Compile a `for[*]/list` form to behave more like `map` by `cons`ing
onto a recursive call, instead of accumulating a list to reverse.
This style of compilation requires a different strategy than before.
A form like
(for*/fold ([v 0]) ([i (in-range M)]
[j (in-range N)])
j)
compiles as nested loops, like
(let i-loop ([v 0] [i 0])
(if (unsafe-fx< i M)
(i-loop (let j-loop ([v v] [j 0])
(if (unsafe-fx< j N)
(j-loop (SEL v j) (unsafe-fx+ j 1))
v))
(unsafe-fx+ i 1))
v))
instead of mutually recursive loops, like
(let i-loop ([v 0] [i 0])
(if (unsafe-fx< i M)
(let j-loop ([v v] [j 0])
(if (unsafe-fx< j N)
(j-loop (SEL v j) (unsafe-fx+ j 1))
(i-loop v (unsafe-fx+ i 1))))
v))
The former runs slightly faster. It's difficult to say why, for
certain, but the reason may be that the JIT can generate more direct
jumps for self-recursion than mutual recursion. (In the case of mutual
recursion, the JIT has to generate one function or the other to get a
known address to jump to.)
Nested loops con't work for `for/list`, though, since each `cons`
needs to be wrapped around the whole continuation of the computation.
So, the `for` compiler adapts, depending on the initial form. (With a
base, CPS-like approach to support `for/list`, it's easy to use the
nested mode when it works by just not fully CPSing.)
Forms that use `#:break` or `#:final` use the mutual-recursion
approach, because `#:break` and #:final` are easier and faster that
way. Internallt, that simplies the imoplementation. Externally, a
`for` loop with `#:break` or `#:final` can be slightly faster than
before.
The optimizer can detect that some expressions will escape through
an error, and it can discard surrounding code in that case. It should
not change the tailness of a `with-continuation-mark` form by
liftng it out of a nested position, however. Doing so can eliminate
stack frames that should be visible via errotrace, for example.
This change fixes the optimizer to wrap an extra `(begin ... (void))`
around an expression if it's lifted out of a nested context and
might have a `with-continuation-mark` form in tail position.
In
(with-syntax ([x ....])
#'(x y))
and property on the source syntax object `(x y)` was lost in
constructing a new syntax object to substitute for `x`, while
properties on preserved literal syntax objects, such as `y`
were intact. Change `syntax` to preserve properties for
reconstructed parts of the template.
This change exposes a problem with 'transparent taint modes,
where the internal "is original?" property was preserved while
losing scopes that wuld cancel originalness. So, that's fixed
here, too.
extend optimize_ignore to go inside expressions with
begin, begin0 and let.
Also, try to reuse begin's in the first argument of
make_discarding_sequence.
If a mutable hash table changes while it's being printed,
various parts of the printing function could see a mismatch
between the current size and an old array size. To avoid this
problem, extract the size whenever extracting the array.
An identifier that gets a module context via `module->namespace` plus
`namespace-syntax-introduce` should not count as having the module as
its source as reported by `syntax-source-module`.
The correct behavior happened for the wrong reason prior to commit
cb6af9664c.
Closes#1515
For a template expression that involevs ellipses, a wrapper is added
to catch failures an report as an "incompatible ellipsis match count"
error. The wrapper was only added when there are multiple pattern
variables with ellipses, but it turns out that it's possible to fail
with incompatible counts using a single pattern variable.
Besides handlign that case, the revised check avoids an unnecessary
wrapper in cases where multiple pattern variables have ellipses but
they are used independently in a template.
Closes#1511
Without this repair,
#lang racket/base
(require 2htdp/abstraction)
(for/list ((dropping-which-one (in-naturals)))
1)
fails to compile with a "optimizer clock tracking has gone wrong"
error. A variant of this test (that doesn't depend on `2htdp`)
is now in the "optimize.rktl"; a simpler and more direct test
should be possible, but I wasn't able to construct one.
When a thread that is blocked on a set of semaphores and channels
is suspended and resumed after one of the events becomes ready,
and if the event has a wrapper function, then the wrapper was
not applied and the event selection was not reported correctly.
Thanks to Philip McGrath for reporting the problem.
This kind of reductions were applied only when x or y was a constant.
Classify the relevant predicates in 4 categories. In particular,
if <expr> satisfy pred? we can use this classification to apply
the correct reduction:
(equal? <expr> y) ==> [no reduction, unless y has a different type]
(equal? <expr> y) ==> (eqv? <expr> y)
(equal? <expr> y) ==> (eq? <expr> y)
(equal? <expr> y) ==> (begin <expr> (pred? y))
Also, add a new primitive interned-char? that is hidden, but it's
useful to track in the optimizer the the chars? with a value < 256
that are interned because they are treated specially, and if they
are equal? then they are eq?.
... + prefix-in + relative-path module. All of those ingredients
(or some similar alternatives) are necessary to trigger a slow
way of saving module context for interaction evaluation where
a module-path index shift was getting lost.
Previously the relevant predicates where disjoint, and until this commit
the only predicate that recognizes #f was `not`. So it's necessary to fix
two reductions to allow other predicates that recognize #f, like `boolean?`.
Add a hidden `true-object?` primitive that recognizes only #t, that is also
useful to calculate unions and complements with `boolean?` and `not`.
Also, extend a special case for expressions like
(or (symbol? x) (something))
where the optimizer is confused by the temporal variable that saves the
result of `(symbol? x)`, and the final expression is equivalent to
(let ([temp (symbol? x)])
(if temp #t (something)))
This extension detects that the temporal variable is a `boolean?` and
reduces the expression to
(if (symbol? x) #t (something))

The optimizer assumed a fixnum result if either argument to
`bitwise-and` implies a fixnum result. That's not correct if the
fixnum agument is negative.
Thanks to Peter Samarin for a bug report.
Merge to v6.7
When calling a procedure that is attached as a
`prop:rename-transformer` property value, make sure that
any available expansion context is accessible as reflected by
`(syntax-transforming?)`.
Syntax parameters as rename transformers particularly rely on that
information for local expansion.
Thanks to Jay for the "stxparam.rktl" test.
Closes#1479
In a pattern like
a*b
a naive attempt to match will take quadratic time on an input that
contains all "a"s an no "b". To improve that case, the regexp compiler
detects that a match will require a "b" and checks the input for a "b"
to enable linear-time failure.
That optimization mishandled `(?!...)` and `(?<!...)` patterns,
treating the must-not-match subpatterns as things that must match.
So,
(regexp-match "a*(?!b)" "aaaxy")
returned false, because the input doesn't contain "b".
Thie commit repairs the optimization.
Closes#1468
Fix a regression relative to v6.4 caused by a refactoring of the
compiler between v6.4 and v6.5. The refactoring lost information about
letrecs that are converted internally to let* when a mutable variable
is involved, and it ends up allocating a closure before the box of a
mutable variable that is referenced by the closure. Something like
`with-continuation-mark` is needed around the closure's `lambda` to
prevent other optimizations from hiding the bug.
Closes#1462
The `if` case of the compiler's space-safety pass abused its "last
non-tail call relative to the closest enclosing binding" state as
"last non-tail call relative to the enclosing run time", which could
cause it to not clear a stack position as needed to maintain space
safety.
This makes two changes to the forms in racket/splicing to adjust how
syntax properties are propagated through expansion:
1. Uses of make-syntax-introducer are passed #t as the first argument,
which causes the introduced scope to be consider a use-site rather
than macro-introduction scope. This prevents syntax objects from
being unnecessarily marked as unoriginal, in the syntax-original?
sense.
2. Uses of syntax/loc have been adjusted to copy syntax properties
from original syntax objects, which were previously discared. Forms
that were spliced into the surrounding context, such as begin,
define-values, and define-syntaxes, recreated the top-level syntax
objects, which did not preserve syntax properties from the
originals.
This is not a perfect solution, mostly because it potentially elides
properties that may be associated with captured literals (that is,
properties attached directly to begin, define-values, or define-syntaxes
identifiers themselves). However, it seems to accommodate most of the
common use-cases: propagation of syntax-original?-ness and forms like
`struct`, which attach properties like 'sub-range-binders.
fixes#1410
A `struct-copy` form can generates a call for a constructor that
includes a sequence of `unsafe-struct-ref` arguments. Each
`unsafe-struct-ref` must still check for a chaperone. Make the JIT
recognize that pattern an turn it into a single test instead of
one test per `unsafe-struct-ref`.
Make the optimizer recognize and track `make-struct-property-type`
values, and use that information to recognize `make-struct-type`
calls that will defnitely succeed because a property that hs no
guard is given a value in the list of properties.
Combined with the change to require-keyword expansion, this
change allows the optimizer to inline `f` in
(define (g y)
(f #:x y))
(define (f #:x x)
(list x))
because the `make-struct-type` that appears between `g` and `f`
is determined to have no side-effect that would prevent `f` from
having its expected value.
When a module defines and exports an identifier at two phases,
and when another module imports both of them at the same phase,
an error was not reported as it should have been.
Some expressions are omittable only when the arguments have certain types.
In this case the application is marked with APPN_FLAG_OMITTABLE instead of relaying on the flags of the primitive.
The optimizer can't use this flag to move the expression inside a lamba or across a potential continuation capture, unlike other omittable expressions. They can be moved
only in more restricted conditions.
For example, in this program
#lang racket/base
(define n 10000)
(define m 10000)
(time
(define xs (build-list n (lambda (x) 0)))
(length xs)
(define ws (list->vector xs)) ; <-- omittable
(for ([i (in-range m)])
(vector-ref ws 0))) ; <-- ws is used once
If the optimizer moves the expression in the definition of ws inside the recursive
lambda that is created by the for, then the code is equivalent to:
#lang racket/base
(define n 10000)
(define m 10000)
(time
(define xs (build-list n (lambda (x) 0)))
(length xs)
(for ([i (in-range m)])
(vector-ref (list->vector xs) 0))) ; <-- moved here
And the new code is O(n*m) instead of O(n+m). This example is a minimized version
of the function kde from the plot package, where n=m and the bug changed the run
time from linear to quadratic.
The application of some procedures are omittables when the arguments have
certain properties. Check the arity of the procedure before marking the application as omittable.
The only case that appears to be relevant is the expression (-).
The relevant predicates are almost disjoint. The superposition
is solved with predicate_implies and predicate_implies_not.
This is also valid considering the equivalence classes modulo
eqv? and equal?. So if the optimizer knows that two expressions
X and Y have different relevant types, then it can reduce
(equal? X Y) ==> (begin X Y #f).
Allow a `struct` form to be recognized when it provides
a number as the 8th argument to `make-struct-type`. In
particular, that change allows the construction of
optional-keyword functions to be recognized as a
purely functional operation.
Also, allow the optimizer to use information about imports
when deciding whether a module-level form is functional.
It's ok to use that information, because the validator has
it, too.
This combination of changes allows something like
(define (f #:optional [x #f])
(later))
(define (later) ....)
to compile to a reference to `later` wihout a check.
Due to an obvious problem in the setup, the letrec-check pass wasn't
running an intended dead-code pruning pass. Correcting the problem
cuases one test in "optimize.rktl" to change, because the letrec-check
pass can see more in one case than thanother.
(Problem discovered by accidentally fixing the setup in a Racket
branch based on "linklets".)
Along with the `PLT_COMPILED_FILE_CHECK` environment variable, allows
the timestamp check to be disabled when deciding whether to use a
compiled bytecode file.
In accomodating this change, `raco make` and `raco setup` in all modes
check whether the SHA1 hash of a module source matches the one
recorded in its ".dep" file, even if the timestamp on the bytecode
file is newer. (If the compile-file check mode is 'exists, the
timestamp is completely ignored.)
After refactoring the test for the inferred types of some procedures that
use vector?/bytes?/string?/list? it was easier to spot the missing information.
Note that in the documentation, some arguments like the position in
(vector-ref <vector> <position>)
are documented as exact-nonnegative-integer? but due to the implementation
details they are actually in a subset of fixnum?s.
When `read` parses a literal hash table, it inserts an placeholder
just in case it's needed for cycles. The `unsafe-immutable-hash-...`
operations in some cases did not detect and remove the placeholder.
Closes#1376
Merge to v6.6
The namespace returned by `variable-reference->namespace` (or
`namespace-anchor->namespace`) may be used via `eval` to define new
bindings, so enable top-level binding support for the namespace.
for example, make the optimizer convert something like
(struct a (x))
(lambda (v) (if (a? v) (a-x v) #f))
to
(struct a (x))
(lambda (v) (if (a? v) (unsafe-struct-ref v 0) #f))
The optimizer change in e887fa56d1 recognized struct declarations that
involved only whitelisted properties to guarantee that constructor
properties are preserved --- while `prop:chaperone-unsafe-undefined`
can affect the constructor, and other properties might imply that one.
But the optimizer's transformer aren't actually invalidated by
`prop:chaperone-unsafe-undefined`; the JIT's assumptions are affected,
but that's handled in a different way. So, remove the whitelist and
allow any property list.
The optimizer tries to reduce the `if` assuming that the result will be used.
In case it later detects that the result will be ignored, it can try to
apply some additional reductions to the branches and to the whole expression.
This function exposes the fast subset operation that is built in for
immutable hash tables (and used by the set-of-scopes implementation).
Also, make the space optimization implicit for `eq?`-based hash tables
that contain only #t values (instead of explicit and only available
internally). It turns out to be easy and efficient to make the
representation automatic, because the HAMT implementation can support
a mixture of nodes with some containing explicit values and some
containing implicit #t values.
When the properties argument for `make-struct-type` is non-empty,
then we cant; guarantee that `make-struct-type` succeeds, but
if it does, then we can still know that the result is a structure
type and (as long as `prop:chaperone-unsafe-undefined` is not
involved) the properties don't affect the constructor, predicate,
selector, or mutators.
This fixes an immediate problem, but the macro expander should have
complained about an unbound `maybe` at phase 2. (A new implementation
of the macro expander detected the unbound `maybe`.)
When an array value is provided, make sure that it's an array
with at least the expected length (or longer) and same element
layout. That's weaker than checking that the array elements have
the right type, because an `eq?` check at the ctype layer seems
too strong, and the ctype API doesn't provide enough information
for a more flexible equality.
A phase shift was mising on `begin-for-syntax`es introduced by
`syntax-local-lift-module-end-declaration`, which is in turn
used to implement` module+`, so `module+` didn't work under
two or more `begin-for-syntaxes`.
Closes#1312
Syntax objects generally make sense as properties in other syntax
objects, but they require special care when marshaling to bytecode
(as syntax objects do in general). To make that special handling
possible and reliable, constrain the shape of allowed values.
The name `path-extension` created a conflict for an existing
registered package, so it should not have been added to
`racket/path`.
Also, `path-get-extension` was intended to work on a path
that is syntactically a directory, so fix and test that.
Change the one expansion mode as far as I can tell) that disables
lifts so that lifts are now allowed, which means that
`(syntax-transforming?)` implies `(syntax-transforming--with-lifts?)`.
The old documentation incorrectly characterized when lifts
were allowed. Ryan noticed the documentation problem, and that
observation led to this simplication.
A `#:name` identifier picks the name that is bound to static
information about a structure type. An `#:extra-name` identifier
specifies an additional name to be bound to the information.
This pair of options is analogous to `#:constructor-name`
and `#:extra-constructor-name`.
Based on Jen Axel's suggestion and implementation.
Closes#1309
Provide a cleaned-up set up path-extension functions. In contrast
to `path-{add,replace}-suffix` and `filename-extension`, a dot
at the beginning of a path element is not treated as an extension
separator. Also, `path-extension` returns an extension including
its separator, which is more consistent with other extension
functions.
The new `path-has-extension?` function replaces many uses of
regexp matching in the base collections.
