...stuff...


Amusingly, it turned out that the TYPEP consing came from NLX value
cells as well. Rudimentary escape analysis is enough to sort this out.

I already committed the SIGNAL improvements, but would much appreciate
it if someone could find the time to review this one before I commit
it. I keep having the feeling I'm missing something obvious.

Non-loadable patch attached, apply on top of
9bc5da72887b15eb83500e16f05c3e42835476a3 or later.

With that setup, the example above should run without consing.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Sorry for not catching this earlier, but there seem to be build issues on
Windows in this release. The build concludes with some failed contribs
(notably bsd-sockets and posix), but I haven't had time to bisect or track
down the root cause yet.

The complete build log is here:

https://elliottslaughter.com/files/build-sbcl-1.0.57.txt

If I get time, I'll try to look into this more later.

ERROR was actually already smart about this -- it didn't do till it
knew it had to invoke the debugger, which was actually the reason I
ended up doing this change: I wanted to have the hint available when
doing

  (handler-bind ((error #'invoke-debugger))
     ...)

Anyways, I was too optimistic. It's still pretty consy:

- Value cell for the nlx (GO :AGAIN) is heap allocated. Should be safe
to elide for exists from DX lambdas, though, and that one is a DX
lambda...

- SIGNAL conses a lot -- most of it needlessly when *BREAK-ON-SIGNALS*
is NIL. Conditionalizing the RESTART-CASE on that helps.

After those (TYPEP CONDITION (CAR HANDLER)) seems to be the last
source of consing in SIGNAL, aside from the &amp;amp;REST list allocation
which doesn't matter here.

Attached loadable patch does these things. Not non-consing yet, but a
lot better:

scrolling by in my slime window. WTF is FOO? Well, the problem is that FOO is usually in the then-current package and so the package identifier isn't printed out. The following patch causes the package name to be printed in the STYLE-WARNING. Any objections to seeing this in the tree post-freeze?

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;
For me, SBCL warns me when it removes unreachable code.  This usually turns up bugs in my typing or logic or paren-grouping.  I guess I was expecting to see some indication that dead code was removed, too.  If I have dead code, why would I want I there?  And, if I do want it there, I'd like to know if it isn't.

But, maybe I'm being too optimistic.  Maybe everything would be warning me everywhere... like the "else" clause of an IF when expanded from an WHEN macro.

[...]

In both cases, the code depends on undefined behaviour (I can only
imagine that you had functions that simply read variables without
using their value in an attempt to trigger unbound variable
conditions). CL's default level for all optimization levels is 1; for
SBCL, that level means that we don't crash on undefined behaviour, and
instead signal conditions. In these cases, the potential error has
been optimised away: there's no crash to replace with a condition
anymore.

I, and many other users I suppose, would be peeved it SBCL disabled
simple optimisations like dead code elimination just to consistently
signal a condition in the face of undefined behaviour. Optimisations
in SBCL guarantee that you'll get the result and side effects your
code defines, and, when safety isn't 0, conditions instead of random
behaviour if runtime errors would happen. There aren't many potential
optimisations one can perform if they wish to signal exactly the same
conditions as a naïve interpreter.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;
I see what you mean by using the return of the result. I stand corrected.


A while ago I was writing an assembler for an embedded architecture
where common lisp read the opcodes in the form of sexps (as actual common
lisp).  If I used symbols (in the assembler's DSL, but also in the lisp
variable namespace) that weren't defined, I'd handle the unbound-variable
conditions and poke them into a symbol table for later assignment to
addresses when the opcodes were actually assembled. It simplified not
having to write more structure around the opcode list to predefine the
variables or walk over the opcode list try and pick out the symbols that
were variables in the assembly DSL (which was hard). I'm not claiming
that I chose a good way to do that project, but it was a place where I
had to modify SBCL's safety to 3 to get the right behavior.  Up until
then, it didn't even occurr to me that SBCL's safety wasn't already 3.

Later,

If you were to sped up the computation that would imply that you care
about the result. And handler-bind would only slow things down.

(defun does-not-absorb ()
  (let ((ret 'no-error))
    (list (handler-case
              (let ((y 0))
                (/ y))
            (division-by-zero (c) (setf ret c)))
          ret)))

By return the result, the division is not elided and the error is signalled.

I can't even contrive any reasons for this to ever be useful. safety 1
in SBCL is very reasonable, unless your code is contorted.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;
If one were writing a video game where one didn't want to check for a
division by zero to speed up the computation (just handling the condition
in a handler-bind when it happens) that would be a plenty good reason
to want the divide-by-zero condition.

I've often been surprised by the times that SBCL's default safety settings
don't cause certain conditions, like unbound-variable conditions and such,
to be signaled at the appropriate times. I know now to set saftey to 3 to
get safe code, but it was a surprising road to find that out. I figured I
would just get safe code by default.

Thank you.

It doesn't have side-effects, except for the error, which i don't think
anyone would desire. If you want to check everything, run with (safety
3), which is the definition of safe code by CLHS.

So, there's no accounting for the fact that this division might have side-effects?

Yes, this is intended, the compiler elides division operations when
the result is not used, and when safety is not high enough, even if it's
divided by zero. Add (declare (optimize safety )) to get the error.

In looking over the errors generated by a cl-test-grid run, I looked
into the trivial-backtrace test that was failing. [1] I think that
I've uncovered a subtle bug in the SBCL compiler.

    [1] http://cl-test-grid.appspot.com/blob?key=100025

I'm using almost-the-latest SBCL (1.0.55.0-abb03f9-dirty) compiled for
64-bit with threading on MacOSX Lion (10.7.3).

This is the simplest I can seem to get the same problem to arise is
this:

    (defun absorbs ()
      (let ((ret 'no-error))
        (handler-case
            (let ((y 0))
              (/ y))
          (division-by-zero (c) (setf ret c)))
        ret))

When that compiles, it gives no warnings.  When invoked, it returns
NO-ERROR.

This, on the other hand, gives me a warning at compile time and
returns an instance of the division-by-zero error when invoked.

    (defun throws ()
      (let ((ret 'no-error))
        (handler-case
            (let* ((y 0)
                   (z (/ y)))
              z)
          (division-by-zero (c) (setf ret c)))
    &lt;/pre&gt;</description>

Well, it is part of my threading work now. :)

Above is current the work in progress tree -- not much there yet, but
enough to show the basic idea. (Could not find my old tree, so this is
what I've hacked up today -- hence not very far yet, and virtually
untested.)

Cheers,
