Generating more code with Harpy After a slight detour into expression representation I'm back to generating code again. To recap, here's how I'm going to do my embedded expressions in Haskell. For now I'll stick to ugly looking boolean operators. Fixing that is a whole other story.
module Exp(Exp(..), Lit(..), Fun(..), PrimOp(..)) where

data Exp
    = Con Lit
    | Arg Int
    | App Fun [Exp]
    deriving (Eq, Ord, Show)

data Lit
    = LInt  Int
    deriving (Eq, Ord, Show)

data Fun
    = FPrimOp PrimOp
    deriving (Eq, Ord, Show)

data PrimOp
    = I_Add | I_Sub | I_Mul | I_Quot | I_Rem | I_Neg
    | I_EQ | I_NE | I_LT | I_LE | I_GT | I_GE
    | I_Cond
    deriving (Eq, Ord, Show)
-----------------------------------------------------
module MExp(M(..)) where
import Exp

newtype M a = M { unM :: Exp }
    deriving (Show)
-----------------------------------------------------
module M(M, cond,
         (.==), (./=), (.<), (.<=), (.>), (.>=),
         false, true, (.&&), (.||)
        ) where
import Exp
import MExp

instance Eq (M a)
instance Ord (M a)

instance Num (M Int) where
    x + y  =  binOp I_Add x y
    x - y  =  binOp I_Sub x y
    x * y  =  binOp I_Mul x y
    negate x =  unOp I_Neg x
    fromInteger i = M $ Con $ LInt $ fromInteger i

instance Enum (M Int)
instance Real (M Int) where

instance Integral (M Int) where
    quot x y = binOp I_Quot x y
    rem x y = binOp I_Rem x y

binOp op (M x) (M y) = M $ App (FPrimOp op) [x, y]
unOp op (M x) = M $ App (FPrimOp op) [x]

--------

infix 4 ./=, .==, .<, .<=, .>, .>=
(.==), (./=), (.<), (.<=), (.>), (.>=) :: M Int -> M Int -> M Bool
(.==) = binOp I_EQ
(./=) = binOp I_NE
(.<)  = binOp I_LT
(.<=) = binOp I_LE
(.>)  = binOp I_GT
(.>=) = binOp I_GE

cond :: M Bool -> M Int -> M Int -> M Int
cond (M c) (M t) (M e) = M $ App (FPrimOp I_Cond) [c, t, e]

condB :: M Bool -> M Bool -> M Bool -> M Bool
condB (M c) (M t) (M e) = M $ App (FPrimOp I_Cond) [c, t, e]

false, true :: M Bool
false = M $ Con $ LInt 0
true  = M $ Con $ LInt 1

infixr 3 .&&
infixr 2 .||
(.&&), (.||) :: M Bool -> M Bool -> M Bool
x .&& y = condB x y false
x .|| y = condB x true y
So the Exp type is the internal representation of expressions. It's just constants, variables, and some primitive operations. The M (for machine) type is the phantom type that the DSL user will see. The module M contains all the user visible functions. Note that it handles booleans by represented the C way, by an int that is 0 or 1. There's a conditional function, cond, and a corresponding primitive that will serve as our if. So now we need to generate code for these. This is all very similar to what I did in a previous posting, I have just refactored some of the code generation. The invariant (that I arbitrarily decided on) is that each block of code that implements a primitive operation will may clobber EAX but must leave all other registers intact. This is mostly just a chunk of rather boring code. Division is causing problems as usual, since the IA32 instructions don't allow you to specify a destination register. One point worth a look is the code generation for cond. It has to test a boolean and then select one of two code blocks, but that is just what you'd expect.

Given all this, we can generate code for a function and call it from Haskell code. But that's rather boring since we have only primitive functions and no way to call DSL functions from within the DSL. So we have no recursion. And as we all know, recursion is where the fun starts. So we need to add expressions and code generation for calling functions. First we extend the Exp module.
data Fun
    = FPrimOp PrimOp
    | Func FuncNo

newtype FuncNo = FuncNo Int
The idea being that our DSL functions will be represented by a FuncNo which is an Int. Next, we will extend the code generation. While generating code we will keep an environment that maps function numbers to the corresponding labels to call.
type Env = [(FuncNo, Label)]
...
cgFun (Func f) n = do
    e <- getEnv
    call $ fromJust $ lookup f e
    add esp (fromIntegral (4 * n) :: Word32)
    addDepth (-n)
    pushReg eax
To call a function we look up its label and generate a call instruction to that label. Then we pop off the arguments that we pushed before the call, and finally we push EAX (where the return value is). Simple, huh? But where did the environment come from? Well, it's time to be a little inventive and introduce a monad. Functions are represented by unique integers in the expression type, so we'll need a state monad to generate them.
module Gen where
import Control.Monad.State
import Harpy.CodeGenMonad
import Exp
import MExp
import CodeGen

data GenState = GenState { funcs :: [(FuncNo, CGen ())], nextFunc :: Int }

startGenState :: GenState
startGenState = GenState { funcs = [], nextFunc = 0 }

type G a = State GenState a

fun :: MInt2MInt -> G MInt2MInt
fun f = do
    s <- get
    let n = nextFunc s
        fno = FuncNo n
    put GenState{ funcs = (fno, compileFun f) : funcs s,
                  nextFunc = n + 1 }
    return $ \ x -> M $ App (Func fno) [unM x]

runG :: G MInt2MInt -> CGen ()
runG g = do
    let (ret, s) = runState g startGenState
        funs = reverse $ funcs s
    funMap <- mapM (\ (fno, _) -> do l <- newLabel; return (fno, l)) funs
    withEnv funMap $ do
        compileFun ret
        zipWithM_ (\ (f, l) (_, g) -> l @@ g) funMap funs
This code actually has some interesting points. First, the monad, G, keeps a list of defined functions. The list has the function number and the CodeGen block that will generate code for it. Second, the fun function is the one that creates a new function number. It also calls compileFun to get a CodeGen block that will generate code for the function. Note that no code is generated at this point. The G monad is just a simple state monad, not the IO based codeGen monad. Also note how fun returns an expression that is of the same type as the argument, but it now uses an App to call the function. Finally, the runG function generates all the code. It uses runState to obtain the list of defined function and the result to return. Now code generation starts. For each function we generate a new label. Pairing up the function number and the label forms our environment, funMap. With this environment installed we start code generation for the functions, first the return value, then all the defined function; each with its label attached. Well, that's it. Let's wrap it all up.
module Compile(compileIO, disasmIO, module M, module Gen) where
import Convert
import Gen
import M

type MInt = M Int

compileIO :: G (MInt -> MInt) -> IO (Int -> Int)
compileIO f = fmap flex $ compileIOW32 f
  where flex g = fromIntegral . g . fromIntegral

compileIOW32 :: G (MInt -> MInt) -> IO (Word32 -> Word32)
compileIOW32 = conv_Word32ToWord32 [] undefined . runG

disasmIO :: G (MInt -> MInt) -> IO String
disasmIO = disasm [] undefined . runG
And, of course, a test. Here we hit a snag. We want recursion, but monadic bindings (do) are not recursive. Luckily, ghc does implement recursive do called mdo (why that name, I have no idea) for any monad that is in the class MonadFix. And the state monad is, so we are in luck.
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -fglasgow-exts #-}
module Main where
import Compile

main = do
    let g = mdo
                fib <- fun $ \ n -> cond (n .< 2) 1 (fib(n-1) + fib(n-2))
                return $ fib
    test <- compileIO g
    print (test 40)
It even runs and produces the right answer, 165580141. Running time for this example is about 4.0s on my machine. Running fib compiled with 'ghc -O' takes about 3.4s, so we're in the same ballpark. Oh, and if anyone wonders what the code looks like for this example, here it is. This is really, really bad code.

  1. Hi Lennart, regarding your comment:

    Here we hit a snag. We want recursion, but monadic bindings (do) are not recursive. Luckily, ghc does implement recursive do called mdo (why that name, I have no idea) for any monad that is in the class MonadFix.

    The name mdo was motivated by the least-fixed-point operator μ in domain theory; where people use the notation:

    μx. E

    to mean

    fix (λx. E)

    (where x can appear free in E).

    Motivated by this, we used to call the recursive version of the do-notation the "μdo-notation" informally. The closest ASCII rendering of μdo was mdo. When Jeff Lewis and I implemented it in Hugs for the first time (in 2000), we used the mdo keyword. Later on, I started adding it to GHC (late 2001), and Simon PJ finished it up, where the name mdo was used following suit with Hugs.

    Incidentally, the original name of the corresponding class was MonadRec, but that was changed to MonadFix during the GHC implementation. I guess nobody had a better suggestion for mdo, so it just stuck.

    The "grand vision" at that time was that mdo would replace do eventually, i.e., we would have just one syntax instead of two (just like we don't have a separate let and letrec). But that never happened, so it looks like we're stuck with this forever.

    I vaguely remember a suggestion along the lines of using the keyword dorec. Thankfully, that one never saw the light of day.. :-)

    -Levent.
