Conversation
`Builder.bind` has a fast path for a constant right-hand side (an int, float,
str or int32 IntImm) that returns the value directly and drops the name's
binding record. Assigning a constant to a name that already has a live binding
in an enclosing region therefore went through unremarked: the constant replaced
the value at trace time, the enclosing `if` was dropped, and every later read
saw the constant unconditionally.
for i in T.serial(4):
val = A[i]
if val < 10:
val = 10
if val > 100:
val = 100
Out[i] = val
With A = [5, 50, 150, 10] this returned [10, 10, 10, 10] instead of
[10, 50, 100, 10]. The expression form of the same rebind is already rejected
with "Immutable variable `val` is used outside its defining region!", so the
same illegal program was accepted or rejected depending only on the form of the
right-hand side.
The fast path now rejects that rebind with the same message. A constant whose
region has already closed stays reusable, so nothing that a closed scope
introduced starts expiring.

ChangesConstant rebinding
Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change rejects a constant rebind of a name that is still live in an enclosing region. Previously such a rebind could silently drop the enclosing conditional. Same-level rebinds and reuse after region closure are covered by tests. No merge-blocking risk was found. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change rejects invalid cross-scope assignments rather than expanding access or privileges. Remaining uncertainty concerns repeated-assignment compatibility and downstream exposure of compilation, not an established security vulnerability.

- Line 691: In the accepted int32 IntImm replacement path, clear the stale entry
for name from self.name_inside_frame before returning the Python value, so later
conditional assignments behave like they do after a Python integer replacement.

A constant is not a TIR binding, so a record left by an earlier expression
binding of the same name has to be cleared when the name is reassigned to a
constant. Only the int/float/str path did that; the int32 IntImm path returned
the value without clearing anything, so the record survived and the name was
reported as outside its defining region once that region closed:
for i in T.serial(1):
val = A[i]
val = 7 # readable afterwards
val = T.int32(7) # RuntimeError: Immutable variable `val` is used
# outside its defining region!
Same constant, same scope, two spellings, two outcomes. Both paths now clear
the record.
Refs #2977.
Why
Builder.bindhas a fast path for a constant right-hand side (anint,float,strorint32IntImm) that returns the value directly and drops the name's binding record. Assigning a constant to a name that already has a live binding in an enclosing region therefore went through unremarked: the constant replaced the value at trace time, the enclosingifwas dropped, and every later read saw the constant unconditionally.With
A = [5, 50, 150, 10]this returned[10, 10, 10, 10]instead of[10, 50, 100, 10].The expression form of the same rebind is already rejected:
so the same illegal program was accepted or silently miscompiled depending only on the form of the right-hand side.
What changed
Two commits.
The constant fast path rejects that rebind with the same message, before it drops the record. The rejection is narrow in two ways:
Verification
testing/python/language/test_tilelang_language_loop_target_binding.py, the module that already asserts this message for the loop-target and expired-local cases: theintandIntImmspellings of the conditional rebind, plus controls for a same-level rebind and for reuse after the region closed. The two rejection cases fail on an unmodified tree withDID NOT RAISE RuntimeError; both controls pass in both states.testing/python/transform/,testing/python/quantize/andtesting/python/components/. The two deselected are pre-existing environment limits on dynamic shared memory size. No test in either group relies on the accepted rebind.A second commit makes the two constant paths clear the name's record alike. Only the
int/float/strpath did; theint32IntImmpath returned the value and left the record behind, so a record from an earlier expression binding of the same name outlived its region, and the same constant read two ways behaved differently:The
spellingcase above covers both spellings, and it is theIntImmone that fails without the second commit.Summary
Builder.bindnow rejects constant rebinds when the name has a live binding in an enclosing region. It raises the existing “outside its defining region” error.IntImmfast path also clears stale binding-scope tracking. This allows reuse after the defining region closes.T.int32rebinds, same-level rebinding, and constant reuse after a region closes.Verified end to end, together with the other contributions from this batch: VERIFICATION.md
