From 1a7297513dee78bf6df404156fcedade18500afe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ASDAlexander77 Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 22:31:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] WIP: print ObjectType structural shape instead of bare 'object' (Bug 1, paused) MLIRPrinter::printType's ObjectType case unconditionally printed the literal string "object", discarding the storage type - the root cause of `let counterObj : object;` in cross-module @dllimport declarations for an untyped, method-bearing object-literal export. Print the structural shape via the (previously dead-code) printObjectType helper when the storage type is a TupleType/ConstTupleType/ObjectStorageType. This fixes the originally-described crash (mlir::cast assert at MLIRGenInterfaces.cpp:312) - the declaration now round-trips as `let counterObj : {count:number, inc:() => void};` instead of `object;`. NOT a complete fix, NOT ready for a PR: verifying end-to-end (WinDbg) surfaced a deeper boxed-vs-unboxed representation mismatch across the @dllimport boundary for untyped exports - see docs/interface-vtable-simplification-design.md's "Bug 1 ... PAUSED before PR" section for full detail and next steps. Paused here per explicit direction, pending a follow-up investigation session. --- .../interface-vtable-simplification-design.md | 82 +++++++++++++++++++ .../TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRPrinter.h | 23 +++++- 2 files changed, 104 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tslang/docs/interface-vtable-simplification-design.md b/tslang/docs/interface-vtable-simplification-design.md index 7890f500f..91f301fdb 100644 --- a/tslang/docs/interface-vtable-simplification-design.md +++ b/tslang/docs/interface-vtable-simplification-design.md @@ -474,6 +474,88 @@ relative to already-compiled method bodies expecting the original layout; that can only bite literals whose inferred field types differ in size from the interface's, and is out of scope here. 722/722 suite (720 + 2 new). +### Bug 1 (untyped export -> bare `object`) - printer fix implemented, PAUSED before PR (2026-07-19) + +Attempted the fix [[imported-object-interface-cast-bugs]] flagged as +"not yet investigated": `MLIRPrinter::printType`'s `ObjectType` case +(include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRPrinter.h) unconditionally printed the +literal string `"object"`, discarding the storage type entirely - the root +cause of the `let counterObj : object;` degradation.

Confirmed this alone fixes the +originally-described crash: the declaration now round-trips as +`let counterObj : {count:number, inc:() => void};` instead of +`object;`, and no longer hits the `mlir::cast` assert +at `MLIRGenInterfaces.cpp:312`. + +**But this does not make the untyped-export scenario work end-to-end - +verifying surfaced a fourth, deeper bug**: an untyped, method-bearing +object literal (`export var counterObj = {...}`, no annotation) is +auto-boxed as `ObjectType` (pointer-indirected) in the EXPORTING module, +per the object-literal-boxing rule from the #248/#249 arc. The printed +`{...}` text is a plain TS structural type-literal syntax with no way to +say "and this should be boxed" - there is no such TS source syntax, boxing +is purely an expression-shape heuristic applied to object LITERALS, never +to type ANNOTATIONS. So the IMPORTER, parsing that declaration as an +ordinary type annotation, reconstructs an UNBOXED `TupleType` - a +representation mismatch against the exporting module's actual boxed +global. Confirmed via WinDbg (same technique as the earlier bugs in this +file): crashes with a null-funcptr `call rax` DURING the +`A.counterObj` cast construction itself, before any method call +or field read - earlier/more fundamental than the clone-field-order or +width-coercion bugs above. + +Also independently reconfirmed via a same-module (no cross-module import +at all) repro that the width-coercion sharp edge noted above is real and +pre-existing: `{ count: 0, ... }` (integer literal, infers `s32`) cast to +an interface declaring `count: number` reads back +`4.94066e-324` (= the bit pattern of small int `1` misread as an 8-byte +double) after one `inc()` - not a NaN or a crash, silently wrong. Using a +float literal (`count: 0.0`, infers `number`/f64 directly, no +width-narrowing) avoids this specific bug and cast/mutate/read correctly +same-module - but does NOT avoid the boxing-mismatch crash above when +cross-module, since that one triggers before any field is ever touched. + +**Not yet investigated**: how to recover "boxed-ness" across the +`@dllimport` boundary for an untyped export. Two directions worth +comparing before picking one: (a) teach the declaration-EXPORT side to +emit some signal distinguishing "this var's type should reconstruct as +boxed `ObjectType`" (the printer alone can't invent new TS syntax for +this - would need either a compiler-internal-only declaration extension or +piggybacking on existing syntax in a way the ordinary parser still +accepts), or (b) teach `@dllimport` type RECONSTRUCTION (whichever code +turns a parsed type annotation into the `var`/`let`'s MLIR type during +declaration-file processing) to apply the same "structural type with +method members -> box as ObjectType" rule that literal EXPRESSIONS already +get, at least for declaration-only (no initializer) `@dllimport` bindings. +Direction (b) seems lower-risk (touches reconstruction, not the +established literal-boxing heuristic or wire format) but wasn't explored. +Sequencing note for whoever picks this up: this bug must be fixed BEFORE +the width-coercion one matters for the untyped-export cross-module case, +since it crashes strictly earlier in the same call path. + +**Follow-up (2026-07-20): confirmed the two directions are NOT symmetric.** +User hypothesized declaring an explicit intermediate `object`-typed +binding (`export let counterObj2: object = counterObj;`) might sidestep +the mismatch. Tested: it does not - it regresses to the ORIGINAL +`mlir::cast` assert (MLIRGenInterfaces.cpp:312) +instead of the boxing-mismatch crash. Reason: `counterObj2`'s own MLIR +storage type is genuinely opaque (widened away, not just a printer +omission - its declaration prints as bare `object` even WITH the printer +fix applied, confirming the concrete shape is erased at assignment, not +just at print time), so it has strictly LESS structural information than +`counterObj` itself, not more. This rules out "introduce an explicit +`object`-typed alias" as a workaround and confirms direction (b) above +(teach `@dllimport` reconstruction to box a method-bearing structural +type annotation, matching the literal-expression boxing rule) is the +right next thing to try - direction (a) (encode boxed-ness in the +declaration syntax itself) has no natural TS syntax to piggyback on, +as an `object`-typed annotation turns out to mean "opaque", not "boxed +structural". + ### Newly found: multi-method cross-module vtable slot bug (2026-07-19) Found while extending test coverage beyond this arc's fixes - every prior diff --git a/tslang/include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRPrinter.h b/tslang/include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRPrinter.h index b3fe2195e..422b42726 100644 --- a/tslang/include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRPrinter.h +++ b/tslang/include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRPrinter.h @@ -316,7 +316,28 @@ class MLIRPrinter out << t.getName().getValue().str().c_str(); }) .template Case([&](auto t) { - out << "object"; + // print the structural shape (field/method names+types), not just + // "object", so a cross-module @dllimport declaration for an + // inferred (unannotated) object-literal export round-trips back + // into a real structural type on reimport instead of degrading to + // bare `object` (which has no fields/methods to cast against). + auto storageType = t.getStorageType(); + if (auto tupleType = dyn_cast(storageType)) + { + printObjectType(out, tupleType); + } + else if (auto constTupleType = dyn_cast(storageType)) + { + printObjectType(out, constTupleType); + } + else if (auto objectStorageType = dyn_cast(storageType)) + { + printObjectType(out, objectStorageType); + } + else + { + out << "object"; + } }) .template Case([&](auto t) { printTupleType(out, t); From 6085c1216adef6090c5857463060c1b64f21b396 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ASDAlexander77 Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 01:06:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Round-trip boxed-ness across @dllimport boundary via a sibling @boxed decorator Follow-up to Bug 1 (untyped cross-module object-literal export -> bare `object` on reimport, documented in docs/interface-vtable-simplification-design.md). The earlier printer fix (ObjectType prints its real structural shape instead of bare "object") is included here too and fixes the originally-reported crash (mlir::cast assert at MLIRGenInterfaces.cpp:312) - but verifying end-to-end found that alone isn't enough: an untyped, method-bearing object-literal export is auto-boxed as ObjectType (pointer-indirected) in the exporter, but its declaration text ({count:number, inc:() => void}) is indistinguishable from an explicitly- typed (unboxed) export of the same shape - there's no TS source syntax for "and this should be boxed". Confirmed (per user's suggested test) that introducing an explicit `object`-typed intermediate binding doesn't help either: it widens away the concrete shape entirely and regresses to the ORIGINAL crash instead of avoiding it. Fix: teach the declaration wire format to carry boxed-ness explicitly, mirroring the established @dllimport/@used/@atomic/@volatile decorator pattern (VariableClass, iterateDecorators): - DeclarationPrinter.cpp: printVariableDeclaration emits a sibling @boxed decorator when the variable's real type is ObjectType wrapping a concrete Tuple/ConstTuple/ObjectStorage type. - VariableClass gets an isBoxed flag, set from the @boxed decorator via the same iterateDecorators loop that already handles @dllimport. - MLIRGenVariables.cpp: the declarationMode-only initFunc path (evaluateTypeAndInit) wraps the resolved type in getObjectType(...) when isBoxed is set. Deliberately NOT changed: the general getType() handling for TypeLiteral (used everywhere - function params, return types, etc.) - boxing there unconditionally would regress #257's explicitly-typed export test, which relies on staying unboxed. Verified: the untyped-export scenario no longer hits the boxing-mismatch crash (the interface cast now constructs without crashing). Full ctest suite: 730/730, unchanged - confirms zero regressions, including #257's unboxed case and the already-working same-module boxed interface exports. NOT a complete fix for the untyped-export scenario. A further, narrower issue remains: reading/calling the boxed global directly (no interface cast) still returns garbage or crashes with a null function pointer call. Unlike every other boxed cross-module global this arc has exercised (all 16-byte inline values, e.g. an interface's {vtblPtr, thisVal} pair), this is the first single-pointer-indirection (8-byte, GC-heap-allocated data) boxed global tried cross-module - not yet determined whether this is a constructor-ordering issue or something else specific to that shape. Full mechanism, evidence, and the precise next debugging step are documented in docs/interface-vtable-simplification-design.md for whoever picks this up. No regression test added - the scenario this was built for still fails, just later and for a different reason.

DeclarationPrinter/MLIRPrinter printed a method-typed tuple field (a FunctionType taking an explicit `this`) using arrow-property syntax ("name: (...) => result"), textually identical to what a genuinely bound closure field prints. On reimport this always parsed back as HybridFunctionType (two-pointer struct) instead of the exporter's real FunctionType (single pointer), silently misaligning the field. Now prints method-signature syntax ("name(...): result") for FunctionType fields specifically inside object-type-literal braces, matching what getMethodSignature resolves back to - scoped to '{...}' only, since method-signature syntax isn't valid inside a '[...]' tuple. 2. An object literal's method, when it's the initializer of an exported var/let, is reachable only indirectly (its function pointer is baked into the exported global's data, never referenced by name) - but codegen gave it ordinary private linkage, matching every other nested/anonymous function. The linker is then free to treat it as dead and strip it, leaving a null/invalid method slot when read cross- module. New GenContext.isExportVarReceiver flag, set the same way isGlobalVarReceiver already is, forces InternalFlags::IsPublic on such methods (same mechanism exported class methods already use). Also attempted to fix isDynamicImport's cross-module global to hold a live RefType instead of a one-time value-copy snapshot (matching how a @dllimport reference should behave) - reverted after it broke the existing structural-typed interface-cast test by exposing a real, pre-existing gap in FunctionType->BoundFunctionType interface-vtable coercion (the same class of issue as CastLogicHelper.h's long-documented, unimplemented "review usage" stubs). Left as isDynamicImport's original value-copy behavior; the reference-semantics fix and the vtable-coercion gap are follow-up work. 730/730 suite (+2 disabled), zero regressions. Investigation also isolated the actual remaining blocker for the disabled untyped-export direct-call test: the exporter's boxed object resolves to a real-looking heap pointer at runtime, but that memory is unmapped by the time the importer dereferences it - a genuine cross-module GC-heap- lifetime bug (see jit-globals-not-gc-roots.md precedent), unrelated to declaration text, linkage, or reference semantics. Tracked separately. --- .../TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRGenContext.h | 7 ++ .../TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRPrinter.h | 101 ++++++++++++++++-- tslang/lib/TypeScript/MLIRGenImpl.h | 11 ++ tslang/lib/TypeScript/MLIRGenVariables.cpp | 19 +--- 4 files changed, 116 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/tslang/include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRGenContext.h b/tslang/include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRGenContext.h index 2a3ef2e34..cd9123e04 100644 --- a/tslang/include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRGenContext.h +++ b/tslang/include/TypeScript/MLIRLogic/MLIRGenContext.h @@ -158,6 +158,13 @@ struct GenContext mlir::Type receiverType;
