2023-03-13 r/5967 refactor(tvix/eval): simplify NixString representation(s)Vincent Ambo1-2/+2
Instead of the two different representations (which we don't really use much), use a `Box<str>` (which potentially shaves another 8 bytes off `Value`). NixString values themselves are immutable anyways (which was a guarantee we already had with `SmolStr`), so this doesn't change anything else.

2023-03-13 r/5964 refactor(tvix/eval): flatten call stack of VM using generatorsVincent Ambo1-52/+0
Warning: This is probably the biggest refactor in tvix-eval history, so far. This replaces all instances of trampolines and recursion during evaluation of the VM loop with generators. A generator is an asynchronous function that can be suspended to yield a message (in our case, vm::generators::GeneratorRequest) and receive a response (vm::generators::GeneratorResponsee). The `genawaiter` crate provides an interpreter for generators that can drive their execution and lets us move control flow between the VM and suspended generators. To do this, massive changes have occured basically everywhere in the code. On a high-level: 1. The VM is now organised around a frame stack. A frame is either a call frame (execution of Tvix bytecode) or a generator frame (a running or suspended generator). The VM has an outer loop that pops a frame off the frame stack, and then enters an inner loop either driving the execution of the bytecode or the execution of a generator. Both types of frames have several branches that can result in the frame re-enqueuing itself, and enqueuing some other work (in the form of a different frame) on top of itself. The VM will eventually resume the frame when everything "above" it has been suspended. In this way, the VM's new frame stack takes over much of the work that was previously achieved by recursion. 2. All methods previously taking a VM have been refactored into async functions that instead emit/receive generator messages for communication with the VM. Notably, this includes *all* builtins. This has had some other effects: - Some test have been removed or commented out, either because they tested code that was mostly already dead (nix_eq) or because they now require generator scaffolding which we do not have in place for tests (yet). - Because generator functions are technically async (though no async IO is involved), we lose the ability to use much of the Rust standard library e.g. in builtins. This has led to many algorithms being unrolled into iterative versions instead of iterator combinations, and things like sorting had to be implemented from scratch. - Many call sites that previously saw a `Result<..., ErrorKind>` bubble up now only see the result value, as the error handling is encapsulated within the generator loop. This reduces number of places inside of builtin implementations where error context can be attached to calls that can fail. Currently what we gain in this tradeoff is significantly more detailed span information (which we still need to bubble up, this commit does not change the error display). We'll need to do some analysis later of how useful the errors turn out to be and potentially introduce some methods for attaching context to a generator frame again. This change is very difficult to do in stages, as it is very much an "all or nothing" change that affects huge parts of the codebase. I've tried to isolate changes that can be isolated into the parent CLs of this one, but this change is still quite difficult to wrap one's mind and I'm available to discuss it and explain things to any reviewer. Fixes: b/238, b/237, b/251 and potentially others.

2023-01-20 r/5715 refactor(tvix/eval): keep globals alive through VM structVincent Ambo1-3/+18
This forces users to pass the fully constructed set of globals to the VM, making it harder to accidentally "lose" the set while weak references to it still exist. This doesn't modify any functionality, but is laying the foundation for simplifying some of the builtins behaviour that has grown more complex again.

2022-12-29 r/5541 refactor(tvix/eval): persistent, memory-sharing OrdMap for NixAttrsVincent Ambo1-1/+1
This uses the `im::OrdMap` for `NixAttrs` to enable sharing of memory between different iterations of a map. This slightly speeds up eval, but not significantly. Future work might include benchmarking whether using a `HashMap` and only ordering in cases where order is actually required would help. This switches to a fork of `im` that fixes some bugs with its OrdMap implementation.

2022-11-04 r/5236 fix(tvix/eval): remove impl PartialEq for ValueAdam Joseph1-14/+21
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.

2022-10-10 r/5087 feat(tvix/eval): Initial resolution of `<...>` pathsGriffin Smith1-3/+3
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.

2022-09-18 r/4908 refactor(tvix/eval): Don't (ab)use PartialEq for Nix equalityGriffin Smith1-9/+21
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>
