Make each rejection reason match the failed predicate.
Line 1213 reports init_not_a_let for Stmt::Let { init: None }. Line 1276 reports counter_not_integer for storage, boxing, bound-safety, and entry-range failures. Lines 1346 and 1354 report scalar-replaced arrays as *_not_addressable. Split these conditions or rename the reasons. Otherwise, trace output can point debugging at the wrong matcher gate.
Also applies to: 1276-1276, 1346-1346, 1354-1354

…PACKED_LOOP_TRACE `match_packed_f64_range_loop` has 23 independent `return None` sites and no way to tell which one declined a loop. PerryTS#9204 gave `match_packed_f64_versioned_loop` exactly this treatment after three attempts on PerryTS#9151 each guessed a different gate; the range matcher was left without it, and I promptly repeated the mistake — I widened its index recognizer to accept a loop-invariant base (`a[base + k]`), got it correct against seven adversarial cases, and it was completely inert, because the loop was never being declined where I assumed. With the trace the same question took one run: $ PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1 perry build probe.ts [range-loop] rejected: body_not_admissible Each site gets a name describing the condition that failed, so a declined loop reports which of the 23 gates it hit instead of requiring a bisect through the matcher. Off unless the env var is set; reasons are `&'static str` and the check is a `OnceLock` read. No behaviour change: every replaced site returns `None` exactly as before.

Merged, with one fix pushed onto the branch. The motivation is the right one and it is the second time this exact argument has paid: #9204 gave the versioned matcher a named rejection reason after three attempts on #9151 each guessed a different gate, and #9248 then guessed on the range matcher — widening a predicate that was never the thing rejecting the loop. An admission chain of independent conditions where the only feedback is "it didn't fire" costs hours, repeatedly, and a one-line Verified the diagnostic actually works in both directions, because a diagnostic that never prints is indistinguishable from a dead one and I have merged an inert instrument before:
So it discriminates rather than printing one catch-all. What I fixed: the new Worth flagging because it is now the third time I have seen it in this repo (#9161, and again here after a rebase re-applied the same insertion): adding a function immediately above an existing one silently steals its doc comment. Cheap to check — No build-cache work needed: Validation: |
Diagnostic only, no behaviour change. Refs #9248.
Why
match_packed_f64_range_loophas 23 independentreturn Nonesites and no way to tell which one declined a given loop. #9204 gavematch_packed_f64_versioned_loopexactly this treatment, after three separate attempts on #9151 each guessed a different gate. The range matcher never got the equivalent.I then repeated the mistake, at cost. Investigating why
s = s + a[k + 8]runs 4× slower thans = s + a[k], I widened the range matcher's index recognizer to accept a loop-invariant base (a[base + k]), verified it against seven adversarial cases — base assigned mid-loop, negative base, base pushing the window pasti32::MAX, two different bases for one array — and it was completely inert. The loop was never being declined where I assumed. I discarded that branch.With the trace, the same question took one run:
What it does
Each of the 23 sites returns through
range_loop_reject("<reason>")instead of a bareNone, naming the condition that failed —counter_not_integer,bound_not_loop_invariant,body_not_admissible,counter_window_out_of_i32,store_not_fact_eligible, and so on. Same env var as #9204, distinct[range-loop]prefix so the two matchers are separable in one run.Off unless
PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1; reasons are&'static str, the check is aOnceLockread, and every replaced site returnsNoneexactly as before.Validation

The trace establishes that
a[k + 8]is admitted by the range matcher — so the 4× cost is not an admission failure, and two of my attempted fixes were inert for that reason. It is also not the emitted fast path: the hot loop bodies are 11 instructions fora[k]against 13 fora[k + 8]. The remaining candidate is that the fast clone is not entered at runtime, or that a different matcher claims the loop first and publishes a fact withwindow_validated: false—lower_packed_f64_versioned_for(which does) runs atloops.rs:5854, before the range lowering at:5861, andpacked_f64_loop_fact_for_indexdeclines any non-zero offset unless the fact carrieswindow_validatedorallow_holes. I have not confirmed that, and say so rather than leave it as an assertion in the issue.Summary by CodeRabbit
