string literals: ASCIIString, UTF8String #4

StefanKarpinski · 2011-04-27T04:31:05Z

See the discussion here. The salient conclusion is this:

Escapes continue to work the way they do now: \x always inserts a single byte and \u always inserts a sequence of bytes encoding a unicode character. Literals are turned into String objects according to the following simple check:

ASCIIString if all bytes are < 0x80;
UTF8String if any bytes are ≥ 0x80.

If you want to use \x escapes with values at or above 0x80 to generate invalid UTF-8, that's your business. We can also introduce an Latin1"..." form that uses the Latin-1 encoding to store code points up to U+FF in an efficient character-per-byte form. Finally, the b"..." macro-defined string form can let you use characters and escapes (both \x and \u) to generate byte arrays.

We can safely and quickly concatenate ASCIIStrings with each other, with UTF8Strings, or with Latin1Strings. Mixing UTF8Strings and Latin1Strings, however, requires transcoding the Latin1Strings to UTF-8. This, however, will not occur with string literals since they will always be ASCIIStrings or UTF8Strings.

This commit improves SROA pass by extending the `unswitchtupleunion` optimization to handle the general parametric types, e.g.: ```julia julia> struct A{T} x::T end; julia> function foo(a1, a2, c) t = c ? A(a1) : A(a2) return getfield(t, :x) end; julia> only(Base.code_ircode(foo, (Int,Float64,Bool); optimize_until="SROA")) ``` > Before ``` 2 1 ─ goto #3 if not _4 │ 2 ─ %2 = %new(A{Int64}, _2)::A{Int64} │╻ A └── goto #4 │ 3 ─ %4 = %new(A{Float64}, _3)::A{Float64} │╻ A 4 ┄ %5 = φ (#2 => %2, #3 => %4)::Union{A{Float64}, A{Int64}} │ 3 │ %6 = Main.getfield(%5, :x)::Union{Float64, Int64} │ └── return %6 │ => Union{Float64, Int64} ``` > After ``` julia> only(Base.code_ircode(foo, (Int,Float64,Bool); optimize_until="SROA")) 2 1 ─ goto #3 if not _4 │ 2 ─ nothing::A{Int64} │╻ A └── goto #4 │ 3 ─ nothing::A{Float64} │╻ A 4 ┄ %8 = φ (#2 => _2, #3 => _3)::Union{Float64, Int64} │ │ nothing::Union{A{Float64}, A{Int64}} 3 │ %6 = %8::Union{Float64, Int64} │ └── return %6 │ => Union{Float64, Int64} ```

This is part of the work to address #51352 by attempting to allow the compiler to perform SRAO on persistent data structures like `PersistentDict` as if they were regular immutable data structures. These sorts of data structures have very complicated internals (with lots of mutation, memory sharing, etc.), but a relatively simple interface. As such, it is unlikely that our compiler will have sufficient power to optimize this interface by analyzing the implementation. We thus need to come up with some other mechanism that gives the compiler license to perform the requisite optimization. One way would be to just hardcode `PersistentDict` into the compiler, optimizing it like any of the other builtin datatypes. However, this is of course very unsatisfying. At the other end of the spectrum would be something like a generic rewrite rule system (e-graphs anyone?) that would let the PersistentDict implementation declare its interface to the compiler and the compiler would use this for optimization (in a perfect world, the actual rewrite would then be checked using some sort of formal methods). I think that would be interesting, but we're very far from even being able to design something like that (at least in Base - experiments with external AbstractInterpreters in this direction are encouraged). This PR tries to come up with a reasonable middle ground, where the compiler gets some knowledge of the protocol hardcoded without having to know about the implementation details of the data structure. The basic ideas is that `Core` provides some magic generic functions that implementations can extend. Semantically, they are not special. They dispatch as usual, and implementations are expected to work properly even in the absence of any compiler optimizations. However, the compiler is semantically permitted to perform structural optimization using these magic generic functions. In the concrete case, this PR introduces the `KeyValue` interface which consists of two generic functions, `get` and `set`. The core optimization is that the compiler is allowed to rewrite any occurrence of `get(set(x, k, v), k)` into `v` without additional legality checks. In particular, the compiler performs no type checks, conversions, etc. The higher level implementation code is expected to do all that. This approach closely matches the general direction we've been taking in external AbstractInterpreters for embedding additional semantics and optimization opportunities into Julia code (although we generally use methods there, rather than full generic functions), so I think we have some evidence that this sort of approach works reasonably well. Nevertheless, this is certainly an experiment and the interface is explicitly declared unstable. ## Current Status This is fully working and implemented, but the optimization currently bails on anything but the simplest cases. Filling all those cases in is not particularly hard, but should be done along with a more invasive refactoring of SROA, so we should figure out the general direction here first and then we can finish all that up in a follow-up cleanup. ## Obligatory benchmark Before: ``` julia> using BenchmarkTools julia> function foo() a = Base.PersistentDict(:a => 1) return a[:a] end foo (generic function with 1 method) julia> @benchmark foo() BenchmarkTools.Trial: 10000 samples with 993 evaluations.

This is part of the work to address #51352 by attempting to allow the compiler to perform SRAO on persistent data structures like `PersistentDict` as if they were regular immutable data structures. These sorts of data structures have very complicated internals (with lots of mutation, memory sharing, etc.), but a relatively simple interface. As such, it is unlikely that our compiler will have sufficient power to optimize this interface by analyzing the implementation. We thus need to come up with some other mechanism that gives the compiler license to perform the requisite optimization. One way would be to just hardcode `PersistentDict` into the compiler, optimizing it like any of the other builtin datatypes. However, this is of course very unsatisfying. At the other end of the spectrum would be something like a generic rewrite rule system (e-graphs anyone?) that would let the PersistentDict implementation declare its interface to the compiler and the compiler would use this for optimization (in a perfect world, the actual rewrite would then be checked using some sort of formal methods). I think that would be interesting, but we're very far from even being able to design something like that (at least in Base - experiments with external AbstractInterpreters in this direction are encouraged). This PR tries to come up with a reasonable middle ground, where the compiler gets some knowledge of the protocol hardcoded without having to know about the implementation details of the data structure. The basic ideas is that `Core` provides some magic generic functions that implementations can extend. Semantically, they are not special. They dispatch as usual, and implementations are expected to work properly even in the absence of any compiler optimizations. However, the compiler is semantically permitted to perform structural optimization using these magic generic functions. In the concrete case, this PR introduces the `KeyValue` interface which consists of two generic functions, `get` and `set`. The core optimization is that the compiler is allowed to rewrite any occurrence of `get(set(x, k, v), k)` into `v` without additional legality checks. In particular, the compiler performs no type checks, conversions, etc. The higher level implementation code is expected to do all that. This approach closely matches the general direction we've been taking in external AbstractInterpreters for embedding additional semantics and optimization opportunities into Julia code (although we generally use methods there, rather than full generic functions), so I think we have some evidence that this sort of approach works reasonably well. Nevertheless, this is certainly an experiment and the interface is explicitly declared unstable. ## Current Status This is fully working and implemented, but the optimization currently bails on anything but the simplest cases. Filling all those cases in is not particularly hard, but should be done along with a more invasive refactoring of SROA, so we should figure out the general direction here first and then we can finish all that up in a follow-up cleanup. ## Obligatory benchmark Before: ``` julia> using BenchmarkTools julia> function foo() a = Base.PersistentDict(:a => 1) return a[:a] end foo (generic function with 1 method) julia> @benchmark foo() BenchmarkTools.Trial: 10000 samples with 993 evaluations.

@something

`@something` eagerly unwraps any `Some` given to it, while keeping the variable between its arguments the same. This can be an issue if a previously unpacked value is used as input to `@something`, leading to a type instability on more than two arguments (e.g. because of a fallback to `Some(nothing)`). By using different variables for each argument, type inference has an easier time handling these cases that are isolated to single branches anyway. This also adds some comments to the macro, since it's non-obvious what it does. Benchmarking the specific case I encountered this in led to a ~2x performance improvement on multiple machines. 1.10-beta3/master: ``` [sukera@tower 01]$ jl1100 -q --project=. -L 01.jl -e 'bench()' v"1.10.0-beta3" BenchmarkTools.Trial: 10000 samples with 1 evaluation.

Additionally, I believe this feature is not yet practical. In particular, there is still significant room for improvement in the following areas: - EA's interprocedural capabilities: currently EA is performed ad-hoc for limited frames because of latency reasons, which significantly reduces its precision in the presence of interprocedural calls. - Relaxing the `:nothrow` check for finalizer inlining: the current algorithm requires `:nothrow`-ness on all paths from the allocation of the mutable struct to its last use, which is not practical for real-world cases. Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use might still be possible.

Also requires Linux 6.4+, since the fallback processor detection used here relies on LLVM's `sys::getHostCPUFeatures`, which for RISC-V is implemented using hwprobe introduced in 6.4. We could probably add a fallback that parses `/proc/cpuinfo`, either by building a CPU database much like how we've done for AArch64, or by parsing the actual ISA string contained there. That would probably also be a good place to add support for profiles, which are supposedly the way forward to package RISC-V binaries. That can happen in follow-up PRs though. For now, on older kernels, use the `-C` arg to Julia to specify an ISA. Co-authored-by: Alex Fan <[email protected]>
