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