In an effort to simplify the logic YJIT generates for accessing instance
variable, YJIT ensures that a given name-to-index mapping exists at
compile time. In the case that the mapping doesn't exist, it was created
by using rb_ivar_set() with Qundef on the sample object we see at
compile time. This hack isn't fine if the sample object happens to be
frozen, in which case YJIT would raise a FrozenError unexpectedly.
To deal with this, make a new function that only reserves the mapping
but doesn't touch the object. This is rb_obj_ensure_iv_index_mapping().
This new function superceeds the functionality of rb_iv_index_tbl_lookup()
so it was removed.

Fixes: GH-282
Previously, if an autoload failed (the file was loaded, but the
constant was not defined by the autoloaded file). Ruby will try
to autoload again if you delete the autoloaded file from
$LOADED_FEATURES. With this change, the autoload and the
constant itself are removed as soon as it fails.
To handle cases where multiple threads are autoloading, when
deleting an autoload, handle the case where another thread
already deleted it.
Fixes [Bug #15790]
It's possible for `build_const_pathname` to be called when `rb_cString` is
still NULL. There is a fix-up step when `rb_cString` is initialized, but
it only applies to `fstring` instances.
Before this commit, const_get with inherit=true and constant lookup
expressions searched the ancestors of the starting point in an order
different from `starting_point.ancestors`.
Items in the ancestry list introduced through prepend were searched
after searching the module they were prepended into. This oddity allowed
for situations where constant lookups gave different results even though
`starting_point.ancestors` is the same.
Do the lookup in the same order as `starting_point.ancestors` by
skipping classes and modules that have an origin iclass. The origin
iclass is in the super chain after the prepended modules.
Note that just like before this commit, the starting point of the
constant lookup is always the first item that we search, regardless of
the presence of any prepended modules.
[Bug #17887]
Extracted repeated code as update_classvariable_cache. When cvc
table is not set in getclassvariable, an empty table was created
but it has no id and would cause [BUG], so made the code same as
setclassvariable.
Redo of 34a2acdac788602c14bf05fb616215187badd504 and
931138b00696419945dc03e10f033b1f53cd50f3 which were reverted.
GitHub PR #4340.
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.

Instead of on read. Once it's in the inline cache we never have to make
one again. We want to eventually put the value into the cache, and the
best opportunity to do that is when you write the value.

no cache for cvars. Cvar access is slow due to needing to travel all the

In every caller of `rb_class_ivar_set` it checks for the `RCLASS_IV_TBL`
and then creates it if it doesn't exist. Instead of repeating this in
every caller, this can be done once in `rb_class_ivar_set`.
iff means if and only if, but readers without that knowledge might
assume this to be a spelling mistake. To me, this seems like
exclusionary language that is unnecessary. Simply using "if and only if"
instead should suffice.
Ractor has several restrictions to keep each ractor being isolated
and some operation such as `CONST="foo"` in non-main ractor raises
an exception. This kind of operation raises an error but there is
confusion (some code raises RuntimeError and some code raises
NameError).
To make clear we introduce Ractor::IsolationError which is raised
when the isolation between ractors is violated.
Also document that both :deprecated and :experimental are supported
:category option values.
The locations where warnings were marked as deprecation warnings
was previously reviewed by shyouhei.
Comment a couple locations where deprecation warnings should probably
be used but are not currently used because deprecation warning
enablement has not occurred at the time they are called
(RUBY_FREE_MIN, RUBY_HEAP_MIN_SLOTS, -K).
Add assert_deprecated_warn to test assertions. Use this to simplify
some tests, and fix failing tests after marking some warnings with
deprecated category.
This speeds up all instance variable access, even when not in
verbose mode. Uninitialized instance variable warnings were
rarely helpful, and resulted in slower code if you wanted to
avoid warnings when run in verbose mode.
Implements [Feature #17055]
To make some kind of Ractor related extensions, some functions
should be exposed.
* include/ruby/thread_native.h
* rb_native_mutex_*
* rb_native_cond_*
* include/ruby/ractor.h
* RB_OBJ_SHAREABLE_P(obj)
* rb_ractor_shareable_p(obj)
* rb_ractor_std*()
* rb_cRactor
and rm ractor_pub.h
and rename srcdir/ractor.h to srcdir/ractor_core.h
(to avoid conflict with include/ruby/ractor.h)
When the inline cache is written, the iv table will contain an entry for
the instance variable. If we get an inline cache hit, then we know the
iv table must contain a value for the index written to the inline cache.
If the index in the inline cache is larger than the list on the object,
but *smaller* than the iv index table on the class, then we can just
eagerly allocate the iv list to be the same size as the iv index table.
This avoids duplicate work of checking frozen as well as looking up the
index for the particular instance variable name.
Since T_OBJECT objects come to life as embedded objects, that means that
ROBJECT_NUMIV will always return a _minimum_ of ROBJECT_EMBED_LEN_MAX.
If ivup.index is *greater* than ROBJECT_NUMIV, then we know that the
object *must not* be an embedded object. Thus we can skip the
ROBJECT_EMBED_LEN_MAX check as well as initializing internals of
embedded objects.
Accessing a shareable object is prohibitted because it can cause
race condition, but if the shareable object is frozen, there is no
problem to access ivars.
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.
generic_ivtbl is a process global table to maintain instance variables
for non T_OBJECT/T_CLASS/... objects. So we need to protect them
for multi-Ractor exection.
Hint: we can make them Ractor local for unshareable objects, but
now it is premature optimization.
This commit introduces Ractor mechanism to run Ruby program in
parallel. See doc/ractor.md for more details about Ractor.
See ticket [Feature #17100] to see the implementation details
and discussions.
[Feature #17100]
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`.
I hope this feature can help programmers from thread-safety issues.
Follow up for 5e16857315. Calling a method
in the middle of const_set adds a way that it would fail. It also makes
it inconsistent with declaring a constant using `::`, which doesn't call
`to_s`.
Former ROBJECT_IV_INDEX_TBL macro included RCLASS_IV_INDEX_TBL, which is
not disclosed to extension libraies. The macro was kind of broken. Why
not just deprecate it, and convert the internal use into an inline
function.
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.
Not every compilers understand that rb_raise does not return. When a
function does not end with a return statement, such compilers can issue
warnings. We would better tell them about reachabilities.
