Align bisect bounds and callback controls by youknowdot · Pull Request #9629 · RustPython/RustPython

youknowdot · 2026-11-03T14:18:55Z

Summary

Consolidate the bisect bounds/callback work and #9630's insort result-disposal fix.

Request sequence length only for an omitted, None, or -1 upper bound. Snapshot the sequence item slot even for an empty range.
Bind the call before running __index__, finish lo conversion and nonnegative validation before converting hi, and preserve the original arguments through callbacks and insertion-result disposal.
Restore CPython's native recursion guard around each search, including the cached same-type comparison path. Release the current item after leaving recursion on failure.
Cache the original needle type's identity and comparison slot without retaining the type. Keep the shortcut across mixed-type probes and disable it after NotImplemented.
Match the distinct lo and hi overflow/type diagnostics, including 200-byte type-name truncation.
Discard custom insert() results and return None from both insort directions.

Conversion and ownership

The bound fields remain deferred objects because plain eager ArgIndex does not include native-size/negative validation and would convert hi too soon. Conversion still uses the shared ArgIndex, now through TryFromBorrowedObject; its existing owned interface is preserved by the blanket implementation. This removes an input incref/decref per supplied bound.

The search stores a pointer-sized type identity rather than another type owner. Unkeyed insort borrows the existing input instead of cloning it. Error cleanup moves the existing midpoint owner, with no new allocation or incref/decref. The native recursion check runs once per search, matching CPython.

Consolidation

The branch includes current main at 1875dd8b207d and the latest #9630 head 28395170fc39 as merge ancestors. #9630's final redundant-clone lint expectations are superseded by borrowed arguments; its result-disposal and input-lifetime behavior is retained. No unrelated PR is included.

Validation

Independent source review against CPython 3.15.0 passed.
Native release build passed.
test_bisect: all 46 tests passed.
Expanded extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_bisect.py passed on RustPython and CPython 3.15.0, including all-native recursion, conversion ordering/errors, type ownership, and insert-result disposal.
The 56-line bounds/callback observable probe and eight additional ownership/error-cleanup cases matched CPython 3.15.0 exactly.
Full-workspace all-targets Clippy and separate C-API all-targets Clippy passed with -D warnings.
Full-workspace Rust tests passed (excluding wasm, venvlauncher, and C-API as prescribed). Separate C-API tests passed: 149 passed, 2 ignored.
Normal commit hooks and formatting passed.

The class-collection regression uses a separate assignment helper so it tests bisect's cached ownership independently of RustPython's existing rule retaining reassigned classes until the assigning frame exits. This PR does not change that VM-wide lifetime policy or add the existing missing exact-list insertion fast path. Cross-platform runtime validation has not been run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved bisect and insertion handling of search bounds, including negative or oversized values, invalid types, and omitted bounds.
- Corrected insertion behavior when using a key function; insertion methods return None.
- Improved error handling for recursive comparisons, indexing, and comparison callbacks.
- Added recursion-depth checks on WebAssembly builds.
Tests
- Added coverage for argument validation, conversion errors, recursive comparisons, and insertion behavior.

Use sequence length only for the -1 upper-bound sentinel, and snapshot the sequence item slot even for an empty search range. This supports indexable objects without __len__ when hi is supplied and rejects mapping-only objects. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex:model version not exposed

Walkthrough

The native bisect functions now parse bounds before searching and share a search implementation. The insort functions search with the optional keyed needle, insert the original item, and return None. Wasm now tracks native recursion depth. Tests cover argument conversion, comparison behavior, recursion, and object lifetimes.

Changes: Bisect and insort

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bound conversion `crates/stdlib/src/bisect.rs`, `crates/vm/src/function/number.rs`, `extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_bisect.py`	Bounds remain Python objects until conversion. `ArgIndex` now converts from a borrowed object. Tests check conversion order and errors for invalid bounds.
Wasm recursion tracking `crates/vm/src/vm/mod.rs`, `crates/vm/src/vm/thread.rs`	Wasm initializes and maintains a native-recursion counter. The unmeasured recursion limit is 64 in debug builds and 128 otherwise.
Shared bisect search `crates/stdlib/src/bisect.rs`, `extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_bisect.py`	`bisect_left` and `bisect_right` use shared sequence access and comparison logic. Tests cover recursive comparisons and object lifetime during comparison.
Insort search and insertion `crates/stdlib/src/bisect.rs`, `extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_bisect.py`	The insort functions search using the optional keyed needle, insert the original item, and return `None`. Tests check insertion-result disposal and finalization order.

Merge Risk: Low · up to f01f1

Bisect can choose the wrong comparison after a callback changes the needle’s class. The issue is narrow but should be considered before merging.

Check bound and key lifetimes during result disposal.

The test passes no custom lo, hi, or key objects, so it cannot detect their premature release. Pass finalizable bound and key objects and check that they remain alive when InsertResult.__del__ runs.

Check the needle’s current class before using the cached slot.

If a midpoint keeps Original while a callback changes the needle to Replacement, the cached Original slot calls Original.__lt__ directly. It skips Replacement.__gt__, which generic dispatch must try first for a strict subclass. Include the needle’s current class in the shortcut guard.

Suggested fix

- compare.filter(|_| comp.class().get_id() == needle_type_id) + compare.filter(|_| { + comp.class().get_id() == needle_type_id + && x.class().get_id() == needle_type_id + })

Committable suggestion

IMPORTANT
Review the replacement and indentation, then test before committing.

The WebAssembly engine call stack is separate from the linear-memory stack measured by psm. Count native recursion on wasm32 as well as unmeasured platforms, with a conservative Wasm-only limit while retaining the linear-memory probe. This prevents the all-native bisect recursion regression from trapping the WASI runtime. Native platform behavior and test assertions are unchanged. Assisted-by: dot:frontier-intelligence
