2022-11-04 r/5236 fix(tvix/eval): remove impl PartialEq for ValueAdam Joseph1-1/+1
It isn't possible to implement PartialEq properly for Value, because any sensible implementation needs to force() thunks, which cannot be done without a `&mut VM`. The existing derive(PartialEq) has false negatives, which caused the bug which cl/7142 fixed. Fortunately that bug was easy to find, but a silent false negative deep within the bowels of nixpkgs could be a real nightmare to hunt down. Let's just remove the PartialEq impl for Value, and the other derive(PartialEq)'s that depend on it.

2022-10-19 r/5159 feat(tvix/eval): deduplicate overlap between Closure and ThunkAdam Joseph1-30/+11
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)]`.

2022-10-18 r/5157 docs(tvix/eval): upvalues.rs: define "upvalue", comment with_stackAdam Joseph1-9/+30
This commit adds a comment for the benefit of non-Lua-users explaining what an upvalue is. It also adds a comment explaining what `with_stack` does, including a brief reminder of nix's slightly-unusual-but-well-justified handling of this construct.

2022-09-18 r/4908 refactor(tvix/eval): Don't (ab)use PartialEq for Nix equalityGriffin Smith1-1/+1
Using rust's PartialEq trait to implement Nix equality semantics is reasonably fraught with peril, both because the actual laws are different than what nix expects, and (more importantly) because certain things actually require extra context to compare for equality (for example, thunks need to be forced). This converts the manual PartialEq impl for Value (and all its descendants) to a *derived* PartialEq impl (which requires a lot of extra PartialEq derives on miscellanious other types within the codebase), and converts the previous nix-semantics equality comparison into a new `nix_eq` method. This returns an EvalResult, even though it can't currently return an error, to allow it to fail when eg forcing thunks (which it will do soon). Since the PartialEq impls for Value and NixAttrs are now quite boring, this converts the generated proptests for those into handwritten ones that cover `nix_eq` instead Change-Id: If3da7171f88c22eda5b7a60030d8b00c3b76f672 Reviewed-on: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/6650 Autosubmit: grfn <grfn@gws.fyi> Tested-by: BuildkiteCI Reviewed-by: tazjin <tazjin@tvl.su>
2022-09-11 r/4801 refactor(tvix/eval): capture entire with_stack in upvaluesVincent Ambo1-0/+18
This completely rewrites the handling of "dynamic upvalues" to, instead of resolving them at thunk/closure instantiation time (which forces some values too early), capture the entire with stack of parent contexts if it exists. There are a couple of things in here that could be written more efficiently, but I'm first working through this to get to a bug related to with + recursion and the code complexity of some of the optimisations is distracting.

2022-09-11 r/4800 refactor(tvix/eval): introduce Upvalues struct in closures & thunksVincent Ambo1-10/+37
This struct will be responsible for tracking upvalues (and is a convenient place to introduce optimisations for reducing value clones) instead of a plain value vector. The main motivation for this is that the upvalues will have to capture the `with`-stack fully and I want to avoid duplicating the logic for this between the two capturing types.

2022-09-06 r/4677 refactor(tvix/eval): introduce UpvalueCarrier traitVincent Ambo1-0/+39
This trait abstracts over the commonalities of upvalue handling between closures and thunks. It allows the VM to simplify the code used for setting up upvalues, without duplicating between the two different types. Note that this does not yet refactor the VM code to optimally make use of this.
