* Use IR pass to eliminate phi nodes (#2226)Theresa Foley2022-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Use IR pass to eliminate phi nodes "Phi nodes" are one of the key contrivances that makes SSA (Static Single Assignment) form work. Because SSA is so great for compiler IRs, we kind of need to deal with phi nodes, but they also get in the way because they don't have a direct analog in most lower-level machine ISAs or execution models, nor in most of the high-level languages a transpiler wants to emit. As a result a compiler like ours needs to be able to eliminate the phi nodes from a program as part of generating output code. (For any clever people noting that SPIR-V supports phi nodes directly: yes, it does. It doesn't need to and it probably *shouldn't*. Anybody involved in the decision-making knows my reasoning, and anybody else should feel free to ask me if they want the lecture. Anyway...) The basic idea of elimiating phi nodes is simple enough. We replace each phi node with a temporary variable. Uses of the phi use values loaded from the temporary. The operation of the phi itself (assigning a value based on the branch taken) amounts to an assignment into the temporary. Previously, the Slang compiler dealt with phi nodes very late in the process of generating code: in the middle of emitting strings of source code in a high-level language like HLSL or GLSL. Doing the work that late in compilation has two big drawbacks: 1. Our ability to emit clean and/or optimal code is limited because we may not be able to make certain changes to the IR, or because we cannot make use of additional information like a dominator tree that might be available at other points in compilation. 2. Any other IR passes that relate to temporary variables won't be able to see the variables that we generate for phi nodes. This could raise issues with correctness (e.g., if we want to compute live-range information for *all* temporary variables), or performance (we have no way to run additional IR optimization passes after phis are eliminated). This change addresses these problems by making the elimination of phi nodes an explicit IR pass. Additional optimizations can easily be run after this pass (although we'd need to be careful not to run passes that could end up introducing new phis). The pass makes use of the information available to it to try to produce code that will emit to "clean" HLSL/GLSL. The core of the pass is in `slang-ir-eliminate-phis.cpp`, and is heavily commented, so I won't describe the approach in detail here. There are two related issues that came up, though: First, it turned out that our emit logic for local variables (`IRVar` instructions) wasn't using the function we'd defined named `emitVar()`. One worrying consequence of that oversight was that the `precise` modifier would impact generated HLSL/GLSL for variables that turned into SSA values (including phi nodes), but *not* for local variables that had not been SSA'd (or that had been SSA'd and then de-SSA'd). This change also fixes that bug; it is unclear how widespread the impact of the original issue might be. Second, generating explicit IR temporaries for phi nodes exposed a pre-existing bug in the `slang-ir-restructure-scoping` pass. That pass basically detects cases where we have an instruction `I` with a use `U` such that the use follows the rules of SSA form ("def dominates use," meaning `I` dominations `U`), but does not follow the more restrictive scoping rules of high-level-language output (where a value computed "inside" a loop is not automatically visible to code outside the loop just because it dominates that code). That pass did not correctly account for the case where `I` was a temporary variable. It seems that case could not arise before now because we didn't have any passes that would move `var`, `load`, or `store` operations out of the basic block they started in. The fix for that pass was relatively simple, and will make the whole thing more robust in case we add more aggressive optimizations later. * fixup: expected test output

* Refactor: eliminate BackEndCompileRequest (#2178)Theresa Foley2022-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An earlier refactoring pass over the compiler codebase split the type that had been called `CompileRequest` into three distinct pieces: * `FrontEndCompileRequest` which was supposed to own state and options related to running the compiler front end and producing IR + reflection (e.g., what translation units and source files/strings are included). * `BackEndCompileRequest` which was supposed to own state and options related to running the compiler back end to translate the IR for a `ComponentType` (program) into output code. (Note that the `BackEndCompileRequest` was conceived of as orthogonal to the `TargetRequest`s, which store per-target and target-specific options.) * `EndToEndCompileRequest` which was an umbrella object that owns separate front-end and back-end requests, plus any state that is only relevant when doing a true end-to-end compile (such as the kinds of compiles initiated with `slangc`). As originally conceived, the only state that this type was supposed to own was stuff related to "pass-through" compilation, as well as state related to writing of generated code to output files. That refactoring work was very useful at the time, because it allowed us to "scrub" the back end compilation steps to remove all dependencies on front-end and AST state (this was important for our goals of enabling linking and codegen from serialized Slang IR). At this point, however, it is clear that the hierarchy that was built up serves very little purpose: * The `BackEndCompileRequest` type is only used in two places: * As part of an `EndToEndCompileRequest`, where the settings on the `BackEndCompileRequest` can be configured, but only through the `EndToEndCompileRequest` * As part of on-demand code generation through the `IComponentType` APIs. In this case, the settings stored on the `BackEndCompileRequest` are not accessible to the application at all, and will always use their default values, so that instantiating a "request" object doesn't really make any sense. * The `FrontEndCompileRequest` type has a similar situation: * Front-end compilation as part of an `EndToEndCompileRequest` supports user configuration of `FrontEndCompileRequest` settings, but only through the `EndToEndCompileRequest` * Front-end compilation triggered by an `import` or a `loadModule()` call does not support user configuration of settings at all. It will always derive all relevant settings from thsoe on the session ("linkage"). In addition, subsequent changes have been made to the compiler that show a bit of a "code smell" and/or forward-looking worries for this decomposition: * In some cases we've had to add the same setting to multiple types in the breakdown (front-end, back-end, end-to-end, linkage, target, etc.) which makes it harder for us to validate that all the possible mixtures of state work correctly. * Related to the above, in some cases we have manual logic that copies state from one of the objects in the breakdown to another, in order to ensure that the user's intention is actually followed. * As a forward-looking concern, it seems that developers have sometimes added new configuration options and state to places that don't really make sense according to the rationale of the original decomposition (e.g., we probably don't want to have a lot of state that is only available via end-to-end requests, given that the API structure is meant to push users *away* from end-to-end compiles). As a result of all of the above, I've been planning a large refactor with the following big-picture goals: * Eliminate `BackEndCompileRequest` * Move all relevant state/options from the back-end request to the end-to-end request, since that is the only place they could be set anyway. * Introduce a transient "context" type to be used for the duration of code generation that serves the main functions that back-end requests really served in the codebase * Make `EndToEndCompileRequest` be a subclass of `FrontEndCompileRequest` * Consider addding a transient "context" type for front-end compiles that can be used in `import`-like cases rather than needing a full front-end request object. If this works, then eliminate `FrontEndCompileRequest` and be back to world with just a single `CompileRequest` type * Move *all* compiler configuration options to a distinct type (named something like `CompilerConfig` or `CompilerOptions` or whatever) which stores setting as key-value pairs, and has a notion of "inheritance" such that one configuration can extend or build on top of another. Make all the relevant types use this catch-all structure instead of redundantly storing flags in many places. This change deals with the first of those bullets: removeal of `BackEndCompileRequest`. The addition of the `CodeGenContext` type is perhaps an unncessary additional step, but making that change helps clean up a bunch of the code related to per-target code generation, so I think it is the right choice.
