11 //! Partitioning Codegen Units for Incremental Compilation
12 //! ======================================================
14 //! The task of this module is to take the complete set of translation items of
15 //! a crate and produce a set of codegen units from it, where a codegen unit
16 //! is a named set of (translation-item, linkage) pairs. That is, this module
17 //! decides which translation item appears in which codegen units with which
18 //! linkage. The following paragraphs describe some of the background on the
19 //! partitioning scheme.
21 //! The most important opportunity for saving on compilation time with
22 //! incremental compilation is to avoid re-translating and re-optimizing code.
23 //! Since the unit of translation and optimization for LLVM is "modules" or, how
24 //! we call them "codegen units", the particulars of how much time can be saved
25 //! by incremental compilation are tightly linked to how the output program is
26 //! partitioned into these codegen units prior to passing it to LLVM --
27 //! especially because we have to treat codegen units as opaque entities once
28 //! they are created: There is no way for us to incrementally update an existing
29 //! LLVM module and so we have to build any such module from scratch if it was
30 //! affected by some change in the source code.
32 //! From that point of view it would make sense to maximize the number of
33 //! codegen units by, for example, putting each function into its own module.
34 //! That way only those modules would have to be re-compiled that were actually
35 //! affected by some change, minimizing the number of functions that could have
36 //! been re-used but just happened to be located in a module that is
39 //! However, since LLVM optimization does not work across module boundaries,
40 //! using such a highly granular partitioning would lead to very slow runtime
41 //! code since it would effectively prohibit inlining and other inter-procedure
42 //! optimizations. We want to avoid that as much as possible.
44 //! Thus we end up with a trade-off: The bigger the codegen units, the better
45 //! LLVM's optimizer can do its work, but also the smaller the compilation time
46 //! reduction we get from incremental compilation.
48 //! Ideally, we would create a partitioning such that there are few big codegen
49 //! units with few interdependencies between them. For now though, we use the
50 //! following heuristic to determine the partitioning:
52 //! - There are two codegen units for every source-level module:
53 //! - One for "stable", that is non-generic, code
54 //! - One for more "volatile" code, i.e. monomorphized instances of functions
55 //! defined in that module
57 //! In order to see why this heuristic makes sense, let's take a look at when a
58 //! codegen unit can get invalidated:
60 //! 1. The most straightforward case is when the BODY of a function or global
61 //! changes. Then any codegen unit containing the code for that item has to be
62 //! re-compiled. Note that this includes all codegen units where the function
65 //! 2. The next case is when the SIGNATURE of a function or global changes. In
66 //! this case, all codegen units containing a REFERENCE to that item have to be
67 //! re-compiled. This is a superset of case 1.
69 //! 3. The final and most subtle case is when a REFERENCE to a generic function
70 //! is added or removed somewhere. Even though the definition of the function
71 //! might be unchanged, a new REFERENCE might introduce a new monomorphized
72 //! instance of this function which has to be placed and compiled somewhere.
73 //! Conversely, when removing a REFERENCE, it might have been the last one with
74 //! that particular set of generic arguments and thus we have to remove it.
76 //! From the above we see that just using one codegen unit per source-level
77 //! module is not such a good idea, since just adding a REFERENCE to some
78 //! generic item somewhere else would invalidate everything within the module
79 //! containing the generic item. The heuristic above reduces this detrimental
80 //! side-effect of references a little by at least not touching the non-generic
81 //! code of the module.
83 //! A Note on Inlining
84 //! ------------------
85 //! As briefly mentioned above, in order for LLVM to be able to inline a
86 //! function call, the body of the function has to be available in the LLVM
87 //! module where the call is made. This has a few consequences for partitioning:
89 //! - The partitioning algorithm has to take care of placing functions into all
90 //! codegen units where they should be available for inlining. It also has to
91 //! decide on the correct linkage for these functions.
93 //! - The partitioning algorithm has to know which functions are likely to get
94 //! inlined, so it can distribute function instantiations accordingly. Since
95 //! there is no way of knowing for sure which functions LLVM will decide to
96 //! inline in the end, we apply a heuristic here: Only functions marked with
97 //! #[inline] are considered for inlining by the partitioner. The current
98 //! implementation will not try to determine if a function is likely to be
99 //! inlined by looking at the functions definition.
101 //! Note though that as a side-effect of creating a codegen units per
102 //! source-level module, functions from the same module will be available for
103 //! inlining, even when they are not marked #[inline].
