Summary

Lane B bootstrap-aot-link gate (#8555):

  • TYPE_CONCAT into inferred __value__ temporaries writes via __value__writeString instead of native String_->concat().
  • Relational compares between boxed __value__ and native double operands for patterns like pi() > 3.0.
  • Script-global foreach: IteratorHelper::asHashtable loads heap __value__* via valuePtrFromVariable before __value__readHashtable.
  • && phi slots: skip string dimAssign on non-char lvalues; rebind mis-typed phi operands when the short-circuit false branch assigns false after a string dim fetch.
  • Self-host stub scope: isSkippedSelfHostEntryName no longer stubs script-local type_pair().
  • getenv() === false: route TYPE_IDENTICAL on VALUE vs native bool before JitLongArg::lower.
  • Nullable ?: return: direct LLVM return from each ternary arm (skip shared merge slot) fixes AOT segfault on ?string returns; coerceReturnValue copies __value__* merge slots when needed.

Reduces bootstrap-aot-link failures from 21 → 10 on this harness (master baseline: 21+).

Lane C continuation (PR #8563): structural fixes landed but gate still 13 failures — not merging.

This commit:

  • Removed broken Helper VALUE===bool fast paths (wrong __value__readLong pointer)
  • Branched JitValueCompare::identicalToNative bool/long (LLVM select eager eval)
  • JitValueBox::readStringOrNull for ?string ternary returns
  • Copy getenv() __value__* rvalues into stack slots on first bind

Repro blockers (runtime segfault exit 139):

  1. test/repro/getenv_identical_false.php — $val === false after getenv (VM/JIT OK, AOT segfault)
  2. test/bootstrap-aot/ns_func.php — ternary ?string string branch return (if/return works; ternary segfaults)

Verification:

./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc 'make bootstrap-aot-link'  # 13 failures

Next: fix ternary union string assign before return coerce; ensure getenv strict-false uses TYPE_VALUE through compare (CFG infers string).

Update (lane B run)

Rebased onto current master + fixed isSkippedSelfHostEntryName stub collision: bare user type_pair() was incorrectly stubbed (intended target is only PHPCompiler\JIT\type_pair / PHPCompiler\VM\type_pair).

Lane B had no eligible non-stdlib open issue (issue % 3 == 1); continued this bootstrap gate PR. Not merging — gate still red.

Lane C run update (PR #8563, commit 1a719cb):

Fixed / verified (AOT):

  • getenv() === false strict compare (test/repro/getenv_identical_false.php) — php-types string|false patch + Helper IDENTICAL ordering
  • test/bootstrap-aot/value_bitwise_shift.php → 65556
  • test/bootstrap-aot/m3_getenv_smoke.php → 1

Still blocked:

  • ?string ternary return on string branch segfaults in AOT (return true ? $p : null; null branch OK). Blocks ns_func.php and ns_nullable_ternary_return.php.
  • make bootstrap-aot-link → 11 failures remaining.

Next step: fix ?: return-phi VALUE-box init / copyFromPointer path for union temps so string-branch ternary returns survive AOT link.

Lane B update — PR #8555 pushed (not merged)

Gate: `make bootstrap-aot-link` → 11 failures (down from 21 master / 12 prior commit).

New in this push:

  • `getenv() === false` / `m3_getenv_smoke.php` green — strict compare routes before `JitLongArg::lower` on VALUE operands
  • Nullable `?:` return: coalesce merge var for `value*` return functions + copy slot at `coerceReturnValue`

Still red: `ns_func.php` / `?: string|null` with `?string` return (AOT segfault), `m3_prelude_smoke` (segfault after getenv guard), hash/crypto compile mismatches, foreach_by_ref, several compile-fail smokes.

Next: fix `?:` null-arm return for nullable scalars (LLVM merge slot / `__value__readString` on unified box); re-run gate.

Continued (Lane C) — handoff

Root cause (AOT ?string ternary return segfault)

php-cfg emits distinct Operand\Temporary objects per CFG block for the same scope slot (e.g. slot 3). Branch assigns bind to temporary A; merge RETURN uses temporary B. getVariableFromOp(B) was creating a fresh null VALUE box instead of aliasing the branch box → coerceReturnValue / __value__readString crash on garbage (AOT only; MCJIT JIT path tolerates this).

Evidence: spl_object_id on assign vs return operands for slot 3 differ; return is_file($p)?$p:null inside function segfaults; same ternary in {main} mis-compiles to null but does not segfault; ?int ternary AOT works; direct $x=$p; return $x AOT works.

This commit (d87ae0621)

  • functionScopeSlotBindings keyed by scope slot using jitCurrentBlock (not only function entry — entry had no slot mapping for branch operands)
  • freeDeadVariables: skip unnamed RETURN phi operands (not just named $var)
  • TYPE_RETURN: resolve via functionScopeSlotBindings before getVariableFromOp

Still failing

./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc 'php bin/compile.php -o /tmp/t test/repro/ns_nullable_ternary_return.php && /tmp/t'
# segfault (exit 139)

./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc 'php bin/compile.php -o /tmp/ns test/bootstrap-aot/ns_func.php && /tmp/ns'
# segfault — blocks ns_func gate

Next step

Wire ternary ?: return phi like ?? coalesce: mark merge RETURN operand in coalesceAssignTargets or allocate phi VALUE box in function entry (entryAlloca) on first branch touch and store via assignToPointer on both arms (CoalesceHelper pattern). Ensure LLVM dominance (avoid binding non-entry allocas across blocks — prior attempt caused Instruction does not dominate all uses!).

PR #8563 updated; not merge-ready until repro + ns_func green.

Emit LLVM return from each ternary arm instead of merging into a shared
slot that AOT mishandles for ?string (#8555). bootstrap-aot-link 21→10.

WIP handoff (lane C, PR #8563, commit c7d841a)

Root cause narrowed (AOT-only)

?string ternary return segfaults when the string value is assigned on php-cfg block1 (if-entry), not when it is on block2 (else-entry). VM and JIT both pass; direct return 'hello' / return $p without ternary phi also passes AOT.

Pattern AOT
return null === $n ? null : $n (string on else) OK
return true ? $p : null / is_file($p) ? $p : null (string on if) segfault
return true ? null : $p (null on if) OK

CFG: both arms assign to the same phi slot (e.g. slot 3); cfgVarRoot() is null. Phi uses jitType=__value__.

What landed in c7d841a

  • functionScopeBindingKey/Variable — slot-stable phi bindings across branch/merge blocks; freeDeadVariables skips return phi by binding key
  • TYPE_JUMPIF — when both arms jump to a shared RETURN merge, compile non-string arm first (detect via branchAssignsStringToTernaryPhi on expr TYPE_STRING)
  • JitValueBox::readOwnedStringOrNull — separate after read (did not fix AOT crash alone)
  • Temp-box copy path for TYPE_STRING → TYPE_VALUE phi assigns (did not fix)
  • Repro: test/repro/aot_ternary_bool.php, aot_ternary_ne_null.php, aot_ternary_var_nullable.php; probe: script/debug-phi-root.php

Still failing repro

./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc 'php bin/compile.php -o /tmp/t test/repro/aot_ternary_bool.php && /tmp/t'            # exit 139
./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc 'php bin/compile.php -o /tmp/ns test/bootstrap-aot/ns_func.php && /tmp/ns'            # exit 139

Suggested next step

Compare LLVM IR / native disassembly for string assign on if-entry BB vs identical assign on else-entry BB (same phi slot). Hypothesis: AOT codegen or alias bug specific to the if-entry LLVM block, not merge compile order per se (deferred merge + per-arm RETURN + branch inversion were tried without fixing if-arm string).

PR #8563 updated; not merge-ready until bootstrap-aot-link repro is green.
