent class, parent function,
Function.prototype): `delete E.name; E.name` is "" and `delete L.length`
reads 0 as in Node (was undefined); getOwnPropertyNames drops a deleted
length/name.
zmicro (instr/op, base aca0fc8 -> this): C.name 4566 -> 856,
x.constructor.name 8459 -> 4795, factory read 1354 -> 1096.
- gc_runtime_root_holders: CLASS_STATIC_PROTOTYPES / CLASS_STATIC_PROTOTYPE_NULLED entries deleted (the tables went with the recorded-[[Prototype]] commit); PASS1_MARKED's gc/mod.rs pin re-audited and moved: the only change is the one class-value reg_scanner! registration (noted in its why). - thread_exit_address_globals: CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOLS / CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOL_ORDER entries deleted (class static symbols are owner-keyed own symbol properties; the owner-keyed pass releases them). - registry_lifetime allowlist: CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOL_ORDER deleted (gone) and CLASS_STATIC_DEFINED_ATTRS deleted (it now has a removal path, class_static_clear_defined_attrs). - The class read's own-property probe reads the key through string_data (string payload-access ratchet); the intrinsic-name unit test casts its fn pointer through *const () (-D warnings on all targets).

…re array from a root RefreshClassExprCaptures allocated the capture array, then lowered each capture and pushed it, passing the js_array_alloc register to every js_array_push_f64. A capture can collect (an IC-miss property read, a getter), so a moving minor between the allocation and a push handed the push a from-space array. gc-root-dominance --stale-registers found it on #11609's test_gap_class_value_reflection.ts (source=alloc -> sink=js_array_push_f64), the third use against the curated budget of 2. The array now lives in a temp root (rooting::call_rooted): each push re-reads it there (Arg::Root), each intermediate push result is rooted in turn, and only the last push's result becomes a register, after the last capture. The slots are released with one stack cut on every path out. No new table. Curated corpus: --stale-registers --moving-only back to 2 (main's two InOrder.run uses). New codegen test class_expr_capture_refresh_rereads_its_capture_array_below_each_capture is red with the old lowering.
crates/perry-codegen/src/gc_call_effects.rs conflicted with #11565 (S1), which replaced the hand-kept CannotCollect allowlist with generated per-target tables in crates/perry-codegen/src/gc_effects/*.tsv. Took main's version wholesale. This PR's own edit to that file (classifying js_class_value as CannotCollect) is now obsolete: the symbol is covered by the generated tables once CI regenerates them against archives that include it.
…class function object (3d) A ClassBody static accessor is now an accessor property of the class function object's own-property object: installed at mint (or when a computed key registers later) with the ClassBody attributes on its key and one reflected closure per half. Reflection, defineProperty, delete, Object.keys, propertyIsEnumerable, super.x and inherited reads all read that one property, so static_accessor_attrs.rs -- the (class_id, name) attribute table that existed only because a class value was not an object -- is deleted. Private static accessors are not properties and stay with the registration. #11521: a write to a getter-only static is rejected. Strict PutValue throws the TypeError node throws; Reflect.set's OrdinarySet walk sees the class accessor through its own-descriptor probe and returns false. A static walk steps only to a registered class parent, as class_static_member_value and class_prototype_get do: stepping to a builtin parent (`class ZodError extends Error`, id 0xFFFF_0001) minted a class function object for it, grew the class-value directory to 16M pages and made one minor GC scan them all (Zod +22%). Static symbol reads (class_static_symbol_lookup, class_static_symbol_keys_for_class) no longer mint either: a function object that was never created owns no properties. class_value_mint debug-asserts a compiled class id. Tests: test_gap_class_static_accessor_reflect.ts (G5's two bugs), test_gap_class_static_accessor_props.ts, test_gap_class_static_getter_only_set.ts (#11521), and a class_value unit test.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The move to class function objects leaves several correctness gaps in static properties. A delete can remove C.prototype or a non-configurable static. super.x can read the wrong ancestor property. A static method on a subclass of a built-in can trigger an assertion or excessive allocation. An assignment expression that runs a static setter can return a stale value. These issues should be fixed before merge.

…alue root
A class function object is born old and PINNED, and marking never queues a
pinned header ("pinned objects are always live"), so no collector ever
enumerated its child slots from its root in CLASS_VALUES. Minors reached the
own-property bag through the remembered set the bag_ensure barrier dirtied,
but a full trace never visited the bag: the shape the bag carries was never
noted as carried, post-trace descriptor retirement dropped it, and every
static of the class read back as absent (the forced-evacuation
class-static-computed-field case of the #6943 suite).
The class-value root scan now visits the `props` edge of each class function
object as a root slot of its own: a full trace marks and traces the bag, and a
moving collection rewrites the edge. No new table.
Regression: class_value::tests::a_full_collection_keeps_the_class_statics_bag
(red without the edge visit).
native_module.rs was 2006 lines, over the 2000-line cap. The class-method binding block (js_class_method_bind, its snapshot and by-id forms, the test hooks, and the private-brand-aware builder they share) moves to native_module/class_method_bind.rs; native_module.rs re-exports it, so every path is unchanged. The LTO keepalive-anchor test reads the new file for KEEP_CLASS_METHOD_BIND_BY_ID.
…cs-bag test string through OwnedStringBytes The move to native_module/class_method_bind.rs left the gc_runtime_root_holders inventory and frontier entries for TEST_BOUND_METHOD_MOVE and TEST_COLLECT_BOUND_METHOD_AFTER_CAPTURE_INIT naming native_module.rs; they now name the file the cells live in. The LTO keepalive-anchor test no longer reads native_module.rs, so its unused include is dropped (-D warnings). The statics-bag regression test open-coded the StringHeader payload offset (the string payload-access ratchet counted one new inline offset); it now copies the payload with OwnedStringBytes::copy_from_header.
…slot, and only when a capture can collect df94a3a rooted each js_array_push_f64 result in a fresh temp-root slot. tsc's module-scope closure holds 711 capture refreshes of ~75 captures each, so that added 53,396 rooted stores (seven blocks apiece): the function went from 198k to 572k blocks and LLVM's mem2reg (IDF calculation per alloca) went quadratic — tsc compiled in 50-80+ min instead of ~15-20. The array is now the canonical rooted accumulator (one slot, republished by each push), and it is rooted only when a capture can collect; plain local and boxed-variable captures have no collection point between two pushes. tsc's closure is back to the base instruction count exactly.

Root and reload v across the detached setter.
A detached StaticFieldSet passes v to js_class_static_field_put and returns the original register after the call. The generic [[Set]] path can invoke a user-defined static setter. That setter can collect, so the returned v may be a stale NaN-boxed pointer.
Use with_rooted_group with Repr::Boxed. Adopt v before the detached branch, pass its reloaded value to the setter, keep the root live through the branch join, and return a second reloaded value. A root inside the runtime helper cannot rewrite the caller’s SSA register.

Reject non-configurable own properties in class_delete_own_key, including prototype.
Lines 199-202 now send every class-constructor closure to class_delete_own_key before the existing closure checks. Those skipped checks rejected delete fn.prototype and any key whose get_property_attrs marks it non-configurable. class_delete_own_key rejects only a non-configurable static accessor. As a result:
delete C.prototypereturns1. It also marksprototypedeleted. After that,Object.hasOwn(C, "prototype")reportsfalse(seehas_own.rsLine 224, where the deleted check runs before thelength/prototypearm). Node throws a TypeError in strict mode, andC.prototypeis{configurable: false}.Object.defineProperty(C, "x", { value: 1, configurable: false }); delete C.xremoves the property. The data attributes live inclass_static_defined_attrs, and the helper never checks them.
The doc comment says the helper returns 0 when the property is non-configurable. It does not do that for data properties.
🐛 Proposed fix
fn class_delete_own_key(class_id: u32, name: &str) -> i32 {
+ // `C.prototype` is a non-configurable own data property (MakeConstructor).
+ if name == "prototype" {

Check each parent’s accessor and data property before advancing.
If grandparent A has a static accessor x and parent B has an own static data property x, super.x in a subclass of B must read B.x. This accessor walk reaches A.x before the later data walk checks B.x. The new lookup also includes accessors installed through defineProperty. Check both property kinds at each class ID before moving to its parent. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the static `super` lookup around `class_static_own_accessor` to check
both accessor and data properties on each class ID before advancing to its
parent. Return the value from the nearest matching property, including accessors
installed through `defineProperty`, so a parent’s own data property takes
precedence over a grandparent’s accessor.

Stop the static-data walk before a built-in parent.
If a static method on class E extends Error reads a missing super property, this walk calls class_static_get with the built-in Error class ID. Unlike the accessor walk, it does not check is_class_id_registered. class_static_get then calls class_value_ptr, which attempts to mint a class function object for that ID. This hits the mint assertion in debug builds and can expand the class-value directory substantially in release builds. Stop this walk at unregistered parents and use the appropriate built-in lookup path if the property must remain readable. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Main moved class static accessors onto the class function object (#11651) and made a class value its function object (#11609). Under the this-as-a-parameter ABI: - static accessor getters/setters (class_value, static_accessor_call) are bare bodies, called through js_bare_body_fn!; - js_class_constructor_called, the [[Call]] body of every class function object, declares its receiver; - the static data-property method call in class_receiver_arm passes the class as the receiver argument instead of setting the deleted implicit-this cell; - the pinned-roots promise test callbacks declare the receiver. Regenerated the linux gc_call_effects table and the wasm32 runtime ABI table; the gc/mod.rs holder pin covers both sides' edits.
Brings in main's class function objects (#11609) and class static accessors as accessor properties (#11651). With the body info word: - a class function object carries one static CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR_INFO (body js_class_constructor_called); is_class_info compares the info word by address, and class_closure_id's pre-filter compares the raw word at +8 without dereferencing it; - the bound-method closure built in class_method_bind uses BOUND_METHOD_INFO; - class static accessor values get the setter length from the accessor table (class_own_setter_length), as instance accessors do; - CLASS_STATIC_ACCESSORS entries are AccessorDecl on main's new registration paths; - test bodies are allocated through fn_info!. Regenerated the linux gc_call_effects table and the wasm32 runtime ABI table; the holder audit note keeps both branches' re-audits and the pins cover the merged gc sources.
Stacked on #11609 (a class used as a value is its function object). Review the diff against that branch. Fixes #11521.
What
Class static accessors become real accessor properties on the class function object's property object, and
static_accessor_attrs.rs(a side table of accessor attributes) is deleted. So:Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(C, "x")reflects the real accessor;[[Set]]rules. It throws in strict code, where it was silently accepted before (A write to a getter-only STATIC class accessor is silently accepted (node throws); plus an unguarded instance-chain read on the keyless path #11521).Two builtin-parent guards:
is_class_id_registeredaccepts, so they never create a class function object for a built-in parent such asError. Without this guard Zod regressed by 22%, because the class-value table grew to 16M pages that the collector then scanned. With it, Zod is +0.6%.class_value_if_minted, which never creates one.debug_assertinclass_value_mintrejects built-in ids.Evidence
