Fixes #9305, the release blocker: cc --help segfaulted deterministically on main, taking the byte-parity-vs-node gate offline for every runtime measurement. It was two stacked regressions, fixed in separate commits.

cc --help is now rc=0, 9,175 bytes, byte-identical to node, 5/5 runs.

Regression 1 — the crash: a setjmp miscompile that no source-level fix could reach

The confirmed coloring (differential disassembly of the preserved good/bad pair): run_microtasks spills the compiler-cached TLS base (mov %fs:0x0,%rax0x38(%rsp)) before setjmp; the task-record copy loop stores into the same slot on the normal path; the longjmp-return branch reloads it and faults. The corrupted value is a compiler temporary with no source name — so the existing #8937-style discipline of re-reading TLS after a landing could never fix this class. That settled the fix choice.

A correction to the issue's analysis, established by measurement: the good and bad builds have machine-code-identical run_microtasks (normalized diff = addresses only). The bisect window did not change the coloring — the hazard is old and latent in every build. gdb counters during --help: good build = 7 slot-clobbers, 0 longjmp landings; bad build = 5 clobbers, 1 landing → SIGSEGV. What the window introduced was the throw (regression 2 below).

The fix: structural, by construction

No Rust frame is ever a longjmp target. A 10-line C trampoline perry_sjlj_try (compiled via cc in build.rs, bundled into libperry_runtime.a) is the only frame setjmp returns twice into; Rust arms exclusively through exception::arm_trap_and_run / catch_js_throw and sees a single-return call. rustc cannot express returns_twice (the attribute was removed from the language), so the one twice-returning frame is compiled by a C compiler that knows setjmp's contract — making LLVM's assumptions valid for current and future sites alike. ~39 sites converted (30 runtime, 7 stdlib, 2 ext-fastify).

Proven by census, not assertion: objdump -dr over the whole runtime archive shows exactly two setjmp-family relocations — the trampoline (sole longjmp target, textbook-safe disasm) and the GC register-snapshot's setjmp (never longjmp'd; documented as the deliberate exception). The app binary contains exactly one call _setjmp@plt. run_microtasks contains no setjmp at all.

run_microtasks' protected region became pump_protected(...) with a re-arm loop, so a throw from rejection plumbing lands in a live frame — the placement rule is documented on arm_trap_and_run. Also fixed in passing: ran was itself a modified-after-setjmp local (formally indeterminate after a landing); now deterministic behind &mut.

A fast reproducer, forever

The coloring lives in the prebuilt archive, so it is app-independent: test_issue_9305_throw_in_microtask.ts SIGSEGVs 3/3 in seconds on the pristine base with the same disasm signature, and is pinned by an integration test. No cc compile is ever needed to regress-test this again.

Regression 2 — unmasked by fixing the crash: fancy-regex rejects #9263's \b marker

With the crash gone, --help exited 1: SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression on marked's html-block regex. #9263 spells ASCII \b/\B as (?-iu:\b) — valid for the linear regex crate, but fancy-regex's parser rejects the u flag. So any lookbehind/backreference pattern containing a word boundary was a SyntaxError; cli.js builds exactly such a regex inside a promise chain — which is the throw-in-microtask that detonated regression 1. Confirmed pre-existing on the pristine base.

Fix (separate commit): build_fancy_regex rewrites the translator-only marker into the one-char-lookaround boundary spelling. (?-iu: cannot survive from user input — it is a JS SyntaxError — so the rewrite can only ever see the translator's own output. The linear fast path is untouched; a unit test pins compile+match including the full marked pattern.

Verification

  • cc --help: byte-identical, 5/5; --version identical; 282 trampoline arms per run, clean exit.
  • Corpus byte-diffs vs node: throw-in-microtask, chain-throw, nested-try, rethrow-async all identical on the fix. On the base, throw-in-microtask AND chain-throw both segfault — the same bug had a second shape.
  • cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib -- --test-threads=1: 2,881/0 on Linux, 2,897/0 on macOS; regex family 68/0; 3 new trampoline unit tests exercise a real longjmp through the C frame on both platforms.
  • Performance: --help instructions at parity (median −0.7% vs the good reference build). The drain microbench (400k awaits) is ~14% faster than base — the trampoline is cheaper than the old inline transport. Throw landings (100k): 107 ms vs node's 94 ms.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed crashes and incorrect exception handling when errors are thrown inside microtasks, promises, callbacks, timers, and stream operations.
    • Restored reliable behavior for cc --help and applications using the marked HTML parser.
    • Fixed regular expressions using word boundaries with lookarounds or backreferences so they compile correctly.
  • Tests
    • Added regression coverage for microtask exceptions and advanced regular-expression patterns.

…rryTS#9305)

rustc cannot express returns_twice, so a raw setjmp in a Rust frame is
compiled under LLVM's one-return assumption — stack slots live only into
the longjmp path get colored into unrelated normal-path temporaries.
run_microtasks crashed exactly this way (cached TLS base spill reused by
the task-record copy loop). No Rust frame is a longjmp target anymore:
perry_sjlj_try (C, compiled with real setjmp semantics) is the only
twice-returning frame, and Rust callers use exception::arm_trap_and_run /
catch_js_throw. The one remaining raw setjmp (gc/roots.rs register
snapshot) never longjmps and is documented as such.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…trampoline (PerryTS#9305)

Same hazard class as the runtime sites: raw setjmp in a Rust frame is
compiled without returns_twice. perry-stdlib goes through
exception::catch_js_throw; perry-ext-fastify (no Cargo dep on
perry-runtime by design) declares the perry_sjlj_try C symbol directly
and mirrors arm_trap_and_run locally.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…erryTS#9305 fallout)

The transport fix unmasked this second regression: js_regex_to_rust
spells ECMAScript's ASCII \b/\B as (?-iu:\b) (PerryTS#9263), which the regex
crate accepts but fancy-regex rejects (NonUnicodeUnsupported). Any
lookaround/backreference pattern with a word boundary was a SyntaxError
— cli.js's marked html-block regex among them; its throw inside a
microtask was the longjmp that the miscompiled runner turned into the
--help SIGSEGV. build_fancy_regex now rewrites the translator's marker
(unambiguous — '(?-iu:' cannot survive from user input) into the
one-char-lookaround boundary spelling the i+u path already uses.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now arms longjmp-capable exception traps through a compiled C trampoline and centralizes Rust-side exception capture. Microtask and callback paths use the new helpers. The regex builder rewrites incompatible ASCII word-boundary markers. Regression tests cover both fixes.

Changes

C-trampoline exception transport

Layer / File(s) Summary
C trampoline and shared exception API
crates/perry-runtime/Cargo.toml, crates/perry-runtime/build.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/ffi/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/exception.rs, changelog.d/9305-setjmp-c-trampoline.md
The runtime compiles perry_sjlj.c, exposes arm_trap_and_run and catch_js_throw, documents valid setjmp usage, and tests normal, throwing, and nested traps.
Re-armed runtime trap control flow
crates/perry-runtime/src/promise/microtasks.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/dyn_eval/interp.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/array/iterator.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/frame.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/fs/dir_glob_watch/watch.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/promise/rejection.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/timer.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/util_promisify.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/roots.rs
Microtask, iterator, evaluator, uncaught-trap, timer, rejection, and promisify paths use trampoline-based traps and preserve exception cleanup and re-arming behavior.
Shared helper adoption across runtime and standard library
crates/perry-ext-fastify/src/server.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/{collection_iter.rs,fs/callbacks.rs,node_stream_...,node_submodules/*,object/*,promise/*}, crates/perry-stdlib/src/{crypto/random.rs,domain.rs,querystring.rs,streams/*}
Manual setjmp exception boundaries now call catch_js_throw. Existing success, error, cleanup, and error-bit mappings remain in place.
Microtask regression coverage
crates/perry/tests/issue_9305_throw_in_microtask.rs, test-files/test_issue_9305_throw_in_microtask.ts
The integration test compiles and runs promise microtask cases and checks deterministic output against the expected Node output.

Fancy-regex word-boundary compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fancy-regex boundary rewrite and tests
crates/perry-runtime/src/regex.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/regex/tests.rs, changelog.d/9305-fancy-ascii-word-boundary.md
build_fancy_regex rewrites translated ASCII \b and \B markers into compatible lookarounds. Tests cover lookarounds, backreferences, non-ASCII boundaries, and the marked HTML-block pattern.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d75e6

The PR fixes the crash and regex failure, but a remaining EventLoop throw path can repeat microtask accounting, rejection handling, and timer processing, causing incorrect runtime behavior; unused imports can also break warning-deny builds. The generic exception helper requires owner awareness because non-local throws bypass Rust destructor cleanup, so the PR is not merge-ready until the phase-handling issue is resolved.

Extract the re-arming uncaught-trap loop into one shared helper. The three sites now contain the same loop: take the callback on the first arm, and on each landing read the exception, clear it, emit the process uncaught exception, and re-arm. Two of the comments already name timer::with_timer_uncaught_trap as the reference, which shows the invariant has no single owner. Add one helper next to arm_trap_and_run in crates/perry-runtime/src/exception.rs, for example with_uncaught_trap<F: FnOnce()>(f: F), and call it from all three sites.

Make the post-drain phases idempotent, or move them out of pump_protected. In MicrotaskDrainMode::EventLoop, the drain_queued_microtasks_count() call after js_callback_timer_tick() invokes callbacks without an inner trap. A throw there reaches the outer arm_trap_and_run, which re-enters pump_protected and decrements MICROTASK_RUN_DEPTH.jobs a second time. This can consume the enclosing pump's count and rerun process_rejections() and the timer phase. Keep the jobs decrement, rejection processing, and timer phases outside the re-armed region, or guard them with caller-frame state.

Correct the comment: this case does not use queueMicrotask.

The comment describes a queueMicrotask callback and "the queued-microtask context restore". The code below uses Promise.resolve().then(...), which is the same shape as the chain at Lines 24-30. The distinguishing property of this case is that it produces a second landing in the same drain, which the comment also states.

Either fix the comment or switch the case to a real queueMicrotask callback if that path is meant to be covered.

📝 Proposed comment fix
-// queueMicrotask callback that throws AFTER a caught landing in the same

-// through the queued-microtask context restore.
+// A second throwing `.then` callback, AFTER the caught landing above in the
+// same drain — exercises the trap re-arm path: the runner must re-arm the
+// jmp_buf before pumping the next task.

Correct the comment near the second-landing test to describe the actual
Promise.resolve().then(...) callback path rather than queueMicrotask or
queued-microtask context restoration, while retaining that it exercises a second
landing in the same drain and the trap re-arm path.

Merged. I verified the structural claim independently rather than taking the census on trust, since "no Rust frame is ever a longjmp target" is the whole guarantee here.

nm -u over the built libperry_runtime.a shows exactly two setjmp-family references and one longjmp, and extracting the members attributes them to precisely the two objects you name: perry_sjlj.o (the trampoline) and one Rust CGU. That Rust one is the GC register-spill in gc/roots.rs:423, whose buffer is never a longjmp target — so LLVM's single-return assumption is genuinely valid there, and it is documented in place with the rule for future sites.

The trampoline itself is textbook: env, body and ctx are the only objects live across the jump and none is modified between setjmp and longjmp, which is exactly the condition C guarantees preservation for.

Verification on my side: test_issue_9305_throw_in_microtask.ts compiles and runs 3/3 clean, byte-identical to the pinned Node 26.5.1 oracle; perry-runtime --lib 2904/0; the regex family 78/0; perry-stdlib 126/0; the issue_9305_throw_in_microtask integration test passes; release build clean with no warnings; and the full run_lint_gates.sh set is green.

Two things I appreciated in the writeup. Correcting the issue's own analysis by measurement — machine-code-identical run_microtasks in the good and bad builds, so the hazard was old and latent and the window only introduced the throw — is the kind of finding that changes what the fix has to be, and it's the reason a source-level re-read discipline would have been the wrong answer. And picking the structural fix over patching the blamed site means the guarantee covers sites nobody has written yet, which is the only version of this that stays true.
