Don't recompile a dependency if another process did it for us

When a direct dependency of the current compilation unit is outdated by a change of one of the transitive dependencies, after taking the lock for the precomp store, we now check if the dependency became up-to-date while we were waiting for a lock. It may be that another process did the work for us. ... (5 more lines)		 07:20
nine hopes that this makes lizmat happy :)
MasterDuke i wonder if that'll help Xliff, he has some crazy long compile times for some of his very inter-related modules 07:22

timotimo MasterDuke: i think it'll only help if you run the precompilation in parallel, which iiuc wasn't the case so far 11:44
MasterDuke timotimo: oh, this was only a preparatory commit? so that precomp can be made parallelized? 11:46
timotimo welllllllll 11:47
parallelized precomp is a tough problem
but if the dev kicks off multiple precomps at the same time, and each starts at a different point, this commit will make sure no duplicate work happens 11:48

AlexDaniel that should speed up toaster 12:05
even if we don't use it anymore :)
timotimo blin doesn't profit because it makes everything completely seperate anyway? 12:17
AlexDaniel well, it might profit a little bit 12:37
when is the first prepcomp happening?
not during installation, right?
timotimo dunno if zef or rakudo do that 12:38
AlexDaniel so if you get to install two modules at the same time that have the same dependency, then it's potentially one precomp less?
timotimo by module do you mean "a thing that has a META6 file" or "a file"? 12:39
12:44 Ven`` joined
AlexDaniel a thing that has a META6 file 12:46
12:53 chloekek joined
timotimo in that case, yes. but doesn't installing first do that stuff in an isolated location and copies it to the system afterwards? 12:55
13:00 Kaiepi left, Kaiepi joined
AlexDaniel timotimo: I mean, that's the weird thing, yeah. So if you're installing something, then you normally run tests, so of course everything should be precomped, right? But then normally I still have to wait extra on the first run… so either there's something kinda wrong, or I'm misremembering things 13:02
13:03 Kaiepi left, Kaiepi joined
timotimo you mean that from the perspective of an end-user, right? 13:04
AlexDaniel do you know a perspective in which that'd be alright? 13:05
:)
timotimo the perspective of the implementor who has had a little too much torture recently :) 13:06

tellable6 AlexDaniel, I saw jnthn 2019-07-27T23:35:45Z in #moarvm: <jnthn> And I've certainly got no idea what to do about it if it is to blame without having a much closer look

nine Precompilation does happen at installation time. Zef however runs tests first so that will cause compilation, too. My commit does not change anything for installation as that will precompile in any case but only the modules in the diat (dependenciea will already have been compiles) 14:02
If the first run also triggers compilation (and not juat the much faster re-checking of dependencies) there's a bug that needs fixing 14:03
14:04 Ven`` left
timotimo this could have good implications for when you run a test suite where not every file uses all module files 14:04
and you run tests in parallel
nine Zef could get rid of the double compilation btw by way of the staging rwpo but that'd need a differwnt logic for installation. That would have been the better approach from the start though 14:05
Yes, parallel tests is what my commit fixes
timotimo today, will i finally work up the courage to look into why the moar-ha spits out some garbage results with my last test heap dump? 14:07
pamplemousse nine: I was wondering if you knew how/where the manifest file for modules that lists out all of the subcomponents and their locations is generated? 14:10
nine pamplemousse: there's some script in the ecosystem repo 14:14
I think

jdv79 the whole pre-comp while deving is still kinda slow:( 14:35
would it ever be possible, in theory, to not have to recompile all dependents? 14:37
i guess just not needing pre-comp (compile actually being fast) would probably be more valuable though in practice
14:40 chloekek left
pamplemousse nine: Sorry, I phrased that in an unclear way. I was wondering if you know where the files that wind up in /share/perl6/site/dist are generated 14:41
14:49 evalable6 left 14:52 evalable6 joined, ChanServ sets mode: +v evalable6
pamplemousse If I run perl6 -I./lib ./test.p6, it looks likes it creates a .precomp directory in the lib directory that contains the modules used by test.p6. If I run the exact same command a second time, will it execute using that precompiled bytecode? 15:15

bartolin vrurg: do you have an idea, maybe, why stubbing Rakudo::Internals::HyperWorkBatch makes the JVM backend die with a NullPointerException when compiling CORE.d.setting? github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/23cf...ue.pm6#L13 18:57
vrurg: it builds without that line. (moar also seems to build fine without that line -- do you remember the exact reason, why you added it? 18:58
MasterDuke i'm i the only one who is getting consistent fails in t/spec/S07-hyperrace/basics.t? 19:10
oh. ha. forgot i had unfudged a test 19:11
Geth rakudo: aaec2cfe3e | usev6++ | tools/templates/jvm/Makefile.in
Compile CORE.e.setting on the JVM backend, too

Cargo-culted from tools/templates/moar/Makefile.in		 19:12
MasterDuke that's why i got distracted about putting a lock in sprintf

lucasb ^^ In addition to that, also environment variables starting with PERL6_* and installation filesystem paths containing "perl6" 20:55
so there'll be env vars starting with both RAKU_* and RAKUDO_* 20:56
and the class Raku, and package/namespace Rakudo:: 20:57
Maybe the only paths are "install/share/perl6" and ~/.perl6 21:02
