From 860438cf13ac6819e8792717d86a9042c7cc71eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ChrisRackauckas-Claude Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2026 08:32:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Guard AllocCheck static check against Julia-prerelease false positives The AllocCheck "Zero Allocations" testset was erroring only on the `julia pre` (1.13.0-rc1) macOS/aarch64 CI job. AllocCheck's static LLVM-IR analysis is explicitly documented as not guaranteed stable across Julia versions, and the in-flux 1.13 prerelease codegen makes it emit architecture-dependent false positives: on aarch64 it flagged even `procf` (pure scalar Float64 arithmetic returning an `NTuple{4,Float64}`, which cannot heap-allocate) as allocating, while x86_64 reported zero. Runtime `@allocated` is 0 for every function on 1.13.0-rc1, confirming there is no real allocation. Restructure the testset so the ground-truth runtime `@allocated == 0` assertion runs on every Julia version and architecture (a strictly stronger regression guard than before), and additionally run AllocCheck's static `check_allocs` only on released Julia, where its result is reliable. No test is skipped or weakened: the static guard still runs and passes on lts/release across all OSes, catching real allocation regressions. Verified locally: - 1.13.0-rc1: 10/10 pass (runtime guard; static gated off) - 1.12.6: 20/20 pass (runtime + static) - 1.10.11: 20/20 pass (runtime + static) - full Core group passes on 1.13.0-rc1 Co-Authored-By: Chris Rackauckas Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) --- test/alloc_tests.jl | 71 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 42 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/alloc_tests.jl b/test/alloc_tests.jl index 9fa5f29..f8e6935 100644 --- a/test/alloc_tests.jl +++ b/test/alloc_tests.jl @@ -1,49 +1,62 @@ using AllocCheck using PoissonRandom using Random +using Test + +# AllocCheck's static LLVM-IR analysis is explicitly documented as not guaranteed +# stable across Julia versions, and on Julia prereleases the in-flux codegen makes +# it emit architecture-dependent false positives: on 1.13.0-rc1 the aarch64 path +# flags even `procf` (pure scalar Float64 arithmetic returning an `NTuple{4,Float64}`, +# which cannot heap-allocate) as allocating, while x86_64 reports zero.
