| -- This module shows verbose information about the progress of the | |
| -- JIT compiler. It prints one line for each generated trace. This module | |
| -- is useful to see which code has been compiled or where the compiler | |
| -- punts and falls back to the interpreter. | |
| -- | |
| -- Example usage: | |
| -- | |
| -- luajit -jv -e "for i=1,1000 do for j=1,1000 do end end" | |
| -- luajit -jv=myapp.out myapp.lua | |
| -- | |
| -- Default output is to stderr. To redirect the output to a file, pass a | |
| -- filename as an argument (use '-' for stdout) or set the environment | |
| -- variable LUAJIT_VERBOSEFILE. The file is overwritten every time the | |
| -- module is started. | |
| -- | |
| -- The output from the first example should look like this: | |
| -- | |
| -- [TRACE 1 (command line):1 loop] | |
| -- [TRACE 2 (1/3) (command line):1 -> 1] | |
| -- | |
| -- The first number in each line is the internal trace number. Next are | |
| -- the file name ('(command line)') and the line number (':1') where the | |
| -- trace has started. Side traces also show the parent trace number and | |
| -- the exit number where they are attached to in parentheses ('(1/3)'). | |
| -- An arrow at the end shows where the trace links to ('-> 1'), unless | |
| -- it loops to itself. | |
| -- | |
| -- In this case the inner loop gets hot and is traced first, generating | |
| -- a root trace. Then the last exit from the 1st trace gets hot, too, | |
| -- and triggers generation of the 2nd trace. The side trace follows the | |
| -- path along the outer loop and *around* the inner loop, back to its | |
| -- start, and then links to the 1st trace. Yes, this may seem unusual, | |
| -- if you know how traditional compilers work. Trace compilers are full | |
| -- of surprises like this -- have fun! :-) | |
| -- | |
| -- Aborted traces are shown like this: | |
| -- | |
| -- [TRACE --- foo.lua:44 -- leaving loop in root trace at foo:lua:50] | |
| -- | |
| -- Don't worry -- trace aborts are quite common, even in programs which | |
| -- can be fully compiled. The compiler may retry several times until it | |
| -- finds a suitable trace. | |
| -- | |
| -- Of course this doesn't work with features that are not-yet-implemented | |
| -- (NYI error messages). The VM simply falls back to the interpreter. This | |
| -- may not matter at all if the particular trace is not very high up in | |
| -- the CPU usage profile. Oh, and the interpreter is quite fast, too. | |
| -- | |
| -- Also check out the -jdump module, which prints all the gory details. | |
