2024-02-21 r/7591 feat(tvix/eval): Store string context alongside dataAspen Smith1-1/+1
Previously, Nix strings were represented as a Box (within Value) pointing to a tuple of an optional context, and another Box pointing to the actual string allocation itself. This is pretty inefficient, both in terms of memory usage (we use 48 whole bytes for a None context!) and in terms of the extra indirection required to get at the actual data. It was necessary, however, because with native Rust DSTs if we had something like `struct NixString(Option<NixContext>, BStr)` we could only pass around *fat* pointers to that value (with the length in the pointer) and that'd make Value need to be bigger (which is a waste of both memory and cache space, since that memory would be unused for all other Values). Instead, this commit implements *manual* allocation of a packed string representation, with the length *in the allocation* as a field past the context. This requires a big old pile of unsafe Rust, but the payoff is clear: hello outpath time: [882.18 ms 897.16 ms 911.23 ms] change: [-15.143% -13.819% -12.500%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05) Performance has improved. Fortunately this change can be localized entirely within value/string.rs, since we were abstracting things out nicely.

2024-02-13 r/7507 revert(tvix/eval): Don't double-box Path valuesAspen Smith1-2/+2
This reverts commit d3d41552cf1f6485f8ebc597a2128a0d15b030a5. This was well-intentioned, but now the boxed Path values are actually the *largest* Value enum variants, at 16 bytes (because they're fat-pointers, with a len) instead of 8 bytes like all the other values. Having the double reference is a reasonable price to pay (it seems; more benchmarks may end up disagreeing) for a smaller Value repr.

2024-02-02 r/7467 refactor(tvix/eval): Box Value::StringAspen Smith1-1/+1
NixString is *quite* large - like 80 bytes - because of the extra capacity value for BString and because of the context. We want to keep Value small since we're passing it around a lot, so let's box the NixString inside Value::String to save on some memory, and make cloning ostensibly a little cheaper Change-Id: I343c8b4e7f61dc3dcbbaba4382efb3b3e5bbabb2 Reviewed-on: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/10729 Tested-by: BuildkiteCI Reviewed-by: sterni <sternenseemann@systemli.org>
2024-02-01 r/7461 refactor(tvix/eval): Don't double-box Path valuesAspen Smith1-2/+2
PathBuf internally contains a heap pointer (an OsString), so we were in effect double-boxing here. Removing the extra layer by making Tvix::Value represented by a Box<Path> rather than a Box<PathBuf> saves us an indirection, while still avoiding the extra memory overhead of the capacity which was the reason we were boxing PathBuf in the first place.

2023-01-17 r/5670 refactor(tvix/value): use proptest strategies from imbl crateVincent Ambo1-9/+37
Instead of going through Vec/BTreeMap for generating our internal types, use the proptest strategies from imbl. The one thing I couldn't figure out in the previous implementation is where the ranges/sizes of generated collections came from. The strategies in proptest use different types (Range, with an unknown default value, and SizeRange with 0..100). I've opted to specify 0..100 directly, but we can probably make it configurable.

2022-09-18 r/4902 test(tvix/eval): impl Arbitrary for ValueGriffin Smith1-0/+78
Impl Arbitrary for Value (and NixAttrs and NixList) in the same way we did for NixString. Value currently only generates non-"internal" values (no thunks, AttrNotFound, etc.) and can't generate functions (builtins or closures), because those'd require full generation of tvix bytecode, which is a bit more work than I'd like to do now - there's a `todo!` left in the code for a place where we could allow opting-in to internal values and functions later.
