Box `DiagnosticBuilder`. #64374

nnethercote · 2019-09-11T10:45:19Z

It's a large type -- 176 bytes on 64-bit. And it's passed around and
returned from a lot of functions, including within PResult.

This commit boxes it, which reduces memory traffic. In particular,
PResult shrinks to 16 bytes in the best case; this reduces instruction
counts by up to 2% on various workloads. The commit touches a lot of
lines but it's almost all trivial plumbing changes.

Is there a process by which you selected these specific cases to do the boxing?
Would it be detrimental to apply this change inside the DiagnosticBuilder type instead?

nnethercote · 2019-09-11T11:22:12Z

My strategy was "gotta box 'em all", because there's not much point only boxing some, and if you did, there isn't an obvious dividing line between boxed and non-boxed.

Boxing within DiagnosticBuilder would be possible. It would make DiagnosticBuilder itself a bit more complicated, but would avoid the sweeping DiagnosticBuilder to Box<DiagnosticBuilder> changes in the current commit.

Boxing within DiagnosticBuilder would be possible. It would make DiagnosticBuilder itself a bit more complicated, but would avoid the sweeping DiagnosticBuilder to Box<DiagnosticBuilder> changes in the current commit.

The main reason I would prefer to do an internal change is to make the developer UX better so that that "doing the wrong thing" is not possible here. I think I'd personally forget about your PR after a while and forget to do the manual boxing so not having to think about it would be neat.

Why is it memcpy'ed in the first place?
It looks large enough to be passed and returned by pointer in ABI.

Is it something that is supposed to be addressed by RVO, which rustc doesn't always do when it should right now?
If that's the case, then I'd prefer to make the box internal so it could be removed without touching all the users when RVO is fixed.

Indeed, and I would actually look at boxing the Diagnostic internally instead, or maybe just reducing it's size via some other optimizations.

I have updated the code to use an internal box. It made the patch much less invasive -- thanks for the suggestion, @Centril.

I don't know why RVO isn't being applied. I just go where the profiler tells me to, and it told me that lots of memcpys were happening because of PResult. I have added a comment about this.

I also fixed the mingw failure.
