lizmat jnthn: nowadays, is there a reason not to have infix:<~> *always* return a native str ? 09:13
09:14 FROGGS left
lizmat since we have a str ~ str candidate that is inlined, it would seem to me it makes sense for strings with a lot of things interpolated 09:18
jnthn Str ~ Str will be inlined by spesh also, surely. 09:22
lizmat yeah, but that will still create a new Str object for each ~ 09:25
right ? 09:26
jnthn That'd still be the case if you just change the return type :)
lizmat it does do a nqp::p6box_s on return
jnthn But actually spesh is in the middle of learning how to spot box/unbox pairs and eliminate the boxing where that's all that happens.
lizmat FWIW, always return str for the infix ~ candidates spectests clean 09:27
jnthn Yeah, but it's wrong
Design wise
lizmat not sure I follow 09:28
you mean, people would need to be able to override infix:<~> ? 09:29
jnthn We consistently have the return types of operators taking boxed inputs as giving boxed outputs. Introducing a discontinuity just because it might be a win that we'll have out of more general optimizations anyway seems odd. 09:30
lizmat the reason I'm looking into this, is trying to optimize nested infix:<~> calls (which are the result of interpolation) and try to turn them into a nqp::join on a list_s 09:31
that should speed up a common case very much 09:32
then I realized that maybe I didn't have to do that, if infix:<~> would always return str rather than Str:D
jnthn No, because str is still immutable, so you'd still have a lot of the costs that join might save 09:33
lizmat BTW, inspired by the cause of one of the speed increases of Perl 5.28: optimizing multiple concats into a specific op
I fugured we wouldn't need the specific op
jnthn I thought the original idea for doing this was making infix:<~> list associative, but I think doing so introduced other issues 09:34
lizmat well, there *is* a candidate for it, which takes a slurpy
which is a big slowdown, I think 09:35
but I don't get your point about immutability of str
I mean, under the hood in the end it all turns into nqp::concat 09:36
so why would we knowingly do all of the boxing ?
I understand your general point: this is about only infix:<~>
jnthn The boxing doesn't matter much in that we'll soon be able to optimize it out anyway 09:37
Of course, there's no reason we can't for now do this by using nqp::concat ops on the pieces and then boxing the final thing 09:38
(After checking we have the CORE.setting version of infix:<~> in scope) 09:39
lizmat yeah, obviously :-)
jnthn But if doing such a transformation anyway, it might be better to go straight for turning it into an nqp::join
lizmat actually, that was my plan 09:40
push to an nqp::list_s, and then join and box at the end
jnthn Because nqp::join can assemble a single result buffer and copy all the pieces in to it
09:40 brrt joined
jnthn But nqp::concat even on native things can't do that 09:40
lizmat ok, so this is the plan then: 09:41
1. drop the idea of infix:<~> returning str always
09:41 p6bannerbot sets mode: +v brrt
lizmat 2. look into optimizing nested nqp::concats of significant depth into nqp::push_s on a list_s with an nqp::join at the end 09:42
with the core infix:<~> in scope

09:51 travis-ci left 10:01 pmurias joined, p6bannerbot sets mode: +v pmurias
lizmat jnthn: is there a reason that " $a" gets codegenned as "infix:<~>( " ", $a.Stringy )" instead of having MMD take care of stringification? 10:03
or is that some leftover from before MMD was fully functional ? 10:04
jnthn To make it easier for you to turn it into a join without having to worry about things MMD would take care of? :D
lizmat he
jnthn It's probably faster this way, though 10:05
lizmat but seriously, why ?
jnthn Oh, also
We had a fun bug once
my $i = 42; say "$i".WHAT # returned Int :P
evalable6 (Str)
jnthn I think the current factoring meant that bug just wouldn't happen by design. I suspect it's faster to do it this way because it avoids a redispatch and the callsite to .Stringy is potentially monomorphic rather than being a polymorphic one burried in the general coercing infix:<~> candidate. 10:07
lizmat well, I was thinking of adding Cool:D candidates that would directly call .Str
because that's also a common case
the path through Stringy nowadays typically takes 10% 10:08
for Cools
jnthn Measured through --profile, or timings? 10:09
(The profiler distorts very small inlines, thus the question)

Optimize interpolation

Before, all interpolation was codegenned with a call to "Stringy". This has several disadvantages:
  - it created a more opcodes (this patch makes core setting 25K smaller)
  - it wouldn't allow for better optimized infix:<~> candidates
  - it didn't allow custom infix:<~> to be seen (as all became Str)

rakudo: 9a5c538fa2 | (Jonathan Worthington)++ | src/Perl6/World.nqp
Ensure Scalar type objects compiles to QAST::WVal

It previously would compile into a `getlex`. Amusingly enough, spesh did try and make the best of a bad situation by sticking in a guard so things like `nqp::create(Scalar)` and attribute lookups using `Scalar` would be lowered anyway, which is cute, but still wasteful.

Tune up Array.ASSIGN-POS

This gets the code size to be quite significantly smaller. It's not quite at the point where it will inline yet, but a great deal closer. There's still some suboptimality in the code produced after specialization, so this will need more attention. Even with these outstanding tasks, this is still a quite measurable speedup.		 18:14

lizmat jnthn: from c60a347f615400b41b6d I gather that nowadays we don't want to do 2 getattrs, but preferably do a single one, bind to that and use the alias? 18:45

jnthn lizmat: Yes. Sigilless vars (provided not closed over) just become a VM register and the "assignment" into them a `set` instruction 19:57
lizmat: Then the references to it are immediate (e.g. no lookup instruction)
lizmat ok, I think I know a few other places then that could use that change :-)
jnthn lizmat: Further to that, each getattr means a guard, and it's better to have less of those :) 19:58
lizmat gotcha
it used to be that having extra locals would be overhead
I guess that's no longer the case then :)
jnthn Well, it also used to be they were *not* locals, they were lexicals :) 20:00
lizmat ah, that... ok 20:01
argh, I just found out that sprintf/fmt use a grammar under the hood
which makes them really slow :-(
jnthn Well, it's fast if you keep a hash mapping format string into code that does the job, but yeah, if you parse it every time... :) 20:02
lizmat how would you keep that ? 20:03
diakopter sprintf/fmt used to be non-grammar based :o
lizmat jnthn: how can you *not* parse that every time ?

lizmat ok, so you're suggesting I implement that in the core? Is that what you're saying ? 20:19
jnthn Well, it's probably an amount of work, but yes, it's probably the right direction to go 20:21
If we're parsing the string with a grammar every time, that ain't going to be so fast... 20:22
