When a chaperone-wrapped function leads to a slow-path tail
call, the continuation-mark depth can be made too deep when
resolving the slow tail call.
Closes#1265
Mostly just fill in some corners, but also fix a bug with lifted
functions that accepted a boxed argument and have less than three
arguments total.
The `tests/racket/test` test suite now passes with
`PLT_RECOMPILE_COMPILE` set --- except for the "optimize.rktl" test
suite, wher emore work is needed to ensure that optimizations
don't get lost.
Reduce
(eq? v v) ==> #t
(if t v v) ==> (begin t v)
(if v v #f) ==> v
when v is a local or a top level variable.
Previously, the last two reductions were used only
with local variables.
Also, move the (if x #t #f) ==> (not x) reduction
after branch optimization.
When a key is removed at a level that other only has a collision
table, the HAMT representation was not adjusted properly by
eliminating the layer. As aresult, table comparison via
`equal?` could fail. The problem could show up with hash tables
used to represent scope sets, where an internal "subset?" test
could fail and produce an incorrect binding resolution.
The transformation from
(begin (let <bindings> (begin <e1> ...)) <e2> ...)
to
(let <bindings> (begin <e1> ... <e2> ...))
makes things look simpler and might help the optimizer a little. But
it also tends to make the run-time stack deeper, and that slows some
programs a small but measurable amount.
A better solution would be to keep the transformation but add another
pass that moves expressions out of a `let`.
Since this operation only moves the code and doesn't make the final
bytecode bigger, it's not necessary to decrease the fuel and then it
is available for further inlining.
The calculation of used variables in a possibly unused function did
not work right when the function is referenced by a more deeply
nested function that itself is unused. The extra uses triggered by
more nested uses need to be registered as tentative in the more nested
frame, not in the outer frame.
Closes#1247
On Unix and OS X, the check to avoid replacing an existing
file or directory is made by Racket, rather than the OS,
so don't claim a system error if the operation fails for
that reason.
Also, update the docs to clarify that the check is not
atomic with the move.
Closes issue #1158
Correct the second-biggest design flaw in the bytecode optimizer:
instead of using a de Bruijn-like representation of variable
references in the optimizer pass, use variable objects.
This change is intended to address limitations on programs like the
one in
http://bugs.racket-lang.org/query/?cmd=view&pr=15244
where the optimizer could not perform a straightforward-seeming
transformation due to the constraints of its representation.
Besides handling the bug-report example better, there are other minor
optimization improvements as a side effect of refactoring the code. To
simplify the optimizer's implementation (e.g., eliminate code that I
didn't want to convert) and also preserve success for optimizer tests,
the optimizer ended up getting a little better at flattening and
eliminating `let` forms and `begin`--`let` combinations.
Overall, the optimizer tests in "optimize.rktl" pass, which helps
ensure that no optimizations were lost. I had to modify just a few
tests:
* The test at line 2139 didn't actually check against reordering as
intended, but was instead checking that the bug-report limitation
was intact (and now it's not).
* The tests around 3095 got extra `p` references, because the
optimizer is now able to eliminate an unused `let` around the
second case, but it still doesn't discover the unusedness of `p` in
the first case soon enough to eliminate the `let`. The extra
references prevent eliminating the `let` in both case, since that's
not the point of the tests.
Thanks to Gustavo for taking a close look at the changes.
