From 591750bd6a3c20d43f51c8f2275a6c0100bcf335 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Desjardins Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 14:48:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Rebuild against current mozilla-central SpiderMonkey (157a1), enable SharedArrayBuffer/Atomics pythonmonkey previously embedded mozjs-136a1.dll, a ~19-month-old Firefox Nightly Alpha build that predates Firefox 136's stable release and its out-of-band security patch (136.0.4) for an actively-exploited sandbox-escape CVE. This rebuilds against a current mozilla-central snapshot (commit 1704651e7d6c706fcb753adab577e0954d61cee0) instead. Ten distinct SpiderMonkey embedder-API breaks between 136a1 and current trunk are fixed, ranging from mechanical (asm.js removed, mozilla::Unused removed) to a real architecture change: JS::JobQueue's per-job enqueuePromiseJob push callback was removed entirely in favor of an engine-internal queue the embedder must explicitly drain via js::RunJobs(), which required adding checkpoints at three call sites (top-level script execution, and the two places PromiseType.cc attaches/resolves promise reactions across the Python/JS boundary) to avoid a real hang this surfaced during testing. Also enables SharedArrayBuffer/Atomics (JS::RealmCreationOptions:: setSharedMemoryAndAtomicsEnabled), off by default in this embedding but required for Pyodide's threaded WASM build to link at all ("LinkError: shared memory is disabled" otherwise) - unrelated to the version bump itself but bundled here since both were verified together. See SPIDERMONKEY_VERSION_BUMP.md for the full change-by-change rationale, explicit risk/review flags on the two changes needing real SpiderMonkey- internals judgment (the JobQueue redesign and a GC-safety adaptation in BufferType.cc), and what was and wasn't verified. Verified against basic eval, SharedArrayBuffer/Atomics, async/await across the Python/JS boundary, and both real localExec() test suites (dcp_local_job_test.py, pycomod_localexec_test.py) end-to-end.

Real `dcp.compute_for()` + `job.localExec()`, a real +Python/Pyodide work function, real network communication with the real +DCP scheduler and package manager, running under pythonmonkey -- the +original goal of this entire investigation. Three more bugs (all in +`localExec()`'s own job-completion detection, on top of the WebSocket fix +below) were found and fixed to get from "real results delivered" to +"process actually exits with the right value" -- full details in +`localexec_patch/STATUS.md`'s "DONE" section at the top. + +## Real Pyodide jobs run end-to-end under pythonmonkey (WebSocket fix) + +After this file's original C++ rebuild (shared memory) and a series of +Bifrost2/dcp-client fixes documented below, one issue remained: a real, +reproducible bug in Distributive's `packages.distributed.computer` +package-manager service that only pythonmonkey ever hit, because +dcp-client hard-codes pythonmonkey to long-poll forever (every other +platform upgrades to WebSocket almost immediately, sidestepping it). +**Fix: gave pythonmonkey a real `WebSocket` implementation** — two new +builtin modules (`WebSocket.js` + `WebSocket-internal.py`, the latter +backed by `aiohttp`), following the exact existing pattern of +`XMLHttpRequest.js`/`XMLHttpRequest-internal.py`. Loaded dynamically via +`require()` at import time — **no C++ rebuild needed** for this one, only +for the original `SharedArrayBuffer` fix below. Full details, the two +bugs found while building the polyfill, and the resulting **first-ever +correct end-to-end Pyodide execution** (`dcp_local_job_test.py`'s 8 +slices all returned the right letters) are in +`localexec_patch/STATUS.md`'s "BREAKTHROUGH" section at the top. + +## RESULT: BUILD SUCCEEDED, FIX CONFIRMED WORKING + +`pythonmonkey.pyd` and `mozjs-136a1.dll` built successfully and copied into +the installed `dcp` package's `site-packages/pythonmonkey/` (originals +preserved as `*.orig-backup` in that same directory). Confirmed directly: + +``` +typeof SharedArrayBuffer: function (was "undefined") +typeof Atomics: object (was "undefined") +WebAssembly.Memory shared test: OK (was "FAIL: shared memory is disabled") +``` + +The one-line fix (`creationOptions.setSharedMemoryAndAtomicsEnabled(true);` +in `src/modules/pythonmonkey/pythonmonkey.cc`) works exactly as expected. + +**Ran the original Python/Pyodide work-function test +(`dcp_local_job_test.py`) — the actual blocker is confirmed resolved.** +`LinkError: shared memory is disabled`, `API._pyodide is undefined`, and +the resulting infinite "Main module was provided before job assignment" +retry loop are **all gone**. Pyodide's WASM module now links and +initializes successfully — Python work functions can actually start +running under `localExec()` now, which was impossible before this fix no +matter what else got patched at the dcp-client/JS level. + +The run then hit a **different, unrelated issue**: `ENOSLICEHANDLER: Must +specify the slice handler using dcp.set_slice_handler(fn)`, repeated +per-slice, followed by `Exception: Wait called before exec()`. This turned +out to be two real Bifrost2/dcp-client bugs (not pythonmonkey/build +issues, not usage errors) — see `localexec_patch/STATUS.md` for the full +writeup: + +1. `job.py`'s `Job` class only builds the real Bifrost2-wrapped work + function script (the thing that actually calls + `dcp.set_slice_handler()`) inside `_before_exec()`, which is wired up + for `exec()` but never for `localExec()`. Fixed by adding an explicit + `localExec()` method to `job.py`. +2. The earlier session's chained-require fix dropped BravoJS's own + require-object methods (`.id` etc.), causing `require.id is not a + function` inside BravoJS's own module system, which aborted job + assignment and permanently polluted the shared JS global's + `module.main` — producing an infinite `describe`/`assign`/reject retry + loop that looked unrelated. Fixed by copying BravoJS's require + properties onto the merged require. + +**FINAL STATUS: all Bifrost2/pythonmonkey bugs found and fixed.** +Decisive proof: the exact `job.js_ref.workFunctionURI`/`jobArguments` +payload that a fixed Bifrost2 `_before_exec()` generates was dumped to +JSON and replayed onto a fresh job in Node.js +(`debug-dcp-worker/node_pyodide_replay_test.js`), which called +`localExec()` and **completed fully: `Job completed: YELLING!`** — proving +the generated Python/Pyodide work-function harness and argument-vector +construction are entirely correct, with no remaining Bifrost2-level bugs. + +The earlier XHR-restoration hypothesis in this section was WRONG (traced +in `localexec_patch/STATUS.md`: the real path is BravoJS's own +dependency-fetch protocol → `ModuleCache.fetchModule` → +`dcp4.packageManager.request("fetchModuleURL")`, a socket.io RPC call — +not `pyodide-core.js`'s fetch relay at all). The actual remaining failure +under pythonmonkey is a real HTTP `404` then `502` from Distributive's +`packages.distributed.computer` package-manager service's own backend, +reproduced even with plain `aiohttp` and plain Node `https` with no +pythonmonkey or dcp-client involved at all — while the identical request +pattern against `scheduler.distributed.computer` (the main scheduler) +sustains dozens of round-trips without ever failing. This is external +infrastructure, not a pythonmonkey engine bug and not a shared-memory +issue — **`SharedArrayBuffer`/`Atomics` remain fixed and confirmed working +in every run checked, old and new, with zero `LinkError`s anywhere.** See +`localexec_patch/STATUS.md`'s "Pyodide next issues" section for the full +evidence trail and recommendation (retry after a cooldown; check +`packages.distributed.computer`'s health directly with whoever operates +it, since this session's own heavy automated testing may have contributed +to the degraded state observed). A separately-checked background task run +(`~/DCP/keepalive_test.out`, task `bf4xptw1p`) predates the +localExec()/require.id fixes and shows the old, now-fixed +`ENOSLICEHANDLER` failure — superseded, kept only as historical evidence +that shared memory itself was never the problem in that run either. + + +Goal: rebuild pythonmonkey locally with one added line +(`creationOptions.setSharedMemoryAndAtomicsEnabled(true);` in +`src/modules/pythonmonkey/pythonmonkey.cc`) to unblock Pyodide/Python work +functions under `localExec()`. See `localexec_patch/STATUS.md` in this repo +for the full context of why this fix is needed. + +Repo cloned to: `C:\Users\danie\DCP\pythonmonkey-src` + +## Exact build requirements (from reading `setup.sh` in full) + +- **Rust pinned to exactly 1.85** (`--default-toolchain 1.85`) — not + whatever `rustup` installs by default (that gave 1.98.1). +- **cbindgen** via `cargo install cbindgen`. +- **Poetry 1.7.1**, plus the `poetry-dynamic-versioning` plugin. +- **clang/LLVM** — the build targets `$(clang --print-target-triple)`, + i.e. SpiderMonkey's Windows build uses clang (clang-cl ABI), not plain + MSVC `cl.exe` directly. +- **On Windows, the script installs NONE of its own dependencies** — it + explicitly skips that step (`"Dependencies are not going to be installed + automatically on Windows."`) and expects everything already present in + an MSYS2/MozillaBuild-style bash environment: `cmake`, `m4`, `unzip`, + `wget`, `curl`, plus Python for Mozilla's own `mach`/`mozbuild` build + system. +- Downloads the **entire Firefox source tree** as a zip from + `mozilla-firefox/firefox` at the commit in `mozcentral.version`, applies + ~10 `sed` patches to it (SpiderMonkey/PythonMonkey-specific fixes), then + builds via `configure && make -j$CPUS` inside `js/src`. +- Known risk not addressed by the script: **Python version**. Mozilla's + `mach`/`mozbuild` build tooling has historically required an older + Python (3.8–3.11 range). This machine has Python 3.14.7. Not yet + confirmed whether mozilla-central's current build system tolerates + 3.14 — this is a real, unquantified risk until actually attempted. + +## Progress + +- [x] Rust installed via `rustup-init.exe` (already present: rustc 1.98.1, + installed before this session started). +- [x] NASM installed via `winget install NASM.NASM` (3.02). +- [x] MSYS2 installed via `winget install MSYS2.MSYS2`, at `C:\msys64`. +- [x] Rust 1.85 toolchain pinned (`rustup toolchain install 1.85`) — + confirmed via `rustup toolchain list`: both `stable` (1.98.1, + default) and `1.85-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` now present. Will need + `rustup override set 1.85` (or `+1.85` per-command) inside the + pythonmonkey repo checkout so its build actually uses 1.85, not the + 1.98.1 default. +- [x] cbindgen installed via `cargo install cbindgen`. +- [x] "C++ Clang Compiler for Windows" VS component + (`Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Llvm.Clang`) added to the + existing VS Build Tools 2026 install via + `vs_installer.exe modify --add ...` — this is what CMake's + `-T ClangCL` toolset (used by `build.py` on Windows) actually needs; + a standalone `winget install LLVM.LLVM` alone would NOT have + provided this VS-integrated toolset. +- [~] LLVM.LLVM (standalone command-line clang) — install kicked off via + winget, still running as of this log entry. Not certain yet whether + this is even needed in addition to the VS ClangCL component above + (setup.sh's own `clang --print-target-triple` call wants a `clang` + on PATH — the VS component may or may not add a plain `clang.exe` to + PATH by itself, so keeping this standalone install as a safety net). +- [~] MSYS2 packages (`m4 unzip wget curl base-devel`) — install kicked + off via `pacman -S`, still running as of this log entry. +- [ ] Poetry 1.7.1 + poetry-dynamic-versioning — **currently believed + unnecessary**. Found that `build.py` (the actual build driver) is a + plain, directly-runnable Python script (`python build.py`) — Poetry + is only the conventional wrapper (`poetry build` invokes this as a + custom build-backend script), not a hard requirement. `build.py` + itself calls `bash ./setup.sh` (if `_spidermonkey_install/lib` + doesn't already exist) then does the CMake build then copies + `pythonmonkey.pyd`/`mozjs-*.dll` into `python/pythonmonkey/`. Plan: + skip Poetry entirely, run `python build.py` directly, then manually + copy the two output files into the already-installed `dcp` package's + `site-packages/pythonmonkey/` — no full `pip install`/wheel-build + round-trip needed for what we're trying to confirm. +- [x] `mozcentral.version` checked: pinned Firefox commit is + `6bca861985ba51920c1cacc21986af01c51bd690`. Not yet checked exact + download size, but full mozilla-firefox source archives are + routinely several hundred MB compressed / multiple GB uncompressed — + expect this step alone to take a while depending on network speed. +- [x] **`setup.sh` fully succeeded — SpiderMonkey itself is built and + installed** to `_spidermonkey_install/lib` (confirmed: `build.py`'s + `ensure_spidermonkey()`, which checks for exactly that directory + before deciding whether to (re)run `setup.sh`, is no longer being + re-entered — `build.py` now proceeds straight to `run_cmake_build()` + on every rerun). This took 9 rounds of Windows-environment fixes + (see "Notes as we go" below for the full trail): OSTYPE detection, + `python3` shim (twice, for two different tools), idempotent + extraction, ATL/MFC components (three sub-issues), Python 3.11 for + Mozilla's own build tooling, a real bug in mozbuild's `shellutil.py` + plus a self-inflicted `MOZILLABUILD` env var issue, and finally a + MinGW-w64 `make` requirement. None of the fixes needed were related + to the actual one-line pythonmonkey change — all Windows/environment + friction from running Mozilla's Linux/macOS-first build tooling + without the official "MozillaBuild" package. +- [~] `run_cmake_build()` (the second, separate build stage — compiling + pythonmonkey's own C++ extension via CMake's `-T ClangCL` toolset, + distinct from SpiderMonkey's own `make`-based build above) — in + progress. First attempt failed with `MSB8020: The build tools for + ClangCL ... cannot be found` — confirmed the earlier, non-elevated + "C++ Clang Compiler for Windows" VS component install attempt + (way back near the start of this log) never actually took effect, + for the same silent-elevation reason later diagnosed for ATL/MFC. + Fixed the same way: `Start-Process -Verb RunAs` — confirmed this + time via `VC\Tools\Llvm\x64` actually existing on disk afterward. +- [ ] One-line fix applied to `pythonmonkey.cc` — not yet applied. Plan: + apply it **before** the first full build (not after), since + `ensure_spidermonkey()` only skips the *SpiderMonkey* build on + re-runs, and the CMake/`pythonmonkey.cc` compile step is fast + regardless — no benefit to building once without the fix first. +- [ ] Built `.pyd`/`.dll` copied into the installed `dcp` package's + pythonmonkey (`C:\Users\danie\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python314\site-packages\pythonmonkey\`, + replacing the existing `pythonmonkey.pyd` and `mozjs-136a1.dll`) and + confirmed `SharedArrayBuffer`/`Atomics` become defined (rerun the + isolated `sab_check.py`-style probe from `localexec_patch/STATUS.md`'s + "Pyodide / shared memory" section before attempting the full job + test, to fail fast if the engine build itself didn't take). +- [ ] Pyodide work-function test (`dcp_local_job_test.py`) re-run to + confirm the actual fix resolves the original blocker end-to-end. + +## Notes as we go + +- [x] Backed up the currently-installed, working `pythonmonkey.pyd` and + `mozjs-136a1.dll` from site-packages to `*.orig-backup` alongside them — + if this build goes sideways, the JS-work-function success from earlier + this session stays reproducible without a rebuild. +- [x] One-line fix applied to `src/modules/pythonmonkey/pythonmonkey.cc` + (confirmed exact location by reading it, matches what GitHub showed): + added `creationOptions.setSharedMemoryAndAtomicsEnabled(true);` right + after `JS::RealmCreationOptions creationOptions = JS::RealmCreationOptions();` + (line ~596). +- **Hit and fixed 3 Windows-specific `setup.sh` issues, none related to + the actual fix, all local/environmental**: + 1. `$OSTYPE` on this machine (both Git Bash and MSYS2's bash, invoked + via `subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True)` → `cmd.exe /c bash ...`) + reports `"cygwin"`, not `"msys"*` as the script's Windows-detection + assumes (likely an `MSYSTEM` env var difference from not going + through MSYS2's normal launcher). Fixed by patching all 5 `"msys"*` + checks in `setup.sh` to also accept `"cygwin"*` (backed up as + `setup.sh.orig-backup`). + 2. The script's own Poetry install (`curl ... | python3 - --version + 1.7.1`) calls `python3` specifically, which doesn't exist on this + machine (only `python`) — `python3` is a Windows App Execution Alias + stub that just prints a Microsoft Store prompt and exits non-zero. + Confirmed Poetry is only actually *used* later in a + `.git/hooks/pre-commit`-gated dev-tooling branch that doesn't apply + to our shallow clone — skipped the whole Poetry install block. + 3. **A real stall, not a fast failure**: the first `wget -c` download of + the Firefox source zip appeared to hang indefinitely — file size + stopped growing (stuck at exactly 1,149,034,545 bytes) for 19+ + minutes, with the `bash ./setup.sh` process still alive/responding + but with **zero child processes** (confirmed via + `Get-CimInstance Win32_Process` walking the actual process tree: + `python.exe` → `cmd.exe /c "bash ./setup.sh"` → `bash.exe`, no wget + anywhere in the whole system). Killed the process tree (`TaskStop` on + the tracked background task) and relaunched — `wget -c`'s resume + support meant no data was lost. On relaunch, the download actually + turned out to have already fully completed (reached "Done downloading + spidermonkey source code" — so 1.1GB compressed is apparently the + real final size of this pinned Firefox source snapshot, not a partial + download after all; the first run's *true* problem is unconfirmed — + could have been a slow/stalled final TCP segment, unclear). This + surfaced a **second** problem: `unzip`, run non-interactively via + Python's `subprocess.Popen` (no attached stdin), hit a + `replace .../.arcconfig? [y/n/A/N/r]` conflict prompt against files + left over from the first (killed) run's partial extraction, got EOF + on stdin, defaulted to "[N]one" (skip all conflicts), and the + subsequent `mv firefox- firefox-source` step then failed to find + a directory to rename (exact mechanism of why unzip "succeeded" + despite skipping everything not fully confirmed, but the practical + fix was simple). Fixed by `rm -rf`-ing both the partial + `firefox-` and `firefox-source` directories and rerunning — the + zip itself didn't need to be re-fetched. **Lesson for next time**: if + a `setup.sh` run gets killed partway through unzip, always clean up + the extraction directories before rerunning, not just check the zip. +- **The flagged Python-version risk was real (6th issue)**: once past ATL/MFC, + `configure` got into Mozilla's own `mozbuild` frontend (parsing + `moz.build`/`.mozbuild` template files) and hit + `AttributeError: module 'ast' has no attribute 'Str'` — `ast.Str` (and + `Num`/`Bytes`/`NameConstant`/`Ellipsis`) were deprecated in Python 3.8 + and fully removed in 3.12; this machine's `python3` shim pointed at + 3.14.7. Fixed by installing Python 3.11.9 (`winget install + Python.Python.3.11`, landed at + `C:\Users\danie\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311`) and pointing + the `python3` shim at it instead. Note: a plain file-copy shim (which + worked fine for 3.14) did **not** work for 3.11 — it errored with a + missing `api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll`, because standalone `python.exe` + depends on sibling DLLs in its own install directory. Fixed by creating + the `python3.exe` copy *inside* the Python311 directory itself (next to + its dependencies) and adding that directory to PATH, rather than copying + the exe out to an isolated directory like the working 3.14 shim did. + Also had to delete Mozilla's own cached build virtualenv + (`~/.mozbuild/srcdirs/firefox-source-/_virtualenvs`), since + `configure` had already created and permanently bound one to the old + 3.14 interpreter on an earlier run — simply changing the shim wasn't + enough on its own. +- 7th issue, minor, **later found to be a red herring caused by its own + band-aid fix (see 8th issue)**: past the Python version fix, hit + `KeyError: 'MOZILLABUILD'` from mozbuild's Visual-Studio-project-file + generation backend (`visualstudio.py`'s `_write_mach_batch`, an optional + convenience feature for launching `mach` from within the VS IDE — not + needed for our command-line-only build) doing an unguarded + `os.environ["MOZILLABUILD"]` lookup to check for an `msys2` + subdirectory. First fix attempt: just set `MOZILLABUILD=/c/msys64` (the + code only calls `.exists()` on the derived path, so it seemed like it + just needed the env var to exist at all) — **this was wrong and caused + the 8th issue below**; properly fixed there instead by guarding the + `os.environ[...]` lookups with `.get(...)` and removing the env var. +- **8th issue: `config_sub(shell, target)` in + `build/moz.configure/init.configure`** (line ~632) crashed with + `TypeError: NoneType takes no arguments` inside mozbuild's own + `shellutil._quote()` (`type(None)("'%s'")` — a type-preserving quoting + idiom that assumes its input is `str`/`bytes`/`int`, breaks on `None`). + Patched `shellutil.py`'s `_quote()` to special-case `None` (it's only + used to format a human-readable `log.debug("Executing: ...")` line, not + the actual command execution). That unmasked the real underlying issue + one level up: `check_cmd_output(shell, config_sub, triplet)` itself + passing `shell=None` into `subprocess.Popen`. + **Debugging this required discovering how restrictive `.configure` + files' execution sandbox actually is** (Mozilla's own DSL for these + files runs them with a heavily curated set of allowed names, presumably + to keep the config-dependency graph fully static/analyzable): plain + `import` statements are forbidden (`ImportError: Importing modules is + forbidden`), so is calling bare `print(...)` (`NameError: name 'print' + is not defined`), and even referencing the builtin `Exception` class by + name is unavailable (`NameError: name 'Exception' is not defined`) — + but *interpreter-raised* errors (from actually executing an operation + that fails, like an out-of-range index or a missing dict key) work fine + and carry a real message. Landed on `{}[f"...debug info..."]` — a + dict-lookup miss that raises a `KeyError` whose message is exactly the + f-string given — as a reliable way to surface debug values from inside + this sandbox without needing any disallowed name. This confirmed + `shell=None` specifically (the target-shell `@depends` value), while + `config_sub` (the file path) and `triplet` were both fine. + **Turned out to be self-inflicted by the 7th issue's own fix**: patching + just this one call site (`if shell is None: shell = ".../sh.exe"`) let + the build get further, but the exact same `shell=None` failure then + resurfaced in a *different* function + (`mozillabuild_bin_paths` → `os.path.dirname(shell)` → + `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'`) — + a strong sign the real bug lived one level up, in whatever produces + `shell` in the first place, not in each individual consumer. Read + `shell`'s own `@depends("CONFIG_SHELL", "MOZILLABUILD")` definition + (`init.configure` line ~137) and found it: `MOZILLABUILD=/c/msys64` + (set for the 7th issue above) gets read here too, and this function + tries `mozillabuild[0] + "/msys2/usr/bin/sh"` or `.../msys/bin/sh` + depending on whether an `msys2` subfolder exists directly under + `MOZILLABUILD` — a directory layout specific to the *official Mozilla + Build* package (which nests a nested "msys2" folder inside itself), not + our plain MSYS2 install (`C:\msys64`, no nested "msys2" folder, and + using `usr/bin` not `msys/bin` anyway). Neither guessed path exists, so + `find_program()` silently returned `None` instead of falling through to + the correct, simpler default (bare `"sh"`, resolved via a normal PATH + search, which would have found MSYS2's real `sh.exe` immediately). + **Properly fixed**: reverted the band-aid in `config_sub()`, stopped + setting `MOZILLABUILD` to a fake/misleading path entirely, and instead + fixed the two *actual* `os.environ["MOZILLABUILD"]` call sites in + `visualstudio.py` to use `.get("MOZILLABUILD")` with a `None`-safe + check. This is the real fix for the 7th issue too — no env var needed at + all, just don't crash on it being absent. + **Lesson reinforced**: prefer fixing the actual root `@depends` + definition (or, here, the actual root *cause* one level further back) + over patching individual call sites one at a time — the first + `config_sub()` patch looked like a fix but was really just relocating + the same underlying problem to its next consumer. + **Debugging technique note**: getting to this point required discovering + how restrictive `.configure` files' execution sandbox is (Mozilla's own + DSL for these files runs with a heavily curated set of allowed names, + presumably to keep the config-dependency graph fully static/analyzable): + plain `import` statements are forbidden (`ImportError: Importing modules + is forbidden`), so is calling bare `print(...)` (`NameError: name + 'print' is not defined`), and even referencing the builtin `Exception` + class by name is unavailable (`NameError: name 'Exception' is not + defined`) — but *interpreter-raised* errors (from actually executing an + operation that fails, like a missing dict key) work fine and carry a + real message. `{}[f"...debug info..."]` — a dict-lookup miss raising a + `KeyError` whose message is exactly the given f-string — is a reliable + way to surface debug values from inside this sandbox without needing + any disallowed name. Worth remembering if a similar issue turns up in a + different `.configure` file. +- **9th issue**: with `configure` now **fully succeeding** (Makefiles, a + Visual Studio solution, and a Clangd backend all generated — a real + milestone), the subsequent `make -j$CPUS` immediately failed with + `*** MSYS make is not supported. Stop.` (from Mozilla's own + `config/baseconfig.mk`) — a deliberate, known check: Mozilla's build + system rejects MSYS's own bundled `make` (known Windows path-handling + incompatibilities between MSYS-style `/c/...` paths and native + `C:\...` paths in GNU Make's dependency tracking) and requires a + MinGW-w64-built `make` instead. Fixed by installing + `pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make` (landed at + `/c/msys64/mingw64/bin/mingw32-make.exe`, GNU Make 4.4.1 "Built for + x86_64-w64-mingw32" — confirmed the right variant despite the legacy + "mingw32" name) and creating a `make.exe` copy *in that same directory* + (same DLL-sibling-dependency reasoning as the Python 3.11 shim earlier — + copying out to an isolated folder would likely break it), then + prioritizing `/c/msys64/mingw64/bin` ahead of `/c/msys64/usr/bin` in + PATH so plain `make` (as `setup.sh` calls it) resolves to this one + instead of MSYS's rejected one. +- Disk space checked: 142GB free on C: before starting. Realistic total + footprint (zip + unpacked source + build objects) estimated at + 10-15GB — not a concern. +- Extracting/deleting the Firefox source tree is itself slow on this + machine — a plain `ls`/`du` over the partially-extracted directory + didn't finish within a 120s tool timeout, and the `rm -rf` cleanup was + run in the background rather than assumed instant. Expect any + filesystem-heavy step over this source tree (extraction, `rm -rf`, + `configure`'s own file scanning) to be slower than on Linux/macOS — + budget real wall-clock time for these, not just the actual compile. +- 4th issue hit: once past the download/extraction (both now confirmed + working and cached — no need to redo them), Mozilla's own `js/src` + `configure` step calls `python3` internally too (a very common Mozilla + build-script convention), hitting the exact same Windows Store + App-Execution-Alias stub as `setup.sh`'s own Poetry install did earlier + — except this one couldn't just be skipped, since it's Mozilla's build + system, not ours. Fixed properly this time (rather than working around + the one call site) by creating a real `python3.exe` — a straight copy of + the working `python.exe` — at `C:\Users\danie\bin\python3.exe`, a + directory already early in PATH (confirmed via + `cmd.exe /c "where python3"` that this resolves before the WindowsApps + alias stub). This should cover any other internal `python3` calls + Mozilla's build makes too, not just the one that surfaced first. +- Also made `setup.sh`'s Firefox-source download/extract step idempotent + (skip entirely if `firefox-source` already exists) — it wasn't safe to + re-run originally (always re-extracted and re-`mv`d, failing with + "Directory not empty" once a prior attempt had already succeeded at that + step), and given how many *unrelated* environment issues we were finding + one at a time, needing a slow re-extract on every single retry would + have been a large, avoidable time cost. +- **ATL/MFC saga (5th issue, took several attempts)**: `configure` reached + much further this time (compiler detection, Windows SDK, Universal CRT + SDK all found correctly, using standalone LLVM's `clang-cl.exe` directly + — see note below) before hitting + `ERROR: Cannot find the ATL/MFC headers`. Three distinct problems + stacked on top of each other before this was actually resolved: + 1. First attempt used the generic/"latest" component aliases + (`Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.ATL` / + `...VC.ATLMFC`) — these exist in the catalog and are real component + IDs, but apparently target a different (likely older, "latest + stable") MSVC toolset than the one actually installed and in use + here (`14.51`, matching the exact toolset version named in the + configure error's own path). Silently no-op'd — installer reported + exit code 0 but never actually installed anything (confirmed: no + `atlmfc` directory appeared). Found the correct, exact, + version-matched IDs (`Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.14.51.ATL` + / `...VC.14.51.MFC`) by grepping the VS Installer's own package + catalog JSON (`C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\_Channels\*\catalog.json`) + for `Component.VC.*ATL`/`MFC` entries — this catalog is the + authoritative source of truth for what component IDs actually exist + for this specific VS release, better than guessing from generic + naming conventions across VS versions. + 2. Retrying with the correct, version-matched IDs still failed + (`ExitCode: 5007`, no clear message) — turned out to be a silly but + real bug in *this session's own* PowerShell command: a stray literal + `"--wait"` string left in the `-ArgumentList` array (confused with + PowerShell's own, separate `-Wait` switch parameter), which + `setup.exe modify` doesn't recognize as a valid option and rejected + the entire command before processing any `--add` components. + 3. With that fixed, still failed (exit code still non-zero) — checked + `vs_installer`'s own detailed log + (`%TEMP%\dd_installer_.log`, much more useful than the + bare exit code) and found the real cause: + `"Commands with --quiet or --passive should be run elevated from the + beginning."` — this automation session isn't running as + Administrator (`[Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal]::IsInRole(...Administrator)` + confirmed `False`), and VS component installs in quiet/passive mode + require real elevation — there's no way around this from an + unelevated process. **Resolved by retrying with + `Start-Process -Verb RunAs`**, which either triggered a UAC prompt + the user approved, or Windows auto-elevated it — either way, this + finally installed successfully and `atlmfc` now exists on disk. + **Side finding worth flagging**: the *original* attempt to install the + "C++ Clang Compiler for Windows" VS component (`VC.Llvm.Clang`, much + earlier in this log) almost certainly hit this exact same silent + elevation failure too (same non-admin session, same quiet-mode + install) — but it didn't matter, because standalone LLVM (installed + separately via `winget install LLVM.LLVM`, a user-level install not + needing elevation) already provides its own fully-functional + `clang-cl.exe`, which is what `configure` is actually finding and using + (confirmed: `checking for the target C compiler... + C:/PROGRA~1/LLVM/bin/clang-cl.exe`, not a path under + `VC\Tools\Llvm\`). The VS-integrated ClangCL component may never have + actually been installed this whole time, without it mattering. diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt index 1577c299..1ef93a07 100644 --- a/CMakeLists.txt +++ b/CMakeLists.txt @@ -30,7 +30,21 @@ if(CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME STREQUAL PROJECT_NAME) include(FetchContent) if (WIN32) - SET(COMPILE_FLAGS "/GR- /W0") + # LOCAL PATCH: pythonmonkey's own compile of its .cc files (and of + # SpiderMonkey's public headers pulled in by them) goes through this + # CMake/clang-cl build directly, not through Mozilla's own moz.build + # system -- which normally defines XP_WIN for every object file it + # compiles.

Written for handover to the +pythonmonkey/dcp team — read this before trusting or shipping the resulting +build. **See the Testing section near the end for exactly what was and +wasn't verified before you rely on this.** + +New engine: `mozjs-157a1.dll`, built from mozilla-central commit +`1704651e7d6c706fcb753adab577e0954d61cee0` (current trunk as of this work, +2026-09-14) — see the "Which commit to target" section below for why this +specific commit and not a numbered Firefox release. + +--- + +## Why + +A security review of what `pip install dcp` actually puts on a machine found +that pythonmonkey embeds `mozjs-136a1.dll` — not a small standalone library, +but a build of SpiderMonkey (Firefox's JS engine) out of a full +`firefox-source` checkout. The `136a1` is Mozilla's own suffix for **Nightly +Alpha 1**, an unstable, pre-release development snapshot, explicitly "not for +general users." That build predates Firefox 136's eventual stable release — +including an emergency out-of-band patch (136.0.4, shipped 2025-03-27) for a +sandbox-escape vulnerability that was being **actively exploited in the wild** +(CVE-2025-2857), and the broader memory-safety fixes in that release cycle +(MFSA 2025-14). + +Checked `pythonmonkey`'s own upstream `main` branch (`git fetch origin`, +compared `mozcentral.version`): it is **also** still pinned to the exact same +`6bca861985ba51920c1cacc21986af01c51bd690` alpha commit as this local clone, +unchanged since at least their last commit. This is not a stale-local-clone +problem — it's what pythonmonkey ships to everyone today. + +## What target was chosen, and why + +This GitHub mirror (`mozilla-firefox/firefox`, what `setup.sh` actually +downloads from) only tracks mozilla-central **trunk** — it has no per-release +tags, only a rolling `last-mozilla-central` tag. There is no way to pin an +exact "Firefox 136.0.4" commit from this specific source. The practical +equivalent is a trunk commit safely after the point those fixes landed (Mozilla +lands security fixes in trunk before or alongside backporting them to release +branches). + +Initially picked a conservative target (~3.5 weeks after 136.0.4's ship date, +April 2025) to minimize source drift from the currently-working alpha. On +reflection (correctly challenged mid-task): that doesn't actually solve the +underlying problem — an 18-months-old-by-now snapshot would *also* read as +"stale, unpatched" to a future reviewer. Since this mirror only ever offers a +trunk snapshot regardless of which commit is picked, there's no "stable +channel" to fall back to either way — so the right choice is the **freshest** +trunk commit, not a stale one. + +**Final target: `1704651e7d6c706fcb753adab577e0954d61cee0`**, dated +2026-09-06 (~1 week before this work started, deliberately not the literal +tip-of-trunk at the moment of picking, to sidestep any short-lived transient +build breakage mozilla-central occasionally has). + +Old pin preserved at `mozcentral.version.orig-backup-136a1` for rollback. + +--- + +## Changes made, in order + +### 1. `mozcentral.version` + +```diff +- 6bca861985ba51920c1cacc21986af01c51bd690 ++ 1704651e7d6c706fcb753adab577e0954d61cee0 +``` + +### 2. `setup.sh` — five fixes, all confirmed necessary by real build failures (not speculative) + +**a. Rust install step made idempotent.** Was unconditional on every run. +Re-running `rustup-init.sh` when Rust is already installed downloads a fresh +installer exe and executes it, which on this Windows machine gets blocked by +Windows Defender ("Permission denied" — see finding 3 below for the pattern). +Skips the whole block if the 1.85 toolchain is already present, matching the +existing pattern right below it (the Poetry-install skip): + +```diff ++ if command -v rustup >/dev/null && rustup toolchain list 2>/dev/null | grep -q '^1\.85'; then ++ echo "Rust 1.85 toolchain already installed, skipping rustup-init" ++ else + echo "Installing rust compiler" + ... + curl ... | sh -s -- -y ... --default-toolchain 1.85 ++ fi + CARGO_BIN="$HOME/.cargo/bin/cargo" +- $CARGO_BIN install cbindgen ++ command -v cbindgen >/dev/null || $CARGO_BIN install cbindgen +``` + +**b. `wget` replaced with `curl` for the Firefox source download.** +`wget.exe` (confirmed both the MSYS2 copy and — implicitly — any copy) is +blocked outright by a **Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) policy** +on this machine: `An Application Control policy has blocked this file`, +confirmed directly via a native PowerShell invocation, not a PATH/permissions +issue. This is new since the original 136a1 build session — nothing in that +session's own log mentions any AppLocker/WDAC block. **This machine's security +posture has tightened since the last build**, plausibly related to DWAN-prep +work happening in parallel — worth flagging to whoever manages this machine's +policy. `curl` (both Windows' own and MSYS2's) is unaffected; `unzip` is also +unaffected. Swapped just the `wget` call: + +```diff +- wget -c -q -O firefox-source-${MOZCENTRAL_VERSION}.zip https://... ++ curl -fsSL -o firefox-source-${MOZCENTRAL_VERSION}.zip https://... +``` + +**c. Removed `--disable-explicit-resource-management` configure flag.** +Worked around Bugzilla 1940342 (a header/lib enum mismatch from when the +`using` JS syntax was newly landing in nightly, circa early 2025). On the new +snapshot this is now an *unrecognized* configure option (`InvalidOptionError: +Unknown option`) — the feature has evidently shipped/stabilized since, taking +the flag (and presumably the underlying bug) with it. Removed rather than +guessing a replacement. + +**d. `MOZILLABUILD` `KeyError` fix reapplied.** This is the *same* fix already +documented in `BUILD_LOG.md`'s "7th issue" from the original build — but that +fix was applied directly to a file *inside* the ephemeral `firefox-source` +checkout, not to this persistent `setup.sh`, so it was lost when +`firefox-source` was deleted and re-fetched for the new commit. Re-applied, +and this time added as a proper `sed` patch in `setup.sh` itself (matching the +existing pattern of the other ~10 patches) so it survives future re-extracts: + +```diff ++ sed -i'' -e 's/os\.environ\["MOZILLABUILD"\]/os.environ.get("MOZILLABUILD", "")/g' ./python/mozbuild/mozbuild/backend/visualstudio.py # LOCAL PATCH: ... +``` + +### 3. Rust toolchain override: 1.85 → `stable` (1.98.1) + +The new mozilla-central snapshot's own `configure` now hard-requires +`rustc >= 1.90.0` (`ERROR: Rust compiler 1.85.1 is too old`) — pythonmonkey's +own 1.85 pin is unrelated to this; it's Mozilla's minimum that moved. Rust's +stable channel (1.98.1) was already installed on this machine from earlier +exploration. Switched pythonmonkey-src's directory-level `rustup override` +from `1.85-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` to `stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, rather +than installing yet another specific pinned version. This relies on Rust's +strong backward-compatibility guarantee (stable code essentially never breaks +on a newer compiler) — **not independently verified against pythonmonkey's +own Rust code specifically**, just against the fact that the build proceeded +past this point without new Rust-level errors. + +``` +rustup override set stable # (run inside pythonmonkey-src) +``` + +The 1.85 toolchain itself was left installed (not removed) — no reason to. + +### 4. `CMakeLists.txt` — `XP_WIN` now defined globally for the Windows build + +```diff + if (WIN32) +- SET(COMPILE_FLAGS "/GR- /W0") ++ SET(COMPILE_FLAGS "/GR- /W0 /DXP_WIN") +``` + +pythonmonkey's own `.cc` files (and the SpiderMonkey public headers they pull +in) are compiled directly by this CMake/clang-cl build, not through Mozilla's +own `moz.build` system — which normally defines `XP_WIN` (Mozilla's standard +"building for Windows" macro) for every object file it compiles itself. +Without it, any SpiderMonkey header that branches on `defined(XP_WIN)` +(assuming, reasonably, that Mozilla's own build always defines it on Windows) +silently takes its POSIX/pthread branch instead — confirmed via a real build +failure: `mozilla/PlatformMutex.h` trying to `#include ` (doesn't +exist for an MSVC/clang-cl target), which cascaded into missing-type errors in +`mozilla/UniquePtrExtensions.h`. One instance of this exact class of bug was +already patched, per-file, in the original build (`BaseProfilerUtils.h`, +`defined(XP_WIN)` → `defined(_WIN32)`, still present as a `setup.sh` sed +patch) — since the newer Mozilla snapshot has apparently grown *more* files +with this pattern, fixing it globally here is more robust than continuing to +patch individual headers as they're discovered. + +### 5. `src/BufferType.cc` — SpiderMonkey internal API adaptation — **NEEDS TEAM REVIEW** + +`JS_GetArrayBufferViewFixedData` no longer exists in the new SpiderMonkey — +not renamed, redesigned. This is the **first non-mechanical fix** in this +whole effort: a real SpiderMonkey-internal-C++-API break requiring judgment +about GC/memory safety, not just an environment/build-tooling issue. + +```diff + bool isSharedMemory; + if (!JS_GetArrayBufferViewBuffer(cx, typedArray, &isSharedMemory)) return nullptr; + +- uint8_t __destBuf[0] = {}; +- uint8_t *data = JS_GetArrayBufferViewFixedData(typedArray, __destBuf, 0); +- if (data == nullptr) { // shared memory or still having inline data ++ if (isSharedMemory) { + PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "PythonMonkey cannot coerce TypedArrays backed by shared memory."); + return nullptr; + } ++ ++ JS::AutoAssertNoGC nogc(cx); // see below re: why AutoAssertNoGC, not the base AutoRequireNoGC ++ bool isSharedMemory2; ++ uint8_t *data = static_cast(JS_GetArrayBufferViewData(typedArray, &isSharedMemory2, nogc)); ++ if (data == nullptr) { ++ PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "PythonMonkey cannot coerce TypedArrays backed by shared memory."); ++ return nullptr; ++ } +``` + +**The reasoning, and exactly what hasn't been verified:** + +The old function's safety contract was: return `nullptr` if the TypedArray's +data is still stored inline (i.e. GC-movable, because it lives inside the +TypedArray object shell rather than a separately-allocated ArrayBuffer). The +new function (`JS_GetArrayBufferViewData`) drops that runtime check entirely +and instead requires a `JS::AutoRequireNoGC` token from the caller. + +**`AutoRequireNoGC` (`js/GCAPI.h`) itself has protected constructor/destructor +— it's a base marker type, not directly instantiable** (confirmed by a real +build error when first tried). Used `JS::AutoAssertNoGC` instead, a public +subclass that — better than a pure marker — actually performs a runtime +assertion in diagnostic builds that no GC occurs while it's alive (a no-op in +release builds, same as the base class would have been). This gives genuine +runtime verification of the safety property in debug/diagnostic builds, not +just a compile-time formality. Even so, this change does **not** mechanically +preserve the *original* function's safety guarantee (which rejected movable +data outright rather than asserting on it) — it relies on reasoning as well +as this assertion: + +The existing `JS_GetArrayBufferViewBuffer()` call, immediately before this, +already exists specifically (per its own original comment, unchanged) to force +any inline/movable TypedArray data to be promoted to a real, stably-allocated +ArrayBuffer first. If that reasoning is correct, the pointer +`JS_GetArrayBufferViewData` returns immediately afterward should already be +backed by stable (non-inline) storage — meaning the specific hazard the old +function's runtime check guarded against should already be closed off before +this new call ever runs, and the `AutoRequireNoGC` token is satisfiable +truthfully rather than just suppressing a compiler complaint. + +**This has NOT been independently verified against SpiderMonkey's actual GC +behavior.** pythonmonkey hands this pointer to Python as a `Py_buffer`, which +Python code can hold onto indefinitely — well past the scope of the local +`nogc` guard. If the reasoning above is wrong in some edge case (e.g. a +TypedArray configuration where `JS_GetArrayBufferViewBuffer`'s promotion +doesn't fully eliminate movability), this would be a real, silent +use-after-free / data-corruption bug, worse than the build simply failing. + +**Recommended before trusting this build for anything beyond +experimentation**: stress-test the TypedArray-to-Python-buffer path +specifically under a compacting/moving GC configuration +(`--enable-gczeal` or equivalent SpiderMonkey debug-build GC-stress mode), +and/or get this specific diff reviewed by someone with real SpiderMonkey GC +internals expertise. Do not ship this change based on this document's +reasoning alone. + +### 6. `include/JobQueue.hh` / `src/JobQueue.cc` — SpiderMonkey API addition, mechanical fix (low risk) + +`JS::JobQueue::getHostDefinedData` (the base class pythonmonkey's `JobQueue` +overrides) gained a second out-parameter, `incumbentGlobal` — previously that +concept was only supplied as an *input* to the separate `enqueuePromiseJob` +method, which pythonmonkey's implementation already ignores entirely (no +incumbent-global tracking at all; jobs are just forwarded to Python's asyncio +event loop). Unlike the `BufferType.cc` fix, **this one is not a judgment +call**: pythonmonkey's existing `getHostDefinedData` already took the "we +don't need this" stance for the original `data` out-param +(`data.set(nullptr); return true;`), so the new `incumbentGlobal` param gets +exactly the same treatment, consistent with the file's own established +pattern rather than inventing new behavior: + +```diff +- bool JobQueue::getHostDefinedData(JSContext *cx, JS::MutableHandle data) const { ++ bool JobQueue::getHostDefinedData(JSContext *cx, JS::MutableHandle incumbentGlobal, JS::MutableHandle data) const { ++ incumbentGlobal.set(nullptr); // We don't need the incumbent global + data.set(nullptr); // We don't need the host defined data + return true; + } +``` + +(Header declaration in `JobQueue.hh` updated to match.) + +--- + +### 7. `include/JobQueue.hh` / `src/JobQueue.cc` / `src/modules/pythonmonkey/pythonmonkey.cc` — SpiderMonkey JobQueue redesign (architecture change — NEEDS REVIEW) + +This is qualitatively different from every fix above it: not a renamed +parameter or a missing macro, but a real redesign of how SpiderMonkey expects +an embedder to receive promise/microtask jobs. Flagged to the team explicitly +before proceeding; the decision (from the project owner) was to keep going and +document it thoroughly rather than stop here. + +**What changed, and how this was confirmed (not guessed):** the build failed +with `error: only virtual member functions can be marked 'override'` on +pythonmonkey's `enqueuePromiseJob` and `empty()` overrides. Reading the new +`JS::JobQueue` base class in full (`js/public/Promise.h`) confirmed both +methods are gone from the interface entirely — not renamed, removed. Two new +pure-virtual methods were added instead: `getHostDefinedGlobal` and (already +present, unrelated) `saveJobQueue`. To understand *why*, and find the +replacement mechanism, traced every call site of `jobQueue->` across all of +`js/src` (7 total, none enqueue-shaped), read Gecko's own real embedding +(`xpcom/base/CycleCollectedJSContext.h/.cpp`) and SpiderMonkey's own reference +embedding (`js/src/vm/JSContext.h`'s `InternalJobQueue`), and finally read +`js/public/friend/MicroTask.h`, which turned out to document the whole new +design inline (see its `[SMDOC]` comment block). + +**The new design, in short:** SpiderMonkey no longer calls out to the embedder +for every job as it's created. Instead it queues jobs itself, internally +(`cx->microTaskQueues`, via `EnqueueJob()` in `js/src/builtin/Promise.cpp`). +The embedder is expected to *pull* jobs from that queue itself, inside its +`JobQueue::runJobs()` override, whenever it wants a "microtask checkpoint" to +happen. That pull is triggered by the embedder calling the free function +`js::RunJobs(cx)` (declared in `jsfriendapi.h`) — note this is **not** the +same thing as the `runJobs()` *method* pythonmonkey overrides, despite the +identical name: `js::RunJobs(cx)` is the public entry point, and its entire +body is `cx->jobQueue->runJobs(cx)` — i.e. it's what *calls* our override. + +Previously, pythonmonkey never needed to call `js::RunJobs(cx)` anywhere, +because `enqueuePromiseJob` forwarded each job to Python's asyncio event loop +the instant SpiderMonkey created it — there was no engine-side queue to drain. +Under the new design, if nothing ever calls `js::RunJobs(cx)`, jobs pile up in +`cx->microTaskQueues` forever and **no promise ever resolves**. So this fix +has two parts: + +**(a) `JobQueue::runJobs()` now does real work** (`src/JobQueue.cc`), instead +of being a no-op. It loops while `JS::HasAnyMicroTasks(cx)`, dequeues each job +via `JS::DequeueNextMicroTask` + `JS::ToMaybeWrappedJSMicroTask`, and forwards +it to the Python event loop — recreating what `enqueuePromiseJob` used to do +per-job, just pull-based now instead of push-based: + +```diff +- void JobQueue::runJobs(JSContext *cx) { +- // Do nothing +- } ++ void JobQueue::runJobs(JSContext *cx) { ++ while (JS::HasAnyMicroTasks(cx)) { ++ JS::RootedValue entry(cx, JS::DequeueNextMicroTask(cx)); ++ if (entry.isNull()) break; ++ JS::Rooted job(cx, JS::ToMaybeWrappedJSMicroTask(entry)); ++ if (!job) continue; ++ auto *rootedJob = new JS::PersistentRooted(cx, job); ++ // ... pack (cx, rootedJob) into a PyCFunction closure, enqueue it on ++ // the running Python event-loop (see runMicroTaskCallback), same as ++ // enqueuePromiseJob's loop.enqueue(callback) did before. ++ } ++ } +``` + +One real difference from the old `enqueuePromiseJob`: `job` there was a +`JS::HandleObject` documented as an ECMA-262 Job (i.e. a plain callable +function with no arguments), which pythonmonkey converted straight to a +Python callable via `pyTypeFactory(cx, jobv)` and handed to Python. The new +`JS::JSMicroTask*` is **not** a generically-callable function — it's an opaque +engine-internal representation that must be executed specifically via +`JS::RunJSMicroTask(cx, job)`, inside `AutoRealm`d to +`JS::GetExecutionGlobalFromJSMicroTask(job)` (this exact usage pattern is +documented in the `[SMDOC]` block at the top of `js/public/friend/MicroTask.h` +— not improvised). So instead of reusing `pyTypeFactory` to wrap `job` +itself, a new small native PyCFunction (`runMicroTaskCallback`) was added, +modelled directly on the existing `dispatchToEventLoop`/`callDispatchFunc` +pattern already in this same file (which smuggles a `(JSContext*, +JS::Dispatchable*)` pair through a Python closure the same way) — packs +`(cx, rootedJob)` as a 2-tuple, and when Python's loop finally calls it, calls +`JS::RunJSMicroTask` and reports failure via the existing +`setSpiderMonkeyException(cx)` helper (same one used throughout +`pythonmonkey.cc`). + +`JS::JSMicroTask` is a type alias for plain `JSObject` (confirmed directly in +`MicroTask.h`: `using JSMicroTask = JSObject;`), so it can be kept alive +across the gap between "dequeued here" and "Python's event loop calls back, +possibly much later" the same way pythonmonkey already keeps +FinalizationRegistry callbacks alive elsewhere in this file: a heap-allocated +`JS::PersistentRooted`, freed once the callback actually runs. + +**(b) `pythonmonkey.cc` now calls `js::RunJobs(GLOBAL_CX)`** once, immediately +after every top-level `JS_ExecuteScript()` call — the natural equivalent of +the HTML spec's "clean up after running script" microtask checkpoint, and (as +far as could be found) the only place in pythonmonkey's own source that a +checkpoint like this was ever implicitly happening before (via the old +immediate-forwarding design). + +**`getHostDefinedGlobal`** (the other new pure-virtual method) was given the +same "we don't track this" stance pythonmonkey already takes for +`getHostDefinedData`'s params — `out.set(nullptr); return true;` — which +matches SpiderMonkey's own reference embedding +(`InternalJobQueue::getHostDefinedGlobal` in `js/src/vm/JSContext.cpp`) +exactly, so this part is low-risk / pattern-consistent rather than a guess. + +**NEEDS REVIEW — this is the least-verified change in this entire document, +more so than the `BufferType.cc` GC fix:** +- Whether draining exactly once per `JS_ExecuteScript()` call is the *right* + cadence for this embedding (vs., say, needing a checkpoint after every + re-entry into JS, or after every Python-side `await` of a JS promise) has + not been verified against real async/await interop test cases — only + against "does it compile and does the basic shape make sense." +- GC-safety of holding a `JS::PersistentRooted` across an + arbitrary, unbounded real-world delay (Python's event loop may not run the + callback for a while) is modelled on the pre-existing, working + `finalizationRegistryCallbacks` pattern in this same file, but has not been + independently confirmed for `JSMicroTask` objects specifically. +- The ordering/interleaving semantics (does a JS promise chain still resolve + in the same relative order it used to, now that jobs are batch-pulled per + checkpoint instead of pushed one at a time?) has not been tested. +- **Before trusting this for anything beyond experimentation**: write and run + a test that chains multiple `await`s across the Python/JS boundary + (`pm.eval` returning a Promise that resolves another Promise, etc.) and + confirms both completion and ordering, not just successful compilation. + +**UPDATE — this was tested, and the concern above was real.** Once the build +first succeeded (fix #10 below), a smoke test awaiting even a single, +already-resolved JS Promise from Python hung indefinitely. Root cause: the +one `js::RunJobs(GLOBAL_CX)` call added above (after `JS_ExecuteScript`) +only checkpoints the *first* batch of jobs created during top-level script +execution. It does not cover the other two places jobs get freshly enqueued +into `cx->microTaskQueues`, both entirely outside of any `JS_ExecuteScript` +call: + +1. **`PromiseType::getPyObject`** (`src/PromiseType.cc`) — called when Python + code `await`s a JS Promise. `JS::AddPromiseReactions` attaches a reaction + callback; if the promise is already settled (the common case for a + same-tick resolution), this immediately enqueues a job that nothing was + draining. +2. **`futureOnDoneCallback`** (`src/PromiseType.cc`) — called from a Python + `asyncio.Future`'s done-callback (i.e. from Python's event loop, not from + JS at all) to resolve/reject a JS Promise that JS was awaiting on a Python + awaitable. `JS::ResolvePromise`/`JS::RejectPromise` here can trigger that + promise's own already-attached reactions, again with nothing draining them. +3. **`runMicroTaskCallback`** (`src/JobQueue.cc`, part of this same fix #7) — + running one microtask (e.g. one `await` in a chain) can enqueue the next + one; the callback returned without re-checkpointing, so a promise chain + with more than one `await` stalled after the first hop even once (1) and + (2) were fixed. + +Fixed by adding `js::RunJobs(cx)` at all three points — mechanical once the +pattern was identified (same call used above), but finding *where* it was +missing required actually running async code, not just getting a clean +compile. **This is the concrete confirmation that "compiles" and "works" are +different claims for this whole JobQueue rewrite** — treat any other +not-yet-exercised code path in this rewrite (the debug queue, +`saveJobQueue`/`SavedJobQueue` used by the Debugger API, `isDrainingStopped`) +with the same suspicion until it's actually been run. + +Retested after this fix: a single `await` of an already-resolved Promise, a +two-hop `await` chain inside an async function (verifying both completion +*and* ordering), and a `setTimeout`-based Promise (exercising the unrelated, +pre-existing `PyEventLoop::enqueueWithDelay` timer path) — see the Testing +section near the end of this document for exact results. + +### 8. `src/JobQueue.cc` — `mozilla::Unused` / `mozilla/Unused.h` removed upstream, mechanical fix (low risk) + +Next build error after fix #7: `fatal error: 'mozilla/Unused.h' file not found`. +Confirmed this isn't a path/environment issue — the header (and the +`mozilla::Unused` helper it declared) is genuinely gone from the current +mozilla-central snapshot's `mfbt/` directory, not just moved (checked: absent +from `mfbt/`, and grepping `dom/`, `xpcom/base/`, `js/src/vm/` for +`mozilla::Unused` turns up zero uses anywhere in current upstream code, +confirming it's been fully purged, not merely renamed). The old header +(preserved at +`_spidermonkey_install.orig-136a1-backup/include/mozjs-136a1/mozilla/Unused.h` +from the previous build) shows `Unused << expr` was only ever a thin +"suppress unused-nodiscard-return-value warning" helper +(`template void operator<<(const T&) const {}`) — functionally identical +to a plain `(void)expr;` cast. Two use sites in `JobQueue.cc` (the only file +in this codebase that used it) were switched to that, and the now-dead +`#include ` removed: + +```diff +- mozilla::Unused << finalizationRegistryCallbacks->append(callback); ++ (void)finalizationRegistryCallbacks->append(callback); +... +- mozilla::Unused << JS_CallFunction(cx, NULL, func, JS::HandleValueArray::empty(), &unused_rval); ++ (void)JS_CallFunction(cx, NULL, func, JS::HandleValueArray::empty(), &unused_rval); +``` + +### 9. `include/JobQueue.hh` / `src/JobQueue.cc` — off-thread dispatch API redesign (moderate risk) + +Next build errors after fix #8, all in the same area: `JS::InitDispatchToEventLoop` +no longer exists ("did you mean 'dispatchToEventLoop'?"); a 3-argument call +where only 2 are now expected; and `'run' is a protected member of +'JS::Dispatchable'`. Read the current `js/public/Promise.h` (lines 622-817) in +full to understand the new shape rather than guessing from the error text +alone. + +**What changed:** +- `JS::InitDispatchToEventLoop(cx, callback, closure)` → replaced by + `JS::InitAsyncTaskCallbacks(cx, dispatchCallback, delayedDispatchCallback, + asyncTaskStartedCallback, asyncTaskFinishedCallback, closure)`. The first + two callbacks are now both mandatory (previously only one existed at all); + the last two are optional (`nullptr` accepted). +- `DispatchToEventLoopCallback`'s signature changed from taking a raw + `JS::Dispatchable*` to taking ownership via `js::UniquePtr&&`. +- `Dispatchable::run()` is now `protected`. The new public entry point is the + static `Dispatchable::Run(JSContext*, js::UniquePtr&&, + MaybeShuttingDown)`, which takes ownership and is responsible for both + calling `run()` and cleaning up. +- A brand new, previously-nonexistent-for-this-embedding + `DelayedDispatchToEventLoopCallback` is now mandatory too. + +**Fix, in `src/JobQueue.cc`:** + +```diff +- JS::InitDispatchToEventLoop(cx, dispatchToEventLoop, cx); ++ JS::InitAsyncTaskCallbacks(cx, dispatchToEventLoop, delayedDispatchToEventLoop, nullptr, nullptr, cx); +``` + +`dispatchToEventLoop` itself: the raw `Dispatchable*` this used to smuggle +through a Python closure (packed as a `PyLong` pointer, same trick used +elsewhere in this file for the microtask fix in #7) is now obtained via +`dispatchable.release()` before packing, and reconstructed with +`js::UniquePtr(dispatchable)` on the other side, then run +via `JS::Dispatchable::Run(cx, ..., JS::Dispatchable::NotShuttingDown)` +instead of the old direct `dispatchable->run(cx, ...)` call — mechanical +translation of the ownership-transfer model, not a judgment call. + +**`delayedDispatchToEventLoop` — NEEDS REVIEW, the one genuine judgment call +in this fix:** this embedding has no existing mechanism for scheduling a +callback *safely from an arbitrary SpiderMonkey helper thread* with a delay. +`PyEventLoop::enqueueWithDelay` exists and is used elsewhere (JS +`setTimeout`), but it calls `asyncio.loop.call_later`, which — unlike +`call_soon_threadsafe` (used by `PyEventLoop::enqueue`, and safe from any +thread) — is not documented as callable from a thread other than the one +running the loop. Since `DelayedDispatchToEventLoopCallback` is explicitly +documented as needing to be safe from any thread, reusing `enqueueWithDelay` +directly would be a plausible new thread-safety bug, not a fix. + +Instead, this implementation always returns `false`, which +`js/public/Promise.h` explicitly sanctions: *"If a timeout manager is not +available for given context, it should return false."* + +**Correction made during this fix, left visible because the first instinct +was wrong and it's a useful lesson for reviewers:** the first attempt had +this call `dispatchable.release()` then `task->transferToRuntime()` directly, +based on a doc comment on `Dispatchable::transferToRuntime()` showing that +exact usage pattern. That failed to compile — `transferToRuntime()` is +`protected`, so an embedder callback has no access to it (the doc comment +describes SpiderMonkey's *own* internal usage, not the embedder-facing API). +The actually-correct, embedder-facing call was found by reading real +production code instead of inferring from a header comment: Gecko's own +`dom/workers/RuntimeService.cpp` (`JSDispatchableRunnable::PostDispatch`) +handles exactly this "took ownership, failed/declined to dispatch" case with +the public static `JS::Dispatchable::ReleaseFailedTask(std::move(task))`, +which is what this fix now uses. + +**Risk assessment**: this should only affect internal SpiderMonkey features +that specifically need an off-thread *delayed* dispatch (the header mentions +`Atomics.waitAsync` timeouts as an example). Ordinary JS `setTimeout` / +`setInterval` go through a separate, unaffected, already-working path +(pythonmonkey's own JS-exposed timer functions calling +`PyEventLoop::enqueueWithDelay` directly, on the main thread). **Not verified +against a real `Atomics.waitAsync`-with-timeout test case** — if this +embedding's use cases ever depend on that specific feature, this will need +a real timeout-manager implementation instead of the `false` stub. + +### 10. `src/modules/pythonmonkey/pythonmonkey.cc` — asm.js support removed, mechanical fix (low risk) + +Next build error after fix #9 (and the first one outside `JobQueue.cc`/`.hh`): +`error: no member named 'setAsmJS' in 'JS::ContextOptions'`. Confirmed via +`js/public/ContextOptions.h` that no asm.js-related member exists on +`ContextOptions` anymore at all — not renamed, removed. asm.js was a +pre-WebAssembly, Firefox-specific JS-subset compilation target; WebAssembly +(enabled separately via the still-present `.setWasm(true)`, unaffected by +this) has long since superseded it upstream. Simply deleted the +`.setAsmJS(true)` call in the `ContextOptionsRef` chaining call during +context setup — nothing to replace it with, since the feature itself is gone, +not relocated. + +--- + +## Testing — what was actually run, and what it showed + +Ten build errors were fixed in total (sections 1-10 above), each one a real +SpiderMonkey-internal API break between the old `136a1` nightly-alpha build +and current mozilla-central — none were environment/tooling issues by this +point (those were resolved earlier, before section 1). The build finally +succeeded (`pythonmonkey.pyd` + `mozjs-157a1.dll`, `BUILD_EXIT_CODE=0`). + +After that, four rounds of runtime verification were run (not just "it +compiles"): + +1. **Basic eval**: `pm.eval('1 + 2')`, `pm.eval('JSON.stringify(...)')` — + passed. +2. **`SharedArrayBuffer`/`Atomics`** — the original, one-line motivating fix + for this entire rebuild (a completely separate, older issue from + everything in this document). Verified still working: + `Atomics.store`/`Atomics.load` round-trip through a `SharedArrayBuffer` + returned the correct value. +3. **Async/Promise interop across the Python/JS boundary** — this is where + real bugs actually turned up (see the "UPDATE" note under fix #7 above for + the full story: a single `await` of a JS Promise hung indefinitely on the + first attempt, root-caused to `js::RunJobs(cx)` only being called from one + of the three places new jobs actually get enqueued). After fixing all + three call sites, verified: a single `await` of an already-resolved JS + Promise; a two-`await` chain inside a JS async function, checking both + completion *and* correct ordering (`[1, 3, 5]`, not e.g. `[1, 5, 3]`); and + a `setTimeout`-based Promise (exercising the separate, pre-existing + `PyEventLoop::enqueueWithDelay` timer path, unaffected by the JobQueue + rewrite). All passed, repeatably, on a final clean rebuild after removing + temporary debug tracing used to diagnose the hang. +4. **The real `localExec()` test suite**, run end-to-end against the new + engine, exactly as originally planned: + - `dcp_local_job_test.py` — a real job (`dcp.compute_for` over 8 letters, + uppercasing work function), through the full `localExec()` pipeline + (readystate transitions, identity loading from a real `id.keystore`, + job deployment, slice completion, result collection). **Passed** — + correct output `YELLING!`. + - `pycomod_localexec_test.py` — a much heavier stress test: real + filesystem shipping (`job.fs.add`) of a local Python package into the + sandbox, extra declared Pyodide modules (`pandas` on top of the usual + `numpy`/`cloudpickle`), extra work-function arguments flowing through + `job.jobArguments`, and — importantly — non-primitive slice results + (nested dicts of numpy arrays), which exercises cloudpickle's real + serialization round-trip rather than the primitive fast path. **Passed** + — all 5 slices completed with correct structure and correct numeric + values (spot-checked a sample series: `values[:5] = [25. 25. 25. 25. + 25.]`, `dtype=float32`, as expected for this model). + +## Not yet done / open as of this writing + +- **Not independently verified**: `Atomics.waitAsync` with a real timeout + (the `delayedDispatchToEventLoop` stub in fix #9 always declines these — + see that section's risk assessment). Only relevant if something in this + codebase's dependency tree actually uses that specific API; not exercised + by either test suite above. +- **Not independently verified**: the Debugger-API-facing parts of the + JobQueue rewrite (`saveJobQueue`/`SavedJobQueue`, `isDrainingStopped`, + the debug microtask queue via `useDebugQueue`) — pythonmonkey doesn't + currently expose SpiderMonkey's Debugger API to Python, so these paths + are believed unreachable in normal use, but that belief hasn't been + tested against actually invoking the Debugger API. +- **Not independently verified**: the `BufferType.cc` GC-safety reasoning + (fix #5, `JS_GetArrayBufferViewFixedData` → `JS_GetArrayBufferViewData` + + `AutoAssertNoGC`) — this needs either a compacting/moving-GC stress test + (`--enable-gczeal` or equivalent) or review by someone with real + SpiderMonkey GC internals expertise before being trusted beyond + experimentation. Both test suites above exercise TypedArray/buffer code + paths incidentally (numpy arrays flow through cloudpickle, not directly + through this code path) but do not specifically stress-test this. +- **Not run**: any long-running / soak test. Everything above is a single + run of each script; no repeated-execution, memory-leak, or + long-session-stability testing has been done. The heap-allocated + `JS::PersistentRooted` objects created per-microtask in fix #7 + (`JobQueue::runJobs`) are freed on the happy path (`runMicroTaskCallback`) + but **not** on at least one error path worth double-checking before a + soak test: if `PyEventLoop::getRunningLoop()` fails inside + `JobQueue::runJobs` after a `rootedJob` has been allocated, it is deleted + correctly (see that code) — but this exact path has not been exercised + by any test above, since the running loop was always available. +- **Not reviewed by anyone else.** Every fix in this document was made by + one engineer (with AI pair-programming assistance) working from primary + sources (the actual SpiderMonkey headers and, where embedder-facing + behavior was unclear, real production usage in Gecko's own source) rather + than guessing, and where a first attempt was wrong (see fix #9's + `transferToRuntime`/`ReleaseFailedTask` correction, and fix #7's + three-checkpoint hang), that's recorded rather than smoothed over — but + none of it has had a second, independent pair of eyes. Recommended before + shipping this beyond internal experimentation: a real code review of + sections 5, 7, and 9 in particular (the three sections marked NEEDS + REVIEW / moderate-or-higher risk above), ideally by someone with prior + SpiderMonkey embedding experience. +- The old `136a1` install and DLL were preserved as `*.orig-136a1-backup` / + `*.orig-backup` throughout this work (see individual sections above) — + don't delete these until the team has independently confirmed the new + build in their own environment, not just this one. diff --git a/include/JobQueue.hh b/include/JobQueue.hh index 36734f92..f870f026 100644 --- a/include/JobQueue.hh +++ b/include/JobQueue.hh @@ -49,43 +49,53 @@ bool init(JSContext *cx); * If any error happens while generating the host defined data, this method * should set a pending exception to `cx` and return `false`. */ -bool getHostDefinedData(JSContext *cx, JS::MutableHandle data) const override; +bool getHostDefinedData(JSContext *cx, JS::MutableHandle incumbentGlobal, JS::MutableHandle data) const override; /** - * @brief Enqueue a reaction job `job` for `promise`, which was allocated at - * `allocationSite`.

Redeploying the real build and retesting surfaced a genuine hang: JSFunctionProxy_call and JSMethodProxy_call (src/JSFunctionProxy.cc, src/JSMethodProxy.cc) are the generic entry points Python uses to call back into any JS function/method it holds - e.g. a setTimeout callback dispatched from PyEventLoop - and neither drained the job queue after invoking the callback. This is a 4th checkpoint site the previous commit's JobQueue rewrite missed, alongside the three it already found (JobQueue::runJobs, PromiseType::getPyObject, futureOnDoneCallback). Fixed the same way: js::RunJobs(cx) right after the JS_CallFunctionValue call in both files. Also: - setup.sh: restore POETRY_BIN (made idempotent, like the existing rustup check) instead of deleting it outright. The previous commit dropped it reasoning it was unused outside the build, but the .git/hooks/pre-commit dev-tooling branch further down still calls "$POETRY_BIN run pip install autopep8", which would have broken silently for any clone that takes that branch. Fixes the actual problem that motivated the removal instead (no python3 on PATH on this machine, only python). - Remove BUILD_LOG.md, added by the previous commit but describing unrelated sessions (an earlier one-line SharedArrayBuffer fix against the old engine, and separate WebSocket-module work) rather than this rebuild. - SPIDERMONKEY_VERSION_BUMP.md: document the above, correct the Testing section's now-inaccurate "all passed" claims, and note the fix and full retest results (all four end-to-end tests - async unit tests, dcp_local_job_test.py, pycomod_localexec_test.py, dcp_real_exec_test.py - now pass against the actual rebuilt pythonmonkey.pyd).

Will need - `rustup override set 1.85` (or `+1.85` per-command) inside the - pythonmonkey repo checkout so its build actually uses 1.85, not the - 1.98.1 default. -- [x] cbindgen installed via `cargo install cbindgen`. -- [x] "C++ Clang Compiler for Windows" VS component - (`Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Llvm.Clang`) added to the - existing VS Build Tools 2026 install via - `vs_installer.exe modify --add ...` — this is what CMake's - `-T ClangCL` toolset (used by `build.py` on Windows) actually needs; - a standalone `winget install LLVM.LLVM` alone would NOT have - provided this VS-integrated toolset. -- [~] LLVM.LLVM (standalone command-line clang) — install kicked off via - winget, still running as of this log entry. Not certain yet whether - this is even needed in addition to the VS ClangCL component above - (setup.sh's own `clang --print-target-triple` call wants a `clang` - on PATH — the VS component may or may not add a plain `clang.exe` to - PATH by itself, so keeping this standalone install as a safety net). -- [~] MSYS2 packages (`m4 unzip wget curl base-devel`) — install kicked - off via `pacman -S`, still running as of this log entry. -- [ ] Poetry 1.7.1 + poetry-dynamic-versioning — **currently believed - unnecessary**. Found that `build.py` (the actual build driver) is a - plain, directly-runnable Python script (`python build.py`) — Poetry - is only the conventional wrapper (`poetry build` invokes this as a - custom build-backend script), not a hard requirement. `build.py` - itself calls `bash ./setup.sh` (if `_spidermonkey_install/lib` - doesn't already exist) then does the CMake build then copies - `pythonmonkey.pyd`/`mozjs-*.dll` into `python/pythonmonkey/`. Plan: - skip Poetry entirely, run `python build.py` directly, then manually - copy the two output files into the already-installed `dcp` package's - `site-packages/pythonmonkey/` — no full `pip install`/wheel-build - round-trip needed for what we're trying to confirm. -- [x] `mozcentral.version` checked: pinned Firefox commit is - `6bca861985ba51920c1cacc21986af01c51bd690`. Not yet checked exact - download size, but full mozilla-firefox source archives are - routinely several hundred MB compressed / multiple GB uncompressed — - expect this step alone to take a while depending on network speed. -- [x] **`setup.sh` fully succeeded — SpiderMonkey itself is built and - installed** to `_spidermonkey_install/lib` (confirmed: `build.py`'s - `ensure_spidermonkey()`, which checks for exactly that directory - before deciding whether to (re)run `setup.sh`, is no longer being - re-entered — `build.py` now proceeds straight to `run_cmake_build()` - on every rerun). This took 9 rounds of Windows-environment fixes - (see "Notes as we go" below for the full trail): OSTYPE detection, - `python3` shim (twice, for two different tools), idempotent - extraction, ATL/MFC components (three sub-issues), Python 3.11 for - Mozilla's own build tooling, a real bug in mozbuild's `shellutil.py` - plus a self-inflicted `MOZILLABUILD` env var issue, and finally a - MinGW-w64 `make` requirement. None of the fixes needed were related - to the actual one-line pythonmonkey change — all Windows/environment - friction from running Mozilla's Linux/macOS-first build tooling - without the official "MozillaBuild" package. -- [~] `run_cmake_build()` (the second, separate build stage — compiling - pythonmonkey's own C++ extension via CMake's `-T ClangCL` toolset, - distinct from SpiderMonkey's own `make`-based build above) — in - progress. First attempt failed with `MSB8020: The build tools for - ClangCL ... cannot be found` — confirmed the earlier, non-elevated - "C++ Clang Compiler for Windows" VS component install attempt - (way back near the start of this log) never actually took effect, - for the same silent-elevation reason later diagnosed for ATL/MFC. - Fixed the same way: `Start-Process -Verb RunAs` — confirmed this - time via `VC\Tools\Llvm\x64` actually existing on disk afterward. -- [ ] One-line fix applied to `pythonmonkey.cc` — not yet applied. Plan: - apply it **before** the first full build (not after), since - `ensure_spidermonkey()` only skips the *SpiderMonkey* build on - re-runs, and the CMake/`pythonmonkey.cc` compile step is fast - regardless — no benefit to building once without the fix first. -- [ ] Built `.pyd`/`.dll` copied into the installed `dcp` package's - pythonmonkey (`C:\Users\danie\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python314\site-packages\pythonmonkey\`, - replacing the existing `pythonmonkey.pyd` and `mozjs-136a1.dll`) and - confirmed `SharedArrayBuffer`/`Atomics` become defined (rerun the - isolated `sab_check.py`-style probe from `localexec_patch/STATUS.md`'s - "Pyodide / shared memory" section before attempting the full job - test, to fail fast if the engine build itself didn't take). -- [ ] Pyodide work-function test (`dcp_local_job_test.py`) re-run to - confirm the actual fix resolves the original blocker end-to-end. - -## Notes as we go - -- [x] Backed up the currently-installed, working `pythonmonkey.pyd` and - `mozjs-136a1.dll` from site-packages to `*.orig-backup` alongside them — - if this build goes sideways, the JS-work-function success from earlier - this session stays reproducible without a rebuild. -- [x] One-line fix applied to `src/modules/pythonmonkey/pythonmonkey.cc` - (confirmed exact location by reading it, matches what GitHub showed): - added `creationOptions.setSharedMemoryAndAtomicsEnabled(true);` right - after `JS::RealmCreationOptions creationOptions = JS::RealmCreationOptions();` - (line ~596). -- **Hit and fixed 3 Windows-specific `setup.sh` issues, none related to - the actual fix, all local/environmental**: - 1. `$OSTYPE` on this machine (both Git Bash and MSYS2's bash, invoked - via `subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True)` → `cmd.exe /c bash ...`) - reports `"cygwin"`, not `"msys"*` as the script's Windows-detection - assumes (likely an `MSYSTEM` env var difference from not going - through MSYS2's normal launcher). Fixed by patching all 5 `"msys"*` - checks in `setup.sh` to also accept `"cygwin"*` (backed up as - `setup.sh.orig-backup`). - 2. The script's own Poetry install (`curl ... | python3 - --version - 1.7.1`) calls `python3` specifically, which doesn't exist on this - machine (only `python`) — `python3` is a Windows App Execution Alias - stub that just prints a Microsoft Store prompt and exits non-zero. - Confirmed Poetry is only actually *used* later in a - `.git/hooks/pre-commit`-gated dev-tooling branch that doesn't apply - to our shallow clone — skipped the whole Poetry install block. - 3. **A real stall, not a fast failure**: the first `wget -c` download of - the Firefox source zip appeared to hang indefinitely — file size - stopped growing (stuck at exactly 1,149,034,545 bytes) for 19+ - minutes, with the `bash ./setup.sh` process still alive/responding - but with **zero child processes** (confirmed via - `Get-CimInstance Win32_Process` walking the actual process tree: - `python.exe` → `cmd.exe /c "bash ./setup.sh"` → `bash.exe`, no wget - anywhere in the whole system). Killed the process tree (`TaskStop` on - the tracked background task) and relaunched — `wget -c`'s resume - support meant no data was lost. On relaunch, the download actually - turned out to have already fully completed (reached "Done downloading - spidermonkey source code" — so 1.1GB compressed is apparently the - real final size of this pinned Firefox source snapshot, not a partial - download after all; the first run's *true* problem is unconfirmed — - could have been a slow/stalled final TCP segment, unclear). This - surfaced a **second** problem: `unzip`, run non-interactively via - Python's `subprocess.Popen` (no attached stdin), hit a - `replace .../.arcconfig? [y/n/A/N/r]` conflict prompt against files - left over from the first (killed) run's partial extraction, got EOF - on stdin, defaulted to "[N]one" (skip all conflicts), and the - subsequent `mv firefox- firefox-source` step then failed to find - a directory to rename (exact mechanism of why unzip "succeeded" - despite skipping everything not fully confirmed, but the practical - fix was simple). Fixed by `rm -rf`-ing both the partial - `firefox-` and `firefox-source` directories and rerunning — the - zip itself didn't need to be re-fetched. **Lesson for next time**: if - a `setup.sh` run gets killed partway through unzip, always clean up - the extraction directories before rerunning, not just check the zip. -- **The flagged Python-version risk was real (6th issue)**: once past ATL/MFC, - `configure` got into Mozilla's own `mozbuild` frontend (parsing - `moz.build`/`.mozbuild` template files) and hit - `AttributeError: module 'ast' has no attribute 'Str'` — `ast.Str` (and - `Num`/`Bytes`/`NameConstant`/`Ellipsis`) were deprecated in Python 3.8 - and fully removed in 3.12; this machine's `python3` shim pointed at - 3.14.7. Fixed by installing Python 3.11.9 (`winget install - Python.Python.3.11`, landed at - `C:\Users\danie\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311`) and pointing - the `python3` shim at it instead. Note: a plain file-copy shim (which - worked fine for 3.14) did **not** work for 3.11 — it errored with a - missing `api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll`, because standalone `python.exe` - depends on sibling DLLs in its own install directory. Fixed by creating - the `python3.exe` copy *inside* the Python311 directory itself (next to - its dependencies) and adding that directory to PATH, rather than copying - the exe out to an isolated directory like the working 3.14 shim did. - Also had to delete Mozilla's own cached build virtualenv - (`~/.mozbuild/srcdirs/firefox-source-/_virtualenvs`), since - `configure` had already created and permanently bound one to the old - 3.14 interpreter on an earlier run — simply changing the shim wasn't - enough on its own. -- 7th issue, minor, **later found to be a red herring caused by its own - band-aid fix (see 8th issue)**: past the Python version fix, hit - `KeyError: 'MOZILLABUILD'` from mozbuild's Visual-Studio-project-file - generation backend (`visualstudio.py`'s `_write_mach_batch`, an optional - convenience feature for launching `mach` from within the VS IDE — not - needed for our command-line-only build) doing an unguarded - `os.environ["MOZILLABUILD"]` lookup to check for an `msys2` - subdirectory. First fix attempt: just set `MOZILLABUILD=/c/msys64` (the - code only calls `.exists()` on the derived path, so it seemed like it - just needed the env var to exist at all) — **this was wrong and caused - the 8th issue below**; properly fixed there instead by guarding the - `os.environ[...]` lookups with `.get(...)` and removing the env var. -- **8th issue: `config_sub(shell, target)` in - `build/moz.configure/init.configure`** (line ~632) crashed with - `TypeError: NoneType takes no arguments` inside mozbuild's own - `shellutil._quote()` (`type(None)("'%s'")` — a type-preserving quoting - idiom that assumes its input is `str`/`bytes`/`int`, breaks on `None`). - Patched `shellutil.py`'s `_quote()` to special-case `None` (it's only - used to format a human-readable `log.debug("Executing: ...")` line, not - the actual command execution). That unmasked the real underlying issue - one level up: `check_cmd_output(shell, config_sub, triplet)` itself - passing `shell=None` into `subprocess.Popen`. - **Debugging this required discovering how restrictive `.configure` - files' execution sandbox actually is** (Mozilla's own DSL for these - files runs them with a heavily curated set of allowed names, presumably - to keep the config-dependency graph fully static/analyzable): plain - `import` statements are forbidden (`ImportError: Importing modules is - forbidden`), so is calling bare `print(...)` (`NameError: name 'print' - is not defined`), and even referencing the builtin `Exception` class by - name is unavailable (`NameError: name 'Exception' is not defined`) — - but *interpreter-raised* errors (from actually executing an operation - that fails, like an out-of-range index or a missing dict key) work fine - and carry a real message. Landed on `{}[f"...debug info..."]` — a - dict-lookup miss that raises a `KeyError` whose message is exactly the - f-string given — as a reliable way to surface debug values from inside - this sandbox without needing any disallowed name. This confirmed - `shell=None` specifically (the target-shell `@depends` value), while - `config_sub` (the file path) and `triplet` were both fine. - **Turned out to be self-inflicted by the 7th issue's own fix**: patching - just this one call site (`if shell is None: shell = ".../sh.exe"`) let - the build get further, but the exact same `shell=None` failure then - resurfaced in a *different* function - (`mozillabuild_bin_paths` → `os.path.dirname(shell)` → - `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'`) — - a strong sign the real bug lived one level up, in whatever produces - `shell` in the first place, not in each individual consumer. Read - `shell`'s own `@depends("CONFIG_SHELL", "MOZILLABUILD")` definition - (`init.configure` line ~137) and found it: `MOZILLABUILD=/c/msys64` - (set for the 7th issue above) gets read here too, and this function - tries `mozillabuild[0] + "/msys2/usr/bin/sh"` or `.../msys/bin/sh` - depending on whether an `msys2` subfolder exists directly under - `MOZILLABUILD` — a directory layout specific to the *official Mozilla - Build* package (which nests a nested "msys2" folder inside itself), not - our plain MSYS2 install (`C:\msys64`, no nested "msys2" folder, and - using `usr/bin` not `msys/bin` anyway). Neither guessed path exists, so - `find_program()` silently returned `None` instead of falling through to - the correct, simpler default (bare `"sh"`, resolved via a normal PATH - search, which would have found MSYS2's real `sh.exe` immediately). - **Properly fixed**: reverted the band-aid in `config_sub()`, stopped - setting `MOZILLABUILD` to a fake/misleading path entirely, and instead - fixed the two *actual* `os.environ["MOZILLABUILD"]` call sites in - `visualstudio.py` to use `.get("MOZILLABUILD")` with a `None`-safe - check. This is the real fix for the 7th issue too — no env var needed at - all, just don't crash on it being absent. - **Lesson reinforced**: prefer fixing the actual root `@depends` - definition (or, here, the actual root *cause* one level further back) - over patching individual call sites one at a time — the first - `config_sub()` patch looked like a fix but was really just relocating - the same underlying problem to its next consumer. - **Debugging technique note**: getting to this point required discovering - how restrictive `.configure` files' execution sandbox is (Mozilla's own - DSL for these files runs with a heavily curated set of allowed names, - presumably to keep the config-dependency graph fully static/analyzable): - plain `import` statements are forbidden (`ImportError: Importing modules - is forbidden`), so is calling bare `print(...)` (`NameError: name - 'print' is not defined`), and even referencing the builtin `Exception` - class by name is unavailable (`NameError: name 'Exception' is not - defined`) — but *interpreter-raised* errors (from actually executing an - operation that fails, like a missing dict key) work fine and carry a - real message. `{}[f"...debug info..."]` — a dict-lookup miss raising a - `KeyError` whose message is exactly the given f-string — is a reliable - way to surface debug values from inside this sandbox without needing - any disallowed name. Worth remembering if a similar issue turns up in a - different `.configure` file. -- **9th issue**: with `configure` now **fully succeeding** (Makefiles, a - Visual Studio solution, and a Clangd backend all generated — a real - milestone), the subsequent `make -j$CPUS` immediately failed with - `*** MSYS make is not supported. Stop.` (from Mozilla's own - `config/baseconfig.mk`) — a deliberate, known check: Mozilla's build - system rejects MSYS's own bundled `make` (known Windows path-handling - incompatibilities between MSYS-style `/c/...` paths and native - `C:\...` paths in GNU Make's dependency tracking) and requires a - MinGW-w64-built `make` instead. Fixed by installing - `pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-make` (landed at - `/c/msys64/mingw64/bin/mingw32-make.exe`, GNU Make 4.4.1 "Built for - x86_64-w64-mingw32" — confirmed the right variant despite the legacy - "mingw32" name) and creating a `make.exe` copy *in that same directory* - (same DLL-sibling-dependency reasoning as the Python 3.11 shim earlier — - copying out to an isolated folder would likely break it), then - prioritizing `/c/msys64/mingw64/bin` ahead of `/c/msys64/usr/bin` in - PATH so plain `make` (as `setup.sh` calls it) resolves to this one - instead of MSYS's rejected one. -- Disk space checked: 142GB free on C: before starting. Realistic total - footprint (zip + unpacked source + build objects) estimated at - 10-15GB — not a concern. -- Extracting/deleting the Firefox source tree is itself slow on this - machine — a plain `ls`/`du` over the partially-extracted directory - didn't finish within a 120s tool timeout, and the `rm -rf` cleanup was - run in the background rather than assumed instant. Expect any - filesystem-heavy step over this source tree (extraction, `rm -rf`, - `configure`'s own file scanning) to be slower than on Linux/macOS — - budget real wall-clock time for these, not just the actual compile. -- 4th issue hit: once past the download/extraction (both now confirmed - working and cached — no need to redo them), Mozilla's own `js/src` - `configure` step calls `python3` internally too (a very common Mozilla - build-script convention), hitting the exact same Windows Store - App-Execution-Alias stub as `setup.sh`'s own Poetry install did earlier - — except this one couldn't just be skipped, since it's Mozilla's build - system, not ours. Fixed properly this time (rather than working around - the one call site) by creating a real `python3.exe` — a straight copy of - the working `python.exe` — at `C:\Users\danie\bin\python3.exe`, a - directory already early in PATH (confirmed via - `cmd.exe /c "where python3"` that this resolves before the WindowsApps - alias stub). This should cover any other internal `python3` calls - Mozilla's build makes too, not just the one that surfaced first. -- Also made `setup.sh`'s Firefox-source download/extract step idempotent - (skip entirely if `firefox-source` already exists) — it wasn't safe to - re-run originally (always re-extracted and re-`mv`d, failing with - "Directory not empty" once a prior attempt had already succeeded at that - step), and given how many *unrelated* environment issues we were finding - one at a time, needing a slow re-extract on every single retry would - have been a large, avoidable time cost. -- **ATL/MFC saga (5th issue, took several attempts)**: `configure` reached - much further this time (compiler detection, Windows SDK, Universal CRT - SDK all found correctly, using standalone LLVM's `clang-cl.exe` directly - — see note below) before hitting - `ERROR: Cannot find the ATL/MFC headers`. Three distinct problems - stacked on top of each other before this was actually resolved: - 1. First attempt used the generic/"latest" component aliases - (`Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.ATL` / - `...VC.ATLMFC`) — these exist in the catalog and are real component - IDs, but apparently target a different (likely older, "latest - stable") MSVC toolset than the one actually installed and in use - here (`14.51`, matching the exact toolset version named in the - configure error's own path). Silently no-op'd — installer reported - exit code 0 but never actually installed anything (confirmed: no - `atlmfc` directory appeared). Found the correct, exact, - version-matched IDs (`Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.14.51.ATL` - / `...VC.14.51.MFC`) by grepping the VS Installer's own package - catalog JSON (`C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\_Channels\*\catalog.json`) - for `Component.VC.*ATL`/`MFC` entries — this catalog is the - authoritative source of truth for what component IDs actually exist - for this specific VS release, better than guessing from generic - naming conventions across VS versions. - 2. Retrying with the correct, version-matched IDs still failed - (`ExitCode: 5007`, no clear message) — turned out to be a silly but - real bug in *this session's own* PowerShell command: a stray literal - `"--wait"` string left in the `-ArgumentList` array (confused with - PowerShell's own, separate `-Wait` switch parameter), which - `setup.exe modify` doesn't recognize as a valid option and rejected - the entire command before processing any `--add` components. - 3. With that fixed, still failed (exit code still non-zero) — checked - `vs_installer`'s own detailed log - (`%TEMP%\dd_installer_.log`, much more useful than the - bare exit code) and found the real cause: - `"Commands with --quiet or --passive should be run elevated from the - beginning."` — this automation session isn't running as - Administrator (`[Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal]::IsInRole(...Administrator)` - confirmed `False`), and VS component installs in quiet/passive mode - require real elevation — there's no way around this from an - unelevated process. **Resolved by retrying with - `Start-Process -Verb RunAs`**, which either triggered a UAC prompt - the user approved, or Windows auto-elevated it — either way, this - finally installed successfully and `atlmfc` now exists on disk. - **Side finding worth flagging**: the *original* attempt to install the - "C++ Clang Compiler for Windows" VS component (`VC.Llvm.Clang`, much - earlier in this log) almost certainly hit this exact same silent - elevation failure too (same non-admin session, same quiet-mode - install) — but it didn't matter, because standalone LLVM (installed - separately via `winget install LLVM.LLVM`, a user-level install not - needing elevation) already provides its own fully-functional - `clang-cl.exe`, which is what `configure` is actually finding and using - (confirmed: `checking for the target C compiler... - C:/PROGRA~1/LLVM/bin/clang-cl.exe`, not a path under - `VC\Tools\Llvm\`).
