The basic conversion is a straightforward conversion of the linear
recursion to a loop forwards and backwards propagation of the result.
But this uses an optimization to avoid the need for extra space that
would otherwise be necessary to store the stack of unfinished states as
the function is not tail recursive.
Observe that only non-root-nodes in cycles have a recursive call and
that every such call overwrites their own node state. Thus we reuse the
node state itself as temporary storage for the stack of unfinished
states by inverting the links to a chain back to the previous state
update. When we hit the root or end of the full explored chain we
propagate the node state update backwards by following the chain until
a node with a link to itself.
Avoid BorrowMutError with RUSTC_LOG=debug
```console
$ touch empty.rs
$ env RUSTC_LOG=debug rustc +stage1 --crate-type=lib empty.rs
```
Fails with a `BorrowMutError` because source map files are already
borrowed while `features_query` attempts to format a log message
containing a span.
Release the borrow before the query to avoid the issue.
perf: buffer SipHasher128
This is an attempt to improve Siphasher128 performance by buffering input. Although it reduces instruction count, I'm not confident the effect on wall times, or lack-thereof, is worth the change.
---
Additional notes not reflected in source comments:
* Implementation choices were guided by a combination of results from rustc-perf and micro-benchmarks, mostly the former.
* ~~I tried a couple of different struct layouts that might be more cache friendly with no obvious effect.~~ Update: a particular struct layout was chosen, but it's not critical to performance. See comments in source and discussion below.
* I suspect that buffering would be important to a SIMD-accelerated algorithm, but from what I've read and my own tests, SipHash does not seem very amenable to SIMD acceleration, at least by SSE.
Simplify query proc-macros
The query code generation is split between proc-macros and regular macros in `rustc_middle::ty::query`.
This PR removes unused capabilities of the proc-macros, and tend to use regular macros for the logic.
Try to make ObligationForest more efficient
This PR tries to decrease the number of allocations in ObligationForest, as well as moves some cold path code to an uninlined function.
This is a combination of 18 commits.
Commit #2:
Additional examples and some small improvements.
Commit #3:
fixed mir-opt non-mir extensions and spanview title elements
Corrected a fairly recent assumption in runtest.rs that all MIR dump
files end in .mir. (It was appending .mir to the graphviz .dot and
spanview .html file names when generating blessed output files. That
also left outdated files in the baseline alongside the files with the
incorrect names, which I've now removed.)
Updated spanview HTML title elements to match their content, replacing a
hardcoded and incorrect name that was left in accidentally when
originally submitted.
Commit #4:
added more test examples
also improved Makefiles with support for non-zero exit status and to
force validation of tests unless a specific test overrides it with a
specific comment.
Commit #5:
Fixed rare issues after testing on real-world crate
Commit #6:
Addressed PR feedback, and removed temporary -Zexperimental-coverage
-Zinstrument-coverage once again supports the latest capabilities of
LLVM instrprof coverage instrumentation.
Also fixed a bug in spanview.
Commit #7:
Fix closure handling, add tests for closures and inner items
And cleaned up other tests for consistency, and to make it more clear
where spans start/end by breaking up lines.
Commit #8:
renamed "typical" test results "expected"
Now that the `llvm-cov show` tests are improved to normally expect
matching actuals, and to allow individual tests to override that
expectation.
Commit #9:
test coverage of inline generic struct function
Commit #10:
Addressed review feedback
* Removed unnecessary Unreachable filter.
* Replaced a match wildcard with remining variants.
* Added more comments to help clarify the role of successors() in the
CFG traversal
Commit #11:
refactoring based on feedback
* refactored `fn coverage_spans()`.
* changed the way I expand an empty coverage span to improve performance
* fixed a typo that I had accidently left in, in visit.rs
Commit #12:
Optimized use of SourceMap and SourceFile
Commit #13:
Fixed a regression, and synched with upstream
Some generated test file names changed due to some new change upstream.
Commit #14:
Stripping out crate disambiguators from demangled names
These can vary depending on the test platform.
Commit #15:
Ignore llvm-cov show diff on test with generics, expand IO error message
Tests with generics produce llvm-cov show results with demangled names
that can include an unstable "crate disambiguator" (hex value). The
value changes when run in the Rust CI Windows environment. I added a sed
filter to strip them out (in a prior commit), but sed also appears to
fail in the same environment. Until I can figure out a workaround, I'm
just going to ignore this specific test result. I added a FIXME to
follow up later, but it's not that critical.
I also saw an error with Windows GNU, but the IO error did not
specify a path for the directory or file that triggered the error. I
updated the error messages to provide more info for next, time but also
noticed some other tests with similar steps did not fail. Looks
spurious.
Commit #16:
Modify rust-demangler to strip disambiguators by default
Commit #17:
Remove std::process::exit from coverage tests
Due to Issue #77553, programs that call std::process::exit() do not
generate coverage results on Windows MSVC.
Commit #18:
fix: test file paths exceeding Windows max path len
SipHasher128 implements short_write in an endian-independent way, yet
its write_xxx Hasher trait methods undo this endian-independence by byte
swapping the integer inputs on big-endian hardware. StableHasher then
adds endian-independence back by also byte-swapping on big-endian
hardware prior to invoking SipHasher128.
This double swap may have the appearance of being a no-op, but is in
fact by design. In particular, we really do want SipHasher128 to be
platform-dependent, in order to be consistent with the libstd SipHasher.
Try to clarify this intent. Also, add and update a couple of unit tests.
SsoHashSet::replace had to be removed because
it requires missing API from SsoHashMap.
It's not a widely used function, so I think it's ok
to omit it for now.
EitherIter moved into its own file.
Also sprinkled code with #[inline] attributes where appropriate.
Make `ensure_sufficient_stack()` non-generic, using cargo-llvm-lines
Inspired by [this blog post](https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2020/08/05/how-to-speed-up-the-rust-compiler-some-more-in-2020/) from `@nnethercote,` I used [cargo-llvm-lines](https://github.com/dtolnay/cargo-llvm-lines/) on the rust compiler itself, to improve it's compile time. This PR contains only one low-hanging fruit, but I also want to share some measurements.
The function `ensure_sufficient_stack()` was monomorphized 1500 times, and with it the `stacker` and `psm` crates, for a total of 1.5% of all llvm IR lines. With some trickery I convert the generic closure into a dynamic one, and thus all that code is only monomorphized once.
# Measurements
Getting these numbers took some fiddling with CLI flags and I [modified](https://github.com/Julian-Wollersberger/cargo-llvm-lines/blob/master/src/main.rs#L115) cargo-llvm-lines to read from a folder instead of invoking cargo. Commands I used:
```
./x.py clean
RUSTFLAGS="--emit=llvm-ir -C link-args=-fuse-ld=lld -Z self-profile=profile" CARGOFLAGS_BOOTSTRAP="-Ztimings" RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 ./x.py build -i --stage 1 library/std
# Then manually copy all .ll files into a folder I hardcoded in cargo-llvm-lines in main.rs#L115
cd ../cargo-llvm-lines
cargo run llvm-lines
```
The result is this list (see [first 500 lines](https://github.com/Julian-Wollersberger/cargo-llvm-lines/blob/master/llvm-lines-rustc-before.txt) ), before the change:
```

All `.ll` files together had 4.4GB. After my change they had 4.2GB. So a few percent less code LLVM has to process. Hurray!
Sadly, I couldn't measure an actual wall-time improvement. Watching YouTube while compiling added to much noise...
Here is the top of the list after the change:
```
16460866 (100%) 58341 (100%) (TOTAL)
1903085 (11.6%) 504 (0.9%) rustc_query_system::query::plumbing::get_query_impl::{{closure}}
1331918 (8.1%) 1287 (2.2%) hashbrown::raw::RawTable<T>::reserve_rehash

551462 (3.4%) 1519 (2.6%) rustc_data_structures::stack::ensure_sufficient_stack::{{closure}}
```
Note that the total was reduced by 430 000 lines and `psm::on_stack::with_on_stack` has disappeared. Instead `rustc_data_structures::stack::ensure_sufficient_stack::{{closure}}` appeared. I'm confused about that one, but it seems to consist of inlined calls to `rustc_query_system::*` stuff.
Further note the other two big culprits in this list: `rustc_query_system` and `hashbrown`. These two are monomorphized many times, the query system summing to more than 20% of all lines, not even counting code that's probably inlined elsewhere.
Assuming compile times scale linearly with llvm-lines, that means a possible 20% compile time reduction.
Reducing eg. `get_query_impl` would probably need a major refactoring of the qery system though. _Everything_ in there is generic over multiple types, has associated types and passes generic Self arguments by value. Which means you can't simply make things `dyn`.
---------------------------------------
This PR is a small step to make rustc compile faster and thus make contributing to rustc less painful. Nonetheless I love Rust and I find the work around rustc fascinating :)
use `array_windows` instead of `windows` in the compiler
I do think these changes are beautiful, but do have to admit that using type inference for the window length
can easily be confusing. This seems like a general issue with const generics, where inferring constants adds an additional
complexity which users have to learn and keep in mind.
Remove redundant nightly features
Removes a bunch of redundant/outdated nightly features. The first commit removes a `core_intrinsics` use for which a stable wrapper has been provided since. The second commit replaces the `const_generics` feature with `min_const_generics` which might get stabilized this year. The third commit is the result of a trial/error run of removing every single feature and then adding it back if compile failed. A bunch of unused features are the result that the third commit removes.
