module Exitify ( exitifyProgram ) where {- Note [Exitification] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This module implements Exitification. The goal is to pull as much code out of recursive functions as possible, as the simplifier is better at inlining into call-sites that are not in recursive functions. Example: let t = foo bar joinrec go 0 x y = t (x*x) go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … We’d like to inline `t`, but that does not happen: Because t is a thunk and is used in a recursive function, doing so might lose sharing in general. In this case, however, `t` is on the _exit path_ of `go`, so called at most once. How do we make this clearly visible to the simplifier? A code path (i.e., an expression in a tail-recursive position) in a recursive function is an exit path if it does not contain a recursive call. We can bind this expression outside the recursive function, as a join-point. Example result: let t = foo bar join exit x = t (x*x) joinrec go 0 x y = jump exit x go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … Now `t` is no longer in a recursive function, and good things happen! -} import GhcPrelude import Var import Id import IdInfo import CoreSyn import CoreUtils import State import Unique import VarSet import VarEnv import CoreFVs import FastString import Type import MkCore ( sortQuantVars ) import Data.Bifunctor import Control.Monad -- | Traverses the AST, simply to find all joinrecs and call 'exitify' on them. exitifyProgram :: CoreProgram -> CoreProgram exitifyProgram binds = map goTopLvl binds where goTopLvl (NonRec v e) = NonRec v (go in_scope_toplvl e) goTopLvl (Rec pairs) = Rec (map (second (go in_scope_toplvl)) pairs) in_scope_toplvl = emptyInScopeSet `extendInScopeSetList` bindersOfBinds binds go :: InScopeSet -> CoreExpr -> CoreExpr go _ e@(Var{}) = e go _ e@(Lit {}) = e go _ e@(Type {}) = e go _ e@(Coercion {}) = e go in_scope (Lam v e') = Lam v (go in_scope' e') where in_scope' = in_scope `extendInScopeSet` v go in_scope (App e1 e2) = App (go in_scope e1) (go in_scope e2) go in_scope (Case scrut bndr ty alts) = Case (go in_scope scrut) bndr ty (map (goAlt in_scope') alts) where in_scope' = in_scope `extendInScopeSet` bndr go in_scope (Cast e' c) = Cast (go in_scope e') c go in_scope (Tick t e') = Tick t (go in_scope e') go in_scope (Let bind body) = goBind in_scope bind (go in_scope' body) where in_scope' = in_scope `extendInScopeSetList` bindersOf bind goAlt :: InScopeSet -> CoreAlt -> CoreAlt goAlt in_scope (dc, pats, rhs) = (dc, pats, go in_scope' rhs) where in_scope' = in_scope `extendInScopeSetList` pats goBind :: InScopeSet -> CoreBind -> (CoreExpr -> CoreExpr) goBind in_scope (NonRec v rhs) = Let (NonRec v (go in_scope rhs)) goBind in_scope (Rec pairs) | is_join_rec = exitify in_scope' pairs' | otherwise = Let (Rec pairs') where pairs' = map (second (go in_scope')) pairs is_join_rec = any (isJoinId . fst) pairs in_scope' = in_scope `extendInScopeSetList` bindersOf (Rec pairs) -- | Given a recursive group of a joinrec, identifies “exit paths” and binds them as -- join-points outside the joinrec. exitify :: InScopeSet -> [(Var,CoreExpr)] -> (CoreExpr -> CoreExpr) exitify in_scope pairs = \body ->mkExitLets exits (mkLetRec pairs' body) where mkExitLets ((exitId, exitRhs):exits') = mkLetNonRec exitId exitRhs . mkExitLets exits' mkExitLets [] = id -- We need the set of free variables of many subexpressions here, so -- annotate the AST with them -- see Note [Calculating free variables] ann_pairs = map (second freeVars) pairs -- Which are the recursive calls? recursive_calls = mkVarSet $ map fst pairs (pairs',exits) = (`runState` []) $ do forM ann_pairs $ \(x,rhs) -> do -- go past the lambdas of the join point let (args, body) = collectNAnnBndrs (idJoinArity x) rhs body' <- go args body let rhs' = mkLams args body' return (x, rhs') -- main working function.

Neither do we want this to happen joinrec go 0 x y = x+x go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … ==> join exit x = x+x joinrec go 0 x y = jump exit x go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … where the floated expression `x+x` is a bit more complicated, but still not intersting. Expressions are interesting when they move an occurrence of a variable outside the recursive `go` that can benefit from being obviously called once, for example: * a local thunk that can then be inlined (see example in note [Exitification]) * the parameter of a function, where the demand analyzer then can then see that it is called at most once, and hence improve the function’s strictness signature So we only hoist an exit expression out if it mentiones at least one free, non-imported variable. Note [Jumps can be interesting] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A jump to a join point can be interesting, if its arguments contain free non-exported variables (z in the following example): joinrec go 0 x y = jump j (x+z) go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … ==> join exit x y = jump j (x+z) joinrec go 0 x y = jump exit x go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) The join point itself can be interesting, even if none if its arguments are (assume `g` to be an imported function that, on its own, does not make this interesting): join j y = map f y joinrec go 0 x y = jump j (map g x) go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … Here, `j` would not be inlined because we do not inline something that looks like an exit join point (see Note [Do not inline exit join points]). But after exitification we have join j y = map f y join exit x = jump j (map g x) joinrec go 0 x y = jump j (map g x) go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … and now we can inline `j` and this will allow `map/map` to fire. Note [Idempotency] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We do not want this to happen, where we replace the floated expression with essentially the same expression: join exit x = t (x*x) joinrec go 0 x y = jump exit x go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … ==> join exit x = t (x*x) join exit' x = jump exit x joinrec go 0 x y = jump exit' x go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … So when the RHS is a join jump, and all of its arguments are captured variables, then we leave it in place. Note that `jump exit x` in this example looks interesting, as `exit` is a free variable. Therefore, idempotency does not simply follow from floating only interesting expressions. Note [Calculating free variables] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We have two options where to annotate the tree with free variables: A) The whole tree. B) Each individual joinrec as we come across it. Downside of A: We pay the price on the whole module, even outside any joinrecs. Downside of B: We pay the price per joinrec, possibly multiple times when joinrecs are nested. Further downside of A: If the exitify function returns annotated expressions, it would have to ensure that the annotations are correct. Note [Do not inline exit join points] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When we have let t = foo bar join exit x = t (x*x) joinrec go 0 x y = jump exit x go (n-1) x y = jump go (n-1) (x+y) in … we do not want the simplifier to simply inline `exit` back in (which it happily would). To prevent this, we need to recognize exit join points, and then disable inlining. Exit join points, recognizeable using `isExitJoinId` are join points with an occurence in a recursive group, and can be recognized using `isExitJoinId`. This function detects joinpoints with `occ_in_lam (idOccinfo id) == True`, because the lambdas of a non-recursive join point are not considered for `occ_in_lam`. For example, in the following code, `j1` is /not/ marked occ_in_lam, because `j2` is called only once. join j1 x = x+1 join j2 y = join j1 (y+2) We create exit join point ids with such an `OccInfo`, see `exit_occ_info`. To prevent inlining, we check for that in `preInlineUnconditionally` directly. For `postInlineUnconditionally` and unfolding-based inlining, the function `simplLetUnfolding` simply gives exit join points no unfolding, which prevents this kind of inlining. Note [Placement of the exitification pass] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I (Joachim) experimented with multiple positions for the Exitification pass in the Core2Core pipeline: A) Before the `simpl_phases` B) Between the `simpl_phases` and the "main" simplifier pass C) After demand_analyser D) Before the final simplification phase Here is the table (this is without inlining join exit points in the final simplifier run): Program | Allocs | Instrs | ABCD.log A.log B.log C.log D.log | ABCD.log A.log B.log C.log D.log ----------------|---------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------- fannkuch-redux | -99.9% +0.0% -99.9% -99.9% -99.9% | -3.9% +0.5% -3.0% -3.9% -3.9% fasta | -0.0% +0.0% +0.0% -0.0% -0.0% | -8.5% +0.0% +0.0% -0.0% -8.5% fem | 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% +0.0% | -2.2% -0.1% -0.1% -2.1% -2.1% fish | 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% +0.0% | -3.1% +0.0% -1.1% -1.1% -0.0% k-nucleotide | -91.3% -91.0% -91.0% -91.3% -91.3% | -6.3% +11.4% +11.4% -6.3% -6.2% scs | -0.0% -0.0% -0.0% -0.0% -0.0% | -3.4% -3.0% -3.1% -3.3% -3.3% simple | -6.0% 0.0% -6.0% -6.0% +0.0% | -3.4% +0.0% -5.2% -3.4% -0.1% spectral-norm | -0.0% 0.0% 0.0% -0.0% +0.0% | -2.7% +0.0% -2.7% -5.4% -5.4% ----------------|---------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------- Min | -95.0% -91.0% -95.0% -95.0% -95.0% | -8.5% -3.0% -5.2% -6.3% -8.5% Max | +0.2% +0.2% +0.2% +0.2% +1.5% | +0.4% +11.4% +11.4% +0.4% +1.5% Geometric Mean | -4.7% -2.1% -4.7% -4.7% -4.6% | -0.4% +0.1% -0.1% -0.3% -0.2% Position A is disqualified, as it does not get rid of the allocations in fannkuch-redux. Position A and B are disqualified because it increases instructions in k-nucleotide. Positions C and D have their advantages: C decreases allocations in simpl, but D instructions in fasta. Assuming we have a budget of _one_ run of Exitification, then C wins (but we could get more from running it multiple times, as seen in fish). -}
