1435569 - Reduce redundancy in CacheIR attachment spewing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine: JIT, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Matthew Gaudet (he/him) [:mgaudet]]

The implementations of trackAttached() and trackNotAttached() in the subclasses of IRGenerator are all very self similar, which suggests that there's probably commonality to be extracted.

Comment 1

[Matthew Gaudet (he/him) [:mgaudet]]

Attachment: Refactor CacheIR attachment spewing code to reduce redundancy

This patch mandates that all CacheIR IR generators create spew code to ensure
tracking by making the IRGenerator abstract virtual.

Comment 2

[Tom S. (please needinfo tschuster)]

Really nice simplification, but I am concerned that the compiler will keep around the vtable even when we don't build with spewing enabled. Can you check that? We also usually add the override specifier.

Comment 3

[Jan de Mooij [:jandem]]

I wonder if we could do something where the derived classes call a method in the base class (IRGenerator) and pass a lambda to spew the contents? We've been trying to avoid virtual functions in the CacheIR code and we're trying to remove them from Ion too (bug 1425580).

Comment 4

[Ted Campbell [:tcampbell]]

My alternate unrefined proposal:

> void
> InstanceOfIRGenerator::trackAttached(const char* name)
> {
> #ifdef JS_CACHEIR_SPEW
>     if (CacheIRSpewer::Guard sp = CacheIRSpewer::getICSpewer(this, name)) {
>         sp.valueProperty("lhs", lhsVal_);
>         sp.valueProperty("rhs", ObjectValue(*rhsObj_));
>     }
> #endif
> }

I'd also like to revisit the question of can we merge trackAttached and trackNotAttached, instead of nullptr or some named sentinel.

Refactor CacheIR attachment spewing code to reduce redundancy

Resetting the review request for now. Combining trackAttached and trackNotAttached sounds good.

Comment 6

[Matthew Gaudet (he/him) [:mgaudet]]

Attachment: Change CacheIRSpewer to allow less redundency in spewing

This patch adds an inner class to CacheIRSpewer that manages access to the
CacheIRSpewer and dramatically simplifies the consuming code.

Note: this changes the CacheIRSpewer to no longer use LockGuard; instead
the raw mutex is managed by CacheIRSpewer. This is because the RAII nature
of CacheIRSpewer::Guard prevents constructing the LockGuard if-and-only-if
the spewer is enabled.

Comment 7

[Matthew Gaudet (he/him) [:mgaudet]]

Note, unlike Ted's sketch, I didn't implement a getter for CacheIRSpewer::Guard.

Comment 8

[Ted Campbell [:tcampbell]]

Please wrap those nullptrs in something with a name. |constexpr char* CacheIRSpewer::NotAttached = nullptr;| or something.

This actually extremely nice looking, thanks for cleaning this up! Please include Ted's nullptr suggestion as well.

Super nit: * goes with the type.

Comment 10

[Tom S. (please needinfo tschuster)]

Actually Ted's suggestion might not work, because CacheIRSpewer is #ifdef on JS_CACHEIR_SPEW.

Give the "NotAttached" case a name

Because the NotAttached case is referred to externally, in contexts where CacheIRSpewer isn't already imported, this patch puts the name inside the IRGenerator.

Change CacheIRSpewer to allow less redundency in spewing

This patch addresses a static analysis failure by changing the guard to capture a const reference. This means copy elision occurs, which means no temporary, and the static analysis passes (https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=20bee090afa6cdb4f4ee0204e066a6db093b7c64&selectedJob=162453749)

Looks like a reasonable fix for the static analysis bug.
