Summary

Follow-up to #8576 (merged before this enrichment landed on it, so it's carried here instead). Extends --report-size with the kind of analysis cargo-bsize offers on a cargo build rebuild, applied to the same real linked binary the base report already reads.

What's new
  • Generic monomorphization grouping — same generic code instantiated for N concrete types, e.g. hashbrown::map::HashMap<_>::insert monomorphized 54 times in one measurement.
  • Duplicate function/static-data body detection — identical bytes under different symbol names, found via a byte hash over each symbol's own bytes.
  • Duplicate crate instances — the same crate name linked more than once under a different build, proven directly from the binary's own v0-mangling disambiguator hash (not inferred from Cargo.lock). On a trivial program this correctly caught gimli linked twice — from perry-runtime and perry-stdlib each independently compiling it as a separate cargo build invocation. Perry's existing archive-dedup pass (dedup_runtime_for_tier3/dedup_stdlib_for_tier3) is scoped to tvOS/watchOS only today, so this class of duplication survives on the default build path — a real, evidence-based follow-up this report makes visible.
  • A ranked Suggestions section synthesizing all of the above with estimated recoverable bytes.
  • <output>.size-report.json alongside the markdown, for machine consumption.

Two real bugs caught by testing against a live compiled binary rather than trusting the code in isolation: the generic-family grouping initially swallowed the whole receiver type under a bare <Type as Trait>::method wrapper (producing garbage like >::reserve_rehash::<_> with no type name at all), and initially missed the turbofish ::<Args> form entirely (preceded by :, not an identifier character). Both are now regression-tested.

Test plan

  • New/updated unit tests for generic_family (including both bugs above) and crate_and_hash.
  • cargo fmt --check -p perry clean.
  • cargo clippy -p perry --bins — no warnings from size_report.rs.
  • End-to-end: compiled a console.log program with --report-size, inspected hello.size-report.md/.json, confirmed the gimli duplicate-instance and monomorphization findings are accurate and readable.
  • scripts/check_file_size.sh passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

Extends the symbol-table-only size report from PerryTS#8576 with the kind of
analysis cargo-bsize offers on a cargo build rebuild, applied here to
the same real linked binary the base report already reads:

- Generic monomorphization grouping (same generic code instantiated for
  N concrete types, e.g. hashbrown::map::HashMap<_>::insert monomorphized
  54 times in one measurement).
- Duplicate function/static-data body detection via a byte hash over each
  symbol's own bytes.
- Duplicate crate INSTANCES: the same crate name linked more than once
  under a different build, proven directly from the binary's own
  v0-mangling disambiguator hash rather than inferred from Cargo.lock.
  On a trivial program this correctly caught gimli linked twice, from
  perry-runtime and perry-stdlib each independently compiling it as a
  separate cargo build invocation -- Perry's existing archive-dedup pass
  (dedup_runtime_for_tier3/dedup_stdlib_for_tier3) is scoped to
  tvOS/watchOS only today, so this class of duplication survives on the
  default build path.
- A ranked Suggestions section synthesizing all of the above with
  estimated recoverable bytes.
- <output>.size-report.json alongside the markdown for machine
  consumption.

Two real bugs caught and fixed by testing against a live binary rather
than trusting the code in isolation: the generic-family grouping
initially swallowed the whole receiver type under a bare `<Type as
Trait>::method` wrapper (produced garbage like ">::reserve_rehash::<_>"
with no type name at all), and initially missed the turbofish `::<Args>`
form entirely (preceded by `:`, not an identifier character).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The size report now computes generic, duplicate-body, duplicate-crate, and cost-pattern diagnostics. It writes Markdown and JSON outputs, displays ranked suggestions, adds tests, documents the changes, and updates the workspace version.

Changes

Size report enrichment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Report analysis and diagnostic aggregation
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/size_report.rs
The report retains symbol metadata, extracts crate hashes, groups generic families, hashes duplicate bodies, identifies duplicate crate builds, classifies cost patterns, and ranks suggestions. Tests cover parsing, normalization, and hashing.
Markdown and JSON report outputs
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/size_report.rs, changelog.d/8579-report-size-enrichment.md, Cargo.toml, CLAUDE.md
The command writes Markdown and JSON reports, renders diagnostic tables and suggestions, updates report-path handling, documents the new output, and increments the version to 0.5.1519.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f5876

This change adds richer size-analysis output, but the generated report may occasionally overstate duplicate functions and rank duplicate-crate savings inaccurately; the compiled product is unaffected. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on report accuracy and efficiency.

322-334: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Skip zero-size symbols before hashing bodies.

If sym.size is 0, data_range returns an empty slice. Every such symbol then hashes to the FNV-1a offset basis and lands in one bucket. That group passes both duplicate filters (len() > 1 and equal sizes), so the report can create a single DuplicateBody with a very large symbols vector and wasted_bytes == 0. The entry is filtered out of suggestions and sorts last in the table, so output stays correct, but the vector is retained needlessly.

Skip empty ranges at collection time.

                         // slices grouped under the same hash would still need to
                         // agree on — good enough for a diagnostic report.

455-472: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Estimate recoverable bytes, not total bytes, for duplicate crate instances.

estimated_bytes ranks suggestions against each other. For duplicate function bodies the code uses wasted_bytes (true surplus). For duplicate crate instances it uses dup.total_bytes, which includes the one copy that must remain. Duplicate-crate suggestions therefore rank higher than comparable findings, and the printed "Top suggestion" can be misleading.

Use the surplus share instead.

Align the comment with the actual check.

The comments state that same-hash symbols would still need to agree on their exact byte slices. The code compares only the FNV-1a hash and the size. It never compares bytes. A hash collision between two same-size bodies therefore reports a false duplicate. Reword the comment, or compare the byte slices before grouping.

✏️ Comment wording fix
-        // Same-hash groups can still differ in size if two DIFFERENT-length
-        // symbols' byte ranges happened to collide in the (rare) FNV-1a sense;

+        // Same-hash groups can still differ in size if two DIFFERENT-length

Merging. This is analysis tooling over an already-linked binary — no runtime or codegen surface — so the risk profile is low, but the substance is good.

check result
cargo check --workspace --all-targets exit 0
size_report unit tests 11 passed
all six ratchets 0
cargo fmt --all -- --check 0

The part worth calling out is the methodology, not the feature: two real bugs surfaced by running the analyzer against a live compiled binary rather than exercising it in isolation — the generic-family grouping swallowing the receiver type into a bare <Type as Trait>::method wrapper, and the turbofish ::<Args> form being missed because it is preceded by : rather than an identifier character. Both are now regression-tested. Tooling that parses mangled symbols is exactly the category where isolated unit tests agree with a wrong mental model, so testing against real output is what makes this trustworthy.

The duplicate-crate finding is the useful output and deserves its own follow-up: gimli linked twice on a trivial program, proven from the binary's own v0-mangling disambiguator hash rather than inferred from Cargo.lock, because perry-runtime and perry-stdlib each compile it under a separate cargo invocation. The existing dedup_runtime_for_tier3/dedup_stdlib_for_tier3 pass is scoped to tvOS/watchOS, so this survives on the default build path. That is a concrete, evidence-backed size win someone should chase.

Dropped the version bump per the standing convention that the maintainer bumps at merge time.
