What is left of this

This started as a fix for a bound function given to an inlined Array.prototype.sort. Upstream has since fixed the same bug in 324512@main, "[JSC] Inlined Array#sort should keep the comparator call kind for bound functions", which reached main here with #923.

Upstream's fix is the better one. This branch kept BoundFunctionCall and passed ArraySortComparatorCall on by name. Upstream removes BoundFunctionCall and BoundFunctionTailCall and inlines the target with the kind of the call to the bound function, whatever it is. In the merge DFGByteCodeParser.cpp is main's, so this pull request now adds one test and changes no code.

The bug, for reference

"use strict";
const cmp = ((a, b) => a - b).bind(null);
function test(x, y) { return [x, y].sort(cmp); }
function outer(x, y) { let s = 0; for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) s += i; return [test(x, y), s]; }
function spin() { let s = 0; for (let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) s += i; return s; }
for (let i = 0; i < 300; i++) { outer(2, 1); spin(); }
const r = outer(2147483647, -5)[0];
console.log(typeof r, r === Array.prototype.sort, Array.isArray(r) ? r.join() : "");

After an OSR exit inside the inlined target, its frame returned to the return location of the call to sort rather than to arraySortComparatorReturnTrampoline:

call to sort	result
result used	sort returns -2147483652, the comparator's result, and the array is left unsorted
result ignored	the array is left unsorted, with no error
tail call, caller in the baseline JIT	the caller returns Array.prototype.sort itself
tail call, caller in the LLInt (--forceOSRExitToLLInt=1)	segmentation fault at address 0

What the test adds to upstream's

Upstream's array-sort-inline-osr-exit-in-bound-comparator.js covers the result used and ignored, a tail call, a function bound twice, a bound this and argument, and a comparator that tail-calls. array-sort-inline-bound-comparator-osr-exit.js overlaps with it there, and adds:

• What the target's frame holds after the exit. The result of a comparator that exited is discarded and the sort starts again, so a this, bound argument, argument or argument count recovered wrongly changes nothing that either test could see. Here the target records them after the subtraction that exits. It also declares a parameter it is not passed, for arity fixup on top of a bound argument. Upstream's fix drops the MovHints that inlineCall repeated for the arguments of a bound function's target, so this is the part of it that nothing else checks.
• An exit in the middle of a sort. Upstream's comparators exit on their first call. Here a sixteen element array overflows once half of it has been sorted.
• A run with --forceOSRExitToLLInt=1, the configuration where the tail call was a segmentation fault.
• An exit from a failed speculation, int32 overflow, rather than OSRExit().

How it was run

All three are CI's own macOS arm64 builds, and I ran their jsc with the option sets of run-jsc-stress-tests. main before #923 is 8c6c963, the lto lane. main with upstream's fix is autobuild-preview-pr-923-b67a0b1a, the lto lane and the debug lane, which has assertions on; its Source/JavaScriptCore is identical to that of a7b59e6, the main merged here, whose own build was not published yet.

	before #923	with upstream's fix, lto and debug
default, no-llint, no-cjit-validate-phases, no-cjit-collect-continuously, dfg-eager, dfg-eager-no-cjit-validate, ftl-eager, ftl-eager-no-cjit, ftl-eager-no-cjit-b3o1, ftl-no-cjit-small-pool, --forceOSRExitToLLInt=1 with and without the eager thresholds	fails	passes
--maximumInliningDepth=1, --useJIT=0	passes: nothing is inlined	passes

default compiles concurrently, so whether it fails without the fix depends on timing.

With the fix, in both lanes, --printEachOSRExit=1 shows one Overflow exit inside the inlined target for each of the six cases, and the recording target is called twice on the last run, once by the code that exits and once by the sort that starts again, with the same values both times. The file takes from 10 to 54 ms in the lto lane and from 12 to 106 ms in the debug lane, depending on the configuration.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it changes which return PC OSR exit reconstructs for an inlined DFG frame, and the description notes it hasn't been rebuilt since the rebase onto main, a human look from someone familiar with the sort-comparator inlining would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Traced the new kind through callerReturnPC in Source/JavaScriptCore/dfg/DFGOSRExitCompilerCommon.cpp: ArraySortComparatorCall is answered before the per-opcode switch, so both LLInt and baseline callers get the trampoline and the op_tail_call case no longer reaches the BoundFunctionCall branches.
• Checked that ArraySortComparatorCall only reaches the BoundFunctionCallIntrinsic case from handleArraySort (DFGByteCodeParser.cpp:14314), which always passes Call, so the debug-only ASSERT has no release-mode path that disagrees with it today.
• Checked the MovHint switch at DFGByteCodeParser.cpp:2212 now skipping the target frame: this matches the existing non-bound comparator inlining, and the bound frame's arguments are already MovHint+SetLocal'd by set() at line 5861 before handleCall.
• Test header follows the existing defaultRun; run(...) pattern and uses testLoopCount; it is a new file, so no BUN-TEST-DIFFERENCES.md entry is needed.

Extended reasoning...

The change is a seven-line edit in Source/JavaScriptCore/dfg/DFGByteCodeParser.cpp that propagates InlineCallFrame::ArraySortComparatorCall to the bound function's inlined target when the bound function is an inlined Array#sort comparator, plus a new stress test with five cases run in default and forceOSRExitToLLInt configurations. It touches no injection, auth, or data-exposure surface, but it does touch DFG inlining and OSR exit frame reconstruction, where a wrong return PC previously produced wrong results or a null jump target. The fix is small and consistent with the surrounding code, and the four candidate issues investigated this run were ruled out from the code; the decision to defer rather than approve rests on the paths being covered by .github/CODEOWNERS (/Source/JavaScriptCore and /JSTests), the author's own statement that the rebased version has not been built or run, and the exit-path nature of the change which CI's release-only lanes would not catch via assertions.

Walkthrough

The new stress test exercises inlined bound comparators passed to Array.prototype.sort during OSR exits to LLInt. It checks sort results, array order, and recorded comparator arguments.

Changes

Bound Comparator OSR Exit

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Test bound comparator OSR exits JSTests/stress/array-sort-inline-bound-comparator-osr-exit.js	The test defines bound comparator and sort scenarios, including double binding and bound this and argument. After warm-up and an int32 overflow, it checks that each sort returns its receiver and produces the expected order. The bound-this case also checks recorded call details.

I reviewed this PR, including the second commit's added test cases, and didn't find any bugs. Since it changes an InlineCallFrame kind in DFG OSR-exit-relevant code owned by jsc-reviewers, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Every consumer of InlineCallFrame::Kind for the re-kinded bound-target frame: callerReturnPC in DFGOSRExitCompilerCommon.cpp returns the arraySortComparatorReturnTrampoline before any opcode lookup, so the LLInt null-jumpTarget and baseline wrong-return-location cases both go away; callModeFor, specializationKindFor and isTail already treat ArraySortComparatorCall exactly like BoundFunctionCall.
• The ASSERT(callOp == Call): ArraySortComparatorCall is only ever passed by handleArraySort with a Call op, and a bound-of-bound target re-enters the same intrinsic path with the kind preserved, so a TailCall op cannot reach it.
• The MovHint block in inlineCall (DFGByteCodeParser.cpp ~2212) lists BoundFunctionCall but not ArraySortComparatorCall, so the bound target now skips it; this matches the existing plain-function comparator frame, which is set up the same way with ImmediateNakedSet, so no new divergence is introduced.
• The new test follows JSTests/README.md rules (testLoopCount, throws on failure, stress directory) and no upstream test is modified, so BUN-TEST-DIFFERENCES.md needs no entry.

Extended reasoning...

The change is a 9-line edit in ByteCodeParser::handleIntrinsicCall's BoundFunctionCallIntrinsic path that propagates InlineCallFrame::ArraySortComparatorCall to the inlined bound-function target, plus a new stress test with six sort-with-bound-comparator cases run in default configs and with --forceOSRExitToLLInt=1. It touches no injection, auth or data-exposure surface, but it does touch DFG/FTL OSR exit frame reification, which is memory-safety-relevant (the bug manifested as a segfault). I traced all kind consumers and found the fix consistent; the bug hunt ran dry with no findings. Deferring rather than approving because Source/JavaScriptCore and JSTests are covered by .github/CODEOWNERS (@ WebKit/jsc-reviewers) and because the author states the rebased revision has not yet been built or run.

[claude]

I reviewed the current version of this PR and found no bugs; since the merge of main the diff is now only the new test (the kind pass-through in DFGByteCodeParser.cpp already comes from upstream at line 5858), so the remaining questions are maintainer calls rather than correctness ones.

What was reviewed:

• The six cases in JSTests/stress/array-sort-inline-bound-comparator-osr-exit.js: expected strings match what the recording target observes (undefined joins as empty, arguments.length is 3), and each case has its own bound target so one overflow does not spoil the next case's profile.
• Header and failure mode against JSTests/README rules: //@ defaultRun; run(...) follows existing tests, iteration count uses testLoopCount, failures throw.
• Overlap with upstream's array-sort-inline-osr-exit-in-bound-comparator.js (already in base, uses OSRExit()): this test adds the overflow-driven exit, the --forceOSRExitToLLInt=1 run and the 16-element case, so it is not a pure duplicate, but whether to keep a fork-only test next to upstream's is a judgment for a maintainer.
• JSTests/BUN-TEST-DIFFERENCES.md: the "fork's own tests" table lists fork-added regression tests (e.g. array-sort-inline-int32-double-comparator.js) and does not yet have a row for this file; a nit, not a blocker.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds one 59-line JSC stress test and touches no engine code, build files or security-sensitive surface. The engine fix the PR was written for is no longer in the diff because the merge of main (6e8dcef) brought upstream's equivalent change, so the test is purely additive regression coverage. Deferring rather than approving because /JSTests is covered by a CODEOWNERS entry, the test overlaps an upstream test already in base (a keep-or-drop decision for a maintainer), and the fork's BUN-TEST-DIFFERENCES.md table of fork-added tests has no entry for it. Nothing in the test itself looked wrong: expected values, header syntax and failure mode all check out against the repository's conventions.
