Of course we certainly have to do so if the case forces an evaluation, or if there is a primitive op which can trigger GC. A more interesting situation is this (a Plan-B situation) !P!; ...P... case x# of 0# -> !Q!; ...Q... default -> !R!; ...R... where !x! indicates a possible heap-check point. The heap checks in the alternatives *can* be omitted, in which case the topmost heapcheck will take their worst case into account. In favour of omitting !Q!, !R!: - *May* save a heap overflow test, if ...P... allocates anything. - We can use relative addressing from a single Hp to get at all the closures so allocated. - No need to save volatile vars etc across heap checks in !Q!, !R! Against omitting !Q!, !R! - May put a heap-check into the inner loop. Suppose the main loop is P -> R -> P -> R... Q is the loop exit, and only it does allocation. This only hurts us if P does no allocation. If P allocates, then there is a heap check in the inner loop anyway. - May do more allocation than reqd. This sometimes bites us badly. For example, nfib (ha!) allocates about 30\% more space if the worst-casing is done, because many many calls to nfib are leaf calls which don't need to allocate anything. We can un-allocate, but that costs an instruction Neither problem hurts us if there is only one alternative. Suppose the inner loop is P->R->P->R etc. Then here is how many heap checks we get in the *inner loop* under various conditions Alloc Heap check in branches (!Q!, !R!)? P Q R yes no (absorb to !P!) -------------------------------------- n n n 0 0 n y n 0 1 n . y 1 1 y . y 2 1 y . n 1 1 Best choices: absorb heap checks from Q and R into !P! iff a) P itself does some allocation or b) P does allocation, or there is exactly one alternative We adopt (b) because that is more likely to put the heap check at the entry to a function, when not many things are live. After a bunch of single-branch cases, we may have lots of things live Hence: two basic plans for case e of r { alts } ------ Plan A: the general case --------- ...save current cost centre... ...code for e, with sequel (SetLocals r) ...restore current cost centre... ...code for alts... ...alts do their own heap checks ------ Plan B: special case when --------- (i) e does not allocate or call GC (ii) either upstream code performs allocation or there is just one alternative Then heap allocation in the (single) case branch is absorbed by the upstream check.

If we let the ordinary case code handle it, we'll get something like tmp1 = a < b tmp2 = Bool_closure_tbl[tmp1] if (tmp2 & 7 != 0) then ... // normal tagged case but this junk won't optimise away. What we really want is just an inline comparison: if (a < b) then ... So we add a special case to generate tmp1 = a < b if (tmp1 == 0) then ... and later optimisations will further improve this. Now that #6135 has been resolved it should be possible to remove that special case. The idea behind this special case and pre-6135 implementation of Bool-returning primops was that tagToEnum# was added implicitly in the codegen and then optimized away. Now the call to tagToEnum# is explicit in the source code, which allows to optimize it away at the earlier stages of compilation (i.e. at the Core level). Note [Scrutinising VoidRep] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suppose we have this STG code: f = \[s : State# RealWorld] -> case s of _ -> blah This is very odd. Why are we scrutinising a state token? But it can arise with bizarre NOINLINE pragmas (#9964) crash :: IO () crash = IO (\s -> let {-# NOINLINE s' #-} s' = s in (# s', () #)) Now the trouble is that 's' has VoidRep, and we do not bind void arguments in the environment; they don't live anywhere. See the calls to nonVoidIds in various places. So we must not look up 's' in the environment. Instead, just evaluate the RHS! Simple. Note [Dead-binder optimisation] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A case-binder, or data-constructor argument, may be marked as dead, because we preserve occurrence-info on binders in CoreTidy (see CoreTidy.tidyIdBndr). If the binder is dead, we can sometimes eliminate a load. While CmmSink will eliminate that load, it's very easy to kill it at source (giving CmmSink less work to do), and in any case CmmSink only runs with -O. Since the majority of case binders are dead, this optimisation probably still has a great benefit-cost ratio and we want to keep it for -O0. See also Phab:D5358. This probably also was the reason for occurrence hack in Phab:D5339 to exist, perhaps because the occurrence information preserved by 'CoreTidy.tidyIdBndr' was insufficient. But now that CmmSink does the job we deleted the hacks. -} cgCase (StgApp v []) _ (PrimAlt _) alts | isVoidRep (idPrimRep v) -- See Note [Scrutinising VoidRep] , [(DEFAULT, _, rhs)] <- alts = cgExpr rhs {- Note [Dodgy unsafeCoerce 1] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider case (x :: HValue) |> co of (y :: MutVar# Int) DEFAULT -> ...

Note [scrut sequel] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The job of the scrutinee is to assign its value(s) to alt_regs. Additionally, if we plan to do a heap-check in the alternatives (see Note [Compiling case expressions]), then we *must* retreat Hp to recover any unused heap before passing control to the sequel. If we don't do this, then any unused heap will become slop because the heap check will reset the heap usage. Slop in the heap breaks LDV profiling (+RTS -hb) which needs to do a linear sweep through the nursery.

When the mapping -- of constructors to the pointer tag range 1..mAX_PTR_TAG -- is not injective, then we have a "big data type", also -- called a "big (constructor) family" in the literature. -- Constructor tags residing in the info table are injective, -- but considerably more expensive to obtain, due to additional -- memory access(es). -- -- When doing case analysis on a value of a "big data type" -- we need two nested switch statements to make up for the lack -- of injectivity of pointer tagging, also taking the info -- table tag into account. The exact mechanism is described next. -- -- In the general case, switching on big family alternatives -- is done by two nested switch statements. According to -- Note [Tagging big families], the outer switch -- looks at the pointer tag and the inner dereferences the -- pointer and switches on the info table tag. -- -- We can handle a simple case first, namely when none -- of the case alternatives mention a constructor having -- a pointer tag of 1..mAX_PTR_TAG-1. In this case we -- simply emit a switch on the info table tag. -- Note that the other simple case is when all mentioned -- alternatives lie in 1..mAX_PTR_TAG-1, in which case we can -- switch on the ptr tag only, just like in the small family case. -- -- There is a single intricacy with a nested switch: -- Both should branch to the same default alternative, and as such -- avoid duplicate codegen of potentially heavy code. The outer -- switch generates the actual code with a prepended fresh label, -- while the inner one only generates a jump to that label. -- -- For example, let's assume a 64-bit architecture, so that all -- heap objects are 8-byte aligned, and hence the address of a -- heap object ends in `000` (three zero bits). -- -- Then consider the following data type -- -- > data Big = T0 | T1 | T2 | T3 | T4 | T5 | T6 | T7 | T8 -- Ptr tag: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 7 -- As bits: 001 010 011 100 101 110 111 111 111 -- Info pointer tag (zero based): -- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 -- -- Then \case T2 -> True; T8 -> True; _ -> False -- will result in following code (slightly cleaned-up and -- commented -ddump-cmm-from-stg): {- R1 = _sqI::P64; -- scrutinee if (R1 & 7 != 0) goto cqO; else goto cqP; cqP: // global -- enter call (I64[R1])(R1) returns to cqO, args: 8, res: 8, upd: 8; cqO: // global -- already WHNF _sqJ::P64 = R1; _cqX::P64 = _sqJ::P64 & 7; -- extract pointer tag switch [1 .. 7] _cqX::P64 { case 3 : goto cqW; case 7 : goto cqR; default: {goto cqS;} } cqR: // global _cr2 = I32[I64[_sqJ::P64 & (-8)] - 4]; -- tag from info pointer switch [6 .. 8] _cr2::I64 { case 8 : goto cr1; default: {goto cr0;} } cr1: // global R1 = GHC.Types.True_closure+2; call (P64[(old + 8)])(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8; cr0: // global -- technically necessary label goto cqS; cqW: // global R1 = GHC.Types.True_closure+2; call (P64[(old + 8)])(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8; cqS: // global R1 = GHC.Types.False_closure+1; call (P64[(old + 8)])(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8; -} -- -- For 32-bit systems we only have 2 tag bits in the pointers at our disposal, -- so the performance win is dubious, especially in face of the increased code -- size due to double switching.

We use 1..MAX_PTR_TAG-1 as pointer-resident tags where -- the tags in the pointer and the info table are in a one-to-one -- relation, whereas tag MAX_PTR_TAG is used as "spill over", signifying -- we have to fall back and get the precise constructor tag from the -- info-table. -- -- Consequently we now cascade switches, because we have to check -- the pointer tag first, and when it is MAX_PTR_TAG, fetch the precise -- tag from the info table, and switch on that. The only technically -- tricky part is that the default case needs (logical) duplication. -- To do this we emit an extra label for it and branch to that from -- the second switch.

Consider this: -- -- foo.info: -- a = R1 // calling convention -- b = R2 -- goto L1 -- L1: ... -- ... -- ... -- L2: R1 = x -- R2 = y -- call foo(R1,R2) -- -- Instead of putting x and y into registers (or other locations required by the -- calling convention) and performing a call we can put them into local -- variables a and b and perform jump to L1: -- -- foo.info: -- a = R1 -- b = R2 -- goto L1 -- L1: ... -- ... -- ... -- L2: a = x -- b = y -- goto L1 -- -- This can be done only when function is calling itself in a tail position -- and only if the call passes number of parameters equal to function's arity. -- Note that this cannot be performed if a function calls itself with a -- continuation. -- -- This in fact implements optimization known as "loopification". It was -- described in "Low-level code optimizations in the Glasgow Haskell Compiler" -- by Krzysztof Woś, though we use different approach. Krzysztof performed his -- optimization at the Cmm level, whereas we perform ours during code generation -- (Stg-to-Cmm pass) essentially making sure that optimized Cmm code is -- generated in the first place. -- -- Implementation is spread across a couple of places in the code: -- -- * FCode monad stores additional information in its reader environment -- (cgd_self_loop field). This information tells us which function can -- tail call itself in an optimized way (it is the function currently -- being compiled), what is the label of a loop header (L1 in example above) -- and information about local registers in which we should arguments -- before making a call (this would be a and b in example above). -- -- * Whenever we are compiling a function, we set that information to reflect -- the fact that function currently being compiled can be jumped to, instead -- of called. This is done in closureCodyBody in GHC.StgToCmm.Bind. -- -- * We also have to emit a label to which we will be jumping. We make sure -- that the label is placed after a stack check but before the heap -- check. The reason is that making a recursive tail-call does not increase -- the stack so we only need to check once. But it may grow the heap, so we -- have to repeat the heap check in every self-call. This is done in -- do_checks in GHC.StgToCmm.Heap. -- -- * When we begin compilation of another closure we remove the additional -- information from the environment. This is done by forkClosureBody -- in GHC.StgToCmm.Monad. Other functions that duplicate the environment - -- forkLneBody, forkAlts, codeOnly - duplicate that information. In other -- words, we only need to clean the environment of the self-loop information -- when compiling right hand side of a closure (binding). -- -- * When compiling a call (cgIdApp) we use getCallMethod to decide what kind -- of call will be generated. getCallMethod decides to generate a self -- recursive tail call when (a) environment stores information about -- possible self tail-call; (b) that tail call is to a function currently -- being compiled; (c) number of passed non-void arguments is equal to -- function's arity. (d) loopification is turned on via -floopification -- command-line option. -- -- * Command line option to turn loopification on and off is implemented in -- DynFlags. -- -- -- Note [Void arguments in self-recursive tail calls] -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- -- State# tokens can get in the way of the loopification optimization as seen in -- #11372. Consider this: -- -- foo :: [a] -- -> (a -> State# s -> (# State s, Bool #)) -- -> State# s -- -> (# State# s, Maybe a #) -- foo [] f s = (# s, Nothing #) -- foo (x:xs) f s = case f x s of -- (# s', b #) -> case b of -- True -> (# s', Just x #) -- False -> foo xs f s' -- -- We would like to compile the call to foo as a local jump instead of a call -- (see Note [Self-recursive tail calls]). However, the generated function has -- an arity of 2 while we apply it to 3 arguments, one of them being of void -- type. Thus, we mustn't count arguments of void type when checking whether -- we can turn a call into a self-recursive jump. -- emitEnter :: CmmExpr -> FCode ReturnKind emitEnter fun = do { dflags <- getDynFlags ; adjustHpBackwards ; sequel <- getSequel ; updfr_off <- getUpdFrameOff ; case sequel of -- For a return, we have the option of generating a tag-test or -- not. If the value is tagged, we can return directly, which -- is quicker than entering the value.
