…19732) Optimize/DetupleArgs.determineTransforms and Optimize/InnerLambdasToTopLevelFuncs.CreateNewValuesForTLR walked Val sets in Val.Stamp order. Stamps are race-assigned during parallel parse / type-check, so the contained NiceNameGenerator counter calls happen in different orders per build, producing names like `func1@1-30` vs `func1@1-20` for the same source. Sort by (FileIndex, line, col, LogicalName) before name generation so the call sequence is stable regardless of stamp assignment race. Also drops the stale OptimizeInputs.fs:514 comment - PR #19028 removed the deterministic-mode gate it described. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

Self-review — all items addressed in follow-up commits: shared valSourceOrderKey helper, restored signpost comment in OptimizeInputs.fs, release note PR link, Determinism CI moved to Release (so the race is actually exercised). Verification draft #19838 confirms the Release CI catches the race.
…elease - Extract valSourceOrderKey into TypedTreeOps.ExprConstruction (.fs + .fsi) and reuse from DetupleArgs / InnerLambdasToTopLevelFuncs, so the invariant lives in one place near valOrder. - Trim the long block comments at the two sort sites to a single line that links the issue; the helper docstring carries the WHY. - Restore a brief note in OptimizeInputs.fs above the parallel branch so future readers know which sort sites guard determinism. - azure-pipelines-PR.yml: run eng/test-determinism.cmd in Release config. DetupleArgs and InnerLambdasToTopLevelFuncs only run when --optimize+ is on (set by SetOptimizeOn for Release), so the Debug job never exercised the race this PR fixes. Rename job to Determinism_Release. - Release note: add PR link. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

- Revert Determinism CI job back to Debug: Release exposes pre-existing TypeDefsBuilder races unrelated to this fix, causing flaky failures. Release coverage belongs in a follow-up when all races are fixed. - Add regression test exercising DetupleArgs + TLR with tuple-arg functions and nested lambdas across 8 files (#19732).

Reverting CI to Debug was a hack. The Release determinism job is meant to fail when non-determinism slips into the compiler; that is exactly its job. Pre-existing races (TypeDefsBuilder counter, ConcurrentStack drain, NiceNameGenerator) must be fixed at source, not papered over. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
The old code used global Interlocked counters as sort keys, so the emit order of ILTypeDefs depended on whichever thread won the race during parallel file gen. Combined with ConcurrentDictionary bucket order (string GetHashCode is per-process randomized in .NET 6+), this produced different IL byte sequences across builds and a non-deterministic MVID for FSharp.Compiler.Service.dll in Release. Fix: route AddTypeDef through a thread-local batch context. Sequential adds go to batch 0 (legacy counter order, preserves existing baselines). Each parallel file gets a deterministic batch index (file index in delayedFileGenReverse, which is already in source order) with a per-batch counter, so each file's types form a contiguous, source-ordered block. All 1172 EmittedIL component tests still pass with no baseline updates; the 2 unrelated failures (SequenceExpression handler, Thai culture interpolation) are pre-existing on baseline.

Two additional Release-only determinism races: 1. AssemblyBuilder.GrabExtraBindingsToGenerate (IlxGen.fs): Anonymous-record augmentation bindings are pushed onto a ConcurrentStack from many parallel file-gen threads, so the drain order is racy. Sort the drained bindings by source position using valSourceOrderKey before feeding them into CodeGenMethod. The baseline shifts are exactly the reorder of anon-record .Equals/.CompareTo/.GetHashCode overloads. 2. ParseInputFilesInParallel (ParseAndCheckInputs.fs): FileIndex values are allocated lazily under a lock keyed by parse-time first-touch. With parallel parsing this assigns indices in a thread- interleaved order. Indices leak into IL via debug info, NiceNameGenerator keys ((basicName, FileIndex)), and any downstream sort using FileIndex. Pre-register indices in source-file order before kicking off the parallel parse so file 0 always gets the first index. Baseline updates: EmittedIL/Misc/AnonRecd.fs.il.netcore.bsl EmittedIL/Nullness/AnonRecords.fs.il.netcore.bsl Both are pure reorderings of overloaded compiler-generated members. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
Differential testing (compile same project twice, once with --parallelcompilation+ and once with --parallelcompilation- + --test:ParallelOff) revealed that the order of methods within a class diverged between the two modes for TLR-lifted helpers (e.g. nested 'composed@N' methods). Root cause: in sequential mode (delayCodeGen = false), method bodies were generated inline during the sequential file walk, so inner AddMethodDef calls (for TLR helpers discovered during body codegen) interleaved with outer ones in source order. In parallel mode (delayCodeGen = true), method bodies were deferred and forced later, so inner AddMethodDef calls happened AFTER the outer method def was already registered. Two complementary fixes: 1. TypeDefBuilder: tag every AddMethodDef / AddFieldDef / AddEventDef with (batchIndex, intraIndex) and sort at Close time. Sequential phase uses batch 0 with a shared counter; each parallel file batch gets its own batchIndex via ParallelCodeGenContext. Adds are now lock-protected because multiple parallel batches can target the same TypeDef (StartupCode$, AnonymousType$, augmentation types). 2. Always set delayCodeGen = true in GenerateCode, regardless of parallelIlxGen. Parallel vs sequential only affects whether the deferred file batches are forced via ArrayParallel.iteri or Array.iteri. This normalizes AddMethodDef timing across modes. Component test: 'Parallel and sequential compilation must produce identical assemblies' (DeterministicTests.fs). 12 files exercising TLR + anon records. Verified to fail without (2) and pass with it. All 1172 EmittedIL component tests still pass with no baseline changes. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
…est hardening Addresses cross-model consensus from 21-agent adversarial review: - valSourceOrderKey: document Val.Stamp tiebreaker hazard and pair every callsite with assertValSourceOrderKeyUnique (debug-only) so any future collision on the build-stable prefix (FileIndex, line, col, LogicalName) fires an assertion instead of silently reintroducing #19732. - IlxGen TypeDefBuilder: extract tagInitial helper, deduplicate triplicated List.mapi tagging, rename NextIntra -> NextIntraBatchIndex, replace the two hand-rolled while loops in Append/PrependInstructionsToSpecificMethodDef with Seq.tryFindIndex, lock-protect gproperties for parity with gmethods/gfields/gevents, and lock the gmethods scans in those Append/ Prepend members instead of relying on an implicit post-join invariant. - azure-pipelines-PR.yml Determinism_Release: drop the duplicate experimental_features matrix leg (both legs set _experimental_flag: '', giving identical coverage at double the CI cost). - DeterministicTests: switch to createTemporaryDirectory(), wrap test body in try/finally so artifacts survive on failure, drop sprintf+15-positional args in favour of $"""...""" interpolation matching the rest of the file, and eliminate the verbatim File1 duplicate by routing the primary source through the same fileSource helper. - Release note: replace the overclaimed 'Release MVID reproducible' with a precise description of what the differential test and CI job actually prove. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
… trim prose Addresses round-1 cross-model review consensus: - D8 (PR compactness): drop the lock on gproperties and the locks around the gmethods scans in Append/PrependInstructionsToSpecificMethodDef. Those members are called only from the main thread after the parallel codegen join in CodegenAssembly, so the locks were speculative defensive code (their own comment admitted as much). Add a one-line invariant note in place of the locks. - D5 vs D8 tension: drop assertValSourceOrderKeyUnique entirely. Running the EmittedIL suite with the assertion promoted from Debug.Assert to failwith showed that synthetic Vals at the same source location DO legitimately collide on the build-stable prefix (e.g. e1/e2 generic compare-augmentation parameters at file 0, line 1, col 0). The collision is real but harmless in practice because those Vals are created together by a single pass and therefore receive monotonic Stamp values within one process. Rely on the differential 'Parallel and sequential compilation must produce identical assemblies' component test as the regression guard instead of an always-failing precondition that would block normal compilation. - D8: trim TypeDefsBuilder.Close (9-line comment -> 3), trim delayCodeGen=true rationale (5 lines -> 3), trim the release-note bullet, drop the .fsi/.fs duplication on valSourceOrderKey. All 1172 EmittedIL component tests, 21 DeterministicTests, and the local /tmp/det-diff seq-vs-par differential all pass. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
Build 1443688 surfaced three deterministic-IL-related failures that the previous netcore-only baseline updates did not cover: * WindowsCompressedMetadata_Desktop Batch1 - EmittedIL.RealInternalSignature.Misc.AnonRecd_fs * WindowsCompressedMetadata_Desktop Batch2 - EmittedIL.NullnessMetadata 'Nullable attr for anon records' * Build_And_Test_AOT_Windows (classic + compressed) - StaticLinkedFSharpCore trim size The IlxGen emit-order stabilization changes anon-record method order identically on .NET Framework and .NET, so mirror the netcore.bsl reordering into the matching net472.bsl files (CompareTo(obj) before CompareTo(typed); Equals(obj)/Equals(typed)/Equals(obj,comp)/Equals(typed,comp) before GetHashCode()/GetHashCode(comp)). Bump the trimmed StaticLinkedFSharpCore_Trimming_Test.dll expected size from 9168384 to 9177088 bytes to track the new deterministic emit. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
The default 'same' mode (build twice with identical flags) only catches non-determinism that happens to fire between two runs of the same code path. The new 'seq-vs-par' mode builds the compiler once with --parallelcompilation- --test:ParallelOff and once with --parallelcompilation+, then MD5-compares all outputs. Any divergence between the two scheduling modes is a deterministic 1-shot failure, converting the probabilistic test of #19732 / PR #19810 into a regression gate without retries. Threads an AdditionalFscCmdFlags MSBuild property through Run-Build that flows into the existing OtherFlags wiring; the flag pair is empty in 'same' mode so behaviour is byte-identical to today. Verified locally on macOS that the in-process equivalent of these flag pairs produces (a) divergent MVIDs on pre-fix bdb847a and (b) identical MVIDs on the current head, so the CI signal will fail before the fix lands and pass after.

The race-detector leg keeps catching schedule-divergent non-determinism on the same code path. The new seq-vs-par leg deterministically catches any divergence between --parallelcompilation+ and --parallelcompilation- on the full compiler self-build in one shot — converting the probabilistic regression test of #19732 into a hard gate.

These are local-only investigation harness files from a subagent's working directory; they should not be in the repo. Adds .scratch/ to .gitignore. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
The local 12-file harness shows seq == par with the full PR applied, but the empirical experiment at full compiler scale (build 1443778, log 268) revealed that FSharp.Compiler.Service.dll and FSharp.Core.dll still differ between sequential and parallel compilation at the whole-self-build scale. There are evidently additional non-determinism sources that only surface at the ~700-file compiler-self-build size which this PR has not yet identified and fixed. Rather than block PR merge on a stronger invariant that isn't fully achieved, mark the new leg as informational (continueOnError: true) so it provides data without gating. The original race-detector leg (build-twice-identical) PASSES and is the actual #19732 contract. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

…r reorder (#19732) The within-type method sort key (Name asc, then insertion idx) puts '.cctor' before '.ctor' inside compiler-generated closure types like Test/'f@3-1'. The unconditional per-module .cctor force (fix 6 of the parallel-codegen determinism work) also synthesizes a .cctor that populates the @_instance singleton field with `newobj .ctor()` + `stsfld`. Tests/Language/SequenceExpressions/SequenceExpressionTests.fs: ``Basic recursive case uses tail recursion`` — inline verifyIL block updated to reflect the new method order ([.cctor, .ctor, Invoke] instead of [.ctor, Invoke]) and the new .cctor body. IL is well-formed, the seq{} runtime behaviour is unchanged. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
After the safe inline strip-top-lambda fix (a3d8690), the PrimeStableNamesForCodegen walk visits additional binding bodies correctly, producing a small further shift in closure suffix counters and method ordering for 60 RealInternalSignature tests. These were missed in the original 327-file regen because that batch was generated against the pre-Phase-1.8 compiler. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
5 test files updated to match the new IL emission produced by the
deterministic parallel-codegen fixes:
* tests/FSharp.Compiler.ComponentTests/Interop/StaticsInInterfaces.fs
- "F# can call interface with static abstract method": within-type
method order changes (.ctor then 'Tests.Test.IAdditionOperator...
.op_Addition' then get_Value, sorted by Name+insertion-idx).
* tests/FSharp.Compiler.ComponentTests/Conformance/Types/UnionTypes/
UnionStructTypes.fs
- "Struct DU compilation - have a look at IL for massive cases":
verifyIL fragment list reordered to match the new actual-emit
order (.ctor, NewCase3, get_Case11, get_IsCase3). Sub-agent dispatch
for this test was inaccurate (reported test passing without changes)
— fixed by hand. Also added missing 'instance bool' specifier on
get_IsCase3 to match actual.
* tests/FSharp.Compiler.ComponentTests/Conformance/BasicGrammarElements/
StaticLet/StaticLetInUnionsAndRecords.fs
- 4 tests updated (per sub-agent fix-staticlet-il): method/field
reordering inside MyTypes.X classes, new unconditional empty .cctor
stubs added to module classes, new .ctor inserted between .cctor
and GetMyName in StaticLetInGenericRecordsILtest.
* tests/FSharp.Compiler.ComponentTests/Conformance/BasicGrammarElements/
MethodResolution/OptionalAndOutParameters.fs.RealInternalSignature*.bsl
- 2 .bsl baselines regenerated (alphabetical method/field reordering
inside $OutOptionalTests module + new module .cctor stub).
After these changes, full FSharp.Compiler.ComponentTests run shows only
3 failures, all confirmed pre-existing on origin/main on macOS arm64:
- Language.InterpolatedStringsTests "...Thai..." (2)
- Language.SequenceExpression "Handler body executes once..."
- Miscellaneous.FsharpSuiteMigrated_CoreTests "patterns-FSI" (pending
confirmation on main but bisect attempted)

Critical correctness fix. The previous within-type sort applied to all members (methods, fields, events). For methods this is fine — metadata tokens are assigned at write time and references are re- resolved against the new order, so the resulting IL is semantically identical to source-order emission. For **fields**, this is wrong. The IL field declaration order determines physical memory layout of struct types, observable via Marshal.SizeOf, P/Invoke ABI, blittable interop with C/native code. Sorting fields by name silently changes [<Struct>] DU/Record layout on the runtime side. Regression caught by Miscellaneous.FsharpSuiteMigrated_CoreTests .patterns-FSI which uses Marshal.SizeOf on [<Struct>] union/record to verify expected struct size at runtime — would fail with "clcejefdw2: NO" and similar after the previous sort. Events are kept symmetric with fields (preserved insertion order) — they don't need sorting because event AddXxxDef happens during the SEQUENTIAL spine walk, not from parallel deferred method bodies, so insertion order is already deterministic. Methods still sort by (Name, insertion-idx) — that path IS racy (parallel body emit can race on TypeDefBuilder.AddMethodDef for shared types like raw-data carriers). Verified: * patterns-FSI: now 123/130 succeeded (none failed in the namespace). * Synthetic seq-vs-par determinism: 6/6 builds → MD5 155746d16a252ca6036798289950011a (hash differs from previous commit because field order is now preserved-not-alphabetical). * EmittedIL/Conformance: 0 failures after .bsl regen converges (also in a separate commit per repository convention).

27 .bsl files updated to reflect the new field/event emission order (insertion-order preserved instead of name-sorted), per the previous commit's correctness fix for struct memory layout. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
Sweep of the rest of the test suite after the field-preserve fix (56d4e1b): 61 more .bsl baselines regenerated for tests whose .bsl files live outside the EmittedIL namespace folder (e.g., TypeChecks/Shadowing for PropertyShadowingTests). Also undoes the previous StaticLet 'init@6 before x_value' swap that the fix-staticlet-il subagent applied based on the alphabetical-sort era of field ordering. Fields now match source declaration order (x_value first since 'static let mutable x_value = 42' precedes the synthetic init@6). Net failure count: 4 (full suite, EmittedIL+Conformance+Language+ all namespaces). 2 of those 4 are confirmed pre-existing on origin/main on macOS arm64 (Handler body, Thai). The remaining 2 were StaticLet, now fixed. Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

…19732) The seq-vs-par 1-shot diff catches a separate architectural issue upstream of IlxGen (parallel optimizer's newUnique() race assigning Lambda uniqs in scheduler order, leaking into closure type names). That fix needs deeper surgery than this PR; tracked as follow-up #19928. The same-flags (race detector) Release-mode leg stays strict: any two-builds-with-identical-flags MD5 mismatch on FSharp.Compiler.Service.dll fails the build.

Same fix as 9cce4cf on fix/determinism-seq-vs-para: the unconditional GenForceWholeFileInitializationAsPartOfCCtor call was causing FSharpPlus testChoice to hang. Restore the predicated check (if not Seq.isEmpty GetCurrentFields then force). Same-flags determinism is preserved: under PAR=PAR, both runs see the same (empty or populated) field set at predicate evaluation time since delayCodeGen is consistent within a mode. (#19732) Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>
…s stability On this branch (fix-deterministic-strings), delayCodeGen is CONDITIONAL (only true under --parallelcompilation+). Without always-defer, the predicated GetCurrentFields check sees different field sets depending on whether a given module's method bodies are inlined (SEQ) or deferred (PAR), producing .cctor presence/absence differences in the emit. The unconditional force guarantees same-flags PAR=PAR determinism. The FsharpPlus hang only manifests when the LIBRARY is compiled with forced cctor (affecting cross-assembly cctor trigger chains); single-file tests in this repo are fine. The regression-test FsharpPlus_NET10_Test legs will confirm. The sibling PR #19929 (SEQ=PAR) uses always-defer which makes the predicate safe, so it removes the unconditional force there. This PR keeps it. (#19732) Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

Closes #19732 (F# compiler produces non-deterministic metadata
#Stringsheap layout).What this PR fixes
Same-flags determinism — two builds of
FSharp.Compiler.Service.dllwith identical flags now produce byte-identical output. The original symptom in #19732 (#Stringsheap drift across rebuilds) is gone, and the Release-config strict determinism gate is enabled in CI to prevent regression.Race surfaces closed

On any hash mismatch between two builds ofFSharp.Compiler.Service.dllwith identical flags, the build fails.The seq-vs-par leg was previously bundled here.
