% % (c) The University of Glasgow 2006 % (c) The AQUA Project, Glasgow University, 1994-1998 % Core-syntax unfoldings Unfoldings (which can travel across module boundaries) are in Core syntax (namely @CoreExpr@s). The type @Unfolding@ sits ``above'' simply-Core-expressions unfoldings, capturing ``higher-level'' things we know about a binding, usually things that the simplifier found out (e.g., ``it's a literal''). In the corner of a @CoreUnfolding@ unfolding, you will find, unsurprisingly, a Core expression. \begin{code}

\end{code} Note [Occurrence analysis of unfoldings] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We do occurrence-analysis of unfoldings once and for all, when the unfolding is built, rather than each time we inline them. But given this decision it's vital that we do *always* do it. Consider this unfolding \x -> letrec { f = ...g...; g* = f } in body where g* is (for some strange reason) the loop breaker. If we don't occ-anal it when reading it in, we won't mark g as a loop breaker, and we may inline g entirely in body, dropping its binding, and leaving the occurrence in f out of scope. This happened in Trac #8892, where the unfolding in question was a DFun unfolding. But more generally, the simplifier is designed on the basis that it is looking at occurrence-analysed expressions, so better ensure that they acutally are. Note [Calculate unfolding guidance on the non-occ-anal'd expression] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notice that we give the non-occur-analysed expression to calcUnfoldingGuidance. In some ways it'd be better to occur-analyse first; for example, sometimes during simplification, there's a large let-bound thing which has been substituted, and so is now dead; so 'expr' contains two copies of the thing while the occurrence-analysed expression doesn't. Nevertheless, we *don't* and *must not* occ-analyse before computing the size because a) The size computation bales out after a while, whereas occurrence analysis does not. b) Residency increases sharply if you occ-anal first. I'm not 100% sure why, but it's a large effect. Compiling Cabal went from residency of 534M to over 800M with this one change. This can occasionally mean that the guidance is very pessimistic; it gets fixed up next round. And it should be rare, because large let-bound things that are dead are usually caught by preInlineUnconditionally %************************************************************************ %* * \subsection{The UnfoldingGuidance type} %* * %************************************************************************ \begin{code}

\end{code} Note [Computing the size of an expression] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The basic idea of sizeExpr is obvious enough: count nodes. But getting the heuristics right has taken a long time. Here's the basic strategy: * Variables, literals: 0 (Exception for string literals, see litSize.) * Function applications (f e1 .. en): 1 + #value args * Constructor applications: 1, regardless of #args * Let(rec): 1 + size of components * Note, cast: 0 Examples Size Term -------------- 0 42# 0 x 0 True 2 f x 1 Just x 4 f (g x) Notice that 'x' counts 0, while (f x) counts 2. That's deliberate: there's a function call to account for. Notice also that constructor applications are very cheap, because exposing them to a caller is so valuable. [25/5/11] All sizes are now multiplied by 10, except for primops (which have sizes like 1 or 4. This makes primops look fantastically cheap, and seems to be almost unversally beneficial. Done partly as a result of #4978. Note [Do not inline top-level bottoming functions] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The FloatOut pass has gone to some trouble to float out calls to 'error' and similar friends. See Note [Bottoming floats] in SetLevels. Do not re-inline them! But we *do* still inline if they are very small (the uncondInline stuff). Note [INLINE for small functions] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider {-# INLINE f #-} f x = Just x g y = f y Then f's RHS is no larger than its LHS, so we should inline it into even the most boring context. In general, f the function is sufficiently small that its body is as small as the call itself, the inline unconditionally, regardless of how boring the context is. Things to note: (1) We inline *unconditionally* if inlined thing is smaller (using sizeExpr) than the thing it's replacing. Notice that (f x) --> (g 3) -- YES, unconditionally (f x) --> x : [] -- YES, *even though* there are two -- arguments to the cons x --> g 3 -- NO x --> Just v -- NO It's very important not to unconditionally replace a variable by a non-atomic term. (2) We do this even if the thing isn't saturated, else we end up with the silly situation that f x y = x ...map (f 3)... doesn't inline. Even in a boring context, inlining without being saturated will give a lambda instead of a PAP, and will be more efficient at runtime. (3) However, when the function's arity > 0, we do insist that it has at least one value argument at the call site. (This check is made in the UnfWhen case of callSiteInline.) Otherwise we find this: f = /\a \x:a. x d = /\b. MkD (f b) If we inline f here we get d = /\b. MkD (\x:b. x) and then prepareRhs floats out the argument, abstracting the type variables, so we end up with the original again! (4) We must be much more cautious about arity-zero things. Consider let x = y +# z in ... In *size* terms primops look very small, because the generate a single instruction, but we do not want to unconditionally replace every occurrence of x with (y +# z). So we only do the unconditional-inline thing for *trivial* expressions. NB: you might think that PostInlineUnconditionally would do this but it doesn't fire for top-level things; see SimplUtils Note [Top level and postInlineUnconditionally] \begin{code}

\end{code} Note [Constructor size and result discount] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Treat a constructors application as size 10, regardless of how many arguments it has; we are keen to expose them (and we charge separately for their args). We can't treat them as size zero, else we find that (Just x) has size 0, which is the same as a lone variable; and hence 'v' will always be replaced by (Just x), where v is bound to Just x. The "result discount" is applied if the result of the call is scrutinised (say by a case). For a constructor application that will mean the constructor application will disappear, so we don't need to charge it to the function. So the discount should at least match the cost of the constructor application, namely 10. But to give a bit of extra incentive we give a discount of 10*(1 + n_val_args). Simon M tried a MUCH bigger discount: (10 * (10 + n_val_args)), and said it was an "unambiguous win", but its terribly dangerous because a fuction with many many case branches, each finishing with a constructor, can have an arbitrarily large discount. This led to terrible code bloat: see Trac #6099. Note [Unboxed tuple size and result discount] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ However, unboxed tuples count as size zero. I found occasions where we had f x y z = case op# x y z of { s -> (# s, () #) } and f wasn't getting inlined. I tried giving unboxed tuples a *result discount* of zero (see the commented-out line). Why? When returned as a result they do not allocate, so maybe we don't want to charge so much for them If you have a non-zero discount here, we find that workers often get inlined back into wrappers, because it look like f x = case $wf x of (# a,b #) -> (a,b) and we are keener because of the case. However while this change shrank binary sizes by 0.5% it also made spectral/boyer allocate 5% more. All other changes were very small. So it's not a big deal but I didn't adopt the idea. Note [Function and non-function discounts] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We want a discount if the function is applied. A good example is monadic combinators with continuation arguments, where inlining is quite important. But we don't want a big discount when a function is called many times (see the detailed comments with Trac #6048) because if the function is big it won't be inlined at its many call sites and no benefit results. Indeed, we can get exponentially big inlinings this way; that is what Trac #6048 is about. On the other hand, for data-valued arguments, if there are lots of case expressions in the body, each one will get smaller if we apply the function to a constructor application, so we *want* a big discount if the argument is scrutinised by many case expressions. Conclusion: - For functions, take the max of the discounts - For data values, take the sum of the discounts Note [Literal integer size] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Literal integers *can* be big (mkInteger [...coefficients...]), but need not be (S# n). We just use an aribitrary big-ish constant here so that, in particular, we don't inline top-level defns like n = S# 5 There's no point in doing so -- any optimisations will see the S# through n's unfolding. Nor will a big size inhibit unfoldings functions that mention a literal Integer, because the float-out pass will float all those constants to top level. \begin{code}

buildSize = SizeIs (_ILIT(0)) emptyBag (_ILIT(40))

	-- Indeed, we should add a result_discount becuause build is 
	-- very like a constructor.  We don't bother to check that the
	-- build is saturated (it usually is).  The "-2" discounts for the \c n, 
	-- The "4" is rather arbitrary.

augmentSize :: ExprSize
augmentSize = SizeIs (_ILIT(0)) emptyBag (_ILIT(40))
	-- Ditto (augment t (\cn -> e) ys) should cost only the cost of
	-- e plus ys. The -2 accounts for the \cn 

-- When we return a lambda, give a discount if it's used (applied)
lamScrutDiscount :: DynFlags -> ExprSize -> ExprSize
lamScrutDiscount dflags (SizeIs n vs _) = SizeIs n vs (iUnbox (ufFunAppDiscount dflags))
lamScrutDiscount _      TooBig          = TooBig
\end{code} Note [addAltSize result discounts] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When adding the size of alternatives, we *add* the result discounts too, rather than take the *maximum*. For a multi-branch case, this gives a discount for each branch that returns a constructor, making us keener to inline. I did try using 'max' instead, but it makes nofib 'rewrite' and 'puzzle' allocate significantly more, and didn't make binary sizes shrink significantly either. Note [Discounts and thresholds] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Constants for discounts and thesholds are defined in main/DynFlags, all of form ufXxxx. They are: ufCreationThreshold At a definition site, if the unfolding is bigger than this, we may discard it altogether ufUseThreshold At a call site, if the unfolding, less discounts, is smaller than this, then it's small enough inline ufKeenessFactor Factor by which the discounts are multiplied before subtracting from size ufDictDiscount The discount for each occurrence of a dictionary argument as an argument of a class method. Should be pretty small else big functions may get inlined ufFunAppDiscount Discount for a function argument that is applied. Quite large, because if we inline we avoid the higher-order call. ufDearOp The size of a foreign call or not-dupable PrimOp Note [Function applications] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a function application (f a b) - If 'f' is an argument to the function being analysed, and there's at least one value arg, record a FunAppDiscount for f - If the application if a PAP (arity > 2 in this example) record a *result* discount (because inlining with "extra" args in the call may mean that we now get a saturated application) Code for manipulating sizes \begin{code}

It decides whether to inline a variable at a call site callSiteInline is used at call sites, so it is a bit more generous. It's a very important function that embodies lots of heuristics. A non-WHNF can be inlined if it doesn't occur inside a lambda, and occurs exactly once or occurs once in each branch of a case and is small If the thing is in WHNF, there's no danger of duplicating work, so we can inline if it occurs once, or is small NOTE: we don't want to inline top-level functions that always diverge.

\end{code} Note [Unfold into lazy contexts], Note [RHS of lets] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the call is the argument of a function with a RULE, or the RHS of a let, we are a little bit keener to inline. For example f y = (y,y,y) g y = let x = f y in ...(case x of (a,b,c) -> ...) ... We'd inline 'f' if the call was in a case context, and it kind-of-is, only we can't see it. Also x = f v could be expensive whereas x = case v of (a,b) -> a is patently cheap and may allow more eta expansion. So we treat the RHS of a let as not-totally-boring. Note [Unsaturated applications] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When a call is not saturated, we *still* inline if one of the arguments has interesting structure. That's sometimes very important. A good example is the Ord instance for Bool in Base: Rec { $fOrdBool =GHC.Classes.D:Ord @ Bool ... $cmin_ajX $cmin_ajX [Occ=LoopBreaker] :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool $cmin_ajX = GHC.Classes.$dmmin @ Bool $fOrdBool } But the defn of GHC.Classes.$dmmin is: $dmmin :: forall a. GHC.Classes.Ord a => a -> a -> a {- Arity: 3, HasNoCafRefs, Strictness: SLL, Unfolding: (\ @ a $dOrd :: GHC.Classes.Ord a x :: a y :: a -> case @ a GHC.Classes.<= @ a $dOrd x y of wild { GHC.Types.False -> y GHC.Types.True -> x }) -} We *really* want to inline $dmmin, even though it has arity 3, in order to unravel the recursion. Note [Things to watch] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * { y = I# 3; x = y `cast` co; ...case (x `cast` co) of ... } Assume x is exported, so not inlined unconditionally. Then we want x to inline unconditionally; no reason for it not to, and doing so avoids an indirection. * { x = I# 3; ....f x.... } Make sure that x does not inline unconditionally! Lest we get extra allocation. Note [Inlining an InlineRule] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An InlineRules is used for (a) programmer INLINE pragmas (b) inlinings from worker/wrapper For (a) the RHS may be large, and our contract is that we *only* inline when the function is applied to all the arguments on the LHS of the source-code defn. (The uf_arity in the rule.) However for worker/wrapper it may be worth inlining even if the arity is not satisfied (as we do in the CoreUnfolding case) so we don't require saturation. Note [Nested functions] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If a function has a nested defn we also record some-benefit, on the grounds that we are often able to eliminate the binding, and hence the allocation, for the function altogether; this is good for join points. But this only makes sense for *functions*; inlining a constructor doesn't help allocation unless the result is scrutinised. UNLESS the constructor occurs just once, albeit possibly in multiple case branches. Then inlining it doesn't increase allocation, but it does increase the chance that the constructor won't be allocated at all in the branches that don't use it. Note [Cast then apply] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider myIndex = __inline_me ( (/\a. ) |> co ) co :: (forall a. a -> a) ~ (forall a. T a) ... /\a.\x. case ((myIndex a) |> sym co) x of { ... } ... We need to inline myIndex to unravel this; but the actual call (myIndex a) has no value arguments. The ValAppCtxt gives it enough incentive to inline. Note [Inlining in ArgCtxt] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The condition (arity > 0) here is very important, because otherwise we end up inlining top-level stuff into useless places; eg x = I# 3# f = \y. g x This can make a very big difference: it adds 16% to nofib 'integer' allocs, and 20% to 'power'. At one stage I replaced this condition by 'True' (leading to the above slow-down). The motivation was test eyeball/inline1.hs; but that seems to work ok now. NOTE: arguably, we should inline in ArgCtxt only if the result of the call is at least CONLIKE. At least for the cases where we use ArgCtxt for the RHS of a 'let', we only profit from the inlining if we get a CONLIKE thing (modulo lets). Note [Lone variables] See also Note [Interaction of exprIsWorkFree and lone variables] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ which appears below The "lone-variable" case is important. I spent ages messing about with unsatisfactory varaints, but this is nice. The idea is that if a variable appears all alone as an arg of lazy fn, or rhs BoringCtxt as scrutinee of a case CaseCtxt as arg of a fn ArgCtxt AND it is bound to a cheap expression then we should not inline it (unless there is some other reason, e.g. is is the sole occurrence). That is what is happening at the use of 'lone_variable' in 'interesting_call'. Why? At least in the case-scrutinee situation, turning let x = (a,b) in case x of y -> ... into let x = (a,b) in case (a,b) of y -> ... and thence to let x = (a,b) in let y = (a,b) in ... is bad if the binding for x will remain. Another example: I discovered that strings were getting inlined straight back into applications of 'error' because the latter is strict. s = "foo" f = \x -> ...(error s)... Fundamentally such contexts should not encourage inlining because the context can ``see'' the unfolding of the variable (e.g. case or a RULE) so there's no gain. If the thing is bound to a value. However, watch out: * Consider this: foo = _inline_ (\n. [n]) bar = _inline_ (foo 20) baz = \n. case bar of { (m:_) -> m + n } Here we really want to inline 'bar' so that we can inline 'foo' and the whole thing unravels as it should obviously do. This is important: in the NDP project, 'bar' generates a closure data structure rather than a list. So the non-inlining of lone_variables should only apply if the unfolding is regarded as cheap; because that is when exprIsConApp_maybe looks through the unfolding. Hence the "&& is_wf" in the InlineRule branch. * Even a type application or coercion isn't a lone variable. Consider case $fMonadST @ RealWorld of { :DMonad a b c -> c } We had better inline that sucker! The case won't see through it. For now, I'm treating treating a variable applied to types in a *lazy* context "lone". The motivating example was f = /\a. \x. BIG g = /\a. \y. h (f a) There's no advantage in inlining f here, and perhaps a significant disadvantage. Hence some_val_args in the Stop case Note [Interaction of exprIsWorkFree and lone variables] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The lone-variable test says "don't inline if a case expression scrutines a lone variable whose unfolding is cheap". It's very important that, under these circumstances, exprIsConApp_maybe can spot a constructor application. So, for example, we don't consider let x = e in (x,x) to be cheap, and that's good because exprIsConApp_maybe doesn't think that expression is a constructor application. In the 'not (lone_variable && is_wf)' test, I used to test is_value rather than is_wf, which was utterly wrong, because the above expression responds True to exprIsHNF, which is what sets is_value. This kind of thing can occur if you have {-# INLINE foo #-} foo = let x = e in (x,x) which Roman did. \begin{code}

\end{code} %************************************************************************ %* * Interesting arguments %* * %************************************************************************ Note [Interesting arguments] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An argument is interesting if it deserves a discount for unfoldings with a discount in that argument position. The idea is to avoid unfolding a function that is applied only to variables that have no unfolding (i.e. they are probably lambda bound): f x y z There is little point in inlining f here. Generally, *values* (like (C a b) and (\x.e)) deserve discounts. But we must look through lets, eg (let x = e in C a b), because the let will float, exposing the value, if we inline. That makes it different to exprIsHNF. Before 2009 we said it was interesting if the argument had *any* structure at all; i.e. (hasSomeUnfolding v). But does too much inlining; see Trac #3016. But we don't regard (f x y) as interesting, unless f is unsaturated. If it's saturated and f hasn't inlined, then it's probably not going to now! Note [Conlike is interesting] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consider f d = ...((*) d x y)... ... f (df d')... where df is con-like. Then we'd really like to inline 'f' so that the rule for (*) (df d) can fire. To do this a) we give a discount for being an argument of a class-op (eg (*) d) b) we say that a con-like argument (eg (df d)) is interesting \begin{code}
