Summary

Fixes #14703.

On --target web, super.m() in an object-literal method returned undefined. Three pieces were missing:

• Defining the keys. A literal with __proto__: p, or with a method that uses super, is built by a helper. The helper defines each static key with js_object_literal_define, and the WASM emitter bound no implementation for it. The call was dropped, so the literal came out with no own keys at all.
• Setting the prototype. js_object_literal_set_prototype was dropped the same way, so the literal had no prototype.
• The super call. Expr::ObjectSuperMethodCall with an object-literal home had no arm, and the catch-all emitted undefined.

The two externs now go to new bridges through the existing extern-to-bridge table in expr/calls.rs:

• object_literal_define defines the key as a data property, so a setter on the prototype does not run.
• object_literal_set_prototype accepts only an object or null, as the native runtime does.

ObjectSuperMethodCall outside a class body now calls object_super_call(home, key, receiver, args). The home is the literal, so the bridge reads the method from the literal's [[Prototype]] with receiver as the receiver, then calls it.

Relation to #14666 and #14664

• fix(wasm): super.m() runs the parent's method #14666 handles ObjectSuperMethodCall only when current_class is set. This arm has the opposite guard (current_class.is_none()), so the two arms never overlap.
  • On main alone, class methods do not set current_class yet, so a class method's super.m() reaches this arm. Its home there is the unbound ClassMethodHome, so the bridge returns undefined, as main does today. The only change is that its arguments are now evaluated.
  • git merge-tree against public/fix/wasm-super-method-call reports one conflict: both branches append a test at the end of emit/tests.rs. Keeping both blocks resolves it.
• fix(wasm): a closure used as a value is a function #14664 is needed for o.hi() written directly. On main, a closure property called through its object is not run. The new test therefore reads each method first (const hi = o.hi; hi()).
• All three combined. On a tree with this PR, fix(wasm): super.m() runs the parent's method #14666 and fix(wasm): a closure used as a value is a function #14664 merged (tests.rs blocks kept), cargo test --release -p perry-codegen-wasm --lib gives 87 passed / 0 failed. That run included a temporary test with this issue's direct repro (o.hi() prints o>base) and an object literal that uses super inside a class method that calls super.m() (B>A|lit>base).

Not covered here, and still dropped on web in the same helper: computed keys (js_object_literal_set_computed), accessors (js_object_define_accessor) and spreads (js_object_literal_spread). super.x reads (ObjectSuperPropertyGet) are not covered either. Separately, this inside an object-literal method is not bound on web, so receiver reaches host functions but not WASM closures.

Changed: crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/expr/objects.rs, emit/expr/calls.rs, emit/string_collection.rs, wasm_runtime.js (+ a test in emit/tests.rs).

Test plan

Run on macOS arm64. Each result was compared with a pristine build of main:

• Repro from wasm/web: super.m() in an object-literal method returns undefined; { __proto__: p } is ignored #14703 with perry compile f.ts --target web. On main it prints undefined / undefined. With this PR it prints o>base / object. Node prints o>base / function: the remaining typeof difference is fix(wasm): a closure used as a value is a function #14664's typeof fix for closures.
• cargo test --release -p perry-codegen-wasm --lib: 77 passed / 0 failed (main: 76). The new test is an_object_literal_super_call_starts_at_the_literals_prototype. It covers super.hi(), super.greet(x), a computed super[k]() two levels deep, and an inherited method read through __proto__.
  • With the source changes reverted, it fails with undefined on every line.
  • With only the ObjectSuperMethodCall arm reverted, it fails on the super lines (o>undefined). The __proto__ line still passes.
  • Restoring the fix gives byte-identical files (shasum checked).
• bash tests/integration/wasm/run_wasm_tests.sh: 30 / 3, with the same PASS/FAIL lines as main (04_functions, 10_higher_order and 19_ffi_imports fail on both).
• cargo clippy --release -p perry-codegen-wasm --all-targets: the warning set is the same as main's. rustfmt --check --edition 2021 passes on the changed .rs files.
• BASE_SHA=<merge-base> SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 bash scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: the FAIL set (20 gates, environment-dependent on this machine) is identical to main's.
• No parity subject owns these paths (scripts/test_owners.py).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed super method calls in object-literal methods on the web target. Calls now look up methods through the literal’s prototype and use the correct receiver, including for computed method names and detached calls.
  • Object literals using __proto__ or methods with super now retain their own properties and prototype as expected.

Walkthrough

The WASM web target now emits object-literal property and prototype operations. It also handles super method calls in object-literal methods by looking up the method on the literal’s prototype.

Changes: Object-literal prototype and super support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Object-literal property and prototype operations crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/expr/calls.rs, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/wasm_runtime.js, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/string_collection.rs	The WASM emitter routes property definition and prototype assignment through runtime bridges. The runtime defines own properties and assigns prototypes only when the value is null, an object, or a function.
Object-literal super method calls crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/expr/objects.rs, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/wasm_runtime.js, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/tests.rs, changelog.d/14706-wasm-object-literal-super.md	The emitter passes the home object, key, receiver, and arguments to object_super_call. The runtime looks up the key on the home object’s prototype and invokes function values through the host-function or closure bridge. The test covers direct and computed lookups, detached calls, and inherited method lookup.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2e42d

On the web target, super calls in object-literal methods now work in the common case. A few rare cases still differ from JavaScript, such as null prototypes, non-callable properties and arguments that change the prototype. Each super call may also keep a small array in memory. These are limited, low-risk follow-ups.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a WASM fix so that super.m() in an object-literal method looks up the literal's prototype. The changeset adds object-literal key definition, prototype setting, and an ObjectSuperMethodCall arm that calls object_super_call, which matches the title's scope.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main sections: Summary, Changes (listed as files and logical items), Related issue (Fixes #14703), and Test plan with detailed verification. It omits the template's checklist boxes for cargo build and the workspace test command, and the Changes section is prose rather than a bullet list. These gaps are non-critical, and the description is thorough and specific.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #14703 requires two web-target behaviors: (1) { __proto__: p } must set the literal's prototype, and (2) super.m() in an object-literal method must call the method found on the literal's prototype. The PR addresses both. (1) js_object_literal_set_prototype now routes to a new object_literal_set_prototype bridge in wasm_runtime.js. That bridge sets the prototype only when the value is an object, a function, or null. (2) Expr::ObjectSuperMethodCall with current_class.is_none() now emits object_super_call(home, key, receiver, args) in objects.rs. The bridge reads the home's [[Prototype]] and calls the method with receiver. Keys from js_object_literal_define are also defined through a new bridge, which keeps the literal's own keys. The added test an_object_literal_super_call_starts_at_the_literals_prototype covers the super call and the __proto__ inheritance case. The issue repro, as stated in the PR, changes from undefined to o>base. One residual difference: the repro's typeof inherited line prints object instead of function. The linked context and PR objectives attribute closure typeof behavior to #14664, which is separate work, so this is not counted as an unmet requirement here. Test results come from the PR author; this assessment did not re-run the test suite.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed paths support the issue objectives. objects.rs adds the ObjectSuperMethodCall arm. calls.rs routes the two externs to bridges. string_collection.rs pre-interns the three new bridge names. wasm_runtime.js adds the three bridges. emit/tests.rs adds the regression test. The changelog entry documents the fix. The PR does not implement computed keys, accessors, spreads, super.x reads, or closure this binding. It states these as not covered, and they are not in the changes. The ObjectSuperMethodCall arm applies only outside a class body. The PR describes the class-method case as already returning undefined on main, so the only added effect there is argument evaluation. That effect is minor and connected to the same arm.

Avoid permanently retaining a scratch array for every super call.

Even super.m() now creates a fresh runtime array through array_new. That array enters the strong handleStore map, which has no release path in the supplied runtime. Repeated calls therefore retain one unused array per completed call. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Pass argument slots directly to a variadic bridge, or provide a safe lifetime for this compiler-created array. Resolving the method earlier does not remove this retention.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift

Resolve the super method before evaluating its arguments.

If an argument changes the literal's prototype, this code calls the wrong method. For example, super.m(Object.setPrototypeOf(o, replacement)) evaluates the prototype change on Line 23. The runtime then reads replacement.m. JavaScript must resolve the original m before evaluating that argument. Split lookup from invocation and preserve the resolved callable across argument evaluation. (tc39.es)

Throw when the literal has a null prototype.

For const o = { __proto__: null, m() { return super.m(); } }; const m = o.m; m();, this branch returns undefined. The super property access must throw TypeError, so this return also skips an enclosing catch. Replace the silent return with an error that mem_call can propagate. (tc39.es)

Reject non-callable super properties before closure dispatch.

If the prototype contains m: 1, super.m() reaches closure_call_spread(1, args). Its missing-funcIdx guard returns undefined. The call must throw TypeError, not complete normally. Preserve the valid Perry-closure path, but explicitly reject values that are neither host functions nor Perry closures. Fixing the null-prototype branch does not fix this case. (tc39.es)
