From 38edd9bd8da9d7fc7beeba5fd4fd9d605457b04e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Dempsky Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2022 16:40:56 -0700 Subject: cmd/compile/internal/noder: shape-based stenciling for unified IR This CL switches unified IR to use shape-based stenciling with runtime dictionaries, like the existing non-unified frontend. Specifically, when instantiating generic functions and types `X[T]`, we now also instantiated shaped variants `X[shapify(T)]` that can be shared by `T`'s with common underlying types. For example, for generic function `F`, `F[int](args...)` will be rewritten to `F[go.shape.int](&.dict.F[int], args...)`. For generic type `T` with method `M` and value `t` of type `T[int]`, `t.M(args...)` will be rewritten to `T[go.shape.int].M(t, &.dict.T[int], args...)`. Two notable distinctions from the non-unified frontend: 1. For simplicity, currently shaping is limited to simply converting type arguments to their underlying type. Subsequent CLs will implement more aggressive shaping. 2. For generic types, a single dictionary is generated to be shared by all methods, rather than separate dictionaries for each method. I originally went with this design because I have an idea of changing interface calls to pass the itab pointer via the closure register (which should have zero overhead), and then the interface wrappers for generic methods could use the *runtime.itab to find the runtime dictionary that corresponds to the dynamic type. This would allow emitting fewer method wrappers. However, this choice does have the consequence that currently even if a method is unused and its code is pruned by the linker, it may have produced runtime dictionary entries that need to be kept alive anyway. I'm open to changing this to generate per-method dictionaries, though this would require changing the unified IR export data format; so it would be best to make this decision before Go 1.20. The other option is making the linker smarter about pruning unneeded dictionary entries, like how it already prunes itab entries. For example, the runtime dictionary for `T[int]` could have a `R_DICTTYPE` meta-relocation against symbol `.dicttype.T[go.shape.int]` that declares it's a dictionary associated with that type; and then each method on `T[go.shape.T]` could have `R_DICTUSE` meta-relocations against `.dicttype.T[go.shape.T]+offset` indicating which fields within dictionaries of that type need to be preserved.
