There was probably a misunderstanding somewhere about the with_stack_size being related to how far away it is from the with, but it is about whether there is a with at all. This broke a warning (`UselessInherit`), and may actually have let to more inefficient codegen in some cases.

2023-01-04 r/5581 refactor(tvix/eval): streamline construction of globals/builtinsVincent Ambo2-21/+187
Previously the construction of globals (a compiler-only concept) and builtins (a (now) user-facing API) was intermingled between multiple different modules, and kind of difficult to understand. The complexity of this had grown in large part due to the implementation of `builtins.import`, which required the notorious "knot-tying" trick using Rc::new_cyclic (see cl/7097) for constructing the set of globals. As part of the new `Evaluation` API users should have the ability to bring their own builtins, and control explicitly whether or not impure builtins are available (regardless of whether they're compiled in or not). To streamline the construction and allow the new API features to work, this commit restructures things by making these changes: 1. The `tvix_eval::builtins` module is now only responsible for exporting sets of builtins. It no longer has any knowledge of whether or not certain sets (e.g. only pure, or pure+impure) are enabled, and it has no control over which builtins are globally available (this is now handled in the compiler). 2. The compiler module is now responsible for both constructing the final attribute set of builtins from the set of builtins supplied by a user, as well as for populating its globals (that is identifiers which are available at the top-level scope). 3. The `Evaluation` API now carries a `builtins` field which is populated with the pure builtins by default, and can be extended by users. 4. The `import` feature has been moved into the compiler, as a special case. In general, builtins no longer have the ability to reference the "fix point" of the globals set. This should not change any functionality, and in fact preserves minor differences between Tvix/Nix that we already had (such as `builtins.builtins` not existing).

2022-12-21 r/5457 refactor(tvix/eval): add a LightSpan type for lighter span trackingVincent Ambo1-1/+2
This type carries the information required for calculating a span (i.e. the chunk and offset), instead of the span itself. The span is then only calculated in cases where it is required (when throwing errors). This reduces the eval time for `builtins.length (builtins.attrNames (import <nixpkgs> {}))` by *one third*! The data structure in chunks that carries span information reduces in-memory size by trading off the speed of retrieving span information. This is because the span information is only actually required when throwing errors (or emitting warnings). However, somewhere along the way we grew a dependency on carrying span information in thunks (for correctly reporting error chains). Hitting the code paths for span retrieval was expensive, and carrying the spans in a different way would still be less cache-efficient. This change is the best tradeoff I could come up with.

2022-12-21 r/5454 refactor(tvix/eval): add name-based index over compiler's localsVincent Ambo2-34/+108
Instead of finding locals by doing 2x O(n) walks over the compiler's locals list, use a secondary name-based index for resolving locals by name. Previously, almost 60% (!!) of eval time on some expressions over nixpkgs was spent in `Local::has_name`. This function doesn't even exist anymore now, and eval speed about doubles as a result. Note that this doesn't exactly make the locals code easier to read, but I'm also not sure what we can simplify in there in general. This fixes b/227.

2022-10-27 r/5213 feat(tvix/eval): builtins.import without RefCellAdam Joseph1-45/+51
CL/6867 added support for builtins.import, which required a cyclic reference import->globals->builtins->import. This was implemented using a RefCell, which makes it possible to mutate the builtins during evaluation. The commit message for CL/6867 expressed a desire to eliminate this possibility: This opens up a potentially dangerous footgun in which we could mutate the builtins at runtime leading to different compiler invocations seeing different builtins, so it'd be nice to have some kind of "finalised" status for them or some such, but I'm not sure how to represent that atm. This CL replaces the RefCell with Rc::new_cyclic(), making the globals/builtins immutable once again. At VM runtime (once opcodes start executing) everything is the same as before this CL, except that the Rc<RefCell<>> introduced by CL/6867 is turned into an rc::Weak<>. The function passed to Rc::new_cyclic works very similarly to overlays in nixpkgs: a function takes its own result as an argument. However instead of laziness "breaking the cycle", Rust's Rc::new_cyclic() instead uses an rc::Weak. This is done to prevent memory leaks rather than divergence. This CL also resolves the following TODO from CL/6867: // TODO: encapsulate this import weirdness in builtins The main disadvantage of this CL is the fact that the VM now must ensure that it holds a strong reference to the globals while a program is executing; failure to do so will cause a panic when the weak reference in the builtins is upgrade()d. In theory it should be possible to create strong reference cycles the same way Rc::new_cyclic() creates weak cycles, but these cycles would cause a permanent memory leak -- without either an rc::Weak or RefCell there is no way to break the cycle. At some point we will have to implement some form of cycle collection; whatever library we choose for that purpose is likely to provide an "immutable strong reference cycle" primitive similar to Rc::new_cyclic(), and we should be able to simply drop it in.

When compiling a lambda, take the name of the outer slot (if available) and store it as the name on the lambda. These names are then shown in the observer, and nowhere else (so far). It is of course common for these things to thread through many different context levels (e.g. `f = a: b: c: ...`), in this setup only the outermost closure or thunk gains the name, but it's better than nothing.

2022-10-19 r/5159 feat(tvix/eval): deduplicate overlap between Closure and ThunkAdam Joseph2-4/+36
This commit deduplicates the Thunk-like functionality from Closure and unifies it with Thunk. Specifically, we now have one and only one way of breaking reference cycles in the Value-graph: Thunk. No other variant contains a RefCell. This should make it easier to reason about the behavior of the VM. InnerClosure and UpvaluesCarrier are no longer necessary. This refactoring allowed an improvement in code generation: `Rc<RefCell<>>`s are now created only for closures which do not have self-references or deferred upvalues, instead of for all closures. OpClosure has been split into two separate opcodes: - OpClosure creates non-recursive closures with no deferred upvalues. The VM will not create an `Rc<RefCell<>>` when executing this instruction. - OpThunkClosure is used for closures with self-references or deferred upvalues. The VM will create a Thunk when executing this opcode, but the Thunk will start out already in the `ThunkRepr::Evaluated` state, rather than in the `ThunkRepr::Suspeneded` state. To avoid confusion, OpThunk has been renamed OpThunkSuspended. Thanks to @sterni for suggesting that all this could be done without adding an additional variant to ThunkRepr. This does however mean that there will be mutating accesses to `ThunkRepr::Evaluated`, which was not previously the case. The field `is_finalised:bool` has been added to `Closure` to ensure that these mutating accesses are performed only on finalised Closures. Both the check and the field are present only if `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]`.

Home relative paths depend on the environment to be resolved. We have elected to do everything that depends on the environment, e.g. resolving SPATH expressions using NIX_PATH, at runtime, so tvix evaluation would continue to behave correctly even if we separated the compilation and execution phases more, e.g. via serializing bytecode. Then the value of HOME, NIX_PATH etc. could reasonably change in the time until execution, yielding wrong results if the resolution results were cached in the bytecode. We also take the opportunity to fix the broken path concatenation previously found in the compiler, fixing b/205. Another thing we could consider is emitting a warning for home relative path literals, as they are by nature relatively fragile. One sideeffect of this change is that home path resolution errors become catchable which is not the case in C++ Nix. This will need to be fixed up in a subsequent change.

If OpFindFile sees a non-UnresolvedPath value, it'll crash.

2022-10-10 r/5087 feat(tvix/eval): Initial resolution of `<...>` pathsGriffin Smith1-6/+17
This commit implements (lazy) resolution of `<...>` paths via either the NIX_PATH environment variable, or the -I command-line flag - both handled via EvalOptions. As a result, EvalOptions can no longer derive Copy, meaning we have to clone it at each line of the repl - this is probably not a huge deal as repl performance is not exactly an inner loop and we're not cloning very much. Internally, this works by creating a thunk which pushes a constant containing the string inside the brackets to the stack, then a new opcode to resolve that path via the `NixPath`. To get that opcode to work, we now have to pass in the NixPath when constructing the VM. This (intentionally) leaves out proper implementation of path resolution via `findFile` (cppnix just calls whatever identifier called findFile is in scope!!!) as that's widely considered a bit of a misfeature, but if we do decide to implement that down the road it likely wouldn't be more than a few extra ops within the thunk introduced here.

In order to behave nicely with tryEval, asserts need to leave the instruction pointer in a reasonable place even if they fail - whereas with the previous implementation catching a failed assert would still end up running the op for the *body* of the assert. With this change, we compile asserts much more like an `if` expression with conditional jumps rather than having an OpAssert op.

2022-10-07 r/5048 feat(tvix/eval): insert `import` into the builtins itselfVincent Ambo1-5/+9
Adding `import` to builtins causes causes a bootstrap cycle because the `import` builtin needs to be initialised with the set of globals before being inserted into the globals, which also must contain itself. To break out of the cycle this hack wraps the builtins passed to the compiler in an `Rc` (probably sensible anyways, as they will end up getting cloned a bunch), containing a RefCell which gives us mutable access to the builtins. This opens up a potentially dangerous footgun in which we could mutate the builtins at runtime leading to different compiler invocations seeing different builtins, so it'd be nice to have some kind of "finalised" status for them or some such, but I'm not sure how to represent that atm.

2022-09-30 r/5002 feat(tvix/eval): implement nested keysVincent Ambo1-29/+60
This finishes up the implementation of nested keys after the key insight that the nesting level does not need to be tracked, and instead the attribute iterator can simply be retained inside the structures as is (in an advanced state). With this implementation, when encountering a nested key, the Tvix compiler will first analyse whether there is already a matching binding that can be merged (i.e. a binding that is a literal attribute set), and perform the merge, or otherwise create a new recursive set of bindings in which the entry is inserted with the path iterator advanced beyond the first name component. With this, all the logic simply applies recursively until there are no more nested bindings (i.e. until all iterators are "empty"). Note that this has one (potentially insignificant) deviation from Nix currently: If a non-mergable value is supplied (e.g. `a.b = 1; a = 2;`), Tvix will emit a *runtime* error (whereas it is *parse* time in Nix) as the branch which could statically analyse this is currently unreachable. There's a TODO for this, so we can fix it up later.

This adds the scaffolding required for tracking the nesting level (and appropriately skipping the correct amount of attrpath entries when inserting nested sets). In order for all of this to work correctly, we can no longer track `AttrpathValue` directly in the entries vector as rnix does not allow us to construct values of that type - so instead we have to track its inner components.

2022-09-29 r/4995 feat(tvix/eval): add scaffolding for merging nested attribute setsVincent Ambo1-25/+101
This sets up the required logic for finding and merging attribute sets into nested bindings if they exist. This is absolutely not complete yet and can, at this commit, probably cause undefined runtime behaviour if nested attributes are specified. The basic idea is that a new helper function on the `TrackedBindings` struct is called with each encountered attribute and determines whether the new entry can be merged into an existing attribute or not. Right now the only effect this has in practice is that a new error becomes available if somebody attempts to cause a merge into an inherited key.
