Two changes that belong together: the JIT's arithmetic stops giving answers the
interpreter would not give, and a new aot feature compiles eligible functions
on their first call.

The second is only safe because of the first. __jit__() was opt-in, so its
wrong answers and its SIGILLs were the caller's problem. Compiling
automatically makes them everyone's.

Deoptimization instead of trapping or wrapping

Every arithmetic operation that could leave the machine's 64-bit world now
tests its own precondition before it computes. When the test fails the
compiled code writes the live locals and the value stack into a buffer the
caller passed in, and returns. The interpreter rebuilds the frame from that
record and re-executes the instruction that owns the guard, from its start —
so the bignum, the exception, or the complex number comes from the interpreter,
which is the only thing that knows how to produce it.

The record is a flat buffer: slot 0 is the status (0 = returned normally,
otherwise it identifies the guard that fired), slot 1 is the bound mask, and
slots 2 and up are the listed locals in varname order followed by the value
stack. Guards whose site cannot describe every local that could be bound there
return
Outcome::Restart instead, and the interpreter runs the function from the top.

Guarded: +, -, unary -, *, //, %, **, <<, >>, /, and float
/ and **. The masks are tight rather than conservative — integer ** is
square-and-multiply and computes products it then discards, so each
multiplication's guard is masked with the condition under which its product is
actually read; guarding on the bare overflow flag would deoptimize 2 ** 33.

What that fixes

before after
1e100 ** 1e50 under __jit__() SIGILL, process death OverflowError
2 ** -2 0 0.25
(1 << 62) * 4 wrapped the bignum
1.0 / 0.0 a float infinity ZeroDivisionError
(-8.0) ** 0.5 a float complex
-x at -2**63 wrapped the bignum
sys.settrace over a compiled call no events the full event list

extra_tests/snippets/jit.py runs the whole table by exec'ing a fresh pair of
functions per case, JIT-compiling one, and comparing value, exception type, and
result type.

The aot feature

Off unless built with --features aot, and then -X aot=0 or
RUSTPYTHON_AOT=0 turns it off again. Default builds are untouched.

With it on, a function is counted as it is called and offered to the compiler
once it has been called often enough to repay one, on the types the arguments
of that call carry. A pre-filter rejects what the compiler cannot lower before
any compilation is attempted; compile() re-checks independently rather than
trusting it.

Types come from the call rather than from annotations because almost nothing is
annotated the way the compiler needs: seven functions in the whole of Lib/
annotate every parameter and the return int, float or bool, and the
compiler turns all seven down for other reasons. A call carries the types the
function is actually being used with, and every argument handed to compiled
code is type-checked, so a guess that turns out wrong costs a fall back to the
interpreter rather than a wrong answer. __jit__() still reads annotations.

Waiting for a function to be warm is also what makes the feature free when it
finds nothing: the eligibility scan used to be spent on every function a
program calls once, which is most of them.

The automatic path is strict where the explicit one is permissive: it refuses
to compile a self-call into a direct call, because the interpreter re-reads the
global on every call and a name rebound later — a decorator, a test patch —
would make the compiled call disagree.

Calls are interpreted, not compiled, while a tracer or a sys.monitoring tool
is installed, so debugging and profiling see every event they would see
without the feature.

The README's JIT section now covers both forms — the jit feature's explicit
__jit__() and the aot feature's automatic path — with the switches, the
sys._jit introspection, and what the automatic path takes and turns down.

Verification

  • cargo test -p rustpython-jit — 123 tests
  • extra_tests/snippets/jit.py, and aot.py under -X aot=1 and -X aot=0,
    both added to the Linux CI job; aot.py warms each function with the
    arguments the assertion under it means to test, so the assertions run
    against compiled code
  • a differential fuzzer on the automatic path: 2,000 generated functions,
    14,000 comparisons against the interpreter, 0 divergences

Known limitations

  • Control-flow merges reached with a non-empty stack are refused. The
    compiler does not reconcile its abstract value stack at a merge, so a
    conditional expression used inside a larger expression is not compiled at
    all. This is a stopgap for a latent wrong-answer bug that predates this
    branch — (a if b else c) + (b if c else a) on (1, 2, 3) compiled to 5
    where the interpreter and CPython both say 3. Proper reconciliation
    (snapshot the stack at first arrival, pass the entries as block parameters)
    is follow-up work. Statement-level if, if/else and while are
    unaffected, and the rule costs nothing measurable: the 24-function numeric
    corpus and every function the automatic path attempts at startup behave
    identically with and without it.

  • Little real code qualifies. Counted with sys._jit._stats() over the
    workload itself rather than estimated: importing 25 stdlib modules compiles 0
    of 87 functions the compiler is asked about, and nbody, mandelbrot, fannkuch,
    nqueens, pidigits, richards, deltablue, float and json_loads compile 0 of 1,
    1, 1, 1, 4, 19, 40, 3 and 26. Walking every function body in Lib/ through
    the pre-filter says why: LOAD_ATTR blocks 42%, an exception table 14%, a
    closure 6%, and of the 6.3% that get through, 50 take an argument and do
    arithmetic and are longer than ten instructions. Opening those needs the
    interpreter inside compiled code, which is a different compiler.

    What it does reach is unannotated numeric code, which it could not touch
    before: three such functions run 1.7x, 2.2x and 27x faster here. And it is
    now free where it finds nothing — the same import-heavy startup costs the
    same with the feature on as with it off, against 6.8% more when every
    function was scanned on its first call. Benchmarking with aot on measures
    that it does not break, not that it is faster.

Leaving a compiled loop

A compiled loop used to run to its end whatever the interpreter wanted of the
thread: it answered no pending signal, parked for no stop-the-world, and did not
stop when the interpreter began shutting down. That is worse than a delayed
SIGINT. A gc.collect() from another thread, or the shutdown that joins a
daemon thread, waits for every other thread to reach a safepoint — so a thread
inside a compiled loop hung the process outright. Both reproduce in a dozen
lines and both are fixed here.

Every reason a thread has to leave the bytecode loop now sets a bit in the
eval-breaker word before it becomes true of any single thread: a stop-the-world
span while it is open, and shutdown once it starts. A backward jump loads that
byte and leaves through the deopt exit when it is not zero. Leaving that way is
no verdict on the code, so the code stays installed and only the interrupted
call finishes interpreted — Outcome::Interrupted, as against the
Outcome::Deopt a guard produces, which still drops the code.

The fall-through is a load, a compare and a branch per iteration.

extra_tests/snippets/aot.py now spins a thread in a compiled loop and collects
from the main thread, and the CI suite step runs test_threading with the
feature on. Neither asserts anything: both either return or they do not.

Both bits are spans in a word every interpreter in the process shares, so both
are counted rather than set: a subinterpreter is finalized while the
interpreter that owns it is finalizing, and a stop-the-world can be open in two
interpreters at once. A bit left behind is not a correctness bug but an
expensive one - the interpreter that outlives the span reads a non-zero word on
every instruction and takes the eval-breaker slow path for the rest of the
process, which measured 78 ms against 212 ms for the same integer loop.

Two interpreter bugs found in passing, now fixed

0 / -1 gave 0.0 where CPython gives -0.0 — a rational carries no signed
zero, and only an exactly zero numerator lost the sign this way. 0.0 ** -0.0
raised ZeroDivisionError where CPython gives 1.0, and (-0.0) ** 0.5 went to
the complex branch where CPython gives 0.0: float_pow asked
is_sign_negative, which is true of -0.0. The compiled code agreed with
CPython on all three and disagreed with the interpreter, which is the wrong way
round for a compiler whose contract is that it changes nothing.

Every commit carries an Assisted-by: Claude trailer — the branch was written
with Claude Code and reviewed per task and then as a whole.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The JIT now uses a slot-buffer ABI and interpreter deoptimization. The VM adds automatic AOT compilation, safety modes, deoptimized-frame resumption, runtime controls, statistics, safepoint polling, and expanded frame inspection. Tests and documentation cover these paths.

JIT runtime and compiler

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime ABI and engine
crates/jit/src/lib.rs, crates/jit/tests/*, crates/jit/Cargo.toml
Replaces libffi calls with fixed slots, shared engine ownership, typed outcomes, and deoptimization records.
Compiler guards and lowering
crates/jit/src/instructions.rs, crates/jit/tests/deopt_tests.rs, crates/jit/tests/support_tests.rs, crates/jit/tests/{float_tests,int_tests}.rs
Adds spill-based deoptimization for arithmetic edge cases, recursive calls, and unsupported stack merges.

VM integration and AOT

Layer / File(s) Summary
AOT state and resumption
crates/vm/src/builtins/function*, crates/vm/src/builtins/code.rs, crates/vm/src/stdlib/sys.rs, crates/vm/src/vm/setting.rs, crates/vm/src/vm/mod.rs
Adds warm-call compilation, cached eligibility, argument-type observation, statistics, outcome handling, and deoptimized-frame reconstruction.
Frame and signal integration
crates/vm/src/builtins/frame.rs, crates/vm/src/frame.rs, crates/vm/src/signal.rs, crates/vm/src/vm/{interpreter,mod}.rs, crates/capi/src/pyframe.rs, crates/vm/src/warn.rs
Updates live frame inspection, cross-thread frame chains, call specialization, safepoint signaling, finalization state, and floating-point semantics.
Configuration and validation
Cargo.toml, crates/vm/Cargo.toml, src/settings.rs, .github/workflows/ci.yaml, README.md, extra_tests/snippets/*, .cspell*
Adds AOT feature and runtime controls, documents compilation behavior, extends integration tests, and updates spell-check dictionaries.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ffb27

The AOT and deoptimization changes are not ready to merge because concurrent code replacement can leave stale compiled code installed and potentially panic. Shutdown behavior, valid-call handling, and test failures also remain unresolved.

Use numeric negativity for float-power guards.

compile_fpow and float_pow treat -0.0 as a negative exponent or base. This incorrectly handles 0.0 ** -0.0 and (-0.0) ** 0.5, which return 1.0 and 0.0. Update both guards and the affected tests.

Gate is_enabled() on JIT availability.

Line 25 can return true in a build without the jit feature when -X aot=1 or RUSTPYTHON_AOT=1 sets settings.aot. In that build, is_available() returns false and AOT cannot run. Return cfg!(feature = "jit") && vm.state.config.settings.aot so _jit.is_enabled() does not advertise an unavailable execution mode.

`compile` built a fresh `JITModule` per function and handed its ownership
to `CompiledCode`, which freed the module on drop. Introduce `JitEngine`,
which holds one module behind a mutex and hands out `CompiledCode` values
that keep the engine alive through an `Arc`; the module memory is freed in
`JitEngine::drop`. The free `compile` function stays as a wrapper over a
single-use engine.

Sharing the module surfaced two states that a per-function module could
not reach:

- Symbol names came from `obj_name`, which repeats across functions and
  collided as `Duplicate definition`. Names now carry a per-engine counter.
- A rejected function left the codegen context populated and the
  `FunctionBuilderContext` un-finalized, so the next `FunctionBuilder::new`
  panicked. `build_function` now clears the codegen context on every path
  and replaces the builder context when compilation fails.

Compiled arithmetic does not always answer the way the interpreter does:

- Integer `+`, `-` and unary `-` trap on overflow, `//`, `%` and `/` trap
  on a zero divisor, and `<<`/`>>` trap on a negative count. Nothing
  installs a trap handler, so each of these aborts the process where the
  interpreter would widen to a big integer or raise.
- Integer `*` is a bare `imul` and wraps silently.
- Float `/` is a bare `fdiv`, returning inf instead of raising
  ZeroDivisionError, and float `**` neither raises for `0.0 ** -1.0` nor
  produces the complex result Python gives for a negative base.

`Safety::Strict` rejects those; `Safety::Permissive` keeps compiling them
and stays the behaviour of the free `compile` function and of `__jit__`.
Integer bitwise operations, comparisons, float `+ - *`, and int-to-float
mixed `+ - *` are faithful and remain available under Strict.

Rejection tests assert that Permissive compiles the same source, so they
cannot pass on an unrelated compile failure.

A caller that compiles without being asked needs to rule out hopeless code
objects before paying for annotation lookup and codegen setup.
`supports_code` makes one pass over the bytecode and rejects the shapes the
compiler has no lowering for: varargs, generators and coroutines, a
non-empty exception table, cells and frees, and any unsupported opcode.

The opcode predicate mirrors the match in `add_instruction` and only has to
be right in one direction, which the doc comment records: a wrong "yes"
wastes a compile attempt and a wrong "no" costs an optimization, and
neither produces wrong code.

Assisted-by: Claude
`__jit__()` had to be called by hand. Under the new `aot` feature every
function gets one automatic compile attempt the first time it is called,
and `__jit__()` stays available.

Automatic compilation answers to different rules than a requested one, so
it is a separate path:

- It compiles with `Safety::Strict`, which turns down anything that can
  trap or wrap. `__jit__()` still compiles permissively and still raises
  `JitError` when it cannot; `__jit__(force=True)` compiles again over
  code a function already has, and retries one the automatic path turned
  down.
- Failure is silent. Reading `__annotations__` runs `__annotate__`, which
  is Python code that can raise, so the attempt is made only after
  `supports_code` has ruled out the shapes with no compiled form, and the
  function claims itself before evaluating anything that can call back
  into it.
- A function whose arguments do not fit its compiled signature is handed
  back to the interpreter on the first mismatch instead of retrying the
  conversion on every call. Only automatically compiled code is handed
  back; `__jit__()` is a standing request.

Call state moves from the `jitted_code` mutex to a `jit_state` atomic, so
the per-call check is a relaxed load rather than a lock. The frame's
specialization sites ask `requires_jit_entry`, which also yields for a
function that has not had its attempt yet - otherwise a specialized call
would skip the entry point where compilation happens. The bytecode
pre-filter verdict is cached on the code object, so it runs once no matter
how many functions are built from it.

The engine now lives on `PyGlobalState`, so one module holds the code for
the whole interpreter instead of one per function.

`-X aot=0|1` and `RUSTPYTHON_AOT=0|1` toggle it; the feature sets the
default. `sys._jit.is_available()` and `is_enabled()` now report the truth
instead of a `false` stub, and `sys._jit._stats()` returns
`(compiled, rejected, deoptimized)`.

`LoadGlobal` resolves the one global it accepts - the function itself - by
comparing names. The interpreter reads the globals dict on every call, so
once the name is rebound the two disagree about what runs: a decorator
applied after the definition, or a test patching the module, and the
compiled code keeps calling its old self.

Strict now turns down `LoadGlobal`, which costs it self-recursion.
`__jit__()` compiles permissively and is unchanged.

The snippet asserts a rebound name is observable through a recursive
function, so loosening this without a real guard fails the test.

Assisted-by: Claude
Automatic compilation is only correct if it changes nothing, so the
snippet has to pass identically with `-X aot=1` and `-X aot=0`. Also runs
the existing jit snippet against the same build.

Assisted-by: Claude
Automatic compilation reads `__annotations__`, which under PEP 649 runs
`__annotate__` - Python code that can raise. Discarding every error along
with the compile attempt also discarded a KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit
that happened to land there, losing a signal the program was owed.

Errors that are `Exception` subclasses stay discarded, since a forward
reference raising NameError is no business of a compile attempt nobody
asked for. Anything else propagates.

The snippet covers both: a forward reference leaves the function
interpreted and its annotations still unresolved, and a BaseException from
an annotation expression reaches the caller.

Assisted-by: Claude
Every snippet also runs under CPython, which has its own `sys._jit`. On a
CPython built with its JIT enabled, `is_enabled()` is true and the checks
below it would reach for `_stats`, which only RustPython has. Gate on both.

`invoke_raw` called `JitSig::to_cif` on every invocation, rebuilding the
libffi description of the signature - and the allocation behind it - for
each call. Build it when the function is compiled and keep it in
`CompiledCode`.

Assisted-by: Claude
Turning down the self-call under Strict left two branches with identical
bodies. State the one condition that admits a self-call instead.

Assisted-by: Claude
Every compiled function now gets a second entry point compiled alongside
it, taking a flat buffer of 64-bit slots and unpacking them into the
parameters the body takes. Calling it is an indirect call to a plain
function pointer, so the three per-call allocations and the libffi
dependency are gone, along with the union used to read the result back.

Arguments travel in a fixed-size array, so a function with more than 16
parameters is now rejected instead of compiled.

Assisted-by: Claude
Hold `defaults_and_kwdefaults` across the argument fill instead of
cloning the pair on every call; filling a slot from a default reads the
object but never runs Python code.

Import `Arc` from `alloc` and name the `AbiValue` variants through
`Self`, both of which clippy only reports when the jit feature is on.

Assisted-by: Claude
The interpreter loop updated `prev_line` from the locations table on
every instruction so that `f_lineno` could read it. `lasti` is already
advanced past the instruction being executed before that instruction
runs, so `locations[lasti - 1]` is its line; `f_lineno` now reads the
live `lasti` and looks the line up on demand.

That leaves `prev_line` carrying only the line a LINE event last fired
at, so the updates the instrumented paths made for `f_lineno` are gone
as well.

Assisted-by: Claude
The entry point takes a third pointer, zeroes its status slot, and hands
it to the body as the body's first parameter. Recursive calls forward it,
and pass their arguments the right way round.

`invoke` now returns an `Outcome` of a normal return or a `DeoptState`;
nothing writes a non-zero status yet, so the deopt arm is unreachable.

The interpreter answers a deopt by dropping the compiled code and running
the call again from the start, whether the code was compiled on its own or
on request.

Assisted-by: Claude
A site records the resume offset, the type of every live local, and one
entry per value-stack slot; the guard writes their values, a bound mask,
and the site index into the deopt buffer, then leaves through a shared
exit block. A stack entry that is the same on every path reaching the
site - the callable a self-call pushes, and the null beside it - is
described by the site instead of occupying a slot.

Integer addition is the first operation to use it: it hands its operands
back where the sum stops fitting in 64 bits, instead of trapping. The
jit snippet covers that case, so the fallback to interpreting the call
is exercised by the test suite.

A self-call shares the caller's buffer, so after one the caller checks
the status and leaves through the same exit when a nested frame gave up,
rather than computing on the filler that frame returned. It leaves the
nested frame's record standing.

Assisted-by: Claude
Subtraction, multiplication, negation and the shifts hand the operands
back to the interpreter where the answer stops fitting in 64 bits, where
a shift count is out of range, or where a left shift loses bits.

The bit index is the varname slot, including slots whose entry is

sdiv rounds toward zero and srem takes the dividend's sign; both are
corrected on the condition they disagree. A zero divisor, i64::MIN // -1,
and a true division whose operands do not fit a double's significand
deoptimize.

Assisted-by: Claude
srem duplicated the sdiv the quotient already computed: cranelift keeps a
trapping division live even when its result goes unused, so a % b cost two
hardware divisions where one suffices. Replaced it with a - quotient * b,
which cannot overflow because the quotient truncates toward zero.

Also: tested the wide-operand guard's divisor half (only the dividend side
had a test), pinned i64::MIN // 1, i64::MIN // 3 and their remainders,
tested that the shared guard deopts i64::MIN % -1 too, corrected the
basic_div comment's threshold, renamed the true-division closure to avoid
colliding with compile_floor_div's local of the same name, and corrected
the comment justifying the quotient correction's overflow safety.

Integer exponentiation stops answering 0 for a negative exponent and
guards every multiplication in its loop. Float division and float
exponentiation deoptimize where the interpreter raises or returns a
complex number.

compile_fpow was neither trap-free nor interpreter-faithful. A
large-magnitude exponent made dd_exp round b * ln|a| to an i64 outside
range, and fcvt_to_sint traps there with no handler - 2.0 ** 1e300 and
similar killed the process. A finite base whose power overflowed a
double returned an infinity instead of raising OverflowError. An
infinite or NaN exponent answered on b alone, ignoring the base, so
several pairs returned a value the interpreter would not. A negative
zero base lost its sign in the zero-base fast path.

Three guards close these, all before compile_fpow's normal blocks or
after its merge, deoptimizing rather than computing a wrong answer:
bounding |b| under 1024 (bounding the product dd_exp rounds, and
written as the negation of an ordered LessThan so an unordered NaN
exponent deopts too), a negative-zero base check by bit pattern, and a
post-merge check that a finite base never produces an infinite result.
With the fractional-exponent guard already excluding non-integral
exponents for a negative base, the two now-unreachable domain-error
branches in compile_fpow are removed.

In compile_ipow, the result multiply's overflow no longer needs
masking by the exponent's low bit: continue_block only runs with
exp != 0, so a clear low bit still forces exp >= 2, and an overflowing
result * base with |base| >= 2 means result * base^exp overflows too,
so a later guard always catches it; with |base| <= 1 the product
cannot overflow at all. The squaring's mask stays, since dropping it
does deopt answers that fit an i64.

The mixed int/float arm's operands array, used only by TrueDivide and
Power, is now built lazily rather than for every arithmetic op. The
mixed-arm zero-divisor test gained -0.0 coverage to match the
float/float test.

Assisted-by: Claude
An old comment in float_tests.rs documented this case as crashing with
an illegal hardware instruction and commented it out rather than fixing
it; the out-of-range-exponent guard added in the previous commit closes
it. Moved it into float_power_deopts_on_an_out_of_range_exponent instead
of leaving it disabled. The expected value the old comment recorded
(1.0000000000000002e+150) was wrong regardless - the true result
overflows a double, which is why the interpreter raises.

…ent bound

The |b| < 1024 guard already deopts any NaN or infinite exponent, which
made Edge Cases 2, 5, and 6 (b is NaN, b == +infinity, b == -infinity)
dead code - the same situation as the domain-error blocks removed
earlier for a negative base. Removed all three blocks along with their
brif splits, leaving the fall-through chain from Edge Case 1 through
Edge Case 8 contiguous.

Pinned nan ** 2.0 in float_tests.rs::basic_power to confirm Edge Case 4
(a is NaN) still answers, since only the exponent is bounded, not the
base. Added a removal note next to (-infinity) ** (-infinity), which
was missing one from the previous commit.

Assisted-by: Claude
Every arithmetic rejection existed because the machine code could trap or
wrap. Both are guarded, so Strict and Permissive now differ only in
whether a self-call may be compiled into a direct call.

crates/jit/tests/float_tests.rs's basic_power test used a relative-epsilon
comparison that absorbed a bug in the double-double ln/exp implementation:
compiled float ** lost whole significant digits on a base far from 1
(1023.0 ** 1.0 answered 1022.9277018310074), had no underflow check in
dd_exp so an underflowing result came back as a wrong-signed number of the
wrong magnitude, and an infinite base with a negative exponent answered
+/-inf instead of +/-0.0.

compile_fpow now keeps only the two guards that mirror float_pow's special
cases - zero base with a negative-sign exponent, and a negative-sign base
with a fractional exponent, both read by sign bit rather than by value so a
-0.0 operand is caught the same as a negative one - then calls the same
f64::powf the interpreter calls through an explicit symbol (jit_powf,
registered on the JITBuilder and imported per compiled function) rather
than leaving the JIT to resolve pow through the platform's libm. A guard
after the call catches a finite-operand result that overflowed to infinity,
which raises OverflowError rather than saturating. This removes DDValue and
every dd_* helper (dd_from_f64, dd_from_value, dd_from_parts, dd_to_f64,
dd_neg, dd_add, dd_sub, dd_mul, dd_mul_f64, dd_scale, dd_ln_1p_series,
dd_ln, dd_exp), and the |b| < 1024 exponent bound and negative-zero-base
guard added in an earlier round, both now subsumed by powf's own behavior
and the guards above.

float_tests.rs's basic_power switches from assert_approx_eq! to
assert_bits_eq! throughout, since a call to f64::powf is exact by
construction; four cases that used to be commented out as wrong or
crashing now return the interpreter's exact answer. A new
float_power_matches_far_from_one test sweeps 24 (base, exponent) pairs at
magnitudes far from 1, 20 of which return and 4 of which overflow to
infinity and deoptimize. deopt_tests.rs's float power tests are updated for
the new guard shapes: the zero-base and negative-base tests now also cover
a -0.0 operand, float_power_deopts_on_finite_base_overflow gains the
overflow cases that used to deopt on the removed exponent bound (including
the historical 1e100 ** 1e50 crash case), and the tests for the removed
exponent bound, NaN exponent, and negative-zero base are gone since those
inputs now return rather than deopt.

Also: extra_tests/snippets/aot.py's comment on the automatic-compile count
is corrected (scale, wide, divide, and the rebound countdown, not just
scale); the Safety doc comment in lib.rs now says Strict rejects the whole
function containing a self-call rather than just the call; and
safety_tests.rs's assert_strict_deopts! macro gains an optional good-input
case, used by strict_compiles_int_add, so a regression to an unconditional
deopt cannot leave every test in the file green.

…se the stat floors

A deopt discards a PyFunction's compiled code and leaves it permanently
interpreted, so the third wide() assertion never touched compiled code
after the second one deopted (measured: compiled +0, deopt +0). Moved it
to a new wide2() so it gets its own compile attempt.

The compiled/deoptimized floors at the bottom were both already met
before Strict was allowed to compile arithmetic, so they could not have
caught that gate regressing. Raised them to what this file's current
functions actually produce (compiled >= 5, deoptimized >= 4); left
rejected as a loose floor since it moves with the binary's feature set.

Assisted-by: Claude
The check() table had no row for binary a + b or a - b. Add's overflow
case was only reached incidentally through fib_iter, whose shape could
change without anyone noticing the coverage went with it. Subtract had
no Python-level coverage at all: Subtract's own arm calls
compile_sub(a, b, ...) in call-site order, and UnaryNegative reaches
the same helper through a separate arm with different operand order
and arity, so NEG's existing coverage does not stand in for it.

Assisted-by: Claude
The abstract value stack is not reconciled where control flow merges.
A merged block kept whichever predecessor's operands were lowered last,
and its entries are per-path SSA values, so a merge reached with
operands live produced a wrong answer rather than a rejection:

    def g(a, b):
        return (a if b else b) + (b if a else a)

    g(1, 2) returned 5 compiled and 3 interpreted.

Every edge into a merge now has to arrive with the stack empty, which
is what a statement-level `if`, `if`/`else` or `while` has, and what a
conditional expression or a short-circuit operator does not.
`supports_code` simulates the same depth so the automatic path stops
before the backend rather than inside it.

Assisted-by: Claude
The record's stack was pushed onto a fresh frame slot by slot with no
bound check. A stack longer than the code object's `max_stackdepth`
runs off the end of the frame, where `push_stack_opt` panics rather
than raising, so an ill-formed record aborted the process.

The record's local count, stack depth and resume offset are now
measured against the code object. A record that does not fit is
discarded and the call runs from the start instead.

Assisted-by: Claude
Compiled code runs no frame, so a compiled function reported no call,
no line and no return: `sys.settrace`, `sys.setprofile` and
`sys.monitoring` all observed nothing for it.

The compiled entry now tests `use_tracing` and the monitoring event
mask before it is taken, and the call falls through to the interpreter
while either is set. The function is left compiled, so it is used
again once the tracer is removed.

`CompiledCode::invoke` checked the arity and every slot's type and then

Every other build step in the job passes `--locked`. Without it this

`supports_code` detected a branch with `code.label_targets()` and
`Instruction::label_arg`. Neither answers the question: a jump argument
is a delta, `label_targets` collects that delta rather than the offset
it points at, and `label_arg` reported `None` for the conditional jumps
here. Both halves of the merge clause were therefore dead, and the
pre-filter passed every mid-expression merge on to the backend, which
rejected it.

The walk now resolves targets with `instruction_target`, the function
the compiler resolves them with, over the same de-specialized stream
the compiler consumes. `instruction_target` and the two `jump_target_*`
helpers move out of `FunctionCompiler` to be reachable from here.

A jump's outgoing edge is checked after the instruction's stack effect
rather than before, since a conditional jump has popped the condition
it tested by the time control leaves it - which is the depth the
compiler checks, and what a `while` loop's `POP_JUMP_IF_FALSE` needs to
pass.

`is_available` answers for the `aot` feature rather than `jit`, which is
what `is_enabled` reports and what the switches below reach; explicit
`__jit__()` needs only `jit` and is a separate path.

PYTHON_JIT joins RUSTPYTHON_AOT as a spelling of the same switch. Both
are read before the -X options so an explicit `-X aot` wins, and the
flag is masked with the feature so nothing can turn on a compiler that
was not built in.

The guard deoptimizes where converting an operand to a double is
inexact, but `1 << 53` is the largest magnitude that still converts
exactly, so the bound is strict rather than inclusive. `iabs` leaves
`i64::MIN` negative and the unsigned comparison reads that as
`1 << 63`, which stays past the bound.

Computing f_lineno from the instruction pointer removed the per-instruction
prev_line update, but prev_line is still the key the line event
de-duplicates on. It then only advanced when an event fired, so a frame
that started being traced part way through - a caller with no trace
function of its own, stepped into from a callee's return - compared the
line it was already on against a stale value and reported it as new.

The line is now recorded for every instruction executed while a tracer is
installed, whether or not this frame fires events. Untraced execution,
which is what dropping the update was for, is unaffected.

Assisted-by: Claude
`exit_iframe` recorded the caller of a returning materialized frame through
`materialize_chain`, which hands back a standalone copy when the caller has
no frame object of its own. Nothing links that copy to the caller, so when
the caller returns in turn it finds no frame object to extend, and the chain
ends one link up: `f_back` reached the caller and then None.

Materialize the caller instead, so the caller runs the same block on its own
return and links further up, and drop `materialize_chain`, which had no other
caller. `materialize_slow_chain` keeps making detached copies for the
cross-thread reader that wants them, and is now `threading`-only.

Assisted-by: Claude
A frame object materialized from a running frame carries no `previous` of
its own, and the walk that stands in for it only covers this thread's chain.
A frame belonging to another thread therefore reported no caller at all —
`sys._current_exceptions()` handed back a traceback whose frame was the whole
stack.

`attached_tid` already names the thread that is still running the source
frame. Take it as the gate: stop the world, find the source on that thread's
published chain, and answer from its caller, materializing the rest of that
chain when the caller has no frame object yet.

Assisted-by: Claude
`f_lasti` and `f_lineno` read the live instruction pointer through the walk
of this thread's chain, and fell back to the frame object's own copy when it
missed. That copy only catches up when the source frame returns, so a frame
belonging to another thread reported wherever it stood when it was
materialized rather than where it is now.

Give both getters the same treatment `f_back` has: consult the thread named
by `attached_tid` under stop-the-world. The shared read is now `live_lasti`,
which is what each getter was open-coding.

`fill_locals_from_deopt` stored `lasti` directly, which needs the atomic
trait in scope where that field is a plain cell. `InterpreterFrame` now
carries the setter its getter was already paired with, and a build with
`jit` but without `threading` compiles again.

Assisted-by: Claude
A compiled loop ran to its end whatever the interpreter wanted of the
thread. It answered no pending signal, parked for no stop-the-world, and did
not stop when the interpreter began shutting down, so a `gc.collect()` from
another thread or the shutdown that joins a daemon thread waited on a thread
that could not reach a safepoint. The process hung rather than being delayed.

Every reason a thread has to leave the bytecode loop now sets a bit in the
eval-breaker word before it becomes true of any single thread: a
stop-the-world span while it is open, and shutdown once it starts. The word
is process-global, so a bit says a thread may have to stop, not which one.
A backward jump loads that byte, and leaves through the deopt exit when it
is not zero.

Leaving that way is no verdict on the code, so the code stays installed and
only the interrupted call finishes interpreted: from the record where the
site can describe the frame, and from the start where it cannot. `Outcome`
gains `Interrupted` to tell the two apart from a guard, which still drops
the code. The engine is given the word to poll when it is built, and
compiles no poll at all without one.

The fall-through costs a load, a compare and a branch per iteration.

`float_pow` asked `is_sign_negative`, which is true of `-0.0`, so
`0.0 ** -0.0` raised ZeroDivisionError where it is 1.0, and `(-0.0) ** 0.5`
went to the complex branch where it is 0.0. Both tests now compare against
zero, and whether the exponent is an integer is decided by whether it sits
above its own floor - which answers an infinity and a nan without a case of
its own, where subtracting and comparing against an epsilon answered a nan
by accident and got exponents a hair above an integer wrong.

`compile_fpow` is those guards translated one for one, so it moves with

A rational carries no signed zero, so `true_div` rounded `0 / -1` to `0.0`
where it is `-0.0`. Only an exactly zero numerator lost the sign this way: a
quotient too small to represent already rounded to the right signed zero on
its own. The compiled path, which divides in floating point, had it right
and disagreed with the interpreter.

The README's JIT section covered only `__jit__()`. It now also covers the
`aot` feature, the switches that turn it on, the shapes it compiles and the
shapes it refuses, what happens where a machine word runs out, and why
compiled code is invisible to a tracer.

524-535: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial

Each cross-thread attribute read pauses the whole world.

lasti_from_thread calls stop_the_world once per read. f_lasti and f_lineno both go through it, so a tool that inspects another thread's stack pauses every interpreter thread once per attribute and once per frame. A traceback dump over a deep stack multiplies those pauses.

Consider caching the resolved position per traversal, or exposing a batched inspection entry point that stops the world once and reads every frame it needs. No change is required for correctness.

CPython sys.monitoring LINE event repeated execution same line loop semantics PEP 669

💡 Result:

Under PEP 669, implemented in CPython via the sys.monitoring module, a LINE event is defined as occurring when an instruction is about to be executed that has a different line number from the preceding instruction [1][2]. In the context of loop execution, this mechanism ensures that LINE events are generated consistently as the execution flow returns to the start of a loop body [3][4][5]. When a loop body spans multiple lines, or when execution jumps back to the beginning of a loop (e.g., via a JUMP_BACKWARD instruction), CPython checks the line number of the next instruction against the preceding one. Because the instruction at the start of a loop body often has a different line number than the instruction that preceded it (such as the jump instruction at the end of the loop), a LINE event is triggered for that line upon each iteration [3][5][6]. Specifically, if a loop body contains multiple lines, the LINE event will trigger for each line as it is encountered during every iteration of the loop [5][6]. If the code execution jumps from a line N to a line M, and these lines differ, the LINE event for line M will be fired [4]. This behavior ensures that profilers and debuggers relying on sys.monitoring receive accurate notifications for every line execution within loops, maintaining compatibility with the expected behavior of line-based tracing [4][5]. Top results: [3][1][2][4][5]

Preserve independent line-entry tracking for sys.monitoring. FrameObject::run updates prev_line only when vm.use_tracing is enabled. Monitoring uses InstrumentedLine instead and updates prev_line only when it fires a LINE event. A loop jump back to the same instrumented line can therefore suppress the next LINE event that CPython emits. Use separate tracking for monitoring line entries.

The bit is in a word every interpreter in the process shares, and nothing
cleared it. After one interpreter finalized - a subinterpreter closed with
`_interpreters.destroy`, say - every interpreter that outlived it read a
non-zero word on every instruction and took the eval-breaker slow path for
the rest of the process: 78 ms against 212 ms for the same integer loop.

Count the spans the way the stop-the-world ones are counted, for the same
reason: a subinterpreter is finalized while the interpreter that owns it is
finalizing, so the bit belongs to the last span to close, not the first.

The perf gate compares a branch against main, and main builds without the
feature, so a branch that turns it on for the benchmark job compares two
configurations rather than two revisions. Merging it would leave every later
comparison measuring a build nobody ships.

Reverts the benchmark half of 60ee4c9; the aot path is still run by the
CPython-suite step and both snippets.

Make the counter and eval-breaker transition atomic.

Line 208 can reduce FINALIZE_REQUESTS to zero before Line 209 clears FINALIZING_BIT. A second finalization can then begin, set the bit at Line 199, and leave a nonzero counter. The first finalization can still clear that bit at Line 209.

This leaves an active finalization span with no FINALIZING_BIT. A compiled daemon loop can then miss the shutdown safepoint, and shutdown can wait indefinitely. Store the span count and bit in one CAS-managed state, or serialize both transitions with one lock. Apply the same invariant to the analogous stop-request accounting.

The automatic path read the argument types off the annotations, which is why
it compiled almost nothing: seven functions in the whole of `Lib/` annotate
every parameter and the return `int`, `float` or `bool`, and the compiler
turns all seven down for other reasons. A call carries the types the function
is actually being used with, and the compiled code already type-checks every
argument it is handed, so a guess that turns out wrong costs a fall back to
the interpreter rather than a wrong answer.

Compiling on the first call also spent the eligibility scan on every function
a program calls once, which is most of them. Count the calls instead and offer
the function to the compiler when the count says a compile could be repaid;
the types come from the call that crosses that line.

Both paths resolve a call's arguments onto its parameters the same way and
have to agree on which calls they accept, so they now share the walk. The
sink is a trait rather than a returned vector to keep the per-call path
allocating nothing.

Nothing in the automatic path runs Python code any more, so a speculative
compile can no longer pull an `__annotate__` forward. `__jit__()` still reads
annotations.

Measured with `sys._jit._stats()`: three unannotated numeric functions that
could not be compiled at all before now are, and run 1.7x, 2.2x and 27x
faster. Importing 25 stdlib modules asks the compiler about 87 functions
where it used to ask about 1882, and the same import-heavy startup now costs
the same with the feature on as with it off, against 6.8% more before.

Serialize JIT state transitions with __code__ replacement.

observe_call only uses a plain state store before compiling. Two threads can compile the same function. More importantly, set___code__ can clear and reset the function while automatic or explicit compilation is in progress, after which the old CompiledCode is installed for the replacement code. A subsequent call can then use new argument resolution with the old signature and panic on an out-of-range ArgsBuilder slot. deoptimize can also clear native code for a newer replacement.

the implementation anchors.

Comment on lines +255 to +260
# `scale`, `wide`, `wide2`, `divide`, `fib_iter`, `spin`, `forward`,
# `annotated`, `warm` itself and the rebound `countdown` are what the
# automatic path takes above - the original self-recursive `countdown`,
# kept as `original_countdown`, is refused. These are floors, not exact
# counts, but they must not regress: a floor already met before a change
# cannot tell whether the gate came back.

Do not include warm in the automatic compilation floor.

warm calls its callback 200 times, but this file calls warm only once per test subject. It does not reach the 64-call threshold. The updated compiled-count floor therefore exceeds the reachable count by one when it includes warm.
