Make sorting up to 2x as fast

Following up on a question on StackOverflow:
   stackoverflow.com/questions/664966...es-sorting
it turned out that checking whether an Order enum is not Same, would create a Bool object, which would then be converted to a native int. Research is going on into fixing that (bypassing the Bool object), but ... (13 more lines)

codesections (I think "up to 2× as fast" is underselling the perf gains from ^^^^. I just benchmarked a sort based on the SO question, and saw a 4× speedup) 11:40
lizmat better like that than the other way around :-) 11:42
codesections yep! 11:43

Make some more infix cmp candidates upto 7x as fast

Specifically allomorph cmp, Pair cmp and Complex cmp. This should be quite visible when sorting allomorphs, Pairs or Complex numbers.
12:48
lizmat this should be possible for more cases where cmp is called, but then we have a chicken-egg problem 12:49
in order to be able to check for Order::Same and friends, the code in the setting needs to be *after* the Order enum code
codesections hmmm 70a8e3661f seems to break sorting with custom comparators that don't return an Order.
lizmat but the Order enum code cannot exists without the Enumeration role
codesections
codesections c: 70a8e3661f say (^10).sort({$^a > $^b ?? True !! False}); say (^10).sort({$^a > $^b ?? Order::More !! Order::Less}); 12:50

lizmat well... then they're naughty, as comparators are supposed to return an Order
codesections True. But I bet a lot out there don't (it's not enforced)
lizmat yeah, probably :-(
codesections I can take a look at how we could handle it, though 12:51

lizmat sena_kun: could you do a Blin run to check for any module testing fallout? wrt github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/70a8e3661f 12:53
codesections it also seems like not returning an Order is something we might want to support, though? Eg <D E F a b c>.sort({$^a.fc gt $^b.fc}) 12:57
lizmat don't know... I mean... github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/70a8e3661f didn't break any spectests 12:58
codesections that seems pretty clear from a dwim perspective, and works on current release
true
Looking at Roast, I _think_ the intent is for Bools to work. See github.com/Raku/roast/blob/master/...ort.t#L248 13:20
lizmat yeah, testing some changes :-) 13:23
it will only take the Order checking path if the Callable indicates returning an Order:D in the signature 13:34
otherwise it will take the candidate that coerces to Int (now without first coercing to Bool) 13:35

Take a little bit of different approach on sorting comparators

Instead of checking for Inty return values of the comparator, and Order return values, just check for Order values being returned by the comparator, and make that take the fast nqp::eqaddr path.
Otherwise, use the old generic code path, but instead implicitely ... (6 more lines)
13:42
lizmat codesections: ^^ I think that addresses your points :-) 13:49
codesections thanks, lizmat++ If I'm reading that correctly, only subs with a `--> Order:D` _constraint_ take the ...LIST-WITH-enum path, right? 13:51
lizmat yup
codesections m: sub returns-order() { Order::Less }; say &returns-order.returns
camelia (Mu)
lizmat m: sub returns-order(--> Order:D) { Order::Less }; say &returns-order.returns 13:52
camelia (Order:D)
codesections right. So a lot of inline fns will probably take the ...WITH-int path. Which is fine, just a bit slower 13:53
lizmat yeah... now to make sure all of the builtins have the correct return sig :-)
codesections (inline fns that actually do return an Order, I mean) 13:54
haha, yeah. But this is good -- we're getting to the point where types are speeding things up, not just adding a runtime cost. Which has always been the goal 13:55

Make infix before / after about 40% faster

By moving their definitions until *after* we know about the Order enum and then use the same fast-path approach as with sorting. Also slap the return signature on the proto.

Add --> Order:D to protos of <=> cmp leg unicmp coll

So that using these as comparators with sorting will take the fast path. Also remove any --> Order:D from other candidates of these infixes, as they are not needed there anymore.
This caused the movement of some protos and candidates, as they should now appear *after* the Order enum has been created in the setting.

Make --> Order:D in comparator actually take fast path

Turns out this is now only a few % faster than the "slow" path, but I guess still worth it in some situations.

Fixups around infix unicmp and coll

  - Move protos to Order for clarity
  - Pair comparisons with unicmp and coll now fast-path using Order::Same
  - Add Cool candidate for unicmp, it was missing
  - On JVM, make it throw X::NYI instead of just dying
15:19
lizmat ok, so sorting with &[coll] will spend 25% of its time looking up $*COLLATION :-( 15:21

Make sure nodemap / deepmap pass :INITIALIZE to STORE

This indicates that it is an initialization, which is needed for Maps as these cannot be altered later.
