2022-11-14Remove unused function rb_shape_transition_shapePeter Zhu
Notes: Merged: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6717
2022-11-10Extract `rb_shape_get_parent` helperJemma Issroff
Extract an `rb_shape_get_parent` method instead of continually calling `rb_shape_get_shape_by_id(shape->parent_id)` Notes: Merged: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6708
2022-11-10Transition shape when object's capacity changesJemma Issroff
This commit adds a `capacity` field to shapes, and adds shape transitions whenever an object's capacity changes. Objects which are allocated out of a bigger size pool will also make a transition from the root shape to the shape with the correct capacity for their size pool when they are allocated. This commit will allow us to remove numiv from objects completely, and will also mean we can guarantee that if two objects share shapes, their IVs are in the same positions (an embedded and extended object cannot share shapes). This will enable us to implement ivar sets in YJIT using object shapes. Co-Authored-By: Aaron Patterson <tenderlove@ruby-lang.org> Notes: Merged: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6699
2022-10-31Implement object shapes for T_CLASS and T_MODULE (#6637)John Hawthorn
* Avoid RCLASS_IV_TBL in marshal.c * Avoid RCLASS_IV_TBL for class names * Avoid RCLASS_IV_TBL for autoload * Avoid RCLASS_IV_TBL for class variables * Avoid copying RCLASS_IV_TBL onto ICLASSes * Use object shapes for Class and Module IVs Notes: Merged-By: jhawthorn <john@hawthorn.email>
2022-10-21Rename `iv_count` on shapes to `next_iv_index`Jemma Issroff
`iv_count` is a misleading name because when IVs are unset, the new shape doesn't decrement this value. `next_iv_count` is an accurate, and more descriptive name. Notes: Merged: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6608
2022-10-15More precisely iterate over Object instance variablesAaron Patterson
Shapes provides us with an (almost) exact count of instance variables. We only need to check for Qundef when an IV has been "undefined" Prefer to use ROBJECT_IV_COUNT when iterating IVs Notes: Merged: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6555
2022-10-11Make inline cache reads / writes atomic with object shapesJemma Issroff
Prior to this commit, we were reading and writing ivar index and shape ID in inline caches in two separate instructions when getting and setting ivars. This meant there was a race condition with ractors and these caches where one ractor could change a value in the cache while another was still reading from it. This commit instead reads and writes shape ID and ivar index to inline caches atomically so there is no longer a race condition.

2022-09-28This commit implements the Object Shapes technique in CRuby.Jemma Issroff
Object Shapes is used for accessing instance variables and representing the "frozenness" of objects. Object instances have a "shape" and the shape represents some attributes of the object (currently which instance variables are set and the "frozenness"). Shapes form a tree data structure, and when a new instance variable is set on an object, that object "transitions" to a new shape in the shape tree. Each shape has an ID that is used for caching. The shape structure is independent of class, so objects of different types can have the same shape. For example: ```ruby class Foo def initialize # Starts with shape id 0 @a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1 @b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2 end end class Bar def initialize # Starts with shape id 0 @a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1 @b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2 end end foo = Foo.new # `foo` has shape id 2 bar = Bar.new # `bar` has shape id 2 ``` Both `foo` and `bar` instances have the same shape because they both set instance variables of the same name in the same order. This technique can help to improve inline cache hits as well as generate more efficient machine code in JIT compilers. This commit also adds some methods for debugging shapes on objects. See `RubyVM::Shape` for more details. For more context on Object Shapes, see [Feature: #18776] Co-Authored-By: Aaron Patterson <tenderlove@ruby-lang.org> Co-Authored-By: Eileen M.
