Previously, the right hand side was always evaluated before the
left hand side for constant assignments. For the following:
```ruby
lhs::C = rhs
```
rhs was evaluated before lhs, which is inconsistant with attribute
assignment (lhs.m = rhs), and apparently also does not conform to
JIS 3017:2013 11.4.2.2.3.
Fix this by changing evaluation order. Previously, the above
compiled to:
```
0000 putself ( 1)[Li]
0001 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:rhs, argc:0, FCALL|VCALL|ARGS_SIMPLE>
0003 dup
0004 putself
0005 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:lhs, argc:0, FCALL|VCALL|ARGS_SIMPLE>
0007 setconstant :C
0009 leave
```
After this change:
```
0000 putself ( 1)[Li]
0001 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:lhs, argc:0, FCALL|VCALL|ARGS_SIMPLE>
0003 putself
0004 opt_send_without_block <calldata!mid:rhs, argc:0, FCALL|VCALL|ARGS_SIMPLE>
0006 swap
0007 topn 1
0009 swap
0010 setconstant :C
0012 leave
```
Note that if expr is not a module/class, then a TypeError is not
raised until after the evaluation of rhs. This is because that
error is raised by setconstant. If we wanted to raise TypeError
before evaluation of rhs, we would have to add a VM instruction
for calling vm_check_if_namespace.
Changing assignment order for single assignments caused problems
in the multiple assignment code, revealing that the issue also
affected multiple assignment. Fix the multiple assignment code
so left-to-right evaluation also works for constant assignments.
Do some refactoring of the multiple assignment code to reduce
duplication after adding support for constants. Rename struct
masgn_attrasgn to masgn_lhs_node, since it now handles both
constants and attributes. Add add_masgn_lhs_node static function
for adding data for lhs attribute and constant setting.
Fixes [Bug #15928]
This `NODE` type was used in pre-YARV implementation, to improve
the performance of assignment to dynamic local variable defined at
the innermost scope. It has no longer any actual difference with
`NODE_DASGN`, except for the node dump.
* Use duparray when possible for argspush
ARGSPUSH is the node we see with a single value pushed to the end of a
splatted array. ARGSCAT is similar, but is used when multiple values are
being concatenated to the list.
Previously only ARGSCAT had an optimization where when all the values
were static it would use duparray instead of newarray to create the
intermediate array.
This commit adds similar behaviour for ARGSPUSH, using duparray instead
of putobject/newarray.
* Replace duparray with putobject before concatarray
When performing duparray/concatarray we know we'll never use the
intermediate array being created by duparray, so we should be able to
use it as a temporary object.
This avoids an extra array allocation for NODE_ARGSPUSH (ex. [*foo, 1])
and NODE_ARGSCAT (ex. [*foo, 1, 2]).
Dumped iseq binary can not have unnamed symbols/IDs, and ID 0 is
stored instead. As `struct rb_id_table` disallows ID 0, also for
the distinction, re-assign a new temporary ID based on the local
variable table index when loading from the binary, as well as the
parser.
The implementation of a local variable tables was represented as `ID*`,
but it was very hacky: the first element is not an ID but the size of
the table, and, the last element is (sometimes) a link to the next local
table only when the id tables are a linked list.
This change converts the hacky implementation to a normal struct.
This provides a significant speedup for symbol, true, false,
nil, and 0-9, class/module, and a small speedup in most other cases.
Speedups (using included benchmarks):
:symbol :: 60%
0-9 :: 50%
Class/Module :: 50%
nil/true/false :: 20%
integer :: 10%
[] :: 10%
"" :: 3%
One reason this approach is faster is it reduces the number of
VM instructions for each interpolated value.
Initial idea, approach, and benchmarks from Eric Wong. I applied
the same approach against the master branch, updating it to handle
the significant internal changes since this was first proposed 4
years ago (such as CALL_INFO/CALL_CACHE -> CALL_DATA). I also
expanded it to optimize true/false/nil/0-9/class/module, and added
handling of missing methods, refined methods, and RUBY_DEBUG.
This renames the tostring insn to anytostring, and adds an
objtostring insn that implements the optimization. This requires
making a few functions non-static, and adding some non-static
functions.
This disables 4 YJIT tests. Those tests should be reenabled after
YJIT optimizes the new objtostring insn.

Compare with the C methods, A built-in methods written in Ruby is
slower if only mandatory parameters are given because it needs to
check the argumens and fill default values for optional and keyword
parameters (C methods can check the number of parameters with `argc`,
so there are no overhead). Passing mandatory arguments are common
(optional arguments are exceptional, in many cases) so it is important
to provide the fast path for such common cases.
`Primitive.mandatory_only?` is a special builtin function used with
`if` expression like that:
```ruby
def self.at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil)
if Primitive.mandatory_only?
Primitive.time_s_at1(time)
else
Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in))
end
end
```
and it makes two ISeq,
```
def self.at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil)
Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in))
end
def self.at(time)
Primitive.time_s_at1(time)
end
```
and (2) is pointed by (1). Note that `Primitive.mandatory_only?`
should be used only in a condition of an `if` statement and the
`if` statement should be equal to the methdo body (you can not
put any expression before and after the `if` statement).
A method entry with `mandatory_only?` (`Time.at` on the above case)
is marked as `iseq_overload`. When the method will be dispatch only
with mandatory arguments (`Time.at(0)` for example), make another
method entry with ISeq (2) as mandatory only method entry and it
will be cached in an inline method cache.
The idea is similar discussed in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16254
but it only checks mandatory parameters or more, because many cases
only mandatory parameters are given. If we find other cases (optional
or keyword parameters are used frequently and it hurts performance),
we can extend the feature.
`RubyVM.keep_script_lines` enables to keep script lines
for each ISeq and AST. This feature is for debugger/REPL
support.
```ruby
RubyVM.keep_script_lines = true
RubyVM::keep_script_lines = true
eval("def foo = nil\ndef bar = nil")
pp RubyVM::InstructionSequence.of(method(:foo)).script_lines
```
Since opt_getinlinecache and opt_setinlinecache point to the same cache
struct, there is no need to track the index of the get instruction and
then store it on the cache struct later when processing the set
instruction. Setting it when processing the get instruction works just
as well.
This change reduces our diff.
Make sure `opt_getinlinecache` is in a block all on its own, and
invalidate it from the interpreter when `opt_setinlinecache`.
It will recompile with a filled cache the second time around.
This lets YJIT runs well when the IC for constant is cold.
Insert generated addresses into st_table for mapping native code
addresses back to info about VM instructions. Export `encoded_insn_data`
to do this. Also some style fixes.
This commit dumps the outer variables table when dumping an iseq to
binary. This fixes a case where Ractors aren't able to tell what outer
variables belong to a lambda after the lambda is loaded via ISeq.load_from_binary
[Bug #18232] [ruby-core:105504]
This updates the trace instructions to directly dispatch to
opt_send_without_block. So this should cause no slowdown in
non-trace mode.
To enable the tracing of the optimized methods, RUBY_EVENT_C_CALL
and RUBY_EVENT_C_RETURN are added as events to the specialized
instructions.

Ignore test failures of typeprof caused by this change for now.
On -DUSE_EMBED_CI=0, there are more GC allocations and the old code
didn't keep old_operands[0] reachable while allocating. On a Debian
based system, I get a crash requiring erb under GC stress mode. On
macOS, tool/transcode-tblgen.rb runs incorrectly if I put GC.stress=true
as the first line.
Pin matching for local variables and constants is already supported,
and it is fairly simple to add support for these variable types.
Note that pin matching for method calls is still not supported
without wrapping in parentheses (pin expressions). I think that's
for the best as method calls are far more complex (arguments/blocks).
Implements [Feature #17724]
Since b2fc592c30 nothing was holding a reference to the dup'd CDHASH
during IBF loading. If a GC happened to run during IBF load then the
copied hash wouldn't have anything to keep it alive. We don't really
want to keep the originally loaded CDHASH hash, so this patch just
overwrites the original hash with the copied / modified hash.

This change implements a cache for class variables. Previously there was
no cache for cvars. Cvar access is slow due to needing to travel all the
way up th ancestor tree before returning the cvar value. The deeper the
ancestor tree the slower cvar access will be.
The benefits of the cache are more visible with a higher number of
included modules due to the way Ruby looks up class variables. The
benchmark here includes 26 modules and shows with the cache, this branch
is 6.5x faster when accessing class variables.

RubyVM::AST.of(Thread::Backtrace::Location) returns a node that
corresponds to the location. Typically, the node is a method call, but
not always.
This change also includes iseq's dump/load support of node_ids for each
instructions.
by merging `rb_ast_body_t#line_count` and `#script_lines`.
Fortunately `line_count == RARRAY_LEN(script_lines)` was always
satisfied. When script_lines is saved, it has an array of lines, and
when not saved, it has a Fixnum that represents the old line_count.
This option makes the parser keep the original source as an array of
the original code lines. This feature exploits the mechanism of
`SCRIPT_LINES__` but records only the specified code that is passed to
RubyVM::AST.of or .parse, instead of recording all parsed program texts.
The checkmatch instruction with VM_CHECKMATCH_TYPE_CASE calls
=== without a call cache. Emit a send instruction to make the call
instead. It includes a call cache.
The call cache improves throughput of using when statements to check the
class of a given object. This is useful for say, JSON serialization.
Use of a regular send instead of checkmatch also avoids taking the VM
lock every time, which is good for multi-ractor workloads.

The vm_case benchmark is a bit slower post patch, possibily due to the
larger instruction sequence. The benchmark dispatches using
opt_case_dispatch so was not running checkmatch and does not make the
=== call post patch.
It looks for "checkmatch", when it could be applied to anything that has
"newrange".
Making the optimization target more ranges might only be fair play when
all ranges are frozen. So I'm putting a reference to the ticket that
froze all ranges.
[Feature #15504]
Before this change, CDHASH operands were built as plain hashes when
loaded from binary. Without setting up the hash with the correct
st_table type, the hash can sometimes be an ar_table. When the hash is
an ar_table, lookups can call the `eql?` method on keys of the hash,
which makes the `opt_case_dispatch` instruction not "leaf" as it
implicitly declares.
The following script trips the stack canary for checking the leaf
attribute for `opt_case_dispatch` on VM_CHECK_MODE > 0 (enabled by
default with RUBY_DEBUG).
rb_vm_iseq = RubyVM::InstructionSequence
iseq = rb_vm_iseq.compile(<<-EOF)
case Class.new(String).new("foo")
when "foo"
42
end
EOF
puts rb_vm_iseq.load_from_binary(iseq.to_binary).eval
This commit changes the binary loading logic to build CDHASH with the
right st_table type. The dumping logic and the dump format stays the
same
609de71f04 fixes the issue by using
`throw` insn if `ensure` is used. However, that patch introduce
additional `throw` even if it is not needed. This patch solves
the issue.

Rational literals are those integers suffixed with `r`. They tend to
be a part of more complex expressions like `123/456r`, but in theory
they can live alone. When such "bare" rational literals are passed to

In regular assignment, Ruby evaluates the left hand side before
the right hand side. For example:
```ruby
foo[0] = bar
```
Calls `foo`, then `bar`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`.
Previously, multiple assignment didn't work this way. If you did:
```ruby
abc.def, foo[0] = bar, baz
```
Ruby would previously call `bar`, then `baz`, then `abc`, then
`def=` on the result of `abc`, then `foo`, then `[]=` on the
result of `foo`.
This change makes multiple assignment similar to single assignment,
changing the evaluation order of the above multiple assignment code
to calling `abc`, then `foo`, then `bar`, then `baz`, then `def=` on
the result of `abc`, then `[]=` on the result of `foo`.
Implementing this is challenging with the stack-based virtual machine.
We need to keep track of all of the left hand side attribute setter
receivers and setter arguments, and then keep track of the stack level
while handling the assignment processing, so we can issue the
appropriate topn instructions to get the receiver. Here's an example
of how the multiple assignment is executed, showing the stack and
instructions:
```
self # putself
abc # send
abc, self # putself
abc, foo # send
abc, foo, 0 # putobject 0
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz] # evaluate RHS
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, bar # expandarray
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, bar, abc # topn 5
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, abc, bar # swap
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, def= # send
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz # pop
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo # topn 3
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo, 0 # topn 3
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, foo, 0, baz # topn 2
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz, []= # send
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz], baz # pop
abc, foo, 0, [bar, baz] # pop
[bar, baz], foo, 0, [bar, baz] # setn 3
[bar, baz], foo, 0 # pop
[bar, baz], foo # pop
[bar, baz] # pop
```
As multiple assignment must deal with splats, post args, and any level
of nesting, it gets quite a bit more complex than this in non-trivial
cases. To handle this, struct masgn_state is added to keep
track of the overall state of the mass assignment, which stores a linked
list of struct masgn_attrasgn, one for each assigned attribute.
This adds a new optimization that replaces a topn 1/pop instruction
combination with a single swap instruction for multiple assignment
to non-aref attributes.
This new approach isn't compatible with one of the optimizations
previously used, in the case where the multiple assignment return value
was not needed, there was no lhs splat, and one of the left hand side
used an attribute setter. This removes that optimization. Removing
the optimization allowed for removing the POP_ELEMENT and adjust_stack
functions.
This adds a benchmark to measure how much slower multiple
assignment is with the correct evaluation order.
This benchmark shows:
* 4-9% decrease for attribute sets
* 14-23% decrease for array member sets
* Basically same speed for local variable sets
Importantly, it shows no significant difference between the popped
(where return value of the multiple assignment is not needed) and
!popped (where return value of the multiple assignment is needed)
cases for attribute and array member sets. This indicates the
previous optimization, which was dropped in the evaluation
order fix and only affected the popped case, is not important to
performance.

Previously, defined? could result in many more method calls than
the code it was checking. `defined? a.b.c.d.e.f` generated 15 calls,

the fact that defined works in a recursive manner, but it previously
did not cache results. So for `defined? a.b.c.d.e.f`, the logic was
similar to
```ruby
return nil unless defined? a
return nil unless defined? a.b
return nil unless defined? a.b.c
return nil unless defined? a.b.c.d
return nil unless defined? a.b.c.d.e
return nil unless defined? a.b.c.d.e.f
"method"
```
With this change, the logic is similar to the following, without
the creation of a local variable:
```ruby
return nil unless defined? a
_ = a
return nil unless defined? _.b
_ = _.b
return nil unless defined? _.c
_ = _.c
return nil unless defined? _.d
_ = _.d
return nil unless defined? _.e
_ = _.e
return nil unless defined? _.f
"method"
```
In addition to eliminating redundant method calls for defined
statements, this greatly simplifies the instruction sequences by
eliminating duplication. Previously:

This fixes issues where for pathological small examples, Ruby would generate
huge instruction sequences.
Unfortunately, implementing this support is kind of a hack. This adds another
parameter to compile_call for whether we should assume the receiver is already
present on the stack, and has defined? set that parameter for the specific
case where it is compiling a method call where the receiver is also a method
call.
defined_expr0 also takes an additional parameter for whether it should leave
the results of the method call on the stack. If that argument is true, in
the case where the method isn't defined, we jump to the pop before the leave,
so the extra result is not left on the stack. This requires space for an
additional label, so lfinish now needs to be able to hold 3 labels.

Peephole optimization doesn't play well with find pattern at

Callinfo was being written in to an array and the GC would not see the
reference on the stack. `new_insn_send` creates a new callinfo object,
then it calls `new_insn_core`. `new_insn_core` allocates a new INSN
linked list item, which can end up calling `xmalloc` which will trigger
a GC:
70cd351c7c/compile.c (L968-L969)
Since the callinfo object isn't on the stack, the GC won't see it, and
it can get collected. This patch just refactors `new_insn_send` to keep
the object on the stack

constant cache `IC` is accessed by non-atomic manner and there are
thread-safety issues, so Ruby 3.0 disables to use const cache on
non-main ractors.
This patch enables it by introducing `imemo_constcache` and allocates
it by every re-fill of const cache like `imemo_callcache`.
[Bug #17510]
Now `IC` only has one entry `IC::entry` and it points to
`iseq_inline_constant_cache_entry`, managed by T_IMEMO object.
`IC` is atomic data structure so `rb_mjit_before_vm_ic_update()` and
`rb_mjit_after_vm_ic_update()` is not needed.
Previously we would add code to check if an ivar was defined when using
`@foo ||= 123`, which was slower than `@foo || (@foo = 123)` when `@foo`
was already defined.
Recently 01b7d5acc7 made it so that
accessing an undefined variable no longer generates a warning, making
the defined check unnecessary and both statements exactly equal.
This commit avoids emitting the defined instruction when compiling
NODE_OP_ASGN_OR with a NODE_IVAR.

[Feature #17176]
iv_index_tbl manages instance variable indexes (ID -> index).
This data structure should be synchronized with other ractors
so introduce some VM locks.
This patch also introduced atomic ivar cache used by
set/getinlinecache instructions. To make updating ivar cache (IVC),
we changed iv_index_tbl data structure to manage (ID -> entry)
and an entry points serial and index. IVC points to this entry so
that cache update becomes atomically.
The write barrier wasn't being called for this object, so add the
missing WB. Automatic compaction moved the reference because it didn't
know about the relationship (that's how I found the missing WB).
This commit introduces Ractor mechanism to run Ruby program in
parallel. See doc/ractor.md for more details about Ractor.

This commit does not complete the implementation. You can find
many bugs on using Ractor. Also the specification will be changed
so that this feature is experimental. You will see a warning when
you make the first Ractor with `Ractor.new`.

Use ID instead of GENTRY for gvars.
Global variables are compiled into GENTRY (a pointer to struct
rb_global_entry). This patch replace this GENTRY to ID and
make the code simple.
We need to search GENTRY from ID every time (st_lookup), so
additional overhead will be introduced.
However, the performance of accessing global variables is not
important now a day and this simplicity helps Ractor development.
Moved this hack mark to an argument to `compile_hash`.

Formerly, branch coverage measurement counters are generated for each
compilation traverse of the AST. However, ensure clause node is
traversed twice; one is for normal-exit case (the resulted bytecode is
embedded in its outer scope), and the other is for exceptional case (the
resulted bytecode is used in catch table). Two branch coverage counters
are generated for the two cases, but it is not desired.
This changeset revamps the internal representation of branch coverage
measurement. Branch coverage counters are generated only at the first
visit of a branch node. Visiting the same node reuses the
already-generated counter, so double counting is avoided.
This makes:
```ruby
args = [1, 2, -> {}]; foo(*args, &args.pop)
```
call `foo` with 1, 2, and the lambda, in addition to passing the
lambda as a block. This is different from the previous behavior,
which passed the lambda as a block but not as a regular argument,
which goes against the expected left-to-right evaluation order.
This is how Ruby already compiled arguments if using leading
arguments, trailing arguments, or keywords in the same call.
This works by disabling the optimization that skipped duplicating
the array during the splat (splatarray instruction argument
switches from false to true). In the above example, the splat
call duplicates the array. I've tested and cases where a
local variable or symbol are used do not duplicate the array,
so I don't expect this to decrease the performance of most Ruby
programs. However, programs such as:
```ruby
foo(*args, &bar)
```
could see a decrease in performance, if `bar` is a method call
and not a local variable.
This is not a perfect solution, there are ways to get around
this:
```ruby
args = Struct.new(:a).new([:x, :y])
def args.to_a; a; end
def args.to_proc; a.pop; ->{}; end
foo(*args, &args)
# calls foo with 1 argument (:x)
# not 2 arguments (:x and :y)
```
A perfect solution would require completely disabling the
optimization.

These crashes are due to alignment issues, casting ADJUST to INSN
and then accessing after the end of the ADJUST. These patches
come from Stefan Sperling <stsp@apache.org>, who reported the
issue.
The GC will not disassemble incomplete instruction sequences. So it is
important that when instructions are being assembled, any objects the
instructions point at should not be moved.
This patch implements a fixed width array that pins its references.
When the instructions are done being assembled, the pinning array goes
away and the objects inside the iseqs are allowed to move.
With compiling `CPDEBUG >= 2`, `rb_iseq_disasm` segfaults if this
table has not been created. Also `ibf_load_iseq_each` calls
`rb_iseq_insns_info_encode_positions`.
Accessing past the end of an array is technically UB. Use C99 flexible
array member instead to avoid the UB and simplify allocation size
calculation.

Previously, passing a keyword splat to a method always allocated
a hash on the caller side, and accepting arbitrary keywords in
a method allocated a separate hash on the callee side. Passing
explicit keywords to a method that accepted a keyword splat
did not allocate a hash on the caller side, but resulted in two
hashes allocated on the callee side.
This commit makes passing a single keyword splat to a method not
allocate a hash on the caller side. Passing multiple keyword
splats or a mix of explicit keywords and a keyword splat still
generates a hash on the caller side. On the callee side,
if arbitrary keywords are not accepted, it does not allocate a
hash. If arbitrary keywords are accepted, it will allocate a
hash, but this commit uses a callinfo flag to indicate whether
the caller already allocated a hash, and if so, the callee can
use the passed hash without duplicating it. So this commit
should make it so that a maximum of a single hash is allocated
during method calls.
To set the callinfo flag appropriately, method call argument
compilation checks if only a single keyword splat is given.
If only one keyword splat is given, the VM_CALL_KW_SPLAT_MUT
callinfo flag is not set, since in that case the keyword
splat is passed directly and not mutable. If more than one
splat is used, a new hash needs to be generated on the caller
side, and in that case the callinfo flag is set, indicating
the keyword splat is mutable by the callee.
In compile_hash, used for both hash and keyword argument
compilation, if compiling keyword arguments and only a
single keyword splat is used, pass the argument directly.
On the caller side, in vm_args.c, the callinfo flag needs to
be recognized and handled. Because the keyword splat
argument may not be a hash, it needs to be converted to a
hash first if not. Then, unless the callinfo flag is set,
the hash needs to be duplicated. The temporary copy of the
callinfo flag, kw_flag, is updated if a hash was duplicated,
to prevent the need to duplicate it again. If we are
converting to a hash or duplicating a hash, we need to update
the argument array, which can including duplicating the
positional splat array if one was passed. CALLER_SETUP_ARG
and a couple other places needs to be modified to handle
similar issues for other types of calls.
This includes fairly comprehensive tests for different ways
keywords are handled internally, checking that you get equal
results but that keyword splats on the caller side result in
distinct objects for keyword rest parameters.
Included are benchmarks for keyword argument calls.
Brief results when compiled without optimization:
def kw(a: 1) a end
def kws(**kw) kw end
h = {a: 1}
kw(a: 1) # about same
kw(**h) # 2.37x faster
kws(a: 1) # 1.30x faster
kws(**h) # 2.19x faster
kw(a: 1, **h) # 1.03x slower
kw(**h, **h) # about same
kws(a: 1, **h) # 1.16x faster
kws(**h, **h) # 1.14x faster
Previously, method call keyword splats and hash keyword splats
were compiled exactly the same. This is because parse-wise, they
operate on indentical nodes when it comes to compiling the **{}.
Fix this by using an ugly hack of temporarily modifying the
nd_brace flag in the method call keyword splat case. Inside
compile_hash, only optimize the **{} case for hashes where the
nd_brace flag has been modified to reflect we are in the method
call keyword splat case and it is safe to do so.
Since compile_keyword_args is only called in one place, move the
keyword_node_p call out of that method to the single caller to
avoid duplicating the code.
This patch contains several ideas:
(1) Disposable inline method cache (IMC) for race-free inline method cache
* Making call-cache (CC) as a RVALUE (GC target object) and allocate new
CC on cache miss.
* This technique allows race-free access from parallel processing
elements like RCU.
(2) Introduce per-Class method cache (pCMC)
* Instead of fixed-size global method cache (GMC), pCMC allows flexible
cache size.
* Caching CCs reduces CC allocation and allow sharing CC's fast-path
between same call-info (CI) call-sites.
(3) Invalidate an inline method cache by invalidating corresponding method
entries (MEs)
* Instead of using class serials, we set "invalidated" flag for method
entry itself to represent cache invalidation.
* Compare with using class serials, the impact of method modification
(add/overwrite/delete) is small.
* Updating class serials invalidate all method caches of the class and
sub-classes.
* Proposed approach only invalidate the method cache of only one ME.
See [Feature #16614] for more details.
Now, rb_call_info contains how to call the method with tuple of
(mid, orig_argc, flags, kwarg). Most of cases, kwarg == NULL and
mid+argc+flags only requires 64bits. So this patch packed
rb_call_info to VALUE (1 word) on such cases. If we can not
represent it in VALUE, then use imemo_callinfo which contains
conventional callinfo (rb_callinfo, renamed from rb_call_info).
iseq->body->ci_kw_size is removed because all of callinfo is VALUE
size (packed ci or a pointer to imemo_callinfo).
To access ci information, we need to use these functions:
vm_ci_mid(ci), _flag(ci), _argc(ci), _kwarg(ci).
struct rb_call_info_kw_arg is renamed to rb_callinfo_kwarg.
rb_funcallv_with_cc() and rb_method_basic_definition_p_with_cc()
is temporary removed because cd->ci should be marked.
This behavior was deprecated in 2.7 and scheduled to be removed
in 3.0.
Calling yield in a class definition outside a method is now a
SyntaxError instead of a LocalJumpError, as well.
We were inefficient in cases where there are a lot of duplicates due to
the use of linear search. Use a hash table instead.
These cases are not that rare in the wild.
[Feature #16505]
Saves comitters' daily life by avoid #include-ing everything from
internal.h to make each file do so instead. This would significantly
speed up incremental builds.
We take the following inclusion order in this changeset:
1. "ruby/config.h", where _GNU_SOURCE is defined (must be the very
first thing among everything).
2. RUBY_EXTCONF_H if any.
3. Standard C headers, sorted alphabetically.
4. Other system headers, maybe guarded by #ifdef
5. Everything else, sorted alphabetically.
Exceptions are those win32-related headers, which tend not be self-
containing (headers have inclusion order dependencies).
On USE_LAZY_LOAD=1, the iseq should be loaded. So rb_iseq_check()
is needed. Furthermore, now lazy loading with builtin_function_table
is not supported, so it should cancel lazy loading.
`foo(*rest, post, **empty_kw)` is compiled like
`foo(*rest + [post, **empty_kw])`, and `**empty_kw` is removed by
"newarraykwsplat" instruction.
However, the method call still has a flag of KW_SPLAT, so "post" is
considered as a keyword hash, which caused a segfault.
Note that the flag cannot be removed if "empty_kw" is not always empty.
This change fixes the issue by compiling arguments with "newarray"
instead of "newarraykwsplat".

Now, C functions written by __builtin_cexpr!(code) and others are

This change ad-hocly adds iseq_unique_id for each iseq, and use it
instead of iseq pointer. This covers the case where caller is GC'ed.
Still, the case where callee is GC'ed, is not covered.
But anyway, it is very rare that iseq is GC'ed. Even when it occurs, it
just hides some warnings. It's no big deal.
This commit introduces an "inline ivar cache" struct. The reason we
need this is so compaction can differentiate from an ivar cache and a
regular inline cache. Regular inline caches contain references to
`VALUE` and ivar caches just contain references to the ivar index. With
this new struct we can easily update references for inline caches (but
not inline var caches as they just contain an int)
jump-jump optimization ignores the event flags of the jump instruction
being skipped, which leads to overlook of line events.
This changeset stops the wrong optimization when coverage measurement is
neabled and when the jump instruction has any event flag.
Note that this issue is not only for coverage but also for TracePoint,
and this change does not fix TracePoint.
However, fixing it fundamentally is tough (which requires revamp of
the compiler). This issue is critical in terms of coverage measurement,
but minor for TracePoint (ko1 said), so we here choose a stopgap
measurement.

rename __builtin_inline!(code) to __builtin_cstmt(code).
Also this commit introduce the following inlining C code features.
* __builtin_cstmt!(STMT)
(renamed from __builtin_inline!)
Define a function which run STMT implicitly and call this function at
evatuation time. Note that you need to return some value in STMT.
If there is a local variables (includes method parameters), you can
read these values.
static VALUE func(ec, self) {
VALUE x = ...;

}
Usage:
def double a
# a is readable from C code.
__builtin_cstmt! 'return INT2FIX(FIX2INT(a) * 2);'
end
* __builtin_cexpr!(EXPR)
Define a function which invoke EXPR implicitly like `__builtin_cstmt!`.
Different from cstmt!, which compiled with `return EXPR;`.
(`return` and `;` are added implicitly)
static VALUE func(ec, self) {
VALUE x = ...;
return EXPPR;
}
Usage:
def double a
__builtin_cexpr! 'INT2FIX(FIX2INT(a) * 2)'
end
* __builtin_cconst!(EXPR)
Define a function which invoke EXPR implicitly like cexpr!.
However, the function is called once at compile time, not evaluated time.
Any local variables are not accessible (because there is no local variable
at compile time).
Usage:
GCC = __builtin_cconst! '__GNUC__'
* __builtin_cinit!(STMT)
STMT are writtein in auto-generated code.
This code does not return any value.
Usage:
__builtin_cinit! '#include <zlib.h>'
def no_compression?
__builtin_cconst! 'Z_NO_COMPRESSION ? Qtrue : Qfalse'

These functions are used from within a compilation unit so we can
make them static, for better binary size. This changeset reduces
the size of generated ruby binary from 26,590,128 bytes to
26,584,472 bytes on my macihne.
opt_invokebuiltin_delegate and opt_invokebuiltin_delegate_leave
invokes builtin functions with same parameters of the method.
This technique eliminate stack push operations. However, delegation
parameters should be completely same as given parameters.
(e.g. `def foo(a, b, c) __builtin_foo(a, b, c)` is okay, but
__builtin_foo(b, c) is not allowed)
This patch relaxes this restriction. ISeq has a local variables
table which includes parameters. For example, the method defined
as `def foo(a, b, c) x=y=nil`, then local variables table contains
[a, b, c, x, y]. If calling builtin-function with arguments which
are sub-array of the lvar table, use opt_invokebuiltin_delegate
instruction with start index. For example, `__builtin_foo(b, c)`,
`__builtin_bar(c, x, y)` is okay, and so on.

Constant access was changed to no longer allow top-level constant access
through `nil`, but `defined?` wasn't changed at the same time to stay
consistent.
Use a separate defined type to distinguish between a constant
referenced from the current lexical scope and one referenced from
another namespace.
Add an experimental `__builtin_inline!(c_expression)` special intrinsic
which run a C code snippet.
In `c_expression`, you can access the following variables:
* ec (rb_execution_context_t *)
* self (const VALUE)
* local variables (const VALUE)
Not that you can read these variables, but you can not write them.
You need to return from this expression and return value will be a
result of __builtin_inline!().

`def foo(x) __builtin_inline!('return rb_p(x);'); end` calls `p(x)`.
`def double(x) __builtin_inline!('return INT2NUM(NUM2INT(x) * 2);')`
returns x*2.
Support loading builtin features written in Ruby, which implement
with C builtin functions.
[Feature #16254]
Several features:
(1) Load .rb file at boottime with native binary.
Now, prelude.rb is loaded at boottime. However, this file is contained
into the interpreter as a text format and we need to compile it.
This patch contains a feature to load from binary format.
(2) __builtin_func() in Ruby call func() written in C.
In Ruby file, we can write `__builtin_func()` like method call.
However this is not a method call, but special syntax to call
a function `func()` written in C. C functions should be defined
in a file (same compile unit) which load this .rb file.
Functions (`func` in above example) should be defined with
(a) 1st parameter: rb_execution_context_t *ec
(b) rest parameters (0 to 15).
(c) VALUE return type.
This is very similar requirements for functions used by
rb_define_method(), however `rb_execution_context_t *ec`
is new requirement.
(3) automatic C code generation from .rb files.
tool/mk_builtin_loader.rb creates a C code to load .rb files
needed by miniruby and ruby command. This script is run by
BASERUBY, so *.rb should be written in BASERUBY compatbile
syntax. This script load a .rb file and find all of __builtin_
prefix method calls, and generate a part of C code to export
functions.
tool/mk_builtin_binary.rb creates a C code which contains
binary compiled Ruby files needed by ruby command.
Get rid of these redundant and useless warnings.
```
$ ruby -e 'def bar(a) a; end; def foo(...) bar(...) end; foo({})'
-e:1: warning: The last argument is used as the keyword parameter
-e:1: warning: for `foo' defined here
-e:1: warning: The keyword argument is passed as the last hash parameter
-e:1: warning: for `bar' defined here
```
To perform a regular method call, the VM needs two structs,
`rb_call_info` and `rb_call_cache`. At the moment, we allocate these two
structures in separate buffers. In the worst case, the CPU needs to read
4 cache lines to complete a method call. Putting the two structures
together reduces the maximum number of cache line reads to 2.
Combining the structures also saves 8 bytes per call site as the current
layout uses separate two pointers for the call info and the call cache.
This saves about 2 MiB on Discourse.
This change improves the Optcarrot benchmark at least 3%. For more
details, see attached bugs.ruby-lang.org ticket.
Complications:
- A new instruction attribute `comptime_sp_inc` is introduced to
calculate SP increase at compile time without using call caches. At
compile time, a `TS_CALLDATA` operand points to a call info struct, but
at runtime, the same operand points to a call data struct. Instruction
that explicitly define `sp_inc` also need to define `comptime_sp_inc`.
- MJIT code for copying call cache becomes slightly more complicated.
- This changes the bytecode format, which might break existing tools.
[Misc #16258]
This changeset basically replaces `ruby_xmalloc(x * y)` into
`ruby_xmalloc2(x, y)`. Some convenient functions are also
provided for instance `rb_xmalloc_mul_add(x, y, z)` which allocates
x * y + z byes.
The parser needs to determine whether a local varaiable is defined or
not in outer scope. For the sake, "base_block" field has kept the outer
block.
However, the whole block was actually unneeded; the parser used only
base_block->iseq.
So, this change lets parser_params have the iseq directly, instead of
the whole block.
