\chapter*{Preface}
\addcontentsline{toc}{fmbm}{Preface}

There is a magical moment when a programmer presses the ``run'' button
and the software begins to execute. Somehow a program written in a
high-level language is running on a computer that is only capable of
shuffling bits. Here we reveal the wizardry that makes that moment
possible. Beginning with the groundbreaking work of Backus and
colleagues in the 1950s, computer scientists discovered techniques for
constructing programs, called \emph{compilers}, that automatically
translate high-level programs into machine code.

We take you on a journey by constructing your own compiler for a small
but powerful language. Along the way we explain the essential
concepts, algorithms, and data structures that underlie compilers. We
develop your understanding of how programs are mapped onto computer
hardware, which is helpful when reasoning about properties at the
junction between hardware and software such as execution time,
software errors, and security vulnerabilities.  For those interested
in pursuing compiler construction, our goal is to provide a
stepping-stone to advanced topics such as just-in-time compilation,
program analysis, and program optimization.  For those interested in
designing and implementing programming languages, we connect
language design choices to their impact on the compiler and the generated
code.

A compiler is typically organized as a sequence of stages that
progressively translates a program to code that runs on hardware. We
take this approach to the extreme by partitioning our compiler into a
large number of \emph{nanopasses}, each of which performs a single
task. This allows us to test the output of each pass in isolation, and
furthermore, allows us to focus our attention making the compiler far
easier to understand.

%% [TODO: easier to understand/debug for those maintaining the compiler,
%%   proving correctness]

The most familiar approach to describing compilers is with one pass
per chapter.  The problem with that is it obfuscates how language
features motivate design choices in a compiler. We take an
\emph{incremental} approach in which we build a complete compiler in
each chapter, starting with arithmetic and variables and add new
features in subsequent chapters.

Our choice of language features is designed to elicit the fundamental
concepts and algorithms used in compilers.
\begin{itemize}
\item We begin with integer arithmetic and local variables in
  Chapters~\ref{ch:trees-recur} and \ref{ch:Rvar}, where we introduce
  the fundamental tools of compiler construction: \emph{abstract
    syntax trees} and \emph{recursive functions}. 
\item In Chapter~\ref{ch:register-allocation-Rvar} we apply
  \emph{graph coloring} to assign variables to machine registers.
\item Chapter~\ref{ch:Rif} adds \code{if} expressions, which motivates
  an elegant recursive algorithm for mapping expressions to
  \emph{control-flow graphs}.
\item Chapter~\ref{ch:Rvec} adds heap-allocated tuples, motivating
  \emph{garbage collection}.
\item Chapter~\ref{ch:Rfun} adds functions that are first-class values
  but lack lexical scoping, similar to the C programming
  language~\citep{Kernighan:1988nx} except that we generate efficient
  tail calls. The reader learns about the procedure call stack,
  \emph{calling conventions}, and their interaction with register
  allocation and garbage collection.
\item Chapter~\ref{ch:Rlam} adds anonymous functions with lexical
  scoping, i.e., \emph{lambda abstraction}. The reader learns about
  \emph{closure conversion}, in which lambdas are translated into a
  combination of functions and tuples.
\item Chapter~\ref{ch:Rdyn} adds \emph{dynamic typing}. Prior to this
  point the input languages are statically typed.  The reader extends
  the statically typed language with an \code{Any} type which serves
  as a target for compiling the dynamically typed language.
\item Chapter~\ref{ch:Rwhile} fleshes out support for imperative
  programming languages with the addition of loops and mutable
  variables. These additions elicit the need for \emph{dataflow
    analysis} in the register allocator.
\item Chapter~\ref{ch:Rgrad} uses the \code{Any} type of
  Chapter~\ref{ch:Rdyn} to implement a \emph{gradually typed language}
  in which different regions of a program may be static or dynamically
  typed. The reader implements runtime support for \emph{proxies} that
  allow values to safely move between regions.
\item Chapter~\ref{ch:Rpoly} adds \emph{generics} with autoboxing,
  leveraging the \code{Any} type and type casts developed in Chapters
  \ref{ch:Rdyn} and \ref{ch:Rgrad}.
\end{itemize}
There are many language features that we do not include. Our choices
weigh the incidental complexity of a feature against the fundamental
concepts that it exposes. For example, we include tuples and not
records because they both elicit the study of heap allocation and
garbage collection but records come with more incidental complexity.

Since 2016 this book has served as the textbook for the compiler
course at Indiana University, a 16-week course for upper-level
undergraduates and first-year graduate students.
%
Prior to this course, students learn to program in both imperative and
functional languages, study data structures and algorithms, and take
discrete mathematics.
%
At the beginning of the course, students form groups of 2-4 people.
The groups complete one chapter every two weeks, starting with
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rvar} and finishing with Chapter~\ref{ch:Rdyn}. Many
chapters include a challenge problem that we assign to the graduate
students. The last two weeks of the course involve a final project in
which students design and implement a compiler extension of their
choosing.  Chapters~\ref{ch:Rwhile}, \ref{ch:Rgrad}, and
\ref{ch:Rpoly} can be used in support of these projects or they can
replace some of the earlier chapters. For example, a course with an
emphasis on statically-typed imperative languages would skip
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rdyn} in favor of
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rwhile}. Figure~\ref{fig:chapter-dependences} depicts
the dependencies between chapters.

This book has also been used in compiler courses at California
Polytechnic State University, Rose–Hulman Institute of Technology, and
University of Massachusetts Lowell.

We use the \href{https://racket-lang.org/}{Racket} language both for
the implementation of the compiler and for the input language, so the
reader should be proficient with Racket or Scheme. There are many
excellent resources for learning Scheme and
Racket~\citep{Dybvig:1987aa,Abelson:1996uq,Friedman:1996aa,Felleisen:2001aa,Felleisen:2013aa,Flatt:2014aa}. The
support code for this book is in the \code{github} repository at the
following URL:
\begin{center}\small
  \url{https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/public-student-support-code}
\end{center}

The compiler targets x86 assembly language~\citep{Intel:2015aa}, so it
is helpful but not necessary for the reader to have taken a computer
systems course~\citep{Bryant:2010aa}. This book introduces the parts
of x86-64 assembly language that are needed.
%
We follow the System V calling
conventions~\citep{Bryant:2005aa,Matz:2013aa}, so the assembly code
that we generate works with the runtime system (written in C) when it
is compiled using the GNU C compiler (\code{gcc}) on Linux and MacOS
operating systems.
%
On the Windows operating system, \code{gcc} uses the Microsoft x64
calling convention~\citep{Microsoft:2018aa,Microsoft:2020aa}. So the
assembly code that we generate does \emph{not} work with the runtime
system on Windows. One workaround is to use a virtual machine with
Linux as the guest operating system.

\section*{Acknowledgments}

The tradition of compiler construction at Indiana University goes back
to research and courses on programming languages by Daniel Friedman in
the 1970's and 1980's.  One of his students, Kent Dybvig, implemented
Chez Scheme~\citep{Dybvig:2006aa}, a production-quality, efficient
compiler for Scheme.  Throughout the 1990's and 2000's, Dybvig taught
the compiler course and continued the development of Chez Scheme.
%
The compiler course evolved to incorporate novel pedagogical ideas
while also including elements of efficient real-world compilers.  One
of Friedman's ideas was to split the compiler into many small
passes. Another idea, called ``the game'', was to test the code
generated by each pass using interpreters.

Dybvig, with help from his students Dipanwita Sarkar and Andrew Keep,
developed infrastructure to support this approach and evolved the
course to use even smaller
nanopasses~\citep{Sarkar:2004fk,Keep:2012aa}.  Many of the compiler
design decisions in this book are inspired by the assignment
descriptions of \citet{Dybvig:2010aa}. In the mid 2000's a student of
Dybvig's named Abdulaziz Ghuloum observed that the front-to-back
organization of the course made it difficult for students to
understand the rationale for the compiler design. Ghuloum proposed the
incremental approach~\citep{Ghuloum:2006bh} that this book is based
on.

We thank the many students who served as teaching assistants for the
compiler course at IU and made suggestions for improving the book
including Carl Factora, Ryan Scott, and Cameron Swords. We especially
thank Andre Kuhlenschmidt for his work on the garbage collector,
Michael Vollmer for his work on efficient tail calls, and Michael
Vitousek for his help running the first offering of the incremental
compiler course at IU.

We thank professors Bor-Yuh Chang, John Clements, Jay McCarthy, Joseph
Near, Ryan Newton, Nate Nystrom, Andrew Tolmach, and Michael Wollowski
for teaching courses based on early drafts of this book and for their
invaluable feedback.

We thank Ronald Garcia for helping Jeremy survive Dybvig's compiler
course in the early 2000's and especially for finding the bug that
sent the garbage collector on a wild goose chase!

\chapter{Preliminaries}
\label{ch:trees-recur}

In this chapter we review the basic tools that are needed to implement
a compiler. Programs are typically input by a programmer as text,
i.e., a sequence of characters. The program-as-text representation is
called \emph{concrete syntax}. We use concrete syntax to concisely
write down and talk about programs. Inside the compiler, we use
\emph{abstract syntax trees} (ASTs) to represent programs in a way
that efficiently supports the operations that the compiler needs to
perform.\index{subject}{concrete syntax}\index{subject}{abstract syntax}\index{subject}{abstract
  syntax tree}\index{subject}{AST}\index{subject}{program}\index{subject}{parse} The translation
from concrete syntax to abstract syntax is a process called
\emph{parsing}~\citep{Aho:1986qf}. We do not cover the theory and
implementation of parsing in this book. A parser is provided in the
support code for translating from concrete to abstract syntax.

ASTs can be represented in many different ways inside the compiler,
depending on the programming language used to write the compiler.
%
We use Racket's
\href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/define-struct.html}{\code{struct}}
feature to represent ASTs (Section~\ref{sec:ast}). We use grammars to
define the abstract syntax of programming languages
(Section~\ref{sec:grammar}) and pattern matching to inspect individual
nodes in an AST (Section~\ref{sec:pattern-matching}).  We use
recursive functions to construct and deconstruct ASTs
(Section~\ref{sec:recursion}).  This chapter provides an brief
introduction to these ideas.  \index{subject}{struct}

\section{Abstract Syntax Trees and Racket Structures}
\label{sec:ast}

Compilers use abstract syntax trees to represent programs because they
often need to ask questions like: for a given part of a program, what
kind of language feature is it? What are its sub-parts? Consider the
program on the left and its AST on the right. This program is an
addition operation and it has two sub-parts, a read operation and a
negation. The negation has another sub-part, the integer constant
\code{8}. By using a tree to represent the program, we can easily
follow the links to go from one part of a program to its sub-parts.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(+ (read) (- 8))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{equation}
\begin{tikzpicture}
 \node[draw, circle] (plus)  at (0 ,  0) {\key{+}};
 \node[draw, circle] (read)  at (-1, -1.5) {{\footnotesize\key{read}}};
 \node[draw, circle] (minus) at (1 , -1.5) {$\key{-}$};
 \node[draw, circle] (8)     at (1 , -3) {\key{8}};

 \draw[->] (plus) to (read);
 \draw[->] (plus) to (minus);
 \draw[->] (minus) to (8);
\end{tikzpicture}
\label{eq:arith-prog}
\end{equation}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
We use the standard terminology for trees to describe ASTs: each
circle above is called a \emph{node}. The arrows connect a node to its
\emph{children} (which are also nodes). The top-most node is the
\emph{root}.  Every node except for the root has a \emph{parent} (the
node it is the child of). If a node has no children, it is a
\emph{leaf} node.  Otherwise it is an \emph{internal} node.
\index{subject}{node}
\index{subject}{children}
\index{subject}{root}
\index{subject}{parent}
\index{subject}{leaf}
\index{subject}{internal node}

%% Recall that an \emph{symbolic expression} (S-expression) is either
%% \begin{enumerate}
%% \item an atom, or
%% \item a pair of two S-expressions, written $(e_1 \key{.} e_2)$,
%%     where $e_1$ and $e_2$ are each an S-expression.
%% \end{enumerate}
%% An \emph{atom} can be a symbol, such as \code{`hello}, a number, the
%% null value \code{'()}, etc.  We can create an S-expression in Racket
%% simply by writing a backquote (called a quasi-quote in Racket)
%% followed by the textual representation of the S-expression.  It is
%% quite common to use S-expressions to represent a list, such as $a, b
%% ,c$ in the following way:
%% \begin{lstlisting}
%% `(a . (b . (c . ())))
%% \end{lstlisting}
%% Each element of the list is in the first slot of a pair, and the
%% second slot is either the rest of the list or the null value, to mark
%% the end of the list. Such lists are so common that Racket provides
%% special notation for them that removes the need for the periods
%% and so many parenthesis:
%% \begin{lstlisting}
%% `(a b c)
%% \end{lstlisting}
%% The following expression creates an S-expression that represents AST
%% \eqref{eq:arith-prog}.
%% \begin{lstlisting}
%% `(+ (read) (- 8))
%% \end{lstlisting}
%% When using S-expressions to represent ASTs, the convention is to
%% represent each AST node as a list and to put the operation symbol at
%% the front of the list. The rest of the list contains the children.  So
%% in the above case, the root AST node has operation \code{`+} and its
%% two children are \code{`(read)} and \code{`(- 8)}, just as in the
%% diagram \eqref{eq:arith-prog}.

%% To build larger S-expressions one often needs to splice together
%% several smaller S-expressions. Racket provides the comma operator to
%% splice an S-expression into a larger one. For example, instead of
%% creating the S-expression for AST \eqref{eq:arith-prog} all at once,
%% we could have first created an S-expression for AST
%% \eqref{eq:arith-neg8} and then spliced that into the addition
%% S-expression.
%% \begin{lstlisting}
%% (define ast1.4 `(- 8))
%% (define ast1.1 `(+ (read) ,ast1.4))
%% \end{lstlisting}
%% In general, the Racket expression that follows the comma (splice)
%% can be any expression that produces an S-expression.

We define a Racket \code{struct} for each kind of node. For this
chapter we require just two kinds of nodes: one for integer constants
and one for primitive operations. The following is the \code{struct}
definition for integer constants.
\begin{lstlisting}
(struct Int (value))
\end{lstlisting}
An integer node includes just one thing: the integer value.
To create an AST node for the integer $8$, we write \code{(Int 8)}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(define eight (Int 8))
\end{lstlisting}
We say that the value created by \code{(Int 8)} is an
\emph{instance} of the \code{Int} structure.

The following is the \code{struct} definition for primitive operations.
\begin{lstlisting}
(struct Prim (op args))
\end{lstlisting}
A primitive operation node includes an operator symbol \code{op}
and a list of child \code{args}. For example, to create
an AST that negates the number $8$, we write \code{(Prim '- (list eight))}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(define neg-eight (Prim '- (list eight)))
\end{lstlisting}
Primitive operations may have zero or more children. The \code{read}
operator has zero children:
\begin{lstlisting}
(define rd (Prim 'read '()))
\end{lstlisting}
whereas the addition operator has two children:
\begin{lstlisting}
(define ast1.1 (Prim '+ (list rd neg-eight)))
\end{lstlisting}

We have made a design choice regarding the \code{Prim} structure.
Instead of using one structure for many different operations
(\code{read}, \code{+}, and \code{-}), we could have instead defined a
structure for each operation, as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
(struct Read ())
(struct Add (left right))
(struct Neg (value))
\end{lstlisting}
The reason we choose to use just one structure is that in many parts
of the compiler the code for the different primitive operators is the
same, so we might as well just write that code once, which is enabled
by using a single structure.

When compiling a program such as \eqref{eq:arith-prog}, we need to
know that the operation associated with the root node is addition and
we need to be able to access its two children. Racket provides pattern
matching to support these kinds of queries, as we see in
Section~\ref{sec:pattern-matching}.

In this book, we often write down the concrete syntax of a program
even when we really have in mind the AST because the concrete syntax
is more concise.  We recommend that, in your mind, you always think of
programs as abstract syntax trees.

\section{Grammars}
\label{sec:grammar}
\index{subject}{integer}
\index{subject}{literal}
\index{subject}{constant}

A programming language can be thought of as a \emph{set} of programs.
The set is typically infinite (one can always create larger and larger
programs), so one cannot simply describe a language by listing all of
the programs in the language. Instead we write down a set of rules, a
\emph{grammar}, for building programs. Grammars are often used to
define the concrete syntax of a language, but they can also be used to
describe the abstract syntax. We write our rules in a variant of
Backus-Naur Form (BNF)~\citep{Backus:1960aa,Knuth:1964aa}.
\index{subject}{Backus-Naur Form}\index{subject}{BNF}
As an example, we describe a small language, named \LangInt{}, that consists of
integers and arithmetic operations.
\index{subject}{grammar}

The first grammar rule for the abstract syntax of \LangInt{} says that an
instance of the \code{Int} structure is an expression:
\begin{equation}
\Exp ::= \INT{\Int}  \label{eq:arith-int}
\end{equation}
%
Each rule has a left-hand-side and a right-hand-side. The way to read
a rule is that if you have an AST node that matches the
right-hand-side, then you can categorize it according to the
left-hand-side.
%
A name such as $\Exp$ that is defined by the grammar rules is a
\emph{non-terminal}.  \index{subject}{non-terminal}
%
The name $\Int$ is also a non-terminal, but instead of defining it
with a grammar rule, we define it with the following explanation.  We
make the simplifying design decision that all of the languages in this
book only handle machine-representable integers.  On most modern
machines this corresponds to integers represented with 64-bits, i.e.,
the in range $-2^{63}$ to $2^{63}-1$.  We restrict this range further
to match the Racket \texttt{fixnum} datatype, which allows 63-bit
integers on a 64-bit machine. So an $\Int$ is a sequence of decimals
($0$ to $9$), possibly starting with $-$ (for negative integers), such
that the sequence of decimals represent an integer in range $-2^{62}$
to $2^{62}-1$.

The second grammar rule is the \texttt{read} operation that receives
an input integer from the user of the program.
\begin{equation}
  \Exp ::= \READ{} \label{eq:arith-read}
\end{equation}

The third rule says that, given an $\Exp$ node, the negation of that
node is also an $\Exp$.
\begin{equation}
  \Exp ::= \NEG{\Exp}  \label{eq:arith-neg}
\end{equation}
Symbols in typewriter font such as \key{-} and \key{read} are
\emph{terminal} symbols and must literally appear in the program for
the rule to be applicable.
\index{subject}{terminal}

We can apply these rules to categorize the ASTs that are in the
\LangInt{} language. For example, by rule \eqref{eq:arith-int}
\texttt{(Int 8)} is an $\Exp$, then by rule \eqref{eq:arith-neg} the
following AST is an $\Exp$.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(Prim '- (list (Int 8)))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.25\textwidth}
\begin{equation}
\begin{tikzpicture}
 \node[draw, circle] (minus) at (0, 0)  {$\text{--}$};
 \node[draw, circle] (8)     at (0, -1.2) {$8$};

 \draw[->] (minus) to (8);
\end{tikzpicture}
\label{eq:arith-neg8}
\end{equation}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

The next grammar rule is for addition expressions:
\begin{equation}
  \Exp ::= \ADD{\Exp}{\Exp} \label{eq:arith-add}
\end{equation}
We can now justify that the AST \eqref{eq:arith-prog} is an $\Exp$ in
\LangInt{}.  We know that \lstinline{(Prim 'read '())} is an $\Exp$ by rule
\eqref{eq:arith-read} and we have already categorized \code{(Prim '-
  (list (Int 8)))} as an $\Exp$, so we apply rule \eqref{eq:arith-add}
to show that
\begin{lstlisting}
(Prim '+ (list (Prim 'read '()) (Prim '- (list (Int 8)))))
\end{lstlisting}
is an $\Exp$ in the \LangInt{} language.

If you have an AST for which the above rules do not apply, then the
AST is not in \LangInt{}. For example, the program \code{(- (read) (+ 8))}
is not in \LangInt{} because there are no rules for \code{+} with only one
argument, nor for \key{-} with two arguments. Whenever we define a
language with a grammar, the language only includes those programs
that are justified by the rules.

The last grammar rule for \LangInt{} states that there is a \code{Program}
node to mark the top of the whole program:
\[
  \LangInt{} ::= \PROGRAM{\code{'()}}{\Exp}
\]
The \code{Program} structure is defined as follows
\begin{lstlisting}
(struct Program (info body))
\end{lstlisting}
where \code{body} is an expression. In later chapters, the \code{info}
part will be used to store auxiliary information but for now it is
just the empty list.

It is common to have many grammar rules with the same left-hand side
but different right-hand sides, such as the rules for $\Exp$ in the
grammar of \LangInt{}. As a short-hand, a vertical bar can be used to
combine several right-hand-sides into a single rule.

We collect all of the grammar rules for the abstract syntax of \LangInt{}
in Figure~\ref{fig:r0-syntax}. The concrete syntax for \LangInt{} is
defined in Figure~\ref{fig:r0-concrete-syntax}.

The \code{read-program} function provided in \code{utilities.rkt} of
the support code reads a program in from a file (the sequence of
characters in the concrete syntax of Racket) and parses it into an
abstract syntax tree. See the description of \code{read-program} in
Appendix~\ref{appendix:utilities} for more details.

\section{Pattern Matching}
\label{sec:pattern-matching}

As mentioned in Section~\ref{sec:ast}, compilers often need to access
the parts of an AST node. Racket provides the \texttt{match} form to
access the parts of a structure. Consider the following example and
the output on the right. \index{subject}{match} \index{subject}{pattern matching}
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(match ast1.1
  [(Prim op (list child1 child2))
    (print op)])
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\vrule
\begin{minipage}{0.25\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}


   '+
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
In the above example, the \texttt{match} form takes an AST
\eqref{eq:arith-prog} and binds its parts to the three pattern
variables \texttt{op}, \texttt{child1}, and \texttt{child2}, and then
prints out the operator. In general, a match clause consists of a
\emph{pattern} and a \emph{body}.\index{subject}{pattern} Patterns are
recursively defined to be either a pattern variable, a structure name
followed by a pattern for each of the structure's arguments, or an
S-expression (symbols, lists, etc.).  (See Chapter 12 of The Racket
Guide\footnote{\url{https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/match.html}}
and Chapter 9 of The Racket
Reference\footnote{\url{https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/match.html}}
for a complete description of \code{match}.)
%
The body of a match clause may contain arbitrary Racket code.  The
pattern variables can be used in the scope of the body, such as
\code{op} in \code{(print op)}.

A \code{match} form may contain several clauses, as in the following
function \code{leaf?} that recognizes when an \LangInt{} node is a leaf in
the AST. The \code{match} proceeds through the clauses in order,
checking whether the pattern can match the input AST. The body of the
first clause that matches is executed. The output of \code{leaf?} for
several ASTs is shown on the right.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.6\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (leaf? arith)
  (match arith
    [(Int n) #t]
    [(Prim 'read '()) #t]
    [(Prim '- (list e1)) #f]
    [(Prim '+ (list e1 e2)) #f]))

(leaf? (Prim 'read '()))
(leaf? (Prim '- (list (Int 8))))
(leaf? (Int 8))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\vrule
\begin{minipage}{0.25\textwidth}
  \begin{lstlisting}






    
   #t
   #f
   #t
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

When writing a \code{match}, we refer to the grammar definition to
identify which non-terminal we are expecting to match against, then we
make sure that 1) we have one clause for each alternative of that
non-terminal and 2) that the pattern in each clause corresponds to the
corresponding right-hand side of a grammar rule. For the \code{match}
in the \code{leaf?} function, we refer to the grammar for \LangInt{} in
Figure~\ref{fig:r0-syntax}. The $\Exp$ non-terminal has 4
alternatives, so the \code{match} has 4 clauses.  The pattern in each
clause corresponds to the right-hand side of a grammar rule. For
example, the pattern \code{(Prim '+ (list e1 e2))} corresponds to the
right-hand side $\ADD{\Exp}{\Exp}$. When translating from grammars to
patterns, replace non-terminals such as $\Exp$ with pattern variables
of your choice (e.g. \code{e1} and \code{e2}).


\section{Recursive Functions}
\label{sec:recursion}
\index{subject}{recursive function}

Programs are inherently recursive. For example, an \LangInt{} expression is
often made of smaller expressions. Thus, the natural way to process an
entire program is with a recursive function.  As a first example of
such a recursive function, we define \texttt{exp?} below, which takes
an arbitrary value and determines whether or not it is an \LangInt{}
expression.
%
We say that a function is defined by \emph{structural recursion} when
it is defined using a sequence of match clauses that correspond to a
grammar, and the body of each clause makes a recursive call on each
child node.\footnote{This principle of structuring code according to
  the data definition is advocated in the book \emph{How to Design
    Programs} \url{https://htdp.org/2020-8-1/Book/index.html}.}.
Below we also define a second function, named \code{Rint?}, that
determines whether an AST is an \LangInt{} program.  In general we can
expect to write one recursive function to handle each non-terminal in
a grammar.\index{subject}{structural recursion}
%
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.7\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (exp? ast)
  (match ast
    [(Int n) #t]
    [(Prim 'read '()) #t]
    [(Prim '- (list e)) (exp? e)]
    [(Prim '+ (list e1 e2))
      (and (exp? e1) (exp? e2))]
    [else #f]))

(define (Rint? ast)
  (match ast
    [(Program '() e) (exp? e)]
    [else #f]))

(Rint? (Program '() ast1.1)
(Rint? (Program '()
       (Prim '- (list (Prim 'read '())
                      (Prim '+ (list (Num 8)))))))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\vrule
\begin{minipage}{0.25\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}













   #t
   #f
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}


You may be tempted to merge the two functions into one, like this:
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (Rint? ast)
  (match ast
    [(Int n) #t]
    [(Prim 'read '()) #t]
    [(Prim '- (list e)) (Rint? e)]
    [(Prim '+ (list e1 e2)) (and (Rint? e1) (Rint? e2))]
    [(Program '() e) (Rint? e)]
    [else #f]))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
%
Sometimes such a trick will save a few lines of code, especially when
it comes to the \code{Program} wrapper.  Yet this style is generally
\emph{not} recommended because it can get you into trouble.
%
For example, the above function is subtly wrong:
\lstinline{(Rint? (Program '() (Program '() (Int 3))))}
returns true when it should return false.


\section{Interpreters}
\label{sec:interp-Rint}
\index{subject}{interpreter}

In general, the intended behavior of a program is defined by the
specification of the language. For example, the Scheme language is
defined in the report by \cite{SPERBER:2009aa}. The Racket language is
defined in its reference manual~\citep{plt-tr}. In this book we use
interpreters to specify each language that we consider. An interpreter
that is designated as the definition of a language is called a
\emph{definitional interpreter}~\citep{reynolds72:_def_interp}.
\index{subject}{definitional interpreter} We warm up by creating a definitional
interpreter for the \LangInt{} language, which serves as a second example
of structural recursion. The \texttt{interp-Rint} function is defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rint}. The body of the function is a match on the
input program followed by a call to the \lstinline{interp-exp} helper
function, which in turn has one match clause per grammar rule for
\LangInt{} expressions.

\begin{figure}[tp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (interp-exp e)
  (match e
    [(Int n) n]
    [(Prim 'read '())
     (define r (read))
     (cond [(fixnum? r) r]
           [else (error 'interp-exp "read expected an integer" r)])]
    [(Prim '- (list e))
     (define v (interp-exp e))
     (fx- 0 v)]
    [(Prim '+ (list e1 e2))
     (define v1 (interp-exp e1))
     (define v2 (interp-exp e2))
     (fx+ v1 v2)]))

(define (interp-Rint p)
  (match p
    [(Program '() e) (interp-exp e)]))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{Interpreter for the \LangInt{} language.}
\label{fig:interp-Rint}
\end{figure}

Let us consider the result of interpreting a few \LangInt{} programs. The
following program adds two integers.
\begin{lstlisting}
(+ 10 32)
\end{lstlisting}
The result is \key{42}, the answer to life, the universe, and
everything: \code{42}!\footnote{\emph{The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
    Galaxy} by Douglas Adams.}.
%
We wrote the above program in concrete syntax whereas the parsed
abstract syntax is:
\begin{lstlisting}
(Program '() (Prim '+ (list (Int 10) (Int 32))))
\end{lstlisting}

The next example demonstrates that expressions may be nested within
each other, in this case nesting several additions and negations.
\begin{lstlisting}
(+ 10 (- (+ 12 20)))
\end{lstlisting}
What is the result of the above program?

As mentioned previously, the \LangInt{} language does not support
arbitrarily-large integers, but only $63$-bit integers, so we
interpret the arithmetic operations of \LangInt{} using fixnum arithmetic
in Racket.
Suppose
\[
  n = 999999999999999999
\]
which indeed fits in $63$-bits.  What happens when we run the
following program in our interpreter?
\begin{lstlisting}
(+ (+ (+ |$n$| |$n$|) (+ |$n$| |$n$|)) (+ (+ |$n$| |$n$|) (+ |$n$| |$n$|)))))
\end{lstlisting}
It produces an error:
\begin{lstlisting}
fx+: result is not a fixnum
\end{lstlisting}
We establish the convention that if running the definitional
interpreter on a program produces an error then the meaning of that
program is \emph{unspecified}\index{subject}{unspecified behavior}, unless the
error is a \code{trapped-error}. A compiler for the language is under
no obligations regarding programs with unspecified behavior; it does
not have to produce an executable, and if it does, that executable can
do anything.  On the other hand, if the error is a
\code{trapped-error}, then the compiler must produce an executable and
it is required to report that an error occurred. To signal an error,
exit with a return code of \code{255}.  The interpreters in chapters
\ref{ch:Rdyn} and \ref{ch:Rgrad} use
\code{trapped-error}.

%% This convention applies to the languages defined in this
%% book, as a way to simplify the student's task of implementing them,
%% but this convention is not applicable to all programming languages.
%% 

Moving on to the last feature of the \LangInt{} language, the \key{read}
operation prompts the user of the program for an integer.  Recall that
program \eqref{eq:arith-prog} performs a \key{read} and then subtracts
\code{8}. So if we run
\begin{lstlisting}
(interp-Rint (Program '() ast1.1))
\end{lstlisting}
and if the input is \code{50}, the result is \code{42}.

We include the \key{read} operation in \LangInt{} so a clever student
cannot implement a compiler for \LangInt{} that simply runs the interpreter
during compilation to obtain the output and then generates the trivial
code to produce the output. (Yes, a clever student did this in the
first instance of this course.)

The job of a compiler is to translate a program in one language into a
program in another language so that the output program behaves the
same way as the input program does. This idea is depicted in the
following diagram. Suppose we have two languages, $\mathcal{L}_1$ and
$\mathcal{L}_2$, and a definitional interpreter for each language.
Given a compiler that translates from language $\mathcal{L}_1$ to
$\mathcal{L}_2$ and given any program $P_1$ in $\mathcal{L}_1$, the
compiler must translate it into some program $P_2$ such that
interpreting $P_1$ and $P_2$ on their respective interpreters with
same input $i$ yields the same output $o$.
\begin{equation} \label{eq:compile-correct}
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
 \node (p1) at (0,  0) {$P_1$};
 \node (p2) at (3,  0) {$P_2$};
 \node (o)  at (3, -2.5) {$o$};

 \path[->] (p1) edge [above] node {compile} (p2);
 \path[->] (p2) edge [right] node {interp-$\mathcal{L}_2$($i$)} (o);
 \path[->] (p1) edge [left]  node {interp-$\mathcal{L}_1$($i$)} (o);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{equation}
In the next section we see our first example of a compiler.


\section{Example Compiler: a Partial Evaluator}
\label{sec:partial-evaluation}

In this section we consider a compiler that translates \LangInt{} programs
into \LangInt{} programs that may be more efficient, that is, this compiler
is an optimizer. This optimizer eagerly computes the parts of the
program that do not depend on any inputs, a process known as
\emph{partial evaluation}~\citep{Jones:1993uq}.
\index{subject}{partial evaluation}
For example, given the following program
\begin{lstlisting}
(+ (read) (- (+ 5 3)))
\end{lstlisting}
our compiler will translate it into the program
\begin{lstlisting}
(+ (read) -8)
\end{lstlisting}

Figure~\ref{fig:pe-arith} gives the code for a simple partial
evaluator for the \LangInt{} language. The output of the partial evaluator
is an \LangInt{} program. In Figure~\ref{fig:pe-arith}, the structural
recursion over $\Exp$ is captured in the \code{pe-exp} function
whereas the code for partially evaluating the negation and addition
operations is factored into two separate helper functions:
\code{pe-neg} and \code{pe-add}. The input to these helper
functions is the output of partially evaluating the children.

\begin{figure}[tp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (pe-neg r)
  (match r
    [(Int n) (Int (fx- 0 n))]
    [else (Prim '- (list r))]))

(define (pe-add r1 r2)
  (match* (r1 r2)
    [((Int n1) (Int n2)) (Int (fx+ n1 n2))]
    [(_ _) (Prim '+ (list r1 r2))]))

(define (pe-exp e)
  (match e
    [(Int n) (Int n)]
    [(Prim 'read '()) (Prim 'read '())]
    [(Prim '- (list e1)) (pe-neg (pe-exp e1))]
    [(Prim '+ (list e1 e2)) (pe-add (pe-exp e1) (pe-exp e2))]))

(define (pe-Rint p)
  (match p
    [(Program '() e) (Program '() (pe-exp e))]))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{A partial evaluator for \LangInt{}.}
\label{fig:pe-arith}
\end{figure}

The \texttt{pe-neg} and \texttt{pe-add} functions check whether their
arguments are integers and if they are, perform the appropriate
arithmetic.  Otherwise, they create an AST node for the arithmetic
operation.

To gain some confidence that the partial evaluator is correct, we can
test whether it produces programs that get the same result as the
input programs. That is, we can test whether it satisfies Diagram
\ref{eq:compile-correct}. The following code runs the partial
evaluator on several examples and tests the output program.  The
\texttt{parse-program} and \texttt{assert} functions are defined in
Appendix~\ref{appendix:utilities}.\\
\begin{minipage}{1.0\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (test-pe p)
  (assert "testing pe-Rint"
     (equal? (interp-Rint p) (interp-Rint (pe-Rint p)))))

(test-pe (parse-program `(program () (+ 10 (- (+ 5 3))))))
(test-pe (parse-program `(program () (+ 1 (+ 3 1)))))
(test-pe (parse-program `(program () (- (+ 3 (- 5))))))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}

\chapter{Integers and Variables}
\label{ch:Rvar}

This chapter is about compiling a subset of Racket to x86-64 assembly
code~\citep{Intel:2015aa}. The subset, named \LangVar{}, includes
integer arithmetic and local variable binding.  We often refer to
x86-64 simply as x86.  The chapter begins with a description of the
\LangVar{} language (Section~\ref{sec:s0}) followed by an introduction
to x86 assembly (Section~\ref{sec:x86}). The x86 assembly language
is large so we discuss only the instructions needed for compiling
\LangVar{}. We introduce more x86 instructions in later chapters.
After introducing \LangVar{} and x86, we reflect on their differences
and come up with a plan to break down the translation from \LangVar{}
to x86 into a handful of steps (Section~\ref{sec:plan-s0-x86}).  The
rest of the sections in this chapter give detailed hints regarding
each step (Sections~\ref{sec:uniquify-Rvar} through \ref{sec:patch-s0}).
We hope to give enough hints that the well-prepared reader, together
with a few friends, can implement a compiler from \LangVar{} to x86 in
a couple weeks.  To give the reader a feeling for the scale of this
first compiler, the instructor solution for the \LangVar{} compiler is
approximately 500 lines of code.

\section{The \LangVar{} Language}
\label{sec:s0}
\index{subject}{variable}

The \LangVar{} language extends the \LangInt{} language with variable
definitions.  The concrete syntax of the \LangVar{} language is defined by
the grammar in Figure~\ref{fig:Rvar-concrete-syntax} and the abstract
syntax is defined in Figure~\ref{fig:Rvar-syntax}.  The non-terminal
\Var{} may be any Racket identifier. As in \LangInt{}, \key{read} is a
nullary operator, \key{-} is a unary operator, and \key{+} is a binary
operator.  Similar to \LangInt{}, the abstract syntax of \LangVar{} includes the
\key{Program} struct to mark the top of the program.
%% The $\itm{info}$
%% field of the \key{Program} structure contains an \emph{association
%%   list} (a list of key-value pairs) that is used to communicate
%% auxiliary data from one compiler pass the next.
Despite the simplicity of the \LangVar{} language, it is rich enough to
exhibit several compilation techniques.

\end{array}
\]
\end{minipage}
}
\caption{The abstract syntax of \LangVar{}.}
\label{fig:Rvar-syntax}
\end{figure}

Let us dive further into the syntax and semantics of the \LangVar{}
language.  The \key{let} feature defines a variable for use within its
body and initializes the variable with the value of an expression.
The abstract syntax for \key{let} is defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:Rvar-syntax}.  The concrete syntax for \key{let} is
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([|$\itm{var}$| |$\itm{exp}$|]) |$\itm{exp}$|)
\end{lstlisting}
For example, the following program initializes \code{x} to $32$ and then
evaluates the body \code{(+ 10 x)}, producing $42$.
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x (+ 12 20)]) (+ 10 x))
\end{lstlisting}
When there are multiple \key{let}'s for the same variable, the closest
enclosing \key{let} is used. That is, variable definitions overshadow
prior definitions. Consider the following program with two \key{let}'s
that define variables named \code{x}. Can you figure out the result?
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x 32]) (+ (let ([x 10]) x) x))
\end{lstlisting}
For the purposes of depicting which variable uses correspond to which
definitions, the following shows the \code{x}'s annotated with
subscripts to distinguish them. Double check that your answer for the
above is the same as your answer for this annotated version of the
program.
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x|$_1$| 32]) (+ (let ([x|$_2$| 10]) x|$_2$|) x|$_1$|))
\end{lstlisting}
The initializing expression is always evaluated before the body of the
\key{let}, so in the following, the \key{read} for \code{x} is
performed before the \key{read} for \code{y}. Given the input
$52$ then $10$, the following produces $42$ (not $-42$).
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x (read)]) (let ([y (read)]) (+ x (- y))))
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Extensible Interpreters via Method Overriding}
\label{sec:extensible-interp}

To prepare for discussing the interpreter for \LangVar{}, we 
explain why we to implement the interpreter using
object-oriented programming, that is, as a collection of methods
inside of a class. Throughout this book we define many interpreters,
one for each of the languages that we study. Because each language
builds on the prior one, there is a lot of commonality between these
interpreters. We want to write down those common parts just once
instead of many times. A naive approach would be to have, for example,
the interpreter for \LangIf{} handle all of the new features in that
language and then have a default case that dispatches to the
interpreter for \LangVar{}. The following code sketches this idea.
\begin{center}
  \begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (interp-Rvar e)
  (match e
    [(Prim '- (list e))
     (fx- 0 (interp-Rvar e))]
    ...))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
  \begin{lstlisting}
(define (interp-Rif e)
  (match e
    [(If cnd thn els)
     (match (interp-Rif cnd)
       [#t (interp-Rif thn)]
       [#f (interp-Rif els)])]
    ...
    [else (interp-Rvar e)]))    
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
The problem with this approach is that it does not handle situations
in which an \LangIf{} feature, like \code{If}, is nested inside an \LangVar{}
feature, like the \code{-} operator, as in the following program.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Prim '- (list (If (Bool #t) (Int 42) (Int 0))))
\end{lstlisting}
If we invoke \code{interp-Rif} on this program, it dispatches to
\code{interp-Rvar} to handle the \code{-} operator, but then it
recurisvely calls \code{interp-Rvar} again on the argument of \code{-},
which is an \code{If}.  But there is no case for \code{If} in
\code{interp-Rvar}, so we get an error!

To make our interpreters extensible we need something called
\emph{open recursion}\index{subject}{open recursion}, where the tying of the
recursive knot is delayed to when the functions are
composed. Object-oriented languages provide open recursion with the
late-binding of overridden methods\index{subject}{method overriding}. The
following code sketches this idea for interpreting \LangVar{} and
\LangIf{} using the
\href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/classes.html}{\code{class}}
\index{subject}{class} feature of Racket.  We define one class for each
language and define a method for interpreting expressions inside each
class. The class for \LangIf{} inherits from the class for \LangVar{}
and the method \code{interp-exp} in \LangIf{} overrides the
\code{interp-exp} in \LangVar{}. Note that the default case of
\code{interp-exp} in \LangIf{} uses \code{super} to invoke
\code{interp-exp}, and because \LangIf{} inherits from \LangVar{},
that dispatches to the \code{interp-exp} in \LangVar{}.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define interp-Rvar-class
  (class object%
    (define/public (interp-exp e)
      (match e
        [(Prim '- (list e))
         (fx- 0 (interp-exp e))]
        ...))
    ...))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
  \begin{lstlisting}
(define interp-Rif-class
  (class interp-Rvar-class
    (define/override (interp-exp e)
      (match e
        [(If cnd thn els)
         (match (interp-exp cnd)
           [#t (interp-exp thn)]

        ...
        [else (super interp-exp e)]))
    ...
  ))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
Getting back to the troublesome example, repeated here:
\begin{lstlisting}
(define e0 (Prim '- (list (If (Bool #t) (Int 42) (Int 0)))))
\end{lstlisting}
We can invoke the \code{interp-exp} method for \LangIf{} on this
expression by creating an object of the \LangIf{} class and sending it the
\code{interp-exp} method with the argument \code{e0}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(send (new interp-Rif-class) interp-exp e0)
\end{lstlisting}
The default case of \code{interp-exp} in \LangIf{} handles it by
dispatching to the \code{interp-exp} method in \LangVar{}, which
handles the \code{-} operator. But then for the recursive method call,
it dispatches back to \code{interp-exp} in \LangIf{}, where the
\code{If} is handled correctly. Thus, method overriding gives us the
open recursion that we need to implement our interpreters in an
extensible way.

  \begin{tcolorbox}[title=Association Lists as Dictionaries]
  An \emph{association list} (alist) is a list of key-value pairs.
  For example, we can map people to their ages with an alist.
  \index{subject}{alist}\index{subject}{association list}
  \begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily]
  (define ages '((jane . 25) (sam . 24) (kate . 45)))
  \end{lstlisting}
  The \emph{dictionary} interface is for mapping keys to values.
  Every alist implements this interface.  \index{subject}{dictionary} The package
  \href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/dicts.html}{\code{racket/dict}}
  provides many functions for working with dictionaries. Here
  are a few of them:
  \begin{description}
  \item[$\LP\key{dict-ref}\,\itm{dict}\,\itm{key}\RP$]
    returns the value associated with the given $\itm{key}$.
  \item[$\LP\key{dict-set}\,\itm{dict}\,\itm{key}\,\itm{val}\RP$]
    returns a new dictionary that maps $\itm{key}$ to $\itm{val}$
    but otherwise is the same as $\itm{dict}$.
  \item[$\LP\code{in-dict}\,\itm{dict}\RP$] returns the
    \href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/sequences.html}{sequence}
    of keys and values in $\itm{dict}$. For example, the following
    creates a new alist in which the ages are incremented.
  \end{description}
  \vspace{-10pt}
  \begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily]
  (for/list ([(k v) (in-dict ages)])
    (cons k (add1 v)))
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{tcolorbox}
  %\end{wrapfigure}
  \caption{Association lists implement the dictionary interface.}
  \label{fig:alist}
\end{figure}

Having justified the use of classes and methods to implement
interpreters, we turn to the definitional interpreter for \LangVar{}
in Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rvar}. It is similar to the interpreter for
\LangInt{} but adds two new \key{match} cases for variables and
\key{let}.  For \key{let} we need a way to communicate the value bound
to a variable to all the uses of the variable. To accomplish this, we
maintain a mapping from variables to values. Throughout the compiler
we often need to map variables to information about them. We refer to
these mappings as
\emph{environments}\index{subject}{environment}.\footnote{Another common term
  for environment in the compiler literature is \emph{symbol
    table}\index{subject}{symbol table}.}
%
For simplicity, we use an association list (alist) to represent the
environment. Figure~\ref{fig:alist} gives a brief introduction to
alists and the \code{racket/dict} package.  The \code{interp-exp}
function takes the current environment, \code{env}, as an extra
parameter.  When the interpreter encounters a variable, it finds the
corresponding value using the \code{dict-ref} function.  When the
interpreter encounters a \key{Let}, it evaluates the initializing
expression, extends the environment with the result value bound to the
variable, using \code{dict-set}, then evaluates the body of the
\key{Let}.

The goal for this chapter is to implement a compiler that translates
any program $P_1$ written in the \LangVar{} language into an x86 assembly
program $P_2$ such that $P_2$ exhibits the same behavior when run on a
computer as the $P_1$ program interpreted by \code{interp-Rvar}.  That
is, they output the same integer $n$. We depict this correctness
criteria in the following diagram.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
 \node (p1) at (0,  0)   {$P_1$};
 \node (p2) at (4,  0)   {$P_2$};
 \node (o)  at (4, -2) {$n$};

 \path[->] (p1) edge [above] node {\footnotesize compile} (p2);

 \path[->] (p2) edge [right] node {\footnotesize\code{interp-x86int}} (o);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
In the next section we introduce the \LangXInt{} subset of x86 that
suffices for compiling \LangVar{}.

\section{The \LangXInt{} Assembly Language}
\label{sec:x86}
\index{subject}{x86}

Figure~\ref{fig:x86-int-concrete} defines the concrete syntax for
\LangXInt{}.  We use the AT\&T syntax expected by the GNU
assembler.
%
A program begins with a \code{main} label followed by a sequence of
instructions. The \key{globl} directive says that the \key{main}
procedure is externally visible, which is necessary so that the
operating system can call it.  In the grammar, ellipses such as
$\ldots$ are used to indicate a sequence of items, e.g., $\Instr
\ldots$ is a sequence of instructions.\index{subject}{instruction}
%
An x86 program is stored in the computer's memory.  For our purposes,
the computer's memory is a mapping of 64-bit addresses to 64-bit
values.  The computer has a \emph{program counter} (PC)\index{subject}{program
  counter}\index{subject}{PC} stored in the \code{rip} register that points to
the address of the next instruction to be executed.  For most
instructions, the program counter is incremented after the instruction
is executed, so it points to the next instruction in memory.  Most x86
instructions take two operands, where each operand is either an
integer constant (called an \emph{immediate value}\index{subject}{immediate
  value}), a \emph{register}\index{subject}{register}, or a memory location.

\newcommand{\allregisters}{\key{rsp} \mid \key{rbp} \mid \key{rax} \mid \key{rbx} \mid \key{rcx}

\end{figure}

A register is a special kind of variable. Each one holds a 64-bit
value; there are 16 general-purpose registers in the computer and
their names are given in Figure~\ref{fig:x86-int-concrete}.  A register
is written with a \key{\%} followed by the register name, such as
\key{\%rax}.

An immediate value is written using the notation \key{\$}$n$ where $n$
is an integer.
%
%
An access to memory is specified using the syntax $n(\key{\%}r)$,
which obtains the address stored in register $r$ and then adds $n$
bytes to the address. The resulting address is used to load or store
to memory depending on whether it occurs as a source or destination
argument of an instruction.

An arithmetic instruction such as $\key{addq}\,s\key{,}\,d$ reads from the
source $s$ and destination $d$, applies the arithmetic operation, then
writes the result back to the destination $d$.
%
The move instruction $\key{movq}\,s\key{,}\,d$ reads from $s$ and
stores the result in $d$.
%
The $\key{callq}\,\itm{label}$ instruction jumps to the procedure
specified by the label and $\key{retq}$ returns from a procedure to
its caller. 
%
We discuss procedure calls in more detail later in this chapter and in
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rfun}. The instruction $\key{jmp}\,\itm{label}$
updates the program counter to the address of the instruction after
the specified label.

Appendix~\ref{sec:x86-quick-reference} contains a quick-reference for
all of the x86 instructions used in this book.

Figure~\ref{fig:p0-x86} depicts an x86 program that is equivalent to
\code{(+ 10 32)}. The instruction \lstinline{movq $10, %rax}
puts $10$ into register \key{rax} and then \lstinline{addq $32, %rax}
adds $32$ to the $10$ in \key{rax} and
puts the result, $42$, back into \key{rax}.
%
The last instruction, \key{retq}, finishes the \key{main} function by
returning the integer in \key{rax} to the operating system. The
operating system interprets this integer as the program's exit
code. By convention, an exit code of 0 indicates that a program
completed successfully, and all other exit codes indicate various
errors. Nevertheless, in this book we return the result of the program
as the exit code.

\begin{figure}[tbp]

	movq	$10, %rax

	retq
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{An x86 program equivalent to \code{(+ 10 32)}.}
\label{fig:p0-x86}
\end{figure}

The x86 assembly language varies in a couple of ways depending on what
operating system it is assembled in. The code examples shown here are
correct on Linux and most Unix-like platforms, but when assembled on
Mac OS X, labels like \key{main} must be prefixed with an underscore,
as in \key{\_main}.

We exhibit the use of memory for storing intermediate results in the
next example.  Figure~\ref{fig:p1-x86} lists an x86 program that is
equivalent to \code{(+ 52 (- 10))}. This program uses a region of
memory called the \emph{procedure call stack} (or \emph{stack} for
short). \index{subject}{stack}\index{subject}{procedure call stack} The stack consists
of a separate \emph{frame}\index{subject}{frame} for each procedure call. The
memory layout for an individual frame is shown in
Figure~\ref{fig:frame}.  The register \key{rsp} is called the
\emph{stack pointer}\index{subject}{stack pointer} and points to the item at
the top of the stack. The stack grows downward in memory, so we
increase the size of the stack by subtracting from the stack pointer.
In the context of a procedure call, the \emph{return
  address}\index{subject}{return address} is the instruction after the call
instruction on the caller side. The function call instruction,
\code{callq}, pushes the return address onto the stack prior to
jumping to the procedure.  The register \key{rbp} is the \emph{base
  pointer}\index{subject}{base pointer} and is used to access variables that
are stored in the frame of the current procedure call.  The base
pointer of the caller is pushed onto the stack after the return
address and then the base pointer is set to the location of the old
base pointer. In Figure~\ref{fig:frame} we number the variables from
$1$ to $n$. Variable $1$ is stored at address $-8\key{(\%rbp)}$,
variable $2$ at $-16\key{(\%rbp)}$, etc.

\begin{figure}[tbp]

 \ldots  & \ldots \\
0(\key{\%rsp}) & variable $n$\\ \hline
\end{tabular}

\label{fig:frame}
\end{figure}

Getting back to the program in Figure~\ref{fig:p1-x86}, consider how
control is transferred from the operating system to the \code{main}
function.  The operating system issues a \code{callq main} instruction
which pushes its return address on the stack and then jumps to
\code{main}. In x86-64, the stack pointer \code{rsp} must be divisible
by 16 bytes prior to the execution of any \code{callq} instruction, so
when control arrives at \code{main}, the \code{rsp} is 8 bytes out of
alignment (because the \code{callq} pushed the return address).  The
first three instructions are the typical \emph{prelude}\index{subject}{prelude}
for a procedure.  The instruction \code{pushq \%rbp} saves the base
pointer for the caller onto the stack and subtracts $8$ from the stack
pointer. The second instruction \code{movq \%rsp, \%rbp} changes the
base pointer so that it points the location of the old base
pointer. The instruction \code{subq \$16, \%rsp} moves the stack
pointer down to make enough room for storing variables.  This program
needs one variable ($8$ bytes) but we round up to 16 bytes so that
\code{rsp} is 16-byte aligned and we're ready to make calls to other
functions. The last instruction of the prelude is \code{jmp start},
which transfers control to the instructions that were generated from
the Racket expression \code{(+ 52 (- 10))}.

The first instruction under the \code{start} label is
\code{movq \$10, -8(\%rbp)}, which stores $10$ in variable $1$.
%
The instruction \code{negq -8(\%rbp)} changes variable $1$ to $-10$.
%
The next instruction moves the $-10$ from variable $1$ into the
\code{rax} register.  Finally, \code{addq \$52, \%rax} adds $52$ to
the value in \code{rax}, updating its contents to $42$.

The three instructions under the label \code{conclusion} are the
typical \emph{conclusion}\index{subject}{conclusion} of a procedure.  The first
two instructions restore the \code{rsp} and \code{rbp} registers to
the state they were in at the beginning of the procedure.  The
instruction \key{addq \$16, \%rsp} moves the stack pointer back to
point at the old base pointer. Then \key{popq \%rbp} returns the old
base pointer to \key{rbp} and adds $8$ to the stack pointer.  The last
instruction, \key{retq}, jumps back to the procedure that called this
one and adds $8$ to the stack pointer.

The compiler needs a convenient representation for manipulating x86
programs, so we define an abstract syntax for x86 in
Figure~\ref{fig:x86-int-ast}. We refer to this language as
\LangXInt{}. The main difference compared to the concrete syntax of
\LangXInt{} (Figure~\ref{fig:x86-int-concrete}) is that labels are not
allowed in front of every instruction. Instead instructions are
grouped into \emph{blocks}\index{subject}{block}\index{subject}{basic block} with a
label associated with every block, which is why the \key{X86Program}
struct includes an alist mapping labels to blocks. The reason for this
organization becomes apparent in Chapter~\ref{ch:Rif} when we
introduce conditional branching. The \code{Block} structure includes
an $\itm{info}$ field that is not needed for this chapter, but becomes
useful in Chapter~\ref{ch:register-allocation-Rvar}.  For now, the
$\itm{info}$ field should contain an empty list. Also, regarding the
abstract syntax for \code{callq}, the \code{Callq} struct includes an
integer for representing the arity of the function, i.e., the number
of arguments, which is helpful to know during register allocation
(Chapter~\ref{ch:register-allocation-Rvar}).

\section{Planning the trip to x86 via the \LangCVar{} language}
\label{sec:plan-s0-x86}

To compile one language to another it helps to focus on the
differences between the two languages because the compiler will need
to bridge those differences. What are the differences between \LangVar{}
and x86 assembly? Here are some of the most important ones:

\begin{enumerate}
\item[(a)] x86 arithmetic instructions typically have two arguments
  and update the second argument in place. In contrast, \LangVar{}
  arithmetic operations take two arguments and produce a new value.
  An x86 instruction may have at most one memory-accessing argument.
  Furthermore, some instructions place special restrictions on their
  arguments.

\item[(b)] An argument of an \LangVar{} operator can be a deeply-nested
  expression, whereas x86 instructions restrict their arguments to be
  integer constants, registers, and memory locations.

\item[(c)] The order of execution in x86 is explicit in the syntax: a
  sequence of instructions and jumps to labeled positions, whereas in
  \LangVar{} the order of evaluation is a left-to-right depth-first
  traversal of the abstract syntax tree.

\item[(d)] A program in \LangVar{} can have any number of variables
  whereas x86 has 16 registers and the procedure calls stack.

\item[(e)] Variables in \LangVar{} can shadow other variables with the
  same name. In x86, registers have unique names and memory locations
  have unique addresses.
\end{enumerate}

We ease the challenge of compiling from \LangVar{} to x86 by breaking down
the problem into several steps, dealing with the above differences one
at a time.  Each of these steps is called a \emph{pass} of the
compiler.\index{subject}{pass}\index{subject}{compiler pass}
%
This terminology comes from the way each step passes over the AST of
the program.
%
We begin by sketching how we might implement each pass, and give them
names.  We then figure out an ordering of the passes and the
input/output language for each pass. The very first pass has
\LangVar{} as its input language and the last pass has \LangXInt{} as
its output language. In between we can choose whichever language is
most convenient for expressing the output of each pass, whether that
be \LangVar{}, \LangXInt{}, or new \emph{intermediate languages} of
our own design.  Finally, to implement each pass we write one
recursive function per non-terminal in the grammar of the input
language of the pass.  \index{subject}{intermediate language}

\begin{description}
\item[\key{select-instructions}] handles the difference between
  \LangVar{} operations and x86 instructions. This pass converts each
  \LangVar{} operation to a short sequence of instructions that
  accomplishes the same task.

\item[\key{remove-complex-opera*}] ensures that each subexpression of
  a primitive operation is a variable or integer, that is, an
  \emph{atomic} expression. We refer to non-atomic expressions as
  \emph{complex}.  This pass introduces temporary variables to hold
  the results of complex subexpressions.\index{subject}{atomic
    expression}\index{subject}{complex expression}%
  \footnote{The subexpressions of an operation are often called
    operators and operands which explains the presence of
    \code{opera*} in the name of this pass.}
  
\item[\key{explicate-control}] makes the execution order of the
  program explicit. It convert the abstract syntax tree representation
  into a control-flow graph in which each node contains a sequence of
  statements and the edges between nodes say which nodes contain jumps
  to other nodes.

\item[\key{assign-homes}] replaces the variables in \LangVar{} with
  registers or stack locations in x86.

\item[\key{uniquify}] deals with the shadowing of variables by
  renaming every variable to a unique name.
\end{description}

The next question is: in what order should we apply these passes? This
question can be challenging because it is difficult to know ahead of
time which orderings will be better (easier to implement, produce more
efficient code, etc.) so oftentimes trial-and-error is
involved. Nevertheless, we can try to plan ahead and make educated
choices regarding the ordering.

What should be the ordering of \key{explicate-control} with respect to
\key{uniquify}? The \key{uniquify} pass should come first because
\key{explicate-control} changes all the \key{let}-bound variables to
become local variables whose scope is the entire program, which would
confuse variables with the same name.
%
We place \key{remove-complex-opera*} before \key{explicate-control}
because the later removes the \key{let} form, but it is convenient to
use \key{let} in the output of \key{remove-complex-opera*}.
%
The ordering of \key{uniquify} with respect to
\key{remove-complex-opera*} does not matter so we arbitrarily choose
\key{uniquify} to come first.

Last, we consider \key{select-instructions} and \key{assign-homes}.
These two passes are intertwined. In Chapter~\ref{ch:Rfun} we
learn that, in x86, registers are used for passing arguments to
functions and it is preferable to assign parameters to their
corresponding registers. On the other hand, by selecting instructions
first we may run into a dead end in \key{assign-homes}. Recall that
only one argument of an x86 instruction may be a memory access but
\key{assign-homes} might fail to assign even one of them to a
register.
%
A sophisticated approach is to iteratively repeat the two passes until
a solution is found. However, to reduce implementation complexity we
recommend a simpler approach in which \key{select-instructions} comes
first, followed by the \key{assign-homes}, then a third pass named
\key{patch-instructions} that uses a reserved register to fix
outstanding problems.

Figure~\ref{fig:Rvar-passes} presents the ordering of the compiler
passes and identifies the input and output language of each pass.  The
last pass, \key{print-x86}, converts from the abstract syntax of
\LangXInt{} to the concrete syntax.  In the following two sections
we discuss the \LangCVar{} intermediate language and the \LangXVar{}
dialect of x86. The remainder of this chapter gives hints regarding
the implementation of each of the compiler passes in
Figure~\ref{fig:Rvar-passes}.

\subsection{The \LangCVar{} Intermediate Language}

The output of \key{explicate-control} is similar to the $C$
language~\citep{Kernighan:1988nx} in that it has separate syntactic
categories for expressions and statements, so we name it \LangCVar{}.  The
abstract syntax for \LangCVar{} is defined in Figure~\ref{fig:c0-syntax}.
(The concrete syntax for \LangCVar{} is in the Appendix,
Figure~\ref{fig:c0-concrete-syntax}.)
%
The \LangCVar{} language supports the same operators as \LangVar{} but
the arguments of operators are restricted to atomic
expressions. Instead of \key{let} expressions, \LangCVar{} has
assignment statements which can be executed in sequence using the
\key{Seq} form. A sequence of statements always ends with
\key{Return}, a guarantee that is baked into the grammar rules for
\itm{tail}. The naming of this non-terminal comes from the term
\emph{tail position}\index{subject}{tail position}, which refers to an
expression that is the last one to execute within a function.

A \LangCVar{} program consists of a control-flow graph represented as
an alist mapping labels to tails. This is more general than necessary
for the present chapter, as we do not yet introduce \key{goto} for
jumping to labels, but it saves us from having to change the syntax in
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rif}.  For now there will be just one label,
\key{start}, and the whole program is its tail.
%
The $\itm{info}$ field of the \key{CProgram} form, after the
\key{explicate-control} pass, contains a mapping from the symbol
\key{locals} to a list of variables, that is, a list of all the
variables used in the program. At the start of the program, these
variables are uninitialized; they become initialized on their first
assignment.

\begin{figure}[tbp]

\end{array}
\]
\end{minipage}
}
\caption{The abstract syntax of the \LangCVar{} intermediate language.}
\label{fig:c0-syntax}
\end{figure}

The definitional interpreter for \LangCVar{} is in the support code,
in the file \code{interp-Cvar.rkt}.

\subsection{The \LangXVar{} dialect}

The \LangXVar{} language is the output of the pass
\key{select-instructions}. It extends \LangXInt{} with an unbounded
number of program-scope variables and removes the restrictions
regarding instruction arguments.


\section{Uniquify Variables}
\label{sec:uniquify-Rvar}

The \code{uniquify} pass compiles \LangVar{} programs into \LangVar{}
programs in which every \key{let} binds a unique variable name. For
example, the \code{uniquify} pass should translate the program on the
left into the program on the right. 
\begin{transformation}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x 32])
  (+ (let ([x 10]) x) x))
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x.1 32])
  (+ (let ([x.2 10]) x.2) x.1))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}
The following is another example translation, this time of a program
with a \key{let} nested inside the initializing expression of another
\key{let}.
\begin{transformation}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x (let ([x 4])
            (+ x 1))])
  (+ x 2))
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x.2 (let ([x.1 4])
              (+ x.1 1))])
  (+ x.2 2))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}

We recommend implementing \code{uniquify} by creating a structurally
recursive function named \code{uniquify-exp} that mostly just copies
an expression. However, when encountering a \key{let}, it should
generate a unique name for the variable and associate the old name
with the new name in an alist.\footnote{The Racket function
  \code{gensym} is handy for generating unique variable names.} The
\code{uniquify-exp} function needs to access this alist when it gets
to a variable reference, so we add a parameter to \code{uniquify-exp}
for the alist.

The skeleton of the \code{uniquify-exp} function is shown in
Figure~\ref{fig:uniquify-Rvar}.  The function is curried so that it is
convenient to partially apply it to an alist and then apply it to
different expressions, as in the last case for primitive operations in
Figure~\ref{fig:uniquify-Rvar}.  The
%
\href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/for.html#%28form._%28%28lib._racket%2Fprivate%2Fbase..rkt%29._for%2Flist%29%29}{\key{for/list}}
%
form of Racket is useful for transforming each element of a list to
produce a new list.\index{subject}{for/list}

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (uniquify-exp env)
  (lambda (e)
    (match e
      [(Var x) ___]
      [(Int n) (Int n)]
      [(Let x e body) ___]
      [(Prim op es)
       (Prim op (for/list ([e es]) ((uniquify-exp env) e)))])))

(define (uniquify p)
  (match p
    [(Program '() e) (Program '() ((uniquify-exp '()) e))]))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{Skeleton for the \key{uniquify} pass.}

\end{figure}

\begin{exercise}
\normalfont % I don't like the italics for exercises. -Jeremy

Complete the \code{uniquify} pass by filling in the blanks in
Figure~\ref{fig:uniquify-Rvar}, that is, implement the cases for
variables and for the \key{let} form in the file \code{compiler.rkt}
in the support code.
\end{exercise}

\begin{exercise}
\normalfont % I don't like the italics for exercises. -Jeremy
\label{ex:Rvar}

Create five \LangVar{} programs that exercise the most interesting
parts of the \key{uniquify} pass, that is, the programs should include
\key{let} forms, variables, and variables that shadow each other.
The five programs should be placed in the subdirectory named
\key{tests} and the file names should start with \code{var\_test\_}
followed by a unique integer and end with the file extension
\key{.rkt}.
%
The \key{run-tests.rkt} script in the support code checks whether the
output programs produce the same result as the input programs.  The
script uses the \key{interp-tests} function
(Appendix~\ref{appendix:utilities}) from \key{utilities.rkt} to test
your \key{uniquify} pass on the example programs.  The \code{passes}
parameter of \key{interp-tests} is a list that should have one entry
for each pass in your compiler.  For now, define \code{passes} to
contain just one entry for \code{uniquify} as shown below.
\begin{lstlisting}
(define passes 
  (list (list "uniquify" uniquify interp-Rvar type-check-Rvar)))
\end{lstlisting}
Run the \key{run-tests.rkt} script in the support code to check
whether the output programs produce the same result as the input
programs.
\end{exercise}


\section{Remove Complex Operands}
\label{sec:remove-complex-opera-Rvar}

The \code{remove-complex-opera*} pass compiles \LangVar{} programs
into a restricted form in which the arguments of operations are atomic
expressions.  Put another way, this pass removes complex
operands\index{subject}{complex operand}, such as the expression \code{(- 10)}
in the program below. This is accomplished by introducing a new
\key{let}-bound variable, binding the complex operand to the new
variable, and then using the new variable in place of the complex
operand, as shown in the output of \code{remove-complex-opera*} on the
right.
\begin{transformation}
% var_test_19.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x (+ 42 (- 10))])
  (+ x 10))
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x (let ([tmp.1 (- 10)])
            (+ 42 tmp.1))])
   (+ x 10))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}

\begin{figure}[tp]
\centering
\fbox{
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\[
\begin{array}{rcl}
\Atm &::=& \INT{\Int} \mid \VAR{\Var} \\
\Exp &::=& \Atm \mid \READ{} \\
     &\mid& \NEG{\Atm} \mid \ADD{\Atm}{\Atm}  \\
     &\mid&  \LET{\Var}{\Exp}{\Exp} \\
\LangVarANFM{}  &::=& \PROGRAM{\code{'()}}{\Exp}
\end{array}
\]
\end{minipage}
}
\caption{\LangVarANF{} is \LangVar{} with operands restricted to
   atomic expressions, like administrative normal form (ANF).}
\label{fig:Rvar-anf-syntax}
\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{fig:Rvar-anf-syntax} presents the grammar for the output of
this pass, the language \LangVarANF{}. The only difference is that
operator arguments are restricted to be atomic expressions that are
defined by the \Atm{} non-terminal. In particular, integer constants
and variables are atomic. In the literature, restricting arguments to
be atomic expressions is one of the ideas in \emph{administrative
normal form}, or ANF for short~\citep{Danvy:1991fk,Flanagan:1993cg}.
\index{subject}{administrative normal form} \index{subject}{ANF}

We recommend implementing this pass with two mutually recursive
functions, \code{rco-atom} and \code{rco-exp}. The idea is to apply
\code{rco-atom} to subexpressions that need to become atomic and to
apply \code{rco-exp} to subexpressions that do not.  Both functions
take an \LangVar{} expression as input.  The \code{rco-exp} function
returns an expression.  The \code{rco-atom} function returns two
things: an atomic expression and an alist mapping temporary variables to
complex subexpressions. You can return multiple things from a function
using Racket's \key{values} form and you can receive multiple things
from a function call using the \key{define-values} form.
Also, the
\href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/for.html#%28form._%28%28lib._racket%2Fprivate%2Fbase..rkt%29._for%2Flists%29%29}{\code{for/lists}}
  form is useful for applying a function to each element of a list, in
  the case where the function returns multiple values.
  \index{subject}{for/lists}

Returning to the example program with the expression \code{(+ 42 (-
  10))}, the subexpression \code{(- 10)} should be processed using the
\code{rco-atom} function because it is an argument of the \code{+} and
therefore needs to become atomic.  The output of \code{rco-atom}
applied to \code{(- 10)} is as follows.
\begin{transformation}
\begin{lstlisting}
  (- 10)
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}
tmp.1
((tmp.1 . (- 10)))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}

Take special care of programs such as the following that bind a
variable to an atomic expression. You should leave such variable
bindings unchanged, as shown in the program on the right \\
\begin{transformation}
% var_test_20.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([a 42])
  (let ([b a])
    b))
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([a 42])
  (let ([b a])
    b))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}
A careless implementation of \key{rco-exp} and \key{rco-atom} might
produce the following output with unnecessary temporary variables.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([tmp.1 42])
  (let ([a tmp.1])
    (let ([tmp.2 a])
      (let ([b tmp.2])
        b))))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

\begin{exercise}

list of \code{passes} and then run the script to test your compiler.
\begin{lstlisting}

\end{lstlisting}
While debugging your compiler, it is often useful to see the
intermediate programs that are output from each pass. To print the
intermediate programs, place \lstinline{(debug-level 1)} before the call to
\code{interp-tests} in \code{run-tests.rkt}.
\end{exercise}


\section{Explicate Control}
\label{sec:explicate-control-Rvar}

The \code{explicate-control} pass compiles \LangVar{} programs into \LangCVar{}
programs that make the order of execution explicit in their
syntax. For now this amounts to flattening \key{let} constructs into a
sequence of assignment statements. For example, consider the following
\LangVar{} program.\\
% var_test_11.rkt
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([y (let ([x 20])
         (+ x (let ([x 22]) x)))])
  y)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}\\
%
The output of the previous pass and of \code{explicate-control} is
shown below. Recall that the right-hand-side of a \key{let} executes
before its body, so the order of evaluation for this program is to
assign \code{20} to \code{x.1}, \code{22} to \code{x.2}, and
\code{(+ x.1 x.2)} to \code{y}, then return \code{y}. Indeed, the
output of \code{explicate-control} makes this ordering explicit.
\begin{transformation}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([y (let ([x.1 20]) 
           (let ([x.2 22])
             (+ x.1 x.2)))])
 y)
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}[language=C]
start:
  x.1 = 20;
  x.2 = 22;
  y = (+ x.1 x.2);
  return y;
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (explicate-tail e)
  (match e
    [(Var x) ___]
    [(Int n) (Return (Int n))]
    [(Let x rhs body) ___]
    [(Prim op es) ___]
    [else (error "explicate-tail unhandled case" e)]))

(define (explicate-assign e x cont)
  (match e
    [(Var x) ___]
    [(Int n) (Seq (Assign (Var x) (Int n)) cont)]
    [(Let y rhs body) ___]
    [(Prim op es) ___]
    [else (error "explicate-assign unhandled case" e)]))

(define (explicate-control p)
  (match p
    [(Program info body) ___]))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{Skeleton for the \key{explicate-control} pass.}
\label{fig:explicate-control-Rvar}
\end{figure}

The organization of this pass depends on the notion of tail position
that we have alluded to earlier.

\begin{definition}
  The following rules define when an expression is in \textbf{\emph{tail
  position}}\index{subject}{tail position} for the language \LangVar{}.
\begin{enumerate}
\item In $\PROGRAM{\code{()}}{e}$, expression $e$ is in tail position.
\item If $\LET{x}{e_1}{e_2}$ is in tail position, then so is $e_2$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{definition}

We recommend implementing \code{explicate-control} using two mutually
recursive functions, \code{explicate-tail} and
\code{explicate-assign}, as suggested in the skeleton code in
Figure~\ref{fig:explicate-control-Rvar}.  The \code{explicate-tail}
function should be applied to expressions in tail position whereas the
\code{explicate-assign} should be applied to expressions that occur on
the right-hand-side of a \key{let}.
%
The \code{explicate-tail} function takes an \Exp{} in \LangVar{} as
input and produces a \Tail{} in \LangCVar{} (see
Figure~\ref{fig:c0-syntax}).
%
The \code{explicate-assign} function takes an \Exp{} in \LangVar{},
the variable that it is to be assigned to, and a \Tail{} in
\LangCVar{} for the code that comes after the assignment.  The
\code{explicate-assign} function returns a $\Tail$ in \LangCVar{}.

The \code{explicate-assign} function is in accumulator-passing style:
the \code{cont} parameter is used for accumulating the output. This
accumulator-passing style plays an important role in how we generate
high-quality code for conditional expressions in Chapter~\ref{ch:Rif}.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
%
Implement the \code{explicate-control} function in

list of \code{passes} and then run the script to test your compiler.
\begin{lstlisting}
(list "explicate control" explicate-control interp-Cvar type-check-Cvar)  
\end{lstlisting}
\end{exercise}

\section{Select Instructions}
\label{sec:select-Rvar}
\index{subject}{instruction selection}

In the \code{select-instructions} pass we begin the work of
translating from \LangCVar{} to \LangXVar{}. The target language of
this pass is a variant of x86 that still uses variables, so we add an
AST node of the form $\VAR{\itm{var}}$ to the \Arg{} non-terminal of
the \LangXInt{} abstract syntax (Figure~\ref{fig:x86-int-ast}).  We
recommend implementing the \code{select-instructions} with
three auxiliary functions, one for each of the non-terminals of
\LangCVar{}: $\Atm$, $\Stmt$, and $\Tail$.

The cases for $\Atm$ are straightforward; variables stay
the same and integer constants are changed to immediates:
$\INT{n}$ changes to $\IMM{n}$.

Next we consider the cases for $\Stmt$, starting with arithmetic
operations. For example, consider the addition operation. We can use
the \key{addq} instruction, but it performs an in-place update.  So we
could move $\itm{arg}_1$ into the left-hand side \itm{var} and then
add $\itm{arg}_2$ to \itm{var}. 
\begin{transformation}
\begin{lstlisting}
|$\itm{var}$| = (+ |$\itm{arg}_1$| |$\itm{arg}_2$|);
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}
movq |$\itm{arg}_1$|, |$\itm{var}$|
addq |$\itm{arg}_2$|, |$\itm{var}$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}
There are also cases that require special care to avoid generating
needlessly complicated code. For example, if one of the arguments of
the addition is the same variable as the left-hand side of the
assignment, then there is no need for the extra move instruction.  The
assignment statement can be translated into a single \key{addq}
instruction as follows.
\begin{transformation}
\begin{lstlisting}
|$\itm{var}$| = (+ |$\itm{arg}_1$| |$\itm{var}$|);
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}
addq |$\itm{arg}_1$|, |$\itm{var}$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}

The \key{read} operation does not have a direct counterpart in x86
assembly, so we provide this functionality with the function
\code{read\_int} in the file \code{runtime.c}, written in
C~\citep{Kernighan:1988nx}. In general, we refer to all of the
functionality in this file as the \emph{runtime system}\index{subject}{runtime
  system}, or simply the \emph{runtime} for short. When compiling your
generated x86 assembly code, you need to compile \code{runtime.c} to
\code{runtime.o} (an ``object file'', using \code{gcc} option
\code{-c}) and link it into the executable. For our purposes of code
generation, all you need to do is translate an assignment of
\key{read} into a call to the \code{read\_int} function followed by a
move from \code{rax} to the left-hand-side variable.  (Recall that the
return value of a function goes into \code{rax}.)  
\begin{transformation}
\begin{lstlisting}
|$\itm{var}$| = (read);
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}
callq read_int
movq %rax, |$\itm{var}$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}

There are two cases for the $\Tail$ non-terminal: \key{Return} and
\key{Seq}. Regarding \key{Return}, we recommend treating it as an
assignment to the \key{rax} register followed by a jump to the
conclusion of the program (so the conclusion needs to be labeled).
For $\SEQ{s}{t}$, you can translate the statement $s$ and tail $t$
recursively and then append the resulting instructions.

\begin{exercise}
\normalfont Implement the \key{select-instructions} pass in
\code{compiler.rkt}. Create three new example programs that are
designed to exercise all of the interesting cases in this pass.
%
In the \code{run-tests.rkt} script, add the following entry to the
list of \code{passes} and then run the script to test your compiler.
\begin{lstlisting}
(list "instruction selection" select-instructions interp-pseudo-x86-0)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{exercise}


\section{Assign Homes}
\label{sec:assign-Rvar}

The \key{assign-homes} pass compiles \LangXVar{} programs to
\LangXVar{} programs that no longer use program variables.
Thus, the \key{assign-homes} pass is responsible for placing all of
the program variables in registers or on the stack. For runtime
efficiency, it is better to place variables in registers, but as there
are only 16 registers, some programs must necessarily resort to
placing some variables on the stack. In this chapter we focus on the
mechanics of placing variables on the stack. We study an algorithm for
placing variables in registers in
Chapter~\ref{ch:register-allocation-Rvar}.

Consider again the following \LangVar{} program from
Section~\ref{sec:remove-complex-opera-Rvar}.
% var_test_20.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([a 42])
  (let ([b a])
    b))
\end{lstlisting}
The output of \code{select-instructions} is shown on the left and the
output of \code{assign-homes} on the right.  In this example, we
assign variable \code{a} to stack location \code{-8(\%rbp)} and
variable \code{b} to location \code{-16(\%rbp)}.
\begin{transformation}
\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily\footnotesize]
locals-types:
    a : Integer, b : Integer
start: 
    movq $42, a
    movq a, b
    movq b, %rax
    jmp conclusion
\end{lstlisting}
\compilesto
\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily\footnotesize]
stack-space: 16
start:
    movq $42, -8(%rbp)
    movq -8(%rbp), -16(%rbp)
    movq -16(%rbp), %rax
    jmp conclusion
\end{lstlisting}
\end{transformation}

The \code{locals-types} entry in the $\itm{info}$ of the
\code{X86Program} node is an alist mapping all the variables in the
program to their types (for now just \code{Integer}).  The
\code{assign-homes} pass should replace all uses of those variables
with stack locations.  As an aside, the \code{locals-types} entry is
computed by \code{type-check-Cvar} in the support code, which installs
it in the $\itm{info}$ field of the \code{CProgram} node, which should
be propagated to the \code{X86Program} node.

In the process of assigning variables to stack locations, it is
convenient for you to compute and store the size of the frame (in
bytes) in the $\itm{info}$ field of the \key{X86Program} node, with
the key \code{stack-space}, which is needed later to generate the
conclusion of the \code{main} procedure. The x86-64 standard requires
the frame size to be a multiple of 16 bytes.\index{subject}{frame}

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Implement the \key{assign-homes} pass in \code{compiler.rkt}, defining
auxiliary functions for the non-terminals \Arg{}, \Instr{}, and
\Block{}.  We recommend that the auxiliary functions take an extra
parameter that is an alist mapping variable names to homes (stack
locations for now).
%
In the \code{run-tests.rkt} script, add the following entry to the
list of \code{passes} and then run the script to test your compiler.
\begin{lstlisting}
(list "assign homes" assign-homes interp-x86-0)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{exercise}


\section{Patch Instructions}
\label{sec:patch-s0}

The \code{patch-instructions} pass compiles from \LangXVar{} to
\LangXInt{} by making sure that each instruction adheres to the
restriction that at most one argument of an instruction may be a
memory reference.

We return to the following example.\\
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
  % var_test_20.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
   (let ([a 42])
     (let ([b a])
       b))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}\\
The \key{assign-homes} pass produces the following output
for this program. \\
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
stack-space: 16
start:
    movq $42, -8(%rbp)
    movq -8(%rbp), -16(%rbp)
    movq -16(%rbp), %rax
    jmp conclusion
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}\\
The second \key{movq} instruction is problematic because both
arguments are stack locations. We suggest fixing this problem by
moving from the source location to the register \key{rax} and then
from \key{rax} to the destination location, as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
   movq -8(%rbp), %rax
   movq %rax, -16(%rbp)
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Print x86}
\label{sec:print-x86}

The last step of the compiler from \LangVar{} to x86 is to convert the
\LangXInt{} AST (defined in Figure~\ref{fig:x86-int-ast}) to the
string representation (defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:x86-int-concrete}). The Racket \key{format} and
\key{string-append} functions are useful in this regard. The main work
that this step needs to perform is to create the \key{main} function
and the standard instructions for its prelude and conclusion, as shown
in Figure~\ref{fig:p1-x86} of Section~\ref{sec:x86}. You will need to
know the amount of space needed for the stack frame, which you can
obtain from the \code{stack-space} entry in the $\itm{info}$ field of
the \key{X86Program} node.

When running on Mac OS X, you compiler should prefix an underscore to
labels like \key{main}. The Racket call \code{(system-type 'os)} is
useful for determining which operating system the compiler is running
on. It returns \code{'macosx}, \code{'unix}, or \code{'windows}.

\section{Challenge: Partial Evaluator for \LangVar{}}
\label{sec:pe-Rvar}
\index{subject}{partial evaluation}

This section describes optional challenge exercises that involve
adapting and improving the partial evaluator for \LangInt{} that was
introduced in Section~\ref{sec:partial-evaluation}.

\begin{exercise}\label{ex:pe-Rvar}
\normalfont
  
Adapt the partial evaluator from Section~\ref{sec:partial-evaluation}
(Figure~\ref{fig:pe-arith}) so that it applies to \LangVar{} programs
instead of \LangInt{} programs. Recall that \LangVar{} adds \key{let} binding
and variables to the \LangInt{} language, so you will need to add cases for
them in the \code{pe-exp} function. Once complete, add the partial
evaluation pass to the front of your compiler and make sure that your
compiler still passes all of the tests.
\end{exercise}

The next exercise builds on Exercise~\ref{ex:pe-Rvar}.

\begin{exercise}
\normalfont

Improve on the partial evaluator by replacing the \code{pe-neg} and
\code{pe-add} auxiliary functions with functions that know more about
arithmetic. For example, your partial evaluator should translate
\[
\code{(+ 1 (+ (read) 1))} \qquad \text{into} \qquad
\code{(+ 2 (read))}
\]
To accomplish this, the \code{pe-exp} function should produce output
in the form of the $\itm{residual}$ non-terminal of the following
grammar. The idea is that when processing an addition expression, we
can always produce either 1) an integer constant, 2) an addition
expression with an integer constant on the left-hand side but not the
right-hand side, or 3) or an addition expression in which neither
subexpression is a constant.
\[
\begin{array}{lcl}
  \itm{inert} &::=& \Var
    \mid \LP\key{read}\RP
    \mid \LP\key{-} ~\Var\RP
    \mid \LP\key{-} ~\LP\key{read}\RP\RP
    \mid \LP\key{+} ~ \itm{inert} ~ \itm{inert}\RP\\
    &\mid& \LP\key{let}~\LP\LS\Var~\itm{residual}\RS\RP~ \itm{residual} \RP \\  
  \itm{residual} &::=& \Int
    \mid \LP\key{+}~ \Int~ \itm{inert}\RP
    \mid \itm{inert} 
\end{array}
\]
The \code{pe-add} and \code{pe-neg} functions may assume that their
inputs are $\itm{residual}$ expressions and they should return
$\itm{residual}$ expressions.  Once the improvements are complete,
make sure that your compiler still passes all of the tests.  After
all, fast code is useless if it produces incorrect results!

\chapter{Register Allocation}
\label{ch:register-allocation-Rvar}

\index{subject}{register allocation}

In Chapter~\ref{ch:Rvar} we learned how to store variables on the
stack. In this Chapter we learn how to improve the performance of the
generated code by placing some variables into registers.  The CPU can
access a register in a single cycle, whereas accessing the stack can
take 10s to 100s of cycles.  The program in Figure~\ref{fig:reg-eg}
serves as a running example. The source program is on the left and the
output of instruction selection is on the right. The program is almost
in the x86 assembly language but it still uses variables.

\begin{figure}
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
Example \LangVar{} program:
% var_test_28.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([v 1])
  (let ([w 42])

      (let ([y x])
	(let ([z (+ x w)])
	  (+ z (- y)))))))
\end{lstlisting}

    negq t
    movq z, %rax
    addq t, %rax
    jmp conclusion
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\caption{A running example for register allocation.}
\label{fig:reg-eg}
\end{figure}

The goal of register allocation is to fit as many variables into
registers as possible. Some programs have more variables than
registers so we cannot always map each variable to a different
register. Fortunately, it is common for different variables to be
needed during different periods of time during program execution, and
in such cases several variables can be mapped to the same register.
Consider variables \code{x} and \code{z} in Figure~\ref{fig:reg-eg}.
After the variable \code{x} is moved to \code{z} it is no longer
needed.  Variable \code{z}, on the other hand, is used only after this
point, so \code{x} and \code{z} could share the same register. The
topic of Section~\ref{sec:liveness-analysis-Rvar} is how to compute
where a variable is needed.  Once we have that information, we compute
which variables are needed at the same time, i.e., which ones
\emph{interfere} with each other, and represent this relation as an
undirected graph whose vertices are variables and edges indicate when
two variables interfere (Section~\ref{sec:build-interference}). We
then model register allocation as a graph coloring problem
(Section~\ref{sec:graph-coloring}).

If we run out of registers despite these efforts, we place the
remaining variables on the stack, similar to what we did in
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rvar}. It is common to use the verb \emph{spill}
for assigning a variable to a stack location. The decision to spill a
variable is handled as part of the graph coloring process
(Section~\ref{sec:graph-coloring}).

We make the simplifying assumption that each variable is assigned to
one location (a register or stack address). A more sophisticated
approach is to assign a variable to one or more locations in different
regions of the program.  For example, if a variable is used many times
in short sequence and then only used again after many other
instructions, it could be more efficient to assign the variable to a
register during the initial sequence and then move it to the stack for
the rest of its lifetime. We refer the interested reader to
\citet{Cooper:2011aa} for more information about that approach.

% discuss prioritizing variables based on how much they are used.

\section{Registers and Calling Conventions}
\label{sec:calling-conventions}
\index{subject}{calling conventions}

As we perform register allocation, we need to be aware of the
\emph{calling conventions} \index{subject}{calling conventions} that govern how
functions calls are performed in x86.
%
Even though \LangVar{} does not include programmer-defined functions,
our generated code includes a \code{main} function that is called by
the operating system and our generated code contains calls to the
\code{read\_int} function.

Function calls require coordination between two pieces of code that
may be written by different programmers or generated by different
compilers. Here we follow the System V calling conventions that are
used by the GNU C compiler on Linux and
MacOS~\citep{Bryant:2005aa,Matz:2013aa}.
%
The calling conventions include rules about how functions share the
use of registers. In particular, the caller is responsible for freeing
up some registers prior to the function call for use by the callee.
These are called the \emph{caller-saved registers}
\index{subject}{caller-saved registers}
and they are
\begin{lstlisting}
rax rcx rdx rsi rdi r8 r9 r10 r11
\end{lstlisting}
On the other hand, the callee is responsible for preserving the values
of the \emph{callee-saved registers}, \index{subject}{callee-saved registers}
which are
\begin{lstlisting}
rsp rbp rbx r12 r13 r14 r15
\end{lstlisting}

We can think about this caller/callee convention from two points of
view, the caller view and the callee view:
\begin{itemize}
\item The caller should assume that all the caller-saved registers get
  overwritten with arbitrary values by the callee.  On the other hand,
  the caller can safely assume that all the callee-saved registers
  contain the same values after the call that they did before the
  call.
\item The callee can freely use any of the caller-saved registers.
  However, if the callee wants to use a callee-saved register, the
  callee must arrange to put the original value back in the register
  prior to returning to the caller. This can be accomplished by saving
  the value to the stack in the prelude of the function and restoring
  the value in the conclusion of the function.
\end{itemize}

In x86, registers are also used for passing arguments to a function
and for the return value.  In particular, the first six arguments to a
function are passed in the following six registers, in this order.
\begin{lstlisting}
rdi rsi rdx rcx r8 r9
\end{lstlisting}
If there are more than six arguments, then the convention is to use
space on the frame of the caller for the rest of the
arguments. However, in Chapter~\ref{ch:Rfun} we arrange never to
need more than six arguments. For now, the only function we care about
is \code{read\_int} and it takes zero arguments.
%
The register \code{rax} is used for the return value of a function.

The next question is how these calling conventions impact register
allocation. Consider the \LangVar{} program in
Figure~\ref{fig:example-calling-conventions}.  We first analyze this
example from the caller point of view and then from the callee point
of view.

The program makes two calls to the \code{read} function.  Also, the
variable \code{x} is in use during the second call to \code{read}, so
we need to make sure that the value in \code{x} does not get
accidentally wiped out by the call to \code{read}.  One obvious
approach is to save all the values in caller-saved registers to the
stack prior to each function call, and restore them after each
call. That way, if the register allocator chooses to assign \code{x}
to a caller-saved register, its value will be preserved across the
call to \code{read}.  However, saving and restoring to the stack is
relatively slow. If \code{x} is not used many times, it may be better
to assign \code{x} to a stack location in the first place. Or better
yet, if we can arrange for \code{x} to be placed in a callee-saved
register, then it won't need to be saved and restored during function
calls.

The approach that we recommend for variables that are in use during a
function call is to either assign them to callee-saved registers or to
spill them to the stack. On the other hand, for variables that are not
in use during a function call, we try the following alternatives in
order 1) look for an available caller-saved register (to leave room
for other variables in the callee-saved register), 2) look for a
callee-saved register, and 3) spill the variable to the stack.

It is straightforward to implement this approach in a graph coloring
register allocator. First, we know which variables are in use during
every function call because we compute that information for every
instruction (Section~\ref{sec:liveness-analysis-Rvar}). Second, when we
build the interference graph (Section~\ref{sec:build-interference}),
we can place an edge between each of these variables and the
caller-saved registers in the interference graph. This will prevent
the graph coloring algorithm from assigning those variables to
caller-saved registers.

Returning to the example in
Figure~\ref{fig:example-calling-conventions}, let us analyze the
generated x86 code on the right-hand side, focusing on the
\code{start} block. Notice that variable \code{x} is assigned to
\code{rbx}, a callee-saved register. Thus, it is already in a safe
place during the second call to \code{read\_int}. Next, notice that
variable \code{y} is assigned to \code{rcx}, a caller-saved register,
because there are no function calls in the remainder of the block.

Next we analyze the example from the callee point of view, focusing on
the prelude and conclusion of the \code{main} function. As usual the
prelude begins with saving the \code{rbp} register to the stack and
setting the \code{rbp} to the current stack pointer. We now know why
it is necessary to save the \code{rbp}: it is a callee-saved register.
The prelude then pushes \code{rbx} to the stack because 1) \code{rbx}
is a callee-saved register and 2) \code{rbx} is assigned to a variable
(\code{x}). The other callee-saved registers are not saved in the
prelude because they are not used. The prelude subtracts 8 bytes from
the \code{rsp} to make it 16-byte aligned and then jumps to the
\code{start} block. Shifting attention to the \code{conclusion}, we
see that \code{rbx} is restored from the stack with a \code{popq}
instruction.  \index{subject}{prelude}\index{subject}{conclusion}

\section{Liveness Analysis}
\label{sec:liveness-analysis-Rvar}
\index{subject}{liveness analysis}

The \code{uncover-live} pass performs \emph{liveness analysis}, that
is, it discovers which variables are in-use in different regions of a
program.
%
A variable or register is \emph{live} at a program point if its
current value is used at some later point in the program.  We 
refer to variables and registers collectively as \emph{locations}.
%
Consider the following code fragment in which there are two writes to
\code{b}. Are \code{a} and \code{b} both live at the same time?
\begin{center}
  \begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}[numbers=left,numberstyle=\tiny]
movq $5, a
movq $30, b
movq a, c
movq $10, b
addq b, c
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
The answer is no because \code{a} is live from line 1 to 3 and
\code{b} is live from line 4 to 5.  The integer written to \code{b} on
line 2 is never used because it is overwritten (line 4) before the
next read (line 5).

The live locations can be computed by traversing the instruction
sequence back to front (i.e., backwards in execution order).  Let
$I_1,\ldots, I_n$ be the instruction sequence. We write
$L_{\mathsf{after}}(k)$ for the set of live locations after
instruction $I_k$ and $L_{\mathsf{before}}(k)$ for the set of live
locations before instruction $I_k$. We recommend represeting these
sets with the Racket \code{set} data structure described in
Figure~\ref{fig:set}.

\begin{figure}[tp]

  \begin{tcolorbox}[title=\href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/sets.html}{The Racket Set Package}]
    A \emph{set} is an unordered collection of elements without duplicates.
    Here are some of the operations defined on sets.
    \index{subject}{set}
  \begin{description}
  \item[$\LP\code{set}~v~\ldots\RP$] constructs a set containing the specified elements.
  \item[$\LP\code{set-union}~set_1~set_2\RP$] returns the union of the two sets.
  \item[$\LP\code{set-subtract}~set_1~set_2\RP$] returns the set
    difference of the two sets.
  \item[$\LP\code{set-member?}~set~v\RP$] answers whether element $v$ is in $set$.
  \item[$\LP\code{set-count}~set\RP$] returns the number of unique elements in $set$.
  \item[$\LP\code{set->list}~set\RP$] converts $set$ to a list.
  \end{description}
  \end{tcolorbox}
  %\end{wrapfigure}
  \caption{The \code{set} data structure.}
  \label{fig:set}
\end{figure}

The live locations after an instruction are always the same as the
live locations before the next instruction.
\index{subject}{live-after} \index{subject}{live-before}
\begin{equation} \label{eq:live-after-before-next}
  L_{\mathsf{after}}(k) = L_{\mathsf{before}}(k+1)
\end{equation}
To start things off, there are no live locations after the last
instruction, so
\begin{equation}\label{eq:live-last-empty}
  L_{\mathsf{after}}(n) = \emptyset
\end{equation}
We then apply the following rule repeatedly, traversing the
instruction sequence back to front.
\begin{equation}\label{eq:live-before-after-minus-writes-plus-reads}
  L_{\mathtt{before}}(k) = (L_{\mathtt{after}}(k) - W(k)) \cup R(k),
\end{equation}
where $W(k)$ are the locations written to by instruction $I_k$ and
$R(k)$ are the locations read by instruction $I_k$.

There is a special case for \code{jmp} instructions.  The locations
that are live before a \code{jmp} should be the locations in
$L_{\mathtt{before}}$ at the target of the jump. So we recommend
maintaining an alist named \code{label->live} that maps each label to
the $L_{\mathtt{before}}$ for the first instruction in its block. For
now the only \code{jmp} in a \LangXVar{} program is the one at the
end, to the conclusion. (For example, see Figure~\ref{fig:reg-eg}.)
The conclusion reads from \ttm{rax} and \ttm{rsp}, so the alist should
map \code{conclusion} to the set $\{\ttm{rax},\ttm{rsp}\}$.

Let us walk through the above example, applying these formulas
starting with the instruction on line 5. We collect the answers in
Figure~\ref{fig:liveness-example-0}.  The $L_{\mathsf{after}}$ for the
\code{addq b, c} instruction is $\emptyset$ because it is the last
instruction (formula~\ref{eq:live-last-empty}).  The
$L_{\mathsf{before}}$ for this instruction is $\{\ttm{b},\ttm{c}\}$
because it reads from variables \code{b} and \code{c}
(formula~\ref{eq:live-before-after-minus-writes-plus-reads}), that is
\[
   L_{\mathsf{before}}(5) = (\emptyset - \{\ttm{c}\}) \cup \{ \ttm{b}, \ttm{c} \} = \{ \ttm{b}, \ttm{c} \}
\]
Moving on the the instruction \code{movq \$10, b} at line 4, we copy
the live-before set from line 5 to be the live-after set for this
instruction (formula~\ref{eq:live-after-before-next}).
\[
  L_{\mathsf{after}}(4) = \{ \ttm{b}, \ttm{c} \}
\]
This move instruction writes to \code{b} and does not read from any
variables, so we have the following live-before set
(formula~\ref{eq:live-before-after-minus-writes-plus-reads}).
\[
  L_{\mathsf{before}}(4) = (\{\ttm{b},\ttm{c}\} - \{\ttm{b}\}) \cup \emptyset = \{ \ttm{c} \}
\]
The live-before for instruction \code{movq a, c}
is $\{\ttm{a}\}$ because it writes to $\{\ttm{c}\}$ and reads from $\{\ttm{a}\}$
(formula~\ref{eq:live-before-after-minus-writes-plus-reads}).  The
live-before for \code{movq \$30, b} is $\{\ttm{a}\}$ because it writes to a
variable that is not live and does not read from a variable.
Finally, the live-before for \code{movq \$5, a} is $\emptyset$
because it writes to variable \code{a}.

structure.
%
We recommend creating an auxiliary function that takes a list of
instructions and an initial live-after set (typically empty) and
returns the list of live-after sets.
%
We also recommend creating auxiliary functions to 1) compute the set
of locations that appear in an \Arg{}, 2) compute the locations read
by an instruction (the $R$ function), and 3) the locations written by
an instruction (the $W$ function). The \code{callq} instruction should
include all of the caller-saved registers in its write-set $W$ because
the calling convention says that those registers may be written to
during the function call. Likewise, the \code{callq} instruction
should include the appropriate argument-passing registers in its
read-set $R$, depending on the arity of the function being
called. (This is why the abstract syntax for \code{callq} includes the
arity.)

    A \emph{graph} is a collection of vertices and edges where each
    edge connects two vertices.  A graph is \emph{directed} if each
    edge points from a source to a target.  Otherwise the graph is
    \emph{undirected}.

Based on the liveness analysis, we know where each location is live.
However, during register allocation, we need to answer questions of
the specific form: are locations $u$ and $v$ live at the same time?
(And therefore cannot be assigned to the same register.)  To make this
question more efficient to answer, we create an explicit data
structure, an \emph{interference graph}\index{subject}{interference
  graph}.  An interference graph is an undirected graph that has an
edge between two locations if they are live at the same time, that is,
if they interfere with each other. We recommend using the Racket
\code{graph} package (Figure~\ref{fig:graph}) to represent
the interference graph.

An obvious way to compute the interference graph is to look at the set
of live locations between each instruction and the next and add an edge to the graph
for every pair of variables in the same set.  This approach is less
than ideal for two reasons. First, it can be expensive because it
takes $O(n^2)$ time to consider at every pair in a set of $n$ live
locations. Second, in the special case where two locations hold the
same value (because one was assigned to the other), they can be live
at the same time without interfering with each other.

A better way to compute the interference graph is to focus on
writes~\citep{Appel:2003fk}. The writes performed by an instruction
must not overwrite something in a live location. So for each
instruction, we create an edge between the locations being written to
and the live locations. (Except that one should not create self
edges.)  Note that for the \key{callq} instruction, we consider all of
the caller-saved registers as being written to, so an edge is added
between every live variable and every caller-saved register. For
\key{movq}, we deal with the above-mentioned special case by not
adding an edge between a live variable $v$ and the destination if $v$
matches the source. So we have the following two rules.

\begin{enumerate}
\item If instruction $I_k$ is a move such as \key{movq} $s$\key{,}
  $d$, then add the edge $(d,v)$ for every $v \in
  L_{\mathsf{after}}(k)$ unless $v = d$ or $v = s$.

\item For any other instruction $I_k$, for every $d \in W(k)$
  add an edge $(d,v)$ for every $v \in L_{\mathsf{after}}(k)$ unless $v = d$.
  
%% \item If instruction $I_k$ is an arithmetic instruction such as
%%   \code{addq} $s$\key{,} $d$, then add the edge $(d,v)$ for every $v \in
%%   L_{\mathsf{after}}(k)$ unless $v = d$.

%% \item If instruction $I_k$ is of the form \key{callq}
%%   $\mathit{label}$, then add an edge $(r,v)$ for every caller-saved
%%   register $r$ and every variable $v \in L_{\mathsf{after}}(k)$.
\end{enumerate}

Working from the top to bottom of Figure~\ref{fig:live-eg}, we apply
the above rules to each instruction. We highlight a few of the
instructions.  The first instruction is \lstinline{movq $1, v} and the
live-after set is $\{\ttm{v},\ttm{rsp}\}$. Rule 1 applies, so \code{v}
interferes with \code{rsp}.
%
The fourth instruction is \lstinline{addq $7, x} and the live-after
set is $\{\ttm{w},\ttm{x},\ttm{rsp}\}$. Rule 2 applies so $\ttm{x}$
interferes with \ttm{w} and \ttm{rsp}.
%
The next instruction is \lstinline{movq x, y} and the live-after set
is $\{\ttm{w},\ttm{x},\ttm{y},\ttm{rsp}\}$. Rule 1 applies, so \ttm{y}
interferes with \ttm{w} and \ttm{rsp} but not \ttm{x} because \ttm{x}
is the source of the move and therefore \ttm{x} and \ttm{y} hold the
same value. Figure~\ref{fig:interference-results} lists the
interference results for all of the instructions and the resulting
interference graph is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:interfere}.

\section{Graph Coloring via Sudoku}
\label{sec:graph-coloring}
\index{subject}{graph coloring}
\index{subject}{Sudoku}
\index{subject}{color}

We come to the main event, mapping variables to registers and stack
locations. Variables that interfere with each other must be mapped to
different locations.  In terms of the interference graph, this means
that adjacent vertices must be mapped to different locations.  If we
think of locations as colors, the register allocation problem becomes
the graph coloring problem~\citep{Balakrishnan:1996ve,Rosen:2002bh}.

The reader may be more familiar with the graph coloring problem than he
or she realizes; the popular game of Sudoku is an instance of the
graph coloring problem. The following describes how to build a graph
out of an initial Sudoku board.
\begin{itemize}
\item There is one vertex in the graph for each Sudoku square.
\item There is an edge between two vertices if the corresponding squares
  are in the same row, in the same column, or if the squares are in
  the same $3\times 3$ region.
\item Choose nine colors to correspond to the numbers $1$ to $9$.
\item Based on the initial assignment of numbers to squares in the
  Sudoku board, assign the corresponding colors to the corresponding
  vertices in the graph.
\end{itemize}
If you can color the remaining vertices in the graph with the nine
colors, then you have also solved the corresponding game of Sudoku.
Figure~\ref{fig:sudoku-graph} shows an initial Sudoku game board and
the corresponding graph with colored vertices.  We map the Sudoku
number 1 to black, 2 to white, and 3 to gray.  We only show edges for a
sampling of the vertices (the colored ones) because showing edges for
all of the vertices would make the graph unreadable.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{figs/sudoku}
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{figs/sudoku-graph-bw}
\caption{A Sudoku game board and the corresponding colored graph.}
\label{fig:sudoku-graph}
\end{figure}

Some techniques for playing Sudoku correspond to heuristics used in
graph coloring algorithms.  For example, one of the basic techniques
for Sudoku is called Pencil Marks. The idea is to use a process of
elimination to determine what numbers are no longer available for a
square and write down those numbers in the square (writing very
small). For example, if the number $1$ is assigned to a square, then
write the pencil mark $1$ in all the squares in the same row, column,
and region to indicate that $1$ is no longer an option for those other
squares.
%
The Pencil Marks technique corresponds to the notion of
\emph{saturation}\index{subject}{saturation} due to \cite{Brelaz:1979eu}.  The
saturation of a vertex, in Sudoku terms, is the set of numbers that
are no longer available. In graph terminology, we have the following
definition:
\begin{equation*}
  \mathrm{saturation}(u) = \{ c \;|\; \exists v. v \in \mathrm{neighbors}(u)
     \text{ and } \mathrm{color}(v) = c \}
\end{equation*}
where $\mathrm{neighbors}(u)$ is the set of vertices that share an
edge with $u$.

Using the Pencil Marks technique leads to a simple strategy for
filling in numbers: if there is a square with only one possible number
left, then choose that number! But what if there are no squares with
only one possibility left? One brute-force approach is to try them
all: choose the first one and if that ultimately leads to a solution,
great.  If not, backtrack and choose the next possibility.  One good
thing about Pencil Marks is that it reduces the degree of branching in
the search tree. Nevertheless, backtracking can be terribly time
consuming. One way to reduce the amount of backtracking is to use the
most-constrained-first heuristic. That is, when choosing a square,
always choose one with the fewest possibilities left (the vertex with
the highest saturation).  The idea is that choosing highly constrained
squares earlier rather than later is better because later on there may
not be any possibilities left in the highly saturated squares.

However, register allocation is easier than Sudoku because the
register allocator can map variables to stack locations when the
registers run out. Thus, it makes sense to replace backtracking with
greedy search: make the best choice at the time and keep going. We
still wish to minimize the number of colors needed, so we use the
most-constrained-first heuristic in the greedy search.
Figure~\ref{fig:satur-algo} gives the pseudo-code for a simple greedy
algorithm for register allocation based on saturation and the
most-constrained-first heuristic. It is roughly equivalent to the
DSATUR
algorithm~\citep{Brelaz:1979eu,Gebremedhin:1999fk,Omari:2006uq}.  Just
as in Sudoku, the algorithm represents colors with integers. The
integers $0$ through $k-1$ correspond to the $k$ registers that we use
for register allocation. The integers $k$ and larger correspond to
stack locations. The registers that are not used for register
allocation, such as \code{rax}, are assigned to negative integers. In
particular, we assign $-1$ to \code{rax} and $-2$ to \code{rsp}.

%% One might wonder why we include registers at all in the liveness
%% analysis and interference graph. For example, we never allocate a
%% variable to \code{rax} and \code{rsp}, so it would be harmless to
%% leave them out.  As we see in Chapter~\ref{ch:Rvec}, when we begin
%% to use register for passing arguments to functions, it will be
%% necessary for those registers to appear in the interference graph
%% because those registers will also be assigned to variables, and we
%% don't want those two uses to encroach on each other. Regarding
%% registers such as \code{rax} and \code{rsp} that are not used for
%% variables, we could omit them from the interference graph but that
%% would require adding special cases to our algorithm, which would
%% complicate the logic for little gain.

\end{figure}

With the DSATUR algorithm in hand, let us return to the running
example and consider how to color the interference graph in
Figure~\ref{fig:interfere}.
%
We start by assigning the register nodes to their own color. For
example, \code{rax} is assigned the color $-1$ and \code{rsp} is
assigned $-2$.  The variables are not yet colored, so they are
annotated with a dash. We then update the saturation for vertices that
are adjacent to a register, obtaining the following annotated
graph. For example, the saturation for \code{t} is $\{-1,-2\}$ because
it interferes with both \code{rax} and \code{rsp}.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (10,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1\}$};
\node (t1) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:-,\{-1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (v) at (10,0)  {$\ttm{v}:-,\{-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t1) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);
\draw (y) to (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
The algorithm says to select a maximally saturated vertex. So we pick
$\ttm{t}$ and color it with the first available integer, which is
$0$. We mark $0$ as no longer available for $\ttm{z}$, $\ttm{rax}$,
and \ttm{rsp} because they interfere with $\ttm{t}$.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (10,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1,0\}$};
\node (t1) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:0,\{-1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:-,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (v) at (10,0)  {$\ttm{v}:-,\{-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t1) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);

\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
We repeat the process, selecting the next maximally saturated vertex,
which is \code{z}, and color it with the first available number, which
is $1$. We add $1$ to the saturation for the neighboring vertices
\code{t}, \code{y}, \code{w}, and \code{rsp}.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (10,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1,0,1\}$};
\node (t1) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:0,\{-1,1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:-,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:-,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (v) at (10,0)  {$\ttm{v}:-,\{-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t1) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);
\draw (y) to (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
The most saturated vertices are now \code{w} and \code{y}. We color
\code{w} with the first available color, which is $0$.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (10,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1,0,1\}$};
\node (t1) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:0,\{-1,1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:-,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:-,\{0,1,-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:0,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (v) at (10,0)  {$\ttm{v}:-,\{0,-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t1) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);
\draw (y) to (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
Vertex \code{y} is now the most highly saturated, so we color \code{y}
with $2$.  We cannot choose $0$ or $1$ because those numbers are in
\code{y}'s saturation set. Indeed, \code{y} interferes with \code{w}
and \code{z}, whose colors are $0$ and $1$ respectively.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (10,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1,0,1,2\}$};
\node (t1) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:0,\{-1,1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:1,\{0,2,-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:-,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:2,\{0,1,-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:0,\{1,2,-2\}$};
\node (v) at (10,0)  {$\ttm{v}:-,\{0,-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t1) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);
\draw (y) to (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
Now \code{x} and \code{v} are the most saturated, so we color \code{v} with $1$.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};

We recommend creating an auxiliary function named \code{color-graph}
that takes an interference graph and a list of all the variables in
the program. This function should return a mapping of variables to
their colors (represented as natural numbers). By creating this helper
function, you will be able to reuse it in Chapter~\ref{ch:Rfun}
when we add support for functions.

To prioritize the processing of highly saturated nodes inside the
\code{color-graph} function, we recommend using the priority queue
data structure described in Figure~\ref{fig:priority-queue}. In
addition, you will need to maintain a mapping from variables to their
``handles'' in the priority queue so that you can notify the priority
queue when their saturation changes.

\begin{figure}[tp]
%\begin{wrapfigure}[25]{r}[0.75in]{0.55\textwidth}
  \small
  \begin{tcolorbox}[title=Priority Queue]
    A \emph{priority queue} is a collection of items in which the
    removal of items is governed by priority. In a ``min'' queue,
    lower priority items are removed first. An implementation is in
    \code{priority\_queue.rkt} of the support code.  \index{subject}{priority
      queue} \index{subject}{minimum priority queue}
  \begin{description}
  \item[$\LP\code{make-pqueue}\,\itm{cmp}\RP$] constructs an empty
    priority queue that uses the $\itm{cmp}$ predicate to determine
    whether its first argument has lower or equal priority to its
    second argument.
  \item[$\LP\code{pqueue-count}\,\itm{queue}\RP$] returns the number of
    items in the queue.
  \item[$\LP\code{pqueue-push!}\,\itm{queue}\,\itm{item}\RP$] inserts
    the item into the queue and returns a handle for the item in the
    queue.
  \item[$\LP\code{pqueue-pop!}\,\itm{queue}\RP$] returns the item with
    the lowest priority.
  \item[$\LP\code{pqueue-decrease-key!}\,\itm{queue}\,\itm{handle}\RP$]
    notifies the queue that the priority has decreased for the item
    associated with the given handle.
  \end{description}
\end{tcolorbox}
  %\end{wrapfigure}
  \caption{The priority queue data structure.}
  \label{fig:priority-queue}
\end{figure}

With the coloring complete, we finalize the assignment of variables to
registers and stack locations. We map the first $k$ colors to the $k$
registers and the rest of the colors to stack locations.  Suppose for
the moment that we have just one register to use for register
allocation, \key{rcx}. Then we have the following map from colors to
locations.
\[
  \{ 0 \mapsto \key{\%rcx}, \; 1 \mapsto \key{-8(\%rbp)}, \; 2 \mapsto \key{-16(\%rbp)} \}
\]
Composing this mapping with the coloring, we arrive at the following
assignment of variables to locations.
\begin{gather*}
  \{ \ttm{v} \mapsto \key{-8(\%rbp)}, \,
     \ttm{w} \mapsto \key{\%rcx},  \,
     \ttm{x} \mapsto \key{-8(\%rbp)}, \,
     \ttm{y} \mapsto \key{-16(\%rbp)}, \\
     \ttm{z} \mapsto \key{-8(\%rbp)}, \,
     \ttm{t} \mapsto \key{\%rcx} \}
\end{gather*}

Adapt the code from the \code{assign-homes} pass
(Section~\ref{sec:assign-Rvar}) to replace the variables with their
assigned location. Applying the above assignment to our running
example, on the left, yields the program on the right.

\section{Patch Instructions}
\label{sec:patch-instructions}

The remaining step in the compilation to x86 is to ensure that the
instructions have at most one argument that is a memory access.
In the running example, the instruction \code{movq -8(\%rbp), -16(\%rbp)}
is problematic. The fix is to first move \code{-8(\%rbp)}
into \code{rax} and then move \code{rax} into \code{-16(\%rbp)}.
%
The two moves from \code{-8(\%rbp)} to \code{-8(\%rbp)} are also
problematic, but they can be fixed by simply deleting them. In
general, we recommend deleting all the trivial moves whose source and
destination are the same location.

\section{Print x86}
\label{sec:print-x86-reg-alloc}
\index{subject}{calling conventions}
\index{subject}{prelude}\index{subject}{conclusion}

Recall that the \code{print-x86} pass generates the prelude and
conclusion instructions to satisfy the x86 calling conventions
(Section~\ref{sec:calling-conventions}). With the addition of the
register allocator, the callee-saved registers used by the register
allocator must be saved in the prelude and restored in the conclusion.
In the \code{allocate-registers} pass, add an entry to the \itm{info}
of \code{X86Program} named \code{used-callee} that stores the set of
callee-saved registers that were assigned to variables. The
\code{print-x86} pass can then access this information to decide which
callee-saved registers need to be saved and restored.
%
When calculating the size of the frame to adjust the \code{rsp} in the
prelude, make sure to take into account the space used for saving the
callee-saved registers. Also, don't forget that the frame needs to be
a multiple of 16 bytes!

An overview of all of the passes involved in register allocation is
shown in Figure~\ref{fig:reg-alloc-passes}.

\section{Challenge: Move Biasing}
\label{sec:move-biasing}
\index{subject}{move biasing}

This section describes an enhancement to the register allocator for
students looking for an extra challenge or who have a deeper interest
in register allocation.

To motivate the need for move biasing we return to the running example
but this time use all of the general purpose registers.  So we have
the following mapping of color numbers to registers.
\[
  \{ 0 \mapsto \key{\%rcx}, \; 1 \mapsto \key{\%rdx}, \; 2 \mapsto \key{\%rsi} \}
\]
Using the same assignment of variables to color numbers that was
produced by the register allocator described in the last section, we
get the following program.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
movq $1, v
movq $42, w
movq v, x
addq $7, x
movq x, y
movq x, z
addq w, z
movq y, t
negq t
movq z, %rax
addq t, %rax
jmp conclusion
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
$\Rightarrow\qquad$
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
movq $1, %rdx
movq $42, %rcx
movq %rdx, %rdx
addq $7, %rdx
movq %rdx, %rsi
movq %rdx, %rdx
addq %rcx, %rdx
movq %rsi, %rcx
negq %rcx
movq %rdx, %rax
addq %rcx, %rax
jmp conclusion
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
In the above output code there are two \key{movq} instructions that
can be removed because their source and target are the same.  However,
if we had put \key{t}, \key{v}, \key{x}, and \key{y} into the same
register, we could instead remove three \key{movq} instructions.  We
can accomplish this by taking into account which variables appear in
\key{movq} instructions with which other variables.

We say that two variables $p$ and $q$ are \emph{move
  related}\index{subject}{move related} if they participate together in a
\key{movq} instruction, that is, \key{movq} $p$\key{,} $q$ or
\key{movq} $q$\key{,} $p$. When the register allocator chooses a color
for a variable, it should prefer a color that has already been used
for a move-related variable (assuming that they do not interfere). Of
course, this preference should not override the preference for
registers over stack locations. This preference should be used as a
tie breaker when choosing between registers or when choosing between
stack locations.

We recommend representing the move relationships in a graph, similar
to how we represented interference.  The following is the \emph{move
  graph} for our running example.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}$};
\node (rsp) at (9,2) {$\ttm{rsp}$};
\node (t) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}$};
\node (v) at (9,0)  {$\ttm{v}$};

\draw (v) to (x);
\draw (x) to (y);
\draw (x) to (z);
\draw (y) to (t);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]

Now we replay the graph coloring, pausing to see the coloring of
\code{y}. Recall the following configuration. The most saturated vertices
were \code{w} and \code{y}.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (9,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1,0,1,2\}$};
\node (t1) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:0,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:-,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:-,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (v) at (9,0)  {$\ttm{v}:-,\{-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t1) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);
\draw (y) to (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
%
Last time we chose to color \code{w} with $0$. But this time we see
that \code{w} is not move related to any vertex, but \code{y} is move
related to \code{t}.  So we choose to color \code{y} the same color as
\code{t}, $0$.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (9,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1,0,1,2\}$};
\node (t1) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:0,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:-,\{-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:0,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:-,\{0,1,-2\}$};
\node (v) at (9,0)  {$\ttm{v}:-,\{-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t1) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);
\draw (y) to (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
Now \code{w} is the most saturated, so we color it $2$.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (9,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1,0,1,2\}$};
\node (t1) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:0,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:1,\{0,2,-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:-,\{2,-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:0,\{1,2,-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:2,\{0,1,-2\}$};
\node (v) at (9,0)  {$\ttm{v}:-,\{2,-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t1) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);
\draw (y) to (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]
At this point, vertices \code{x} and \code{v} are most saturated, but
\code{x} is move related to \code{y} and \code{z}, so we color
\code{x} to $0$ to match \code{y}. Finally, we color \code{v} to $0$.
\[
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(current  bounding  box.center)]
\node (rax) at (0,0) {$\ttm{rax}:-1,\{0,-2\}$};
\node (rsp) at (9,2) {$\ttm{rsp}:-2,\{-1,0,1,2\}$};
\node (t) at (0,2) {$\ttm{t}:0,\{1,-2\}$};
\node (z) at (3,2)  {$\ttm{z}:1,\{0,2,-2\}$};
\node (x) at (6,2)  {$\ttm{x}:0,\{2,-2\}$};
\node (y) at (3,0)  {$\ttm{y}:0,\{1,2,-2\}$};
\node (w) at (6,0)  {$\ttm{w}:2,\{0,1,-2\}$};
\node (v) at (9,0)  {$\ttm{v}:0,\{2,-2\}$};

\draw (t1) to (rax);
\draw (t) to (z);
\draw (z) to (y);
\draw (z) to (w);
\draw (x) to (w);
\draw (y) to (w);
\draw (v) to (w);

\draw (v) to (rsp);
\draw (w) to (rsp);
\draw (x) to (rsp);
\draw (y) to (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=15] (z) edge node {} (rsp);
\path[-.,bend left=10] (t1) edge node {} (rsp);
\draw (rax) to (rsp);
\end{tikzpicture}
\]

So we have the following assignment of variables to registers.
\begin{gather*}
  \{ \ttm{v} \mapsto \key{\%rcx}, \,
     \ttm{w} \mapsto \key{\%rsi}, \,
     \ttm{x} \mapsto \key{\%rcx}, \,
     \ttm{y} \mapsto \key{\%rcx}, \,
     \ttm{z} \mapsto \key{\%rdx}, \,
     \ttm{t} \mapsto \key{\%rcx} \}
\end{gather*}

We apply this register assignment to the running example, on the left,
to obtain the code in the middle.  The \code{patch-instructions} then
removes the three trivial moves to obtain the code on the right.

%% \subsection{Output of the Running Example}
%% \label{sec:reg-alloc-output}

Figure~\ref{fig:running-example-x86} shows the x86 code generated for
the running example (Figure~\ref{fig:reg-eg}) with register allocation
and move biasing. To demonstrate both the use of registers and the
stack, we have limited the register allocator to use just two
registers: \code{rbx} and \code{rcx}.  In the prelude\index{subject}{prelude}
of the \code{main} function, we push \code{rbx} onto the stack because
it is a callee-saved register and it was assigned to variable by the
register allocator.  We subtract \code{8} from the \code{rsp} at the
end of the prelude to reserve space for the one spilled variable.
After that subtraction, the \code{rsp} is aligned to 16 bytes.

Moving on the the \code{start} block, we see how the registers were
allocated. Variables \code{v}, \code{x}, and \code{y} were assigned to
\code{rbx} and variable \code{z} was assigned to \code{rcx}.  Variable
\code{w} was spilled to the stack location \code{-16(\%rbp)}.  Recall
that the prelude saved the callee-save register \code{rbx} onto the
stack. The spilled variables must be placed lower on the stack than
the saved callee-save registers, so in this case \code{w} is placed at
\code{-16(\%rbp)}.

In the \code{conclusion}\index{subject}{conclusion}, we undo the work that was
done in the prelude. We move the stack pointer up by \code{8} bytes
(the room for spilled variables), then we pop the old values of
\code{rbx} and \code{rbp} (callee-saved registers), and finish with
\code{retq} to return control to the operating system.

\section{Further Reading}
\label{sec:register-allocation-further-reading}

Early register allocation algorithms were developed for Fortran
compilers in the 1950s~\citep{Horwitz:1966aa,Backus:1978aa}.  The use
of graph coloring began in the late 1970s and early 1980s with the
work of \citet{Chaitin:1981vl} on an optimizing compiler for PL/I. The
algorithm is based on the following observation of
\citet{Kempe:1879aa} from the 1870s.  If a graph $G$ has a vertex $v$
with degree lower than $k$, then $G$ is $k$ colorable if the subgraph
of $G$ with $v$ removed is also $k$ colorable. Suppose that the
subgraph is $k$ colorable.  At worst the neighbors of $v$ are assigned
different colors, but since there are less than $k$ of them, there
will be one or more colors left over to use for coloring $v$ in $G$.

The algorithm of \citet{Chaitin:1981vl} removes a vertex $v$ of degree
less than $k$ from the graph and recursively colors the rest of the
graph. Upon returning from the recursion, it colors $v$ with one of
the available colors and returns.  \citet{Chaitin:1982vn} augments
this algorithm to handle spilling as follows. If there are no vertices
of degree lower than $k$ then pick a vertex at random, spill it,
remove it from the graph, and proceed recursively to color the rest of
the graph.

Prior to coloring, \citet{Chaitin:1981vl} merge variables that are
move-related and that don't interfere with each other, a process
called \emph{coalescing}. While coalescing decreases the number of
moves, it can make the graph more difficult to
color. \citet{Briggs:1994kx} propose \emph{conservative coalescing} in
which two variables are merged only if they have fewer than $k$
neighbors of high degree. \citet{George:1996aa} observe that
conservative coalescing is sometimes too conservative and make it more
aggressive by iterating the coalescing with the removal of low-degree
vertices.
%
Attacking the problem from a different angle, \citet{Briggs:1994kx}
also propose \emph{biased coloring} in which a variable is assigned to
the same color as another move-related variable if possible, as
discussed in Section~\ref{sec:move-biasing}.
%
The algorithm of \citet{Chaitin:1981vl} and its successors iteratively
performs coalescing, graph coloring, and spill code insertion until
all variables have been assigned a location.

\citet{Briggs:1994kx} observes that \citet{Chaitin:1982vn} sometimes
spills variables that don't have to be: a high-degree variable can be
colorable if many of its neighbors are assigned the same color.
\citet{Briggs:1994kx} propose \emph{optimistic coloring}, in which a
high-degree vertex is not immediately spilled. Instead the decision is
deferred until after the recursive call, at which point it is apparent
whether there is actually an available color or not. We observe that
this algorithm is equivalent to the smallest-last ordering
algorithm~\citep{Matula:1972aa} if one takes the first $k$ colors to
be registers and the rest to be stack locations.
%% biased coloring
Earlier editions of the compiler course at Indiana University
\citep{Dybvig:2010aa} were based on the algorithm of
\citet{Briggs:1994kx}.

The smallest-last ordering algorithm is one of many \emph{greedy}
coloring algorithms. A greedy coloring algorithm visits all the
vertices in a particular order and assigns each one the first
available color. An \emph{offline} greedy algorithm chooses the
ordering up-front, prior to assigning colors. The algorithm of
\citet{Chaitin:1981vl} should be considered offline because the vertex
ordering does not depend on the colors assigned, so the algorithm
could be split into two phases.  Other orderings are possible. For
example, \citet{Chow:1984ys} order variables according an estimate of
runtime cost.

An \emph{online} greedy coloring algorithm uses information about the
current assignment of colors to influence the order in which the
remaining vertices are colored. The saturation-based algorithm
described in this chapter is one such algorithm. We choose to use
saturation-based coloring is because it is fun to introduce graph
coloring via Sudoku.

A register allocator may choose to map each variable to just one
location, as in \citet{Chaitin:1981vl}, or it may choose to map a
variable to one or more locations. The later can be achieved by
\emph{live range splitting}, where a variable is replaced by several
variables that each handle part of its live
range~\citep{Chow:1984ys,Briggs:1994kx,Cooper:1998ly}.

\citet{Palsberg:2007si} observe that many of the interference graphs
that arise from Java programs in the JoeQ compiler are \emph{chordal},
that is, every cycle with four or more edges has an edge which is not
part of the cycle but which connects two vertices on the cycle. Such
graphs can be optimally colored by the greedy algorithm with a vertex
ordering determined by maximum cardinality search.

In situations where compile time is of utmost importance, such as in
just-in-time compilers, graph coloring algorithms can be too expensive
and the linear scan of \citet{Poletto:1999uq} may be more appropriate.

\chapter{Booleans and Control Flow}
\label{ch:Rif}
\index{subject}{Boolean}
\index{subject}{control flow}
\index{subject}{conditional expression}

The \LangInt{} and \LangVar{} languages only have a single kind of
value, integers. In this chapter we add a second kind of value, the
Booleans, to create the \LangIf{} language. The Boolean values
\emph{true} and \emph{false} are written \key{\#t} and \key{\#f}
respectively in Racket.  The \LangIf{} language includes several
operations that involve Booleans (\key{and}, \key{not}, \key{eq?},
\key{<}, etc.) and the conditional \key{if} expression. With the
addition of \key{if}, programs can have non-trivial control flow which
impacts \code{explicate-control} and liveness analysis. Also, because
we now have two kinds of values, we need to handle programs that apply
an operation to the wrong kind of value, such as \code{(not 1)}.

There are two language design options for such situations.  One option
is to signal an error and the other is to provide a wider
interpretation of the operation. The Racket language uses a mixture of
these two options, depending on the operation and the kind of
value. For example, the result of \code{(not 1)} in Racket is
\code{\#f} because Racket treats non-zero integers as if they were
\code{\#t}. On the other hand, \code{(car 1)} results in a run-time
error in Racket because \code{car} expects a pair.

Typed Racket makes similar design choices as Racket, except much of
the error detection happens at compile time instead of run time. Typed
Racket accepts and runs \code{(not 1)}, producing \code{\#f}. But in
the case of \code{(car 1)}, Typed Racket reports a compile-time error
because Typed Racket expects the type of the argument to be of the
form \code{(Listof T)} or \code{(Pairof T1 T2)}.

The \LangIf{} language performs type checking during compilation like
Typed Racket. In Chapter~\ref{ch:type-dynamic} we study the
alternative choice, that is, a dynamically typed language like Racket.
The \LangIf{} language is a subset of Typed Racket; for some
operations we are more restrictive, for example, rejecting
\code{(not 1)}.

This chapter is organized as follows.  We begin by defining the syntax
and interpreter for the \LangIf{} language
(Section~\ref{sec:lang-if}). We then introduce the idea of type
checking and build a type checker for \LangIf{}
(Section~\ref{sec:type-check-Rif}). To compile \LangIf{} we need to
enlarge the intermediate language \LangCVar{} into \LangCIf{}
(Section~\ref{sec:Cif}) and \LangXInt{} into \LangXIf{}
(Section~\ref{sec:x86-if}). The remaining sections of this chapter
discuss how our compiler passes change to accommodate Booleans and
conditional control flow. There is one new pass, named \code{shrink},
that translates some operators into others, thereby reducing the
number of operators that need to be handled in later passes.  The
largest changes occur in \code{explicate-control}, to translate
\code{if} expressions into control-flow graphs
(Section~\ref{sec:explicate-control-Rif}).  Regarding register
allocation, the liveness analysis now has multiple basic blocks to
process and there is the interesting question of how to handle
conditional jumps.


\section{The \LangIf{} Language}
\label{sec:lang-if}

The concrete syntax of the \LangIf{} language is defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:Rif-concrete-syntax} and the abstract syntax is defined
in Figure~\ref{fig:Rif-syntax}. The \LangIf{} language includes all of
\LangVar{} (shown in gray), the Boolean literals \code{\#t} and
\code{\#f}, and the conditional \code{if} expression. We expand the
operators to include
\begin{enumerate}
\item subtraction on integers,
\item the logical operators \key{and}, \key{or} and \key{not},
\item the \key{eq?} operation for comparing two integers or two Booleans, and
\item the \key{<}, \key{<=}, \key{>}, and \key{>=} operations for
  comparing integers.
\end{enumerate}
We reorganize the abstract syntax for the primitive operations in
Figure~\ref{fig:Rif-syntax}, using only one grammar rule for all of
them. This means that the grammar no longer checks whether the arity
of an operators matches the number of arguments. That responsibility
is moved to the type checker for \LangIf{}, which we introduce in
Section~\ref{sec:type-check-Rif}.

\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rif} defines the interpreter for \LangIf{},
which inherits from the interpreter for \LangVar{}
(Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rvar}). The literals \code{\#t} and \code{\#f}
evaluate to the corresponding Boolean values. The conditional
expression $(\key{if}\, \itm{cnd}\,\itm{thn}\,\itm{els})$ evaluates
\itm{cnd} and then either evaluates \itm{thn} or \itm{els} depending
on whether \itm{cnd} produced \code{\#t} or \code{\#f}. The logical
operations \code{not} and \code{and} behave as you might expect, but
note that the \code{and} operation is short-circuiting. That is, given
the expression $(\key{and}\,e_1\,e_2)$, the expression $e_2$ is not
evaluated if $e_1$ evaluates to \code{\#f}.

With the increase in the number of primitive operations, the
interpreter would become repetitive without some care.  We refactor
the case for \code{Prim}, moving the code that differs with each
operation into the \code{interp-op} method shown in in
Figure~\ref{fig:interp-op-Rif}. We handle the \code{and} operation
separately because of its short-circuiting behavior.

\section{Type Checking \LangIf{} Programs}
\label{sec:type-check-Rif}
\index{subject}{type checking}
\index{subject}{semantic analysis}

It is helpful to think about type checking in two complementary
ways. A type checker predicts the type of value that will be produced
by each expression in the program.  For \LangIf{}, we have just two types,
\key{Integer} and \key{Boolean}. So a type checker should predict that
\begin{lstlisting}
   (+ 10 (- (+ 12 20)))
\end{lstlisting}
produces an \key{Integer} while
\begin{lstlisting}
   (and (not #f) #t)
\end{lstlisting}
produces a \key{Boolean}.

Another way to think about type checking is that it enforces a set of
rules about which operators can be applied to which kinds of
values. For example, our type checker for \LangIf{} signals an error
for the below expression
\begin{lstlisting}
   (not (+ 10 (- (+ 12 20))))
\end{lstlisting}
The subexpression \code{(+ 10 (- (+ 12 20)))} has type \key{Integer}
but the type checker enforces the rule that the argument of \code{not}
must be a \key{Boolean}.

We implement type checking using classes and methods because they
provide the open recursion needed to reuse code as we extend the type
checker in later chapters, analogous to the use of classes and methods
for the interpreters (Section~\ref{sec:extensible-interp}).

We separate the type checker for the \LangVar{} fragment into its own
class, shown in Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rvar}. The type checker for
\LangIf{} is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rif} and it inherits
from the type checker for \LangVar{}. These type checkers are in the
files \code{type-check-Rvar.rkt} and \code{type-check-Rif.rkt} of the
support code.
%
Each type checker is a structurally recursive function over the AST.
Given an input expression \code{e}, the type checker either signals an
error or returns an expression and its type (\key{Integer} or
\key{Boolean}). It returns an expression because there are situations
in which we want to change or update the expression.

Next we discuss the \code{match} cases in \code{type-check-exp} of
Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rvar}.  The type of an integer constant is
\code{Integer}.  To handle variables, the type checker uses the
environment \code{env} to map variables to types. Consider the case
for \key{let}.  We type check the initializing expression to obtain
its type \key{T} and then associate type \code{T} with the variable
\code{x} in the environment used to type check the body of the
\key{let}. Thus, when the type checker encounters a use of variable
\code{x}, it can find its type in the environment.  Regarding
primitive operators, we recursively analyze the arguments and then
invoke \code{type-check-op} to check whether the argument types are
allowed.

Several auxiliary methods are used in the type checker. The method
\code{operator-types} defines a dictionary that maps the operator
names to their parameter and return types. The \code{type-equal?}
method determines whether two types are equal, which for now simply
dispatches to \code{equal?}  (deep equality). The
\code{check-type-equal?} method triggers an error if the two types are
not equal. The \code{type-check-op} method looks up the operator in
the \code{operator-types} dictionary and then checks whether the
argument types are equal to the parameter types.  The result is the
return type of the operator.

Next we discuss the type checker for \LangIf{} in
Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rif}.  The operator \code{eq?} requires the
two arguments to have the same type. The type of a Boolean constant is
\code{Boolean}. The condition of an \code{if} must be of
\code{Boolean} type and the two branches must have the same type.  The
\code{operator-types} function adds dictionary entries for the other
new operators.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Create 10 new test programs in \LangIf{}. Half of the programs should
have a type error. For those programs, create an empty file with the
same base name but with file extension \code{.tyerr}. For example, if
the test \code{cond\_test\_14.rkt} is expected to error, then create
an empty file named \code{cond\_test\_14.tyerr}.  This indicates to
\code{interp-tests} and \code{compiler-tests} that a type error is
expected. The other half of the test programs should not have type
errors.

In the \code{run-tests.rkt} script, change the second argument of
\code{interp-tests} and \code{compiler-tests} to
\code{type-check-Rif}, which causes the type checker to run prior to
the compiler passes. Temporarily change the \code{passes} to an empty
list and run the script, thereby checking that the new test programs
either type check or not as intended.

\section{The \LangCIf{} Intermediate Language}
\label{sec:Cif}

Figure~\ref{fig:c1-syntax} defines the abstract syntax of the
\LangCIf{} intermediate language. (The concrete syntax is in the
Appendix, Figure~\ref{fig:c1-concrete-syntax}.)  Compared to
\LangCVar{}, the \LangCIf{} language adds logical and comparison
operators to the \Exp{} non-terminal and the literals \key{\#t} and
\key{\#f} to the \Arg{} non-terminal.

Regarding control flow, \LangCIf{} adds \key{goto} and \code{if}
statements to the \Tail{} non-terminal. The condition of an \code{if}
statement is a comparison operation and the branches are \code{goto}
statements, making it straightforward to compile \code{if} statements
to x86.

\section{The \LangXIf{} Language}
\label{sec:x86-if}

\index{subject}{x86} To implement the new logical operations, the comparison
operations, and the \key{if} expression, we need to delve further into
the x86 language. Figures~\ref{fig:x86-1-concrete} and \ref{fig:x86-1}
define the concrete and abstract syntax for the \LangXIf{} subset
of x86, which includes instructions for logical operations,
comparisons, and conditional jumps.

One challenge is that x86 does not provide an instruction that
directly implements logical negation (\code{not} in \LangIf{} and
\LangCIf{}).  However, the \code{xorq} instruction can be used to
encode \code{not}.  The \key{xorq} instruction takes two arguments,
performs a pairwise exclusive-or ($\mathrm{XOR}$) operation on each
bit of its arguments, and writes the results into its second argument.
Recall the truth table for exclusive-or:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l|cc}
   & 0 & 1 \\ \hline
0  & 0 & 1 \\
1  & 1 & 0
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
For example, applying $\mathrm{XOR}$ to each bit of the binary numbers
$0011$ and $0101$ yields $0110$. Notice that in the row of the table
for the bit $1$, the result is the opposite of the second bit.  Thus,
the \code{not} operation can be implemented by \code{xorq} with $1$ as
the first argument:
\[
\Var~ \key{=}~ \LP\key{not}~\Arg\RP\key{;}
\qquad\Rightarrow\qquad
\begin{array}{l}
\key{movq}~ \Arg\key{,} \Var\\
\key{xorq}~ \key{\$1,} \Var
\end{array}
\]

\label{fig:x86-1}
\end{figure}

Next we consider the x86 instructions that are relevant for compiling
the comparison operations. The \key{cmpq} instruction compares its two
arguments to determine whether one argument is less than, equal, or
greater than the other argument. The \key{cmpq} instruction is unusual
regarding the order of its arguments and where the result is
placed. The argument order is backwards: if you want to test whether
$x < y$, then write \code{cmpq} $y$\code{,} $x$. The result of
\key{cmpq} is placed in the special EFLAGS register. This register
cannot be accessed directly but it can be queried by a number of
instructions, including the \key{set} instruction. The instruction
$\key{set}cc~d$ puts a \key{1} or \key{0} into the destination $d$
depending on whether the comparison comes out according to the
condition code \itm{cc} (\key{e} for equal, \key{l} for less, \key{le}
for less-or-equal, \key{g} for greater, \key{ge} for
greater-or-equal).  The \key{set} instruction has an annoying quirk in
that its destination argument must be single byte register, such as
\code{al} (L for lower bits) or \code{ah} (H for higher bits), which
are part of the \code{rax} register.  Thankfully, the \key{movzbq}
instruction can be used to move from a single byte register to a
normal 64-bit register.  The abstract syntax for the \code{set}
instruction differs from the concrete syntax in that it separates the
instruction name from the condition code.

The x86 instruction for conditional jump is relevant to the
compilation of \key{if} expressions.  The instruction
$\key{j}\itm{cc}~\itm{label}$ updates the program counter to point to
the instruction after \itm{label} depending on whether the result in
the EFLAGS register matches the condition code \itm{cc}, otherwise the
jump instruction falls through to the next instruction.  Like the
abstract syntax for \code{set}, the abstract syntax for conditional
jump separates the instruction name from the condition code. For
example, \code{(JmpIf le foo)} corresponds to \code{jle foo}.  Because
the conditional jump instruction relies on the EFLAGS register, it is
common for it to be immediately preceded by a \key{cmpq} instruction
to set the EFLAGS register.


\section{Shrink the \LangIf{} Language}
\label{sec:shrink-Rif}

The \LangIf{} language includes several operators that are easily
expressible with other operators. For example, subtraction is
expressible using addition and negation.
\[
 \key{(-}\; e_1 \; e_2\key{)} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \LP\key{+} \; e_1 \; \LP\key{-} \; e_2\RP\RP
\]
Several of the comparison operations are expressible using less-than
and logical negation.
\[
\LP\key{<=}\; e_1 \; e_2\RP \quad \Rightarrow \quad
\LP\key{let}~\LP\LS\key{tmp.1}~e_1\RS\RP~\LP\key{not}\;\LP\key{<}\;e_2\;\key{tmp.1})\RP\RP
\]
The \key{let} is needed in the above translation to ensure that
expression $e_1$ is evaluated before $e_2$.

By performing these translations in the front-end of the compiler, the
later passes of the compiler do not need to deal with these operators,
making the passes shorter.

%% On the other hand, sometimes
%% these translations make it more difficult to generate the most
%% efficient code with respect to the number of instructions. However,
%% these differences typically do not affect the number of accesses to
%% memory, which is the primary factor that determines execution time on
%% modern computer architectures.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Implement the pass \code{shrink} to remove subtraction, \key{and},
\key{or}, \key{<=}, \key{>}, and \key{>=} from the language by
translating them to other constructs in \LangIf{}.
%
Create six test programs that involve these operators.
%
In the \code{run-tests.rkt} script, add the following entry for
\code{shrink} to the list of passes (it should be the only pass at
this point).
\begin{lstlisting}
(list "shrink" shrink interp-Rif type-check-Rif)
\end{lstlisting}
This instructs \code{interp-tests} to run the intepreter
\code{interp-Rif} and the type checker \code{type-check-Rif} on the
output of \code{shrink}.
%
Run the script to test your compiler on all the test programs.

\end{exercise}

\section{Uniquify Variables}
\label{sec:uniquify-Rif}

Add cases to \code{uniquify-exp} to handle Boolean constants and
\code{if} expressions.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont

entry to the list of \code{passes} in the \code{run-tests.rkt} script.
\begin{lstlisting}
(list "uniquify" uniquify interp-Rif type-check-Rif)
\end{lstlisting}
Run the script to test your compiler.
\end{exercise}

\section{Remove Complex Operands}
\label{sec:remove-complex-opera-Rif}

The output language for this pass is \LangIfANF{}
(Figure~\ref{fig:Rif-anf-syntax}), the administrative normal form of
\LangIf{}.  The \code{Bool} form is an atomic expressions but
\code{If} is not.  All three sub-expressions of an \code{If} are
allowed to be complex expressions but the operands of \code{not} and
the comparisons must be atoms.

Add cases for \code{Bool} and \code{If} to the \code{rco-exp} and
\code{rco-atom} functions according to whether the output needs to be
\Exp{} or \Atm{} as specified in the grammar for \LangIfANF{}.
Regarding \code{If}, it is particularly important to \textbf{not}
replace its condition with a temporary variable because that would
interfere with the generation of high-quality output in the
\code{explicate-control} pass.

\begin{lstlisting}

\end{lstlisting}
\end{exercise}


\section{Explicate Control}
\label{sec:explicate-control-Rif}

Recall that the purpose of \code{explicate-control} is to make the
order of evaluation explicit in the syntax of the program.  With the
addition of \key{if} this get more interesting.

As a motivating example, consider the following program that has an
\key{if} expression nested in the predicate of another \key{if}.
% cond_test_41.rkt
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x (read)])
  (let ([y (read)])
    (if (if (< x 1) (eq? x 0)  (eq? x 2))
        (+ y 2)
        (+ y 10))))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
%
The naive way to compile \key{if} and the comparison would be to
handle each of them in isolation, regardless of their context.  Each
comparison would be translated into a \key{cmpq} instruction followed
by a couple instructions to move the result from the EFLAGS register
into a general purpose register or stack location. Each \key{if} would
be translated into a \key{cmpq} instruction followed by a conditional
jump. The generated code for the inner \key{if} in the above example
would be as follows.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
    ...
    cmpq $1, x          ;; (< x 1)
    setl %al
    movzbq %al, tmp
    cmpq $1, tmp        ;; (if ...)
    je then_branch_1
    jmp else_branch_1
    ...
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
However, if we take context into account we can do better and reduce
the use of \key{cmpq} instructions for accessing the EFLAG register.

Our goal will be compile \key{if} expressions so that the relevant
comparison instruction appears directly before the conditional jump.
For example, we want to generate the following code for the inner
\code{if}.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
    ...
    cmpq $1, x
    je then_branch_1
    jmp else_branch_1
    ...
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
One way to achieve this is to reorganize the code at the level of
\LangIf{}, pushing the outer \key{if} inside the inner one, yielding
the following code.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x (read)])
  (let ([y (read)])
    (if (< x 1) 
      (if (eq? x 0)
        (+ y 2)
        (+ y 10))
      (if (eq? x 2)
        (+ y 2)
        (+ y 10)))))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
Unfortunately, this approach duplicates the two branches from the
outer \code{if} and a compiler must never duplicate code!

We need a way to perform the above transformation but without
duplicating code. That is, we need a way for different parts of a
program to refer to the same piece of code. At the level of x86
assembly this is straightforward because we can label the code for
each branch and insert jumps in all the places that need to execute
the branch. In our intermediate language, we need to move away from
abstract syntax \emph{trees} and instead use \emph{graphs}. In
particular, we use a standard program representation called a
\emph{control flow graph} (CFG), due to Frances Elizabeth
\citet{Allen:1970uq}.  \index{subject}{control-flow graph} Each vertex is a
labeled sequence of code, called a \emph{basic block}, and each edge
represents a jump to another block. The \key{CProgram} construct of
\LangCVar{} and \LangCIf{} contains a control flow graph represented
as an alist mapping labels to basic blocks. Each basic block is
represented by the $\Tail$ non-terminal.

Figure~\ref{fig:explicate-control-s1-38} shows the output of the
\code{remove-complex-opera*} pass and then the
\code{explicate-control} pass on the example program. We walk through
the output program and then discuss the algorithm.
%
Following the order of evaluation in the output of
\code{remove-complex-opera*}, we first have two calls to \code{(read)}
and then the comparison \lstinline{(< x 1)} in the predicate of the
inner \key{if}.  In the output of \code{explicate-control}, in the
block labeled \code{start}, is two assignment statements followed by a
\code{if} statement that branches to \code{block40} or
\code{block41}. The blocks associated with those labels contain the
translations of the code \lstinline{(eq? x 0)} and \lstinline{(eq? x 2)},
respectively.  In particular, we start \code{block40} with the
comparison \lstinline{(eq? x 0)} and then branch to \code{block38} or
\code{block39}, the two branches of the outer \key{if}, i.e.,
\lstinline{(+ y 2)} and \lstinline{(+ y 10)}. The story for
\code{block41} is similar.

\caption{Translation from \LangIf{} to \LangCIf{}
  via the \code{explicate-control}.}
\label{fig:explicate-control-s1-38}
\end{figure}

%% The nice thing about the output of \code{explicate-control} is that
%% there are no unnecessary comparisons and every comparison is part of a
%% conditional jump.

%% The down-side of this output is that it includes
%% trivial blocks, such as the blocks labeled \code{block92} through
%% \code{block95}, that only jump to another block. We discuss a solution
%% to this problem in Section~\ref{sec:opt-jumps}.

Recall that in Section~\ref{sec:explicate-control-Rvar} we implement
\code{explicate-control} for \LangVar{} using two mutually recursive
functions, \code{explicate-tail} and \code{explicate-assign}.  The
former function translates expressions in tail position whereas the
later function translates expressions on the right-hand-side of a
\key{let}. With the addition of \key{if} expression in \LangIf{} we
have a new kind of position to deal with: the predicate position of
the \key{if}. We need another function, \code{explicate-pred}, that
takes an \LangIf{} expression and two blocks for the then-branch and
else-branch. The output of \code{explicate-pred} is a block.
%
In the following paragraphs we discuss specific cases in the
\code{explicate-pred} function as well as additions to the
\code{explicate-tail} and \code{explicate-assign} functions.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (explicate-pred cnd thn els)
  (match cnd
    [(Var x) ___]
    [(Let x rhs body) ___]

     (IfStmt (Prim op arg*) (force (block->goto thn))
              (force (block->goto els)))]
    [(Bool b) (if b thn els)]
    [(If cnd^ thn^ els^) ___]
    [else (error "explicate-pred unhandled case" cnd)]))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{Skeleton for the \key{explicate-pred} auxiliary function.}
\label{fig:explicate-pred}
\end{figure}

The skeleton for the \code{explicate-pred} function is given in
Figure~\ref{fig:explicate-pred}. It has a case for every expression
that can have type \code{Boolean}.  We detail a few cases here and
leave the rest for the reader. The input to this function is an
expression and two blocks, \code{thn} and \code{els}, for the two
branches of the enclosing \key{if}.
%
Consider the case for Boolean constants in
Figure~\ref{fig:explicate-pred}.  We perform a kind of partial
evaluation\index{subject}{partial evaluation} and output either the \code{thn}
or \code{els} branch depending on whether the constant is true or
false. This case demonstrates that we sometimes discard the \code{thn}
or \code{els} blocks that are input to \code{explicate-pred}.

The case for \key{if} in \code{explicate-pred} is particularly
illuminating because it deals with the challenges we discussed above
regarding nested \key{if} expressions
(Figure~\ref{fig:explicate-control-s1-38}).  The \lstinline{thn^} and
\lstinline{els^} branches of the \key{if} inherit their context from
the current one, that is, predicate context. So you should recursively
apply \code{explicate-pred} to the \lstinline{thn^} and
\lstinline{els^} branches. For both of those recursive calls, pass
\code{thn} and \code{els} as the extra parameters. Thus, \code{thn}
and \code{els} may get used twice, once inside each recursive call. As
discussed above, to avoid duplicating code, we need to add them to the
control-flow graph so that we can instead refer to them by name and
execute them with a \key{goto}. However, as we saw in the cases above
for Boolean constants, the blocks \code{thn} and \code{els} may not
get used at all and we don't want to prematurely add them to the
control-flow graph if they end up being discarded.

The solution to this conundrum is to use \emph{lazy
  evaluation}\index{subject}{lazy evaluation}\citep{Friedman:1976aa} to delay
adding the blocks to the control-flow graph until the points where we
know they will be used. Racket provides support for lazy evaluation
with the
\href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Delayed_Evaluation.html}{\code{racket/promise}}
package. The expression \key{(delay} $e_1 \ldots e_n$\key{)}
\index{subject}{delay} creates a \emph{promise}\index{subject}{promise} in which the
evaluation of the expressions is postponed. When \key{(force}
$p$\key{)}\index{subject}{force} is applied to a promise $p$ for the first
time, the expressions $e_1 \ldots e_n$ are evaluated and the result of
$e_n$ is cached in the promise and returned. If \code{force} is
applied again to the same promise, then the cached result is returned.
If \code{force} is applied to an argument that is not a promise,
\code{force} simply returns the argument.

We use lazy evaluation for the input and output blocks of the
functions \code{explicate-pred} and \code{explicate-assign} and for
the output block of \code{explicate-tail}. So instead of taking and
returning blocks, they take and return promises. Furthermore, when we
come to a situation in which we a block might be used more than once,
as in the case for \code{if} in \code{explicate-pred}, we transform
the promise into a new promise that will add the block to the
control-flow graph and return a \code{goto}.  The following auxiliary
function named \code{block->goto} accomplishes this task. It begins
with \code{delay} to create a promise. When forced, this promise will
force the original promise. If that returns a \code{goto} (because the
block was already added to the control-flow graph), then we return the
\code{goto}. Otherwise we add the block to the control-flow graph with
another auxiliary function named \code{add-node}. That function
returns the label for the new block, which we use to create a
\code{goto}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (block->goto block)
  (delay
    (define b (force block))
    (match b
      [(Goto label) (Goto label)]
      [else (Goto (add-node b))])))
\end{lstlisting}

Returning to the discussion of \code{explicate-pred}
(Figure~\ref{fig:explicate-pred}), consider the case for comparison
operators. This is one of the base cases of the recursive function so
we translate the comparison to an \code{if} statement. We apply
\code{block->goto} to \code{thn} and \code{els} to obtain two promises
that will add then to the control-flow graph, which we can immediately
\code{force} to obtain the two goto's that form the branches of the
\code{if} statement.

%% Getting back to the case for \code{if} in \code{explicate-pred}, we
%% make the recursive calls to \code{explicate-pred} on the ``then'' and
%% ``else'' branches with the arguments \code{(block->goto} $B_1$\code{)}
%% and \code{(block->goto} $B_2$\code{)}. Let $B_3$ and $B_4$ be the
%% results from the two recursive calls.  We complete the case for
%% \code{if} by recursively apply \code{explicate-pred} to the condition
%% of the \code{if} with the promised blocks $B_3$ and $B_4$ to obtain
%% the result $B_5$.
%% \[
%% (\key{if}\; \itm{cnd}\; \itm{thn}\; \itm{els})
%% \quad\Rightarrow\quad
%% B_5
%% \]

The \code{explicate-tail} and \code{explicate-assign} functions need
additional cases for Boolean constants and \key{if}.
%
In the cases for \code{if}, the two branches inherit the current
context, so in \code{explicate-tail} they are in tail position and in
\code{explicate-assign} they are in assignment position. The
\code{cont} parameter of \code{explicate-assign} is used in both
recursive calls, so make sure to use \code{block->goto} on it.

%% In the case for \code{if} in \code{explicate-tail}, the two branches
%% inherit the current context, so they are in tail position. Thus, the
%% recursive calls on the ``then'' and ``else'' branch should be calls to
%% \code{explicate-tail}.
%% %
%% We need to pass $B_0$ as the accumulator argument for both of these
%% recursive calls, but we need to be careful not to duplicate $B_0$.
%% Thus, we first apply \code{block->goto} to $B_0$ so that it gets added
%% to the control-flow graph and obtain a promised goto $G_0$.
%% %
%% Let $B_1$ be the result of \code{explicate-tail} on the ``then''
%% branch and $G_0$ and let $B_2$ be the result of \code{explicate-tail}
%% on the ``else'' branch and $G_0$.  Let $B_3$ be the result of applying
%% \code{explicate-pred} to the condition of the \key{if}, $B_1$, and
%% $B_2$.  Then the \key{if} as a whole translates to promise $B_3$.
%% \[
%%     (\key{if}\; \itm{cnd}\; \itm{thn}\; \itm{els}) \quad\Rightarrow\quad B_3
%% \]

%% In the above discussion, we use the metavariables $B_1$, $B_2$, and
%% $B_3$ to refer to blocks for the purposes of our discussion, but they
%% should not be confused with the labels for the blocks that appear in
%% the generated code. We initially construct unlabeled blocks; we only
%% attach labels to blocks when we add them to the control-flow graph, as
%% we see in the next case.

%% Next consider the case for \key{if} in the \code{explicate-assign}
%% function. The context of the \key{if} is an assignment to some
%% variable $x$ and then the control continues to some promised block
%% $B_1$.  The code that we generate for both the ``then'' and ``else''
%% branches needs to continue to $B_1$, so to avoid duplicating $B_1$ we
%% apply \code{block->goto} to it and obtain a promised goto $G_1$.  The
%% branches of the \key{if} inherit the current context, so they are in
%% assignment positions.  Let $B_2$ be the result of applying
%% \code{explicate-assign} to the ``then'' branch, variable $x$, and
%% $G_1$.  Let $B_3$ be the result of applying \code{explicate-assign} to
%% the ``else'' branch, variable $x$, and $G_1$. Finally, let $B_4$ be
%% the result of applying \code{explicate-pred} to the predicate
%% $\itm{cnd}$ and the promises $B_2$ and $B_3$. The \key{if} as a whole
%% translates to the promise $B_4$.
%% \[
%% (\key{if}\; \itm{cnd}\; \itm{thn}\; \itm{els}) \quad\Rightarrow\quad B_4
%% \]
%% This completes the description of \code{explicate-control} for \LangIf{}.


The way in which the \code{shrink} pass transforms logical operations
such as \code{and} and \code{or} can impact the quality of code
generated by \code{explicate-control}. For example, consider the
following program.
% cond_test_21.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(if (and (eq? (read) 0) (eq? (read) 1))
    0
    42)  
\end{lstlisting}
The \code{and} operation should transform into something that the
\code{explicate-pred} function can still analyze and descend through to
reach the underlying \code{eq?} conditions. Ideally, your
\code{explicate-control} pass should generate code similar to the
following for the above program.
\begin{center}
\begin{lstlisting}
start:
    tmp1 = (read);
    if (eq? tmp1 0) goto block40;
    else goto block39;
block40:
    tmp2 = (read);
    if (eq? tmp2 1) goto block38;
    else goto block39;
block38:
    return 0;
block39:
    return 42;
\end{lstlisting}
\end{center}

\section{Select Instructions}
\label{sec:select-Rif}
\index{subject}{instruction selection}

The \code{select-instructions} pass translate \LangCIf{} to
\LangXIfVar{}. Recall that we implement this pass using three
auxiliary functions, one for each of the non-terminals $\Atm$,
$\Stmt$, and $\Tail$.

For $\Atm$, we have new cases for the Booleans.  We take the usual
approach of encoding them as integers, with true as 1 and false as 0.
\[
\key{\#t} \Rightarrow \key{1}
\qquad
\key{\#f} \Rightarrow \key{0}
\]

For $\Stmt$, we discuss a couple cases.  The \code{not} operation can
be implemented in terms of \code{xorq} as we discussed at the
beginning of this section. Given an assignment
$\itm{var}$ \key{=} \key{(not} $\Atm$\key{);},
if the left-hand side $\itm{var}$ is
the same as $\Atm$, then just the \code{xorq} suffices.
\[
\Var~\key{=}~ \key{(not}\; \Var\key{);}
\quad\Rightarrow\quad
\key{xorq}~\key{\$}1\key{,}~\Var
\]
Otherwise, a \key{movq} is needed to adapt to the update-in-place
semantics of x86. Let $\Arg$ be the result of translating $\Atm$ to
x86. Then we have
\[
\Var~\key{=}~ \key{(not}\; \Atm\key{);}
\quad\Rightarrow\quad
\begin{array}{l}
\key{movq}~\Arg\key{,}~\Var\\
\key{xorq}~\key{\$}1\key{,}~\Var
\end{array}
\]

Next consider the cases for \code{eq?} and less-than comparison.
Translating these operations to x86 is slightly involved due to the
unusual nature of the \key{cmpq} instruction discussed above.  We
recommend translating an assignment from \code{eq?} into the following
sequence of three instructions. \\
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
|$\Var$| = (eq? |$\Atm_1$| |$\Atm_2$|);
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
&
$\Rightarrow$
&
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
cmpq |$\Arg_2$|, |$\Arg_1$|
sete %al
movzbq %al, |$\Var$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{tabular}  \\

Regarding the $\Tail$ non-terminal, we have two new cases: \key{goto}
and \key{if} statements. Both are straightforward to translate to
x86. A \key{goto} becomes a jump instruction.
\[
\key{goto}\; \ell\key{;} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \key{jmp}\;\ell
\]
An \key{if} statement becomes a compare instruction followed by a
conditional jump (for the ``then'' branch) and the fall-through is to
a regular jump (for the ``else'' branch).\\
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
if (eq? |$\Atm_1$| |$\Atm_2$|) goto |$\ell_1$|;
else goto |$\ell_2$|;
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
&
$\Rightarrow$
&
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
cmpq |$\Arg_2$|, |$\Arg_1$|
je |$\ell_1$|
jmp |$\ell_2$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{tabular}  \\

\section{Register Allocation}
\label{sec:register-allocation-Rif}

\index{subject}{register allocation}
The changes required for \LangIf{} affect liveness analysis, building the
interference graph, and assigning homes, but the graph coloring
algorithm itself does not change.

\subsection{Liveness Analysis}
\label{sec:liveness-analysis-Rif}
\index{subject}{liveness analysis}

Recall that for \LangVar{} we implemented liveness analysis for a single
basic block (Section~\ref{sec:liveness-analysis-Rvar}). With the
addition of \key{if} expressions to \LangIf{}, \code{explicate-control}
produces many basic blocks arranged in a control-flow graph.  We
recommend that you create a new auxiliary function named
\code{uncover-live-CFG} that applies liveness analysis to a
control-flow graph.

The first question we is: what order should we process the basic
blocks in the control-flow graph? Recall that to perform liveness
analysis on a basic block we need to know its live-after set. If a
basic block has no successors (i.e. no out-edges in the control flow
graph), then it has an empty live-after set and we can immediately
apply liveness analysis to it. If a basic block has some successors,
then we need to complete liveness analysis on those blocks first. In
graph theory, a sequence of nodes is in \emph{topological
  order}\index{subject}{topological order} if each vertex comes before its
successors. We need the opposite, so we can transpose the graph
before computing a topological order.
%
Use the \code{tsort} and \code{transpose} functions of the Racket
\code{graph} package to accomplish this.
%
As an aside, a topological ordering is only guaranteed to exist if the
graph does not contain any cycles. That is indeed the case for the
control-flow graphs that we generate from \LangIf{} programs.
However, in Chapter~\ref{ch:Rwhile} we add loops to \LangLoop{} and
learn how to handle cycles in the control-flow graph.

You'll need to construct a directed graph to represent the
control-flow graph. Do not use the \code{directed-graph} of the
\code{graph} package because that only allows at most one edge between
each pair of vertices, but a control-flow graph may have multiple
edges between a pair of vertices. The \code{multigraph.rkt} file in
the support code implements a graph representation that allows
multiple edges between a pair of vertices.

The next question is how to analyze jump instructions.  Recall that in
Section~\ref{sec:liveness-analysis-Rvar} we maintain an alist named
\code{label->live} that maps each label to the set of live locations
at the beginning of its block. We use \code{label->live} to determine
the live-before set for each $\JMP{\itm{label}}$ instruction.  Now
that we have many basic blocks, \code{label->live} needs to be updated
as we process the blocks. In particular, after performing liveness
analysis on a block, we take the live-before set of its first
instruction and associate that with the block's label in the
\code{label->live}.

In \LangXIfVar{} we also have the conditional jump
$\JMPIF{\itm{cc}}{\itm{label}}$ to deal with.  Liveness analysis for
this instruction is particularly interesting because during
compilation we do not know which way a conditional jump will go.  So
we do not know whether to use the live-before set for the following
instruction or the live-before set for the $\itm{label}$.  However,
there is no harm to the correctness of the compiler if we classify
more locations as live than the ones that are truly live during a
particular execution of the instruction. Thus, we can take the union
of the live-before sets from the following instruction and from the
mapping for $\itm{label}$ in \code{label->live}.

The auxiliary functions for computing the variables in an
instruction's argument and for computing the variables read-from ($R$)
or written-to ($W$) by an instruction need to be updated to handle the
new kinds of arguments and instructions in \LangXIfVar{}.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Update the \code{uncover-live} pass and implement the
\code{uncover-live-CFG} auxiliary function to apply liveness analysis
to the control-flow graph.  Add the following entry to the list of
\code{passes} in the \code{run-tests.rkt} script.
\begin{lstlisting}
(list "uncover-live" uncover-live interp-pseudo-x86-1)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{exercise}

\subsection{Build the Interference Graph}
\label{sec:build-interference-Rif}

Many of the new instructions in \LangXIfVar{} can be handled in the
same way as the instructions in \LangXVar{}. Thus, if your code was
already quite general, it will not need to be changed to handle the
new instructions. If you code is not general enough, we recommend that
you change your code to be more general. For example, you can factor
out the computing of the the read and write sets for each kind of
instruction into two auxiliary functions.

Note that the \key{movzbq} instruction requires some special care,
similar to the \key{movq} instruction. See rule number 1 in
Section~\ref{sec:build-interference}.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Update the \code{build-interference} pass for \LangXIfVar{} and add the
following entries to the list of \code{passes} in the
\code{run-tests.rkt} script.
\begin{lstlisting}
(list "build-interference" build-interference interp-pseudo-x86-1)
(list "allocate-registers" allocate-registers interp-x86-1)
\end{lstlisting}
Run the script to test your compiler on all the \LangIf{} test
programs.
\end{exercise}


\section{Patch Instructions}

The second argument of the \key{cmpq} instruction must not be an
immediate value (such as an integer). So if you are comparing two
immediates, we recommend inserting a \key{movq} instruction to put the
second argument in \key{rax}. Also, recall that instructions may have
at most one memory reference.
%
The second argument of the \key{movzbq} must be a register.
%
There are no special restrictions on the jump instructions.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont

\section{Challenge: Remove Jumps}
\label{sec:opt-jumps}

%% Recall that in the example output of \code{explicate-control} in
%% Figure~\ref{fig:explicate-control-s1-38}, \code{block57} through
%% \code{block60} are trivial blocks, they do nothing but jump to another
%% block. The first goal of this challenge assignment is to remove those
%% blocks. Figure~\ref{fig:optimize-jumps} repeats the result of
%% \code{explicate-control} on the left and shows the result of bypassing
%% the trivial blocks on the right. Let us focus on \code{block61}.  The
%% \code{then} branch jumps to \code{block57}, which in turn jumps to
%% \code{block55}. The optimized code on the right of
%% Figure~\ref{fig:optimize-jumps} bypasses \code{block57}, with the
%% \code{then} branch jumping directly to \code{block55}. The story is
%% similar for the \code{else} branch, as well as for the two branches in
%% \code{block62}. After the jumps in \code{block61} and \code{block62}
%% have been optimized in this way, there are no longer any jumps to
%% blocks \code{block57} through \code{block60}, so they can be removed.

There is an opportunity for optimizing jumps that is apparent in the
example of Figure~\ref{fig:if-example-x86}. The \code{start} block
ends with a jump to \code{block7953} and there are no other jumps to
\code{block7953} in the rest of the program. In this situation we can
avoid the runtime overhead of this jump by merging \code{block7953}
into the preceding block, in this case the \code{start} block.
Figure~\ref{fig:remove-jumps} shows the output of
\code{select-instructions} on the left and the result of this
optimization on the right.

In this chapter we study the implementation of mutable tuples, called
vectors in Racket. This language feature is the first to use the
computer's \emph{heap}\index{subject}{heap} because the lifetime of a Racket
tuple is indefinite, that is, a tuple lives forever from the
programmer's viewpoint. Of course, from an implementer's viewpoint, it
is important to reclaim the space associated with a tuple when it is
no longer needed, which is why we also study \emph{garbage collection}
\emph{garbage collection} techniques in this chapter.

Section~\ref{sec:r3} introduces the \LangVec{} language including its
interpreter and type checker. The \LangVec{} language extends the \LangIf{}
language of Chapter~\ref{ch:Rif} with vectors and Racket's
\code{void} value. The reason for including the later is that the
\code{vector-set!} operation returns a value of type
\code{Void}\footnote{Racket's \code{Void} type corresponds to what is
  called the \code{Unit} type in the programming languages
  literature. Racket's \code{Void} type is inhabited by a single value
  \code{void} which corresponds to \code{unit} or \code{()} in the
  literature~\citep{Pierce:2002hj}.}.

Section~\ref{sec:GC} describes a garbage collection algorithm based on
copying live objects back and forth between two halves of the
heap. The garbage collector requires coordination with the compiler so
that it can see all of the \emph{root} pointers, that is, pointers in
registers or on the procedure call stack.

Sections~\ref{sec:expose-allocation} through \ref{sec:print-x86-gc}
discuss all the necessary changes and additions to the compiler
passes, including a new compiler pass named \code{expose-allocation}.

\section{The \LangVec{} Language}
\label{sec:r3}

Figure~\ref{fig:Rvec-concrete-syntax} defines the concrete syntax for
\LangVec{} and Figure~\ref{fig:Rvec-syntax} defines the abstract syntax.  The
\LangVec{} language includes three new forms: \code{vector} for creating a
tuple, \code{vector-ref} for reading an element of a tuple, and
\code{vector-set!} for writing to an element of a tuple. The program
in Figure~\ref{fig:vector-eg} shows the usage of tuples in Racket. We
create a 3-tuple \code{t} and a 1-tuple that is stored at index $2$ of
the 3-tuple, demonstrating that tuples are first-class values.  The
element at index $1$ of \code{t} is \code{\#t}, so the ``then'' branch
of the \key{if} is taken.  The element at index $0$ of \code{t} is
\code{40}, to which we add \code{2}, the element at index $0$ of the
1-tuple. So the result of the program is \code{42}.

\index{subject}{heap allocate}
Tuples are our first encounter with heap-allocated data, which raises
several interesting issues. First, variable binding performs a
shallow-copy when dealing with tuples, which means that different
variables can refer to the same tuple, that is, different variables
can be \emph{aliases} for the same entity. Consider the following
example in which both \code{t1} and \code{t2} refer to the same tuple.
Thus, the mutation through \code{t2} is visible when referencing the
tuple from \code{t1}, so the result of this program is \code{42}.
\index{subject}{alias}\index{subject}{mutation}
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([t1 (vector 3 7)])
  (let ([t2 t1])
    (let ([_ (vector-set! t2 0 42)])
      (vector-ref t1 0))))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

The next issue concerns the lifetime of tuples. Of course, they are
created by the \code{vector} form, but when does their lifetime end?
Notice that \LangVec{} does not include an operation for deleting
tuples. Furthermore, the lifetime of a tuple is not tied to any notion
of static scoping. For example, the following program returns
\code{42} even though the variable \code{w} goes out of scope prior to
the \code{vector-ref} that reads from the vector it was bound to.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([v (vector (vector 44))])
  (let ([x (let ([w (vector 42)])
             (let ([_ (vector-set! v 0 w)])
               0))])
    (+ x (vector-ref (vector-ref v 0) 0))))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

From the perspective of programmer-observable behavior, tuples live
forever. Of course, if they really lived forever, then many programs
would run out of memory.\footnote{The \LangVec{} language does not have
  looping or recursive functions, so it is nigh impossible to write a
  program in \LangVec{} that will run out of memory. However, we add
  recursive functions in the next Chapter!} A Racket implementation
must therefore perform automatic garbage collection.

Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rvec} shows the definitional interpreter for the
\LangVec{} language. We define the \code{vector}, \code{vector-length},
\code{vector-ref}, and \code{vector-set!} operations for \LangVec{} in
terms of the corresponding operations in Racket. One subtle point is
that the \code{vector-set!}  operation returns the \code{\#<void>}
value. The \code{\#<void>} value can be passed around just like other
values inside an \LangVec{} program and a \code{\#<void>} value can be
compared for equality with another \code{\#<void>} value. However,
there are no other operations specific to the the \code{\#<void>}
value in \LangVec{}. In contrast, Racket defines the \code{void?} predicate
that returns \code{\#t} when applied to \code{\#<void>} and \code{\#f}
otherwise.

Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rvec} shows the type checker for \LangVec{}, which
deserves some explanation. When allocating a vector, we need to know
which elements of the vector are pointers (i.e. are also vectors). We
can obtain this information during type checking. The type checker in
Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rvec} not only computes the type of an
expression, it also wraps every \key{vector} creation with the form
$(\key{HasType}~e~T)$, where $T$ is the vector's type.

To create the s-expression for the \code{Vector} type in
Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rvec}, we use the
\href{https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/quasiquote.html}{unquote-splicing

\section{Garbage Collection}
\label{sec:GC}

Here we study a relatively simple algorithm for garbage collection
that is the basis of state-of-the-art garbage
collectors~\citep{Lieberman:1983aa,Ungar:1984aa,Jones:1996aa,Detlefs:2004aa,Dybvig:2006aa,Tene:2011kx}. In
particular, we describe a two-space copying
collector~\citep{Wilson:1992fk} that uses Cheney's algorithm to
perform the
copy~\citep{Cheney:1970aa}.
\index{subject}{copying collector}
\index{subject}{two-space copying collector}
Figure~\ref{fig:copying-collector} gives a
coarse-grained depiction of what happens in a two-space collector,
showing two time steps, prior to garbage collection (on the top) and
after garbage collection (on the bottom). In a two-space collector,
the heap is divided into two parts named the FromSpace and the
ToSpace. Initially, all allocations go to the FromSpace until there is
not enough room for the next allocation request. At that point, the
garbage collector goes to work to make more room.
\index{subject}{ToSpace}
\index{subject}{FromSpace}

The garbage collector must be careful not to reclaim tuples that will
be used by the program in the future. Of course, it is impossible in
general to predict what a program will do, but we can over approximate
the will-be-used tuples by preserving all tuples that could be
accessed by \emph{any} program given the current computer state.  A
program could access any tuple whose address is in a register or on
the procedure call stack. These addresses are called the \emph{root
  set}\index{subject}{root set}. In addition, a program could access any tuple that is
transitively reachable from the root set. Thus, it is safe for the
garbage collector to reclaim the tuples that are not reachable in this
way.

So the goal of the garbage collector is twofold:
\begin{enumerate}
\item preserve all tuple that are reachable from the root set via a
  path of pointers, that is, the \emph{live} tuples, and
\item reclaim the memory of everything else, that is, the
  \emph{garbage}.
\end{enumerate}
A copying collector accomplishes this by copying all of the live
objects from the FromSpace into the ToSpace and then performs a sleight
of hand, treating the ToSpace as the new FromSpace and the old
FromSpace as the new ToSpace.  In the example of
Figure~\ref{fig:copying-collector}, there are three pointers in the
root set, one in a register and two on the stack.  All of the live
objects have been copied to the ToSpace (the right-hand side of
Figure~\ref{fig:copying-collector}) in a way that preserves the
pointer relationships. For example, the pointer in the register still
points to a 2-tuple whose first element is a 3-tuple and whose second
element is a 2-tuple.  There are four tuples that are not reachable
from the root set and therefore do not get copied into the ToSpace.

The exact situation in Figure~\ref{fig:copying-collector} cannot be
created by a well-typed program in \LangVec{} because it contains a
cycle. However, creating cycles will be possible once we get to \LangAny{}.
We design the garbage collector to deal with cycles to begin with so
we will not need to revisit this issue.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figs/copy-collect-1} \\[5ex]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figs/copy-collect-2}
\caption{A copying collector in action.}
\label{fig:copying-collector}
\end{figure}

There are many alternatives to copying collectors (and their bigger
siblings, the generational collectors) when its comes to garbage
collection, such as mark-and-sweep~\citep{McCarthy:1960dz} and
reference counting~\citep{Collins:1960aa}.  The strengths of copying
collectors are that allocation is fast (just a comparison and pointer
increment), there is no fragmentation, cyclic garbage is collected,
and the time complexity of collection only depends on the amount of
live data, and not on the amount of garbage~\citep{Wilson:1992fk}. The
main disadvantages of a two-space copying collector is that it uses a
lot of space and takes a long time to perform the copy, though these
problems are ameliorated in generational collectors.  Racket and
Scheme programs tend to allocate many small objects and generate a lot
of garbage, so copying and generational collectors are a good fit.
Garbage collection is an active research topic, especially concurrent
garbage collection~\citep{Tene:2011kx}. Researchers are continuously
developing new techniques and revisiting old
trade-offs~\citep{Blackburn:2004aa,Jones:2011aa,Shahriyar:2013aa,Cutler:2015aa,Shidal:2015aa,Osterlund:2016aa,Jacek:2019aa,Gamari:2020aa}. Researchers
meet every year at the International Symposium on Memory Management to
present these findings.


\subsection{Graph Copying via Cheney's Algorithm}
\label{sec:cheney}
\index{subject}{Cheney's algorithm}
Let us take a closer look at the copying of the live objects. The
allocated objects and pointers can be viewed as a graph and we need to
copy the part of the graph that is reachable from the root set. To
make sure we copy all of the reachable vertices in the graph, we need
an exhaustive graph traversal algorithm, such as depth-first search or
breadth-first search~\citep{Moore:1959aa,Cormen:2001uq}. Recall that
such algorithms take into account the possibility of cycles by marking
which vertices have already been visited, so as to ensure termination
of the algorithm. These search algorithms also use a data structure
such as a stack or queue as a to-do list to keep track of the vertices
that need to be visited. We use breadth-first search and a trick
due to \citet{Cheney:1970aa} for simultaneously representing the queue
and copying tuples into the ToSpace.

Figure~\ref{fig:cheney} shows several snapshots of the ToSpace as the
copy progresses. The queue is represented by a chunk of contiguous
memory at the beginning of the ToSpace, using two pointers to track
the front and the back of the queue. The algorithm starts by copying
all tuples that are immediately reachable from the root set into the
ToSpace to form the initial queue.  When we copy a tuple, we mark the
old tuple to indicate that it has been visited. We discuss how this
marking is accomplish in Section~\ref{sec:data-rep-gc}. Note that any
pointers inside the copied tuples in the queue still point back to the
FromSpace. Once the initial queue has been created, the algorithm
enters a loop in which it repeatedly processes the tuple at the front
of the queue and pops it off the queue.  To process a tuple, the
algorithm copies all the tuple that are directly reachable from it to
the ToSpace, placing them at the back of the queue. The algorithm then
updates the pointers in the popped tuple so they point to the newly
copied tuples.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\centering \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{figs/cheney}
\caption{Depiction of the Cheney algorithm copying the live tuples.}
\label{fig:cheney}
\end{figure}

Getting back to Figure~\ref{fig:cheney}, in the first step we copy the
tuple whose second element is $42$ to the back of the queue. The other
pointer goes to a tuple that has already been copied, so we do not
need to copy it again, but we do need to update the pointer to the new
location. This can be accomplished by storing a \emph{forwarding
pointer} to the new location in the old tuple, back when we initially
copied the tuple into the ToSpace. This completes one step of the
algorithm. The algorithm continues in this way until the front of the
queue is empty, that is, until the front catches up with the back.


\subsection{Data Representation}
\label{sec:data-rep-gc}

The garbage collector places some requirements on the data
representations used by our compiler. First, the garbage collector
needs to distinguish between pointers and other kinds of data. There
are several ways to accomplish this.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Attached a tag to each object that identifies what type of
  object it is~\citep{McCarthy:1960dz}.
\item Store different types of objects in different
  regions~\citep{Steele:1977ab}.
\item Use type information from the program to either generate
  type-specific code for collecting or to generate tables that can
  guide the
  collector~\citep{Appel:1989aa,Goldberg:1991aa,Diwan:1992aa}.
\end{enumerate}
Dynamically typed languages, such as Lisp, need to tag objects
anyways, so option 1 is a natural choice for those languages.
However, \LangVec{} is a statically typed language, so it would be
unfortunate to require tags on every object, especially small and
pervasive objects like integers and Booleans.  Option 3 is the
best-performing choice for statically typed languages, but comes with
a relatively high implementation complexity. To keep this chapter
within a 2-week time budget, we recommend a combination of options 1
and 2, using separate strategies for the stack and the heap.

Regarding the stack, we recommend using a separate stack for pointers,
which we call a \emph{root stack}\index{subject}{root stack} (a.k.a. ``shadow
stack'')~\citep{Siebert:2001aa,Henderson:2002aa,Baker:2009aa}. That
is, when a local variable needs to be spilled and is of type
\code{(Vector $\Type_1 \ldots \Type_n$)}, then we put it on the root
stack instead of the normal procedure call stack. Furthermore, we
always spill vector-typed variables if they are live during a call to
the collector, thereby ensuring that no pointers are in registers
during a collection. Figure~\ref{fig:shadow-stack} reproduces the
example from Figure~\ref{fig:copying-collector} and contrasts it with
the data layout using a root stack. The root stack contains the two
pointers from the regular stack and also the pointer in the second
register.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\centering \includegraphics[width=0.60\textwidth]{figs/root-stack}
\caption{Maintaining a root stack to facilitate garbage collection.}
\label{fig:shadow-stack}
\end{figure}

The problem of distinguishing between pointers and other kinds of data
also arises inside of each tuple on the heap. We solve this problem by
attaching a tag, an extra 64-bits, to each
tuple. Figure~\ref{fig:tuple-rep} zooms in on the tags for two of the
tuples in the example from Figure~\ref{fig:copying-collector}. Note
that we have drawn the bits in a big-endian way, from right-to-left,
with bit location 0 (the least significant bit) on the far right,
which corresponds to the direction of the x86 shifting instructions
\key{salq} (shift left) and \key{sarq} (shift right). Part of each tag
is dedicated to specifying which elements of the tuple are pointers,
the part labeled ``pointer mask''. Within the pointer mask, a 1 bit
indicates there is a pointer and a 0 bit indicates some other kind of
data. The pointer mask starts at bit location 7. We have limited
tuples to a maximum size of 50 elements, so we just need 50 bits for
the pointer mask. The tag also contains two other pieces of
information. The length of the tuple (number of elements) is stored in
bits location 1 through 6. Finally, the bit at location 0 indicates
whether the tuple has yet to be copied to the ToSpace.  If the bit has
value 1, then this tuple has not yet been copied.  If the bit has
value 0 then the entire tag is a forwarding pointer. (The lower 3 bits
of a pointer are always zero anyways because our tuples are 8-byte
aligned.)

\subsection{Implementation of the Garbage Collector}
\label{sec:organize-gz}
\index{subject}{prelude}

An implementation of the copying collector is provided in the
\code{runtime.c} file. Figure~\ref{fig:gc-header} defines the
interface to the garbage collector that is used by the compiler. The
\code{initialize} function creates the FromSpace, ToSpace, and root
stack and should be called in the prelude of the \code{main}
function. The arguments of \code{initialize} are the root stack size
and the heap size. Both need to be multiples of $64$ and $16384$ is a
good choice for both.  The \code{initialize} function puts the address
of the beginning of the FromSpace into the global variable
\code{free\_ptr}. The global variable \code{fromspace\_end} points to
the address that is 1-past the last element of the FromSpace. (We use
half-open intervals to represent chunks of
memory~\citep{Dijkstra:1982aa}.)  The \code{rootstack\_begin} variable
points to the first element of the root stack.

As long as there is room left in the FromSpace, your generated code
can allocate tuples simply by moving the \code{free\_ptr} forward.
%
The amount of room left in FromSpace is the difference between the
\code{fromspace\_end} and the \code{free\_ptr}.  The \code{collect}
function should be called when there is not enough room left in the
FromSpace for the next allocation.  The \code{collect} function takes
a pointer to the current top of the root stack (one past the last item
that was pushed) and the number of bytes that need to be
allocated. The \code{collect} function performs the copying collection
and leaves the heap in a state such that the next allocation will
succeed.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
   void initialize(uint64_t rootstack_size, uint64_t heap_size);
   void collect(int64_t** rootstack_ptr, uint64_t bytes_requested);
   int64_t* free_ptr;
   int64_t* fromspace_begin;
   int64_t* fromspace_end;
   int64_t** rootstack_begin;
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{The compiler's interface to the garbage collector.}
\label{fig:gc-header}
\end{figure}

%% \begin{exercise}
%%   In the file \code{runtime.c} you will find the implementation of
%%   \code{initialize} and a partial implementation of \code{collect}.
%%   The \code{collect} function calls another function, \code{cheney},
%%   to perform the actual copy, and that function is left to the reader
%%   to implement. The following is the prototype for \code{cheney}.
%% \begin{lstlisting}
%%    static void cheney(int64_t** rootstack_ptr);
%% \end{lstlisting}
%%   The parameter \code{rootstack\_ptr} is a pointer to the top of the
%%   rootstack (which is an array of pointers).  The \code{cheney} function
%%   also communicates with \code{collect} through the global
%%   variables \code{fromspace\_begin} and \code{fromspace\_end}
%%   mentioned in Figure~\ref{fig:gc-header} as well as the pointers for
%%   the ToSpace:
%% \begin{lstlisting}
%%    static int64_t* tospace_begin;
%%    static int64_t* tospace_end;
%% \end{lstlisting}
%%   The job of the \code{cheney} function is to copy all the live
%%   objects (reachable from the root stack) into the ToSpace, update
%%   \code{free\_ptr} to point to the next unused spot in the ToSpace,
%%   update the root stack so that it points to the objects in the
%%   ToSpace, and finally to swap the global pointers for the FromSpace
%%   and ToSpace.
%% \end{exercise}


%% \section{Compiler Passes}
%% \label{sec:code-generation-gc}

The introduction of garbage collection has a non-trivial impact on our
compiler passes. We introduce a new compiler pass named
\code{expose-allocation}. We make
significant changes to \code{select-instructions},
\code{build-interference}, \code{allocate-registers}, and
\code{print-x86} and make minor changes in several more passes.  The
following program will serve as our running example.  It creates two
tuples, one nested inside the other. Both tuples have length one. The
program accesses the element in the inner tuple tuple via two vector
references.
% tests/s2_17.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(vector-ref (vector-ref (vector (vector 42)) 0) 0)
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Shrink}
\label{sec:shrink-Rvec}

Recall that the \code{shrink} pass translates the primitives operators
into a smaller set of primitives. Because this pass comes after type
checking, but before the passes that require the type information in
the \code{HasType} AST nodes, the \code{shrink} pass must be modified
to wrap \code{HasType} around each AST node that it generates.


\section{Expose Allocation}
\label{sec:expose-allocation}

The pass \code{expose-allocation} lowers the \code{vector} creation
form into a conditional call to the collector followed by the
allocation.  We choose to place the \code{expose-allocation} pass
before \code{remove-complex-opera*} because the code generated by
\code{expose-allocation} contains complex operands.  We also place
\code{expose-allocation} before \code{explicate-control} because
\code{expose-allocation} introduces new variables using \code{let},
but \code{let} is gone after \code{explicate-control}.

The output of \code{expose-allocation} is a language \LangAlloc{} that
extends \LangVec{} with the three new forms that we use in the translation
of the \code{vector} form.
\[
\begin{array}{lcl}
  \Exp &::=& \cdots
      \mid (\key{collect} \,\itm{int})
      \mid (\key{allocate} \,\itm{int}\,\itm{type})
      \mid (\key{global-value} \,\itm{name})
\end{array}
\]
The $(\key{collect}\,n)$ form runs the garbage collector, requesting
$n$ bytes. It will become a call to the \code{collect} function in
\code{runtime.c} in \code{select-instructions}.  The
$(\key{allocate}\,n\,T)$ form creates an tuple of $n$ elements.
\index{subject}{allocate}
The $T$ parameter is the type of the tuple: \code{(Vector $\Type_1 \ldots
  \Type_n$)} where $\Type_i$ is the type of the $i$th element in the
tuple. The $(\key{global-value}\,\itm{name})$ form reads the value of
a global variable, such as \code{free\_ptr}.

In the following, we show the transformation for the \code{vector}
form into 1) a sequence of let-bindings for the initializing
expressions, 2) a conditional call to \code{collect}, 3) a call to
\code{allocate}, and 4) the initialization of the vector. In the
following, \itm{len} refers to the length of the vector and
\itm{bytes} is how many total bytes need to be allocated for the
vector, which is 8 for the tag plus \itm{len} times 8.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (has-type (vector |$e_0 \ldots e_{n-1}$|) |\itm{type}|)
|$\Longrightarrow$|
  (let ([|$x_0$| |$e_0$|]) ... (let ([|$x_{n-1}$| |$e_{n-1}$|])
  (let ([_ (if (< (+ (global-value free_ptr) |\itm{bytes}|)
                  (global-value fromspace_end))
               (void)
               (collect |\itm{bytes}|))])
  (let ([|$v$| (allocate |\itm{len}| |\itm{type}|)])
  (let ([_ (vector-set! |$v$| |$0$| |$x_0$|)]) ...
  (let ([_ (vector-set! |$v$| |$n-1$| |$x_{n-1}$|)])
     |$v$|) ... )))) ...)
\end{lstlisting}
In the above, we suppressed all of the \code{has-type} forms in the
output for the sake of readability.  The placement of the initializing
expressions $e_0,\ldots,e_{n-1}$ prior to the \code{allocate} and the
sequence of \code{vector-set!} is important, as those expressions may
trigger garbage collection and we cannot have an allocated but
uninitialized tuple on the heap during a collection.

Figure~\ref{fig:expose-alloc-output} shows the output of the
\code{expose-allocation} pass on our running example.

Figure~\ref{fig:c2-concrete-syntax} of the Appendix.)  The new forms
of \LangCVec{} include the \key{allocate}, \key{vector-ref}, and
\key{vector-set!}, and \key{global-value} expressions and the
\code{collect} statement.  The \code{explicate-control} pass can treat
these new forms much like the other expression forms that we've
already encoutered.


\section{Select Instructions and the \LangXGlobal{} Language}
\label{sec:select-instructions-gc}
\index{subject}{instruction selection}

%% void (rep as zero)
%% allocate
%% collect (callq collect)
%% vector-ref
%% vector-set!
%% global (postpone)

In this pass we generate x86 code for most of the new operations that
were needed to compile tuples, including \code{Allocate},
\code{Collect}, \code{vector-ref}, \code{vector-set!}, and
\code{void}. We compile \code{GlobalValue} to \code{Global} because
the later has a different concrete syntax (see
Figures~\ref{fig:x86-2-concrete} and \ref{fig:x86-2}).
\index{subject}{x86}

The \code{vector-ref} and \code{vector-set!} forms translate into
\code{movq} instructions.  (The plus one in the offset is to get past
the tag at the beginning of the tuple representation.)
\begin{lstlisting}
|$\itm{lhs}$| = (vector-ref |$\itm{vec}$| |$n$|);
|$\Longrightarrow$|
movq |$\itm{vec}'$|, %r11
movq |$8(n+1)$|(%r11), |$\itm{lhs'}$|

|$\itm{lhs}$| = (vector-set! |$\itm{vec}$| |$n$| |$\itm{arg}$|);
|$\Longrightarrow$|
movq |$\itm{vec}'$|, %r11
movq |$\itm{arg}'$|, |$8(n+1)$|(%r11)
movq $0, |$\itm{lhs'}$|
\end{lstlisting}
The $\itm{lhs}'$, $\itm{vec}'$, and $\itm{arg}'$ are obtained by
translating $\itm{vec}$ and $\itm{arg}$ to x86.  The move of $\itm{vec}'$ to
register \code{r11} ensures that offset expression
\code{$-8(n+1)$(\%r11)} contains a register operand.  This requires
removing \code{r11} from consideration by the register allocating.

Why not use \code{rax} instead of \code{r11}? Suppose we instead used
\code{rax}. Then the generated code for \code{vector-set!} would be
\begin{lstlisting}
movq |$\itm{vec}'$|, %rax
movq |$\itm{arg}'$|, |$8(n+1)$|(%rax)
movq $0, |$\itm{lhs}'$|
\end{lstlisting}
Next, suppose that $\itm{arg}'$ ends up as a stack location, so
\code{patch-instructions} would insert a move through \code{rax}
as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
movq |$\itm{vec}'$|, %rax
movq |$\itm{arg}'$|, %rax
movq %rax, |$8(n+1)$|(%rax)
movq $0, |$\itm{lhs}'$|
\end{lstlisting}
But the above sequence of instructions does not work because we're
trying to use \code{rax} for two different values ($\itm{vec}'$ and
$\itm{arg}'$) at the same time!

We compile the \code{allocate} form to operations on the
\code{free\_ptr}, as shown below. The address in the \code{free\_ptr}
is the next free address in the FromSpace, so we copy it into
\code{r11} and then move it forward by enough space for the tuple
being allocated, which is $8(\itm{len}+1)$ bytes because each element
is 8 bytes (64 bits) and we use 8 bytes for the tag.  We then
initialize the \itm{tag} and finally copy the address in \code{r11} to
the left-hand-side. Refer to Figure~\ref{fig:tuple-rep} to see how the
tag is organized. We recommend using the Racket operations
\code{bitwise-ior} and \code{arithmetic-shift} to compute the tag
during compilation.  The type annotation in the \code{vector} form is
used to determine the pointer mask region of the tag.
\begin{lstlisting}
   |$\itm{lhs}$| = (allocate |$\itm{len}$| (Vector |$\itm{type} \ldots$|));
   |$\Longrightarrow$|
   movq free_ptr(%rip), %r11
   addq |$8(\itm{len}+1)$|, free_ptr(%rip)
   movq $|$\itm{tag}$|, 0(%r11)
   movq %r11, |$\itm{lhs}'$|
\end{lstlisting}

The \code{collect} form is compiled to a call to the \code{collect}
function in the runtime. The arguments to \code{collect} are 1) the
top of the root stack and 2) the number of bytes that need to be
allocated.  We use another dedicated register, \code{r15}, to
store the pointer to the top of the root stack. So \code{r15} is not
available for use by the register allocator.
\begin{lstlisting}
   (collect |$\itm{bytes}$|)
   |$\Longrightarrow$|
   movq %r15, %rdi
   movq $|\itm{bytes}|, %rsi
   callq collect
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Register Allocation}
\label{sec:reg-alloc-gc}
\index{subject}{register allocation}

As discussed earlier in this chapter, the garbage collector needs to
access all the pointers in the root set, that is, all variables that
are vectors. It will be the responsibility of the register allocator
to make sure that:
\begin{enumerate}
\item the root stack is used for spilling vector-typed variables, and
\item if a vector-typed variable is live during a call to the
  collector, it must be spilled to ensure it is visible to the
  collector.
\end{enumerate}

The later responsibility can be handled during construction of the
interference graph, by adding interference edges between the call-live
vector-typed variables and all the callee-saved registers. (They
already interfere with the caller-saved registers.)  The type
information for variables is in the \code{Program} form, so we
recommend adding another parameter to the \code{build-interference}
function to communicate this alist.

The spilling of vector-typed variables to the root stack can be
handled after graph coloring, when choosing how to assign the colors
(integers) to registers and stack locations. The \code{Program} output
of this pass changes to also record the number of spills to the root
stack.

% don't change color-graph



\section{Print x86}
\label{sec:print-x86-gc}
\index{subject}{prelude}\index{subject}{conclusion}

Figure~\ref{fig:print-x86-output-gc} shows the output of the
\code{print-x86} pass on the running example. In the prelude and
conclusion of the \code{main} function, we treat the root stack very
much like the regular stack in that we move the root stack pointer
(\code{r15}) to make room for the spills to the root stack, except
that the root stack grows up instead of down.  For the running
example, there was just one spill so we increment \code{r15} by 8
bytes. In the conclusion we decrement \code{r15} by 8 bytes.

One issue that deserves special care is that there may be a call to
\code{collect} prior to the initializing assignments for all the
variables in the root stack. We do not want the garbage collector to
accidentally think that some uninitialized variable is a pointer that
needs to be followed. Thus, we zero-out all locations on the root
stack in the prelude of \code{main}. In
Figure~\ref{fig:print-x86-output-gc}, the instruction
%
\lstinline{movq $0, (%r15)}
%
accomplishes this task. The garbage collector tests each root to see
if it is null prior to dereferencing it.

\section{Challenge: Simple Structures}

\index{subject}{struct}
\index{subject}{structure}

Figure~\ref{fig:r3s-concrete-syntax} defines the concrete syntax for
\LangStruct{}, which extends \LangVec{} with support for simple structures.
Recall that a \code{struct} in Typed Racket is a user-defined data
type that contains named fields and that is heap allocated, similar to
a vector. The following is an example of a structure definition, in
this case the definition of a \code{point} type.
\begin{lstlisting}
(struct point ([x : Integer] [y : Integer]) #:mutable)
\end{lstlisting}

}
\caption{The concrete syntax of \LangStruct{}, extending \LangVec{}
  (Figure~\ref{fig:Rvec-concrete-syntax}).}
\label{fig:r3s-concrete-syntax}
\end{figure}

An instance of a structure is created using function call syntax, with
the name of the structure in the function position:
\begin{lstlisting}
(point 7 12)
\end{lstlisting}
Function-call syntax is also used to read the value in a field of a
structure. The function name is formed by the structure name, a dash,
and the field name. The following example uses \code{point-x} and
\code{point-y} to access the \code{x} and \code{y} fields of two point
instances.
\begin{center}
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([pt1 (point 7 12)])
  (let ([pt2 (point 4 3)])
    (+ (- (point-x pt1) (point-x pt2))
       (- (point-y pt1) (point-y pt2)))))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{center}
Similarly, to write to a field of a structure, use its set function,
whose name starts with \code{set-}, followed by the structure name,
then a dash, then the field name, and concluded with an exclamation
mark. The following example uses \code{set-point-x!} to change the
\code{x} field from \code{7} to \code{42}.
\begin{center}
  \begin{lstlisting}
(let ([pt (point 7 12)])
  (let ([_ (set-point-x! pt 42)])
    (point-x pt)))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{center}

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
  Extend your compiler with support for simple structures, compiling
  \LangStruct{} to x86 assembly code. Create five new test cases that use
  structures and test your compiler.
\end{exercise}


\section{Challenge: Generational Collection}

The copying collector described in Section~\ref{sec:GC} can incur
significant runtime overhead because the call to \code{collect} takes
time proportional to all of the live data. One way to reduce this
overhead is to reduce how much data is inspected in each call to
\code{collect}. In particular, researchers have observed that recently
allocated data is more likely to become garbage then data that has
survived one or more previous calls to \code{collect}. This insight
motivated the creation of \emph{generational garbage collectors}
\index{subject}{generational garbage collector} that
1) segregates data according to its age into two or more generations,
2) allocates less space for younger generations, so collecting them is
faster, and more space for the older generations, and 3) performs
collection on the younger generations more frequently then for older
generations~\citep{Wilson:1992fk}.

For this challenge assignment, the goal is to adapt the copying
collector implemented in \code{runtime.c} to use two generations, one
for young data and one for old data. Each generation consists of a
FromSpace and a ToSpace. The following is a sketch of how to adapt the
\code{collect} function to use the two generations.

\begin{enumerate}
\item Copy the young generation's FromSpace to its ToSpace then switch
  the role of the ToSpace and FromSpace
\item If there is enough space for the requested number of bytes in
  the young FromSpace, then return from \code{collect}.
\item If there is not enough space in the young FromSpace for the
  requested bytes, then move the data from the young generation to the
  old one with the following steps:
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item If there is enough room in the old FromSpace, copy the young
    FromSpace to the old FromSpace and then return.
  \item If there is not enough room in the old FromSpace, then collect
    the old generation by copying the old FromSpace to the old ToSpace
    and swap the roles of the old FromSpace and ToSpace.
  \item If there is enough room now, copy the young FromSpace to the
    old FromSpace and return. Otherwise, allocate a larger FromSpace
    and ToSpace for the old generation.  Copy the young FromSpace and
    the old FromSpace into the larger FromSpace for the old
    generation and then return.
  \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

We recommend that you generalize the \code{cheney} function so that it
can be used for all the copies mentioned above: between the young
FromSpace and ToSpace, between the old FromSpace and ToSpace, and
between the young FromSpace and old FromSpace. This can be
accomplished by adding parameters to \code{cheney} that replace its
use of the global variables \code{fromspace\_begin},
\code{fromspace\_end}, \code{tospace\_begin}, and \code{tospace\_end}.

Note that the collection of the young generation does not traverse the
old generation. This introduces a potential problem: there may be
young data that is only reachable through pointers in the old
generation. If these pointers are not taken into account, the
collector could throw away young data that is live!  One solution,
called \emph{pointer recording}, is to maintain a set of all the
pointers from the old generation into the new generation and consider
this set as part of the root set.  To maintain this set, the compiler
must insert extra instructions around every \code{vector-set!}. If the
vector being modified is in the old generation, and if the value being
written is a pointer into the new generation, than that pointer must
be added to the set. Also, if the value being overwritten was a
pointer into the new generation, then that pointer should be removed
from the set.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
  Adapt the \code{collect} function in \code{runtime.c} to implement
  generational garbage collection, as outlined in this section.
  Update the code generation for \code{vector-set!} to implement
  pointer recording. Make sure that your new compiler and runtime
  passes your test suite.

\chapter{Functions}
\label{ch:Rfun}
\index{subject}{function}

This chapter studies the compilation of functions similar to those
found in the C language. This corresponds to a subset of Typed Racket
in which only top-level function definitions are allowed. This kind of
function is an important stepping stone to implementing
lexically-scoped functions, that is, \key{lambda} abstractions, which
is the topic of Chapter~\ref{ch:Rlam}.

\section{The \LangFun{} Language}

The concrete and abstract syntax for function definitions and function
application is shown in Figures~\ref{fig:Rfun-concrete-syntax} and
\ref{fig:Rfun-syntax}, where we define the \LangFun{} language.  Programs in
\LangFun{} begin with zero or more function definitions.  The function
names from these definitions are in-scope for the entire program,
including all other function definitions (so the ordering of function
definitions does not matter). The concrete syntax for function
application\index{subject}{function application} is $(\Exp \; \Exp \ldots)$
where the first expression must
evaluate to a function and the rest are the arguments.
The abstract syntax for function application is
$\APPLY{\Exp}{\Exp\ldots}$.

%% The syntax for function application does not include an explicit
%% keyword, which is error prone when using \code{match}. To alleviate
%% this problem, we translate the syntax from $(\Exp \; \Exp \ldots)$ to
%% $(\key{app}\; \Exp \; \Exp \ldots)$ during type checking.

Functions are first-class in the sense that a function pointer
\index{subject}{function pointer} is data and can be stored in memory or passed
as a parameter to another function.  Thus, we introduce a function
type, written
\begin{lstlisting}
   (|$\Type_1$| |$\cdots$| |$\Type_n$| -> |$\Type_r$|)
\end{lstlisting}
for a function whose $n$ parameters have the types $\Type_1$ through
$\Type_n$ and whose return type is $\Type_r$. The main limitation of
these functions (with respect to Racket functions) is that they are
not lexically scoped. That is, the only external entities that can be
referenced from inside a function body are other globally-defined
functions. The syntax of \LangFun{} prevents functions from being nested
inside each other.

The program in Figure~\ref{fig:Rfun-function-example} is a
representative example of defining and using functions in \LangFun{}.  We
define a function \code{map-vec} that applies some other function
\code{f} to both elements of a vector and returns a new
vector containing the results. We also define a function \code{add1}.
The program applies
\code{map-vec} to \code{add1} and \code{(vector 0 41)}.  The result is
\code{(vector 1 42)}, from which we return the \code{42}.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (map-vec [f : (Integer -> Integer)]
                   [v : (Vector Integer Integer)])
        : (Vector Integer Integer)
  (vector (f (vector-ref v 0)) (f (vector-ref v 1))))

(define (add1 [x : Integer]) : Integer
  (+ x 1))

\end{figure}

The definitional interpreter for \LangFun{} is in
Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rfun}. The case for the \code{ProgramDefsExp} form is
responsible for setting up the mutual recursion between the top-level
function definitions. We use the classic back-patching \index{subject}{back-patching}
approach that uses mutable variables and makes two passes over the function
definitions~\citep{Kelsey:1998di}.  In the first pass we set up the
top-level environment using a mutable cons cell for each function
definition. Note that the \code{lambda} value for each function is
incomplete; it does not yet include the environment.  Once the
top-level environment is constructed, we then iterate over it and
update the \code{lambda} values to use the top-level environment.

\section{Functions in x86}
\label{sec:fun-x86}

%% \margincomment{\tiny Make sure callee-saved registers are discussed
%%    in enough depth, especially updating Fig 6.4 \\ --Jeremy }

%% \margincomment{\tiny Talk about the return address on the
%%    stack and what callq  and retq does.\\ --Jeremy }

The x86 architecture provides a few features to support the
implementation of functions. We have already seen that x86 provides
labels so that one can refer to the location of an instruction, as is
needed for jump instructions. Labels can also be used to mark the
beginning of the instructions for a function.  Going further, we can
obtain the address of a label by using the \key{leaq} instruction and
PC-relative addressing. For example, the following puts the
address of the \code{add1} label into the \code{rbx} register.
\begin{lstlisting}
   leaq add1(%rip), %rbx
\end{lstlisting}
The instruction pointer register \key{rip} (aka. the program counter
\index{subject}{program counter}) always points to the next instruction to be
executed. When combined with an label, as in \code{add1(\%rip)}, the
linker computes the distance $d$ between the address of \code{add1}
and where the \code{rip} would be at that moment and then changes
\code{add1(\%rip)} to \code{$d$(\%rip)}, which at runtime will compute
the address of \code{add1}.

In Section~\ref{sec:x86} we used of the \code{callq} instruction to
jump to a function whose location is given by a label. To support
function calls in this chapter we instead will be jumping to a
function whose location is given by an address in a register, that is,
we need to make an \emph{indirect function call}. The x86 syntax for
this is a \code{callq} instruction but with an asterisk before the
register name.\index{subject}{indirect function call}
\begin{lstlisting}
   callq *%rbx
\end{lstlisting}


\subsection{Calling Conventions}

\index{subject}{calling conventions}

The \code{callq} instruction provides partial support for implementing
functions: it pushes the return address on the stack and it jumps to
the target. However, \code{callq} does not handle
\begin{enumerate}
\item parameter passing,
\item pushing frames on the procedure call stack and popping them off,
  or
\item determining how registers are shared by different functions.
\end{enumerate}

Regarding (1) parameter passing, recall that the following six
registers are used to pass arguments to a function, in this order.
\begin{lstlisting}
rdi rsi rdx rcx r8 r9
\end{lstlisting}
If there are
more than six arguments, then the convention is to use space on the
frame of the caller for the rest of the arguments. However, to ease
the implementation of efficient tail calls
(Section~\ref{sec:tail-call}), we arrange never to need more than six
arguments.
%
Also recall that the register \code{rax} is for the return value of
the function.

\index{subject}{prelude}\index{subject}{conclusion}

Regarding (2) frames \index{subject}{frame} and the procedure call stack,
\index{subject}{procedure call stack} recall from Section~\ref{sec:x86} that
the stack grows down, with each function call using a chunk of space
called a frame. The caller sets the stack pointer, register
\code{rsp}, to the last data item in its frame. The callee must not
change anything in the caller's frame, that is, anything that is at or
above the stack pointer. The callee is free to use locations that are
below the stack pointer.

Recall that we are storing variables of vector type on the root stack.
So the prelude needs to move the root stack pointer \code{r15} up and
the conclusion needs to move the root stack pointer back down.  Also,
the prelude must initialize to \code{0} this frame's slots in the root
stack to signal to the garbage collector that those slots do not yet
contain a pointer to a vector. Otherwise the garbage collector will
interpret the garbage bits in those slots as memory addresses and try
to traverse them, causing serious mayhem!

Regarding (3) the sharing of registers between different functions,
recall from Section~\ref{sec:calling-conventions} that the registers
are divided into two groups, the caller-saved registers and the
callee-saved registers. The caller should assume that all the
caller-saved registers get overwritten with arbitrary values by the
callee. That is why we recommend in
Section~\ref{sec:calling-conventions} that variables that are live
during a function call should not be assigned to caller-saved
registers.

On the flip side, if the callee wants to use a callee-saved register,
the callee must save the contents of those registers on their stack
frame and then put them back prior to returning to the caller.  That
is why we recommended in Section~\ref{sec:calling-conventions} that if
the register allocator assigns a variable to a callee-saved register,
then the prelude of the \code{main} function must save that register
to the stack and the conclusion of \code{main} must restore it.  This
recommendation now generalizes to all functions.

Also recall that the base pointer, register \code{rbp}, is used as a
point-of-reference within a frame, so that each local variable can be
accessed at a fixed offset from the base pointer
(Section~\ref{sec:x86}).
%
Figure~\ref{fig:call-frames} shows the general layout of the caller
and callee frames.

%% Recall from Section~\ref{sec:x86} that the stack is also used for
%% local variables and for storing the values of callee-saved registers
%% (we shall refer to all of these collectively as ``locals''), and that
%% at the beginning of a function we move the stack pointer \code{rsp}
%% down to make room for them.
%% We recommend storing the local variables
%% first and then the callee-saved registers, so that the local variables
%% can be accessed using \code{rbp} the same as before the addition of
%% functions.
%% To make additional room for passing arguments, we shall
%% move the stack pointer even further down. We count how many stack
%% arguments are needed for each function call that occurs inside the
%% body of the function and find their maximum. Adding this number to the
%% number of locals gives us how much the \code{rsp} should be moved at
%% the beginning of the function. In preparation for a function call, we
%% offset from \code{rsp} to set up the stack arguments. We put the first
%% stack argument in \code{0(\%rsp)}, the second in \code{8(\%rsp)}, and
%% so on.

%% Upon calling the function, the stack arguments are retrieved by the
%% callee using the base pointer \code{rbp}. The address \code{16(\%rbp)}
%% is the location of the first stack argument, \code{24(\%rbp)} is the
%% address of the second, and so on. Figure~\ref{fig:call-frames} shows
%% the layout of the caller and callee frames. Notice how important it is
%% that we correctly compute the maximum number of arguments needed for
%% function calls; if that number is too small then the arguments and
%% local variables will smash into each other!

\subsection{Efficient Tail Calls}
\label{sec:tail-call}

In general, the amount of stack space used by a program is determined
by the longest chain of nested function calls. That is, if function
$f_1$ calls $f_2$, $f_2$ calls $f_3$, $\ldots$, and $f_{n-1}$ calls
$f_n$, then the amount of stack space is bounded by $O(n)$.  The depth
$n$ can grow quite large in the case of recursive or mutually
recursive functions. However, in some cases we can arrange to use only
constant space, i.e. $O(1)$, instead of $O(n)$.

If a function call is the last action in a function body, then that
call is said to be a \emph{tail call}\index{subject}{tail call}.
For example, in the following
program, the recursive call to \code{tail-sum} is a tail call.
\begin{center}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (tail-sum [n : Integer] [r : Integer]) : Integer
  (if (eq? n 0) 
      r
      (tail-sum (- n 1) (+ n r))))

(+ (tail-sum 5 0) 27)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{center}
At a tail call, the frame of the caller is no longer needed, so we
can pop the caller's frame before making the tail call. With this
approach, a recursive function that only makes tail calls will only
use $O(1)$ stack space.  Functional languages like Racket typically
rely heavily on recursive functions, so they typically guarantee that
all tail calls will be optimized in this way.
\index{subject}{frame}

However, some care is needed with regards to argument passing in tail
calls.  As mentioned above, for arguments beyond the sixth, the
convention is to use space in the caller's frame for passing
arguments.  But for a tail call we pop the caller's frame and can no
longer use it.  Another alternative is to use space in the callee's
frame for passing arguments. However, this option is also problematic
because the caller and callee's frame overlap in memory.  As we begin
to copy the arguments from their sources in the caller's frame, the
target locations in the callee's frame might overlap with the sources
for later arguments! We solve this problem by not using the stack for
passing more than six arguments but instead using the heap, as we
describe in the Section~\ref{sec:limit-functions-r4}.

As mentioned above, for a tail call we pop the caller's frame prior to
making the tail call. The instructions for popping a frame are the
instructions that we usually place in the conclusion of a
function. Thus, we also need to place such code immediately before
each tail call. These instructions include restoring the callee-saved
registers, so it is good that the argument passing registers are all
caller-saved registers.

One last note regarding which instruction to use to make the tail
call. When the callee is finished, it should not return to the current
function, but it should return to the function that called the current
one. Thus, the return address that is already on the stack is the
right one, and we should not use \key{callq} to make the tail call, as
that would unnecessarily overwrite the return address. Instead we can
simply use the \key{jmp} instruction. Like the indirect function call,
we write an \emph{indirect jump}\index{subject}{indirect jump} with a register
prefixed with an asterisk.  We recommend using \code{rax} to hold the
jump target because the preceding conclusion overwrites just about
everything else.
\begin{lstlisting}
   jmp *%rax
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Shrink \LangFun{}}
\label{sec:shrink-r4}

The \code{shrink} pass performs a minor modification to ease the
later passes. This pass introduces an explicit \code{main} function
and changes the top \code{ProgramDefsExp} form to
\code{ProgramDefs} as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
   (ProgramDefsExp |$\itm{info}$| (|$\Def\ldots$|) |$\Exp$|)
|$\Rightarrow$| (ProgramDefs |$\itm{info}$| (|$\Def\ldots$| |$\itm{mainDef}$|))
\end{lstlisting}
where $\itm{mainDef}$ is
\begin{lstlisting}
(Def 'main '() 'Integer '() |$\Exp'$|)
\end{lstlisting}


\section{Reveal Functions and the \LangFunRef{} language}
\label{sec:reveal-functions-r4}

The syntax of \LangFun{} is inconvenient for purposes of compilation in one
respect: it conflates the use of function names and local
variables. This is a problem because we need to compile the use of a
function name differently than the use of a local variable; we need to
use \code{leaq} to convert the function name (a label in x86) to an
address in a register.  Thus, it is a good idea to create a new pass
that changes function references from just a symbol $f$ to
$\FUNREF{f}$. This pass is named \code{reveal-functions} and the
output language, \LangFunRef{}, is defined in Figure~\ref{fig:f1-syntax}.
The concrete syntax for a function reference is $\CFUNREF{f}$.

\begin{figure}[tp]
\centering
\fbox{
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\[
\begin{array}{lcl}
\Exp &::=& \ldots \mid \FUNREF{\Var}\\
 \Def &::=& \gray{ \FUNDEF{\Var}{([\Var \code{:} \Type]\ldots)}{\Type}{\code{'()}}{\Exp} }\\
  \LangFunRefM{} &::=& \PROGRAMDEFS{\code{'()}}{\LP \Def\ldots \RP}
\end{array}
\]
\end{minipage}
}
\caption{The abstract syntax \LangFunRef{}, an extension of \LangFun{}
  (Figure~\ref{fig:Rfun-syntax}).}
\label{fig:f1-syntax}
\end{figure}

%% Distinguishing between calls in tail position and non-tail position
%% requires the pass to have some notion of context. We recommend using
%% two mutually recursive functions, one for processing expressions in
%% tail position and another for the rest. 

Placing this pass after \code{uniquify} will make sure that there are
no local variables and functions that share the same name. On the
other hand, \code{reveal-functions} needs to come before the
\code{explicate-control} pass because that pass helps us compile
\code{FunRef} forms into assignment statements.

\section{Limit Functions}
\label{sec:limit-functions-r4}

Recall that we wish to limit the number of function parameters to six
so that we do not need to use the stack for argument passing, which
makes it easier to implement efficient tail calls.  However, because
the input language \LangFun{} supports arbitrary numbers of function
arguments, we have some work to do!

This pass transforms functions and function calls that involve more
than six arguments to pass the first five arguments as usual, but it
packs the rest of the arguments into a vector and passes it as the
sixth argument.

Each function definition with too many parameters is transformed as
follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (Def |$f$| ([|$x_1$|:|$T_1$|] |$\ldots$| [|$x_n$|:|$T_n$|]) |$T_r$| |$\itm{info}$| |$\itm{body}$|) 
|$\Rightarrow$|
  (Def |$f$| ([|$x_1$|:|$T_1$|] |$\ldots$| [|$x_5$|:|$T_5$|] [vec : (Vector |$T_6 \ldots T_n$|)]) |$T_r$| |$\itm{info}$| |$\itm{body}'$|) 
\end{lstlisting}
where the $\itm{body}$ is transformed into $\itm{body}'$ by replacing
the occurrences of the later parameters with vector references.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (Var |$x_i$|) |$\Rightarrow$| (Prim 'vector-ref (list vec (Int |$(i - 6)$|)))
\end{lstlisting}

For function calls with too many arguments, the \code{limit-functions}
pass transforms them in the following way.

\begin{tabular}{lll}
\begin{minipage}{0.2\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
  (|$e_0$| |$e_1$| |$\ldots$| |$e_n$|) 
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
&
$\Rightarrow$
&
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(|$e_0$| |$e_1 \ldots e_5$| (vector |$e_6 \ldots e_n$|))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{tabular}


\section{Remove Complex Operands}
\label{sec:rco-r4}

The primary decisions to make for this pass is whether to classify
\code{FunRef} and \code{Apply} as either atomic or complex
expressions. Recall that a simple expression will eventually end up as
just an immediate argument of an x86 instruction. Function
application will be translated to a sequence of instructions, so
\code{Apply} must be classified as complex expression.
On the other hand, the arguments of \code{Apply} should be
atomic expressions.
%
Regarding \code{FunRef}, as discussed above, the function label needs
to be converted to an address using the \code{leaq} instruction. Thus,
even though \code{FunRef} seems rather simple, it needs to be
classified as a complex expression so that we generate an assignment
statement with a left-hand side that can serve as the target of the
\code{leaq}. Figure~\ref{fig:Rfun-anf-syntax} defines the
output language \LangFunANF{} of this pass.

\section{Explicate Control and the \LangCFun{} language}
\label{sec:explicate-control-r4}

Figure~\ref{fig:c3-syntax} defines the abstract syntax for \LangCFun{}, the
output of \key{explicate-control}. (The concrete syntax is given in
Figure~\ref{fig:c3-concrete-syntax} of the Appendix.) The auxiliary
functions for assignment and tail contexts should be updated with
cases for \code{Apply} and \code{FunRef} and the function for
predicate context should be updated for \code{Apply} but not
\code{FunRef}.  (A \code{FunRef} can't be a Boolean.)  In assignment
and predicate contexts, \code{Apply} becomes \code{Call}, whereas in
tail position \code{Apply} becomes \code{TailCall}.  We recommend
defining a new auxiliary function for processing function definitions.
This code is similar to the case for \code{Program} in \LangVec{}.  The
top-level \code{explicate-control} function that handles the
\code{ProgramDefs} form of \LangFun{} can then apply this new function to
all the function definitions.

An assignment of a function reference to a variable becomes a
load-effective-address instruction as follows: \\
\begin{tabular}{lcl}
\begin{minipage}{0.35\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
  |$\itm{lhs}$| = (fun-ref |$f$|);
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
&
$\Rightarrow$\qquad\qquad
&
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
leaq (fun-ref |$f$|), |$\itm{lhs}'$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{tabular} \\

Regarding function definitions, we need to remove the parameters and
instead perform parameter passing using the conventions discussed in
Section~\ref{sec:fun-x86}. That is, the arguments are passed in
registers. We recommend turning the parameters into local variables
and generating instructions at the beginning of the function to move
from the argument passing registers to these local variables.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (Def |$f$| '([|$x_1$| : |$T_1$|] [|$x_2$| : |$T_2$|]  |$\ldots$| ) |$T_r$| |$\itm{info}$| |$G$|)
  |$\Rightarrow$|
  (Def |$f$| '() 'Integer |$\itm{info}'$| |$G'$|)
\end{lstlisting}
The $G'$ control-flow graph is the same as $G$ except that the
\code{start} block is modified to add the instructions for moving from
the argument registers to the parameter variables. So the \code{start}
block of $G$ shown on the left is changed to the code on the right.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
start:
  |$\itm{instr}_1$|
  |$\vdots$|
  |$\itm{instr}_n$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
$\Rightarrow$
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
start:
  movq %rdi, |$x_1$|
  movq %rsi, |$x_2$|
  |$\vdots$|
  |$\itm{instr}_1$|
  |$\vdots$|
  |$\itm{instr}_n$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
By changing the parameters to local variables, we are giving the
register allocator control over which registers or stack locations to
use for them. If you implemented the move-biasing challenge
(Section~\ref{sec:move-biasing}), the register allocator will try to
assign the parameter variables to the corresponding argument register,
in which case the \code{patch-instructions} pass will remove the
\code{movq} instruction. This happens in the example translation in
Figure~\ref{fig:add-fun} of Section~\ref{sec:functions-example}, in
the \code{add} function.
%
Also, note that the register allocator will perform liveness analysis
on this sequence of move instructions and build the interference
graph. So, for example, $x_1$ will be marked as interfering with
\code{rsi} and that will prevent the assignment of $x_1$ to
\code{rsi}, which is good, because that would overwrite the argument
that needs to move into $x_2$.

Next, consider the compilation of function calls. In the mirror image
of handling the parameters of function definitions, the arguments need
to be moved to the argument passing registers.  The function call
itself is performed with an indirect function call. The return value
from the function is stored in \code{rax}, so it needs to be moved
into the \itm{lhs}.
\begin{lstlisting}
  |\itm{lhs}| = (call |\itm{fun}| |$\itm{arg}_1~\itm{arg}_2\ldots$|));
  |$\Rightarrow$|
  movq |$\itm{arg}_1$|, %rdi
  movq |$\itm{arg}_2$|, %rsi
  |$\vdots$|
  callq *|\itm{fun}|
  movq %rax, |\itm{lhs}|
\end{lstlisting}
The \code{IndirectCallq} AST node includes an integer for the arity of
the function, i.e., the number of parameters. That information is
useful in the \code{uncover-live} pass for determining which
argument-passing registers are potentially read during the call.

For tail calls, the parameter passing is the same as non-tail calls:
generate instructions to move the arguments into to the argument
passing registers.  After that we need to pop the frame from the
procedure call stack.  However, we do not yet know how big the frame
is; that gets determined during register allocation. So instead of
generating those instructions here, we invent a new instruction that
means ``pop the frame and then do an indirect jump'', which we name
\code{TailJmp}. The abstract syntax for this instruction includes an
argument that specifies where to jump and an integer that represents
the arity of the function being called.

Recall that in Section~\ref{sec:explicate-control-Rvar} we recommended
using the label \code{start} for the initial block of a program, and
in Section~\ref{sec:select-Rvar} we recommended labeling the conclusion
of the program with \code{conclusion}, so that $(\key{Return}\;\Arg)$
can be compiled to an assignment to \code{rax} followed by a jump to
\code{conclusion}. With the addition of function definitions, we will
have a starting block and conclusion for each function, but their
labels need to be unique. We recommend prepending the function's name
to \code{start} and \code{conclusion}, respectively, to obtain unique
labels. (Alternatively, one could \code{gensym} labels for the start
and conclusion and store them in the $\itm{info}$ field of the
function definition.)


\section{Register Allocation}
\label{sec:register-allocation-r4}


\subsection{Liveness Analysis}
\label{sec:liveness-analysis-r4}
\index{subject}{liveness analysis}

%% The rest of the passes need only minor modifications to handle the new
%% kinds of AST nodes: \code{fun-ref}, \code{indirect-callq}, and
%% \code{leaq}. 

The \code{IndirectCallq} instruction should be treated like
\code{Callq} regarding its written locations $W$, in that they should
include all the caller-saved registers. Recall that the reason for
that is to force call-live variables to be assigned to callee-saved
registers or to be spilled to the stack.

Regarding the set of read locations $R$ the arity field of
\code{TailJmp} and \code{IndirectCallq} determines how many of the
argument-passing registers should be considered as read by those
instructions.

\subsection{Build Interference Graph}
\label{sec:build-interference-r4}

With the addition of function definitions, we compute an interference
graph for each function (not just one for the whole program).

Recall that in Section~\ref{sec:reg-alloc-gc} we discussed the need to
spill vector-typed variables that are live during a call to the
\code{collect}.  With the addition of functions to our language, we
need to revisit this issue. Many functions perform allocation and
therefore have calls to the collector inside of them. Thus, we should
not only spill a vector-typed variable when it is live during a call
to \code{collect}, but we should spill the variable if it is live
during any function call. Thus, in the \code{build-interference} pass,
we recommend adding interference edges between call-live vector-typed
variables and the callee-saved registers (in addition to the usual
addition of edges between call-live variables and the caller-saved
registers).


\subsection{Allocate Registers}

The primary change to the \code{allocate-registers} pass is adding an
auxiliary function for handling definitions (the \Def{} non-terminal
in Figure~\ref{fig:x86-3}) with one case for function definitions. The
logic is the same as described in
Chapter~\ref{ch:register-allocation-Rvar}, except now register
allocation is performed many times, once for each function definition,
instead of just once for the whole program.


\section{Patch Instructions}

In \code{patch-instructions}, you should deal with the x86
idiosyncrasy that the destination argument of \code{leaq} must be a
register. Additionally, you should ensure that the argument of
\code{TailJmp} is \itm{rax}, our reserved register---this is to make
code generation more convenient, because we trample many registers
before the tail call (as explained in the next section).

\section{Print x86}

For the \code{print-x86} pass, the cases for \code{FunRef} and
\code{IndirectCallq} are straightforward: output their concrete
syntax.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (FunRef |\itm{label}|) |$\Rightarrow$| |\itm{label}|(%rip)
  (IndirectCallq |\itm{arg}| |\itm{int}|) |$\Rightarrow$| callq *|\itm{arg}'|
\end{lstlisting}

The \code{TailJmp} node requires a bit work. A straightforward
translation of \code{TailJmp} would be \code{jmp *$\itm{arg}$}, but
before the jump we need to pop the current frame. This sequence of
instructions is the same as the code for the conclusion of a function,
except the \code{retq} is replaced with \code{jmp *$\itm{arg}$}.

Regarding function definitions, you will need to generate a prelude
and conclusion for each one. This code is similar to the prelude and
conclusion that you generated for the \code{main} function in
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rvec}. To review, the prelude of every function
should carry out the following steps.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Start with \code{.global} and \code{.align} directives followed
  by the label for the function.  (See Figure~\ref{fig:add-fun} for an
  example.)
\item Push \code{rbp} to the stack and set \code{rbp} to current stack
  pointer.
\item Push to the stack all of the callee-saved registers that were
  used for register allocation.
\item Move the stack pointer \code{rsp} down by the size of the stack
  frame for this function, which depends on the number of regular
  spills. (Aligned to 16 bytes.)
\item Move the root stack pointer \code{r15} up by the size of the
  root-stack frame for this function, which depends on the number of
  spilled vectors. \label{root-stack-init}
\item Initialize to zero all of the entries in the root-stack frame.
\item Jump to the start block.
\end{enumerate}
The prelude of the \code{main} function has one additional task: call
the \code{initialize} function to set up the garbage collector and
move the value of the global \code{rootstack\_begin} in
\code{r15}. This should happen before step \ref{root-stack-init}
above, which depends on \code{r15}.

The conclusion of every function should do the following.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Move the stack pointer back up by the size of the stack frame
  for this function.
\item Restore the callee-saved registers by popping them from the
  stack.
\item Move the root stack pointer back down by the size of the
  root-stack frame for this function.
\item Restore \code{rbp} by popping it from the stack.
\item Return to the caller with the \code{retq} instruction.
\end{enumerate}


\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Expand your compiler to handle \LangFun{} as outlined in this chapter.
Create 5 new programs that use functions, including examples that pass
functions and return functions from other functions, recursive
functions, functions that create vectors, and functions that make tail
calls. Test your compiler on these new programs and all of your
previously created test programs.

\chapter{Lexically Scoped Functions}
\label{ch:Rlam}
\index{subject}{lambda}
\index{subject}{lexical scoping}

This chapter studies lexically scoped functions as they appear in
functional languages such as Racket. By lexical scoping we mean that a
function's body may refer to variables whose binding site is outside
of the function, in an enclosing scope.
%
Consider the example in Figure~\ref{fig:lexical-scoping} written in
\LangLam{}, which extends \LangFun{} with anonymous functions using the
\key{lambda} form.  The body of the \key{lambda}, refers to three
variables: \code{x}, \code{y}, and \code{z}. The binding sites for
\code{x} and \code{y} are outside of the \key{lambda}. Variable
\code{y} is bound by the enclosing \key{let} and \code{x} is a
parameter of function \code{f}. The \key{lambda} is returned from the
function \code{f}. The main expression of the program includes two
calls to \code{f} with different arguments for \code{x}, first
\code{5} then \code{3}. The functions returned from \code{f} are bound
to variables \code{g} and \code{h}. Even though these two functions
were created by the same \code{lambda}, they are really different
functions because they use different values for \code{x}. Applying
\code{g} to \code{11} produces \code{20} whereas applying \code{h} to
\code{15} produces \code{22}. The result of this program is \code{42}.

\begin{figure}[btp]
% s4_6.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
   (define (f [x : Integer]) : (Integer -> Integer)
      (let ([y 4])
         (lambda: ([z : Integer]) : Integer
            (+ x (+ y z)))))

   (let ([g (f 5)])
     (let ([h (f 3)])
       (+ (g 11) (h 15))))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{Example of a lexically scoped function.}
\label{fig:lexical-scoping}
\end{figure}


The approach that we take for implementing lexically scoped
functions is to compile them into top-level function definitions,
translating from \LangLam{} into \LangFun{}.  However, the compiler will need to
provide special treatment for variable occurrences such as \code{x}
and \code{y} in the body of the \code{lambda} of
Figure~\ref{fig:lexical-scoping}. After all, an \LangFun{} function may not
refer to variables defined outside of it. To identify such variable
occurrences, we review the standard notion of free variable.

\begin{definition}
A variable is \emph{free in expression} $e$ if the variable occurs
inside $e$ but does not have an enclosing binding in $e$.\index{subject}{free
  variable}
\end{definition}

For example, in the expression \code{(+ x (+ y z))} the variables
\code{x}, \code{y}, and \code{z} are all free.  On the other hand,
only \code{x} and \code{y} are free in the following expression
because \code{z} is bound by the \code{lambda}.
\begin{lstlisting}
   (lambda: ([z : Integer]) : Integer
      (+ x (+ y z)))
\end{lstlisting}

So the free variables of a \code{lambda} are the ones that will need
special treatment. We need to arrange for some way to transport, at
runtime, the values of those variables from the point where the
\code{lambda} was created to the point where the \code{lambda} is
applied. An efficient solution to the problem, due to
\citet{Cardelli:1983aa}, is to bundle into a vector the values of the
free variables together with the function pointer for the lambda's
code, an arrangement called a \emph{flat closure} (which we shorten to
just ``closure'').  \index{subject}{closure}\index{subject}{flat closure} Fortunately,
we have all the ingredients to make closures, Chapter~\ref{ch:Rvec}
gave us vectors and Chapter~\ref{ch:Rfun} gave us function
pointers. The function pointer resides at index $0$ and the
values for the free variables will fill in the rest of the vector.

Let us revisit the example in Figure~\ref{fig:lexical-scoping} to see
how closures work. It's a three-step dance. The program first calls
function \code{f}, which creates a closure for the \code{lambda}. The
closure is a vector whose first element is a pointer to the top-level
function that we will generate for the \code{lambda}, the second
element is the value of \code{x}, which is \code{5}, and the third
element is \code{4}, the value of \code{y}. The closure does not
contain an element for \code{z} because \code{z} is not a free
variable of the \code{lambda}. Creating the closure is step 1 of the
dance. The closure is returned from \code{f} and bound to \code{g}, as
shown in Figure~\ref{fig:closures}.
%
The second call to \code{f} creates another closure, this time with
\code{3} in the second slot (for \code{x}). This closure is also
returned from \code{f} but bound to \code{h}, which is also shown in
Figure~\ref{fig:closures}.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\centering \includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{figs/closures}
\caption{Example closure representation for the \key{lambda}'s
  in Figure~\ref{fig:lexical-scoping}.}
\label{fig:closures}
\end{figure}

Continuing with the example, consider the application of \code{g} to
\code{11} in Figure~\ref{fig:lexical-scoping}.  To apply a closure, we
obtain the function pointer in the first element of the closure and
call it, passing in the closure itself and then the regular arguments,
in this case \code{11}. This technique for applying a closure is step
2 of the dance.
%
But doesn't this \code{lambda} only take 1 argument, for parameter
\code{z}? The third and final step of the dance is generating a
top-level function for a \code{lambda}.  We add an additional
parameter for the closure and we insert a \code{let} at the beginning
of the function for each free variable, to bind those variables to the
appropriate elements from the closure parameter.
%
This three-step dance is known as \emph{closure conversion}.  We
discuss the details of closure conversion in
Section~\ref{sec:closure-conversion} and the code generated from the
example in Section~\ref{sec:example-lambda}. But first we define the
syntax and semantics of \LangLam{} in Section~\ref{sec:r5}.

\section{The \LangLam{} Language}
\label{sec:r5}

The concrete and abstract syntax for \LangLam{}, a language with anonymous
functions and lexical scoping, is defined in
Figures~\ref{fig:Rlam-concrete-syntax} and ~\ref{fig:Rlam-syntax}. It adds
the \key{lambda} form to the grammar for \LangFun{}, which already has
syntax for function application.

Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rlambda} shows the definitional interpreter for

inside the returned \key{lambda}. Then the case for \key{Apply} uses
the environment from the \key{lambda}, the \code{lam-env}, when
interpreting the body of the \key{lambda}.  The \code{lam-env}
environment is extended with the mapping of parameters to argument
values.

Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rlambda} shows how to type check the new
\key{lambda} form. The body of the \key{lambda} is checked in an
environment that includes the current environment (because it is
lexically scoped) and also includes the \key{lambda}'s parameters.  We
require the body's type to match the declared return type.

\section{Reveal Functions and the $F_2$ language}
\label{sec:reveal-functions-r5}


To support the \code{procedure-arity} operator we need to communicate
the arity of a function to the point of closure creation.  We can
accomplish this by replacing the $\FUNREF{\Var}$ struct with one that
has a second field for the arity: $\FUNREFARITY{\Var}{\Int}$.  The
output of this pass is the language $F_2$, whose syntax is defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:f2-syntax}.

\begin{figure}[tp]

\section{Closure Conversion}
\label{sec:closure-conversion}
\index{subject}{closure conversion}

The compiling of lexically-scoped functions into top-level function
definitions is accomplished in the pass \code{convert-to-closures}
that comes after \code{reveal-functions} and before
\code{limit-functions}. 

As usual, we implement the pass as a recursive function over the
AST. All of the action is in the cases for \key{Lambda} and
\key{Apply}. We transform a \key{Lambda} expression into an expression
that creates a closure, that is, a vector whose first element is a
function pointer and the rest of the elements are the free variables
of the \key{Lambda}. We use the struct \code{Closure} here instead of
using \code{vector} so that we can distinguish closures from vectors
in Section~\ref{sec:optimize-closures} and to record the arity.  In
the generated code below, the \itm{name} is a unique symbol generated
to identify the function and the \itm{arity} is the number of
parameters (the length of \itm{ps}).
\begin{lstlisting}
(Lambda |\itm{ps}| |\itm{rt}| |\itm{body}|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(Closure |\itm{arity}| (cons (FunRef |\itm{name}|) |\itm{fvs}|))
\end{lstlisting}
In addition to transforming each \key{Lambda} into a \key{Closure}, we
create a top-level function definition for each \key{Lambda}, as
shown below.\\
\begin{minipage}{0.8\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(Def |\itm{name}| ([clos : (Vector _ |\itm{fvts}| ...)] |\itm{ps'}| ...) |\itm{rt'}|
   (Let |$\itm{fvs}_1$| (Prim 'vector-ref (list (Var clos) (Int 1)))
     ...
     (Let |$\itm{fvs}_n$| (Prim 'vector-ref (list (Var clos) (Int |$n$|)))
       |\itm{body'}|)...))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}\\
The \code{clos} parameter refers to the closure.  Translate the type
annotations in \itm{ps} and the return type \itm{rt}, as discussed in
the next paragraph, to obtain \itm{ps'} and \itm{rt'}.  The types
$\itm{fvts}$ are the types of the free variables in the lambda and the
underscore \code{\_} is a dummy type that we use because it is rather
difficult to give a type to the function in the closure's
type.\footnote{To give an accurate type to a closure, we would need to
  add existential types to the type checker~\citep{Minamide:1996ys}.}
The dummy type is considered to be equal to any other type during type
checking.  The sequence of \key{Let} forms bind the free variables to
their values obtained from the closure.

Closure conversion turns functions into vectors, so the type
annotations in the program must also be translated.  We recommend
defining a auxiliary recursive function for this purpose.  Function
types should be translated as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
(|$T_1, \ldots, T_n$| -> |$T_r$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|  
(Vector ((Vector _) |$T'_1, \ldots, T'_n$| -> |$T'_r$|))
\end{lstlisting}
The above type says that the first thing in the vector is a function
pointer. The first parameter of the function pointer is a vector (a
closure) and the rest of the parameters are the ones from the original
function, with types $T'_1, \ldots, T'_n$.  The \code{Vector} type for
the closure omits the types of the free variables because 1) those
types are not available in this context and 2) we do not need them in
the code that is generated for function application.

We transform function application into code that retrieves the
function pointer from the closure and then calls the function, passing
in the closure as the first argument. We bind $e'$ to a temporary
variable to avoid code duplication.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Apply |$e$| |\itm{es}|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(Let |\itm{tmp}| |$e'$|
  (Apply (Prim 'vector-ref (list (Var |\itm{tmp}|) (Int 0))) (cons |\itm{tmp}| |\itm{es'}|)))
\end{lstlisting}

There is also the question of what to do with references top-level
function definitions. To maintain a uniform translation of function
application, we turn function references into closures.

\begin{tabular}{lll}
\begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(FunRefArity |$f$| |$n$|)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
&
$\Rightarrow$
&
\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(Closure |$n$| (FunRef |$f$|) '())
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{tabular}  \\
%
The top-level function definitions need to be updated as well to take
an extra closure parameter.

\section{An Example Translation}
\label{sec:example-lambda}

Figure~\ref{fig:lexical-functions-example} shows the result of
\code{reveal-functions} and \code{convert-to-closures} for the example
program demonstrating lexical scoping that we discussed at the
beginning of this chapter.

                       ((vector-ref clos6 0) clos6 3))])
         (+ ((vector-ref g0 0) g0 11) ((vector-ref h1 0) h1 15)))))
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Expose Allocation}
\label{sec:expose-allocation-r5}

Compile the $\CLOSURE{\itm{arity}}{\LP\Exp\ldots\RP}$ form into code
that allocates and initializes a vector, similar to the translation of
the \code{vector} operator in Section~\ref{sec:expose-allocation}.
The only difference is replacing the use of
\ALLOC{\itm{len}}{\itm{type}} with
\ALLOCCLOS{\itm{len}}{\itm{type}}{\itm{arity}}.


\section{Explicate Control and \LangCLam{}}
\label{sec:explicate-r5}

The output language of \code{explicate-control} is \LangCLam{} whose
abstract syntax is defined in Figure~\ref{fig:c4-syntax}.  The only
difference with respect to \LangCFun{} is the addition of the
\code{AllocateClosure} form to the grammar for $\Exp$.  The handling
of \code{AllocateClosure} in the \code{explicate-control} pass is
similar to the handling of other expressions such as primitive
operators.

\section{Select Instructions}
\label{sec:select-instructions-Rlambda}

Compile \ALLOCCLOS{\itm{len}}{\itm{type}}{\itm{arity}} in almost the
same way as the \ALLOC{\itm{len}}{\itm{type}} form
(Section~\ref{sec:select-instructions-gc}). The only difference is
that you should place the \itm{arity} in the tag that is stored at
position $0$ of the vector. Recall that in
Section~\ref{sec:select-instructions-gc} a portion of the 64-bit tag
was not used. We store the arity in the $5$ bits starting at position
$58$.

Compile the \code{procedure-arity} operator into a sequence of
instructions that access the tag from position $0$ of the vector and
extract the $5$-bits starting at position $58$ from the tag.

\section{Challenge: Optimize Closures}
\label{sec:optimize-closures}

In this chapter we compiled lexically-scoped functions into a
relatively efficient representation: flat closures. However, even this
representation comes with some overhead. For example, consider the
following program with a function \code{tail-sum} that does not have
any free variables and where all the uses of \code{tail-sum} are in
applications where we know that only \code{tail-sum} is being applied
(and not any other functions).
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.95\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (tail-sum [n : Integer] [r : Integer]) : Integer
  (if (eq? n 0)
      r
      (tail-sum (- n 1) (+ n r))))

(+ (tail-sum 5 0) 27)
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
As described in this chapter, we uniformly apply closure conversion to
all functions, obtaining the following output for this program.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.95\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (tail_sum1 [fvs5 : _] [n2 : Integer] [r3 : Integer]) : Integer
   (if (eq? n2 0)
      r3
      (let ([clos4 (closure (list (fun-ref tail_sum1)))])
         ((vector-ref clos4 0) clos4 (+ n2 -1) (+ n2 r3)))))

(define (main) : Integer
   (+ (let ([clos6 (closure (list (fun-ref tail_sum1)))])
         ((vector-ref clos6 0) clos6 5 0)) 27))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

In the previous Chapter, there would be no allocation in the program
and the calls to \code{tail-sum} would be direct calls. In contrast,
the above program allocates memory for each \code{closure} and the
calls to \code{tail-sum} are indirect. These two differences incur
considerable overhead in a program such as this one, where the
allocations and indirect calls occur inside a tight loop.

One might think that this problem is trivial to solve: can't we just
recognize calls of the form \code{((fun-ref $f$) $e_1 \ldots e_n$)}
and compile them to direct calls \code{((fun-ref $f$) $e'_1 \ldots
  e'_n$)} instead of treating it like a call to a closure? We would
also drop the \code{fvs5} parameter of \code{tail\_sum1}.
%
However, this problem is not so trivial because a global function may
``escape'' and become involved in applications that also involve
closures. Consider the following example in which the application
\code{(f 41)} needs to be compiled into a closure application, because
the \code{lambda} may get bound to \code{f}, but the \code{add1}
function might also get bound to \code{f}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (add1 [x : Integer]) : Integer
  (+ x 1))

(let ([y (read)])
  (let ([f (if (eq? (read) 0)
               add1
               (lambda: ([x : Integer]) : Integer (- x y)))])
    (f 41)))
\end{lstlisting}
If a global function name is used in any way other than as the
operator in a direct call, then we say that the function
\emph{escapes}. If a global function does not escape, then we do not
need to perform closure conversion on the function.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
  Implement an auxiliary function for detecting which global
  functions escape. Using that function, implement an improved version
  of closure conversion that does not apply closure conversion to
  global functions that do not escape but instead compiles them as
  regular functions. Create several new test cases that check whether
  you properly detect whether global functions escape or not.
\end{exercise}

So far we have reduced the overhead of calling global functions, but
it would also be nice to reduce the overhead of calling a
\code{lambda} when we can determine at compile time which
\code{lambda} will be called. We refer to such calls as \emph{known
  calls}.  Consider the following example in which a \code{lambda} is
bound to \code{f} and then applied.
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([y (read)])
  (let ([f (lambda: ([x : Integer]) : Integer
             (+ x y))])
    (f 21)))
\end{lstlisting}
Closure conversion compiles \code{(f 21)} into an indirect call:
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (lambda5 [fvs6 : (Vector _ Integer)] [x3 : Integer]) : Integer
   (let ([y2 (vector-ref fvs6 1)])
      (+ x3 y2)))

(define (main) : Integer
   (let ([y2 (read)])
      (let ([f4 (Closure 1 (list (fun-ref lambda5) y2))])
         ((vector-ref f4 0) f4 21))))
\end{lstlisting}
but we can instead compile the application \code{(f 21)} into a direct call
to \code{lambda5}:
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (main) : Integer
   (let ([y2 (read)])
      (let ([f4 (Closure 1 (list (fun-ref lambda5) y2))])
         ((fun-ref lambda5) f4 21))))
\end{lstlisting}

The problem of determining which lambda will be called from a
particular application is quite challenging in general and the topic
of considerable research~\citep{Shivers:1988aa,Gilray:2016aa}. For the
following exercise we recommend that you compile an application to a
direct call when the operator is a variable and the variable is
\code{let}-bound to a closure. This can be accomplished by maintaining
an environment mapping \code{let}-bound variables to function names.
Extend the environment whenever you encounter a closure on the
right-hand side of a \code{let}, mapping the \code{let}-bound variable
to the name of the global function for the closure.  This pass should
come after closure conversion.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Implement a compiler pass, named \code{optimize-known-calls}, that
compiles known calls into direct calls. Verify that your compiler is
successful in this regard on several example programs.
\end{exercise}

These exercises only scratches the surface of optimizing of
closures. A good next step for the interested reader is to look at the
work of \citet{Keep:2012ab}.

\section{Further Reading}

The notion of lexically scoped anonymous functions predates modern
computers by about a decade. They were invented by
\citet{Church:1932aa}, who proposed the $\lambda$ calculus as a
foundation for logic. Anonymous functions were included in the
LISP~\citep{McCarthy:1960dz} programming language but were initially
dynamically scoped. The Scheme dialect of LISP adopted lexical scoping
and \citet{Guy-L.-Steele:1978yq} demonstrated how to efficiently
compile Scheme programs. However, environments were represented as
linked lists, so variable lookup was linear in the size of the
environment. In this chapter we represent environments using flat
closures, which were invented by
\citet{Cardelli:1983aa,Cardelli:1984aa} for the purposes of compiling
the ML language~\citep{Gordon:1978aa,Milner:1990fk}. With flat
closures, variable lookup is constant time but the time to create a
closure is proportional to the number of its free variables.  Flat
closures were reinvented by \citet{Dybvig:1987ab} in his Ph.D. thesis
and used in Chez Scheme version 1~\citep{Dybvig:2006aa}.

\chapter{Dynamic Typing}
\label{ch:Rdyn}
\index{subject}{dynamic typing}

In this chapter we discuss the compilation of \LangDyn{}, a dynamically
typed language that is a subset of Racket. This is in contrast to the
previous chapters, which have studied the compilation of Typed
Racket. In dynamically typed languages such as \LangDyn{}, a given
expression may produce a value of a different type each time it is
executed. Consider the following example with a conditional \code{if}
expression that may return a Boolean or an integer depending on the
input to the program.
% part of  dynamic_test_25.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
   (not (if (eq? (read) 1) #f 0))
\end{lstlisting}
Languages that allow expressions to produce different kinds of values
are called \emph{polymorphic}, a word composed of the Greek roots
``poly'', meaning ``many'', and ``morph'', meaning ``shape''.  There
are several kinds of polymorphism in programming languages, such as
subtype polymorphism and parametric
polymorphism~\citep{Cardelli:1985kx}. The kind of polymorphism we
study in this chapter does not have a special name but it is the kind
that arises in dynamically typed languages.

Another characteristic of dynamically typed languages is that
primitive operations, such as \code{not}, are often defined to operate
on many different types of values. In fact, in Racket, the \code{not}
operator produces a result for any kind of value: given \code{\#f} it
returns \code{\#t} and given anything else it returns \code{\#f}.
Furthermore, even when primitive operations restrict their inputs to
values of a certain type, this restriction is enforced at runtime
instead of during compilation. For example, the following vector
reference results in a run-time contract violation because the index
must be in integer, not a Boolean such as \code{\#t}.
\begin{lstlisting}
   (vector-ref (vector 42) #t)
\end{lstlisting}

\end{figure}


The concrete and abstract syntax of \LangDyn{}, our subset of Racket, is
defined in Figures~\ref{fig:r7-concrete-syntax} and
\ref{fig:r7-syntax}.
%
There is no type checker for \LangDyn{} because it is not a statically
typed language (it's dynamically typed!).

The definitional interpreter for \LangDyn{} is presented in
Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rdyn} and its auxiliary functions are defined i
Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rdyn-aux}. Consider the match case for
\code{(Int n)}.  Instead of simply returning the integer \code{n} (as
in the interpreter for \LangVar{} in Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rvar}), the
interpreter for \LangDyn{} creates a \emph{tagged value}\index{subject}{tagged
  value} that combines an underlying value with a tag that identifies
what kind of value it is. We define the following struct
to represented tagged values.
\begin{lstlisting}
(struct Tagged (value tag) #:transparent)
\end{lstlisting}
The tags are \code{Integer}, \code{Boolean}, \code{Void},
\code{Vector}, and \code{Procedure}. Tags are closely related to types
but don't always capture all the information that a type does. For
example, a vector of type \code{(Vector Any Any)} is tagged with
\code{Vector} and a procedure of type \code{(Any Any -> Any)}
is tagged with \code{Procedure}.

Next consider the match case for \code{vector-ref}.  The
\code{check-tag} auxiliary function (Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rdyn-aux})
is used to ensure that the first argument is a vector and the second
is an integer. If they are not, a \code{trapped-error} is raised.
Recall from Section~\ref{sec:interp-Rint} that when a definition
interpreter raises a \code{trapped-error} error, the compiled code
must also signal an error by exiting with return code \code{255}.  A
\code{trapped-error} is also raised if the index is not less than
length of the vector.

\section{Representation of Tagged Values}

The interpreter for \LangDyn{} introduced a new kind of value, a tagged
value. To compile \LangDyn{} to x86 we must decide how to represent tagged
values at the bit level. Because almost every operation in \LangDyn{}
involves manipulating tagged values, the representation must be
efficient. Recall that all of our values are 64 bits.  We shall steal
the 3 right-most bits to encode the tag.  We use $001$ to identify
integers, $100$ for Booleans, $010$ for vectors, $011$ for procedures,
and $101$ for the void value. We define the following auxiliary
function for mapping types to tag codes.
\begin{align*}
\itm{tagof}(\key{Integer}) &= 001 \\
\itm{tagof}(\key{Boolean}) &= 100 \\
\itm{tagof}((\key{Vector} \ldots)) &= 010 \\
\itm{tagof}((\ldots \key{->} \ldots)) &= 011 \\
\itm{tagof}(\key{Void}) &= 101
\end{align*}
This stealing of 3 bits comes at some price: our integers are reduced
to ranging from $-2^{60}$ to $2^{60}$. The stealing does not adversely
affect vectors and procedures because those values are addresses, and
our addresses are 8-byte aligned so the rightmost 3 bits are unused,
they are always $000$. Thus, we do not lose information by overwriting
the rightmost 3 bits with the tag and we can simply zero-out the tag
to recover the original address.

To make tagged values into first-class entities, we can give them a
type, called \code{Any}, and define operations such as \code{Inject}
and \code{Project} for creating and using them, yielding the \LangAny{}
intermediate language. We describe how to compile \LangDyn{} to \LangAny{} in
Section~\ref{sec:compile-r7} but first we describe the \LangAny{} language
in greater detail.

\caption{The abstract syntax of \LangAny{}, extending \LangLam{} (Figure~\ref{fig:Rlam-syntax}).}
\label{fig:Rany-syntax}
\end{figure}


The abstract syntax of \LangAny{} is defined in Figure~\ref{fig:Rany-syntax}.
(The concrete syntax of \LangAny{} is in the Appendix,
Figure~\ref{fig:Rany-concrete-syntax}.)  The $\INJECT{e}{T}$ form
converts the value produced by expression $e$ of type $T$ into a
tagged value.  The $\PROJECT{e}{T}$ form converts the tagged value
produced by expression $e$ into a value of type $T$ or else halts the
program if the type tag is not equivalent to $T$.
%
Note that in both \code{Inject} and \code{Project}, the type $T$ is
restricted to a flat type $\FType$, which simplifies the
implementation and corresponds with what is needed for compiling \LangDyn{}.

The \code{any-vector} operators adapt the vector operations so that
they can be applied to a value of type \code{Any}.  They also
generalize the vector operations in that the index is not restricted
to be a literal integer in the grammar but is allowed to be any
expression.

The type predicates such as \key{boolean?} expect their argument to
produce a tagged value; they return \key{\#t} if the tag corresponds
to the predicate and they return \key{\#f} otherwise.

The type checker for \LangAny{} is shown in
Figures~\ref{fig:type-check-Rany-part-1} and
\ref{fig:type-check-Rany-part-2} and uses the auxiliary functions in
Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rany-aux}.
%
The interpreter for \LangAny{} is in Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rany} and the
auxiliary functions \code{apply-inject} and \code{apply-project} are
in Figure~\ref{fig:apply-project}.

\section{Cast Insertion: Compiling \LangDyn{} to \LangAny{}}
\label{sec:compile-r7}

The \code{cast-insert} pass compiles from \LangDyn{} to \LangAny{}.
Figure~\ref{fig:compile-r7-Rany} shows the compilation of many of the
\LangDyn{} forms into \LangAny{}. An important invariant of this pass is that
given a subexpression $e$ in the \LangDyn{} program, the pass will produce
an expression $e'$ in \LangAny{} that has type \key{Any}. For example, the
first row in Figure~\ref{fig:compile-r7-Rany} shows the compilation of
the Boolean \code{\#t}, which must be injected to produce an
expression of type \key{Any}.
%
The second row of Figure~\ref{fig:compile-r7-Rany}, the compilation of
addition, is representative of compilation for many primitive
operations: the arguments have type \key{Any} and must be projected to
\key{Integer} before the addition can be performed.

The compilation of \key{lambda} (third row of
Figure~\ref{fig:compile-r7-Rany}) shows what happens when we need to
produce type annotations: we simply use \key{Any}.
%
The compilation of \code{if} and \code{eq?}  demonstrate how this pass
has to account for some differences in behavior between \LangDyn{} and
\LangAny{}. The \LangDyn{} language is more permissive than \LangAny{} regarding what
kind of values can be used in various places. For example, the
condition of an \key{if} does not have to be a Boolean. For \key{eq?},
the arguments need not be of the same type (in that case the
result is \code{\#f}).

\section{Reveal Casts}
\label{sec:reveal-casts-Rany}

% TODO: define R'_6

In the \code{reveal-casts} pass we recommend compiling \code{project}
into an \code{if} expression that checks whether the value's tag
matches the target type; if it does, the value is converted to a value
of the target type by removing the tag; if it does not, the program
exits.  To perform these actions we need a new primitive operation,
\code{tag-of-any}, and two new forms, \code{ValueOf} and \code{Exit}.
The \code{tag-of-any} operation retrieves the type tag from a tagged
value of type \code{Any}.  The \code{ValueOf} form retrieves the
underlying value from a tagged value.  The \code{ValueOf} form
includes the type for the underlying value which is used by the type
checker.  Finally, the \code{Exit} form ends the execution of the
program.

If the target type of the projection is \code{Boolean} or
\code{Integer}, then \code{Project} can be translated as follows.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{1.0\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(Project |$e$| |$\FType$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(Let |$\itm{tmp}$| |$e'$|
   (If (Prim 'eq? (list (Prim 'tag-of-any (list (Var |$\itm{tmp}$|)))
                           (Int |$\itm{tagof}(\FType)$|)))
      (ValueOf |$\itm{tmp}$| |$\FType$|)
      (Exit)))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
If the target type of the projection is a vector or function type,
then there is a bit more work to do. For vectors, check that the
length of the vector type matches the length of the vector (using the
\code{vector-length} primitive). For functions, check that the number
of parameters in the function type matches the function's arity (using
\code{procedure-arity}).

Regarding \code{inject}, we recommend compiling it to a slightly
lower-level primitive operation named \code{make-any}. This operation
takes a tag instead of a type.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{1.0\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(Inject |$e$| |$\FType$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(Prim 'make-any (list |$e'$| (Int |$\itm{tagof}(\FType)$|)))
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

The type predicates (\code{boolean?}, etc.) can be translated into
uses of \code{tag-of-any} and \code{eq?} in a similar way as in the
translation of \code{Project}.

The \code{any-vector-ref} and \code{any-vector-set!} operations
combine the projection action with the vector operation.  Also, the
read and write operations allow arbitrary expressions for the index so
the type checker for \LangAny{} (Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rany-part-1})
cannot guarantee that the index is within bounds. Thus, we insert code
to perform bounds checking at runtime. The translation for
\code{any-vector-ref} is as follows and the other two operations are
translated in a similar way.

\begin{lstlisting}
(Prim 'any-vector-ref (list |$e_1$| |$e_2$|))
|$\Rightarrow$|
(Let |$v$| |$e'_1$|
  (Let |$i$| |$e'_2$|
    (If (Prim 'eq? (list (Prim 'tag-of-any (list (Var |$v$|))) (Int 2)))
      (If (Prim '< (list (Var |$i$|)
            (Prim 'any-vector-length (list (Var |$v$|)))))
        (Prim 'any-vector-ref (list (Var |$v$|) (Var |$i$|)))
        (Exit))))
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Remove Complex Operands}
\label{sec:rco-Rany}

The \code{ValueOf} and \code{Exit} forms are both complex expressions.
The subexpression of \code{ValueOf} must be atomic.

\section{Explicate Control and \LangCAny{}}
\label{sec:explicate-Rany}

The output of \code{explicate-control} is the \LangCAny{} language whose
syntax is defined in Figure~\ref{fig:c5-syntax}. The \code{ValueOf}
form that we added to \LangAny{} remains an expression and the \code{Exit}
expression becomes a $\Tail$. Also, note that the index argument of
\code{vector-ref} and \code{vector-set!} is an $\Atm$ instead
of an integer, as in \LangCVec{} (Figure~\ref{fig:c2-syntax}).

\section{Select Instructions}
\label{sec:select-Rany}

In the \code{select-instructions} pass we translate the primitive
operations on the \code{Any} type to x86 instructions that involve
manipulating the 3 tag bits of the tagged value.

\paragraph{Make-any}

We recommend compiling the \key{make-any} primitive as follows if the
tag is for \key{Integer} or \key{Boolean}.  The \key{salq} instruction
shifts the destination to the left by the number of bits specified its
source argument (in this case $3$, the length of the tag) and it
preserves the sign of the integer. We use the \key{orq} instruction to
combine the tag and the value to form the tagged value.  \\
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |\itm{lhs}| (Prim 'make-any (list |$e$| (Int |$\itm{tag}$|))))
|$\Rightarrow$|
movq |$e'$|, |\itm{lhs'}|
salq $3, |\itm{lhs'}|
orq $|$\itm{tag}$|, |\itm{lhs'}|
\end{lstlisting}
The instruction selection for vectors and procedures is different
because their is no need to shift them to the left. The rightmost 3
bits are already zeros as described at the beginning of this
chapter. So we just combine the value and the tag using \key{orq}.  \\
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |\itm{lhs}| (Prim 'make-any (list |$e$| (Int |$\itm{tag}$|))))
|$\Rightarrow$|
movq |$e'$|, |\itm{lhs'}|
orq $|$\itm{tag}$|, |\itm{lhs'}|
\end{lstlisting}

\paragraph{Tag-of-any}

Recall that the \code{tag-of-any} operation extracts the type tag from
a value of type \code{Any}. The type tag is the bottom three bits, so
we obtain the tag by taking the bitwise-and of the value with $111$
($7$ in decimal).
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |\itm{lhs}| (Prim 'tag-of-any (list |$e$|)))
|$\Rightarrow$|
movq |$e'$|, |\itm{lhs'}|
andq $7, |\itm{lhs'}|
\end{lstlisting}

\paragraph{ValueOf}

Like \key{make-any}, the instructions for \key{ValueOf} are different
depending on whether the type $T$ is a pointer (vector or procedure)
or not (Integer or Boolean). The following shows the instruction
selection for Integer and Boolean.  We produce an untagged value by
shifting it to the right by 3 bits.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |\itm{lhs}| (ValueOf |$e$| |$T$|))
|$\Rightarrow$|
movq |$e'$|, |\itm{lhs'}|
sarq $3, |\itm{lhs'}|
\end{lstlisting}
%
In the case for vectors and procedures, there is no need to
shift. Instead we just need to zero-out the rightmost 3 bits. We
accomplish this by creating the bit pattern $\ldots 0111$ ($7$ in
decimal) and apply \code{bitwise-not} to obtain $\ldots 11111000$ (-8
in decimal) which we \code{movq} into the destination $\itm{lhs}$.  We
then apply \code{andq} with the tagged value to get the desired
result. \\
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |\itm{lhs}| (ValueOf |$e$| |$T$|))
|$\Rightarrow$|
movq $|$-8$|, |\itm{lhs'}|
andq |$e'$|, |\itm{lhs'}|
\end{lstlisting}

%% \paragraph{Type Predicates} We leave it to the reader to
%% devise a sequence of instructions to implement the type predicates
%% \key{boolean?}, \key{integer?}, \key{vector?}, and \key{procedure?}.

\paragraph{Any-vector-length}

\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |$\itm{lhs}$| (Prim 'any-vector-length (list |$a_1$|)))
|$\Longrightarrow$|
movq |$\neg 111$|, %r11
andq |$a_1'$|,  %r11
movq 0(%r11), %r11
andq $126, %r11
sarq $1, %r11
movq %r11, |$\itm{lhs'}$|
\end{lstlisting}

\paragraph{Any-vector-ref}

The index may be an arbitrary atom so instead of computing the offset
at compile time, instructions need to be generated to compute the
offset at runtime as follows. Note the use of the new instruction
\code{imulq}.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |$\itm{lhs}$| (Prim 'any-vector-ref (list |$a_1$| |$a_2$|)))
|$\Longrightarrow$|
movq |$\neg 111$|, %r11
andq |$a_1'$|, %r11
movq |$a_2'$|, %rax
addq $1, %rax
imulq $8, %rax
addq %rax, %r11
movq 0(%r11) |$\itm{lhs'}$|
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

\paragraph{Any-vector-set!}

The code generation for \code{any-vector-set!} is similar to the other
\code{any-vector} operations.

\section{Register Allocation for \LangAny{}}
\label{sec:register-allocation-Rany}
\index{subject}{register allocation}

There is an interesting interaction between tagged values and garbage
collection that has an impact on register allocation.  A variable of
type \code{Any} might refer to a vector and therefore it might be a
root that needs to be inspected and copied during garbage
collection. Thus, we need to treat variables of type \code{Any} in a
similar way to variables of type \code{Vector} for purposes of
register allocation.  In particular,
\begin{itemize}
\item If a variable of type \code{Any} is live during a function call,
  then it must be spilled. This can be accomplished by changing
  \code{build-interference} to mark all variables of type \code{Any}
  that are live after a \code{callq} as interfering with all the
  registers.

\item If a variable of type \code{Any} is spilled, it must be spilled
  to the root stack instead of the normal procedure call stack.
\end{itemize}

Another concern regarding the root stack is that the garbage collector
needs to differentiate between (1) plain old pointers to tuples, (2) a
tagged value that points to a tuple, and (3) a tagged value that is
not a tuple. We enable this differentiation by choosing not to use the
tag $000$ in the $\itm{tagof}$ function. Instead, that bit pattern is
reserved for identifying plain old pointers to tuples. That way, if
one of the first three bits is set, then we have a tagged value and
inspecting the tag can differentiation between vectors ($010$) and the
other kinds of values.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Expand your compiler to handle \LangAny{} as discussed in the last few
sections.  Create 5 new programs that use the \code{Any} type and the
new operations (\code{inject}, \code{project}, \code{boolean?},
etc.). Test your compiler on these new programs and all of your
previously created test programs.
\end{exercise}


\begin{exercise}\normalfont
Expand your compiler to handle \LangDyn{} as outlined in this chapter.
Create tests for \LangDyn{} by adapting ten of your previous test programs
by removing type annotations. Add 5 more tests programs that
specifically rely on the language being dynamically typed. That is,
they should not be legal programs in a statically typed language, but
nevertheless, they should be valid \LangDyn{} programs that run to
completion without error.
\end{exercise}

\chapter{Loops and Assignment}
\label{ch:Rwhile}

% TODO: define R'_8

% TODO: multi-graph


In this chapter we study two features that are the hallmarks of
imperative programming languages: loops and assignments to local
variables. The following example demonstrates these new features by
computing the sum of the first five positive integers.
% similar to loop_test_1.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([sum 0])
  (let ([i 5])
    (begin
      (while (> i 0)
        (begin
          (set! sum (+ sum i))
          (set! i (- i 1))))
      sum)))
\end{lstlisting}
The \code{while} loop consists of a condition and a body.  
%
The \code{set!} consists of a variable and a right-hand-side expression.
%
The primary purpose of both the \code{while} loop and \code{set!}  is
to cause side effects, so it is convenient to also include in a
language feature for sequencing side effects: the \code{begin}
expression. It consists of one or more subexpressions that are
evaluated left-to-right.

\end{figure}

The concrete syntax of \LangLoop{} is defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:Rwhile-concrete-syntax} and its abstract syntax is defined
in Figure~\ref{fig:Rwhile-syntax}.
%
The definitional interpreter for \LangLoop{} is shown in
Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rwhile}. We add three new cases for \code{SetBang},
\code{WhileLoop}, and \code{Begin} and we make changes to the cases
for \code{Var}, \code{Let}, and \code{Apply} regarding variables. To
support assignment to variables and to make their lifetimes indefinite
(see the second example in Section~\ref{sec:assignment-scoping}), we
box the value that is bound to each variable (in \code{Let}) and
function parameter (in \code{Apply}). The case for \code{Var} unboxes
the value.
%
Now to discuss the new cases. For \code{SetBang}, we lookup the
variable in the environment to obtain a boxed value and then we change
it using \code{set-box!} to the result of evaluating the right-hand
side.  The result value of a \code{SetBang} is \code{void}.
%
For the \code{WhileLoop}, we repeatedly 1) evaluate the condition, and
if the result is true, 2) evaluate the body.
The result value of a \code{while} loop is also \code{void}.
%
Finally, the $\BEGIN{\itm{es}}{\itm{body}}$ expression evaluates the
subexpressions \itm{es} for their effects and then evaluates
and returns the result from \itm{body}.

At first glance, the translation of these language features to x86
seems straightforward because the \LangCFun{} intermediate language already
supports all of the ingredients that we need: assignment, \code{goto},
conditional branching, and sequencing. However, there are two
complications that arise which we discuss in the next two
sections. After that we introduce one new compiler pass and the
changes necessary to the existing passes.

\section{Assignment and Lexically Scoped Functions}
\label{sec:assignment-scoping}

The addition of assignment raises a problem with our approach to
implementing lexically-scoped functions. Consider the following
example in which function \code{f} has a free variable \code{x} that
is changed after \code{f} is created but before the call to \code{f}.
% loop_test_11.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x 0])
  (let ([y 0])
    (let ([z 20])
      (let ([f (lambda: ([a : Integer]) : Integer (+ a (+ x z)))])
        (begin
          (set! x 10)
          (set! y 12)
          (f y))))))
\end{lstlisting}
The correct output for this example is \code{42} because the call to
\code{f} is required to use the current value of \code{x} (which is
\code{10}). Unfortunately, the closure conversion pass
(Section~\ref{sec:closure-conversion}) generates code for the
\code{lambda} that copies the old value of \code{x} into a
closure. Thus, if we naively add support for assignment to our current
compiler, the output of this program would be \code{32}.

A first attempt at solving this problem would be to save a pointer to
\code{x} in the closure and change the occurrences of \code{x} inside
the lambda to dereference the pointer. Of course, this would require
assigning \code{x} to the stack and not to a register. However, the
problem goes a bit deeper. Consider the following example in which we
create a counter abstraction by creating a pair of functions that
share the free variable \code{x}.
% similar to loop_test_10.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (f [x : Integer]) : (Vector ( -> Integer) ( -> Void))
  (vector
   (lambda: () : Integer x)
   (lambda: () : Void (set! x (+ 1 x)))))

(let ([counter (f 0)])
  (let ([get (vector-ref counter 0)])
    (let ([inc (vector-ref counter 1)])
      (begin
        (inc)
        (get)))))
\end{lstlisting}
In this example, the lifetime of \code{x} extends beyond the lifetime
of the call to \code{f}. Thus, if we were to store \code{x} on the
stack frame for the call to \code{f}, it would be gone by the time we
call \code{inc} and \code{get}, leaving us with dangling pointers for
\code{x}. This example demonstrates that when a variable occurs free
inside a \code{lambda}, its lifetime becomes indefinite. Thus, the
value of the variable needs to live on the heap.  The verb ``box'' is
often used for allocating a single value on the heap, producing a
pointer, and ``unbox'' for dereferencing the pointer.

We recommend solving these problems by ``boxing'' the local variables
that are in the intersection of 1) variables that appear on the
left-hand-side of a \code{set!} and 2) variables that occur free
inside a \code{lambda}. We shall introduce a new pass named
\code{convert-assignments} in Section~\ref{sec:convert-assignments} to
perform this translation. But before diving into the compiler passes,
we one more problem to discuss.

\section{Cyclic Control Flow and Dataflow Analysis}
\label{sec:dataflow-analysis}

Up until this point the control-flow graphs generated in
\code{explicate-control} were guaranteed to be acyclic. However, each
\code{while} loop introduces a cycle in the control-flow graph.
But does that matter?
%
Indeed it does.  Recall that for register allocation, the compiler
performs liveness analysis to determine which variables can share the
same register.  In Section~\ref{sec:liveness-analysis-Rif} we analyze
the control-flow graph in reverse topological order, but topological
order is only well-defined for acyclic graphs.

Let us return to the example of computing the sum of the first five
positive integers. Here is the program after instruction selection but
before register allocation.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (main) : Integer
   mainstart:
      movq $0, sum1
      movq $5, i2
      jmp block5
   block5:
      movq i2, tmp3
      cmpq tmp3, $0
      jl block7
      jmp block8
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
  \begin{lstlisting}

    
block7:
      addq i2, sum1
      movq $1, tmp4
      negq tmp4
      addq tmp4, i2
      jmp block5
   block8:
      movq $27, %rax
      addq sum1, %rax
      jmp mainconclusion
)
\end{lstlisting}
  \end{minipage}
\end{center}
Recall that liveness analysis works backwards, starting at the end
of each function. For this example we could start with \code{block8}
because we know what is live at the beginning of the conclusion,
just \code{rax} and \code{rsp}. So the live-before set
for \code{block8} is $\{\ttm{rsp},\ttm{sum1}\}$.
%
Next we might try to analyze \code{block5} or \code{block7}, but
\code{block5} jumps to \code{block7} and vice versa, so it seems that
we are stuck.

The way out of this impasse comes from the realization that one can
perform liveness analysis starting with an empty live-after set to
compute an under-approximation of the live-before set.  By
\emph{under-approximation}, we mean that the set only contains
variables that are really live, but it may be missing some.  Next, the
under-approximations for each block can be improved by 1) updating the
live-after set for each block using the approximate live-before sets
from the other blocks and 2) perform liveness analysis again on each
block.  In fact, by iterating this process, the under-approximations
eventually become the correct solutions!
%
This approach of iteratively analyzing a control-flow graph is
applicable to many static analysis problems and goes by the name
\emph{dataflow analysis}\index{subject}{dataflow analysis}.  It was invented by
\citet{Kildall:1973vn} in his Ph.D. thesis at the University of
Washington.

Let us apply this approach to the above example. We use the empty set
for the initial live-before set for each block. Let $m_0$ be the
following mapping from label names to sets of locations (variables and
registers).
\begin{center}
\begin{lstlisting}
mainstart: {}
block5: {}
block7: {}
block8: {}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{center}
Using the above live-before approximations, we determine the
live-after for each block and then apply liveness analysis to each
block.  This produces our next approximation $m_1$ of the live-before
sets.
\begin{center}
  \begin{lstlisting}
mainstart: {}
block5: {i2}
block7: {i2, sum1}
block8: {rsp, sum1}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{center}

For the second round, the live-after for \code{mainstart} is the
current live-before for \code{block5}, which is \code{\{i2\}}.  So the
liveness analysis for \code{mainstart} computes the empty set. The
live-after for \code{block5} is the union of the live-before sets for
\code{block7} and \code{block8}, which is \code{\{i2 , rsp, sum1\}}.
So the liveness analysis for \code{block5} computes \code{\{i2 , rsp,
  sum1\}}.  The live-after for \code{block7} is the live-before for
\code{block5} (from the previous iteration), which is \code{\{i2\}}.
So the liveness analysis for \code{block7} remains \code{\{i2,
  sum1\}}.  Together these yield the following approximation $m_2$ of
the live-before sets.
\begin{center}
  \begin{lstlisting}
mainstart: {}
block5: {i2, rsp, sum1}
block7: {i2, sum1}
block8: {rsp, sum1}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{center}
In the preceding iteration, only \code{block5} changed, so we can
limit our attention to \code{mainstart} and \code{block7}, the two
blocks that jump to \code{block5}.  As a result, the live-before sets
for \code{mainstart} and \code{block7} are updated to include
\code{rsp}, yielding the following approximation $m_3$.
\begin{center}
  \begin{lstlisting}
mainstart: {rsp}
block5: {i2, rsp, sum1}
block7: {i2, rsp, sum1}
block8: {rsp, sum1}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{center}
Because \code{block7} changed, we analyze \code{block5} once more, but
its live-before set remains \code{\{ i2, rsp, sum1 \}}.  At this point
our approximations have converged, so $m_3$ is the solution.

This iteration process is guaranteed to converge to a solution by the
Kleene Fixed-Point Theorem, a general theorem about functions on
lattices~\citep{Kleene:1952aa}. Roughly speaking, a \emph{lattice} is
any collection that comes with a partial ordering $\sqsubseteq$ on its
elements, a least element $\bot$ (pronounced bottom), and a join
operator $\sqcup$.\index{subject}{lattice}\index{subject}{bottom}\index{subject}{partial
  ordering}\index{subject}{join}\footnote{Technically speaking, we will be
  working with join semi-lattices.} When two elements are ordered $m_i
\sqsubseteq m_j$, it means that $m_j$ contains at least as much
information as $m_i$, so we can think of $m_j$ as a better-or-equal
approximation than $m_i$.  The bottom element $\bot$ represents the
complete lack of information, i.e., the worst approximation.  The join
operator takes two lattice elements and combines their information,
i.e., it produces the least upper bound of the two.\index{subject}{least upper
  bound}

A dataflow analysis typically involves two lattices: one lattice to
represent abstract states and another lattice that aggregates the
abstract states of all the blocks in the control-flow graph.  For
liveness analysis, an abstract state is a set of locations.  We form
the lattice $L$ by taking its elements to be sets of locations, the
ordering to be set inclusion ($\subseteq$), the bottom to be the empty
set, and the join operator to be set union.
%
We form a second lattice $M$ by taking its elements to be mappings
from the block labels to sets of locations (elements of $L$).  We
order the mappings point-wise, using the ordering of $L$. So given any
two mappings $m_i$ and $m_j$, $m_i \sqsubseteq_M m_j$ when $m_i(\ell)
\subseteq m_j(\ell)$ for every block label $\ell$ in the program.  The
bottom element of $M$ is the mapping $\bot_M$ that sends every label
to the empty set, i.e., $\bot_M(\ell) = \emptyset$.

We can think of one iteration of liveness analysis as being a function
$f$ on the lattice $M$. It takes a mapping as input and computes a new
mapping.
\[
   f(m_i) = m_{i+1}
\]
Next let us think for a moment about what a final solution $m_s$
should look like. If we perform liveness analysis using the solution
$m_s$ as input, we should get $m_s$ again as the output. That is, the
solution should be a \emph{fixed point} of the function $f$.\index{subject}{fixed point}
\[
   f(m_s) = m_s
\]
Furthermore, the solution should only include locations that are
forced to be there by performing liveness analysis on the program, so
the solution should be the \emph{least} fixed point.\index{subject}{least fixed point}

The Kleene Fixed-Point Theorem states that if a function $f$ is
monotone (better inputs produce better outputs), then the least fixed
point of $f$ is the least upper bound of the \emph{ascending Kleene
  chain} obtained by starting at $\bot$ and iterating $f$ as
follows.\index{subject}{Kleene Fixed-Point Theorem}
\[
\bot \sqsubseteq f(\bot) \sqsubseteq f(f(\bot)) \sqsubseteq \cdots
  \sqsubseteq f^n(\bot) \sqsubseteq \cdots
\]
When a lattice contains only finitely-long ascending chains, then
every Kleene chain tops out at some fixed point after a number of
iterations of $f$. So that fixed point is also a least upper
bound of the chain.
\[
\bot \sqsubseteq f(\bot) \sqsubseteq f(f(\bot)) \sqsubseteq \cdots
\sqsubseteq f^k(\bot) = f^{k+1}(\bot) = m_s
\]

The liveness analysis is indeed a monotone function and the lattice
$M$ only has finitely-long ascending chains because there are only a
finite number of variables and blocks in the program. Thus we are
guaranteed that iteratively applying liveness analysis to all blocks
in the program will eventually produce the least fixed point solution.

Next let us consider dataflow analysis in general and discuss the
generic work list algorithm (Figure~\ref{fig:generic-dataflow}).
%
The algorithm has four parameters: the control-flow graph \code{G}, a
function \code{transfer} that applies the analysis to one block, the
\code{bottom} and \code{join} operator for the lattice of abstract
states.  The algorithm begins by creating the bottom mapping,
represented by a hash table.  It then pushes all of the nodes in the
control-flow graph onto the work list (a queue). The algorithm repeats
the \code{while} loop as long as there are items in the work list. In
each iteration, a node is popped from the work list and processed. The
\code{input} for the node is computed by taking the join of the
abstract states of all the predecessor nodes. The \code{transfer}
function is then applied to obtain the \code{output} abstract
state. If the output differs from the previous state for this block,
the mapping for this block is updated and its successor nodes are
pushed onto the work list.

\end{figure}

Having discussed the two complications that arise from adding support
for assignment and loops, we turn to discussing the one new compiler
pass and the significant changes to existing passes.

\section{Convert Assignments}
\label{sec:convert-assignments}

Recall that in Section~\ref{sec:assignment-scoping} we learned that
the combination of assignments and lexically-scoped functions requires
that we box those variables that are both assigned-to and that appear
free inside a \code{lambda}. The purpose of the
\code{convert-assignments} pass is to carry out that transformation.
We recommend placing this pass after \code{uniquify} but before
\code{reveal-functions}.

Consider again the first example from
Section~\ref{sec:assignment-scoping}:
\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x 0])
  (let ([y 0])
    (let ([z 20])
      (let ([f (lambda: ([a : Integer]) : Integer (+ a (+ x z)))])
        (begin
          (set! x 10)
          (set! y 12)
          (f y))))))
\end{lstlisting}
The variables \code{x} and \code{y} are assigned-to.  The variables
\code{x} and \code{z} occur free inside the \code{lambda}. Thus,
variable \code{x} needs to be boxed but not \code{y} and \code{z}.
The boxing of \code{x} consists of three transformations: initialize
\code{x} with a vector, replace reads from \code{x} with
\code{vector-ref}'s, and replace each \code{set!} on \code{x} with a
\code{vector-set!}. The output of \code{convert-assignments} for this
example is as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (main) : Integer
  (let ([x0 (vector 0)])
    (let ([y1 0])
      (let ([z2 20])
        (let ([f4 (lambda: ([a3 : Integer]) : Integer
                      (+ a3 (+ (vector-ref x0 0) z2)))])
          (begin 
            (vector-set! x0 0 10)
            (set! y1 12)
            (f4 y1)))))))
\end{lstlisting}

\paragraph{Assigned \& Free}

We recommend defining an auxiliary function named
\code{assigned\&free} that takes an expression and simultaneously
computes 1) a set of assigned variables $A$, 2) a set $F$ of variables
that occur free within lambda's, and 3) a new version of the
expression that records which bound variables occurred in the
intersection of $A$ and $F$. You can use the struct
\code{AssignedFree} to do this. Consider the case for
$\LET{x}{\itm{rhs}}{\itm{body}}$.  Suppose the the recursive call on
$\itm{rhs}$ produces $\itm{rhs}'$, $A_r$, and $F_r$ and the recursive
call on the $\itm{body}$ produces $\itm{body}'$, $A_b$, and $F_b$. If
$x$ is in $A_b\cap F_b$, then transforms the \code{Let} as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (Let |$x$| |$rhs$| |$body$|)
  |$\Rightarrow$|
  (Let (AssignedFree |$x$|) |$rhs'$| |$body'$|)
\end{lstlisting}
If $x$ is not in $A_b\cap F_b$ then omit the use of \code{AssignedFree}.
The set of assigned variables for this \code{Let} is
$A_r \cup (A_b - \{x\})$
and the set of variables free in lambda's is
$F_r \cup (F_b - \{x\})$.

The case for $\SETBANG{x}{\itm{rhs}}$ is straightforward but
important. Recursively process \itm{rhs} to obtain \itm{rhs'}, $A_r$,
and $F_r$. The result is $\SETBANG{x}{\itm{rhs'}}$, $\{x\} \cup A_r$,
and $F_r$.

The case for $\LAMBDA{\itm{params}}{T}{\itm{body}}$ is a bit more
involved.  Let \itm{body'}, $A_b$, and $F_b$ be the result of
recursively processing \itm{body}. Wrap each of parameter that occurs
in $A_b \cap F_b$ with \code{AssignedFree} to produce \itm{params'}.
Let $P$ be the set of parameter names in \itm{params}.  The result is
$\LAMBDA{\itm{params'}}{T}{\itm{body'}}$, $A_b - P$, and $(F_b \cup
\mathrm{FV}(\itm{body})) - P$, where $\mathrm{FV}$ computes the free
variables of an expression (see Chapter~\ref{ch:Rlam}).

\paragraph{Convert Assignments}

Next we discuss the \code{convert-assignment} pass with its auxiliary
functions for expressions and definitions. The function for
expressions, \code{cnvt-assign-exp}, should take an expression and a
set of assigned-and-free variables (obtained from the result of
\code{assigned\&free}. In the case for $\VAR{x}$, if $x$ is
assigned-and-free, then unbox it by translating $\VAR{x}$ to a
\code{vector-ref}.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (Var |$x$|)
  |$\Rightarrow$|
  (Prim 'vector-ref (list (Var |$x$|) (Int 0)))
\end{lstlisting}
%
In the case for $\LET{\LP\code{AssignedFree}\,
  x\RP}{\itm{rhs}}{\itm{body}}$, recursively process \itm{rhs} to
obtain \itm{rhs'}.  Next, recursively process \itm{body} to obtain
\itm{body'} but with $x$ added to the set of assigned-and-free
variables.  Translate the let-expression as follows to bind $x$ to a
boxed value.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (Let (AssignedFree |$x$|) |$rhs$| |$body$|)
  |$\Rightarrow$|
  (Let |$x$| (Prim 'vector (list |$rhs'$|)) |$body'$|)
\end{lstlisting}
%
In the case for $\SETBANG{x}{\itm{rhs}}$, recursively process
\itm{rhs} to obtain \itm{rhs'}.  If $x$ is in the assigned-and-free
variables, translate the \code{set!} into a \code{vector-set!}
as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (SetBang |$x$| |$\itm{rhs}$|)
  |$\Rightarrow$|
  (Prim 'vector-set! (list (Var |$x$|) (Int 0) |$\itm{rhs'}$|))
\end{lstlisting}
%
The case for \code{Lambda} is non-trivial, but it is similar to the
case for function definitions, which we discuss next.

The auxiliary function for definitions, \code{cnvt-assign-def},
applies assignment conversion to function definitions.
We translate a function definition as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (Def |$f$| |$\itm{params}$| |$T$| |$\itm{info}$| |$\itm{body_1}$|)
  |$\Rightarrow$|
  (Def |$f$| |$\itm{params'}$| |$T$| |$\itm{info}$| |$\itm{body_4}$|)
\end{lstlisting}
So it remains to explain \itm{params'} and $\itm{body}_4$.
Let \itm{body_2}, $A_b$, and $F_b$ be the result of
\code{assigned\&free} on $\itm{body_1}$.
Let $P$ be the parameter names in \itm{params}.
We then apply \code{cnvt-assign-exp} to $\itm{body_2}$ to
obtain \itm{body_3}, passing $A_b \cap F_b \cap P$
as the set of assigned-and-free variables.
Finally, we obtain \itm{body_4} by wrapping \itm{body_3}
in a sequence of let-expressions that box the parameters
that are in $A_b \cap F_b$.
%
Regarding \itm{params'}, change the names of the parameters that are
in $A_b \cap F_b$ to maintain uniqueness (and so the let-bound
variables can retain the original names). Recall the second example in
Section~\ref{sec:assignment-scoping} involving a counter
abstraction. The following is the output of assignment version for
function \code{f}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (f0 [x1 : Integer]) : (Vector ( -> Integer) ( -> Void))
  (vector
   (lambda: () : Integer x1)
   (lambda: () : Void (set! x1 (+ 1 x1)))))
|$\Rightarrow$|
(define (f0 [param_x1 : Integer]) : (Vector (-> Integer) (-> Void))
  (let ([x1 (vector param_x1)])
    (vector (lambda: () : Integer (vector-ref x1 0))
             (lambda: () : Void
                (vector-set! x1 0 (+ 1 (vector-ref x1 0)))))))
\end{lstlisting}


\section{Remove Complex Operands}
\label{sec:rco-loop}

The three new language forms, \code{while}, \code{set!}, and
\code{begin} are all complex expressions and their subexpressions are
allowed to be complex.  Figure~\ref{fig:Rfun-anf-syntax} defines the
output language \LangFunANF{} of this pass.

\begin{figure}[tp]

\]
\end{minipage}
}
\caption{\LangLoopANF{} is \LangLoop{} in administrative normal form (ANF).}
\label{fig:Rwhile-anf-syntax}
\end{figure}

As usual, when a complex expression appears in a grammar position that
needs to be atomic, such as the argument of a primitive operator, we
must introduce a temporary variable and bind it to the complex
expression.  This approach applies, unchanged, to handle the new
language forms.  For example, in the following code there are two
\code{begin} expressions appearing as arguments to \code{+}.  The
output of \code{rco-exp} is shown below, in which the \code{begin}
expressions have been bound to temporary variables. Recall that
\code{let} expressions in \LangLoopANF{} are allowed to have
arbitrary expressions in their right-hand-side expression, so it is
fine to place \code{begin} there.

\begin{lstlisting}
(let ([x0 10])
  (let ([y1 0])
    (+ (+ (begin (set! y1 (read)) x0)
           (begin (set! x0 (read)) y1))
       x0)))
|$\Rightarrow$|
(let ([x0 10])
  (let ([y1 0])
    (let ([tmp2 (begin (set! y1 (read)) x0)])
      (let ([tmp3 (begin (set! x0 (read)) y1)])
        (let ([tmp4 (+ tmp2 tmp3)])
          (+ tmp4 x0))))))
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Explicate Control and \LangCLoop{}}
\label{sec:explicate-loop}

Recall that in the \code{explicate-control} pass we define one helper
function for each kind of position in the program.  For the \LangVar{}
language of integers and variables we needed kinds of positions:
assignment and tail. The \code{if} expressions of \LangIf{} introduced
predicate positions. For \LangLoop{}, the \code{begin} expression introduces
yet another kind of position: effect position. Except for the last
subexpression, the subexpressions inside a \code{begin} are evaluated
only for their effect. Their result values are discarded. We can
generate better code by taking this fact into account.

The output language of \code{explicate-control} is \LangCLoop{}
(Figure~\ref{fig:c7-syntax}), which is nearly identical to
\LangCLam{}. The only syntactic difference is that \code{Call},
\code{vector-set!}, and \code{read} may also appear as statements.
The most significant difference between \LangCLam{} and \LangCLoop{}
is that the control-flow graphs of the later may contain cycles.


\begin{figure}[tp]
\fbox{
\begin{minipage}{0.96\textwidth}
\small
\[
\begin{array}{lcl}
\Stmt &::=& \gray{ \ASSIGN{\VAR{\Var}}{\Exp} 
       \mid \LP\key{Collect} \,\itm{int}\RP } \\
     &\mid& \CALL{\Atm}{\LP\Atm\ldots\RP} \mid \READ{}\\
     &\mid& \LP\key{Prim}~\key{'vector-set!}\,\LP\key{list}\,\Atm\,\INT{\Int}\,\Atm\RP\RP \\
\Def &::=& \DEF{\itm{label}}{\LP\LS\Var\key{:}\Type\RS\ldots\RP}{\Type}{\itm{info}}{\LP\LP\itm{label}\,\key{.}\,\Tail\RP\ldots\RP}\\
\LangCLoopM{} & ::= & \PROGRAMDEFS{\itm{info}}{\LP\Def\ldots\RP} 
\end{array}
\]
\end{minipage}
}
\caption{The abstract syntax of \LangCLoop{}, extending \LangCLam{} (Figure~\ref{fig:c4-syntax}).}
\label{fig:c7-syntax}
\end{figure}

The new auxiliary function \code{explicate-effect} takes an expression
(in an effect position) and a promise of a continuation block. The
function returns a promise for a $\Tail$ that includes the generated
code for the input expression followed by the continuation block.  If
the expression is obviously pure, that is, never causes side effects,
then the expression can be removed, so the result is just the
continuation block.
%
The $\WHILE{\itm{cnd}}{\itm{body}}$ expression is the most interesting
case.  First, you will need a fresh label $\itm{loop}$ for the top of
the loop.  Recursively process the \itm{body} (in effect position)
with the a \code{goto} to $\itm{loop}$ as the continuation, producing
\itm{body'}. Next, process the \itm{cnd} (in predicate position) with
\itm{body'} as the then-branch and the continuation block as the
else-branch. The result should be added to the control-flow graph with
the label \itm{loop}. The result for the whole \code{while} loop is a
\code{goto} to the \itm{loop} label. Note that the loop should only be
added to the control-flow graph if the loop is indeed used, which can
be accomplished using \code{delay}.

The auxiliary functions for tail, assignment, and predicate positions
need to be updated. The three new language forms, \code{while},
\code{set!}, and \code{begin}, can appear in assignment and tail
positions.  Only \code{begin} may appear in predicate positions; the
other two have result type \code{Void}.

\section{Select Instructions}
\label{sec:select-instructions-loop}

Only three small additions are needed in the
\code{select-instructions} pass to handle the changes to \LangCLoop{}.  That
is, \code{Call}, \code{read}, and \code{vector-set!} may now appear as
stand-alone statements instead of only appearing on the right-hand
side of an assignment statement. The code generation is nearly
identical; just leave off the instruction for moving the result into
the left-hand side.

\section{Register Allocation}
\label{sec:register-allocation-loop}

As discussed in Section~\ref{sec:dataflow-analysis}, the presence of
loops in \LangLoop{} means that the control-flow graphs may contain cycles,
which complicates the liveness analysis needed for register
allocation.

\subsection{Liveness Analysis}
\label{sec:liveness-analysis-r8}

We recommend using the generic \code{analyze-dataflow} function that
was presented at the end of Section~\ref{sec:dataflow-analysis} to
perform liveness analysis, replacing the code in
\code{uncover-live-CFG} that processed the basic blocks in topological
order (Section~\ref{sec:liveness-analysis-Rif}).

The \code{analyze-dataflow} function has four parameters.
\begin{enumerate}
\item The first parameter \code{G} should be a directed graph from the
  \code{racket/graph} package (see the sidebar in
  Section~\ref{sec:build-interference}) that represents the
  control-flow graph.
\item The second parameter \code{transfer} is a function that applies
  liveness analysis to a basic block. It takes two parameters: the
  label for the block to analyze and the live-after set for that
  block.  The transfer function should return the live-before set for
  the block.  Also, as a side-effect, it should update the block's
  $\itm{info}$ with the liveness information for each instruction. To
  implement the \code{transfer} function, you should be able to reuse
  the code you already have for analyzing basic blocks.
\item The third and fourth parameters of \code{analyze-dataflow} are
  \code{bottom} and \code{join} for the lattice of abstract states,
  i.e.  sets of locations. The bottom of the lattice is the empty set
  \code{(set)} and the join operator is \code{set-union}.
\end{enumerate}

Figure~\ref{fig:Rwhile-passes} provides an overview of all the passes needed
for the compilation of \LangLoop{}.


\section{Challenge: Arrays}
\label{sec:arrays}

In Chapter~\ref{ch:Rvec} we studied tuples, that is, sequences of
elements whose length is determined at compile-time and where each
element of a tuple may have a different type (they are
heterogeous). This challenge is also about sequences, but this time
the length is determined at run-time and all the elements have the same
type (they are homogeneous). We use the term ``array'' for this later
kind of sequence.

The Racket language does not distinguish between tuples and arrays,
they are both represented by vectors. However, Typed Racket
distinguishes between tuples and arrays: the \code{Vector} type is for
tuples and the \code{Vectorof} type is for arrays.
%
Figure~\ref{fig:Rvecof-concrete-syntax} defines the concrete syntax
for \LangArray{}, extending \LangLoop{} with the \code{Vectorof} type
and the \code{make-vector} primitive operator for creating an array,
whose arguments are the length of the array and an initial value for
all the elements in the array. The \code{vector-length},
\code{vector-ref}, and \code{vector-ref!} operators that we defined
for tuples become overloaded for use with arrays.
%
We also include integer multiplication in \LangArray{}, as it is
useful in many examples involving arrays such as computing the
inner-product of two arrays (Figure~\ref{fig:inner-product}).

The type checker for \LangArray{} is define in
Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rvecof}. The result type of
\code{make-vector} is \code{(Vectorof T)} where \code{T} is the type
of the intializing expression.  The length expression is required to
have type \code{Integer}. The type checking of the operators
\code{vector-length}, \code{vector-ref}, and \code{vector-set!}  is
updated to handle the situation where the vector has type
\code{Vectorof}. In these cases we translate the operators to their
\code{vectorof} form so that later passes can easily distinguish
between operations on tuples versus arrays. We override the
\code{operator-types} method to provide the type signature for
multiplication: it takes two integers and returns an integer.  To
support injection and projection of arrays to the \code{Any} type
(Section~\ref{sec:Rany-lang}), we also override the \code{flat-ty?}
predicate.

\subsection{Data Representation}
\label{sec:array-rep}

Just like tuples, we store arrays on the heap which means that the
garbage collector will need to inspect arrays. An immediate thought is
to use the same representation for arrays that we use for tuples.
However, we limit tuples to a length of $50$ so that their length and
pointer mask can fit into the 64-bit tag at the beginning of each
tuple (Section~\ref{sec:data-rep-gc}). We intend arrays to allow
millions of elements, so we need more bits to store the length.
However, because arrays are homogeneous, we only need $1$ bit for the
pointer mask instead of one bit per array elements.  Finally, the
garbage collector will need to be able to distinguish between tuples
and arrays, so we need to reserve $1$ bit for that purpose.  So we
arrive at the following layout for the 64-bit tag at the beginning of
an array:
\begin{itemize}
\item The right-most bit is the forwarding bit, just like in a tuple.
  A $0$ indicates it is a forwarding pointer and a $1$ indicates
  it is not.
  
\item The next bit to the left is the pointer mask. A $0$ indicates
  that none of the elements are pointers to the heap and a $1$
  indicates that all of the elements are pointers.

\item The next $61$ bits store the length of the array.

\item The left-most bit distinguishes between a tuple ($0$) versus an
  array ($1$).
\end{itemize}


Recall that in Chapter~\ref{ch:Rdyn}, we use a $3$-bit tag to
differentiate the kinds of values that have been injected into the
\code{Any} type. We use the bit pattern \code{110} (or $6$ in decimal)
to indicate that the value is an array.

In the following subsections we provide hints regarding how to update
the passes to handle arrays.


\subsection{Reveal Casts}

The array-access operators \code{vectorof-ref} and
\code{vectorof-set!} are similar to the \code{any-vector-ref} and
\code{any-vector-set!} operators of Chapter~\ref{ch:Rdyn} in
that the type checker cannot tell whether the index will be in bounds,
so the bounds check must be performed at run time.  Recall that the
\code{reveal-casts} pass (Section~\ref{sec:reveal-casts-Rany}) wraps
an \code{If} arround a vector reference for update to check whether
the index is less than the length.  You should do the same for
\code{vectorof-ref} and \code{vectorof-set!} .

In addition, the handling of the \code{any-vector} operators in
\code{reveal-casts} needs to be updated to account for arrays that are
injected to \code{Any}. For the \code{any-vector-length} operator, the
generated code should test whether the tag is for tuples (\code{010})
or arrays (\code{110}) and then dispatch to either
\code{any-vector-length} or \code{any-vectorof-length}.  For the later
we add a case in \code{select-instructions} to generate the
appropriate instructions for accessing the array length from the
header of an array.

For the \code{any-vector-ref} and \code{any-vector-set!} operators,
the generated code needs to check that the index is less than the
vector length, so like the code for \code{any-vector-length}, check
the tag to determine whether to use \code{any-vector-length} or
\code{any-vectorof-length} for this purpose.  Once the bounds checking
is complete, the generated code can use \code{any-vector-ref} and
\code{any-vector-set!} for both tuples and arrays because the
instructions used for those operators do not look at the tag at the
front of the tuple or array.

\subsection{Expose Allocation}

This pass should translate the \code{make-vector} operator into
lower-level operations. In particular, the new AST node
$\LP\key{AllocateArray}~\Exp~\Type\RP$ allocates an array of the
length specified by the $\Exp$, but does not initialize the elements
of the array. (Analogous to the \code{Allocate} AST node for tuples.)
The $\Type$ argument must be $\LP\key{Vectorof}~T\RP$ where $T$ is the
element type for the array. Regarding the initialization of the array,
we recommend generated a \code{while} loop that uses
\code{vector-set!} to put the initializing value into every element of
the array.

\subsection{Remove Complex Operands}

Add cases in the \code{rco-atom} and \code{rco-exp} for
\code{AllocateArray}. In particular, an \code{AllocateArray} node is
complex and its subexpression must be atomic.

\subsection{Explicate Control}

Add cases for \code{AllocateArray} to \code{explicate-tail} and
\code{explicate-assign}.

\subsection{Select Instructions}

Generate instructions for \code{AllocateArray} similar to those for
\code{Allocate} in Section~\ref{sec:select-instructions-gc} except
that the tag at the front of the array should instead use the
representation discussed in Section~\ref{sec:array-rep}.

Regarding \code{vectorof-length}, extract the length from the tag
according to the representation discussed in
Section~\ref{sec:array-rep}.

The instructions generated for \code{vectorof-ref} differ from those
for \code{vector-ref} (Section~\ref{sec:select-instructions-gc}) in
that the index is not a constant so the offset must be computed at
runtime, similar to the instructions generated for
\code{any-vector-of-ref} (Section~\ref{sec:select-Rany}).  The same is
true for \code{vectorof-set!}.  Also, the \code{vectorof-set!} may
appear in an assignment and as a stand-alone statement, so make sure
to handle both situations in this pass.

Finally, the instructions for \code{any-vectorof-length} should be
similar to those for \code{vectorof-length}, except that one must
first project the array by writing zeroes into the $3$-bit tag

\begin{exercise}\normalfont

Implement a compiler for the \LangArray{} language by extending your
compiler for \LangLoop{}. Test your compiler on a half dozen new
programs, including the one in Figure~\ref{fig:inner-product} and also
a program that multiplies two matrices. Note that matrices are
2-dimensional arrays, but those can be encoded into 1-dimensional
arrays by laying out each row in the array, one after the next.

\chapter{Gradual Typing}
\label{ch:Rgrad}
\index{subject}{gradual typing}

This chapter studies a language, \LangGrad{}, in which the programmer
can choose between static and dynamic type checking in different parts
of a program, thereby mixing the statically typed \LangLoop{} language
with the dynamically typed \LangDyn{}. There are several approaches to
mixing static and dynamic typing, including multi-language
integration~\citep{Tobin-Hochstadt:2006fk,Matthews:2007zr} and hybrid
type checking~\citep{Flanagan:2006mn,Gronski:2006uq}. In this chapter
we focus on \emph{gradual typing}\index{subject}{gradual typing}, in which the
programmer controls the amount of static versus dynamic checking by
adding or removing type annotations on parameters and
variables~\citep{Anderson:2002kd,Siek:2006bh}.
%
The concrete syntax of \LangGrad{} is defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:Rgrad-concrete-syntax} and its abstract syntax is defined
in Figure~\ref{fig:Rgrad-syntax}. The main syntactic difference between
\LangLoop{} and \LangGrad{} is the additional \itm{param} and \itm{ret}
non-terminals that make type annotations optional. The return types
are not optional in the abstract syntax; the parser fills in
\code{Any} when the return type is not specified in the concrete
syntax.

Both the type checker and the interpreter for \LangGrad{} require some
interesting changes to enable gradual typing, which we discuss in the
next two sections in the context of the \code{map-vec} example from
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rfun}.  In Figure~\ref{fig:gradual-map-vec} we
revised the \code{map-vec} example, omitting the type annotations from
the \code{add1} function.

                   [v : (Vector Integer Integer)])
                   : (Vector Integer Integer)
  (vector (f (vector-ref v 0)) (f (vector-ref v 1))))

(define (add1 x) (+ x 1))

(vector-ref (map-vec add1 (vector 0 41)) 1)
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{A partially-typed version of the \code{map-vec} example.}
\label{fig:gradual-map-vec}
\end{figure}

\section{Type Checking \LangGrad{} and \LangCast{}}
\label{sec:gradual-type-check}

The type checker for \LangGrad{} uses the \code{Any} type for missing
parameter and return types. For example, the \code{x} parameter of
\code{add1} in Figure~\ref{fig:gradual-map-vec} is given the type
\code{Any} and the return type of \code{add1} is \code{Any}. Next
consider the \code{+} operator inside \code{add1}. It expects both
arguments to have type \code{Integer}, but its first argument \code{x}
has type \code{Any}.  In a gradually typed language, such differences
are allowed so long as the types are \emph{consistent}, that is, they
are equal except in places where there is an \code{Any} type. The type
\code{Any} is consistent with every other type.
Figure~\ref{fig:consistent} defines the \code{consistent?} predicate.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define/public (consistent? t1 t2)
  (match* (t1 t2)
    [('Integer 'Integer) #t]
    [('Boolean 'Boolean) #t]
    [('Void 'Void) #t]
    [('Any t2) #t]
    [(t1 'Any) #t]
    [(`(Vector ,ts1 ...) `(Vector ,ts2 ...))
     (for/and ([t1 ts1] [t2 ts2]) (consistent? t1 t2))]
    [(`(,ts1 ... -> ,rt1) `(,ts2 ... -> ,rt2))
     (and (for/and ([t1 ts1] [t2 ts2]) (consistent? t1 t2))
          (consistent? rt1 rt2))]
    [(other wise) #f]))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{The consistency predicate on types.}
\label{fig:consistent}
\end{figure}

Returning to the \code{map-vec} example of
Figure~\ref{fig:gradual-map-vec}, the \code{add1} function has type
\code{(Any -> Any)} but parameter \code{f} of \code{map-vec} has type
\code{(Integer -> Integer)}.  The type checker for \LangGrad{} allows this
because the two types are consistent.  In particular, \code{->} is
equal to \code{->} and because \code{Any} is consistent with
\code{Integer}.

Next consider a program with an error, such as applying the
\code{map-vec} to a function that sometimes returns a Boolean, as
shown in Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-maybe-add1}.  The type checker for
\LangGrad{} accepts this program because the type of \code{maybe-add1} is
consistent with the type of parameter \code{f} of \code{map-vec}, that
is, \code{(Any -> Any)} is consistent with \code{(Integer ->
  Integer)}. One might say that a gradual type checker is optimistic
in that it accepts programs that might execute without a runtime type
error.
%
Unfortunately, running this program with input \code{1} triggers an
error when the \code{maybe-add1} function returns \code{\#t}. \LangGrad{}
performs checking at runtime to ensure the integrity of the static
types, such as the \code{(Integer -> Integer)} annotation on parameter
\code{f} of \code{map-vec}.  This runtime checking is carried out by a
new \code{Cast} form that is inserted by the type checker.  Thus, the
output of the type checker is a program in the \LangCast{} language, which
adds \code{Cast} to \LangLoop{}, as shown in
Figure~\ref{fig:Rgrad-prime-syntax}.

\end{array}
\]
\end{minipage}
}
\caption{The abstract syntax of \LangCast{}, extending \LangLoop{} (Figure~\ref{fig:Rwhile-syntax}).}
\label{fig:Rgrad-prime-syntax}
\end{figure}


\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (map-vec [f : (Integer -> Integer)]
                   [v : (Vector Integer Integer)])
                   : (Vector Integer Integer)
  (vector (f (vector-ref v 0)) (f (vector-ref v 1))))
(define (add1 x) (+ x 1))
(define (true) #t)
(define (maybe-add1 x) (if (eq? 0 (read)) (add1 x) (true)))

(vector-ref (map-vec maybe-add1 (vector 0 41)) 0)
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{A variant of the \code{map-vec} example with an error.}
\label{fig:map-vec-maybe-add1}
\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-cast} shows the output of the type checker for
\code{map-vec} and \code{maybe-add1}.  The idea is that \code{Cast} is
inserted every time the type checker sees two types that are
consistent but not equal. In the \code{add1} function, \code{x} is
cast to \code{Integer} and the result of the \code{+} is cast to
\code{Any}.  In the call to \code{map-vec}, the \code{add1} argument
is cast from \code{(Any -> Any)} to \code{(Integer -> Integer)}.

\begin{figure}[btp]
\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily\footnotesize]

  (cast (+ (cast x Any Integer) 1) Integer Any))
(define (true) : Any (cast #t Boolean Any))
(define (maybe-add1 [x : Any]) : Any
  (if (eq? 0 (read)) (add1 x) (true)))

(vector-ref (map-vec (cast maybe-add1 (Any -> Any) (Integer -> Integer))

\section{Interpreting \LangCast{}}
\label{sec:interp-casts}

The runtime behavior of first-order casts is straightforward, that is,
casts involving simple types such as \code{Integer} and
\code{Boolean}.  For example, a cast from \code{Integer} to \code{Any}
can be accomplished with the \code{Inject} operator of \LangAny{}, which
puts the integer into a tagged value
(Figure~\ref{fig:interp-Rany}). Similarly, a cast from \code{Any} to
\code{Integer} is accomplished with the \code{Project} operator, that
is, by checking the value's tag and either retrieving the underlying
integer or signaling an error if it the tag is not the one for
integers (Figure~\ref{fig:apply-project}).
%
Things get more interesting for higher-order casts, that is, casts
involving function or vector types.

Consider the cast of the function \code{maybe-add1} from \code{(Any ->
  Any)} to \code{(Integer -> Integer)}. When a function flows through
this cast at runtime, we can't know in general whether the function
will always return an integer.\footnote{Predicting the return value of
  a function is equivalent to the halting problem, which is
  undecidable.}  The \LangCast{} interpreter therefore delays the checking
of the cast until the function is applied. This is accomplished by
wrapping \code{maybe-add1} in a new function that casts its parameter
from \code{Integer} to \code{Any}, applies \code{maybe-add1}, and then
casts the return value from \code{Any} to \code{Integer}.

Turning our attention to casts involving vector types, we consider the
example in Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-bang} that defines a
partially-typed version of \code{map-vec} whose parameter \code{v} has
type \code{(Vector Any Any)} and that updates \code{v} in place
instead of returning a new vector. So we name this function
\code{map-vec!}. We apply \code{map-vec!} to a vector of integers, so
the type checker inserts a cast from \code{(Vector Integer Integer)}
to \code{(Vector Any Any)}. A naive way for the \LangCast{} interpreter to
cast between vector types would be a build a new vector whose elements
are the result of casting each of the original elements to the
appropriate target type. However, this approach is only valid for
immutable vectors; and our vectors are mutable. In the example of
Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-bang}, if the cast created a new vector, then
the updates inside of \code{map-vec!} would happen to the new vector
and not the original one.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
  % gradual_test_11.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (map-vec! [f : (Any -> Any)]
                  [v : (Vector Any Any)]) : Void
  (begin
    (vector-set! v 0 (f (vector-ref v 0)))
    (vector-set! v 1 (f (vector-ref v 1)))))

(define (add1 x) (+ x 1))

(let ([v (vector 0 41)])
  (begin (map-vec! add1 v) (vector-ref v 1)))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{An example involving casts on vectors.}
\label{fig:map-vec-bang}
\end{figure}

Instead the interpreter needs to create a new kind of value, a
\emph{vector proxy}, that intercepts every vector operation. On a
read, the proxy reads from the underlying vector and then applies a
cast to the resulting value.  On a write, the proxy casts the argument
value and then performs the write to the underlying vector. For the
first \code{(vector-ref v 0)} in \code{map-vec!}, the proxy casts
\code{0} from \code{Integer} to \code{Any}.  For the first
\code{vector-set!}, the proxy casts a tagged \code{1} from \code{Any}
to \code{Integer}.

The final category of cast that we need to consider are casts between
the \code{Any} type and either a function or a vector
type. Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-any} shows a variant of \code{map-vec!}
in which parameter \code{v} does not have a type annotation, so it is
given type \code{Any}. In the call to \code{map-vec!}, the vector has
type \code{(Vector Integer Integer)} so the type checker inserts a
cast from \code{(Vector Integer Integer)} to \code{Any}. A first
thought is to use \code{Inject}, but that doesn't work because
\code{(Vector Integer Integer)} is not a flat type. Instead, we must
first cast to \code{(Vector Any Any)} (which is flat) and then inject
to \code{Any}.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (map-vec! [f : (Any -> Any)] v) : Void
  (begin
    (vector-set! v 0 (f (vector-ref v 0)))
    (vector-set! v 1 (f (vector-ref v 1)))))

(define (add1 x) (+ x 1))

(let ([v (vector 0 41)])
  (begin (map-vec! add1 v) (vector-ref v 1)))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{Casting a vector to \code{Any}.}
\label{fig:map-vec-any}
\end{figure}

The \LangCast{} interpreter uses an auxiliary function named
\code{apply-cast} to cast a value from a source type to a target type,
shown in Figure~\ref{fig:apply-cast}. You'll find that it handles all
of the kinds of casts that we've discussed in this section.

\section{Lower Casts}
\label{sec:lower-casts}

The next step in the journey towards x86 is the \code{lower-casts}
pass that translates the casts in \LangCast{} to the lower-level
\code{Inject} and \code{Project} operators and a new operator for
creating vector proxies, extending the \LangLoop{} language to create
\LangProxy{}. We recommend creating an auxiliary function named
\code{lower-cast} that takes an expression (in \LangCast{}), a source type,
and a target type, and translates it to expression in \LangProxy{} that has
the same behavior as casting the expression from the source to the
target type in the interpreter.

The \code{lower-cast} function can follow a code structure similar to
the \code{apply-cast} function (Figure~\ref{fig:apply-cast}) used in
the interpreter for \LangCast{} because it must handle the same cases as
\code{apply-cast} and it needs to mimic the behavior of
\code{apply-cast}. The most interesting cases are those concerning the
casts between two vector types and between two function types.

As mentioned in Section~\ref{sec:interp-casts}, a cast from one vector
type to another vector type is accomplished by creating a proxy that
intercepts the operations on the underlying vector. Here we make the
creation of the proxy explicit with the \code{vector-proxy} primitive
operation. It takes three arguments, the first is an expression for
the vector, the second is a vector of functions for casting an element
that is being read from the vector, and the third is a vector of
functions for casting an element that is being written to the vector.
You can create the functions using \code{Lambda}. Also, as we shall
see in the next section, we need to differentiate these vectors from
the user-created ones, so we recommend using a new primitive operator
named \code{raw-vector} instead of \code{vector} to create these
vectors of functions. Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-bang-lower-cast} shows
the output of \code{lower-casts} on the example in
Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-bang} that involved casting a vector of
integers to a vector of \code{Any}.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (map-vec! [f : (Any -> Any)] [v : (Vector Any Any)]) : Void
   (begin 
      (vector-set! v 0 (f (vector-ref v 0)))
      (vector-set! v 1 (f (vector-ref v 1)))))
  
(define (add1 [x : Any]) : Any
   (inject (+ (project x Integer) 1) Integer))

(let ([v (vector 0 41)])
   (begin 
      (map-vec! add1 (vector-proxy v
                        (raw-vector (lambda: ([x9 : Integer]) : Any
                                       (inject x9 Integer))
                                     (lambda: ([x9 : Integer]) : Any
                                       (inject x9 Integer)))
                        (raw-vector (lambda: ([x9 : Any]) : Integer
                                       (project x9 Integer))
                                    (lambda: ([x9 : Any]) : Integer
                                       (project x9 Integer)))))
      (vector-ref v 1)))
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{Output of \code{lower-casts} on the example in
  Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-bang}.}
\label{fig:map-vec-bang-lower-cast}
\end{figure}

A cast from one function type to another function type is accomplished
by generating a \code{Lambda} whose parameter and return types match
the target function type. The body of the \code{Lambda} should cast
the parameters from the target type to the source type (yes,
backwards! functions are contravariant\index{subject}{contravariant} in the
parameters), then call the underlying function, and finally cast the
result from the source return type to the target return type.
Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-lower-cast} shows the output of the
\code{lower-casts} pass on the \code{map-vec} example in
Figure~\ref{fig:gradual-map-vec}. Note that the \code{add1} argument
in the call to \code{map-vec} is wrapped in a \code{lambda}.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (map-vec [f : (Integer -> Integer)]
                   [v : (Vector Integer Integer)])
                   : (Vector Integer Integer)
  (vector (f (vector-ref v 0)) (f (vector-ref v 1))))

(define (add1 [x : Any]) : Any
  (inject (+ (project x Integer) 1) Integer))

(vector-ref (map-vec (lambda: ([x9 : Integer]) : Integer
                        (project (add1 (inject x9 Integer)) Integer))
                      (vector 0 41)) 1)
\end{lstlisting}

\section{Differentiate Proxies}
\label{sec:differentiate-proxies}

So far the job of differentiating vectors and vector proxies has been
the job of the interpreter. For example, the interpreter for \LangCast{}
implements \code{vector-ref} using the \code{guarded-vector-ref}
function in Figure~\ref{fig:guarded-vector}.  In the
\code{differentiate-proxies} pass we shift this responsibility to the
generated code.

We begin by designing the output language $R^p_8$.  In
\LangGrad{} we used the type \code{Vector} for both real vectors and vector
proxies. In $R^p_8$ we return the \code{Vector} type to
its original meaning, as the type of real vectors, and we introduce a
new type, \code{PVector}, whose values can be either real vectors or
vector proxies. This new type comes with a suite of new primitive
operations for creating and using values of type \code{PVector}. We
don't need to introduce a new type to represent vector proxies.  A
proxy is represented by a vector containing three things: 1) the
underlying vector, 2) a vector of functions for casting elements that
are read from the vector, and 3) a vector of functions for casting
values to be written to the vector. So we define the following
abbreviation for the type of a vector proxy:
\[
\itm{Proxy} (T\ldots \Rightarrow T'\ldots)
= (\ttm{Vector}~(\ttm{PVector}~ T\ldots) ~R~ W)
  \to (\key{PVector}~ T' \ldots)
\]
where $R = (\ttm{Vector}~(T\to T') \ldots)$ and
$W = (\ttm{Vector}~(T'\to T) \ldots)$.
%
Next we describe each of the new primitive operations.

\begin{description}
\item[\code{inject-vector} : (\key{Vector} $T \ldots$) $\to$
  (\key{PVector} $T \ldots$)]\ \\
%
  This operation brands a vector as a value of the \code{PVector} type.
\item[\code{inject-proxy} : $\itm{Proxy}(T\ldots \Rightarrow T'\ldots)$
  $\to$ (\key{PVector} $T' \ldots$)]\ \\
%
  This operation brands a vector proxy as value of the \code{PVector} type.
\item[\code{proxy?} : (\key{PVector} $T \ldots$) $\to$
  \code{Boolean}] \ \\
%
  returns true if the value is a vector proxy and false if it is a
  real vector.
\item[\code{project-vector} : (\key{PVector} $T \ldots$) $\to$
  (\key{Vector} $T \ldots$)]\ \\
%
  Assuming that the input is a vector (and not a proxy), this
  operation returns the vector.
  
\item[\code{proxy-vector-length} : (\key{PVector} $T \ldots$)
  $\to$ \code{Boolean}]\ \\
%
  Given a vector proxy, this operation returns the length of the
  underlying vector.
  
\item[\code{proxy-vector-ref} : (\key{PVector} $T \ldots$)
  $\to$ ($i$ : \code{Integer}) $\to$ $T_i$]\ \\
%
  Given a vector proxy, this operation returns the $i$th element of
  the underlying vector.
  
\item[\code{proxy-vector-set!} : (\key{PVector} $T \ldots$) $\to$ ($i$
  : \code{Integer}) $\to$ $T_i$ $\to$ \key{Void}]\ \\ Given a vector
  proxy, this operation writes a value to the $i$th element of the
  underlying vector.
\end{description}

Now to discuss the translation that differentiates vectors from
proxies. First, every type annotation in the program must be
translated (recursively) to replace \code{Vector} with \code{PVector}.
Next, we must insert uses of \code{PVector} operations in the
appropriate places. For example, we wrap every vector creation with an
\code{inject-vector}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(vector |$e_1 \ldots e_n$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(inject-vector (vector |$e'_1 \ldots e'_n$|))
\end{lstlisting}
The \code{raw-vector} operator that we introduced in the previous
section does not get injected.
\begin{lstlisting}
(raw-vector |$e_1 \ldots e_n$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(vector |$e'_1 \ldots e'_n$|)
\end{lstlisting}

The \code{vector-proxy} primitive translates as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}
(vector-proxy |$e_1~e_2~e_3$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(inject-proxy (vector |$e'_1~e'_2~e'_3$|))
\end{lstlisting}

We translate the vector operations into conditional expressions that
check whether the value is a proxy and then dispatch to either the
appropriate proxy vector operation or the regular vector operation.
For example, the following is the translation for \code{vector-ref}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(vector-ref |$e_1$| |$i$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(let ([|$v~e_1$|])
  (if (proxy? |$v$|)
    (proxy-vector-ref |$v$| |$i$|)
    (vector-ref (project-vector |$v$|) |$i$|)
\end{lstlisting}
Note in the case of a real vector, we must apply \code{project-vector}
before the \code{vector-ref}.

\section{Reveal Casts}
\label{sec:reveal-casts-gradual}

Recall that the \code{reveal-casts} pass
(Section~\ref{sec:reveal-casts-Rany}) is responsible for lowering
\code{Inject} and \code{Project} into lower-level operations.  In
particular, \code{Project} turns into a conditional expression that
inspects the tag and retrieves the underlying value.  Here we need to
augment the translation of \code{Project} to handle the situation when
the target type is \code{PVector}.  Instead of using
\code{vector-length} we need to use \code{proxy-vector-length}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(project |$e$| (PVector Any|$_1$| |$\ldots$| Any|$_n$|))
|$\Rightarrow$|
(let |$\itm{tmp}$| |$e'$|
   (if (eq? (tag-of-any |$\itm{tmp}$| 2))
      (let |$\itm{vec}$| (value-of |$\itm{tmp}$| (PVector Any |$\ldots$| Any))
        (if (eq? (proxy-vector-length |$\itm{vec}$|) |$n$|) |$\itm{vec}$| (exit)))
      (exit)))
\end{lstlisting}


\section{Closure Conversion}
\label{sec:closure-conversion-gradual}

The closure conversion pass only requires one minor adjustment.  The
auxiliary function that translates type annotations needs to be
updated to handle the \code{PVector} type.

\section{Explicate Control}
\label{sec:explicate-control-gradual}

Update the \code{explicate-control} pass to handle the new primitive
operations on the \code{PVector} type.

\section{Select Instructions}
\label{sec:select-instructions-gradual}

Recall that the \code{select-instructions} pass is responsible for
lowering the primitive operations into x86 instructions.  So we need
to translate the new \code{PVector} operations to x86.  To do so, the
first question we need to answer is how will we differentiate the two
kinds of values (vectors and proxies) that can inhabit \code{PVector}.
We need just one bit to accomplish this, and use the bit in position
$57$ of the 64-bit tag at the front of every vector (see
Figure~\ref{fig:tuple-rep}). So far, this bit has been set to $0$, so
for \code{inject-vector} we leave it that way.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |$\itm{lhs}$| (Prim 'inject-vector (list |$e_1$|)))
|$\Rightarrow$|  
movq |$e'_1$|, |$\itm{lhs'}$|
\end{lstlisting}
On the other hand, \code{inject-proxy} sets bit $57$ to $1$.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |$\itm{lhs}$| (Prim 'inject-proxy (list |$e_1$|)))
|$\Rightarrow$|  
movq |$e'_1$|, %r11
movq |$(1 << 57)$|, %rax
orq 0(%r11), %rax
movq %rax, 0(%r11)
movq %r11, |$\itm{lhs'}$|
\end{lstlisting}

The \code{proxy?} operation consumes the information so carefully
stashed away by \code{inject-vector} and \code{inject-proxy}.  It
isolates the $57$th bit to tell whether the value is a real vector or
a proxy.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |$\itm{lhs}$| (Prim 'proxy? (list e)))
|$\Rightarrow$|
movq |$e_1'$|, %r11
movq 0(%r11), %rax
sarq $57, %rax
andq $1, %rax
movq %rax, |$\itm{lhs'}$|
\end{lstlisting}

The \code{project-vector} operation is straightforward to translate,
so we leave it up to the reader.

Regarding the \code{proxy-vector} operations, the runtime provides
procedures that implement them (they are recursive functions!)  so
here we simply need to translate these vector operations into the
appropriate function call. For example, here is the translation for
\code{proxy-vector-ref}.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |$\itm{lhs}$| (Prim 'proxy-vector-ref (list |$e_1$| |$e_2$|)))
|$\Rightarrow$|
movq |$e_1'$|, %rdi
movq |$e_2'$|, %rsi
callq proxy_vector_ref
movq %rax, |$\itm{lhs'}$|
\end{lstlisting}

We have another batch of vector operations to deal with, those for the
\code{Any} type. Recall that the type checker for \LangGrad{} generates an
\code{any-vector-ref} when there is a \code{vector-ref} on something
of type \code{Any}, and similarly for \code{any-vector-set!}  and
\code{any-vector-length} (Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rgradual-1}). In
Section~\ref{sec:select-Rany} we selected instructions for these
operations based on the idea that the underlying value was a real
vector. But in the current setting, the underlying value is of type
\code{PVector}. So \code{any-vector-ref} can be translates to
pseudo-x86 as follows. We begin by projecting the underlying value out
of the tagged value and then call the \code{proxy\_vector\_ref}
procedure in the runtime.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Assign |$\itm{lhs}$| (Prim 'any-vector-ref (list |$e_1$| |$e_2$|)))
movq |$\neg 111$|, %rdi
andq |$e_1'$|, %rdi
movq |$e_2'$|, %rsi
callq proxy_vector_ref
movq %rax, |$\itm{lhs'}$|
\end{lstlisting}
The \code{any-vector-set!} and \code{any-vector-length} operators can
be translated in a similar way.

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
  Implement a compiler for the gradually-typed \LangGrad{} language by
  extending and adapting your compiler for \LangLoop{}. Create 10 new
  partially-typed test programs. In addition to testing with these
  new programs, also test your compiler on all the tests for \LangLoop{}
  and tests for \LangDyn{}. Sometimes you may get a type checking error
  on the \LangDyn{} programs but you can adapt them by inserting
  a cast to the \code{Any} type around each subexpression
  causing a type error. While \LangDyn{} doesn't have explicit casts,
  you can induce one by wrapping the subexpression \code{e}
  with a call to an un-annotated identity function, like this:
  \code{((lambda (x) x) e)}.

\section{Further Reading}

This chapter just scratches the surface of gradual typing.  The basic
approach described here is missing two key ingredients that one would
want in a implementation of gradual typing: blame
tracking~\citep{Tobin-Hochstadt:2006fk,Wadler:2009qv} and
space-efficient casts~\citep{Herman:2006uq,Herman:2010aa}.  The
problem addressed by blame tracking is that when a cast on a
higher-order value fails, it often does so at a point in the program
that is far removed from the original cast. Blame tracking is a
technique for propagating extra information through casts and proxies
so that when a cast fails, the error message can point back to the
original location of the cast in the source program.

The problem addressed by space-efficient casts also relates to
higher-order casts. It turns out that in partially typed programs, a
function or vector can flow through very-many casts at runtime. With
the approach described in this chapter, each cast adds another
\code{lambda} wrapper or a vector proxy. Not only does this take up
considerable space, but it also makes the function calls and vector
operations slow.  For example, a partially-typed version of quicksort
could, in the worst case, build a chain of proxies of length $O(n)$
around the vector, changing the overall time complexity of the
algorithm from $O(n^2)$ to $O(n^3)$! \citet{Herman:2006uq} suggested a
solution to this problem by representing casts using the coercion
calculus of \citet{Henglein:1994nz}, which prevents the creation of
long chains of proxies by compressing them into a concise normal
form. \citet{Siek:2015ab} give and algorithm for compressing coercions
and \citet{Kuhlenschmidt:2019aa} show how to implement these ideas in
the Grift compiler.

other language features, such as parametetric polymorphism,
information-flow types, and type inference, to name a few. We

\chapter{Parametric Polymorphism}
\label{ch:Rpoly}
\index{subject}{parametric polymorphism}
\index{subject}{generics}

This chapter studies the compilation of parametric
polymorphism\index{subject}{parametric polymorphism}
(aka. generics\index{subject}{generics}) in the subset \LangPoly{} of Typed
Racket. Parametric polymorphism enables improved code reuse by
parameterizing functions and data structures with respect to the types
that they operate on. For example, Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-poly}
revisits the \code{map-vec} example but this time gives it a more
fitting type.  This \code{map-vec} function is parameterized with
respect to the element type of the vector. The type of \code{map-vec}
is the following polymorphic type as specified by the \code{All} and
the type parameter \code{a}.
\begin{lstlisting}
  (All (a) ((a -> a) (Vector a a) -> (Vector a a)))
\end{lstlisting}
The idea is that \code{map-vec} can be used at \emph{all} choices of a
type for parameter \code{a}. In Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-poly} we apply
\code{map-vec} to a vector of integers, a choice of \code{Integer} for
\code{a}, but we could have just as well applied \code{map-vec} to a
vector of Booleans (and a function on Booleans).

\begin{figure}[tbp]
  % poly_test_2.rkt
\begin{lstlisting}
(: map-vec (All (a) ((a -> a) (Vector a a) -> (Vector a a))))
(define (map-vec f v)
  (vector (f (vector-ref v 0)) (f (vector-ref v 1))))

(define (add1 [x : Integer]) : Integer (+ x 1))

(vector-ref (map-vec add1 (vector 0 41)) 1)
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{The \code{map-vec} example using parametric polymorphism.}
\label{fig:map-vec-poly}
\end{figure}

Figure~\ref{fig:Rpoly-concrete-syntax} defines the concrete syntax of
\LangPoly{} and Figure~\ref{fig:Rpoly-syntax} defines the abstract
syntax. We add a second form for function definitions in which a type
declaration comes before the \code{define}. In the abstract syntax,
the return type in the \code{Def} is \code{Any}, but that should be
ignored in favor of the return type in the type declaration.  (The
\code{Any} comes from using the same parser as in
Chapter~\ref{ch:Rdyn}.)  The presence of a type declaration
enables the use of an \code{All} type for a function, thereby making
it polymorphic. The grammar for types is extended to include
polymorphic types and type variables.

By including polymorphic types in the $\Type$ non-terminal we choose
to make them first-class which has interesting repercussions on the
compiler. Many languages with polymorphism, such as
C++~\citep{stroustrup88:_param_types} and Standard
ML~\citep{Milner:1990fk}, only support second-class polymorphism, so
it is useful to see an example of first-class polymorphism. In
Figure~\ref{fig:apply-twice} we define a function \code{apply-twice}
whose parameter is a polymorphic function. The occurrence of a
polymorphic type underneath a function type is enabled by the normal
recursive structure of the grammar for $\Type$ and the categorization
of the \code{All} type as a $\Type$.  The body of \code{apply-twice}
applies the polymorphic function to a Boolean and to an integer.

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(: apply-twice ((All (b) (b -> b)) -> Integer))
(define (apply-twice f)
  (if (f #t) (f 42) (f 777)))

(: id (All (a) (a -> a)))
(define (id x) x)

(apply-twice id)
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{An example illustrating first-class polymorphism.}
\label{fig:apply-twice}
\end{figure}

The type checker for \LangPoly{} in Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rvar0} has
three new responsibilities (compared to \LangLoop{}). The type checking of
function application is extended to handle the case where the operator
expression is a polymorphic function. In that case the type arguments
are deduced by matching the type of the parameters with the types of
the arguments.
%
The \code{match-types} auxiliary function carries out this deduction
by recursively descending through a parameter type \code{pt} and the
corresponding argument type \code{at}, making sure that they are equal
except when there is a type parameter on the left (in the parameter
type). If it's the first time that the type parameter has been
encountered, then the algorithm deduces an association of the type
parameter to the corresponding type on the right (in the argument
type). If it's not the first time that the type parameter has been
encountered, the algorithm looks up its deduced type and makes sure
that it is equal to the type on the right.
%
Once the type arguments are deduced, the operator expression is
wrapped in an \code{Inst} AST node (for instantiate) that records the
type of the operator, but more importantly, records the deduced type
arguments. The return type of the application is the return type of
the polymorphic function, but with the type parameters replaced by the
deduced type arguments, using the \code{subst-type} function.

The second responsibility of the type checker is extending the
function \code{type-equal?} to handle the \code{All} type.  This is
not quite a simple as equal on other types, such as function and
vector types, because two polymorphic types can be syntactically
different even though they are equivalent types. For example,
\code{(All (a) (a -> a))} is equivalent to \code{(All (b) (b -> b))}.
Two polymorphic types should be considered equal if they differ only
in the choice of the names of the type parameters. The
\code{type-equal?} function in Figure~\ref{fig:type-check-Rvar0-aux}
renames the type parameters of the first type to match the type
parameters of the second type.

The third responsibility of the type checker is making sure that only
defined type variables appear in type annotations. The
\code{check-well-formed} function defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:well-formed-types} recursively inspects a type, making
sure that each type variable has been defined.

The output language of the type checker is \LangInst{}, defined in
Figure~\ref{fig:Rpoly-prime-syntax}. The type checker combines the type
declaration and polymorphic function into a single definition, using
the \code{Poly} form, to make polymorphic functions more convenient to
process in next pass of the compiler.

\section{Compiling Polymorphism}
\label{sec:compiling-poly}

Broadly speaking, there are four approaches to compiling parametric
polymorphism, which we describe below.

\begin{description}
\item[Monomorphization] generates a different version of a polymorphic
  function for each set of type arguments that it is used with,
  producing type-specialized code. This approach results in the most
  efficient code but requires whole-program compilation (no separate
  compilation) and increases code size. For our current purposes
  monomorphization is a non-starter because, with first-class
  polymorphism, it is sometimes not possible to determine which
  generic functions are used with which type arguments during
  compilation. (It can be done at runtime, with just-in-time
  compilation.) This approach is used to compile C++
  templates~\citep{stroustrup88:_param_types} and polymorphic
  functions in NESL~\citep{Blelloch:1993aa} and
  ML~\citep{Weeks:2006aa}.
  
\item[Uniform representation] generates one version of each
  polymorphic function but requires all values have a common ``boxed''
  format, such as the tagged values of type \code{Any} in
  \LangAny{}. Non-polymorphic code (i.e. monomorphic code) is compiled
  similarly to code in a dynamically typed language (like \LangDyn{}),
  in which primitive operators require their arguments to be projected
  from \code{Any} and their results are injected into \code{Any}.  (In
  object-oriented languages, the projection is accomplished via
  virtual method dispatch.) The uniform representation approach is
  compatible with separate compilation and with first-class
  polymorphism.  However, it produces the least-efficient code because
  it introduces overhead in the entire program, including
  non-polymorphic code. This approach is used in implementations of
  CLU~\cite{liskov79:_clu_ref,Liskov:1993dk},
  ML~\citep{Cardelli:1984aa,Appel:1987aa}, and
  Java~\citep{Bracha:1998fk}.
  
\item[Mixed representation] generates one version of each polymorphic
  function, using a boxed representation for type
  variables. Monomorphic code is compiled as usual (as in \LangLoop{})
  and conversions are performed at the boundaries between monomorphic
  and polymorphic (e.g. when a polymorphic function is instantiated
  and called). This approach is compatible with separate compilation
  and first-class polymorphism and maintains the efficiency of
  monomorphic code. The tradeoff is increased overhead at the boundary
  between monomorphic and polymorphic code.  This approach is used in
  implementations of ML~\citep{Leroy:1992qb} and Java, starting in
  Java 5 with the addition of autoboxing.
  
\item[Type passing] uses the unboxed representation in both
  monomorphic and polymorphic code. Each polymorphic function is
  compiled to a single function with extra parameters that describe
  the type arguments. The type information is used by the generated
  code to know how to access the unboxed values at runtime. This
  approach is used in implementation of the Napier88
  language~\citep{Morrison:1991aa} and ML~\citep{Harper:1995um}.  Type
  passing is compatible with separate compilation and first-class
  polymorphism and maintains the efficiency for monomorphic
  code. There is runtime overhead in polymorphic code from dispatching
  on type information.
\end{description}

In this chapter we use the mixed representation approach, partly
because of its favorable attributes, and partly because it is
straightforward to implement using the tools that we have already
built to support gradual typing. To compile polymorphic functions, we
add just one new pass, \code{erase-types}, to compile \LangInst{} to
\LangCast{}.

\section{Erase Types}
\label{sec:erase-types}

We use the \code{Any} type from Chapter~\ref{ch:Rdyn} to
represent type variables. For example, Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-erase}
shows the output of the \code{erase-types} pass on the polymorphic
\code{map-vec} (Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-poly}). The occurrences of
type parameter \code{a} are replaced by \code{Any} and the polymorphic
\code{All} types are removed from the type of \code{map-vec}. 

\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{lstlisting}
(define (map-vec [f : (Any -> Any)] [v : (Vector Any Any)])
                   : (Vector Any Any)
  (vector (f (vector-ref v 0)) (f (vector-ref v 1))))

(define (add1 [x : Integer]) : Integer (+ x 1))

(vector-ref ((cast map-vec
                     ((Any -> Any) (Vector Any Any) -> (Vector Any Any))  
                     ((Integer -> Integer) (Vector Integer Integer)
                               -> (Vector Integer Integer)))
             add1 (vector 0 41)) 1)
\end{lstlisting}
\caption{The polymorphic \code{map-vec} example after type erasure.}
\label{fig:map-vec-erase}
\end{figure}

This process of type erasure creates a challenge at points of
instantiation. For example, consider the instantiation of
\code{map-vec} in Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-type-check}.
The type of \code{map-vec} is
\begin{lstlisting}
(All (a) ((a -> a) (Vector a a) -> (Vector a a)))
\end{lstlisting}
and it is instantiated to 
\begin{lstlisting}
((Integer -> Integer) (Vector Integer Integer)
   -> (Vector Integer Integer))
\end{lstlisting}
After erasure, the type of \code{map-vec} is
\begin{lstlisting}
((Any -> Any) (Vector Any Any) -> (Vector Any Any))
\end{lstlisting}
but we need to convert it to the instantiated type.  This is easy to
do in the target language \LangCast{} with a single \code{cast}.  In
Figure~\ref{fig:map-vec-erase}, the instantiation of \code{map-vec}
has been compiled to a \code{cast} from the type of \code{map-vec} to
the instantiated type. The source and target type of a cast must be
consistent (Figure~\ref{fig:consistent}), which indeed is the case
because both the source and target are obtained from the same
polymorphic type of \code{map-vec}, replacing the type parameters with
\code{Any} in the former and with the deduced type arguments in the
later. (Recall that the \code{Any} type is consistent with any type.)

To implement the \code{erase-types} pass, we recommend defining a
recursive auxiliary function named \code{erase-type} that applies the
following two transformations. It replaces type variables with
\code{Any}
\begin{lstlisting}
|$x$|
|$\Rightarrow$|
Any
\end{lstlisting}
and it removes the polymorphic \code{All} types.
\begin{lstlisting}
(All |$xs$| |$T_1$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
|$T'_1$|
\end{lstlisting}
Apply the \code{erase-type} function to all of the type annotations in
the program.

Regarding the translation of expressions, the case for \code{Inst} is
the interesting one. We translate it into a \code{Cast}, as shown
below. The type of the subexpression $e$ is the polymorphic type
$\LP\key{All} xs T\RP$. The source type of the cast is the erasure of
$T$, the type $T'$. The target type $T''$ is the result of
substituting the arguments types $ts$ for the type parameters $xs$ in
$T$ followed by doing type erasure.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Inst |$e$| (All |$xs$| |$T$|) |$ts$|)
|$\Rightarrow$|
(Cast |$e'$| |$T'$| |$T''$|)
\end{lstlisting}
where $T'' = \LP\code{erase-type}~\LP\code{subst-type}~s~T\RP\RP$
and $s = \LP\code{map}~\code{cons}~xs~ts\RP$.

Finally, each polymorphic function is translated to a regular
functions in which type erasure has been applied to all the type
annotations and the body.
\begin{lstlisting}
(Poly |$ts$| (Def |$f$| ([|$x_1$| : |$T_1$|] |$\ldots$|) |$T_r$| |$\itm{info}$| |$e$|))
|$\Rightarrow$|          
(Def |$f$| ([|$x_1$| : |$T'_1$|] |$\ldots$|) |$T'_r$| |$\itm{info}$| |$e'$|)
\end{lstlisting}

\begin{exercise}\normalfont
  Implement a compiler for the polymorphic language \LangPoly{} by
  extending and adapting your compiler for \LangGrad{}. Create 6 new test
  programs that use polymorphic functions. Some of them should make
  use of first-class polymorphism.

\chapter{Appendix}

\section{Interpreters}
\label{appendix:interp}
\index{subject}{interpreter}

We provide interpreters for each of the source languages \LangInt{},
\LangVar{}, $\ldots$ in the files \code{interp-Rint.rkt},
\code{interp-Rvar.rkt}, etc.  The interpreters for the intermediate
languages \LangCVar{} and \LangCIf{} are in \code{interp-Cvar.rkt} and
\code{interp-C1.rkt}.  The interpreters for \LangCVec{}, \LangCFun{}, pseudo-x86,
and x86 are in the \key{interp.rkt} file.

\section{Utility Functions}
\label{appendix:utilities}

The utility functions described in this section are in the
\key{utilities.rkt} file of the support code.

\paragraph{\code{interp-tests}}

The \key{interp-tests} function runs the compiler passes and the
interpreters on each of the specified tests to check whether each pass
is correct. The \key{interp-tests} function has the following
parameters:
\begin{description}
\item[name (a string)] a name to identify the compiler,
\item[typechecker] a function of exactly one argument that either
  raises an error using the \code{error} function when it encounters a
  type error, or returns \code{\#f} when it encounters a type
  error. If there is no type error, the type checker returns the
  program.

\item[passes] a list with one entry per pass.  An entry is a list with
  four things:
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item a string giving the name of the pass,
  \item the function that implements the pass (a translator from AST
    to AST),
  \item a function that implements the interpreter (a function from
    AST to result value) for the output language,
  \item and a type checker for the output language.  Type checkers for
    the $R$ and $C$ languages are provided in the support code.  For
    example, the type checkers for \LangVar{} and \LangCVar{} are in
    \code{type-check-Rvar.rkt} and \code{type-check-Cvar.rkt}. The
    type checker entry is optional.  The support code does not provide
    type checkers for the x86 languages.
  \end{enumerate}

\item[source-interp] an interpreter for the source language. The
  interpreters from Appendix~\ref{appendix:interp} make a good choice.
  
\item[test-family (a string)] for example, \code{"r1"}, \code{"r2"}, etc.
\item[tests] a list of test numbers that specifies which tests to
  run. (see below)
\end{description}
%
The \key{interp-tests} function assumes that the subdirectory
\key{tests} has a collection of Racket programs whose names all start
with the family name, followed by an underscore and then the test
number, ending with the file extension \key{.rkt}. Also, for each test
program that calls \code{read} one or more times, there is a file with
the same name except that the file extension is \key{.in} that
provides the input for the Racket program. If the test program is
expected to fail type checking, then there should be an empty file of
the same name but with extension \key{.tyerr}.


\paragraph{\code{compiler-tests}}

runs the compiler passes to generate x86 (a \key{.s} file) and then
runs the GNU C compiler (gcc) to generate machine code.  It runs the
machine code and checks that the output is $42$. The parameters to the
\code{compiler-tests} function are similar to those of the
\code{interp-tests} function, and consist of
\begin{itemize}
\item a compiler name (a string),
\item a type checker,
\item description of the passes,
\item name of a test-family, and
\item a list of test numbers.
\end{itemize}


\paragraph{\code{compile-file}}

takes a description of the compiler passes (see the comment for
\key{interp-tests}) and returns a function that, given a program file
name (a string ending in \key{.rkt}), applies all of the passes and
writes the output to a file whose name is the same as the program file
name but with \key{.rkt} replaced with \key{.s}.


\paragraph{\code{read-program}}

takes a file path and parses that file (it must be a Racket program)
into an abstract syntax tree.

\paragraph{\code{parse-program}}

takes an S-expression representation of an abstract syntax tree and converts it into
the struct-based representation.

\paragraph{\code{assert}}

takes two parameters, a string (\code{msg}) and Boolean (\code{bool}),
and displays the message \key{msg} if the Boolean \key{bool} is false.

\paragraph{\code{lookup}}

% remove discussion of lookup? -Jeremy
takes a key and an alist, and returns the first value that is

\section{x86 Instruction Set Quick-Reference}
\label{sec:x86-quick-reference}
\index{subject}{x86}

Table~\ref{tab:x86-instr} lists some x86 instructions and what they
do. We write $A \to B$ to mean that the value of $A$ is written into
location $B$.  Address offsets are given in bytes. The instruction
arguments $A, B, C$ can be immediate constants (such as \code{\$4}),
registers (such as \code{\%rax}), or memory references (such as
\code{-4(\%ebp)}). Most x86 instructions only allow at most one memory
reference per instruction.  Other operands must be immediates or
registers.
