theraven 7f6f798074 Rewrote some of the class table code to be slightly cleaner. 16 years ago
theraven 3672f04ea3 Default to installing libobjc2 headers 16 years ago
qmathe 55a62b527f Removed unused variable that prevents compilation by being treated as an error 16 years ago
theraven 8a451d212c More dtable fixes - now the EtoileFoundation tests work when compiled with GCC too. Hopefully that's all of the irritating corner cases in category loading dealt with... 16 years ago
theraven e482b6986f More fixes for the new dtable. Now passing all of the EtoileFoundation tests, which do lots of things involving categories, so make a good stress test.
No longer installs headers by default.  This is because GNUstep Make notices when the objc headers have changed (because GNUstep includes them) and so reinstalling libobjc2 was requiring a complete recompile of anything that you tried to build, even if you only changed one line.  A better fix for this would be for install to use cmp or diff to check if the header has been modified before installing it, but I'm too lazy to do that right now.

theraven a692cbd4dd Fix some GCC warnings. Patch by TOM. 16 years ago
theraven a9bdab1f44 Reverted last commit - breaks the build with clang.
Fixed the definition of objc_msgSendSuper().

Tweaked the -dealloc implementation for hidden classes used for locking so that @synchronize(self) will work in a -dealloc method.

theraven 2efec09e39 Silence some warnings when compiling with GCC. Patch by TOM. 16 years ago
theraven 7a9b105817 Fixed missing ! in dtable construction code, which meant that class methods were being preferred to category methods. 16 years ago
theraven 0c8d2bd7b8 Added missing files. 16 years ago
theraven c40f9e84f2 Return NULL instead of "" from sel_getTypes_np() - matches behaviour of sel_get_types() and makes more sense. 16 years ago
theraven ded142ebff Add empty sarray.h - for some reason GNUstep is trying to #include this file (no idea why, as nothing in GNUstep actually uses anything from it). Adding an empty version should prevent breakage for now. 16 years ago
theraven 1a60fabf96 More 64-bit fixes. 16 years ago
theraven 060ddf89be Another 64-bit fix. 16 years ago
theraven bfbc15e4f7 Fix 64-bit warning. 16 years ago
theraven cc41e05598 Revert accidental changes to make file. 16 years ago
theraven d36b939232 Actually commit the new dtable implementation this time... 16 years ago
theraven b04cccf46b Fixed some issues in runtime.c when looking up methods. This fixes some issues with DO.
Removed GNU dtable and sparse array implementations, replaced entirely now with versions based on the Étoilé runtime.  Performance is roughly equivalent in microbenchmarks, memory usage is significantly lower (Gorm goes from 95MB to 50MB on my machine - this will be even more pronounced on 64-bit systems), which should improve cache usage considerably.  Still room for some performance tuning, however.
16 years ago
theraven 4be9799259 Unrolled the SparseArrayLookup loop. This means we only need one jump, instead of 2, which gives the same performance as the old GNU code and about half the memory usage. It's really, really, ugly code though - I need to teach the compiler to do this optimisation so I don't have to. 16 years ago
theraven 0d78186238 Some bug fixes and tidies.
I now have an out-of-tree replacement for the dtable stuff, so sarray.{h,c} will be going away soon.  The replacement offers similar (slightly worse currently) performance in microbenchmarks, but uses half as much memory (Gorm goes from 95MB to 48MB on my machine).  This will be committed once it's been tweaked a little bit.
16 years ago
theraven 0957cbe425 Factored out dtable stuff into dtable_legacy.c so that it can be replaced and so that we can do some profiling of the replacement to make sure it doesn't introduce performance regressions. 16 years ago
theraven 0045ce0cbd Install slot.h. 16 years ago
theraven 96de597b3c Mark string functions unused, in case the header is included in files that only use one of them. 16 years ago
theraven 7b8b3839df More refactoring. 16 years ago
theraven 2d84b96a72 Tidied up some bits by creating private headers for private data structures.
Imported selector table code frm the Étoilé runtime.  We can now make dispatch type dependent with a -D switch.  Not enabled yet, but it will be enabled in a warning mode soon - I consider preferable to the existing GNU and Apple solution of corrupting the stack.

theraven a6b5cd15dc Rename the library with the lib prefix so it can actually be linked sensibly. 16 years ago
qmathe 7656e1f9aa Commented out 'firstslot' unused variable, otherwise Clang reports it as an error. 16 years ago
theraven 96f51da81e Commented out some premature termination code. This is a bit of a hack; we're now repeatedly adding the same methods to dtables, which is ugly. We ought instead to be able to test if something is a lazy copy. 16 years ago
theraven 23447feca5 Profile-driven inlining of Objective-C methods. 16 years ago
theraven ede942cdd8 Simplified profiling even more. Now should allow inlining of manually-cached IMPs. 16 years ago
theraven 9ea9a6cf41 Made inlining conditional on inlining actually being sensible. 16 years ago
theraven 6a58d3d49d Added unfinished inliner that uses type feedback info to inline instance methods.
Made class method inliner also inline message sends to super.

Various updates caused by clang now attaching more sensible metadata to the IR.
16 years ago
theraven 160d1ce829 Added cachable version of the message-to-super lookup function. Clang now calls this in preference to the other one when -fobjc-nonfragile-abi is specified. 16 years ago
theraven 168a0d02e1 Revert last commit. Was fixing the wrong thing. 16 years ago
theraven 3f52e353ee Mark NSBlocks classes as resolved, so we don't crash trying to interpret the class pointers as strings... 16 years ago
theraven c425b1bfdc Initial (working) type feedback pass. Records the IMP for every message lookup. Note: This writes 3 words for every single message send, which means that it makes code VERY slow and can fill up the filesystem if you leave it enabled.
The aim of this pass is to identify message send sites which can benefit from speculative inlining and inline caching.  By itself, this pass is useless.  It will later be combined with one that parses this information and then uses the existing caching and inlining infrastructure to optimize hot message send sites.

Now, however, it's time for me to go and dance, so the useful bit will have to wait.

theraven 6459292a40 Simplified profiling system and enabled it by default. This should be safe, because it no longer depends on dladdr() and friends (which don't work reliably anywhere), and instead expects the profiling modules to register their own symbol table. 16 years ago
theraven 6cac2816cc Added speculative inlining of class messages. Currently inlines all that it can, without deciding whether it's sensible. 16 years ago
theraven beb8356367 Made ClassIMPCache a ModulePass (it shouldn't be a FunctionPass because it adds globals). 16 years ago
theraven 60f87bc4ad Removed debugging code that shouldn't have been in last commit.
Aside: Testing the two passes from the last commit shows that they provide about a factor of 10 speedup for class messages.
16 years ago
theraven 84b41a8464 Added -gnu-class-lookup-cache and -gnu-class-imp-cache passes. These add caching for class messages and also skip the class lookup (using the class symbol directly) where possible.
In combination, these make class messages marginally slower than function calls, rather than significantly slower than message sends.

theraven 352dfe2d93 Removed some unneeded #includes. 16 years ago
theraven 874ec4bd66 Fixed IMP cacher to not cache the slot if the lookup function changes the receiver (this could result in a method being called on the wrong receiver, which would just be confusing). 16 years ago
theraven dfc4a0286b Factored out code that performs IMP caching into a separate class. This can now be used by other passes that cache IMPs outside of loops (for example, always caching class messages because they always have the same receiver). 16 years ago
theraven 1918888ce1 Added LoopIMPCachePass. This pass automatically performs IMP caching on all loops.
Microbenchmark that just sends a message that does nothing 1000000000 times in a loop goes from taking 10.2 seconds to taking 4.7 after running the pass.

theraven 289d412dac Fixed lookup of superclass when superclass is nil. 16 years ago
theraven ce5b0e9f83 Added out-of-tree GCKit stuff. Still (very) work-in-progress. 16 years ago
rfm 7b535dcda4 Revert change ... leave objc_skip_offset() buggy for code which depends on that behavior. It's better just to avoid using it anywhere else. 16 years ago
rfm c8412c806d Fix objc_skip_offset() to avoid skipping and extra character 16 years ago
theraven 09ed66f819 Fixed use of uninitialized variable. 16 years ago
