* The modules an app ran are freed (research 115's next step): every app's ↵eunhhu38 hours7-4/+323
| | | | module a Loaded with holds (each snapshot of it, each request read with it); one replaced is retired and freed on the apps thread once no app runs it, every connection thread has begun a pass since (woken for it), and nothing holds it; who keeps a module to ask later whether it is the same asks its serial (core: PureModule.serial, a reader's module_serial, pure_snapshot_module, pure_snapshot_release says it freed; serve: routes, groups, links, bindings, queries, the published snapshot), as an address may come back; a link binds under its receiver's lock, a link naming an input under binding_lock; 030's memory.py: 4,000 changes 0 bytes a change (was 19,284), 4,100 freed; stress.py: readers, view workers, push streams and a body across changes, 586 of 600 loads at a freed module's address, every answer right, ASan 1,000 changes clean; a push group that looked while its app resumed missed the new snapshot (published before the app took requests) and waited for its next save: woken again once it takes them (server_view_workers had failed once under load)
* 140: determinism across builds at 027, 028 and 140's state: record_all.py's ↵eunhhu40 hours2-0/+972
| | | | 486 runs (41 modules) the same with gcc and clang on the Pi (Pure 0896b38, aup 1efe1c7; aup's modules the same bytes under clang); the Mac and WSL2 not reached (ssh timed out, no route), the bundle and r140.sh ready for them
* 029's record_all.py: the pure-runs of the checks 027, 028 and 140 added, ↵eunhhu40 hours1-0/+67
| | | | recorded run by run for machines to compare (aup's 018 checks as 033's record.py does, its 027 stages', 028's bytes state, 140's frictions; Pure's module_specs, the nine specs on the three paths, Pure's specs copied under the temporary directory so no machine's paths are in an input): 486 runs of 41 modules on the Pi
* 140: LIST_VALUE's copy reviewed before building (measured by spec: UAX #14 ↵eunhhu40 hours3-0/+32
| | | | about 10% of its time, JSON tree 6%, HTTP 2%, inflate 0.06%, the rest none; the cost a tree built item by item, 64 ns an item and 250 ns a copy): lend and detach (CoW) noted as the decision point (a branch on every event list's change for 10/6/2/0/0/0), a compile-time move ruled out (it changes LIST_VALUE's contract), the arrays copied whole built (UAX #14 -6.8%, its share to about 3%); 041's five works within 0.03% (b49, b50), the bank's queries within 0.3% (s49, s50), noise between builds larger
* 140: aup's frictions written away and the apps measured again (no core ↵eunhhu41 hours2-2/+13
| | | | change, no new opcode): lists declared together, targets together (straight when no value can read what a target changes), a list given a list value whole, abs, tick.period, hex where numbers go; lines to Python 1.47-2.04x (were 1.47-2.15x): UAX #14 176 to 169, layout 116 to 110, HTTP 148 to 146 and its last workaround gone; instructions of the four whose modules changed within 0.2%, inflate's and UAX #14's modules the same; the six specs' checks pass on the three paths, module_specs nine; RTO's checks no longer rewrite G (tick.period); the suite table's rows 5, 8 and 9
* 140's 8, box layout, written in aup with no new opcode (aup's ↵eunhhu42 hours8-0/+625
| | | | examples/layout.aup: a subset of CSS Flexbox 1 written down first, one line, row or column, padding, gap, six justify-content, four align-items, grow and shrink with 9.7's loop, cross sizes stretched, nothing sized by content): 2,000 random trees (29,388 nodes; 7,659 items frozen at their padding by the loop) are Taffy 0.15's within 0.01 (layout_taffy, built by cargo; the worst 8.3e-5) and layout.py's bit for bit on the three paths, the paths the same; the single-pass subset first tried refused 66% of trees, so the loop came in; Taffy given min sizes equal to the padding (given 0 it floors at 0 while resolving lengths, where 9.7 floors the content box), the reference adding from the left (sum compensates since Python 3.12); module_specs in make check: 100 trees (tests/specs/layout); bars: 116 lines against Python's 54, 4,754 ns a node, Taffy's 644 (7.4x), pure Python 5,396 (Pure 1.14x faster), 1,494 instructions a node (9.7's loop 44%); four frictions; aup's rows read by position no longer copy (99,067 ns a node before); the suite table's row 8; CHECKPOINT's direction row
* 140's 10, RFC 6298's retransmission timer, written in aup with no new opcode ↵eunhhu42 hours3-0/+186
| | | | (aup's examples/rto.aup, the timer a deadline in the state seen at each periodic tick): 20 scenarios (10 seeds, ticks every 10 and 100 ms; a closed loop: first sendings lost one in five, the receiver acknowledging cumulatively) and their 241,612 events right against rto.py, the model of the same rules (no known implementation takes given events), on the three paths, the paths the same; module_specs in make check: one scenario at both periods (tests/specs/rto, 2,297 events); bars: one workaround (the periodic tick: 2,795.8 ticks a timeout at 10 ms, 281.6 at 100, seen 4.27 and 49.23 ms late on average; ticks 93% and 57% of the counted work), 56 lines against Python's 30, three frictions (an input's period not readable, no abs, send a keyword); the one-shot timer's shape as a decision point, one spec needing it: noted, not made; the suite table's row 10
* 140's 5, line breaking (UAX #14, Unicode 16.0), written in aup with no new ↵eunhhu43 hours4-0/+396
| | | | opcode (aup's examples/linebreak.aup, the properties as data: 2,787 ranges from the UCD 16.0 Vega's text is frozen at, built by Vega's text/unicode.py, loaded once): every line of LineBreakTest.txt (16,672) and 2,000 random lines (their boundaries as linebreak.py, the Python reference, which passes the test whole, works them out) right on the three paths, the paths' outputs the same; module_specs in make check: the ranges and the lines kept in tests/specs/linebreak (derived from the UCD, the Unicode License v3's notice), run by pure-run --views; bars: written, no workaround (three frictions: hex literals always i64, number no let's name, a let's list one a line), 176 lines against Python's 99, 6,920 ns a code point against Vega's C 34.7 (199x), pure Python 2,523 (Pure 2.7x slower), 1,774 instructions a code point (setup 260, the ranges' binary search 360, decide about 1,150 a boundary); the decisions before 8 (box layout: Taffy can be fetched by cargo, a subset to choose first; as a handler) and 10 (a one-shot timer is a core primitive one spec needs: noted, not made); the suite table's row 5; CHECKPOINT's direction row
* 140 measured again without the workarounds: the three specs' checks pass on ↵eunhhu43 hours7-7/+30
| | | | the three paths as before (zlib's 640 streams and 240 damaged, dnspython's 400 messages and 300 damaged, h11's 200 streams on every cut and 200 damaged); lines inflate 132 to 121, DNS 115 to 106, HTTP 159 to 148 (Python's 1.5-1.9x, was 1.6-2.0x); time inflate 1,152 to 1,139 ns a byte (102x C), DNS 244 to 221 (61x, instructions 63.6 to 49.9 a byte: == in its compression), HTTP 278 to 270 (83x, with the free empty join); left: DNS's view calls no block fn, HTTP's let list takes no list value; module_specs, the checks and the timing tools read the bytes states (inflated, pending); the suite table's rows for 1, 3 and 9
* CONCAT with an empty side gives the other as it is, uncopied (values do not ↵eunhhu43 hours2-0/+22
| | | | change), so a bytes state joined while empty (HTTP's pending + packet.data) no longer copies the packet: HTTP a packet at a time 288 to 270 ns a byte at the same instructions, as the old app (270.0); counts: b48 against b47 knapsack without batches -0.42%, join -0.16%, BFS with batches -0.12%, the rest within 0.03%; the bank's queries (s47 and s48 in turns, six each) in_credit -0.34%, field -0.34%, found -0.22%, per_branch -0.20%, large -0.18%, ranks -0.13%, none the same, the seven answers the same bytes
* 140: small block fns inlined in aup, made and measured, not merged (the ↵eunhhu43 hours1-0/+276
| | | | patch kept): a block fn whose only return is its last line, with no loop or called where the stack is empty, written out where it is called, its parameters slots of its own (one set a fn and kinds of arguments in a handler); the three specs' checks passed, but inflate 191.2 instructions a byte as before and HTTP 61.4 to 62.1 (+1.1%, 277.7 to 274.9 ns): the hot fns (inflate's decode, HTTP's crlf) return early inside a loop, a fn with a loop cannot be written out where values are on the stack (Pure opens no loop above values), and storing a short body's parameters costs what CALL and PICK did; inflate's 23% was the expression fn bit's (a loop, a let and conversions gone with the call); what would make it pay is Pure's (loops above values, or a cheaper frame), one spec behind it; the decision point's list of what was made after it
* 028's bytes alone as a state, made: module state type 6 read as a text state ↵eunhhu44 hours2-0/+22
| | | | flagged PURE_TEXT_BYTES in state_flags (so serve's same_states compares it for queries and replaces), its TEXT_LOAD giving bytes and its TEXT_SET taking them, a cursor's ops on it refused (anchor in bytes) and an anchor in it refused at load; one store file text-NAME, the values record marking each bytes state (kind 7, its name, 8 zero bytes), a text state's file that is no UTF-8 its initial value when marked and store_error when not (as before); a replace carrying bytes to a text only when its draft is UTF-8, else opening the store's draft anew; pure-run shows a bytes state's hex; unit test bytes_states (seven starts from a store: 0xff and 0x00 kept, bytes to text to bytes to text with no UTF-8 and with it; three replaces; four refused); counts: b47 against b46 BFS with batches +0.12%, the rest within 0.001%; the bank's queries (s45 and s47 in turns, six each, bytes compared among them) in_credit -0.31%, per_branch -0.18%, ranks -0.11%, the rest within 0.01%, the seven answers the same bytes; Pure, Vega and aup checks green; 008, 028
* Bytes compared (140's decision point: DNS and HTTP both met it): ↵eunhhu44 hours1-0/+10
| | | | TEXT_COMPARE's argument takes PURE_COMPARE_BYTES (bit 8) beside its relation, its two then bytes (UTF-8 asked of neither), as CONCAT's argument says bytes; verified as A_ORDER (a relation, and the bit), the executor relating by the argument's relation alone; the JIT, the tier and the batch executor leave TEXT_COMPARE to the executor as before; unit test bytes_compared: eight relations of a constant's bytes, none, 0xff and 'A' (0xff after 'A', a longer after its first byte), four refused (the bit on texts, no bit on bytes, a text with bytes, a relation past NE); counts: b46 against b45 the same on all five works, with and without batches; 008
* 140's 9, HTTP/1.1 requests a packet at a time (RFC 9112), written in aup ↵eunhhu45 hours4-0/+578
| | | | with no new opcode (aup's examples/http.aup: each packet an event, its bytes added to what the last left, every request they complete read, h11's grammar): 200 streams (132,623 bytes, 578 requests: methods, targets, HTTP/1.1 and a last 1.0, mixed-case names, spaces around values, Content-Length and chunked bodies with extensions and trailers, some ending in part of a request) fed whole, at random boundaries and a byte at a time (the 50 under 400 bytes), the requests read h11's on every cut and the bytes left those after them, the three paths' outputs the same bytes; 200 damaged streams fed whole as http_requests.py (the Python reference) reads them, 35 refused by both and 165 the same; module_specs in make check: 80 streams and their reading (tests/specs/http, no h11 at check time) whole on the three paths and cut 88 ways; bars: written, three workarounds (the bytes left in a list of one: bytes are no state; names and codings compared as text: bytes have no ==; field lines returned in a record: a fn returns no bare list), 159 lines against Python's 79, 278 ns a byte against the same algorithm in C 3.27 (85x), pure Python 67 (its bytes methods are C: Pure 4.1x slower), h11 284; 140's decision point after 027: bytes alone as a state (inflate, HTTP) and bytes' == (DNS, HTTP) now each met by two written specs, so the two-spec rule lets them into the core (their design not begun); a view calling a block fn met by one (DNS); aup's three its compiler's; CHECKPOINT's direction row
