With verbopse mode (-w), the interpreter shows a warning if
a block is passed to a method which does not use the given block.
Warning on:
* the invoked method is written in C
* the invoked method is not `initialize`
* not invoked with `super`
* the first time on the call-site with the invoked method
(`obj.foo{}` will be warned once if `foo` is same method)
[Feature #15554]
`Primitive.attr! :use_block` is introduced to declare that primitive
functions (written in C) will use passed block.
For minitest, test needs some tweak, so use
ea9caafc07
for `test-bundled-gems`.
This frees FL_USER0 on both T_MODULE and T_CLASS.
Note: prior to this, FL_SINGLETON was never set on T_MODULE,
so checking for `FL_SINGLETON` without first checking that
`FL_TYPE` was `T_CLASS` was valid. That's no longer the case.
Ruby makes it easy to delegate all arguments from one method to another:
```ruby
def f(*args, **kw)
g(*args, **kw)
end
```
Unfortunately, this indirection decreases performance. One reason it
decreases performance is that this allocates an array and a hash per
call to `f`, even if `args` and `kw` are not modified.
Due to Ruby's ability to modify almost anything at runtime, it's
difficult to avoid the array allocation in the general case. For
example, it's not safe to avoid the allocation in a case like this:
```ruby
def f(*args, **kw)
foo(bar)
g(*args, **kw)
end
```
Because `foo` may be `eval` and `bar` may be a string referencing `args`
or `kw`.
To fix this correctly, you need to perform something similar to escape
analysis on the variables. However, there is a case where you can
avoid the allocation without doing escape analysis, and that is when
the splat variables are anonymous:
```ruby
def f(*, **)
g(*, **)
end
```
When splat variables are anonymous, it is not possible to reference
them directly, it is only possible to use them as splats to other
methods. Since that is the case, if `f` is called with a regular
splat and a keyword splat, it can pass the arguments directly to
`g` without copying them, avoiding allocation. For example:
```ruby
def g(a, b:)
a + b
end
def f(*, **)
g(*, **)
end
a = [1]
kw = {b: 2}
f(*a, **kw)
```
I call this technique: Allocationless Anonymous Splat Forwarding.
This is implemented using a couple additional iseq param flags,
anon_rest and anon_kwrest. If anon_rest is set, and an array splat
is passed when calling the method when the array splat can be used
without modification, `setup_parameters_complex` does not duplicate
it. Similarly, if anon_kwest is set, and a keyword splat is passed
when calling the method, `setup_parameters_complex` does not
duplicate it.
Before this patch, the MN scheduler waits for the IO with the
following steps:
1. `poll(fd, timeout=0)` to check fd is ready or not.
2. if fd is not ready, waits with MN thread scheduler
3. call `func` to issue the blocking I/O call
The advantage of advanced `poll()` is we can wait for the
IO ready for any fds. However `poll()` becomes overhead
for already ready fds.
This patch changes the steps like:
1. call `func` to issue the blocking I/O call
2. if the `func` returns `EWOULDBLOCK` the fd is `O_NONBLOCK`
and we need to wait for fd is ready so that waits with MN
thread scheduler.
In this case, we can wait only for `O_NONBLOCK` fds. Otherwise
it waits with blocking operations such as `read()` system call.
However we don't need to call `poll()` to check fd is ready
in advance.
With this patch we can observe performance improvement
on microbenchmark which repeats blocking I/O (not
`O_NONBLOCK` fd) with and without MN thread scheduler.
```ruby
require 'benchmark'
f = open('/dev/null', 'w')
f.sync = true
TN = 1
N = 1_000_000 / TN
Benchmark.bm{|x|
x.report{
TN.times.map{
Thread.new{
N.times{f.print '.'}
}
}.each(&:join)
}
}

This patch introduces thread specific storage APIs
for tools which use `rb_internal_thread_event_hook` APIs.
* `rb_internal_thread_specific_key_create()` to create a tool specific
thread local storage key and allocate the storage if not available.
* `rb_internal_thread_specific_set()` sets a data to thread and tool
specific storage.
* `rb_internal_thread_specific_get()` gets a data in thread and tool
specific storage.
Note that `rb_internal_thread_specific_get|set(thread_val, key)`
can be called without GVL and safe for async signal and safe for
multi-threading (native threads). So you can call it in any internal
thread event hooks. Further more you can call it from other native
threads. Of course `thread_val` should be living while accessing the
data from this function.
Note that you should not forget to clean up the set data.
Right now the `rb_shape_get_next` shape caller need to
first check if there is capacity left, and if not call
`rb_shape_transition_shape_capa` before it can call `rb_shape_get_next`.
And on each of these it needs to checks if we got a TOO_COMPLEX
back.
All this logic is duplicated in the interpreter, YJIT and RJIT.
Instead we can have `rb_shape_get_next` do the capacity transition
when needed. The caller can compare the old and new shapes capacity
to know if resizing is needed. It also can check for TOO_COMPLEX
only once.
This is an experimental commit that uses a functional red-black tree to
create an index of the ancestor shapes. It uses an Okasaki style
functional red black tree:
https://www.cs.tufts.edu/comp/150FP/archive/chris-okasaki/redblack99.pdf
This tree is advantageous because:
* It offers O(n log n) insertions and O(n log n) lookups.
* It shares memory with previous "versions" of the tree
When we insert a node in the tree, only the parts of the tree that need
to be rebalanced are newly allocated. Parts of the tree that don't need
to be rebalanced are not reallocated, so "new trees" are able to share
memory with old trees. This is in contrast to a sorted set where we
would have to duplicate the set, and also resort the set on each
insertion.
I've added a new stat to RubyVM.stat so we can understand how the red
black tree increases.
Given `SHAPE_MAX_NUM_IVS 80`, we transition to TOO_COMPLEX
way before we could overflow a 8bit counter.
This reduce the size of `rb_shape_t` from 32B to 24B.
If we decide to raise `SHAPE_MAX_NUM_IVS` we can always increase
that type again.
Tracks other callinfo that references the same kwargs and frees them when all references are cleared.

fix memory leak in vm_method
This introduces a unified reference_count to clarify who is referencing a method.
This also allows us to treat the refinement method as the def owner since it counts itself as a reference

Remove rb_control_frame_t::__bp__ and optimize bmethod calls
This commit removes the __bp__ field from rb_control_frame_t. It was
introduced to help MJIT, but since MJIT was replaced by RJIT, we can use
vm_base_ptr() to compute it from the SP of the previous control frame
instead. Removing the field avoids needing to set it up when pushing new
frames.
Simply removing __bp__ would cause crashes since RJIT and YJIT used a
slightly different stack layout for bmethod calls than the interpreter.
At the moment of the call, the two layouts looked as follows:
┌────────────┐ ┌────────────┐
│ frame_base │ │ frame_base │
├────────────┤ ├────────────┤
│ ... │ │ ... │
├────────────┤ ├────────────┤
│ args │ │ args │
├────────────┤ └────────────┘<─prev_frame_sp
│ receiver │
prev_frame_sp─>└────────────┘
RJIT & YJIT interpreter
Essentially, vm_base_ptr() needs to compute the address to frame_base
given prev_frame_sp in the diagrams. The presence of the receiver
created an off-by-one situation.
Make the interpreter use the layout the JITs use for iseq-to-iseq
bmethod calls. Doing so removes unnecessary argument shifting and
vm_exec_core() re-entry from the interpreter, yielding a speed
improvement visible through `benchmark/vm_defined_method.yml`:
patched: 7578743.1 i/s
master: 4796596.3 i/s - 1.58x slower
C-to-iseq bmethod calls now store one more VALUE than before, but that
should have negligible impact on overall performance.
Note that re-entering vm_exec_core() used to be necessary for firing
TracePoint events, but that's no longer the case since
9121e57a5f.

* Unify length field for embedded and heap strings
The length field is of the same type and position in RString for both
embedded and heap allocated strings, so we can unify it.
* Remove RSTRING_EMBED_LEN
The `catch_except_p` flag is used for communicating between parent and
child iseq's that a throw instruction was emitted. So for example if a
child iseq has a throw in it and the parent wants to catch the throw, we
use this flag to communicate to the parent iseq that a throw instruction
was emitted.
This flag is only useful at compile time, it only impacts the
compilation process so it seems to be fine to move it from the iseq body
to the compile_data struct.

Remove !USE_RVARGC code
[Feature #19579]
The Variable Width Allocation feature was turned on by default in Ruby
3.2. Since then, we haven't received bug reports or backports to the
non-Variable Width Allocation code paths, so we assume that nobody is
using it. We also don't plan on maintaining the non-Variable Width
Allocation code, so we are going to remove it.
