2023-07-11 r/6405 docs(tvix): document when pointer equality is preserved in C++ Nixsterni4-5/+39
This explicitly documents behavior of C++ Nix that goes against the intuition you'd gather from this document: that e.g. a simple select from an attribute set causes a value to no longer be pointer equal to its former self. The point of documenting this is that we can show in a to be written section on the use of pointer equality in nixpkgs that pointer equality is only needed in a limited sense for evaluating it (C++ Nix's exterior pointer equality). Tvix's pointer equality is far more powerful since value identity preserving operations also preserve pointer equality, generally speaking (this is because we implement interior pointer equality in my made up terminology). This should eventually also be documented.

2023-07-11 r/6404 fix(tvix/eval): use byte, not codepoint index for slicing in escapesterni3-1/+12
This fixes a subtle issue which would occasionally lead to a crash (e.g. when evaluating (pkgs.systemd.outPath with --trace-runtime): With each character in the string that has a multi byte representation in UTF-8, the actual byte position and what tvix thought it was would get out of sync. This could either lead to * Tvix swallowing characters or jumbling characters if multi byte characters would cause the tracked index to become out of sync with the byte position before the first character to be escaped, or * Tvix crashing if (in the same situation) the out of sync index would be within a UTF-8 byte sequence. Luckily, std's `char_indices()` iterator implements exactly what `nix_escape_char()`'s original author had in mind with `.chars().enumerate()`. Using `i + 1` for continuing is safe, since all characters that need (in fact, can) to be escaped in Nix are represented as a single byte in UTF-8.

2023-06-21 r/6341 fix(tvix/eval): use realpaths for import cachesterni8-3/+51
I've noticed this behavior when writing the admittedly cursed test case included in this CL. Alternatively we could use some sort of machinery using `builtins.trace`, but I don't think we capture stderr anywhere. I've elected to put this into the eval cache itself while C++ Nix does it in builtins.import already, namely via `realisePath`. We don't have an equivalent for this yet, since we don't support any kind of IfD, but we could revise that later. In any case, it seems good to encapsulate `ImportCache` in this way, as it'll also allow using file hashes as identifiers, for example. C++ Nix also does our equivalent of canon_path in `builtins.import` which we still don't, but I suspect it hardly makes a difference.

2023-06-20 r/6336 fix(tvix/eval): only finalise formal arguments if defaultingsterni8-52/+221
When dealing with a formal argument in a function argument pattern that has a default expression, there are two different things that can happen at runtime: Either we select its value from the passed attribute successfully or we need to use the default expression. Both of these may be thunks and both of these may need finalisers. However, in the former case this is taken care of elsewhere, the value will always be finalised already if necessary. In the latter case we may need to finalise the thunk resulting from the default expression. However, the thunk corresponding to the expression may never end up in the local's stack slot. Since finalisation goes by stack slot (and not constants), we need to prevent a case where we don't fall back to the default expression, but finalise anyways. Previously, we worked around this by making `OpFinalise` ignore non-thunks. Since finalisation of already evaluated thunks still crashed, the faulty compilation of function pattern arguments could still cause a crash. As a new approach, we reinstate the old behavior of `OpFinalise` to crash whenever encountering something that is either not a thunk or doesn't need finalisation. This can also help catching (similar) miscompilations in the future. To then prevent the crash, we need to track whether we have fallen back or not at runtime. This is done using an additional phantom on the stack that holds a new `FinaliseRequest` value. When it comes to finalisation we check this value and conditionally execute `OpFinalise` based on its value. Resolves b/261 and b/265 (partially).

2023-06-15 r/6308 fix(tvix/eval): make tvix display values like nix-instantiate(1)sterni8-3/+59
In order for the test suite we have currently to be comparable to C++ Nix, we need to display values in the same way. This was largely the case except in some weird cases. * <CODE> for thunks and <CYCLE> for repeated thunks (?) are already in use. <CODE> formatting is tested by the oracle test suite already. * Instead of lambda, we need to use <LAMBDA> * <<primop>> and <<primop-app>> (a formatting C++ Nix uses nowhere) now are <PRIMOP> and <PRIMOP-APP>. We'll probably want to have a fancier display of values (in a separate trait) down the line. This could be used for interactive usage, e.g. the REPL or a potential debugger. There is a peculiarity with C++ Nix 2.3 formatting primops: import is considered a <<PRIMOP-APP>>, since it is internally implemented by means of scopedImport. This implementation detail no longer leaks in C++ Nix 2.13 nor in Tvix. <CYCLE> display is untested at the moment, since we exhibit a discrepancy to C++ Nix 2.3. Our current detection is more similar to C++ Nix 2.13—luckily it is also the more consistent of the two. See also b/245.

When comparing to C++ Nix, we notice that the thunking of default expressions in function formals corresponds to their normal thunking, e.g. literals are not thunked. This means that we can just invoke compile() without much of a care and trust that it will sort it out correctly. If function formals blow up as a result of this, it likely indicates that the expression is treated incorrectly by compile(), not compile_param_pattern().

Unary operator applications are thunked which can easily be observed by nix-instantiate --eval -E '[ (!true) (-1) ]' Unfortunately, there are few simple expressions where this makes a difference in the end result. Thus it only cropped up when using nixpkgs for cross compilation: Here we would compile the expression !(stdenv.cc.isGNU or false) to assemble python3Minimal's passthru attribute set (at least this seems to be the most likely explanation from the backtraces I've studied). This means that an unthunked <stdenv.cc.isGNU or false> OpForce OpInvert would be performed in order to assemble this attribute set, causing stdenv.cc to be evaluated too early, causing an infinite recursion. Resolves b/273. It seems that having a test suite that doesn't use --strict and relies on thunks rendered as <CODE> would be beneficial for catching such issues. I've not been able to find a test case with --strict that demonstrates the problem fixed in this CL.

2023-05-26 r/6207 fix(tvix): don't call function eagerly in genList, map & mapAttrssterni4-5/+88
mapAttrs, map and genList call Nix functions provided by the caller and store the result of applying them in a Nix data structure that does not force all of its contents when forced itself. This means that when such a builtin application is forced, the Nix function calls performed by the builtin should not be forced: They may be forced later, but it is also possible that they will never be forced, e.g. in builtins.length (builtins.map (builtins.add 2) [ 1 2 3 ]) it is not necessary to compute a single application of builtins.add. Since request_call_with immediately performs the function call requested, Tvix would compute function applications unnecessarily before this change. Because this was not followed by a request_force, the impact of this was relatively low in Nix code (most functions return a new thunk after being applied), but it was enough to cause a lot of bogus builtins.trace applications when evaluating anything from `lib.modules`. The newly added test includes many cases where Tvix previously incorrectly applied a builtin, breaking a working expression. To fix this we add a new helper to construct a Thunk performing a function application at runtime from a function and argument given as `Value`s. This mimics the compiler's compile_apply(), but does itself not require a compiler, since the necessary Lambda can be constructed independently. I also looked into other builtins that call a Nix function to verify that they don't exhibit such a problem: - Many builtins immediately use the resulting value in a way that makes it necessary to compute all the function calls they do as soon as the outer builtin application is forced: * all * any * filter * groupBy * partition - concatMap needs to (shallowly) force the returned list for concatenation. - foldl' is strict in the application of `op` (I added a comment that makes this explicit). - genericClosure needs to (shallowly) force the resulting list and some keys of the attribute sets inside. Resolves b/272.

This feature allows the compiler to detect situations where the created thunk is useless and can be merged into the parent chunk instead. The only case where the compiler does this initially is when statically optimising a select expression. For example, previously the expression `builtins.length` compiled into two thunks: 1. An "inner" thunk which contained an `OpConstant` that had the optimised `length` builtin in it. 2. An "outer" thunk which contained an `OpConstant` to access the inner thunk, and the trailing OpForce of the top-level program. With this change, the inner thunk is skipped completely and the outer chunk directly contains the `length` builtin access. This can be applied in several situations, some easier than others, and we will add them in as we go along.

This switches out the previous compressed representation (count of instructions per span) with a representation where the chunk's span list stores the index of the first operation that belongs to a span, and finds the right span by using a binary search when looking them up. This improves the lookup complexity from O(n) to O(log n). This improvement was suggested and (mostly) implemented by GPT-4. I only fixed up some names and updated the logic for deleting spans (which it only did not do because I didn't tell it about that). The code was verified by producing a complex error before/after the change and ensuring that all spans in the error match exactly.

2023-03-27 r/6045 refactor(tvix/eval): retain call frames when entering callsVincent Ambo1-6/+13
This grows the frame stack as the call stack grows, which yields *much* better user-facing error messages. I haven't measured the performance impact this has yet, for now I'm still just trying to add more information to errors and then cut down again where necessary.

This makes it possible for callers to control whether they can receive partially evaluated values from an evaluation or not. We're actually flipping the default behaviour to non-strict top-level evaluation, which means that callers have to set `strict = true` on the Evaluation to get the previous behaviour.

2023-03-17 r/6027 fix(tvix/eval): use span of `set` for OpForce in attribute accessVincent Ambo1-2/+2
Emits the span of the `set` that is being accessed in the `force` operation of an attribute access. Looking at traces, it's a lot more useful to get information about *what* is being forced, as in cases like `foo.bar` it can be misleading to have an error highlight `bar`, when the error occured while forcing `foo` to be able to access `bar` in the first place.

2023-03-17 r/6026 feat(tvix/eval): report all known spans on infinite recursionVincent Ambo3-16/+80
This reports the span 1. of the code within a thunk, 2. of the place where the thunk was instantiated, 3. of the place where the thunk was first forced, 4. of the place where the thunk was forced again, when yielding an infinite recursion error, which hopefully makes it easier to debug them. The spans are tracked in the ThunkRepr::Blackhole variant when putting a thunk under evaluation. Note that we currently have some loss of span precision in the VM loop when switching between frame types, so spans 3/4 are currently a bit wonky. Working on it.

This is step 1 towards being able to use all 4 spans that we know when dealing with infinite recursion. It tracks the span at which the force of a thunk was first requested when constructing a blackhole, so that we can highlight the spans of the first and second forces. These are actually the least relevant spans, but the easiest to put in place, more coming soon.

2023-03-17 r/6023 feat(tvix/eval): enrich errors with VM's frame stack informationVincent Ambo4-129/+242
When emitting an error at runtime, the VM will now use the new `NativeError` and `BytecodeError` error kinds (which just wrap inner errors) to create a set of diagnostics to emit. The primary diagnostic is emitted last, with `error` type (so it will be coloured red in terminals), the other ones will be emitted with `note` type, highlighting the causal chain. Example: https://gist.github.com/tazjin/25feba7d211702453c9ebd5f8fd378e4 This is currently quite verbose, and we can cut down on this further, but the purpose of this commit is to surface more information first of all before worrying about the exact display.

2023-03-13 r/5991 chore(tvix/eval): mark async functions which are called by the VMAdam Joseph3-0/+9
Given Rust's current lack of support for tail calls, we cannot avoid using `async` for builtins. This is the only way to avoid overflowing the cpu stack when we have arbitrarily deep builtin/interpreted/builtin/interpreted/... "sandwiches" There are only five `async fn` functions which are not builtins (some come in multiple "flavors"): - add_values - resolve_with - force, final_deep_force - nix_eq, nix_cmp_eq - coerce_to_string These can be written iteratively rather than recursively (and in fact nix_eq used to be written that way!). I volunteer to rewrite them. If written iteratively they would no longer need to be `async`. There are two motivations for limiting our reliance on `async` to only the situation (builtins) where we have no other choice: 1. Performance. We don't really have any good measurement of the performance hit that the Box<dyn Future>s impose on us. Right now all of our large (nixpkgs-eval) tests are swamped by the cost of other things (e.g. fork()ing `nix-store`) so we can't really measure it. Builtins tend to be expensive operations anyways (regexp-matching, sorting, etc) that are likely to already cost more than the `async` overhead. 2. Preserving the ability to switch to `musttail` calls. Clang/LLVM recently got `musttail` (mandatory-elimination tail calls). Rust has refused to add this mainly because WASM doesn't support, but WASM `tail_call` has been implemented and was recently moved to phase 4 (standardization). It is very likely that Rust will get tail calls sometime in the next year; if it does, we won't need async anymore. In the meantime, I'd like to avoid adding any further reliance on `async` in places where it wouldn't be straightforward to replace it with a tail call. https://reviews.llvm.org/D99517 https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals/pull/157 https: //github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/2691#issuecomment-1462152908 Change-Id: Id15945d5a92bf52c16d93456e3437f91d93bdc57 Reviewed-on: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/8290 Reviewed-by: tazjin <tazjin@tvl.su> Tested-by: BuildkiteCI Autosubmit: Adam Joseph <adam@westernsemico.com>
