#32: Modify the currently disabled runtime-class.lisp code to not require ASM

Keywords: jvm bytecode compiler runtime dynamic class generation |
--------------------------------------------------------------------+-------
It's possible to define classes at runtime, by generating bytecode and
loading it from the generated binary data, without ever writing it to a
temporary file. runtime-class.lisp does that, but it requires an external
bytecode library (ASM). ABCL has all the functionality for this to be done
without ASM, so the task is to modify the runtime-class.lisp code so that
ASM is no longer required and the code can be taken to be part of the
build.

ABCL code can be debugged with normal java debuggers, but it
is somewhat painful for the portions implemented in lisp(1). So we need a
lisp debugger.

eval calls in a java debugger by examining the cars and
cdrs of eval parameters when stepping the code.

Alan Ruttenberg's [invoke.lisp][1] has the ability to easily add
additional Java JARs at runtime by using the [beanshell classloader][2].
With a few additions to the ASDF system, this allows one to easily specify
"wrappings" of Java components which load JARs or find classfiles on the
filesystem.
The code in the Beanshell classmanager could be added to the ABCL src tree
fairly easily to facilitate this behavior.

In order to enable easy packaging of a system into a jar file, one
that might even be usable as an applet, a small change is needed.
Currently load-system-file can read an .abcl compiled file set from
the abcl jar. Actually, it doesn't load the .abcl directly. That file
is a zip file with a "top level" file with a "._" extension and a
bunch of .cls files. The unpacked contents of these files live in the
abcl jar, with the "._" file renamed to have the extension ".abcl".
The loading happens by first loading the "._" file, a file of lisp
forms, which when evaluated, in turn calls load-compiled-function on
each of the component .cls files (plus does some other stuff). All of
these files live in a single directory in the jar file: org/armedbear/
lisp/
I'd like to be able to load from a subdirectory of that, in which I
would put my files. I can tell load-system-file to load the initial
abcl file from the subdirectory, say, org/armedbear/lisp/util/, but
then load-compiled-function wants to load the components from org/
armedbear/lisp. So the small change is to set *load-truename* in load-
system-file, based on the supplied path, and then to use it as the
pathname defaults when executing the call to load-compiled-function.
It seems to do this for the case where it loads from the regular file
system, but not when working with the jar file.
Once this change is in place, to package up a system, one would unjar
abcl.jar, move one's compiled files in to a subdirectory of org/
armedbear/lisp, unzip all of them, rename *._ to *.abcl, and jar them
back up.
One could them load a file from the jar with: (sys:load-system-file
"mydir/foo.abcl")
loadCompiledFunction is defined in Lisp.java and loadSystemFile in
Load.java

Douglas R. Miles reported recently that
java.lang.Throwable.fillInStackTrace() can be a very time consuming
operation when instantiating Throwables or objects the class of which
extends Throwable.
A patch for overriding the fillInStackTrace() function with an empty
implementation was created, it seems to be a performance gain, but a
benchmark is required. ANSI tests test so many other things that it's
difficult to compare the impact of the patch without a test that tests
only GO/RETURN/THROW.

The second object returns:
#<STANDARD-CLASS CLASS1 {F673CC}>
It should be:
#<META-CLASS1 CLASS1 {F673CC}>
Not only is it reporting the wrong class of class1 but it doesn't work
either. I suppose ABCL doesn't support the :metaclass option. It just
ignores it. The problem is that without that option ABCL's CLOS is
severely limited. Any plans to fix this?

It would save a great deal of boxing/unboxing, if local functions and
self-calling recursive functions could pass and return unboxed values.
Although passing unboxed values from the outside world is generally
considered 'dependency on implementation details', recursive calls and
calls to local functions should be able to depend on this: they get
recompiled upon function redefinition anyway.
One of the reasons for this ticket: with the improved type-derivations in
Jan/Feb 2009, the cl-bench TAK test deteriorated: more boxing was
performed. With this change, the (un)boxing can be eliminated, except for
the first call (from the outside world).

The compiler doesn't support non-constant initforms for compiled
functions. One way to work around this would be to take advantage of the
existing processArgs() functionality in Closure.java. It's used by the
interpreter to evaluate non-constant initforms.
In order to re-use the functionality, the compiler would need to create an
Environment object and set it up with the variables used in the initforms
for the interpreter to access.
This can be done by removing the CompiledClosure wrapper around
ClosureTemplateFunction. The ClosureTemplateFunction should support being
.execute()-ed directly (instead of through the wrapper). The compiler
should then set a context record (array of LispObjects) currently carried
around in CompiledClosure directly in ClosureTemplateFunction. The
Environment object should be used to set the 'environment' field in
ClosureTemplateFunction.
