Summary

Refs #14633, Refs #14595. An async function body on --target web is emitted as JavaScript by crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/js_fallback.rs. When the emitter met an expression it did not handle, it wrote undefined. This PR fixes case 3 of #14633 and three more cases found in review. I did not use Fixes: case 1 no longer reproduces on main, and case 2 is fixed by #14664.

#14633 case 1 (module-level variable read from an async body): does not reproduce on main. The issue's repro prints 1 on main, which matches Node. a69bd3c (#14250) fixed it: the Expr::LocalGet arm in emit_js_expr now reads a module-level let/const through its exported WASM global. That commit merged shortly after the issue was opened.

#14633 case 2 (a closure stored on an object, called from an async body): fixed by #14664, not here. On main and on this branch the repro prints threw TypeError: go is not a function. With #14664's files at head 5ab5cbd, it prints ok. #14664 marks closures in a WeakSet, and __jsMethodInvoke calls a marked closure through closure_call_spread. The two branches merge cleanly in js_fallback.rs. The only conflict is that both append tests at the end of emit/tests.rs.

#14633 case 3 (Object.keys(o).join("|") in an async body printed undefined): fixed.

• emit_js_expr had no arms for Expr::ObjectKeys, ObjectValues, ObjectEntries or ArrayJoin, so each one emitted undefined. These arms are added now.
• The Expr::New arm of emit_js_expr created user-class instances with an enumerable __class__ key. After the first fix, Object.keys therefore listed __class__. The arm now uses __classInstance, the non-enumerable tag the WASM arm already uses.

for…of over an array in an async body threw ReferenceError: __l15 is not defined (Refs #14595): fixed.

• The for-of lowering first asks __perry_runtime.arrayRecordNeedsIterator(src). The NativeMethodCall arm of emit_js_expr emitted undefined for that call, so the iterator path always ran. The arm now answers through the same __memDispatch.rt_arrayRecordNeedsIterator bridge the WASM arm calls.
• Expr::Update (i++, --k) also emitted undefined, so the loop counter never moved. It is now emitted, with the postfix form returning the old value. Module-level let globals are handled through the new helper emit_js_local_set, which the LocalSet arm now shares.

A catch block that reads a local declared in its try threw ReferenceError: __l3 is not defined (Refs #14595): fixed. HIR locals are function-scoped, like WASM locals. emit_js_stmt declared them with a block-scoped let. The try/finally lowering sets a flag inside try and reads it in catch/finally, and the iterator path of for-of does the same. Locals are now declared with var. The JS emitter does not emit closures, so no closure can capture a loop variable and see the difference.

Gap left open, now reported instead of hidden. The JS emitter still does not handle the rest of the iterator protocol: for-of over a Set, Map or generator, and array destructuring. Once var removed the ReferenceError, those paths would have run on and produced wrong values ("", undefined,undefined). Any other __perry_runtime intrinsic now throws TypeError: <intrinsic> is not supported in an async function body on the web target, so the async function rejects. Handling those intrinsics in the JS emitter (iteratorStep, arrayRecordFor*, GetIterator and about 10 others, some with lazy operand order) is the next piece of #14595.

Changed paths

• crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/js_fallback.rs: the arms above, plus the emit_js_local_set helper
• crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/tests.rs: 4 unit tests

Test plan

Run on macOS arm64 with Node v26.12.1. "main" is upstream/main. The reference perry binary was built at 4d4391a; no commit since then, through fee15e5, touches crates/perry-codegen-wasm. This branch is rebased on fee15e5, 0 commits behind.

Repros: perry compile f.ts --target web -o f.html, then run the page under Node with a DOM stub.

• cargo test --release -p perry-codegen-wasm: 80 passed, re-run after the rebase. Each new test fails without its fix:
  • On main, async_body_lists_an_objects_keys_values_and_entries gets "undefined undefined undefined".
  • On main, async_body_runs_for_of_over_an_array_and_update_expressions gets "threw ReferenceError: __l22 is not defined".
  • With var reverted to let, async_body_catch_reads_a_local_the_try_block_declared gets "threw ReferenceError: __l3 is not defined".
  • Without the throwing arm, async_body_rejects_iteration_it_cannot_emit gets "undefined,undefined".
• Mutation checks: each piece of the fix was reverted on its own, with the tests kept. Each revert failed its test: the Object.keys arms, the join arm, __classInstance (which lists __class__|a|b), the Update arm, the arrayRecordNeedsIterator arm, var, and the throwing arm. After each restore the shasum matched the original.
• rustfmt --check --edition 2021 on both changed .rs files: clean.
• cargo clippy --release -p perry-codegen-wasm: no warning points at js_fallback.rs.
• bash tests/integration/wasm/run_wasm_tests.sh: 30 passed, 3 failed on both main and this branch. The same three cases fail on both: 04_functions, 10_higher_order, 19_ffi_imports.
• BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base HEAD upstream/main) SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 bash scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: the same 20 FAIL entries as main at fee15e5, no new ones. check_file_size.sh names neither changed file.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to b2886

In async functions compiled with --target web, a logical expression whose left side has side effects, such as i++ || 0, runs that side effect twice and yields wrong values. The rest of the change looks sound, and the unsupported iterator cases now fail loudly with a named TypeError. Fix the single-evaluation issue in the logical emitters before merging.

Major · Evaluate a logical left operand once in the JavaScript fallback. · js_fallback.rs:337-339

crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/js_fallback.rs:337-339
Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Evaluate a logical left operand once in the JavaScript fallback.

LogicalOp::And, Or, and Coalesce emit the left operand string more than once. HIR lowering builds Expr::Logical directly from the lowered operands, so an Expr::Update can stay as the left operand. For let i = 1; const v = i++ || 0;, the emitted condition runs the update (i becomes 2, value 1, truthy). The Or branch then evaluates the update again (i becomes 3, value 2). The result is i === 3 and v === 2, instead of i === 2 and v === 1. And repeats the left operand when its value is falsy. Coalesce repeats it whenever the value is not null.

Evaluate the left operand once. Store its value in a temporary, then select the result from that temporary. Keep the right operand in the enclosing async function body. Do not wrap it in a non-async arrow function, because an await in the right operand would then be a syntax error.

Update the `LogicalOp::And`, `LogicalOp::Or`, and `LogicalOp::Coalesce` emission so each evaluates its left operand exactly once, stores that value in a temporary, and uses the temporary for both the condition and selected result. Keep the right operand in the enclosing async function body so any `await` remains valid, without wrapping it in a non-async arrow function.
