Adam Joseph 49b34183e3 feat(tvix/eval): rewrite Thunk::force() in nonrecursive form
This commit rewrites Thunk::force() so that it is not (directly)
self-recursive.  It maintains a Vec of all the
previously-encountered thunks which point to the one it is currently
forcing, rather than recursively calling itself.

Benefits:

- Short term:

  This commit saves the cost of a round-trip through the generator
  machinery for the generators::request_force() which is removed by
  this commit.

- Medium term:

  Once a similar transformation has been applied to nix_cmp(),
  nix_add(), nix_eq(), and coerce_to_string(), those four functions,
  along with Thunk::force(), will make non-tail calls only to each
  other.  They can then be merged into a single tail-recursive
  function which does not use the generator machinery at all:

    enum Task { Cmp, Add, Eq, CoerceToString, Force};

    fn Value::walk(task:Task, v1:Value, v2:Value) {
      // ...

- Long term:

  The long-term goal here is to use generators **only for builtins**
  and [Marionette]-style remote control of the VM.  In other words:
  use `async` for things that actually involve concurrency.  Calls
  from the VM to builtins can then be blocking calls, because even
  cppnix will overflow the stack if you make a MAX_STACK_DEPTH-deep
  recursive call which passes through a builtin at every stack frame
  (e.g. `{ func = builtins.sort (a: b: ... func ...) ...}`).

  This way the inner "tight loop" of the interpreter doesn't pay the
  costs of `async` and generators.  These costs manifest in terms
  of: performance, complex nonlocal control flow, and language
  impediments (async Rust is a restricted subset of real Rust, and
  is missing things like traits).

depot

Build status

This repository is the monorepo for the community around The Virus Lounge, containing our personal tools and infrastructure. Everything in here is built using Nix.

A large portion of the software here is very self-referential, meaning that it exists to sustain the operation of the repository. This is the case because we partially see this as an experiment in tooling for monorepos.

Highlights

Services

  • Source code is available primarily through Sourcegraph on cs.tvl.fyi, where it is searchable and even semantically indexed. A lower-tech view of the repository is also available via cgit-pink on code.tvl.fyi.

    The repository can be cloned using git from https://cl.tvl.fyi/depot.

  • All code in the depot, with the exception of code that is checked in to individual //users folders, needs to be reviewed. We use Gerrit on cl.tvl.fyi for this.

  • Issues are tracked via our own issue tracker on b.tvl.fyi. Its source code lives at //web/panettone/.

  • Smaller todo-list entries which do not warrant a separate issue are listed at todo.tvl.fyi.

  • We use Buildkite for CI. Recent builds are listed on tvl.fyi/builds and pipelines are configured dynamically via //ops/pipelines.

  • A search service that makes TVL services available via textual shortcuts is available: atward

All services that we host are deployed on NixOS machines that we manage. Their configuration is tracked in //ops/{modules,machines}.

Nix

  • //nix/readTree contains the Nix code which automatically registers projects in our Nix attribute hierarchy based on their in-tree location

  • //nix/yants contains Yet Another Nix Type System, which we use for a variety of things throughout the repository
  • //nix/buildGo implements a Nix library that can build Go software in the style of Bazel's rules_go. Go programs in this repository are built using this library.
  • //nix/buildLisp implements a Nix library that can build Common Lisp software. Currently only SBCL is supported. Lisp programs in this repository are built using this library.
  • //web/blog and //web/atom-feed: A Nix-based static site generator which generates the web page and Atom feed for tazj.in (//users/tazjin/homepage) and tvl.fyi (//web/tvl)
  • //web/bubblegum contains a CGI-based web framework written in Nix.
