Forwarding argument is optimized not to packed when no other arguments
and an internal object refers values before it. This size is decided
at called time, calculate the local variable index from the fixed end
point.
[Bug #20950]
ifunc proc has the ep allocated in the cfunc_proc_t which is the data of
the TypedData object. If an ifunc proc is duplicated, the ep points to
the ep of the source object. If the source object is freed, then the ep
of the duplicated object now points to a freed memory region. If we try
to use the ep we could crash.
For example, the following script crashes:
p = { a: 1 }.to_proc
100.times do
p = p.dup
GC.start
p.call
rescue ArgumentError
end
This commit changes ifunc proc to also duplicate the ep when it is duplicated.
To simplify the implementation, this makes Object#singleton_method
call the same method called by Object#method (rb_obj_method), then
check that the returned Method is defined before the superclass of the
object's singleton class. To keep the same error messages, it rescues
exceptions raised by rb_obj_method, and then raises its own exception.
Fixes [Bug #20620]
This function accepts flags:
RB_NO_KEYWORDS, RB_PASS_KEYWORDS, RB_PASS_CALLED_KEYWORDS:
Works as the same as rb_block_call_kw.
RB_BLOCK_NO_USE_PACKED_ARGS:
The given block ("bl_proc") does not use "yielded_arg" of rb_block_call_func_t.
Instead, the block accesses the yielded arguments via "argc" and "argv".
This flag allows the called method to yield arguments without allocating an Array.
This patch optimizes forwarding callers and callees. It only optimizes methods that only take `...` as their parameter, and then pass `...` to other calls.
Calls it optimizes look like this:
```ruby
def bar(a) = a
def foo(...) = bar(...) # optimized
foo(123)
```
```ruby
def bar(a) = a
def foo(...) = bar(1, 2, ...) # optimized
foo(123)
```
```ruby
def bar(*a) = a
def foo(...)
list = [1, 2]
bar(*list, ...) # optimized
end
foo(123)
```
All variants of the above but using `super` are also optimized, including a bare super like this:
```ruby
def foo(...)
super
end
```
This patch eliminates intermediate allocations made when calling methods that accept `...`.
We can observe allocation elimination like this:
```ruby
def m
x = GC.stat(:total_allocated_objects)
yield
GC.stat(:total_allocated_objects) - x
end
def bar(a) = a
def foo(...) = bar(...)
def test
m { foo(123) }
end
test
p test # allocates 1 object on master, but 0 objects with this patch
```
```ruby
def bar(a, b:) = a + b
def foo(...) = bar(...)
def test
m { foo(1, b: 2) }
end
test
p test # allocates 2 objects on master, but 0 objects with this patch
```
How does it work?
-----------------
This patch works by using a dynamic stack size when passing forwarded parameters to callees.
The caller's info object (known as the "CI") contains the stack size of the
parameters, so we pass the CI object itself as a parameter to the callee.
When forwarding parameters, the forwarding ISeq uses the caller's CI to determine how much stack to copy, then copies the caller's stack before calling the callee.
The CI at the forwarded call site is adjusted using information from the caller's CI.
I think this description is kind of confusing, so let's walk through an example with code.
```ruby
def delegatee(a, b) = a + b
def delegator(...)
delegatee(...) # CI2 (FORWARDING)
end
def caller
delegator(1, 2) # CI1 (argc: 2)
end
```
Before we call the delegator method, the stack looks like this:
```
Executing Line | Code | Stack
---------------+---------------------------------------+--------
1| def delegatee(a, b) = a + b | self
2| | 1
3| def delegator(...) | 2
4| # |
5| delegatee(...) # CI2 (FORWARDING) |
6| end |
7| |
8| def caller |
-> 9| delegator(1, 2) # CI1 (argc: 2) |
10| end |
```
The ISeq for `delegator` is tagged as "forwardable", so when `caller` calls in
to `delegator`, it writes `CI1` on to the stack as a local variable for the
`delegator` method. The `delegator` method has a special local called `...`
that holds the caller's CI object.
Here is the ISeq disasm fo `delegator`:
```
== disasm: #<ISeq:delegator@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,39)>
local table (size: 1, argc: 0 [opts: 0, rest: -1, post: 0, block: -1, kw: -1@-1, kwrest: -1])
[ 1] "..."@0
0000 putself ( 1)[LiCa]
0001 getlocal_WC_0 "..."@0
0003 send <calldata!mid:delegatee, argc:0, FCALL|FORWARDING>, nil
0006 leave [Re]
```
The local called `...` will contain the caller's CI: CI1.
Here is the stack when we enter `delegator`:
```
Executing Line | Code | Stack
---------------+---------------------------------------+--------
1| def delegatee(a, b) = a + b | self
2| | 1
3| def delegator(...) | 2
-> 4| # | CI1 (argc: 2)
5| delegatee(...) # CI2 (FORWARDING) | cref_or_me
6| end | specval
7| | type
8| def caller |
9| delegator(1, 2) # CI1 (argc: 2) |
10| end |
```
The CI at `delegatee` on line 5 is tagged as "FORWARDING", so it knows to
memcopy the caller's stack before calling `delegatee`. In this case, it will
memcopy self, 1, and 2 to the stack before calling `delegatee`. It knows how much
memory to copy from the caller because `CI1` contains stack size information
(argc: 2).
Before executing the `send` instruction, we push `...` on the stack. The
`send` instruction pops `...`, and because it is tagged with `FORWARDING`, it
knows to memcopy (using the information in the CI it just popped):
```
== disasm: #<ISeq:delegator@-e:1 (1,0)-(1,39)>
local table (size: 1, argc: 0 [opts: 0, rest: -1, post: 0, block: -1, kw: -1@-1, kwrest: -1])
[ 1] "..."@0
0000 putself ( 1)[LiCa]
0001 getlocal_WC_0 "..."@0
0003 send <calldata!mid:delegatee, argc:0, FCALL|FORWARDING>, nil
0006 leave [Re]
```
Instruction 001 puts the caller's CI on the stack. `send` is tagged with
FORWARDING, so it reads the CI and _copies_ the callers stack to this stack:
```
Executing Line | Code | Stack
---------------+---------------------------------------+--------
1| def delegatee(a, b) = a + b | self
2| | 1
3| def delegator(...) | 2
4| # | CI1 (argc: 2)
-> 5| delegatee(...) # CI2 (FORWARDING) | cref_or_me
6| end | specval
7| | type
8| def caller | self
9| delegator(1, 2) # CI1 (argc: 2) | 1
10| end | 2
```
The "FORWARDING" call site combines information from CI1 with CI2 in order
to support passing other values in addition to the `...` value, as well as
perfectly forward splat args, kwargs, etc.
Since we're able to copy the stack from `caller` in to `delegator`'s stack, we
can avoid allocating objects.
I want to do this to eliminate object allocations for delegate methods.
My long term goal is to implement `Class#new` in Ruby and it uses `...`.
I was able to implement `Class#new` in Ruby
[here](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/9289).
If we adopt the technique in this patch, then we can optimize allocating
objects that take keyword parameters for `initialize`.
For example, this code will allocate 2 objects: one for `SomeObject`, and one
for the kwargs:
```ruby
SomeObject.new(foo: 1)
```
If we combine this technique, plus implement `Class#new` in Ruby, then we can
reduce allocations for this common operation.

This patch removes the `VALUE flags` member from the `rb_ast_t` structure making `rb_ast_t` no longer an IMEMO object.
## Background
We are trying to make the Ruby parser generated from parse.y a universal parser that can be used by other implementations such as mruby.
To achieve this, it is necessary to exclude VALUE and IMEMO from parse.y, AST, and NODE.
## Summary (file by file)
- `rubyparser.h`
- Remove the `VALUE flags` member from `rb_ast_t`
- `ruby_parser.c` and `internal/ruby_parser.h`
- Use TypedData_Make_Struct VALUE which wraps `rb_ast_t` `in ast_alloc()` so that GC can manage it
- You can retrieve `rb_ast_t` from the VALUE by `rb_ruby_ast_data_get()`
- Change the return type of `rb_parser_compile_XXXX()` functions from `rb_ast_t *` to `VALUE`
- rb_ruby_ast_new() which internally `calls ast_alloc()` is to create VALUE vast outside ruby_parser.c
- `iseq.c` and `vm_core.h`
- Amend the first parameter of `rb_iseq_new_XXXX()` functions from `rb_ast_body_t *` to `VALUE`
- This keeps the VALUE of AST on the machine stack to prevent being removed by GC
- `ast.c`
- Almost all change is replacement `rb_ast_t *ast` with `VALUE vast` (sorry for the big diff)
- Fix `node_memsize()`
- Now it includes `rb_ast_local_table_link`, `tokens` and script_lines
- `compile.c`, `load.c`, `node.c`, `parse.y`, `proc.c`, `ruby.c`, `template/prelude.c.tmpl`, `vm.c` and `vm_eval.c`
- Follow-up due to the above changes
- `imemo.{c|h}`
- If an object with `imemo_ast` appears, considers it a bug

This `st_table` is used to both mark and pin classes
defined from the C API. But `vm->mark_object_ary` already
does both much more efficiently.
Currently a Ruby process starts with 252 rooted classes,
which uses `7224B` in an `st_table` or `2016B` in an `RArray`.
So a baseline of 5kB saved, but since `mark_object_ary` is
preallocated with `1024` slots but only use `405` of them,
it's a net `7kB` save.
`vm->mark_object_ary` is also being refactored.
Prior to this changes, `mark_object_ary` was a regular `RArray`, but
since this allows for references to be moved, it was marked a second
time from `rb_vm_mark()` to pin these objects.
This has the detrimental effect of marking these references on every
minors even though it's a mostly append only list.
But using a custom TypedData we can save from having to mark
all the references on minor GC runs.
Addtionally, immediate values are now ignored and not appended
to `vm->mark_object_ary` as it's just wasted space.
This frees FL_USER0 on both T_MODULE and T_CLASS.
Note: prior to this, FL_SINGLETON was never set on T_MODULE,
so checking for `FL_SINGLETON` without first checking that
`FL_TYPE` was `T_CLASS` was valid. That's no longer the case.
Rather than exposing that an imemo has a flag and four fields, this
changes the implementation to only expose one field (the klass) and
fills the rest with 0. The type will have to fill in the values themselves.
[Bug #20253]
All the way down to Ruby 1.9, `Proc`, `Method`, `UnboundMethod`
and `Binding` always had their own specific clone and dup routine.
This caused various discrepancies with how other objects behave
on `dup` and `clone. [Bug #20250], [Bug #20253].
This commit get rid of `CLONESETUP` and use the the same codepath
as all other types, so ensure consistency.
NB: It's still not accepting the `freeze` keyword argument on `clone`.

The original order of events is:
1. Allocate new_body.
2. Peform memcpy into new_body.
3. Create new_env using new_body.
However, if GC compaction runs during step 3, then new_env would not
have yet been created and objects on new_body could move but it would
not be reference updated.
This commit changes the order of the last two events.
Previously, Kernel#lambda returned a non-lambda proc when given a
non-literal block and issued a warning under the `:deprecated` category.
With this change, Kernel#lambda will always return a lambda proc, if it
returns without raising.
Due to interactions with block passing optimizations, we previously had
two separate code paths for detecting whether Kernel#lambda got a
literal block. This change allows us to remove one path, the hack done
with rb_control_frame_t::block_code introduced in 85a337f for supporting
situations where Kernel#lambda returned a non-lambda proc.

{Nil,True,False}Class#singleton_methods always returns [] indicating
that there are no singleton methods defined, so #singleton_method
should be consistent with that.
Fixes [Bug #11064]
Closes [Feature #19729]
Previously 2 bits of the flags on each RVALUE are reserved to store the
number of GC cycles that each object has survived. This commit
introduces a new bit array on the heap page, called age_bits, to store
that information instead.
This patch still reserves one of the age bits in the flags (the old
FL_PROMOTED0 bit, now renamed FL_PROMOTED).
This is set to 0 for young objects and 1 for old objects, and is used as
a performance optimisation for the write barrier. Fetching the age_bits
from the heap page and doing the required math to calculate if the
object was old or not would slow down the write barrier. So we keep this
bit synced in the flags for fast access.
Right now the attached object is stored as an instance variable
and all the call sites that either get or set it have to know how it's
stored.
It's preferable to hide this implementation detail behind accessors
so that it is easier to change how it's stored.
This patch is follo-up of 0a82bfe.
Without this patch, if env is escaped (Proc'ed), strange svar
can be touched.
This patch tracks escaped env and use it.
* use correct svar
Without this patch, svar location is used "nearest Ruby frame".
It is almost correct but it doesn't correct when the `each` method
is written in Ruby.
```ruby
class C
include Enumerable
def each
%w(bar baz).each{|e| yield e}
end
end
C.new.grep(/(b.)/){|e| p [$1, e]}
```
This patch fix this issue by traversing ifunc's cfp.
Note that if cfp doesn't specify this Thread's cfp stack, reserved
svar location (`ec->root_svar`) is used.

UnboundMethod records caller's class, like `D` or `E` on the
following case:
```ruby
class C
def foo = :foo
end
class D < C
end
class E < C
end
d = D.instance_method(:foo)
e = E.instance_method(:foo)
```
But `d` and `e` only refers `C#foo` so that UnboundMethod doesn't
record `D` or `E`. This behavior changes the following methods:
* `UnboundMethod#inspect` (doesn't show caller's class)
* `UnboundMethod#==` (`d == e` for example)
