-Kaleidoscope: Adding JIT and Optimizer Support
-==============================================

-
-Chapter 4 Introduction
-======================
-
-Welcome to Chapter 4 of the "`Implementing a language with
-LLVM <index.html>`_" tutorial. Chapters 1-3 described the implementation
-of a simple language and added support for generating LLVM IR. This
-chapter describes two new techniques: adding optimizer support to your
-language, and adding JIT compiler support. These additions will
-demonstrate how to get nice, efficient code for the Kaleidoscope
-language.
-
-Trivial Constant Folding
-========================
-
-**Note:** the default ``IRBuilder`` now always includes the constant
-folding optimisations below.
-
-Our demonstration for Chapter 3 is elegant and easy to extend.
-Unfortunately, it does not produce wonderful code. For example, when
-compiling simple code, we don't get obvious optimizations:
-
-::
-
- ready> def test(x) 1+2+x;
- Read function definition:
- define double @test(double %x) {
- entry:
- %addtmp = fadd double 1.000000e+00, 2.000000e+00
- %addtmp1 = fadd double %addtmp, %x
- ret double %addtmp1
- }
-
-This code is a very, very literal transcription of the AST built by
-parsing the input. As such, this transcription lacks optimizations like
-constant folding (we'd like to get "``add x, 3.0``" in the example
-above) as well as other more important optimizations. Constant folding,
-in particular, is a very common and very important optimization: so much
-so that many language implementors implement constant folding support in
-their AST representation.
-
-With LLVM, you don't need this support in the AST. Since all calls to
-build LLVM IR go through the LLVM builder, it would be nice if the
-builder itself checked to see if there was a constant folding
-opportunity when you call it. If so, it could just do the constant fold
-and return the constant instead of creating an instruction. This is
-exactly what the ``LLVMFoldingBuilder`` class does.
-
-All we did was switch from ``LLVMBuilder`` to ``LLVMFoldingBuilder``.
-Though we change no other code, we now have all of our instructions
-implicitly constant folded without us having to do anything about it.
-For example, the input above now compiles to:
-
-::
-
- ready> def test(x) 1+2+x;
- Read function definition:
- define double @test(double %x) {
- entry:
- %addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
- ret double %addtmp
- }
-
-Well, that was easy :). In practice, we recommend always using
-``LLVMFoldingBuilder`` when generating code like this. It has no
-"syntactic overhead" for its use (you don't have to uglify your compiler
-with constant checks everywhere) and it can dramatically reduce the
-amount of LLVM IR that is generated in some cases (particular for
-languages with a macro preprocessor or that use a lot of constants).
-
-On the other hand, the ``LLVMFoldingBuilder`` is limited by the fact
-that it does all of its analysis inline with the code as it is built. If
-you take a slightly more complex example:
-
-::
-
- ready> def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));
- ready> Read function definition:
- define double @test(double %x) {
- entry:
- %addtmp = fadd double 3.000000e+00, %x
- %addtmp1 = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00
- %multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp1
- ret double %multmp
- }
-
-In this case, the LHS and RHS of the multiplication are the same value.
-We'd really like to see this generate "``tmp = x+3; result = tmp*tmp;``"
-instead of computing "``x*3``" twice.
-
-Unfortunately, no amount of local analysis will be able to detect and
-correct this. This requires two transformations: reassociation of
-expressions (to make the add's lexically identical) and Common
-Subexpression Elimination (CSE) to delete the redundant add instruction.
-Fortunately, LLVM provides a broad range of optimizations that you can
-use, in the form of "passes".
-
-LLVM Optimization Passes
-========================
-
-LLVM provides many optimization passes, which do many different sorts of
-things and have different tradeoffs. Unlike other systems, LLVM doesn't
-hold to the mistaken notion that one set of optimizations is right for
-all languages and for all situations. LLVM allows a compiler implementor
-to make complete decisions about what optimizations to use, in which
-order, and in what situation.
-
-As a concrete example, LLVM supports both "whole module" passes, which
-look across as large of body of code as they can (often a whole file,
-but if run at link time, this can be a substantial portion of the whole
-program). It also supports and includes "per-function" passes which just
-operate on a single function at a time, without looking at other
-functions. For more information on passes and how they are run, see the
-`How to Write a Pass <../WritingAnLLVMPass.html>`_ document and the
-`List of LLVM Passes <../Passes.html>`_.
-
-For Kaleidoscope, we are currently generating functions on the fly, one
-at a time, as the user types them in. We aren't shooting for the
-ultimate optimization experience in this setting, but we also want to
-catch the easy and quick stuff where possible. As such, we will choose
-to run a few per-function optimizations as the user types the function
-in. If we wanted to make a "static Kaleidoscope compiler", we would use
-exactly the code we have now, except that we would defer running the
-optimizer until the entire file has been parsed.
-
-In order to get per-function optimizations going, we need to set up a
-`Llvm.PassManager <../WritingAnLLVMPass.html#what-passmanager-does>`_ to hold and
-organize the LLVM optimizations that we want to run. Once we have that,
-we can add a set of optimizations to run. The code looks like this:
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- (* Create the JIT. *)
- let the_execution_engine = ExecutionEngine.create Codegen.the_module in
- let the_fpm = PassManager.create_function Codegen.the_module in
-
- (* Set up the optimizer pipeline. Start with registering info about how the
- * target lays out data structures. *)
- DataLayout.add (ExecutionEngine.target_data the_execution_engine) the_fpm;
-
- (* Do simple "peephole" optimizations and bit-twiddling optzn. *)
- add_instruction_combining the_fpm;
-
- (* reassociate expressions. *)
- add_reassociation the_fpm;
-
- (* Eliminate Common SubExpressions. *)
- add_gvn the_fpm;
-
- (* Simplify the control flow graph (deleting unreachable blocks, etc). *)
- add_cfg_simplification the_fpm;
-
- ignore (PassManager.initialize the_fpm);
-
- (* Run the main "interpreter loop" now. *)
- Toplevel.main_loop the_fpm the_execution_engine stream;
-
-The meat of the matter here, is the definition of "``the_fpm``". It
-requires a pointer to the ``the_module`` to construct itself. Once it is
-set up, we use a series of "add" calls to add a bunch of LLVM passes.
-The first pass is basically boilerplate, it adds a pass so that later
-optimizations know how the data structures in the program are laid out.
-The "``the_execution_engine``" variable is related to the JIT, which we
-will get to in the next section.
-
-In this case, we choose to add 4 optimization passes. The passes we
-chose here are a pretty standard set of "cleanup" optimizations that are
-useful for a wide variety of code. I won't delve into what they do but,
-believe me, they are a good starting place :).
-
-Once the ``Llvm.PassManager.`` is set up, we need to make use of it. We
-do this by running it after our newly created function is constructed
-(in ``Codegen.codegen_func``), but before it is returned to the client:
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- let codegen_func the_fpm = function
- ...
- try
- let ret_val = codegen_expr body in
-
- (* Finish off the function. *)
- let _ = build_ret ret_val builder in
-
- (* Validate the generated code, checking for consistency. *)
- Llvm_analysis.assert_valid_function the_function;
-
- (* Optimize the function. *)
- let _ = PassManager.run_function the_function the_fpm in
-
- the_function
-
-As you can see, this is pretty straightforward. The ``the_fpm``
-optimizes and updates the LLVM Function\* in place, improving
-(hopefully) its body. With this in place, we can try our test above
-again:
-
-::
-
- ready> def test(x) (1+2+x)*(x+(1+2));
- ready> Read function definition:
- define double @test(double %x) {
- entry:
- %addtmp = fadd double %x, 3.000000e+00
- %multmp = fmul double %addtmp, %addtmp
- ret double %multmp
- }
-
-As expected, we now get our nicely optimized code, saving a floating
-point add instruction from every execution of this function.
-
-LLVM provides a wide variety of optimizations that can be used in
-certain circumstances. Some `documentation about the various
-passes <../Passes.html>`_ is available, but it isn't very complete.
-Another good source of ideas can come from looking at the passes that
-``Clang`` runs to get started. The "``opt``" tool allows you to
-experiment with passes from the command line, so you can see if they do
-anything.
-
-Now that we have reasonable code coming out of our front-end, lets talk
-about executing it!
-
-Adding a JIT Compiler
-=====================
-
-Code that is available in LLVM IR can have a wide variety of tools
-applied to it. For example, you can run optimizations on it (as we did
-above), you can dump it out in textual or binary forms, you can compile
-the code to an assembly file (.s) for some target, or you can JIT
-compile it. The nice thing about the LLVM IR representation is that it
-is the "common currency" between many different parts of the compiler.
-
-In this section, we'll add JIT compiler support to our interpreter. The
-basic idea that we want for Kaleidoscope is to have the user enter
-function bodies as they do now, but immediately evaluate the top-level
-expressions they type in. For example, if they type in "1 + 2;", we
-should evaluate and print out 3. If they define a function, they should
-be able to call it from the command line.
-
-In order to do this, we first declare and initialize the JIT. This is
-done by adding a global variable and a call in ``main``:
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- ...
- let main () =
- ...
- (* Create the JIT. *)
- let the_execution_engine = ExecutionEngine.create Codegen.the_module in
- ...
-
-This creates an abstract "Execution Engine" which can be either a JIT
-compiler or the LLVM interpreter. LLVM will automatically pick a JIT
-compiler for you if one is available for your platform, otherwise it
-will fall back to the interpreter.
-
-Once the ``Llvm_executionengine.ExecutionEngine.t`` is created, the JIT
-is ready to be used. There are a variety of APIs that are useful, but
-the simplest one is the
-"``Llvm_executionengine.ExecutionEngine.run_function``" function. This
-method JIT compiles the specified LLVM Function and returns a function
-pointer to the generated machine code. In our case, this means that we
-can change the code that parses a top-level expression to look like
-this:
-
-.. code-block:: ocaml
-
- (* Evaluate a top-level expression into an anonymous function. *)
- let e = Parser.parse_toplevel stream in
- print_endline "parsed a top-level expr";
- let the_function = Codegen.codegen_func the_fpm e in
- dump_value the_function;
-
- (* JIT the function, returning a function pointer. *)
- let result = ExecutionEngine.run_function the_function [||]
- the_execution_engine in
-
- print_string "Evaluated to ";
- print_float (GenericValue.as_float Codegen.double_type result);
- print_newline ();
-
-Recall that we compile top-level expressions into a self-contained LLVM
-function that takes no arguments and returns the computed double.
-Because the LLVM JIT compiler matches the native platform ABI, this
-means that you can just cast the result pointer to a function pointer of
-that type and call it directly. This means, there is no difference
-between JIT compiled code and native machine code that is statically
-linked into your application.
-
-With just these two changes, lets see how Kaleidoscope works now!
-
-::
-
- ready> 4+5;
- define double @""() {
- entry:
- ret double 9.000000e+00
- }
-
- Evaluated to 9.000000
-
-Well this looks like it is basically working. The dump of the function
-shows the "no argument function that always returns double" that we
-synthesize for each top level expression that is typed in. This
-demonstrates very basic functionality, but can we do more?
-
-::
-
- ready> def testfunc(x y) x + y*2;
- Read function definition:
- define double @testfunc(double %x, double %y) {
- entry:
- %multmp = fmul double %y, 2.000000e+00
- %addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %x
- ret double %addtmp
- }
-
- ready> testfunc(4, 10);
- define double @""() {
- entry:
- %calltmp = call double @testfunc(double 4.000000e+00, double 1.000000e+01)
- ret double %calltmp
- }
-
- Evaluated to 24.000000
-
-This illustrates that we can now call user code, but there is something
-a bit subtle going on here. Note that we only invoke the JIT on the
-anonymous functions that *call testfunc*, but we never invoked it on
-*testfunc* itself. What actually happened here is that the JIT scanned
-for all non-JIT'd functions transitively called from the anonymous
-function and compiled all of them before returning from
-``run_function``.
-
-The JIT provides a number of other more advanced interfaces for things
-like freeing allocated machine code, rejit'ing functions to update them,
-etc. However, even with this simple code, we get some surprisingly
-powerful capabilities - check this out (I removed the dump of the
-anonymous functions, you should get the idea by now :) :
-
-::
-
- ready> extern sin(x);
- Read extern:
- declare double @sin(double)
-
- ready> extern cos(x);
- Read extern:
- declare double @cos(double)
-
- ready> sin(1.0);
- Evaluated to 0.841471
-
- ready> def foo(x) sin(x)*sin(x) + cos(x)*cos(x);
- Read function definition:
- define double @foo(double %x) {
- entry:
- %calltmp = call double @sin(double %x)
- %multmp = fmul double %calltmp, %calltmp
- %calltmp2 = call double @cos(double %x)
- %multmp4 = fmul double %calltmp2, %calltmp2
- %addtmp = fadd double %multmp, %multmp4
- ret double %addtmp
- }
-
- ready> foo(4.0);
- Evaluated to 1.000000
-
-Whoa, how does the JIT know about sin and cos? The answer is
-surprisingly simple: in this example, the JIT started execution of a
-function and got to a function call. It realized that the function was
-not yet JIT compiled and invoked the standard set of routines to resolve
-the function. In this case, there is no body defined for the function,
-so the JIT ended up calling "``dlsym("sin")``" on the Kaleidoscope
-process itself. Since "``sin``" is defined within the JIT's address
-space, it simply patches up calls in the module to call the libm version
-of ``sin`` directly.
-
-The LLVM JIT provides a number of interfaces (look in the
-``llvm_executionengine.mli`` file) for controlling how unknown functions
-get resolved. It allows you to establish explicit mappings between IR
-objects and addresses (useful for LLVM global variables that you want to
-map to static tables, for example), allows you to dynamically decide on
-the fly based on the function name, and even allows you to have the JIT
-compile functions lazily the first time they're called.
-
-One interesting application of this is that we can now extend the
-language by writing arbitrary C code to implement operations. For
-example, if we add:
-
-.. code-block:: c++
-
- /* putchard - putchar that takes a double and returns 0. */
- extern "C"
- double putchard(double X) {
- putchar((char)X);
- return 0;
- }
-
-Now we can produce simple output to the console by using things like:
-"``extern putchard(x); putchard(120);``", which prints a lowercase 'x'
-on the console (120 is the ASCII code for 'x'). Similar code could be
-used to implement file I/O, console input, and many other capabilities
-in Kaleidoscope.
-
-This completes the JIT and optimizer chapter of the Kaleidoscope
-tutorial. At this point, we can compile a non-Turing-complete
-programming language, optimize and JIT compile it in a user-driven way.
-Next up we'll look into `extending the language with control flow
-constructs <OCamlLangImpl5.html>`_, tackling some interesting LLVM IR
-issues along the way.
