throw error if a bare string literal is invalid UTF-8 #10

See this thread. This changes the behavior for bare string literals previously described in #4 to be the following:

  • all bytes < 0x80: ASCIIString
  • has bytes ≥ 0x80 and is valid UTF-8: UTF8String
  • invalid UTF-8: throws an error

The b"..." string form (see #11) will let you use string syntax with \x and \u to make byte arrays. If you want to make a UTF-8 string that contains invalid UTF-8, you can do something this:

UTF8String(b"\xff\xff")

Seems like this can be in 2.0, unless it is easy enough to do. Stefan?

Yeah, it turns out to be a pain in the ass to do from the C code (can't find the email thread, but it is).

Another possibly simpler way to handle this is to change the parser to disallow \x80 through \xff in bare string literals but to allow them in prefixed string literals, passing them through to implementing macro to decide whether to allow them or not. Throwing a syntax error from a macro is no problem, it's throwing a syntax error from C code called directly by the parser that's problematic. @JeffBezanson, can you do that?

Actually it makes sense anyway for the parser to give a syntax error on invalid utf-8 sequences in a string or anywhere else. The parser can also check in cases where it does unescaping, and the julia string macros can check when they do unescaping. In case of an error the macro should return an error expression, Expr(:error,{"msg"}) instead of throwing, to allow history to work properly.

Also this seems strange:

julia> "\\\""
"\\\""

julia> S"\\\""
"\""

Am I doing something wrong in the parser?

Also I see utf32.j is not in use. Can we get it in shape?

@StefanKarpinski

I could work on utf32.j and latin1.j or we could mothball them for the release. The main issue is that currently we don't actually have any support for reading files with different encodings. These aren't really useful without that.

There's definitely something funny going on with escape handling that's different for bare vs. prefixed or otherwise macro-handled strings. See issue #100. Pretty sure it's the same problem. I'm looking into it, but I'm not quite sure what's going wrong yet.

Ah, I was wrong, a macro can throw an error and it is automatically handled.

How does 6614948 not address all of this issue? Seems fully addressed to me.

Oh, I guess that's true since print_unescaped never generates invalid sequences. But we have this:

julia> "\x80"
syntax error: invalid utf-8 sequence

julia> "\x80$1"
"\u00801"

We have to do something else with \x and \000. In byte arrays, b"\x80", we clearly want \x to insert bytes. So to be consistent it should always insert bytes, and for strings this process is followed by a check to make sure all those bytes add up to valid utf-8.

@StefanKarpinski

Ah, yeah. That is still an issue. I'll add a check after constructing a new string. If we just disallowed the escapes above \x7f altogether checking UTF-8 validity would be unnecessary since there'd be no way to even express an invalid string. That would have to match between the parser and the str_S form though — shouldn't allow it in one and not the other.

@JeffBezanson

Yes that would also be a sensible approach. It's kind of a toss up. I prefer to err on the side of allowing as much as possible. You can enter anything, but we call a validation routine. It's "trust but verify" :)
The validation is needed anyway since the source file itself could contain invalid utf-8 even with no escape sequences present.

Plus, after fixing this we get byte array literals for free.

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):
```julia
abstract type CallInfo end
struct NoCallInfo <: CallInfo end
struct NewInstruction
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing} # if nothing, copy the line from previous statement in the insertion location
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
    end
end
@nospecialize
function NewInstruction(newinst::NewInstruction;
    stmt=newinst.stmt,
    type=newinst.type,
    info::CallInfo=newinst.info,
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing}=newinst.line,
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing}=newinst.flag)
    return NewInstruction(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
end
@Specialize

using BenchmarkTools

    stmt::Any
    type::Any

end
vkws = VirtualKwargs(nothing, Any, NoCallInfo())
newinst = NewInstruction(nothing, Any, NoCallInfo(), nothing, nothing)
runner(newinst, vkws) = NewInstruction(newinst; vkws.stmt, vkws.type, vkws.info)

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- add special SROA handling for `NamedTuple` generated by keyword sorter:
  With the change on `structdiff`, IR for a call with type-unstable
  keyword arguments after inlining would look like:
  ```
  %1 = tuple(a, b, c)::Tuple{Any, Any, Any}
  %2 = NamedTuple{(:a, :b, :c)(%1)::NamedTuple{(:a, :b, :c), _A} where _A<:Tuple{Any, Any, Any}
  %3  = Core.getfield(%2, :a)::Any
  %4  = Core.getfield(%2, :b)::Any
  %5  = Core.getfield(%2, :c)::Any
  [... other body of the keyword func ...]
  ```
  We can implement a bit hacky special handling within our SROA pass
  that checks if this definition (%2) is partly well-known `NamedTuple`
  construction, where its names are fully known, and also checks if its
  call argument (%1) is fully-known `tuple` call. In a case when the
  length of the `NamedTuple` names and the length of the arguments for
  the `tuple` call, we can safely replace those `getfield` calls with
  the corresponding `tuple` call argument, while letting the later DCE
  pass to delete the constructions of tuple and named-tuple altogether.

With these changes, the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor
is fairly optimized, like:
```julia

           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):
```julia
abstract type CallInfo end
struct NoCallInfo <: CallInfo end
struct NewInstruction
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing} # if nothing, copy the line from previous statement in the insertion location
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
    end
end
@nospecialize
function NewInstruction(newinst::NewInstruction;

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- Add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- Tweak the core `NamedTuple{names}(args::Tuple)` constructor so that it
  directly forms `:splatnew` allocation rather than redirects to the
  general `NamedTuple` constructor, that could be confused for abstract
  input tuple type.
- Improve `nfields_tfunc` accuracy as for abstract `NamedTuple` types.
  This improvement lets `inline_splatnew` to handle more abstract
  `NamedTuple`s, especially whose names are fully known but its fields
  tuple type is abstract.

Those improvements are combined to allow our SROA pass to optimize away
`NamedTuple` and `tuple` calls generated for keyword argument handling.
E.g. the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor is now fairly
optimized, like:
```julia
julia> Base.code_ircode((NewInstruction,Any,Any,CallInfo)) do newinst, stmt, type, info
           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):
```julia
abstract type CallInfo end
struct NoCallInfo <: CallInfo end
struct NewInstruction
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing} # if nothing, copy the line from previous statement in the insertion location
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
    end
end
@nospecialize
function NewInstruction(newinst::NewInstruction;
    stmt=newinst.stmt,
    type=newinst.type,
    info::CallInfo=newinst.info,
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing}=newinst.line,

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- Add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- Tweak the core `NamedTuple{names}(args::Tuple)` constructor so that it
  directly forms `:splatnew` allocation rather than redirects to the
  general `NamedTuple` constructor, that could be confused for abstract
  input tuple type.
- Improve `nfields_tfunc` accuracy as for abstract `NamedTuple` types.
  This improvement lets `inline_splatnew` to handle more abstract
  `NamedTuple`s, especially whose names are fully known but its fields
  tuple type is abstract.

Those improvements are combined to allow our SROA pass to optimize away
`NamedTuple` and `tuple` calls generated for keyword argument handling.
E.g. the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor is now fairly
optimized, like:
```julia
julia> Base.code_ircode((NewInstruction,Any,Any,CallInfo)) do newinst, stmt, type, info
           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):
```julia
abstract type CallInfo end
struct NoCallInfo <: CallInfo end
struct NewInstruction
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing} # if nothing, copy the line from previous statement in the insertion location
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
    end
end
@nospecialize
function NewInstruction(newinst::NewInstruction;
    stmt=newinst.stmt,
    type=newinst.type,
    info::CallInfo=newinst.info,
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing}=newinst.line,
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing}=newinst.flag)
    return NewInstruction(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
end
@Specialize

using BenchmarkTools
struct VirtualKwargs
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
end
vkws = VirtualKwargs(nothing, Any, NoCallInfo())
newinst = NewInstruction(nothing, Any, NoCallInfo(), nothing, nothing)
runner(newinst, vkws) = NewInstruction(newinst; vkws.stmt, vkws.type, vkws.info)
@benchmark runner($newinst, $vkws)

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- Add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- Tweak the core `NamedTuple{names}(args::Tuple)` constructor so that it
  directly forms `:splatnew` allocation rather than redirects to the
  general `NamedTuple` constructor, that could be confused for abstract
  input tuple type.
- Improve `nfields_tfunc` accuracy as for abstract `NamedTuple` types.
  This improvement lets `inline_splatnew` to handle more abstract
  `NamedTuple`s, especially whose names are fully known but its fields
  tuple type is abstract.

Those improvements are combined to allow our SROA pass to optimize away
`NamedTuple` and `tuple` calls generated for keyword argument handling.
E.g. the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor is now fairly
optimized, like:
```julia
julia> Base.code_ircode((NewInstruction,Any,Any,CallInfo)) do newinst, stmt, type, info
           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)
       end |> only

`@something` eagerly unwraps any `Some` given to it, while keeping the
variable between its arguments the same. This can be an issue if a
previously unpacked value is used as input to `@something`, leading to a
type instability on more than two arguments (e.g. because of a fallback
to `Some(nothing)`). By using different variables for each argument,
type inference has an easier time handling these cases that are isolated
to single branches anyway.

This also adds some comments to the macro, since it's non-obvious what
it does.

Benchmarking the specific case I encountered this in led to a ~2x
performance improvement on multiple machines.

E.g. this allows `finalizer` inlining in the following case:

function foreign_alloc(::Type{T}, length) where T
    ptr = Libc.malloc(sizeof(T) * length)
    ptr = Base.unsafe_convert(Ptr{T}, ptr)
    obj = ForeignBuffer{T}(ptr)
    return finalizer(obj) do obj
        Base.@assume_effects :notaskstate :nothrow
        foreign_buffer_finalized[] = true

However, this is still a WIP. Before merging, I want to improve EA's
precision a bit and at least fix the test case that is currently marked as
`broken`. I also need to check its impact on compiler performance.

Additionally, I believe this feature is not yet practical.
In particular, there is still significant room for improvement in the
following areas:
- EA's interprocedural capabilities: currently EA is performed ad-hoc
  for limited frames because of latency reasons, which significantly
  reduces its precision in the presence of interprocedural calls.
- Relaxing the `:nothrow` check for finalizer inlining: the current
  algorithm requires `:nothrow`-ness on all paths from the allocation of
  the mutable struct to its last use, which is not practical for
  real-world cases. Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary
  optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use
  might still be possible.

However, this is still a WIP. Before merging, I want to improve EA's
precision a bit and at least fix the test case that is currently marked as
`broken`. I also need to check its impact on compiler performance.

Additionally, I believe this feature is not yet practical.
In particular, there is still significant room for improvement in the
following areas:
- EA's interprocedural capabilities: currently EA is performed ad-hoc
  for limited frames because of latency reasons, which significantly
  reduces its precision in the presence of interprocedural calls.
- Relaxing the `:nothrow` check for finalizer inlining: the current
  algorithm requires `:nothrow`-ness on all paths from the allocation of
  the mutable struct to its last use, which is not practical for
  real-world cases. Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary
  optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use
  might still be possible.

However, this is still a WIP. Before merging, I want to improve EA's
precision a bit and at least fix the test case that is currently marked as
`broken`. I also need to check its impact on compiler performance.

Additionally, I believe this feature is not yet practical.
In particular, there is still significant room for improvement in the
following areas:
- EA's interprocedural capabilities: currently EA is performed ad-hoc
  for limited frames because of latency reasons, which significantly
  reduces its precision in the presence of interprocedural calls.
- Relaxing the `:nothrow` check for finalizer inlining: the current
  algorithm requires `:nothrow`-ness on all paths from the allocation of
  the mutable struct to its last use, which is not practical for
  real-world cases. Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary
  optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use
  might still be possible.

Additionally, I believe this feature is not yet practical. In
particular, there is still significant room for improvement in the
following areas:
- EA's interprocedural capabilities: currently EA is performed ad-hoc
for limited frames because of latency reasons, which significantly
reduces its precision in the presence of interprocedural calls.
- Relaxing the `:nothrow` check for finalizer inlining: the current
algorithm requires `:nothrow`-ness on all paths from the allocation of
the mutable struct to its last use, which is not practical for
real-world cases. Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary
optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use
might still be possible (#55990).

Should fix #51818.

MWE:

```julia
function testme()
     X = @noinline rand(1_000_000_00)
     Y = @noinline sum(X)
     X = nothing
     GC.gc()
     return Y
 end
```

Note that it now stores a `NULL` in the GC frame before calling
`jl_gc_collect`.

Before:

```llvm
; Function Signature: testme()
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:3 within `testme`
define double @julia_testme_535() #0 {
top:
  %gcframe1 = alloca [3 x ptr], align 16
  call void @llvm.memset.p0.i64(ptr align 16 %gcframe1, i8 0, i64 24, i1 true)
  %pgcstack = call ptr inttoptr (i64 6595051180 to ptr)(i64 262) #10
  store i64 4, ptr %gcframe1, align 16
  %task.gcstack = load ptr, ptr %pgcstack, align 8
  %frame.prev = getelementptr inbounds ptr, ptr %gcframe1, i64 1
  store ptr %task.gcstack, ptr %frame.prev, align 8
  store ptr %gcframe1, ptr %pgcstack, align 8
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:4 within `testme`
  %0 = call nonnull ptr @j_rand_539(i64 signext 100000000)
  %gc_slot_addr_0 = getelementptr inbounds ptr, ptr %gcframe1, i64 2
  store ptr %0, ptr %gc_slot_addr_0, align 16
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:5 within `testme`
  %1 = call double @j_sum_541(ptr nonnull %0)
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:7 within `testme`
; ┌ @ gcutils.jl:132 within `gc` @ gcutils.jl:132
   call void @jlplt_ijl_gc_collect_543_got.jit(i32 1)
   %frame.prev4 = load ptr, ptr %frame.prev, align 8
   store ptr %frame.prev4, ptr %pgcstack, align 8
; └
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:8 within `testme`
  ret double %1
}
```

After:

```llvm
; Function Signature: testme()
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:3 within `testme`
define double @julia_testme_752() #0 {
top:
  %gcframe1 = alloca [3 x ptr], align 16
  call void @llvm.memset.p0.i64(ptr align 16 %gcframe1, i8 0, i64 24, i1 true)
  %pgcstack = call ptr inttoptr (i64 6595051180 to ptr)(i64 262) #10
  store i64 4, ptr %gcframe1, align 16
  %task.gcstack = load ptr, ptr %pgcstack, align 8
  %frame.prev = getelementptr inbounds ptr, ptr %gcframe1, i64 1
  store ptr %task.gcstack, ptr %frame.prev, align 8
  store ptr %gcframe1, ptr %pgcstack, align 8
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:4 within `testme`
  %0 = call nonnull ptr @j_rand_756(i64 signext 100000000)
  %gc_slot_addr_0 = getelementptr inbounds ptr, ptr %gcframe1, i64 2
  store ptr %0, ptr %gc_slot_addr_0, align 16
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:5 within `testme`
  %1 = call double @j_sum_758(ptr nonnull %0)
  store ptr null, ptr %gc_slot_addr_0, align 16
;  @ /Users/dnetto/Personal/test.jl:7 within `testme`
; ┌ @ gcutils.jl:132 within `gc` @ gcutils.jl:132
   call void @jlplt_ijl_gc_collect_760_got.jit(i32 1)
   %frame.prev6 = load ptr, ptr %frame.prev, align 8
   store ptr %frame.prev6, ptr %pgcstack, align 8
; └

  ret double %1
}
