install make target #6
Comments
I feel comfortable that in the 1.0 release, people just build and run out of the source directory as we do now. To install in /usr/local and have a stable + dev copy may require us to do a fair amount of testing with JULIA_HOME, paths etc. In my opinion, this can be 2.0. |

I reopened this because no one besides Viral knows how this works and I'm not clear that it fully does. The intention of an install target is that you can build, make install, and then delete the build directory and have a standalone installation that continues to work without the source code, containing just the necessary executables and libraries. |
It installs a working copy of julia in DESTDIR. DESTDIR is a standard variable used by autoconf and such, and also by the debian build system. So yes, you can do Can you try it out, and once satisfied, close it? |
Sure. We should probably default to |
Using /usr/share on debian and /usr/local elsewhere is a bit of a kludge, since you have to look for /etc/debian_version and do something different on debian. Also, people may not always have root access. In such cases, we could take the view that DESTDIR has to be explicitly passed. -viral On Jan 8, 2012, at 11:40 PM, Stefan Karpinski wrote:

The Debian build process needs to invoke the install target, the way it is now. -viral On 09-Jan-2012, at 1:58 AM, Stefan [email protected] wrote:

Maybe we are getting to the point where we should start using autotools. -viral On 09-Jan-2012, at 1:58 AM, Stefan [email protected] wrote:

Ugh. Autotools is the worst. What would it provide us with? On Jan 8, 2012, at 4:27 PM, "Viral B. Shah"[email protected] wrote:

A lot of other build tools understand autotools, and everyone understands how to use it, interfaces etc. That would be the only reason to use it. -viral On Jan 9, 2012, at 3:35 AM, Stefan Karpinski wrote:

Update the Makefile's install target to not use rm, cp, etc. and instead use the install command. The default install path is $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/julia. In case DESTDIR is not specified during make, the installation happens in /usr/share/julia. I would have liked this to be /usr/local/julia instead, but the debian package creation scripts do not like this, and it calls the install target in the Makefile to create the package. I think /usr/share/julia is acceptable as a default for the time being. I believe this sufficiently addresses issue #6 even though the solution is not completely satisfactory.
As of commit 7dca4d7, we now have an install target that can be used by calling The install target installs in $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/julia/, whereas the tarball creates all files in ./julia. I think this just about takes care of everything discussed in this issue. |
This is part of the work to address JuliaLang#51352 by attempting to allow the compiler to perform SRAO on persistent data structures like `PersistentDict` as if they were regular immutable data structures. These sorts of data structures have very complicated internals (with lots of mutation, memory sharing, etc.), but a relatively simple interface. As such, it is unlikely that our compiler will have sufficient power to optimize this interface by analyzing the implementation. We thus need to come up with some other mechanism that gives the compiler license to perform the requisite optimization. One way would be to just hardcode `PersistentDict` into the compiler, optimizing it like any of the other builtin datatypes. However, this is of course very unsatisfying. At the other end of the spectrum would be something like a generic rewrite rule system (e-graphs anyone?) that would let the PersistentDict implementation declare its interface to the compiler and the compiler would use this for optimization (in a perfect world, the actual rewrite would then be checked using some sort of formal methods). I think that would be interesting, but we're very far from even being able to design something like that (at least in Base - experiments with external AbstractInterpreters in this direction are encouraged). This PR tries to come up with a reasonable middle ground, where the compiler gets some knowledge of the protocol hardcoded without having to know about the implementation details of the data structure. The basic ideas is that `Core` provides some magic generic functions that implementations can extend. Semantically, they are not special. They dispatch as usual, and implementations are expected to work properly even in the absence of any compiler optimizations. However, the compiler is semantically permitted to perform structural optimization using these magic generic functions. In the concrete case, this PR introduces the `KeyValue` interface which consists of two generic functions, `get` and `set`. The core optimization is that the compiler is allowed to rewrite any occurrence of `get(set(x, k, v), k)` into `v` without additional legality checks. In particular, the compiler performs no type checks, conversions, etc. The higher level implementation code is expected to do all that. This approach closely matches the general direction we've been taking in external AbstractInterpreters for embedding additional semantics and optimization opportunities into Julia code (although we generally use methods there, rather than full generic functions), so I think we have some evidence that this sort of approach works reasonably well. Nevertheless, this is certainly an experiment and the interface is explicitly declared unstable. ## Current Status This is fully working and implemented, but the optimization currently bails on anything but the simplest cases. Filling all those cases in is not particularly hard, but should be done along with a more invasive refactoring of SROA, so we should figure out the general direction here first and then we can finish all that up in a follow-up cleanup. ## Obligatory benchmark Before: ``` julia> using BenchmarkTools julia> function foo() a = Base.PersistentDict(:a => 1) return a[:a] end foo (generic function with 1 method) julia> @benchmark foo() BenchmarkTools.Trial: 10000 samples with 993 evaluations.

`@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. 1.10-beta3/master: ``` [sukera@tower 01]$ jl1100 -q --project=. -L 01.jl -e 'bench()' v"1.10.0-beta3" BenchmarkTools.Trial: 10000 samples with 1 evaluation.

Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use might still be possible.

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.

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.

You should be able to do
make install
and have a compiled copy of all of julia installed on a system. The default location should be under/usr/local
but should be configurable. It would be nice even for us developers to have both an installed (unbroken) copy of julia and have the development copy still live in the repo directory. That way when the development version is broken, you can still use julia for other stuff.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
