The Ruby Programming Language [mirror]

When running with `--yjit-stats` turned on, yjit can inform the user
what the most common exits are. While this is useful information it
doesn't tell you the source location of the code that exited or what the
code that exited looks like. This change intends to fix that.
To use the feature, run yjit with the `--yjit-trace-exits` option,
which will record the backtrace for every exit that occurs. This functionality
requires the stats feature to be turned on. Calling `--yjit-trace-exits`
will automatically set the `--yjit-stats` option.
Users must call `RubyVM::YJIT.dump_exit_locations(filename)` which will
Marshal dump the contents of `RubyVM::YJIT.exit_locations` into a file
based on the passed filename.
*Example usage:*
Given the following script, we write to a file called
`concat_array.dump` the results of `RubyVM::YJIT.exit_locations`.
```ruby
def concat_array
["t", "r", *x = "u", "e"].join
end
1000.times do
concat_array
end
RubyVM::YJIT.dump_exit_locations("concat_array.dump")
```
When we run the file with this branch and the appropriate flags the
stacktrace will be recorded. Note Stackprof needs to be installed or you
need to point to the library directly.
```
./ruby --yjit --yjit-call-threshold=1 --yjit-trace-exits -I/Users/eileencodes/open_source/stackprof/lib test.rb
```
We can then read the dump file with Stackprof:
```
./ruby -I/Users/eileencodes/open_source/stackprof/lib/ /Users/eileencodes/open_source/stackprof/bin/stackprof --text concat_array.dump
```
Results will look similar to the following:
```
==================================
Mode: ()
Samples: 1817 (0.00% miss rate)
GC: 0 (0.00%)
==================================
TOTAL (pct) SAMPLES (pct) FRAME
1001 (55.1%) 1001 (55.1%) concatarray
335 (18.4%) 335 (18.4%) invokeblock
178 (9.8%) 178 (9.8%) send
140 (7.7%) 140 (7.7%) opt_getinlinecache
...etc...
```
Simply inspecting the `concatarray` method will give `SOURCE
UNAVAILABLE` because the source is insns.def.
```
./ruby -I/Users/eileencodes/open_source/stackprof/lib/ /Users/eileencodes/open_source/stackprof/bin/stackprof --text concat_array.dump --method concatarray
```
Result:
```
concatarray (nonexistent.def:1)
samples: 1001 self (55.1%) / 1001 total (55.1%)
callers:
1000 ( 99.9%) Object#concat_array
1 ( 0.1%) Gem.suffixes
callees (0 total):
code:
SOURCE UNAVAILABLE
```
However if we go deeper to the callee we can see the exact
source of the `concatarray` exit.
```
./ruby -I/Users/eileencodes/open_source/stackprof/lib/ /Users/eileencodes/open_source/stackprof/bin/stackprof --text concat_array.dump --method Object#concat_array
```
```
Object#concat_array (/Users/eileencodes/open_source/rust_ruby/test.rb:1)
samples: 0 self (0.0%) / 1000 total (55.0%)
callers:
1000 ( 100.0%) block in <main>
callees (1000 total):
1000 ( 100.0%) concatarray
code:
| 1 | def concat_array
1000 (55.0%) | 2 | ["t", "r", *x = "u", "e"].join
| 3 | end
```
The `--walk` option is recommended for this feature as it make it
easier to traverse the tree of exits.
*Goals of this feature:*
This feature is meant to give more information when working on YJIT.
The idea is that if we know what code is exiting we can decide what
areas to prioritize when fixing exits. In some cases this means adding
prioritizing avoiding certain exits in yjit. In more complex cases it
might mean changing the Ruby code to be more performant when run with
yjit. Ultimately the more information we have about what code is exiting
AND why, the better we can make yjit.
*Known limitations:*
* Due to tracing exits, running this on large codebases like Rails
can be quite slow.
* On complex methods it can still be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of
an exit.
* Stackprof is a requirement to to view the backtrace information from
the dump file.

What is Ruby?
Ruby is an interpreted object-oriented programming language often used for web development. It also offers many scripting features to process plain text and serialized files, or manage system tasks. It is simple, straightforward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. mix-in, singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, macOS, etc.) cf. https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/doc/maintainers.rdoc#label-Platform+Maintainers
