which clearly seems to be written for Ruby 3.1 YJIT that was not
rewritten in Rust yet. Since it has been left there as is, I don't think
anybody is actively using this script. We could add a new one if we need
it again.
`__FILE__` was managed by `NODE_STR` with `String` object.
This commit introduces `NODE_FILE` and `struct rb_parser_string` so that
1. `__FILE__` is detectable from AST Node
2. Reduce dependency ruby object
* YJIT: implement call fuzzer script
Attempt to detect bugs in YJIT call implementation.
* Add basic checks for rest, kwrest. Impprove formatting.
* Refactor call fuzzer to make it more powerful and maintainable
Compute checksum of arguments
* Fix checksum computation. Add useless locals as sussged by Alan.
* Add some useless if statements
* Add arguments of different types
* Pass object arguments as well. Force different shapes.
* Compute fuzzing time/speed
* Make use of block param
They are needed very often but it's hard to remember. I thought it'd be
useful to just copy that to /.vscode and edit that.
Usage:
cp -r misc/.vscode .vscode
Don't symlink it because you'd edit it but not want to commit it.
When we copy instance variables, it is possible for the GC to be kicked
off. The GC looks at the shape to determine what slots to mark inside
the object. If the shape is set too soon, the GC could think that there
are more instance variables on the object than there actually are at
that moment.
Object Shapes is used for accessing instance variables and representing the
"frozenness" of objects. Object instances have a "shape" and the shape
represents some attributes of the object (currently which instance variables are
set and the "frozenness"). Shapes form a tree data structure, and when a new
instance variable is set on an object, that object "transitions" to a new shape
in the shape tree. Each shape has an ID that is used for caching. The shape
structure is independent of class, so objects of different types can have the
same shape.
For example:
```ruby
class Foo
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
class Bar
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
foo = Foo.new # `foo` has shape id 2
bar = Bar.new # `bar` has shape id 2
```
Both `foo` and `bar` instances have the same shape because they both set
instance variables of the same name in the same order.
This technique can help to improve inline cache hits as well as generate more
efficient machine code in JIT compilers.
This commit also adds some methods for debugging shapes on objects. See
`RubyVM::Shape` for more details.
