automatic recompilation of dependent functions #265

vtjnash · 2011-11-26T04:33:07Z

if I define a function d2 before a function d1 which calls d2 then change d2, d1 uses the old definition for d2.
I assume this is because it is all precompiled, but maybe there should be a note warning of this? Or would it be possible to replace the old definition with a longjmp to the new one?
(Mostly important for the REPL, since I don't always do a full load)

julia> function d2()
       a
       end

julia> function d()
         d2()
       end

julia> d()
in d: a not defined

julia> function d2()
       b=2
       end

julia> d()
in d: a not defined

julia> d2

julia> function d()

       end

julia> d()

I believe this is because the code for d2() is generated when the function is defined so the d() method is resolved at that time. As you noted, you can redefine d2() as it was originally defined to make it work as expected. Ideally, we would automatically re-define anything that depends on d() when it is changed like this, but we don't have any of the metadata in place that would allow that. I guess we could put a warning about this behavior in the manual. Better still would be to fix it, but I think it's a bit tricky to do :-/

I was hoping nobody would notice this, but I guess that wasn't realistic of me :)

vtjnash · 2011-11-28T16:40:01Z

It's more fun than that; it really lets you see the JIT at work, since it isn't resolved until execution:

julia> function f2()
       a
       end

julia> function f1()
       f2()
       end

julia> function f2()
       2
       end

julia> f1()
2

However, I fear this can lead to some unexpected results at the REPL, although I don't really know the best way to deal with it. Although I used an error to show the difference in dramatic fashion, it could also happens if I was trying to see the effect of changing an inner equation or constant!

There are two types of locations that may need to be updated when a method is altered:

places where the method is called explicitly as a function (call/ret)
places where the method has been inlined

The former could be updated just by changing the function body: it could be altered in place, or the calling sites could be actively updated to call a new location, or the old function body could be replaced with a stub that jumps to the new version, optionally patching the calling site. For inlining, we need to track the callers that have inlined the function and re-JIT them.

JeffBezanson · 2011-11-29T03:53:15Z

Really all we can do is discard code, because even if a method wasn't inlined any function that calls it might depend on type behavior that can change if the method changes. This is mostly for interactive cases so re-compiling code is not a huge deal.
Requires same work as issue #47.

StefanKarpinski · 2011-11-29T08:53:14Z

Bummer. Well, since it's primarily the repl that's affected, doing the right thing slowly is fine. At run-time, this should almost never kick in — why would someone define something and then redefine it again except interactively? If the solution ends up inducing a lot of overhead maybe turning it one should be optional and automatically done in the repl?

StefanKarpinski · 2012-03-15T05:18:50Z

We need to document that this is undefined currently.

StefanKarpinski · 2012-03-25T21:25:13Z

Technically, this isn't bug, it's an undefined behavior. When you redefine a method, the resulting behavior is undefined. So Julia can do whatever it likes, including what it currently does. Providing a well-defined behavior upon method redefinition is a feature, not a bug fix. I'm also not convinced that this is a v1.0 issue since going from an undefined behavior to providing a well-defined behavior is not a breaking change. This could be implemented in v1.1 without breaking any valid v1.0 code.

Greg Clayton from Apple's LLVM/LLDB staff was kind enough to document how to elicit (with lldb libraries, a subproject of llvm) the necessary information to determine a binary's dependencies from the embedded symbol info (symbol imports); as well as those symbols exported by a binary (necessary to construct the complete dependency graph).

Dear LLDB enthusiasts,

I'm wondering if I can use the lldb library/libraries to replace the certain code running on OSX that now returns two lists of symbols-- similar to the output of (dyldinfo -lazy_bind -exports ); i.e. I need to list the symbols imported and exported by a binary shared object or bundle.

My hope was that by using an lldb library, I would be able to use the same client code on OSX as on linux. (The linux version of the code currently uses libbfd and libdld to do the same thing, but the later is getting little love/maintenance).

I'm looking through include/lldb/, as it seems like lldb would need this same info (imported symbol list, and exported symbol list for a Mach-O file) to function, but it's not clear which API to use. All suggestions/pointers to example code in lldb would be welcome!

Thank you.
Jason

In case it is unclear what dyldinfo does, here is an example: (but I only need the symbol names; not the addresses or segments or sections):

$ file /tmp/sample_bundle
/tmp/sample_bundle: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

$dyldinfo -lazy_bind -export /tmp/sample_bundle

lazy binding information (from lazy_bind part of dyld info):
segment section address index dylib symbol
__DATA __la_symbol_ptr 0x00001030 0x0000 flat-namespace __mm_pop_chunk
__DATA __la_symbol_ptr 0x00001038 0x0015 flat-namespace _dh_define

Yes you can do this with LLDB. If you load a binary and dump its symbol table, you will see the information you want. For symbols that are lazily bound, you can look for "Trampoline" symbols:

cd lldb/test/lang/objc/foundation
make
lldb a.out
(lldb) target modules dump symtab a.out
Symtab, file = .../lldb/test/lang/objc/foundation/a.out, num_symbols = 54:

The other symbols that are exernal are marked with an "X" (which is a boolean flag on each symbol).

The symbols can be accessed via the SBModule:

   size_t
   SBModule::GetNumSymbols ();

   lldb::SBSymbol
   SBModule::GetSymbolAtIndex (size_t idx);

And then you can get the symbol type from each SBSymbol:

   SymbolType
   SBSymbol::GetType ();


I just added the ability to see if a symbol is externally visible:
% svn commit
Sending        include/lldb/API/SBSymbol.h
Sending        scripts/Python/interface/SBSymbol.i
Sending        source/API/SBSymbol.cpp
Transmitting file data ...
Committed revision 153893.


   bool
   SBSymbol::IsExternal();


So your flow should be:

SBDebugger::Initialize();
SBDebugger debugger(SBDebugger::Create());
SBTarget target (debugger.CreateTarget (const char *filename,
                                       const char *target_triple,
                                       const char *platform_name,
                                       bool add_dependent_modules,
                                       lldb::SBError& error));

SBFileSpec exe_file_spec (filename);
SBModule exe_module (target.FindModule(exe_file_spec));
if (exe_module.IsValid()
{
   const size_t num_symbols = exe_module. GetNumSymbols();
   for (size_t i=0; i<num_symbols; ++i)
   {
       SBSymbol symbol (exe_module. GetSymbolAtIndex(i));
       if (symbol.IsExternal())
       {
       }

       if (symbol.GetType() == lldb::eSymbolTypeTrampoline)
       {
       }
   }
}

A quick clarification on the args to CreateTarget:

"filename" is just a full path to the local object file you want to observer. "target_triple" is your <arch>-<vendor>-<os>, or something like "x86_64-apple-darwin" or "i386-pc-linux" and can be NULL if the file is only a single architecture. "platform_name" can be NULL. "add_dependent_modules" should be false, since you are only interested in seeing the one object file itself, an SBError instance  should be created and passed in.

This is dredging up an amazingly old thread, but I realized I am possibly flirting around the edges of this problem with my codespeed benchmarking code. I repeatedly Core.include() files that contain two functions, listTests() and runTests(). I then simply call listTests() and runTests(), thereby redefining and then calling them every time I load a new benchmark file. Because I'm not redefining 2nd-tier functions I don't think I'll run into the problems listed here, but is redefining things like this a bad way to go about loading in multiple files with the same "API"?

StefanKarpinski · 2013-07-10T05:30:34Z

Might be better to include them in a module repeatedly, but I realize that bumps up against the anonymous module problem that's also been raised on the dev list. In this case, it may be fine, however, since you can just define the same module multiple times and ignore the warning that emits.

JeffBezanson · 2013-07-10T05:33:29Z

Perhaps an old thread, but as relevant as ever.
Maybe another approach is to use evalfile and have the file "return" a tuple of functions. What's the anonymous module problem?

StefanKarpinski · 2013-07-10T09:37:39Z

I was referring to this: #3661.

…s as long as we reflect on world=typemax(UInt) Note that this is not technically correct, since always treating world=typemax(UInt) is basically equivalent to reintroducing JuliaLang/julia#265. Thus, we still need to fix #6 eventually.

chriselrod · 2021-02-03T14:35:34Z

I'm still getting this on Julia 1.5 and master on occasion, where code_typed changes but code_llvm and observed behavior do not. The behavior seems to be dependent on package-load order.
Here, I am redefining a couple functions from VectorizationBase. Some other functions in VectorizationBase depend on these, and are then called in VectorizedRNG. I get the correct behavior if I load both VectorizationBase and VectorizedRNG before redefining:

We start with a 514, and then after the redefinitions, the offset is 130 (the offset equals 2 + 8 * number of integers it can process efficiently with SIMD instructions).
But now, we'll redefine the functions before loading VectorizedRNG:

@code_typed is correct in the sense that it updated. It shows the correct new constant, 130.
@code_llvm is correct in the sense that this is the actual behavior the function shows. It shows the old constant, 514, which is still being used.

mbauman · 2021-02-03T15:18:17Z

Might be related: https://github.com/chriselrod/VectorizationBase.jl/search?q=pure

@pure is the mechanism that opts out of this fix. Does it still occur without those annotations?

chriselrod · 2021-02-03T15:22:51Z

Oops, might be my fault! Thanks -- I'll try taking them out.

Without @pure Julia won't optimize them, but LLVM shouldn't have a problem.

EDIT: I just pushed the commit to remove all the pures to master, to remove that as a possible cause in case anyone wants to try the example.

EDIT: Although ArrrayInterface.jl is also using it at some locations. I'll try taking those out too.

EDIT: Also removing them from ArrayInterface solved the problem.

Note that @generated also may opt out of the fix, and it is similarly your responsibility to avoid writing them in such a way that the effect is likely to be visible to your users.

chriselrod · 2021-02-03T20:28:05Z

Could that explain why @code_typed is updated, but @code_llvm and the actual behavior are not?
I've been working on a minimal example, but haven't gotten a reproducer yet.

While there is a lot of @generated, I think that part of the code mostly relies on dispatch.

chriselrod · 2021-02-03T20:48:27Z

Also, redefining after the module has been loaded does trigger recompilation:

Downstream of simd_integer_register_size, all we have is multiplication.

By checking out the master branches, there is this simpler reproducer:

julia> using VectorizationBase

julia> VectorizationBase.has_feature(::Val{:x86_64_avx2}) = VectorizationBase.False()

julia> using VectorizedRNG
[ Info: Precompiling VectorizedRNG [33b4df10-0173-11e9-2a0c-851a7edac40e]

└──      return %4


julia> VectorizedRNG.sirs()
static(16)

julia> VectorizedRNG.getoffset()
514

sirs is updated above. But the downstream multiplciation by integers is not.
