Summary

Assignments such as (function (t) { t.prototype = value; })(object) and object.prototype = value after a computed-key write silently discarded the property. Route these assignments through ordinary PutValue so the property is stored and accessors, proxies, and strict-mode failures behave correctly.

Changes

  • Preserve single receiver evaluation, root it across the RHS, and return the setter's rooted assignment result.
  • Retain function prototype metadata for dynamic class inheritance, synchronizing from the actual stored property without resetting its descriptor. Preserve lazy function prototype attributes and reject writes to the immutable class-constructor prototype.
  • Include these writes in prototype-mutation checks used by method optimizations.

Fixes #9365.

Validation

No version bump.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed assignments to statically named .prototype properties on ordinary objects, including objects accessed through parameters or after computed-key writes.
    • Assignments now correctly honor accessors, proxies, read-only and frozen properties, primitives, and strict-mode failures.
    • Ensured assignment receivers are evaluated once and remain valid while evaluating assigned values.
    • Preserved prototype metadata for functions and derived classes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for ordinary objects, functions, classes, proxies, accessors, strict mode, evaluation order, and related edge cases.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Static .prototype assignments now use ordinary property writes. The change carries strict-mode state through HIR and code generation, preserves function prototype metadata, roots receivers during allocation, updates proxy descriptors, and adds broad regression coverage.

The runtime performs ordinary writes, synchronizes eligible function metadata, exports the new ABI, and handles class and lazy prototype descriptors.
Behavior and regression coverage

Tests cover objects, accessors, proxies, strict failures, evaluation order, functions, classes, and receiver rooting. The changelog records the behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05d04

Changing a function prototype from an object to another supported value can leave derived classes using the old prototype. This should be fixed before merge.

Clear stale prototype metadata in js_set_prototype_property.

When the current prototype is null, a primitive, an array, or another closure, this function skips the GC_TYPE_OBJECT store but retains the previous CLASS_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS entry. The dynamic class resolver can then read the stale object instead of the current property. Arrays and closures are linked directly during construction, but their writes still require cache cleanup. Clear the mapping in js_set_prototype_property for every value that is not GC_TYPE_OBJECT, and invalidate the related caches.

Own property named prototype is silently dropped when written through a function parameter (and after a dynamic-key write)
