We need to reconstruct interpreter state before calling into the
routines to be able to raise exceptions. I'm getting a crash in
debug build with:
make test-all 'TESTS=test/ruby/variable.rb' RUN_OPTS='--yjit-call-threshold=1 --yjit-max-versions=1'
The old heap object check is not as efficient as the one in
jit_guard_known_klass(). Also, the old code saves cfp->sp after popping
the operands off the stack, which might cause the operands to be not
marked by the GC in some circumstances.
When calling "to_s" on an instance of String, the method simply returns
self. In this situation most of the work comes from setting up the
method call. It turns out that both railsbench and liquid-render do this
a lot.
When generating code for opt_send_without_block, we already generate a
known class guard, so we can detect when the receiver is a String
instance. Since gen_send_cfunc() is also used for gen_invokesuper(), and
gen_invokesuper() doesn't generate a known class guard, a new nullable
parameter for specialized codegen function is added.
Closes GH-245
Before this change, when we encounter a constant cache that is specific
to a lexical scope, we unconditionally exit. This change falls back to
the interpreter's cache in this situation.
This should help constant expressions in `class << self`, which is popular
at Shopify due to the style guide.
This change relies on the cache being warm while compiling to detect the
need for checking the lexical scope for simplicity.
YJIT expects the VM to invalidate opt_getinlinecache when updating the
constant cache, and the invalidation used to happen even when YJIT can't
use the cached value.
Once the first invalidation happens, the block for opt_getinlinecache
becomes a stub. When the stub is hit, YJIT fails to compile the
instruction as the cache is not usable. The stub becomes a block that
exits for opt_getinlinecache which can be invalidated again. Some
workloads that bust the interpreter's constant cache can create an
invalidation loop with this behavior.
Check if the cache is usable become doing invalidation to fix this
problem.
In the test harness, evaluate the test script in a lambda instead of a
proc so `return` doesn't return out of the harness.
