…then` (#9539) `util.callbackify(fn)(cb)` where `fn` returns an object-literal thenable whose `then` allocates and resolves synchronously printed every callback's correct result and then SIGSEGV'd at exit inside `promise::microtasks::pump_protected`. 6,000 iterations reproduced it on 5/5 runs at default GC settings. Root cause: `assimilate_via_then_property` — and the class-vtable arm of `js_assimilate_thenable` — allocate the wrapper Promise, hand the user's `then` two resolving closures that capture it, run that `then`, and then NaN-box the wrapper out of a bare `*mut Promise` Rust local. That `then` body is user code: with the moving nursery (default-on) a loop safepoint inside it evacuates the young generation. The wrapper itself survives — the closures' capture words are pointer-bearing, so the collector rewrites them, and `resolve(1)` settles the promise at its NEW address — but the Rust local is not a GC root, so the function returned the pre-collection address, i.e. retired from-space. `callbackify_outer_thunk` then classified that stale word (`js_value_is_promise` reads its GC header), rooted it, and attached the fulfilled/rejected reactions to it. A dead promise entered the task queue, and the final microtask checkpoint dereferenced it. Fix: every value that outlives an allocation or a user-JS call in these functions now lives in a `RuntimeHandleScope` handle — a mutable GC root that the evacuating minor rewrites in place — and each use re-reads through the handle instead of a cached local. That covers the returned wrapper, the resolving closures, the thenable receiver and its `then` action, and, in `callbackify_outer_thunk`, `returned` across its two closure allocations and `js_assimilate_thenable`, plus `callable_then_field`'s receiver across the `"then"` intern. Evidence (perrymaster, x86_64 Linux): - unfixed: rc=139 on 5/5 default runs, and under PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1, PERRY_GC_SCAVENGE_NURSERY_MB=1, PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE=1 and PERRY_GC_MOVING_SAFEPOINT=0; fixed: rc=0 on 10/10 default runs and 3/3 in every mode above. - PERRY_GC_MOVING_LOOP_POLLS=0 makes even the UNFIXED build pass — the control that names the moving minor inside `then` as the mechanism. - PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1 on the unfixed build faults at `cmpb $0x5,-0x8(%rbp)` inside `callbackify_outer_thunk` and reports "RETIRED FROM-SPACE ... obj_type=5 size=80" — the wrapper Promise. - `./run_parity_tests.sh --filter test_gap_9539_callbackify_thenable_exit_gc`: 1/1 PASS. - `cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib -- --test-threads=1`: 3011 passed, 0 failed. New unit coverage in `gc/tests/runtime_roots/thenable_assimilation.rs` drives a native `then` that forces a copying minor before calling `resolve(1)` and asserts the returned wrapper is the one that got settled; it fails `Pending != Fulfilled` on the unfixed runtime. No version bump. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Wxt5JHraqLoMdUCPVkX1hJ

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert callback completion and callback values.
The harness passes when Node and Perry produce matching output and exit status. Since check only validates c.run() and the callback ignores both parameters, a missing callback or wrong value can still pass. Count callback invocations and assert no error and the expected value for each call.

Fixes #9539
Symptom
util.callbackify(fn)(cb)wherefnreturns an object-literal thenable whosethenallocates heavily and resolves synchronously printed every callback'scorrect result and then SIGSEGV'd at exit (status 139) inside
promise::microtasks::pump_protected. Node v26.8.1 prints the same line andexits 0. Deterministic on current
main(5/5 runs,8d27f7b96).Root cause
promise::assimilate::assimilate_via_then_property— and the class-vtable armof
js_assimilate_thenable— do this:Promise;resolve/rejectclosures that capture its address;then(resolve, reject);*mut PromiseRust local and return it.Step 3 runs arbitrary user code. With the moving nursery (default-on) a loop
safepoint inside that
thenbody runs an evacuating young collection. Thewrapper itself survives and is relocated: the resolving closures are live, and
their raw-
i64capture words are pointer-bearing bygc::layout::layout_pointer_bearing_bits, so the collector rewrites them — whichis why
resolve(1)correctly settles the promise at its new address.The Rust local is not a GC root and nothing rewrites it, so step 4 returned the
pre-collection address, i.e. retired from-space.
callbackify_outer_thunkthen took that word, classified it(
promise_ptr_from_value→js_value_is_promisereads its GC header), rootedit, and called
js_promise_attach_handlerson it. A dead promise entered thereaction/task plumbing, and the exit-time microtask checkpoint dereferenced it —
hence a crash in
pump_protectedeven though every callback had alreadyproduced the right answer.
Two independent measurements pin this:
PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1on the unfixed build faults atcmpb $0x5,-0x8(%rbp)insidecallbackify_outer_thunk(theobj_type == GC_TYPE_PROMISEtest ofjs_value_is_promise) and reportsRETIRED FROM-SPACE … last-known object: obj_type=5 size=80— aPromise.PERRY_GC_MOVING_LOOP_POLLS=0makes even the unfixed build exit 0. Turningoff the moving minor inside loops removes the relocation, and the bug with it.
The fix, and why the root stays valid
Every value that outlives an allocation or a user-JS call in these functions is
now held in a
gc::RuntimeHandleScopehandle, and every later use re-readsthrough the handle instead of a cached local.
A
RuntimeHandleSlotis a mutable GC root:scan_runtime_handle_roots_muthands each slot to the collector's
RuntimeRootVisitoras a writable location(
visit_tagged_usize_slot/visit_nanbox_u64_slot), so an evacuating minorboth keeps the object alive and writes the forwarded address back into the slot.
Reading
promise_handle.get_raw_mut_ptr::<Promise>()after the callbacktherefore yields the post-collection address by construction — the same
mechanism
#7497and#9445already rely on elsewhere in this module. Handlescopes also survive a JS throw out of the callback:
longjmpskipsDrop, andruntime_handle_stack_restoretruncates the stack at the trap's savepoint.Covered by this change:
assimilate_via_then_property— the wrapper promise (the crashing one), thethenable receiver, the
thenaction, the two resolving closures, and theearly rejected-wrapper return.
js_assimilate_thenable's vtable arm — the same shape, same fix.callbackify_outer_thunk—returnedacross its twojs_closure_alloccalls, across
js_assimilate_thenable(which runs the userthen), and ateach later use.
callable_then_field— the receiver across the"then"intern, whichallocates before the raw object pointer is used.
