- (TIME (ROOM T)) reports more than 200 Mbytes consed even for
- a clean, just-started SBCL system. And it seems to be right:
- (ROOM T) can bring a small computer to its knees for a *long*
- time trying to GC afterwards. Surely there's some more economical
- way to implement (ROOM T).
+ ROOM issues:
- Daniel Barlow doesn't know what fixed this, but observes that it
- doesn't seem to be the case in 0.8.7.3 any more. Instead, (ROOM T)
- in a fresh SBCL causes
+ a) ROOM works by walking over the heap linearly, instead of
+ following the object graph. Hence, it report garbage objects that
+ are unreachable. (Maybe this is a feature and not a bug?)
- debugger invoked on a SB-INT:BUG in thread 5911:
- failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
-
- unless a GC has happened beforehand.
+ b) ROOM uses MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS to walk the heap, which doesn't
+ check all pointers as well as it should, and can hence become
+ confused, leading to aver failures. As of 1.0.13.21 these (the
+ SAP= aver in particular) should be mostly under control, but push
+ ROOM hard enough and it still might croak.

When the compiler inline expands functions, it may be that different
(print (incf start 22))
(print (incf start 26))))))
+ [ Update: 1.0.14.36 improved this quite a bit (20-25%) by
+ eliminating useless work from PROPAGATE-FROM-SETS -- but as alluded
+ below, maybe we should be smarter about when to decide a derived
+ type is "good enough". ]

This example could be solved with clever enough constraint
propagation or with SSA, but consider
c. The cross-compiler cannot inline functions defined in a non-null
lexical environment.

-Analysis: + and a number of other arithmetic functions exhibit the
-same behaviour. Here's the underlying problem: On x86 we perform
-single-float + integer normally using double-precision, and then
-coerce the result back to single-float. (The FILD instruction always
-gives us a double-float, and unless we do MOVE-FROM-SINGLE it remains
-one. Or so it seems to me, and that would also explain the observed
-behaviour below.)
-
-During IR1 we derive the types for both
-
- (+ <single> <integer>) ; uses double-precision
- (+ <single> (FLOAT <integer> <single>)) ; uses single-precision
-
-and get a mismatch for a number of unlucky arguments. This leads to
-derived result type NIL, and ends up flushing the whole whole
-operation -- and finally we generate code without a return sequence,
-and fall through to whatever.
-
-The use of double-precision in the first case appears to be an
-(un)happy accident -- interval arithmetic gives us the
-double-precision result because that's what the backend does.

+ This appears to be an ancient bug, inherited from CMUCL: reportedly
