`///@file` makes them show up in the internal API dos. A tiny few were missing `#pragma once`.
2023-02-16ExprOpHasAttr,ExprSelect,stripIndentation,binds,formals: delete losts objectsEt7f3
We are looking for *$ because it indicate that it was constructed with a new but not release. De-referencing shallow copy so deleting as whole might create dangling pointer that's why we move it so we delete a empty containers + the nice perf boost.

2022-12-13Introduce AbstractPosEelco Dolstra
This makes the position object used in exceptions abstract, with a method getSource() to get the source code of the file in which the error originated. This is needed for lazy trees because source files don't necessarily exist in the filesystem, and we don't want to make libutil depend on the InputAccessor type in libfetcher.

2022-04-26Don't pass Symbol by referenceEelco Dolstra
Since Symbol is just an integer, passing it by const reference is never advantageous.
2022-04-25rename SymbolIdx -> Symbol, Symbol -> SymbolStrpennae
after #6218 `Symbol` no longer confers a uniqueness invariant on the string it wraps, it is now possible to create multiple symbols that compare equal but whose string contents have different addresses. this guarantee is now only provided by `SymbolIdx`, leaving `Symbol` only as a string wrapper that knows about the intricacies of how symbols need to be formatted for output. this change renames `SymbolIdx` to `Symbol` to restore the previous semantics of `Symbol` to that name. we also keep the wrapper type and rename it to `SymbolStr` instead of returning plain strings from lookups into the symbol table because symbols are formatted for output in many places. theoretically we do not need `SymbolStr`, only a function that formats a string for output as a symbol, but having to wrap every symbol that appears in a message into eg `formatSymbol()` is error-prone and inconvient.
2022-04-22Move ChunkedVector to its own headerThéophane Hufschmitt
2022-04-21store Symbols in a table as well, like positionspennae
this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no increase in memory on average. symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each, assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates less than a million symbols!)
2022-04-21don't use Symbol in Pos to represent a pathpennae
PosTable deduplicates origin information, so using symbols for paths is no longer necessary. moving away from path Symbols also reduces the usage of symbols for things that are not keys in attribute sets, which will become important in the future when we turn symbols into indices as well.
2022-04-21replace most Pos objects/ptrs with indexes into a position tablepennae
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to locate positions instead.

2022-03-08make Pos smallerpennae
reduces peak hep memory use on eval of our test system from 264.4MB to 242.3MB, possibly also a slight performance boost. theoretically memory use could be cut down by another eight bytes per Pos on average by turning it into a tuple containing an index into a global base position table with row and column offsets, but that doesn't seem worth the effort at this point.

2022-02-04fix nix repl not overriding existing bindings in :apennae
previously :a would override old bindings of a name with new values if the added set contained names that were already bound. in nix 2.6 this doesn't happen any more, which is potentially confusing. fixes #6041
2022-01-19defer formals duplicate check for incresed efficiency all roundpennae
if we defer the duplicate argument check for lambda formals we can use more efficient data structures for the formals set, and we can get rid of the duplication of formals names to boot. instead of a list of formals we've seen and a set of names we'll keep a vector instead and run a sort+dupcheck step before moving the parsed formals into a newly created lambda. this improves performance on search and rebuild by ~1%, pure parsing gains more (about 4%). this does reorder lambda arguments in the xml output, but the output is still stable. this shouldn't be a problem since argument order is not semantically important anyway. before nix search --no-eval-cache --offline ../nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 8.550 s ± 0.060 s [User: 6.470 s, System: 1.664 s] Range (min … max): 8.435 s … 8.666 s 20 runs nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 346.7 ms ± 2.1 ms [User: 312.4 ms, System: 34.2 ms] Range (min … max): 343.8 ms … 353.4 ms 20 runs nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.720 s ± 0.031 s [User: 2.415 s, System: 0.231 s] Range (min … max): 2.662 s … 2.780 s 20 runs after nix search --no-eval-cache --offline ../nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 8.462 s ± 0.063 s [User: 6.398 s, System: 1.661 s] Range (min … max): 8.339 s … 8.542 s 20 runs nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 329.1 ms ± 1.4 ms [User: 296.8 ms, System: 32.3 ms] Range (min … max): 326.1 ms … 330.8 ms 20 runs nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.687 s ± 0.035 s [User: 2.392 s, System: 0.228 s] Range (min … max): 2.626 s … 2.754 s 20 runs
2022-01-19don't use Symbols for stringspennae
string expressions by and large do not need the benefits a Symbol gives us, instead they pollute the symbol table and cause unnecessary overhead for almost all strings. the one place we can think of that benefits from them (attrpaths with expressions) extracts the benefit in the parser, which we'll have to touch anyway when changing ExprString to hold strings. this gives a sizeable improvement on of 3-5% on all benchmarks we've run. before nix search --no-eval-cache --offline ../nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 8.844 s ± 0.045 s [User: 6.750 s, System: 1.663 s] Range (min … max): 8.758 s … 8.922 s 20 runs nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 367.4 ms ± 3.3 ms [User: 332.3 ms, System: 35.2 ms] Range (min … max): 364.0 ms … 375.2 ms 20 runs nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.810 s ± 0.030 s [User: 2.517 s, System: 0.225 s] Range (min … max): 2.742 s … 2.854 s 20 runs after nix search --no-eval-cache --offline ../nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 8.533 s ± 0.068 s [User: 6.485 s, System: 1.642 s] Range (min … max): 8.404 s … 8.657 s 20 runs nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 347.6 ms ± 3.1 ms [User: 313.1 ms, System: 34.5 ms] Range (min … max): 343.3 ms … 354.6 ms 20 runs nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.709 s ± 0.032 s [User: 2.414 s, System: 0.232 s] Range (min … max): 2.655 s … 2.788 s 20 runs
2022-01-19remove ExprIndStrpennae
it can be replaced with StringToken if we add another bit if information to StringToken, namely whether this string should take part in indentation scanning or not. since all escaping terminates indentation scanning we need to set this bit only for the non-escaped IND_STRING rule. this improves performance by about 1%. before nix search --no-eval-cache --offline ../nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 8.880 s ± 0.048 s [User: 6.809 s, System: 1.643 s] Range (min … max): 8.781 s … 8.993 s 20 runs nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 375.0 ms ± 2.2 ms [User: 339.8 ms, System: 35.2 ms] Range (min … max): 371.5 ms … 379.3 ms 20 runs nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.831 s ± 0.040 s [User: 2.536 s, System: 0.225 s] Range (min … max): 2.769 s … 2.912 s 20 runs after nix search --no-eval-cache --offline ../nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 8.832 s ± 0.048 s [User: 6.757 s, System: 1.657 s] Range (min … max): 8.743 s … 8.921 s 20 runs nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 367.4 ms ± 3.2 ms [User: 332.7 ms, System: 34.7 ms] Range (min … max): 364.6 ms … 374.6 ms 20 runs nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.810 s ± 0.030 s [User: 2.517 s, System: 0.225 s] Range (min … max): 2.742 s … 2.854 s 20 runs

2021-11-04Optimize primop callsEelco Dolstra
We now parse function applications as a vector of arguments rather than as a chain of binary applications, e.g. 'substring 1 2 "foo"' is parsed as ExprCall { .fun = <substring>, .args = [ <1>, <2>, <"foo"> ] } rather than ExprApp (ExprApp (ExprApp <substring> <1>) <2>) <"foo"> This allows primops to be called immediately (if enough arguments are supplied) without having to allocate intermediate tPrimOpApp values. On $ nix-instantiate --dry-run '<nixpkgs/nixos/release-combined.nix>' -A nixos.tests.simple.x86_64-linux this gives a substantial performance improvement: user CPU time: median = 0.9209 mean = 0.9218 stddev = 0.0073 min = 0.9086 max = 0.9340 [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=-0.21433±0.00677] elapsed time: median = 1.0585 mean = 1.0584 stddev = 0.0024 min = 1.0523 max = 1.0623 [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=-0.20594±0.00236] because it reduces the number of tPrimOpApp allocations from 551990 to 42534 (i.e. only small minority of primop calls are partially applied) which in turn reduces time spent in the garbage collector.
