r5e99a9a r95b3a9c 5 5 6 6 \section{Virtuals} 7 Virtual types and casts are not part of the exception system nor are they 8 required for an exception system. But an object-oriented style hierarchy is a 9 great way of organizing exceptions so a minimal virtual system has been added 10 to \CFA. 11 12 The pattern of a simple hierarchy was borrowed from object-oriented 13 programming was chosen for several reasons. 14 The first is that it allows new exceptions to be added in user code 15 and in libraries independently of each other. Another is it allows for 16 different levels of exception grouping (all exceptions, all IO exceptions or 17 a particular IO exception). Also it also provides a simple way of passing 18 data back and forth across the throw. 19 7 20 Virtual types and casts are not required for a basic exception-system but are 8 21 useful for advanced exception features. However, \CFA is not object-oriented so 9 there is no obvious concept of virtuals. 10 features for this work, I needed to design ed and implementeda virtual-like22 there is no obvious concept of virtuals. Hence, to create advanced exception 23 features for this work, I needed to design and implement a virtual-like 11 24 system for \CFA. 12 25 26 % NOTE: Maybe we should but less of the rational here. 13 27 Object-oriented languages often organized exceptions into a simple hierarchy, 14 28 \eg Java. … … 30 44 \end{center} 31 45 The hierarchy provides the ability to handle an exception at different degrees 32 of specificity (left to right). 46 of specificity (left to right). Hence, it is possible to catch a more general 33 47 exception-type in higher-level code where the implementation details are 34 48 unknown, which reduces tight coupling to the lower-level implementation. … … 61 75 While much of the virtual infrastructure is created, it is currently only used 62 76 internally for exception handling. The only user-level feature is the virtual 63 cast, which is the same as the \C C\lstinline[language=C++]|dynamic_cast|.77 cast, which is the same as the \Cpp \lstinline[language=C++]|dynamic_cast|. 64 78 \label{p:VirtualCast} 65 79 \begin{cfa} 66 80 (virtual TYPE)EXPRESSION 67 81 \end{cfa} 68 Note, the syntax and semantics matches a C-cast, rather than the unusual \CC 69 syntax for special casts.

The cast dynamically checks if the @EXPRESSION@ type 71 is the same or a subtype of @TYPE@, and if true, returns a pointer to the 82 Note, the syntax and semantics matches a C-cast, rather than the function-like 83 \Cpp syntax for special casts. Both the type of @EXPRESSION@ and @TYPE@ must be 84 a pointer to a virtual type. 85 The cast dynamically checks if the @EXPRESSION@ type is the same or a subtype 86 of @TYPE@, and if true, returns a pointer to the 72 87 @EXPRESSION@ object, otherwise it returns @0p@ (null pointer). 73 88 … … 78 93 79 94 Exceptions are defined by the trait system; there are a series of traits, and 80 if a type satisfies them, then it can be used as an exception. 95 if a type satisfies them, then it can be used as an exception. The following 81 96 is the base trait all exceptions need to match. 82 97 \begin{cfa} 83 98 trait is_exception(exceptT &, virtualT &) { 84 virtualT const & @get_exception_vtable@(exceptT *);99 virtualT const & get_exception_vtable(exceptT *); 85 100 }; 86 101 \end{cfa} 87 The function takes any pointer, including the null pointer, and returns a 88 reference to the virtual-table object. Defining this function also establishes 89 the virtual type and a virtual-table pair to the \CFA type-resolver and 90 promises @exceptT@ is a virtual type and a child of the base exception-type. 91 92 \PAB{I do not understand this paragraph.} 93 One odd thing about @get_exception_vtable@ is that it should always be a 94 constant function, returning the same value regardless of its argument. A 95 pointer or reference to the virtual table instance could be used instead, 96 however using a function has some ease of implementation advantages and allows 97 for easier disambiguation because the virtual type name (or the address of an 98 instance that is in scope) can be used instead of the mangled virtual table 99 name. Also note the use of the word ``promise'' in the trait 100 description. Currently, \CFA cannot check to see if either @exceptT@ or 101 @virtualT@ match the layout requirements. This is considered part of 102 @get_exception_vtable@'s correct implementation. 103 104 \section{Raise} 105 \CFA provides two kinds of exception raise: termination 106 \see{\VRef{s:Termination}} and resumption \see{\VRef{s:Resumption}}, which are 107 specified with the following traits. 102 The trait is defined over two types, the exception type and the virtual table 103 type. This should be one-to-one, each exception type has only one virtual 104 table type and vice versa. The only assertion in the trait is 105 @get_exception_vtable@, which takes a pointer of the exception type and 106 returns a reference to the virtual table type instance. 107 108 The function @get_exception_vtable@ is actually a constant function. 109 Recardless of the value passed in (including the null pointer) it should 110 return a reference to the virtual table instance for that type. 111 The reason it is a function instead of a constant is that it make type 112 annotations easier to write as you can use the exception type instead of the 113 virtual table type; which usually has a mangled name. 114 % Also \CFA's trait system handles functions better than constants and doing 115 % it this way reduce the amount of boiler plate we need. 116 117 % I did have a note about how it is the programmer's responsibility to make 118 % sure the function is implemented correctly. But this is true of every 119 % similar system I know of (except Agda's I guess) so I took it out. 120 121 There are two more traits for exceptions @is_termination_exception@ and 122 @is_resumption_exception@. They are defined as follows: 123 108 124 \begin{cfa} 109 125 trait is_termination_exception( 110 126 exceptT &, virtualT & | is_exception(exceptT, virtualT)) { 111 void @defaultTerminationHandler@(exceptT &);127 void defaultTerminationHandler(exceptT &); 112 128 }; 113 \end{cfa} 114 The function is required to allow a termination raise, but is only called if a 115 termination raise does not find an appropriate handler. 116 117 Allowing a resumption raise is similar. 118 \begin{cfa} 129 119 130 trait is_resumption_exception( 120 131 exceptT &, virtualT & | is_exception(exceptT, virtualT)) { 121 void @defaultResumptionHandler@(exceptT &);132 void defaultResumptionHandler(exceptT &); 122 133 }; 123 134 \end{cfa} 124 The function is required to allow a resumption raise, but is only called if a 125 resumption raise does not find an appropriate handler. 126 127 Finally there are three convenience macros for referring to the these traits: 128 @IS_EXCEPTION@, @IS_TERMINATION_EXCEPTION@ and @IS_RESUMPTION_EXCEPTION@. Each 129 takes the virtual type's name, and for polymorphic types only, the 130 parenthesized list of polymorphic arguments. These macros do the name mangling 131 to get the virtual-table name and provide the arguments to both sides 132 \PAB{What's a ``side''?} 135 136 In other words they make sure that a given type and virtual type is an 137 exception and defines one of the two default handlers. These default handlers 138 are used in the main exception handling operations \see{Exception Handling} 139 and their use will be detailed there. 140 141 However all three of these traits can be trickly to use directly. 142 There is a bit of repetition required but 143 the largest issue is that the virtual table type is mangled and not in a user 144 facing way. So there are three macros that can be used to wrap these traits 145 when you need to refer to the names: 146 @IS_EXCEPTION@, @IS_TERMINATION_EXCEPTION@ and @IS_RESUMPTION_EXCEPTION@. 147 148 All take one or two arguments. The first argument is the name of the 149 exception type. Its unmangled and mangled form are passed to the trait. 150 The second (optional) argument is a parenthesized list of polymorphic 151 arguments. This argument should only with polymorphic exceptions and the 152 list will be passed to both types. 153 In the current set-up the base name and the polymorphic arguments have to 154 match so these macros can be used without losing flexability. 155 156 For example consider a function that is polymorphic over types that have a 157 defined arithmetic exception: 158 \begin{cfa} 159 forall(Num | IS_EXCEPTION(Arithmetic, (Num))) 160 void some_math_function(Num & left, Num & right); 161 \end{cfa} 162 163 \section{Exception Handling} 164 \CFA provides two kinds of exception handling, termination and resumption. 165 These twin operations are the core of the exception handling mechanism and 166 are the reason for the features of exceptions. 167 This section will cover the general patterns shared by the two operations and 168 then go on to cover the details each individual operation. 169 170 Both operations follow the same set of steps to do their operation. They both 171 start with the user preforming a throw on an exception. 172 Then there is the search for a handler, if one is found than the exception 173 is caught and the handler is run. After that control returns to normal 174 execution. 175 176 If the search fails a default handler is run and then control 177 returns to normal execution immediately. That is where the default handlers 178 @defaultTermiationHandler@ and @defaultResumptionHandler@ are used. 133 179 134 180 \subsection{Termination} 135 181 \label{s:Termination} 136 182 137 Termination raise, called ``throw'', is familiar and used in most programming 138 languages with exception handling. The semantics of termination is: search the 139 stack for a matching handler, unwind the stack frames to the matching handler, 140 execute the handler, and continue execution after the handler. Termination is 141 used when execution \emph{cannot} return to the throw. To continue execution, 142 the program must \emph{recover} in the handler from the failed (unwound) 143 execution at the raise to safely proceed after the handler. 144 145 A termination raise is started with the @throw@ statement: 183 Termination handling is more familiar kind and used in most programming 184 languages with exception handling. 185 It is dynamic, non-local goto. If a throw is successful then the stack will 186 be unwound and control will (usually) continue in a different function on 187 the call stack. They are commonly used when an error has occured and recovery 188 is impossible in the current function. 189 190 % (usually) Control can continue in the current function but then a different 191 % control flow construct should be used. 192 193 A termination throw is started with the @throw@ statement: 146 194 \begin{cfa} 147 195 throw EXPRESSION; 148 196 \end{cfa} 149 The expression must return a termination-exception reference, where the150 termination exception has a type with a @void defaultTerminationHandler(T &)@151 (default handler) defined. The handler is found at the call site using \CFA's 152 trait system and passed into the exception system along with the exception 153 itself. 154 155 At runtime, a representation of the exception type and an instance of the 156 exception type is copied into managed memory (heap) to ensure it remains in 157 scope during unwinding. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the original 158 exception object at the throw is freed when it goes out of scope. Being 159 allocated on the stack is sufficient for this. 160 161 Then the exception system searches the stack starting from the throw and 162 proceeding towards the base of the stack, from callee to caller. At each stack 163 frame, a check is made for termination handlers defined by the @catch@ clauses 164 of a @try@ statement.197 The expression must return a reference to a termination exception, where the 198 termination exception is any type that satifies @is_termination_exception@ 199 at the call site. 200 Through \CFA's trait system the functions in the traits are passed into the 201 throw code. A new @defaultTerminationHandler@ can be defined in any scope to 202 change the throw's behavior (see below). 203 204 The throw will copy the provided exception into managed memory. It is the 205 user's responcibility to ensure the original exception is cleaned up if the 206 stack is unwound (allocating it on the stack should be sufficient). 207 208 Then the exception system searches the stack using the copied exception. 209 It starts starts from the throw and proceeds to the base of the stack, 210 from callee to caller. 211 At each stack frame, a check is made for resumption handlers defined by the 212 @catch@ clauses of a @try@ statement. 165 213 \begin{cfa} 166 214 try { 167 215 GUARDED_BLOCK 168 } @catch (EXCEPTION_TYPE$\(_1\)$ * NAME)@ { // termination handler 1216 } catch (EXCEPTION_TYPE$\(_1\)$ * NAME$\(_1\)$) { 169 217 HANDLER_BLOCK$\(_1\)$ 170 } @catch (EXCEPTION_TYPE$\(_2\)$ * NAME)@ { // termination handler 2218 } catch (EXCEPTION_TYPE$\(_2\)$ * NAME$\(_2\)$) { 171 219 HANDLER_BLOCK$\(_2\)$ 172 220 } 173 221 \end{cfa} 174 The statements in the @GUARDED_BLOCK@ are executed. If those statements, or any 175 functions invoked from those statements, throws an exception, and the exception 222 When viewed on its own a try statement will simply exceute the statements in 223 @GUARDED_BLOCK@ and when those are finished the try statement finishes. 224 225 However, while the guarded statements are being executed, including any 226 functions they invoke, all the handlers following the try block are now 227 or any functions invoked from those 228 statements, throws an exception, and the exception 176 229 is not handled by a try statement further up the stack, the termination 177 230 handlers are searched for a matching exception type from top to bottom. … … 179 232 Exception matching checks the representation of the thrown exception-type is 180 233 the same or a descendant type of the exception types in the handler clauses. If 181 there is a match, a pointer to the exception object created at the throw is 182 bound to @NAME@ and the statements in the associated @HANDLER_BLOCK@ are 183 executed. If control reaches the end of the handler, the exception is freed, 184 and control continues after the try statement. 185 186 The default handler visible at the throw statement is used if no matching 187 termination handler is found after the entire stack is searched. At that point, 188 the default handler is called with a reference to the exception object 189 generated at the throw. If the default handler returns, the system default 190 action is executed, which often terminates the program. This feature allows 191 each exception type to define its own action, such as printing an informative 192 error message, when an exception is not handled in the program. 234 it is the same of a descendent of @EXCEPTION_TYPE@$_i$ then @NAME@$_i$ is 235 bound to a pointer to the exception and the statements in @HANDLER_BLOCK@$_i$ 236 are executed. If control reaches the end of the handler, the exception is 237 freed and control continues after the try statement. 238 239 If no handler is found during the search then the default handler is run. 240 Through \CFA's trait system the best match at the throw sight will be used. 241 This function is run and is passed the copied exception. After the default 242 handler is run control continues after the throw statement. 243 244 There is a global @defaultTerminationHandler@ that cancels the current stack 245 with the copied exception. However it is generic over all exception types so 246 new default handlers can be defined for different exception types and so 247 different exception types can have different default handlers. 193 248 194 249 \subsection{Resumption} 195 250 \label{s:Resumption} 196 251 197 Resumption raise, called ``resume'', is as old as termination 198 raise~\cite{Goodenough75} but is less popular. In many ways, resumption is 199 simpler and easier to understand, as it is simply a dynamic call (as in 200 Lisp). The semantics of resumption is: search the stack for a matching handler, 201 execute the handler, and continue execution after the resume. Notice, the stack 202 cannot be unwound because execution returns to the raise point. Resumption is 203 used used when execution \emph{can} return to the resume. To continue 204 execution, the program must \emph{correct} in the handler for the failed 205 execution at the raise so execution can safely continue after the resume. 252 Resumption exception handling is a less common form than termination but is 253 just as old~\cite{Goodenough75} and is in some sense simpler. 254 It is a dynamic, non-local function call. If the throw is successful a 255 closure will be taken from up the stack and executed, after which the throwing 256 function will continue executing. 257 These are most often used when an error occured and if the error is repaired 258 then the function can continue. 206 259 207 260 A resumption raise is started with the @throwResume@ statement: … … 210 263 \end{cfa} 211 264 The semantics of the @throwResume@ statement are like the @throw@, but the 212 expression has a type with a @void defaultResumptionHandler(T &)@ (default 213 handler) defined, where the handler is found at the call site by the type 214 system. At runtime, a representation of the exception type and an instance of 215 the exception type is \emph{not} copied because the stack is maintained during 216 the handler search. 217 218 Then the exception system searches the stack starting from the resume and 219 proceeding towards the base of the stack, from callee to caller. At each stack 220 frame, a check is made for resumption handlers defined by the @catchResume@ 221 clauses of a @try@ statement. 265 expression has return a reference a type that satifies the trait 266 @is_resumption_exception@. The assertions from this trait are available to 267 the exception system while handling the exception. 268 269 At runtime, no copies are made. As the stack is not unwound the exception and 270 any values on the stack will remain in scope while the resumption is handled. 271 272 Then the exception system searches the stack using the provided exception. 273 It starts starts from the throw and proceeds to the base of the stack, 274 from callee to caller. 275 At each stack frame, a check is made for resumption handlers defined by the 276 @catchResume@ clauses of a @try@ statement. 222 277 \begin{cfa} 223 278 try { 224 279 GUARDED_BLOCK 225 } @catchResume (EXCEPTION_TYPE$\(_1\)$ * NAME)@ { // resumption handler 1280 } catchResume (EXCEPTION_TYPE$\(_1\)$ * NAME$\(_1\)$) { 226 281 HANDLER_BLOCK$\(_1\)$ 227 } @catchResume (EXCEPTION_TYPE$\(_2\)$ * NAME)@ { // resumption handler 2282 } catchResume (EXCEPTION_TYPE$\(_2\)$ * NAME$\(_2\)$) { 228 283 HANDLER_BLOCK$\(_2\)$ 229 284 } 230 285 \end{cfa} 231 The statements in the @GUARDED_BLOCK@ are executed. If those statements, or any 232 functions invoked from those statements, resumes an exception, and the 233 exception is not handled by a try statement further up the stack, the 234 resumption handlers are searched for a matching exception type from top to 235 bottom. (Note, termination and resumption handlers may be intermixed in a @try@ 236 statement but the kind of raise (throw/resume) only matches with the 237 corresponding kind of handler clause.) 238 239 The exception search and matching for resumption is the same as for 240 termination, including exception inheritance. The difference is when control 241 reaches the end of the handler: the resumption handler returns after the resume 242 rather than after the try statement. The resume point assumes the handler has243 corrected the problem so execution can safely continue.286 If the handlers are not involved in a search this will simply execute the 287 @GUARDED_BLOCK@ and then continue to the next statement. 288 Its purpose is to add handlers onto the stack. 289 (Note, termination and resumption handlers may be intermixed in a @try@ 290 statement but the kind of throw must be the same as the handler for it to be 291 considered as a possible match.) 292 293 If a search for a resumption handler reaches a try block it will check each 294 @catchResume@ clause, top-to-bottom. 295 At each handler if the thrown exception is or is a child type of 296 @EXCEPTION_TYPE@$_i$ then the a pointer to the exception is bound to 297 @NAME@$_i$ and then @HANDLER_BLOCK@$_i$ is executed. After the block is 298 finished control will return to the @throwResume@ statement. 244 299 245 300 Like termination, if no resumption handler is found, the default handler 246 visible at the resume statement is called, and the system default action is 247 executed. 248 249 For resumption, the exception system uses stack marking to partition the 250 resumption search. If another resumption exception is raised in a resumption 251 handler, the second exception search does not start at the point of the 252 original raise. (Remember the stack is not unwound and the current handler is 253 at the top of the stack.) The search for the second resumption starts at the 254 current point on the stack because new try statements may have been pushed by 255 the handler or functions called from the handler. If there is no match back to 256 the point of the current handler, the search skips\label{p:searchskip} the stack frames already 257 searched by the first resume and continues after the try statement. The default 258 handler always continues from default handler associated with the point where 259 the exception is created. 301 visible at the throw statement is called. It will use the best match at the 302 call sight according to \CFA's overloading rules. The default handler is 303 passed the exception given to the throw. When the default handler finishes 304 execution continues after the throw statement. 305 306 There is a global @defaultResumptionHandler@ is polymorphic over all 307 termination exceptions and preforms a termination throw on the exception. 308 The @defaultTerminationHandler@ for that throw is matched at the original 309 throw statement (the resumption @throwResume@) and it can be customized by 310 introducing a new or better match as well. 311 312 % \subsubsection? 313 314 A key difference between resumption and termination is that resumption does 315 not unwind the stack. A side effect that is that when a handler is matched 316 and run it's try block (the guarded statements) and every try statement 317 searched before it are still on the stack. This can lead to the recursive 318 resumption problem. 319 320 The recursive resumption problem is any situation where a resumption handler 321 ends up being called while it is running. 322 Consider a trivial case: 323 \begin{cfa} 324 try { 325 throwResume (E &){}; 326 } catchResume(E *) { 327 throwResume (E &){}; 328 } 329 \end{cfa} 330 When this code is executed the guarded @throwResume@ will throw, start a 331 search and match the handler in the @catchResume@ clause. This will be 332 call and placed on the stack on top of the try-block. The second throw then 333 throws and will seach the same try block and put call another instance of the 334 same handler leading to an infinite loop. 335 336 This situation is trivial and easy to avoid, but much more complex cycles 337 can form with multiple handlers and different exception types. 338 339 To prevent all of these cases we mask sections of the stack, or equvilantly 340 the try statements on the stack, so that the resumption seach skips over 341 them and continues with the next unmasked section of the stack. 342 343 A section of the stack is marked when it is searched to see if it contains 344 a handler for an exception and unmarked when that exception has been handled 345 or the search was completed without finding a handler. 260 346 261 347 % This might need a diagram. But it is an important part of the justification … … 276 362 \end{verbatim} 277 363 278 This resumption search-pattern reflect the one for termination, which matches 279 with programmer expectations. However, it avoids the \emph{recursive 280 resumption} problem. If parts of the stack are searched multiple times, loops 281 can easily form resulting in infinite recursion. 282 283 Consider the trivial case: 284 \begin{cfa} 285 try { 286 throwResume$\(_1\)$ (E &){}; 287 } catch( E * ) { 288 throwResume; 289 } 290 \end{cfa} 291 Based on termination semantics, programmer expectation is for the re-resume to 292 continue searching the stack frames after the try statement. However, the 293 current try statement is still on the stack below the handler issuing the 294 reresume \see{\VRef{s:Reraise}}. Hence, the try statement catches the re-raise 295 again and does another re-raise \emph{ad infinitum}, which is confusing and 296 difficult to debug. The \CFA resumption search-pattern skips the try statement 297 so the reresume search continues after the try, mathcing programmer 298 expectation. 364 The rules can be remembered as thinking about what would be searched in 365 termination. So when a throw happens in a handler; a termination handler 366 skips everything from the original throw to the original catch because that 367 part of the stack has been unwound, a resumption handler skips the same 368 section of stack because it has been masked. 369 A throw in a default handler will preform the same search as the original 370 throw because; for termination nothing has been unwound, for resumption 371 the mask will be the same. 372 373 The symmetry with termination is why this pattern was picked. Other patterns, 374 such as marking just the handlers that caught, also work but lack the 375 symmetry whih means there is more to remember. 299 376 300 377 \section{Conditional Catch} 301 Both termination and resumption handler-clauses may perform conditional matching: 302 \begin{cfa} 303 catch (EXCEPTION_TYPE * NAME ; @CONDITION@) 378 Both termination and resumption handler clauses can be given an additional 379 condition to further control which exceptions they handle: 380 \begin{cfa} 381 catch (EXCEPTION_TYPE * NAME ; CONDITION) 304 382 \end{cfa} 305 383 First, the same semantics is used to match the exception type. Second, if the 306 384 exception matches, @CONDITION@ is executed. The condition expression may 307 385 reference all names in scope at the beginning of the try block and @NAME@ 308 introduced in the handler clause. 309 matches. Otherwise, the exception search continues a t the next appropriate kind310 of handler clause in the try block.386 introduced in the handler clause. If the condition is true, then the handler 387 matches. Otherwise, the exception search continues as if the exception type 388 did not match. 311 389 \begin{cfa} 312 390 try { … … 322 400 remaining handlers in the current try statement. 323 401 324 \section{Reraise} 325 \label{s:Reraise} 402 \section{Rethrowing} 403 \colour{red}{From Andrew: I recomend we talk about why the language doesn't 404 have rethrows/reraises instead.} 405 406 \label{s:Rethrowing} 326 407 Within the handler block or functions called from the handler block, it is 327 408 possible to reraise the most recently caught exception with @throw@ or 328 @throwResume@, respective. 329 \begin{cfa} 330 catch( ... ) { 331 ... throw; // rethrow 409 @throwResume@, respectively. 410 \begin{cfa} 411 try { 412 ... 413 } catch( ... ) { 414 ... throw; 332 415 } catchResume( ... ) { 333 ... throwResume; // reresume416 ... throwResume; 334 417 } 335 418 \end{cfa} … … 341 424 handler is generated that does a program-level abort. 342 425 343 344 426 \section{Finally Clauses} 345 A @finally@ clause may be placed at the end of a @try@ statement. 427 Finally clauses are used to preform unconditional clean-up when leaving a 428 scope. They are placed at the end of a try statement: 346 429 \begin{cfa} 347 430 try { 348 431 GUARDED_BLOCK 349 } ... 350 }finally {432 } ... // any number or kind of handler clauses 433 ... finally { 351 434 FINALLY_BLOCK 352 435 } 353 436 \end{cfa} 354 The @FINALLY_BLOCK@ is executed when the try statement is unwound from the 355 stack, \ie when the @GUARDED_BLOCK@ or any handler clause finishes. Hence, the 356 finally block is always executed. 437 The @FINALLY_BLOCK@ is executed when the try statement is removed from the 438 stack, including when the @GUARDED_BLOCK@ finishes, any termination handler 439 finishes or during an unwind. 440 The only time the block is not executed is if the program is exited before 441 the stack is unwound. 357 442 358 443 Execution of the finally block should always finish, meaning control runs off 359 444 the end of the block. This requirement ensures always continues as if the 360 445 finally clause is not present, \ie finally is for cleanup not changing control 361 flow. 362 is forbidden. 446 flow. Because of this requirement, local control flow out of the finally block 447 is forbidden. The compiler precludes any @break@, @continue@, @fallthru@ or 363 448 @return@ that causes control to leave the finally block. Other ways to leave 364 449 the finally block, such as a long jump or termination are much harder to check, 365 and at best requiring additional run-time overhead, and so are discouraged. 450 and at best requiring additional run-time overhead, and so are mearly 451 discouraged. 452 453 Not all languages with exceptions have finally clauses. Notably \Cpp does 454 without it as descructors serve a similar role. Although destructors and 455 finally clauses can be used in many of the same areas they have their own 456 use cases like top-level functions and lambda functions with closures. 457 Destructors take a bit more work to set up but are much easier to reuse while 458 finally clauses are good for once offs and can include local information. 366 459 367 460 \section{Cancellation} … … 370 463 possible forwards the cancellation exception to a different stack. 371 464 465 Cancellation is not an exception operation like termination or resumption. 372 466 There is no special statement for starting a cancellation; instead the standard 373 library function @cancel_stack@ is called passing an exception. 374 raise, this exception is not used in matching only to pass information about467 library function @cancel_stack@ is called passing an exception. Unlike a 468 throw, this exception is not used in matching only to pass information about 375 469 the cause of the cancellation. 376 377 Handling of a cancellation depends on which stack is being cancelled. 470 (This also means matching cannot fail so there is no default handler either.) 471 472 After @cancel_stack@ is called the exception is copied into the exception 473 handling mechanism's memory. Then the entirety of the current stack is 474 unwound. After that it depends one which stack is being cancelled. 378 475 \begin{description} 379 476 \item[Main Stack:] 380 477 The main stack is the one used by the program main at the start of execution, 381 and is the only stack in a sequential program. Hence, when cancellation is 382 forwarded to the main stack, there is no other forwarding stack, so after the 383 stack is unwound, there is a program-level abort. 478 and is the only stack in a sequential program. Even in a concurrent program 479 the main stack is only dependent on the environment that started the program. 480 Hence, when the main stack is cancelled there is nowhere else in the program 481 to notify. After the stack is unwound, there is a program-level abort. 384 482 385 483 \item[Thread Stack:] 386 484 A thread stack is created for a @thread@ object or object that satisfies the 387 @is_thread@ trait. 485 @is_thread@ trait. A thread only has two points of communication that must 388 486 happen: start and join. As the thread must be running to perform a 389 cancellation, it must occur after start and before join, so join is a 390 cancellation point. After the stack is unwound, the thread halts and waits for 391 another thread to join with it. The joining thread, checks for a cancellation, 487 cancellation, it must occur after start and before join, so join is used 488 for communication here. 489 After the stack is unwound, the thread halts and waits for 490 another thread to join with it. The joining thread checks for a cancellation, 392 491 and if present, resumes exception @ThreadCancelled@. 393 492 … … 397 496 the exception is not caught. The implicit join does a program abort instead. 398 497 399 This semantics is for safety. One difficult problem for any exception system is 400 defining semantics when an exception is raised during an exception search: 401 which exception has priority, the original or new exception? No matter which 402 exception is selected, it is possible for the selected one to disrupt or 403 destroy the context required for the other. \PAB{I do not understand the 404 following sentences.} This loss of information can happen with join but as the 405 thread destructor is always run when the stack is being unwound and one 406 termination/cancellation is already active. Also since they are implicit they 407 are easier to forget about. 498 This semantics is for safety. If an unwind is triggered while another unwind 499 is underway only one of them can proceed as they both want to ``consume'' the 500 stack. Letting both try to proceed leads to very undefined behaviour. 501 Both termination and cancellation involve unwinding and, since the default 502 @defaultResumptionHandler@ preforms a termination that could more easily 503 happen in an implicate join inside a destructor. So there is an error message 504 and an abort instead. 505 \todo{Perhaps have a more general disucssion of unwind collisions before 506 this point.} 507 508 The recommended way to avoid the abort is to handle the intial resumption 509 from the implicate join. If required you may put an explicate join inside a 510 finally clause to disable the check and use the local 511 @defaultResumptionHandler@ instead. 408 512 409 513 \item[Coroutine Stack:] A coroutine stack is created for a @coroutine@ object 410 or object that satisfies the @is_coroutine@ trait. A coroutine only knows of 411 two other coroutines, its starter and its last resumer. The last resumer has 412 the tightest coupling to the coroutine it activated. Hence, cancellation of 413 the active coroutine is forwarded to the last resumer after the stack is 414 unwound, as the last resumer has the most precise knowledge about the current 415 execution. When the resumer restarts, it resumes exception 514 or object that satisfies the @is_coroutine@ trait. A coroutine only knows of 515 two other coroutines, its starter and its last resumer. Of the two the last 516 resumer has the tightest coupling to the coroutine it activated and the most 517 up-to-date information. 518 519 Hence, cancellation of the active coroutine is forwarded to the last resumer 520 after the stack is unwound. When the resumer restarts, it resumes exception 416 521 @CoroutineCancelled@, which is polymorphic over the coroutine type and has a 417 522 pointer to the cancelled coroutine. -

It is possible for clean-up code 28 run during an unwind to trigger another unwind that escapes the clean-up code 29 itself; such as a termination exception caught further down the stack or a 30 cancellation. There do exist ways to handle this but currently they are not 31 even detected and the first unwind will simply be forgotten, often leaving 32 it in a bad state. 33 \item 34 Also the exception system did not have a lot of time to be tried and tested. 35 So just letting people use the exception system more will reveal new 36 quality of life upgrades that can be made with time. 26 37 \end{itemize} 27 38 -

r5e99a9a r95b3a9c 102 102 \CFA language, developed by the Programming Language Group at the University of Waterloo, has a long history, with the initial language design in 1992 by Glen Ditchfield~\cite{Ditchfield92} and the first proof-of-concept compiler built in 2003 by Richard Bilson~\cite{Bilson03}. Many new features have been added to the language over time, but the core of \CFA's type-system --- parametric functions introduced by the @forall@ clause (hence the name of the language) providing parametric overloading --- remains mostly unchanged. 103 103 104 The current \CFA reference compiler, @cfa-cc@, is designed using the visitor pattern~\cite{vistorpattern} over an abstract syntax tree (AST), where multiple passes over the AST modify it for subsequent passes. @cfa-cc@ still includes many parts taken directly from the original Bilson implementation, which served as the starting point for this enhancement work to the type system. Unfortunately, the prior implementation did not provide the efficiency required for the language to be practical: a \CFA source file of approximately 1000 lines of code can take amultiple minutes to compile. The cause of the problem is that the old compiler used inefficient data structures and algorithms for expression resolution, which involved significant copying and redundant work.104 The current \CFA reference compiler, @cfa-cc@, is designed using the visitor pattern~\cite{vistorpattern} over an abstract syntax tree (AST), where multiple passes over the AST modify it for subsequent passes. @cfa-cc@ still includes many parts taken directly from the original Bilson implementation, which served as the starting point for this enhancement work to the type system.

The common solution to the single point of contention is to shard the ready-queue so each \gls{hthrd} can access the ready-queue without contention, increasing performance. 52 52 53 53 \subsection{Sharding} \label{sec:sharding} 54 An interesting approach to sharding a queue is presented in \cit{Trevors paper}. This algorithm presents a queue with a relaxed \glsxtrshort{fifo} guarantee using an array of strictly \glsxtrshort{fifo} sublists as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:base}. Each \emph{cell} of the array has a timestamp for the last operation and a pointer to a linked-list with a lock and each node in the list is marked with a timestamp indicating when it is added to the list. A push operation is done by picking a random cell, acquiring the list lock, and pushing to the list. If the cell is locked, the operation is simply retried on another random cell until a lock is acquired. A pop operation is done in a similar fashion except two random cells are picked. If both cells are unlocked with non-empty lists, the operation pops the node with the oldest celltimestamp. If one of the cells is unlocked and non-empty, the operation pops from that cell. If both cells are either locked or empty, the operation picks two new random cells and tries again.54 An interesting approach to sharding a queue is presented in \cit{Trevors paper}.

While this approach can offer good scalability \emph{and} low latency, the liveliness and discovery of the information can become a problem. This case is made worst in systems with few processors where even blind random picks can find \glspl{thrd} in a few tries. 101 101 102 I built a prototype of these approaches and none of these techniques offer satisfying performance when few threads are present. All of these approach hit the same 2 problems. First, randomly picking sub-queues is very fast but means any improvement to the hit rate can easily be countered by a slow-down in look-up speed when there are empty lists. Second, the array is already assharded to avoid contention bottlenecks, so any denser data structure tends to become a bottleneck. In all cases, these factors meant the best cases scenario, \ie many threads, would get worst throughput, and the worst-case scenario, few threads, would get a better hit rate, but an equivalent poor throughput. As a result I tried an entirely different approach.102 I built a prototype of these approaches and none of these techniques offer satisfying performance when few threads are present.

Various operating systems offer various forms of asynchronous operations and as mentioned in Chapter~\ref{intro}, this work is exclusively focuesd on Linux.1 \chapter{User Level \io} 2 As mentioned in Section~\ref{prev:io}, User-Level \io requires multiplexing the \io operations of many \glspl{thrd} onto fewer \glspl{proc} using asynchronous \io operations. Different operating systems offer various forms of asynchronous operations and as mentioned in Chapter~\ref{intro}, this work is exclusively focused on the Linux operating-system. 3 3 4 \section{ Existing options}5 Since \glsxtrshort{io} operations are generally handled by the4 \section{Kernel Interface} 5 Since this work fundamentally depends on operating-system support, the first step of any design is to discuss the available interfaces and pick one (or more) as the foundations of the non-blocking \io subsystem. 6 6 7 \subsection{\lstinline|epoll|, \lstinline|poll| and \lstinline|select|} 7 \subsection{\lstinline{O_NONBLOCK}} 8 In Linux, files can be opened with the flag @O_NONBLOCK@~\cite{MAN:open} (or @SO_NONBLOCK@~\cite{MAN:accept}, the equivalent for sockets) to use the file descriptors in ``nonblocking mode''. In this mode, ``Neither the @open()@ nor any subsequent \io operations on the [opened file descriptor] will cause the calling 9 process to wait''~\cite{MAN:open}. This feature can be used as the foundation for the non-blocking \io subsystem. However, for the subsystem to know when an \io operation completes, @O_NONBLOCK@ must be use in conjunction with a system call that monitors when a file descriptor becomes ready, \ie, the next \io operation on it does not cause the process to wait\footnote{In this context, ready means \emph{some} operation can be performed without blocking. It does not mean an operation returning \lstinline{EAGAIN} succeeds on the next try. For example, a ready read may only return a subset of bytes and the read must be issues again for the remaining bytes, at which point it may return \lstinline{EAGAIN}.}. 10 This mechanism is also crucial in determining when all \glspl{thrd} are blocked and the application \glspl{kthrd} can now block. 8 11 9 \subsection{Linux's AIO} 12 There are three options to monitor file descriptors in Linux\footnote{For simplicity, this section omits \lstinline{pselect} and \lstinline{ppoll}. The difference between these system calls and \lstinline{select} and \lstinline{poll}, respectively, is not relevant for this discussion.}, @select@~\cite{MAN:select}, @poll@~\cite{MAN:poll} and @epoll@~\cite{MAN:epoll}. All three of these options offer a system call that blocks a \gls{kthrd} until at least one of many file descriptors becomes ready. The group of file descriptors being waited is called the \newterm{interest set}. 10 13 14 \paragraph{\lstinline{select}} is the oldest of these options, it takes as an input a contiguous array of bits, where each bits represent a file descriptor of interest. On return, it modifies the set in place to identify which of the file descriptors changed status. This destructive change means that calling select in a loop requires re-initializing the array each time and the number of file descriptors supported has a hard limit. Another limit of @select@ is that once the call is started, the interest set can no longer be modified. Monitoring a new file descriptor generally requires aborting any in progress call to @select@\footnote{Starting a new call to \lstinline{select} is possible but requires a distinct kernel thread, and as a result is not an acceptable multiplexing solution when the interest set is large and highly dynamic unless the number of parallel calls to \lstinline{select} can be strictly bounded.}. 11 15 16 \paragraph{\lstinline{poll}} is an improvement over select, which removes the hard limit on the number of file descriptors and the need to re-initialize the input on every call. It works using an array of structures as an input rather than an array of bits, thus allowing a more compact input for small interest sets. Like @select@, @poll@ suffers from the limitation that the interest set cannot be changed while the call is blocked. 17 18 \paragraph{\lstinline{epoll}} further improves these two functions by allowing the interest set to be dynamically added to and removed from while a \gls{kthrd} is blocked on an @epoll@ call. This dynamic capability is accomplished by creating an \emph{epoll instance} with a persistent interest set, which is used across multiple calls. This capability significantly reduces synchronization overhead on the part of the caller (in this case the \io subsystem), since the interest set can be modified when adding or removing file descriptors without having to synchronize with other \glspl{kthrd} potentially calling @epoll@. 19 20 However, all three of these system calls have limitations. The @man@ page for @O_NONBLOCK@ mentions that ``[@O_NONBLOCK@] has no effect for regular files and block devices'', which means none of these three system calls are viable multiplexing strategies for these types of \io operations. Furthermore, @epoll@ has been shown to have problems with pipes and ttys~\cit{Peter's examples in some fashion}. Finally, none of these are useful solutions for multiplexing \io operations that do not have a corresponding file descriptor and can be awkward for operations using multiple file descriptors. 21 22 \subsection{POSIX asynchronous I/O (AIO)} 23 An alternative to @O_NONBLOCK@ is the AIO interface. Its interface lets programmers enqueue operations to be performed asynchronously by the kernel. Completions of these operations can be communicated in various ways: either by spawning a new \gls{kthrd}, sending a Linux signal, or by polling for completion of one or more operation. For this work, spawning a new \gls{kthrd} is counter-productive but a related solution is discussed in Section~\ref{io:morethreads}. Using interrupts handlers can also lead to fairly complicated interactions between subsystems. Leaving polling for completion, which is similar to the previous system calls. While AIO only supports read and write operations to file descriptors, it does not have the same limitation as @O_NONBLOCK@, \ie, the file descriptors can be regular files and blocked devices. It also supports batching multiple operations in a single system call. 24 25 AIO offers two different approach to polling: @aio_error@ can be used as a spinning form of polling, returning @EINPROGRESS@ until the operation is completed, and @aio_suspend@ can be used similarly to @select@, @poll@ or @epoll@, to wait until one or more requests have completed. For the purpose of \io multiplexing, @aio_suspend@ is the best interface. However, even if AIO requests can be submitted concurrently, @aio_suspend@ suffers from the same limitation as @select@ and @poll@, \ie, the interest set cannot be dynamically changed while a call to @aio_suspend@ is in progress. AIO also suffers from the limitation of specifying which requests have completed, \ie programmers have to poll each request in the interest set using @aio_error@ to identify the completed requests. This limitation means that, like @select@ and @poll@ but not @epoll@, the time needed to examine polling results increases based on the total number of requests monitored, not the number of completed requests. 26 Finally, AIO does not seem to be a popular interface, which I believe is due in part to this poor polling interface. Linus Torvalds talks about this interface as follows: 12 27 13 28 \begin{displayquote} 14 AIO is a horrible ad-hoc design, with the main excuse being "other,29 AIO is a horrible ad-hoc design, with the main excuse being ``other, 15 30 less gifted people, made that design, and we are implementing it for 16 31 compatibility because database people - who seldom have any shred of 17 taste - actually use it ".32 taste - actually use it''. 18 33 19 34 But AIO was always really really ugly. … … 24 39 \end{displayquote} 25 40 26 Interestingly, in this e-mail answer, Linus goes on to describe41 Interestingly, in this e-mail, Linus goes on to describe 27 42 ``a true \textit{asynchronous system call} interface'' 28 43 that does … … 30 45 in 31 46 ``some kind of arbitrary \textit{queue up asynchronous system call} model''. 32 This description is actually quite close to the interface of the interfacedescribed in the next section.47 This description is actually quite close to the interface described in the next section. 33 48 34 \subsection{\texttt{io\_uring}} 35 A very recent addition to Linux, @io_uring@\cit{io\_uring} is a framework that aims to solve many of the problems listed with the above mentioned solutions. 49 \subsection{\lstinline{io_uring}} 50 A very recent addition to Linux, @io_uring@~\cite{MAN:io_uring}, is a framework that aims to solve many of the problems listed in the above interfaces. Like AIO, it represents \io operations as entries added to a queue. But like @epoll@, new requests can be submitted while a blocking call waiting for requests to complete is already in progress. The @io_uring@ interface uses two ring buffers (referred to simply as rings) at its core: a submit ring to which programmers push \io requests and a completion ring from which programmers poll for completion. 51 52 One of the big advantages over the prior interfaces is that @io_uring@ also supports a much wider range of operations. In addition to supporting reads and writes to any file descriptor like AIO, it supports other operations like @open@, @close@, @fsync@, @accept@, @connect@, @send@, @recv@, @splice@, \etc. 53 54 On top of these, @io_uring@ adds many extras like avoiding copies between the kernel and user-space using shared memory, allowing different mechanisms to communicate with device drivers, and supporting chains of requests, \ie, requests that automatically trigger followup requests on completion. 36 55 37 56 \subsection{Extra Kernel Threads}\label{io:morethreads} 38 Finally, if the operating system does not offer a ny satisfying forms of asynchronous \glsxtrshort{io} operations, a solution is to fake it by creating a pool of \glspl{kthrd} and delegating operations to them in order to avoid blocking \glspl{proc}.57 Finally, if the operating system does not offer a satisfactory form of asynchronous \io operations, an ad-hoc solution is to create a pool of \glspl{kthrd} and delegate operations to it to avoid blocking \glspl{proc}, which is a compromise for multiplexing. In the worst case, where all \glspl{thrd} are consistently blocking on \io, it devolves into 1-to-1 threading. However, regardless of the frequency of \io operations, it achieves the fundamental goal of not blocking \glspl{proc} when \glspl{thrd} are ready to run. This approach is used by languages like Go\cit{Go} and frameworks like libuv\cit{libuv}, since it has the advantage that it can easily be used across multiple operating systems. This advantage is especially relevant for languages like Go, which offer a homogeneous \glsxtrshort{api} across all platforms. As opposed to C, which has a very limited standard api for \io, \eg, the C standard library has no networking. 39 58 40 59 \subsection{Discussion} 60 These options effectively fall into two broad camps: waiting for \io to be ready versus waiting for \io to complete. All operating systems that support asynchronous \io must offer an interface along one of these lines, but the details vary drastically. For example, Free BSD offers @kqueue@~\cite{MAN:bsd/kqueue}, which behaves similarly to @epoll@, but with some small quality of use improvements, while Windows (Win32)~\cit{https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/synchronous-and-asynchronous-i-o} offers ``overlapped I/O'', which handles submissions similarly to @O_NONBLOCK@ with extra flags on the synchronous system call, but waits for completion events, similarly to @io_uring@. 41 61 62 For this project, I selected @io_uring@, in large parts because to its generality. While @epoll@ has been shown to be a good solution for socket \io (\cite{DBLP:journals/pomacs/KarstenB20}), @io_uring@'s transparent support for files, pipes, and more complex operations, like @splice@ and @tee@, make it a better choice as the foundation for a general \io subsystem. 42 63 43 64 \section{Event-Engine} 65 An event engine's responsibility is to use the kernel interface to multiplex many \io operations onto few \glspl{kthrd}. In concrete terms, this means \glspl{thrd} enter the engine through an interface, the event engines then starts the operation and parks the calling \glspl{thrd}, returning control to the \gls{proc}. The parked \glspl{thrd} are then rescheduled by the event engine once the desired operation has completed. 66 67 \subsection{\lstinline{io_uring} in depth} 68 Before going into details on the design of my event engine, more details on @io_uring@ usage are presented, each important in the design of the engine. 69 Figure~\ref{fig:iouring} shows an overview of an @io_uring@ instance. 70 Two ring buffers are used to communicate with the kernel: one for submissions~(left) and one for completions~(right). 71 The submission ring contains entries, \newterm{Submit Queue Entries} (SQE), produced (appended) by the application when an operation starts and then consumed by the kernel. 72 The completion ring contains entries, \newterm{Completion Queue Entries} (CQE), produced (appended) by the kernel when an operation completes and then consumed by the application. 73 The submission ring contains indexes into the SQE array (denoted \emph{S}) containing entries describing the I/O operation to start; 74 the completion ring contains entries for the completed I/O operation. 75 Multiple @io_uring@ instances can be created, in which case they each have a copy of the data structures in the figure. 76 77 \begin{figure} 78 \centering 79 \input{io_uring.pstex_t} 80 \caption{Overview of \lstinline{io_uring}} 81 % \caption[Overview of \lstinline{io_uring}]{Overview of \lstinline{io_uring} \smallskip\newline Two ring buffer are used to communicate with the kernel, one for completions~(right) and one for submissions~(left). The completion ring contains entries, \newterm{CQE}s: Completion Queue Entries, that are produced by the kernel when an operation completes and then consumed by the application. On the other hand, the application produces \newterm{SQE}s: Submit Queue Entries, which it appends to the submission ring for the kernel to consume. Unlike the completion ring, the submission ring does not contain the entries directly, it indexes into the SQE array (denoted \emph{S}) instead.} 82 \label{fig:iouring} 83 \end{figure} 84 85 New \io operations are submitted to the kernel following 4 steps, which use the components shown in the figure. 86 \begin{enumerate} 87 \item 88 An SQE is allocated from the pre-allocated array (denoted \emph{S} in Figure~\ref{fig:iouring}). This array is created at the same time as the @io_uring@ instance, is in kernel-locked memory visible by both the kernel and the application, and has a fixed size determined at creation. How these entries are allocated is not important for the functioning of @io_uring@, the only requirement is that no entry is reused before the kernel has consumed it. 89 \item 90 The SQE is filled according to the desired operation. This step is straight forward, the only detail worth mentioning is that SQEs have a @user_data@ field that must be filled in order to match submission and completion entries. 91 \item 92 The SQE is submitted to the submission ring by appending the index of the SQE to the ring following regular ring buffer steps: \lstinline{buffer[head] = item; head++}. Since the head is visible to the kernel, some memory barriers may be required to prevent the compiler from reordering these operations. Since the submission ring is a regular ring buffer, more than one SQE can be added at once and the head is updated only after all entries are updated. 93 \item 94 The kernel is notified of the change to the ring using the system call @io_uring_enter@. The number of elements appended to the submission ring is passed as a parameter and the number of elements consumed is returned. The @io_uring@ instance can be constructed so this step is not required, but this requires elevated privilege.% and an early version of @io_uring@ had additional restrictions. 95 \end{enumerate} 96 97 \begin{sloppypar} 98 The completion side is simpler: applications call @io_uring_enter@ with the flag @IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS@ to wait on a desired number of operations to complete. The same call can be used to both submit SQEs and wait for operations to complete. When operations do complete, the kernel appends a CQE to the completion ring and advances the head of the ring. Each CQE contains the result of the operation as well as a copy of the @user_data@ field of the SQE that triggered the operation. It is not necessary to call @io_uring_enter@ to get new events because the kernel can directly modify the completion ring. The system call is only needed if the application wants to block waiting for operations to complete. 99 \end{sloppypar} 100 101 The @io_uring_enter@ system call is protected by a lock inside the kernel. This protection means that concurrent call to @io_uring_enter@ using the same instance are possible, but there is no performance gained from parallel calls to @io_uring_enter@. It is possible to do the first three submission steps in parallel, however, doing so requires careful synchronization. 102 103 @io_uring@ also introduces constraints on the number of simultaneous operations that can be ``in flight''. Obviously, SQEs are allocated from a fixed-size array, meaning that there is a hard limit to how many SQEs can be submitted at once. In addition, the @io_uring_enter@ system call can fail because ``The kernel [...] ran out of resources to handle [a request]'' or ``The application is attempting to overcommit the number of requests it can have pending.''. This restriction means \io request bursts may have to be subdivided and submitted in chunks at a later time. 104 105 \subsection{Multiplexing \io: Submission} 106 The submission side is the most complicated aspect of @io_uring@ and its design largely dictates the completion side. 107 108 While it is possible to do the first steps of submission in parallel, the duration of the system call scales with number of entries submitted. The consequence is that the amount of parallelism used to prepare submissions for the next system call is limited. Beyond this limit, the length of the system call is the throughput limiting factor. I concluded from early experiments that preparing submissions seems to take about as long as the system call itself, which means that with a single @io_uring@ instance, there is no benefit in terms of \io throughput to having more than two \glspl{hthrd}. Therefore the design of the submission engine must manage multiple instances of @io_uring@ running in parallel, effectively sharding @io_uring@ instances. Similarly to scheduling, this sharding can be done privately, \ie, one instance per \glspl{proc}, or in decoupled pools, \ie, a pool of \glspl{proc} use a pool of @io_uring@ instances without one-to-one coupling between any given instance and any given \gls{proc}. 109 110 \subsubsection{Pool of Instances} 111 One approach is to have multiple shared instances. \Glspl{thrd} attempting \io operations pick one of the available instances and submits operations to that instance. Since the completion will be sent to the same instance, all instances with pending operations must be polled continuously\footnote{As will be described in Chapter~\ref{practice}, this does not translate into constant CPU usage.}. Since there is no coupling between \glspl{proc} and @io_uring@ instances in this approach, \glspl{thrd} running on more than one \gls{proc} can attempt to submit to the same instance concurrently. Since @io_uring@ effectively sets the amount of sharding needed to avoid contention on its internal locks, performance in this approach is based on two aspects: the synchronization needed to submit does not induce more contention than @io_uring@ already does and the scheme to route \io requests to specific @io_uring@ instances does not introduce contention. This second aspect has an oversized importance because it comes into play before the sharding of instances, and as such, all \glspl{hthrd} can contend on the routing algorithm. 112 113 Allocation in this scheme can be handled fairly easily. Free SQEs, \ie, SQEs that aren't currently being used to represent a request, can be written to safely and have a field called @user_data@ which the kernel only reads to copy to CQEs. Allocation also requires no ordering guarantee as all free SQEs are interchangeable. This requires a simple concurrent bag. The only added complexity is that the number of SQEs is fixed, which means allocation can fail. This failure needs to be pushed up to the routing algorithm, \glspl{thrd} attempting \io operations must not be directed to @io_uring@ instances without any available SQEs. Ideally, the routing algorithm would block operations up-front if none of the instances have available SQEs. 114 115 Once an SQE is allocated, \glspl{thrd} can fill them normally, they simply need to keep track of the SQE index and which instance it belongs to. 116 117 Once an SQE is filled in, what needs to happen is that the SQE must be added to the submission ring buffer, an operation that is not thread-safe on itself, and the kernel must be notified using the @io_uring_enter@ system call. The submission ring buffer is the same size as the pre-allocated SQE buffer, therefore pushing to the ring buffer cannot fail\footnote{This is because it is invalid to have the same \lstinline{sqe} multiple times in the ring buffer.}. However, as mentioned, the system call itself can fail with the expectation that it will be retried once some of the already submitted operations complete. Since multiple SQEs can be submitted to the kernel at once, it is important to strike a balance between batching and latency. Operations that are ready to be submitted should be batched together in few system calls, but at the same time, operations should not be left pending for long period of times before being submitted. This can be handled by either designating one of the submitting \glspl{thrd} as the being responsible for the system call for the current batch of SQEs or by having some other party regularly submitting all ready SQEs, \eg, the poller \gls{thrd} mentioned later in this section. 118 119 In the case of designating a \gls{thrd}, ideally, when multiple \glspl{thrd} attempt to submit operations to the same @io_uring@ instance, all requests would be batched together and one of the \glspl{thrd} would do the system call on behalf of the others, referred to as the \newterm{submitter}. In practice however, it is important that the \io requests are not left pending indefinitely and as such, it may be required to have a current submitter and a next submitter. Indeed, as long as there is a ``next'' submitter, \glspl{thrd} submitting new \io requests can move on, knowing that some future system call will include their request. Once the system call is done, the submitter must also free SQEs so that the allocator can reused them. 120 121 Finally, the completion side is much simpler since the @io_uring@ system call enforces a natural synchronization point. Polling simply needs to regularly do the system call, go through the produced CQEs and communicate the result back to the originating \glspl{thrd}. Since CQEs only own a signed 32 bit result, in addition to the copy of the @user_data@ field, all that is needed to communicate the result is a simple future~\cite{wiki:future}. If the submission side does not designate submitters, polling can also submit all SQEs as it is polling events. A simple approach to polling is to allocate a \gls{thrd} per @io_uring@ instance and simply let the poller \glspl{thrd} poll their respective instances when scheduled. This design is especially convenient for reasons explained in Chapter~\ref{practice}. 122 123 With this pool of instances approach, the big advantage is that it is fairly flexible. It does not impose restrictions on what \glspl{thrd} submitting \io operations can and cannot do between allocations and submissions. It also can gracefully handle running out of resources, SQEs or the kernel returning @EBUSY@. The down side to this is that many of the steps used for submitting need complex synchronization to work properly. The routing and allocation algorithm needs to keep track of which ring instances have available SQEs, block incoming requests if no instance is available, prevent barging if \glspl{thrd} are already queued up waiting for SQEs and handle SQEs being freed. The submission side needs to safely append SQEs to the ring buffer, make sure no SQE is dropped or left pending forever, notify the allocation side when SQEs can be reused and handle the kernel returning @EBUSY@. Sharding the @io_uring@ instances should alleviate much of the contention caused by this, but all this synchronization may still have non-zero cost. 124 125 \subsubsection{Private Instances} 126 Another approach is to simply create one ring instance per \gls{proc}. This alleviate the need for synchronization on the submissions, requiring only that \glspl{thrd} are not interrupted in between two submission steps. This is effectively the same requirement as using @thread_local@ variables. Since SQEs that are allocated must be submitted to the same ring, on the same \gls{proc}, this effectively forces the application to submit SQEs in allocation order\footnote{The actual requirement is that \glspl{thrd} cannot context switch between allocation and submission. This requirement means that from the subsystem's point of view, the allocation and submission are sequential. To remove this requirement, a \gls{thrd} would need the ability to ``yield to a specific \gls{proc}'', \ie, park with the promise that it will be run next on a specific \gls{proc}, the \gls{proc} attached to the correct ring. This is not a current or planned feature of \CFA.}, greatly simplifying both allocation and submission. In this design, allocation and submission form a ring partitioned ring buffer as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:pring}. Once added to the ring buffer, the attached \gls{proc} has a significant amount of flexibility with regards to when to do the system call. Possible options are: when the \gls{proc} runs out of \glspl{thrd} to run, after running a given number of threads \glspl{thrd}, etc. 127 128 \begin{figure} 129 \centering 130 \input{pivot_ring.pstex_t} 131 \caption[Partitioned ring buffer]{Partitioned ring buffer \smallskip\newline Allocated sqes are appending to the first partition. When submitting, the partition is simply advanced to include all the sqes that should be submitted. The kernel considers the partition as the head of the ring.} 132 \label{fig:pring} 133 \end{figure} 134 135 This approach has the advantage that it does not require much of the synchronization needed in the shared approach. This comes at the cost that \glspl{thrd} submitting \io operations have less flexibility, they cannot park or yield, and several exceptional cases are handled poorly. Instances running out of SQEs cannot run \glspl{thrd} wanting to do \io operations, in such a case the \gls{thrd} needs to be moved to a different \gls{proc}, the only current way of achieving this would be to @yield()@ hoping to be scheduled on a different \gls{proc}, which is not guaranteed. Another problematic case is that \glspl{thrd} that do not park for long periods of time will delay the submission of any SQE not already submitted. This issue is similar to fairness issues which schedulers that use work-stealing mentioned in the previous chapter. 136 44 137 45 138 46 139 \section{Interface} 140 Finally, the last important part of the \io subsystem is it's interface. There are multiple approaches that can be offered to programmers, each with advantages and disadvantages. The new \io subsystem can replace the C runtime's API or extend it. And in the later case the interface can go from very similar to vastly different. The following sections discuss some useful options using @read@ as an example. The standard Linux interface for C is : 141 142 @ssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count);@. 143 144 \subsection{Replacement} 145 Replacing the C \glsxtrshort{api} 146 147 \subsection{Synchronous Extension} 148 149 \subsection{Asynchronous Extension} 150 151 \subsection{Interface directly to \lstinline{io_uring}} -

Figure~\ref{fig:system} shows an overview of the \CFA runtime, which allows programmers to tightly control parallelism.

Using these 1:1 threading operations in an M:N threading model means I/O operations block \glspl{proc} instead of \glspl{thrd}. While this can work in certain cases, it limits the number of concurrent operations to the number of \glspl{proc} rather than \glspl{thrd}. It also means deadlock can occur because all \glspl{proc} are blocked even if at least one \gls{thrd} is ready to run. A simple example of this type of deadlock would be as follows: 27 Prior to this work, the \CFA runtime did not add any particular support for \glsxtrshort{io} operations.

It also means deadlock can occur because all \glspl{proc} are blocked even if at least one \gls{thrd} is ready to run. A simple example of this type of deadlock would be as follows: 28 29 29 \begin{quote} 30 30 Given a simple network program with 2 \glspl{thrd} and a single \gls{proc}, one \gls{thrd} sends network requests to a server and the other \gls{thrd} waits for a response from the server. If the second \gls{thrd} races ahead, it may wait for responses to requests that have not been sent yet. In theory, this should not be a problem, even if the second \gls{thrd} waits, because the first \gls{thrd} is still ready to run and should be able to get CPU time to send the request. With M:N threading, while the first \gls{thrd} is ready, the lone \gls{proc} \emph{cannot} run the first \gls{thrd} if it is blocked in the \glsxtrshort{io} operation of the second \gls{thrd}. If this happen, the system is in a synchronization deadlock\footnote{In this example, the deadlocked could be resolved if the server sends unprompted messages to the client. However, this solution is not general and may not be appropriate even in this simple case.}. 31 31 \end{quote} 32 Therefore, one of the objective of this work is to introduce \emph{User-Level \glsxtrshort{io}}, like \glslink{uthrding}{User-Level \emph{Threading}} blocks \glspl{thrd} rather than \glspl{proc} when doing \glsxtrshort{io} operations, which entails multiplexing the \glsxtrshort{io} operations of many \glspl{thrd} onto fewer \glspl{proc}. This multiplexing requires that a single \gls{proc} be able to execute multiple I/O operations in parallel. This requirement cannot be done with operations that block \glspl{proc}, \ie \glspl{kthrd}, since the first operation would prevent starting new operations for its blocking duration. Executing I/O operations in parallel requires \emph{asynchronous} \glsxtrshort{io}, sometimes referred to as \emph{non-blocking}, since the \gls{kthrd} does not block.33 32 34 \section{Interoperating with C} 33 Therefore, one of the objective of this work is to introduce \emph{User-Level \glsxtrshort{io}}, like \glslink{uthrding}{User-Level \emph{Threading}} blocks \glspl{thrd} rather than \glspl{proc} when doing \glsxtrshort{io} operations, which entails multiplexing the \glsxtrshort{io} operations of many \glspl{thrd} onto fewer \glspl{proc}.

Therefore, it is possible for an unidentified library calls toblock a \gls{kthrd} leading to deadlocks in \CFA's M:N threading model, which would not occur in a traditional 1:1 threading model. Currently, all M:N thread systems interacting with UNIX without sandboxing suffer from this problem but manage to work very well in the majority of applications.

concurrent programming-language, designed as an evolutionary step forward for the C programming language. 147 150 The syntax of \CFA builds from C and should look immediately familiar to C/\Index*[C++]{\CC{}} programmers. 148 151 % Any language feature that is not described here can be assumed to be using the standard \Celeven syntax. 149 \CFA adds many modern programming-languagefeatures that directly lead to increased \emph{\Index{safety}} and \emph{\Index{productivity}}, while maintaining interoperability with existing C programs and achieving similar performance.152 \CFA adds many modern features that directly lead to increased \emph{\Index{safety}} and \emph{\Index{productivity}}, while maintaining interoperability with existing C programs and achieving similar performance. 150 153 Like C, \CFA is a statically typed, procedural (non-\Index{object-oriented}) language with a low-overhead runtime, meaning there is no global \Index{garbage-collection}, but \Index{regional garbage-collection}\index{garbage-collection!regional} is possible. 151 154 The primary new features include polymorphic routines and types, exceptions, concurrency, and modules. … … 157 160 instead, a programmer evolves a legacy program into \CFA by incrementally incorporating \CFA features. 158 161 As well, new programs can be written in \CFA using a combination of C and \CFA features. 162 In many ways, \CFA is to C as \Index{Scala}~\cite{Scala} is to Java, providing a vehicle for new typing and control-flow capabilities on top of a highly popular programming language allowing immediate dissemination. 159 163 160 164 \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}~\cite{c++:v1} had a similar goal 30 years ago, allowing object-oriented programming to be incrementally added to C. … … 165 169 For example, the following programs compare the C, \CFA, and \CC I/O mechanisms, where the programs output the same result. 166 170 \begin{center} 167

projects to commercial operating-systems. 213 217 This installation base and the programmers producing it represent a massive software-engineering investment spanning decades and likely to continue for decades more. 214 218 Even with all its problems, C continues to be popular because it allows writing software at virtually any level in a computer system without restriction. 215 For system programming, where direct access to hardware, storage management, and real-time issues are a requirement, C is usuallythe only language of choice.216 The TIOBE index~\cite{TIOBE} for February 202 0

revolutionary way. 233 237 \CC~\cite{C++14,C++} is an example of a similar project; 234 however, it largely extended the C language, and did not address m ostof C's existing problems.\footnote{%238 however, it largely extended the C language, and did not address many of C's existing problems.\footnote{% 235 239 Two important existing problems addressed were changing the type of character

examples of programming languages that took an evolutionary approach, where modern language-features (\eg objects, concurrency) are added and problems fixed within the framework of the existing language. … … 241 245 242 246 The result of this project is a language that is largely backwards compatible with \Index*[C11]{\Celeven{}}~\cite{C11}, but fixes many of the well known C problems while adding modern language-features. 243 To achieve these goals required a significant engineering exercise, where we had to ``think inside the existing C box''. 244 Without these significant extension to C, it is unable to cope with the needs of modern programming problems and programmers; 245 as a result, it will fade into disuse. 246 Considering the large body of existing C code and programmers, there is significant impetus to ensure C is transformed into a modern programming language. 247 To achieve these goals required a significant engineering exercise, \ie ``thinking \emph{inside} the C box''. 248 Considering the large body of existing C code and programmers, there is significant impetus to ensure C is transformed into a modern language. 247 249 While \Index*[C11]{\Celeven{}} made a few simple extensions to the language, nothing was added to address existing problems in the language or to augment the language with modern language-features. 248 250 While some may argue that modern language-features may make C complex and inefficient, it is clear a language without modern capabilities is insufficient for the advanced programming problems existing today. … … 251 253 \section{History} 252 254 253 The \CFA project started with \Index*{Dave Till}\index{Till, Dave}'s \Index*{K-W C}~\cite{Buhr94a,Till89}, which extended C with new declaration syntax, multiple return values from routines, and advanced assignment capabilities using the notion of tuples. 254 (See~\cite{Werther96} for similar work in \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}.) 255 The \CFA project started with \Index*{Dave Till}\index{Till, Dave}'s \Index*{K-W C}~\cite{Buhr94a,Till89}, which extended C with new declaration syntax, multiple return values from routines, and advanced assignment capabilities using the notion of tuples \see{\cite{Werther96} for similar work in \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}}. 255 256 The first \CFA implementation of these extensions was by \Index*{Rodolfo Esteves}\index{Esteves, Rodolfo}~\cite{Esteves04}. 256 257 257 258 The signature feature of \CFA is \emph{\Index{overload}able} \Index{parametric-polymorphic} functions~\cite{forceone:impl,Cormack90,Duggan96} with functions generalized using a ©forall© clause (giving the language its name): 258 259 \begin{cfa} 259 ®forall( otype T )®T identity( T val ) { return val; }260 int forty_two = identity( 42 ); §\C{// T is bound to int, forty\_two == 42}§260 @forall( otype T )@ T identity( T val ) { return val; } 261 int forty_two = identity( 42 ); $\C{// T is bound to int, forty\_two == 42}$ 261 262 \end{cfa} 262 263 % extending the C type system with parametric polymorphism and overloading, as opposed to the \Index*[C++]{\CC{}} approach of object-oriented extensions. 263 264 \CFA{}\hspace{1pt}'s polymorphism was originally formalized by \Index*{Glen Ditchfield}\index{Ditchfield, Glen}~\cite{Ditchfield92}, and first implemented by \Index*{Richard Bilson}\index{Bilson, Richard}~\cite{Bilson03}. 264 265 However, at that time, there was little interesting in extending C, so work did not continue. 265 As the saying goes, ``\Index*{What goes around, comes around.}'', and there is now renewed interest in the C programming language because of legacy code-bases, so the \CFA project has been restarted.266 As the saying goes, ``\Index*{What goes around, comes around.}'', and there is now renewed interest in the C programming language because of the legacy code-base, so the \CFA project was restarted in 2015. 266 267 267 268 … … 273 274 This feature allows \CFA programmers to take advantage of the existing panoply of C libraries to access thousands of external software features. 274 275 Language developers often state that adequate \Index{library support} takes more work than designing and implementing the language itself. 275 Fortunately, \CFA, like \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}, starts with immediate access to all exiting C libraries, and in many cases, can easily wrap library routines with simpler and safer interfaces, at very low cost.276 Fortunately, \CFA, like \Index*[C++]{\CC{}}, starts with immediate access to all exiting C libraries, and in many cases, can easily wrap library routines with simpler and safer interfaces, at zero or very low cost. 276 277 Hence, \CFA begins by leveraging the large repository of C libraries, and than allows programmers to incrementally augment their C programs with modern \Index{backward-compatible} features. 277 278 … … 286 287 287 288 double key = 5.0, vals[10] = { /* 10 sorted floating values */ }; 288 double * val = (double *)bsearch( &key, vals, 10, sizeof(vals[0]), comp ); §\C{// search sorted array}§289 double * val = (double *)bsearch( &key, vals, 10, sizeof(vals[0]), comp ); $\C{// search sorted array}$ 289 290 \end{cfa} 290 291 which can be augmented simply with a polymorphic, type-safe, \CFA-overloaded wrappers: … … 295 296 296 297 forall( otype T | { int ?<?( T, T ); } ) unsigned int bsearch( T key, const T * arr, size_t size ) { 297 T * result = bsearch( key, arr, size ); §\C{// call first version}§298 return result ? result - arr : size; } §\C{// pointer subtraction includes sizeof(T)}§299 300 double * val = bsearch( 5.0, vals, 10 ); §\C{// selection based on return type}§298 T * result = bsearch( key, arr, size ); $\C{// call first version}$ 299 return result ? result - arr : size; } $\C{// pointer subtraction includes sizeof(T)}$ 300 301 double * val = bsearch( 5.0, vals, 10 ); $\C{// selection based on return type}$ 301 302 int posn = bsearch( 5.0, vals, 10 ); 302 303 \end{cfa} … … 310 311 \begin{cfa} 311 312 forall( dtype T | sized(T) ) T * malloc( void ) { return (T *)malloc( sizeof(T) ); } 312 int * ip = malloc(); §\C{// select type and size from left-hand side}§313 int * ip = malloc(); $\C{// select type and size from left-hand side}$ 313 314 double * dp = malloc(); 314 315 struct S {...} * sp = malloc(); … … 319 320 However, it is necessary to differentiate between C and \CFA code because of name \Index{overload}ing, as for \CC. 320 321 For example, the C math-library provides the following routines for computing the absolute value of the basic types: ©abs©, ©labs©, ©llabs©, ©fabs©, ©fabsf©, ©fabsl©, ©cabsf©, ©cabs©, and ©cabsl©. 321 Whereas, \CFA wraps each of these routines into ones with the overloaded name ©abs©: 322 \begin{cfa} 323 char ®abs®( char ); 324 extern "C" { int ®abs®( int ); } §\C{// use default C routine for int}§ 325 long int ®abs®( long int ); 326 long long int ®abs®( long long int ); 327 float ®abs®( float ); 328 double ®abs®( double ); 329 long double ®abs®( long double ); 330 float _Complex ®abs®( float _Complex ); 331 double _Complex ®abs®( double _Complex ); 332 long double _Complex ®abs®( long double _Complex ); 333 \end{cfa} 334 The problem is the name clash between the library routine ©abs© and the \CFA names ©abs©. 335 Hence, names appearing in an ©extern "C"© block have \newterm*{C linkage}. 336 Then overloading polymorphism uses a mechanism called \newterm{name mangling}\index{mangling!name} to create unique names that are different from C names, which are not mangled. 337 Hence, there is the same need, as in \CC, to know if a name is a C or \CFA name, so it can be correctly formed. 338 There is no way around this problem, other than C's approach of creating unique names for each pairing of operation and types. 339 340 This example strongly illustrates a core idea in \CFA: \emph{the \Index{power of a name}}. 322 Whereas, \CFA wraps each of these routines into one overloaded name ©abs©: 323 \begin{cfa} 324 char @abs@( char ); 325 extern "C" { int @abs@( int ); } $\C{// use default C routine for int}$ 326 long int @abs@( long int ); 327 long long int @abs@( long long int ); 328 float @abs@( float ); 329 double @abs@( double ); 330 long double @abs@( long double ); 331 float _Complex @abs@( float _Complex ); 332 double _Complex @abs@( double _Complex ); 333 long double _Complex @abs@( long double _Complex ); 334 \end{cfa} 335 The problem is \Index{name clash} between the C name ©abs© and the \CFA names ©abs©, resulting in two name linkages\index{C linkage}: ©extern "C"© and ©extern "Cforall"© (default). 336 Overloaded names must use \newterm{name mangling}\index{mangling!name} to create unique names that are different from unmangled C names. 337 Hence, there is the same need as in \CC to know if a name is a C or \CFA name, so it can be correctly formed. 338 The only way around this problem is C's approach of creating unique names for each pairing of operation and type. 339 340 This example illustrates a core idea in \CFA: \emph{the \Index{power of a name}}. 341 341 The name ``©abs©'' evokes the notion of absolute value, and many mathematical types provide the notion of absolute value. 342 342 Hence, knowing the name ©abs© is sufficient to apply it to any type where it is applicable. … … 344 344 345 345 346 \section [Compiling a CFA Program]{Compiling a

1192 1245 1193 Grouping heterogeneous data into \newterm{aggregate}s (structure/union) is a common programming practice, and an aggregate can be further organized into more complex structures, such as

useful language design goal. 1267 1268 C allows unnamed nested aggregates that open their scope into the containing aggregate. 1269 This feature is used to group fields for attributes and/or with ©union© aggregates. 1270 \begin{cfa} 1271 struct S { 1272 struct { int g, h; } __attribute__(( aligned(64) )); 1273 int tag; 1274 union { 1275 struct { char c1, c2; } __attribute__(( aligned(128) ));

eliding \lstinline[language=C++]@this->@ because of lexical scoping. 1221 However, for other aggregate parameters, qualification is necessary: 1222 \begin{cfa} 1223 struct T { double m, n; }; 1224 int S::f( T & t ) { §\C{// multiple aggregate parameters}§ 1225 c; i; d; §\C{\color{red}// this--{\textgreater}.c, this--{\textgreater}.i, this--{\textgreater}.d}§ 1226 ®t.®m; ®t.®n; §\C{// must qualify}§ 1227 } 1228 \end{cfa} 1229 1230 To simplify the programmer experience, \CFA provides a ©with© statement (see Pascal~\cite[\S~4.F]{Pascal}) to elide aggregate qualification to fields by opening a scope containing the field identifiers. 1231 Hence, the qualified fields become variables with the side-effect that it is easier to optimizing field references in a block. 1232 \begin{cfa} 1233 void f( S & this ) ®with ( this )® { §\C{// with statement}§ 1234 c; i; d; §\C{\color{red}// this.c, this.i, this.d}§ 1292 In general, qualification is elided for the variables and functions in the lexical scopes visible from a member function. 1293 However, qualification is necessary for name shadowing and explicit aggregate parameters. 1294 \begin{cfa} 1295 struct T { 1296 char @m@; int @i@; double @n@;

qualification syntax in \CC, ©.©, ©->©, ©::©, which is confusing. 1308 1309 Since \CFA in not object-oriented, it has no implicit parameter with its implicit qualification. 1310 Instead \CFA introduces a general mechanism using the ©with© statement \see{Pascal~\cite[\S~4.F]{Pascal}} to explicitly elide aggregate qualification by opening a scope containing the field identifiers. 1311 Hence, the qualified fields become variables with the side-effect that it is simpler to write, easier to read, and optimize field references in a block. 1312 \begin{cfa} 1313 void f( S & this ) @with

1243 \end{cfa} 1244 1245 In detail, the ©with© statement has the form: 1246 \begin{cfa} 1247 §\emph{with-statement}§: 1248 'with' '(' §\emph{expression-list}§ ')' §\emph{compound-statement}§ 1249 \end{cfa} 1250 and may appear as the body of a function or nested within a function body. 1251 Each expression in the expression-list provides a type and object. 1252 The type must be an aggregate type. 1319 void g( S & s, T & t ) @with ( s, t )@ { $\C{// multiple aggregate parameters}$ 1320 c; @s.@i; d; $\C{// s.c, s.i, s.d}$ 1321 m; @t.@i; n; $\C{// t.m, t.i, t.n}$ 1322 } 1323 \end{cfa} 1324 where qualification is only necessary to disambiguate the shadowed variable ©i©. 1325 1326 In detail, the ©with© statement may appear as the body of a function or nested within a function body. 1327 The ©with© clause takes a list of expressions, where each expression provides an aggregate type and object. 1253 1328 (Enumerations are already opened.) 1254 The object is the implicit qualifier for the open structure-fields. 1255 1329 To open a pointer type, the pointer must be dereferenced to obtain a reference to the aggregate type. 1330 \begin{cfa} 1331 S * sp; 1332 with ( *sp ) { ... } 1333 \end{cfa} 1334 The expression object is the implicit qualifier for the open structure-fields. 1335 \CFA's ability to overload variables \see{\VRef{s:VariableOverload}} and use the left-side of assignment in type resolution means most fields with the same name but different types are automatically disambiguated, eliminating qualification. 1256 1336 All expressions in the expression list are open in parallel within the compound statement. 1257 1337 This semantic is different from Pascal, which nests the openings from left to right. 1258 1338 The difference between parallel and nesting occurs for fields with the same name and type: 1259 1339 \begin{cfa} 1260 struct S { int ®i®; int j; double m; } s, w; 1261 struct T { int ®i®; int k; int m; } t, w; 1262 with ( s, t ) { 1263 j + k; §\C{// unambiguous, s.j + t.k}§ 1264 m = 5.0; §\C{// unambiguous, t.m = 5.0}§ 1265 m = 1; §\C{// unambiguous, s.m = 1}§ 1266 int a = m; §\C{// unambiguous, a = s.i }§ 1267 double b = m; §\C{// unambiguous, b = t.m}§ 1268 int c = s.i + t.i; §\C{// unambiguous, qualification}§ 1269 (double)m; §\C{// unambiguous, cast}§ 1270 } 1271 \end{cfa} 1272 For parallel semantics, both ©s.i© and ©t.i© are visible, so ©i© is ambiguous without qualification; 1273 for nested semantics, ©t.i© hides ©s.i©, so ©i© implies ©t.i©. 1274 \CFA's ability to overload variables means fields with the same name but different types are automatically disambiguated, eliminating most qualification when opening multiple aggregates. 1275 Qualification or a cast is used to disambiguate. 1276 1277 There is an interesting problem between parameters and the function-body ©with©, \eg: 1278 \begin{cfa} 1279 void ?{}( S & s, int i ) with ( s ) { §\C{// constructor}§ 1280 ®s.i = i;® j = 3; m = 5.5; §\C{//

$\C{// unambiguous, q.m = 5.0}$ 1345 m = 1; $\C{// unambiguous, r.m = 1}$ 1346 int a = m; $\C{// unambiguous, a = r.i }$ 1347 double b = m; $\C{// unambiguous, b = q.m}$ 1348 int c = r.i + q.i; $\C{// disambiguate with qualification}$ 1349 (double)m; $\C{// disambiguate with cast}$ 1350 } 1351 \end{cfa} 1352 For parallel semantics, both ©r.i© and ©q.i© are visible, so ©i© is ambiguous without qualification; 1353 for nested semantics, ©q.i© hides ©r.i©, so ©i© implies ©q.i©. 1354 Pascal nested-semantics is possible by nesting ©with© statements. 1355 \begin{cfa} 1356 with ( r ) { 1357 i; $\C{// unambiguous, r.i}$ 1358 with ( q ) { 1359 i; $\C{// unambiguous, q.i}$ 1360 } 1361 } 1362 \end{cfa} 1363 A cast or qualification can be used to disambiguate variables within a ©with© \emph{statement}. 1364 A cast can be used to disambiguate among overload variables in a ©with© \emph{expression}: 1365 \begin{cfa} 1366 with ( w ) { ... } $\C{// ambiguous, same name and no context}$ 1367 with ( (Q)w ) { ... } $\C{// unambiguous, cast}$ 1368 \end{cfa} 1369 Because there is no left-side in the ©with© expression to implicitly disambiguate between the ©w© variables, it is necessary to explicitly disambiguate by casting ©w© to type ©Q© or ©R©. 1370 1371 Finally, there is an interesting problem between parameters and the function-body ©with©, \eg: 1372 \begin{cfa} 1373 void ?{}( S & s, int i ) with ( s ) { $\C{// constructor}$ 1374 @s.i = i;@ j = 3; m = 5.5; $\C{// initialize fields}$ 1281 1375 } 1282 1376 \end{cfa} … … 1291 1385 and implicitly opened \emph{after} a function-body open, to give them higher priority: 1292 1386 \begin{cfa} 1293 void ?{}( S & s, int ®i® ) with ( s ) ®with( §\emph{\color{red}params}§ )® { 1294 s.i = ®i®; j = 3; m = 5.5; 1295 } 1296 \end{cfa} 1297 Finally, a cast may be used to disambiguate among overload variables in a ©with© expression: 1298 \begin{cfa} 1299 with ( w ) { ... } §\C{// ambiguous, same name and no context}§ 1300 with ( (S)w ) { ... } §\C{// unambiguous, cast}§ 1301 \end{cfa} 1302 and ©with© expressions may be complex expressions with type reference (see Section~\ref{s:References}) to aggregate: 1303 % \begin{cfa} 1304 % struct S { int i, j; } sv; 1305 % with ( sv ) { §\C{// implicit reference}§ 1306 % S & sr = sv; 1307 % with ( sr ) { §\C{// explicit reference}§ 1308 % S * sp = &sv; 1309 % with (

1; j = 2; §\C{\color{red}// sv.i, sv.j}§ 1315 % } 1316 % \end{cfa} 1317 1318 In \Index{object-oriented} programming, there is an implicit first parameter, often names \textbf{©self©} or \textbf{©this©}, which is elided. 1319 \begin{C++} 1320 class C { 1321 int i, j; 1322 int mem() { §\C{\color{red}// implicit "this" parameter}§ 1323 i = 1; §\C{\color{red}// this->i}§ 1324 j = 2; §\C{\color{red}// this->j}§ 1325 } 1326 } 1327 \end{C++} 1328 Since \CFA is non-object-oriented, the equivalent object-oriented program looks like: 1329 \begin{cfa} 1330 struct S { int i, j; }; 1331 int mem( S & ®this® ) { §\C{// explicit "this" parameter}§ 1332 ®this.®i = 1; §\C{// "this" is not elided}§ 1333 ®this.®j = 2; 1334 } 1335 \end{cfa} 1336 but it is cumbersome having to write ``©this.©'' many times in a member. 1337 1338 \CFA provides a ©with© clause/statement (see Pascal~\cite[\S~4.F]{Pascal}) to elided the "©this.©" by opening a scope containing field identifiers, changing the qualified fields into variables and giving an opportunity for optimizing qualified references. 1339 \begin{cfa} 1340 int mem( S & this ) ®with( this )® { §\C{// with clause}§ 1341 i = 1; §\C{\color{red}// this.i}§ 1342 j = 2; §\C{\color{red}// this.j}§ 1343 } 1344 \end{cfa} 1345 which extends to multiple routine parameters: 1346 \begin{cfa} 1347 struct T { double m, n; }; 1348 int mem2( S & this1, T & this2 ) ®with( this1, this2 )® { 1349 i = 1; j = 2; 1350 m = 1.0; n = 2.0; 1351 } 1352 \end{cfa} 1353 1354 The statement form is used within a block: 1355 \begin{cfa} 1356 int foo() { 1357 struct S1 { ... } s1; 1358 struct S2 { ... } s2; 1359 ®with( s1 )® { §\C{// with statement}§ 1360 // access fields of s1 without qualification 1361 ®with s2® { §\C{// nesting}§ 1362 //

opening multiple structures, fields with the same name and type are ambiguous and must be fully qualified. 1372 For fields with the same name but different type, context/cast can be used to disambiguate. 1373 \begin{cfa} 1374 struct S { int i; int j; double m; } a, c; 1375 struct T { int i; int k; int m } b, c; 1376 with( a, b ) 1377 { 1378 } 1379 \end{cfa} 1380 1381 \begin{comment} 1382 The components in the "with" clause 1383 1384 with a, b, c { ... } 1385 1386 serve 2 purposes: each component provides a type and object. The type must be a 1387 structure type. Enumerations are already opened, and I think a union is opened 1388 to some extent, too. (Or is that just unnamed unions?) The object is the target 1389 that the naked structure-fields apply to. The components are open in "parallel" 1390 at the scope of the "with" clause/statement, so opening "a" does not affect 1391 opening "b", etc. This semantic is different from Pascal, which nests the 1392 openings. 1393 1394 Having said the above, it seems reasonable to allow a "with" component to be an 1395 expression. The type is the static expression-type and the object is the result 1396 of the expression. Again, the type must be an aggregate. Expressions require 1397 parenthesis around the components. 1398 1399 with( a, b, c ) { ... } 1400 1401 Does this now make sense? 1402 1403 Having written more CFA code, it is becoming clear to me that I *really* want 1404 the "with" to be implemented because I hate having to type all those object 1405 names for fields. It's a great way to drive people away from the language. 1406 \end{comment} 1387 void ?{}( S & s, int @i@ ) with ( s ) @with( $\emph{\R{params}}$ )@ { // syntax not allowed, illustration only 1388 s.i = @i@;
