2020-03-17Reduce allocations for keyword argument hashesJeremy Evans
Previously, passing a keyword splat to a method always allocated a hash on the caller side, and accepting arbitrary keywords in a method allocated a separate hash on the callee side. Passing explicit keywords to a method that accepted a keyword splat did not allocate a hash on the caller side, but resulted in two hashes allocated on the callee side. This commit makes passing a single keyword splat to a method not allocate a hash on the caller side. Passing multiple keyword splats or a mix of explicit keywords and a keyword splat still generates a hash on the caller side. On the callee side, if arbitrary keywords are not accepted, it does not allocate a hash. If arbitrary keywords are accepted, it will allocate a hash, but this commit uses a callinfo flag to indicate whether the caller already allocated a hash, and if so, the callee can use the passed hash without duplicating it. So this commit should make it so that a maximum of a single hash is allocated during method calls. To set the callinfo flag appropriately, method call argument compilation checks if only a single keyword splat is given. If only one keyword splat is given, the VM_CALL_KW_SPLAT_MUT callinfo flag is not set, since in that case the keyword splat is passed directly and not mutable. If more than one splat is used, a new hash needs to be generated on the caller side, and in that case the callinfo flag is set, indicating the keyword splat is mutable by the callee. In compile_hash, used for both hash and keyword argument compilation, if compiling keyword arguments and only a single keyword splat is used, pass the argument directly. On the caller side, in vm_args.c, the callinfo flag needs to be recognized and handled. Because the keyword splat argument may not be a hash, it needs to be converted to a hash first if not. Then, unless the callinfo flag is set, the hash needs to be duplicated. The temporary copy of the callinfo flag, kw_flag, is updated if a hash was duplicated, to prevent the need to duplicate it again. If we are converting to a hash or duplicating a hash, we need to update the argument array, which can including duplicating the positional splat array if one was passed. CALLER_SETUP_ARG and a couple other places needs to be modified to handle similar issues for other types of calls. This includes fairly comprehensive tests for different ways keywords are handled internally, checking that you get equal results but that keyword splats on the caller side result in distinct objects for keyword rest parameters. Included are benchmarks for keyword argument calls. Brief results when compiled without optimization: def kw(a: 1) a end def kws(**kw) kw end h = {a: 1} kw(a: 1) # about same kw(**h) # 2.37x faster kws(a: 1) # 1.30x faster kws(**h) # 2.19x faster kw(a: 1, **h) # 1.03x slower kw(**h, **h) # about same kws(a: 1, **h) # 1.16x faster kws(**h, **h) # 1.14x faster Notes: Merged: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2945
2020-03-16hash.c: Do not use the fast path (rb_yield_values) for lambda blocksYusuke Endoh
As a semantics, Hash#each yields a 2-element array (pairs of keys and values). So, `{ a: 1 }.each(&->(k, v) { })` should raise an exception due to lambda's arity check. However, the optimization that avoids Array allocation by using rb_yield_values for blocks whose arity is more than 1 (introduced at b9d29603375d17c3d1d609d9662f50beaec61fa1 and some commits), seemed to overlook the lambda case, and wrongly allowed the code above to work. This change experimentally attempts to make it strict; now the code above raises an ArgumentError. This is an incompatible change; if the compatibility issue is bigger than our expectation, it may be reverted (until Ruby 3.0 release). [Bug #12706]

This behavior was deprecated in 2.7 and scheduled to be removed in 3.0. Calling yield in a class definition outside a method is now a SyntaxError instead of a LocalJumpError, as well. Notes: Merged: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2901
