Currently, range loops over slices and arrays are compiled roughly like: for i, x := range s { b } ⇓ for i, _n, _p := 0, len(s), &s[0]; i < _n; i, _p = i+1, _p + unsafe.Sizeof(s[0]) { b } ⇓ i, _n, _p := 0, len(s), &s[0] goto cond body: { b } i, _p = i+1, _p + unsafe.Sizeof(s[0]) cond: if i < _n { goto body } else { goto end } end: The problem with this lowering is that _p may temporarily point past the end of the allocation the moment before the loop terminates. Right now this isn't a problem because there's never a safe-point during this brief moment. We're about to introduce safe-points everywhere, so this bad pointer is going to be a problem. We could mark the increment as an unsafe block, but this inhibits reordering opportunities and could result in infrequent safe-points if the body is short. Instead, this CL fixes this by changing how we compile range loops to never produce this past-the-end pointer. It changes the lowering to roughly: i, _n, _p := 0, len(s), &s[0] if i < _n { goto body } else { goto end } top: _p += unsafe.Sizeof(s[0]) body: { b } i++ if i < _n { goto top } else { goto end } end: Notably, the increment is split into two parts: we increment the index before checking the condition, but increment the pointer only *after* the condition check has succeeded. The implementation builds on the OFORUNTIL construct that was introduced during the loop preemption experiments, since OFORUNTIL places the increment and condition after the loop body. To support the extra "late increment" step, we further define OFORUNTIL's "List" field to contain the late increment statements. This makes all of this a relatively small change. This depends on the improvements to the prove pass in CL 102603. With the current lowering, bounds-check elimination knows that i < _n in the body because the body block is dominated by the cond block. In the new lowering, deriving this fact requires detecting that i < _n on *both* paths into body and hence is true in body. CL 102603 made prove able to detect this. The code size effect of this is minimal. The cmd/go binary on linux/amd64 increases by 0.17%. Performance-wise, this actually appears to be a net win, though it's mostly noise: name old time/op new time/op delta BinaryTree17-12 2.80s ± 0% 2.61s ± 1% -6.88% (p=0.000 n=20+18) Fannkuch11-12 2.41s ± 0% 2.42s ± 0% +0.05% (p=0.005 n=20+20) FmtFprintfEmpty-12 41.6ns ± 5% 41.4ns ± 6% ~ (p=0.765 n=20+19) FmtFprintfString-12 69.4ns ± 3% 69.3ns ± 1% ~ (p=0.084 n=19+17) FmtFprintfInt-12 76.1ns ± 1% 77.3ns ± 1% +1.57% (p=0.000 n=19+19) FmtFprintfIntInt-12 122ns ± 2% 123ns ± 3% +0.95% (p=0.015 n=20+20) FmtFprintfPrefixedInt-12 153ns ± 2% 151ns ± 3% -1.27% (p=0.013 n=20+20) FmtFprintfFloat-12 215ns ± 0% 216ns ± 0% +0.47% (p=0.000 n=20+16) FmtManyArgs-12 486ns ± 1% 498ns ± 0% +2.40% (p=0.000 n=20+17) GobDecode-12 6.43ms ± 0% 6.50ms ± 0% +1.08% (p=0.000 n=18+19) GobEncode-12 5.43ms ± 1% 5.47ms ± 0% +0.76% (p=0.000 n=20+20) Gzip-12 218ms ± 1% 218ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.883 n=20+20) Gunzip-12 38.8ms ± 0% 38.9ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.644 n=19+19) HTTPClientServer-12 76.2µs ± 1% 76.4µs ± 2% ~ (p=0.218 n=20+20) JSONEncode-12 12.2ms ± 0% 12.3ms ± 1% +0.45% (p=0.000 n=19+19) JSONDecode-12 54.2ms ± 1% 53.3ms ± 0% -1.67% (p=0.000 n=20+20) Mandelbrot200-12 3.71ms ± 0% 3.71ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.143 n=19+20) GoParse-12 3.22ms ± 0% 3.19ms ± 1% -0.72% (p=0.000 n=20+20) RegexpMatchEasy0_32-12 76.7ns ± 1% 75.8ns ± 1% -1.19% (p=0.000 n=20+17) RegexpMatchEasy0_1K-12 245ns ± 1% 243ns ± 0% -0.72% (p=0.000 n=18+17) RegexpMatchEasy1_32-12 71.9ns ± 0% 71.7ns ± 1% -0.39% (p=0.006 n=12+18) RegexpMatchEasy1_1K-12 358ns ± 1% 354ns ± 1% -1.13% (p=0.000 n=20+19) RegexpMatchMedium_32-12 105ns ± 2% 105ns ± 1% -0.63% (p=0.007 n=19+20) RegexpMatchMedium_1K-12 31.9µs ± 1% 31.9µs ± 1% ~ (p=1.000 n=17+17) RegexpMatchHard_32-12 1.51µs ± 1% 1.52µs ± 2% +0.46% (p=0.042 n=18+18) RegexpMatchHard_1K-12 45.3µs ± 1% 45.5µs ± 2% +0.44% (p=0.029 n=18+19) Revcomp-12 388ms ± 1% 385ms ± 0% -0.57% (p=0.000 n=19+18) Template-12 63.0ms ± 1% 63.3ms ± 0% +0.50% (p=0.000 n=19+20) TimeParse-12 309ns ± 1% 307ns ± 0% -0.62% (p=0.000 n=20+20) TimeFormat-12 328ns ± 0% 333ns ± 0% +1.35% (p=0.000 n=19+19) [Geo mean] 47.0µs 46.9µs -0.20% (https://perf.golang.org/search?q=upload:20180326.1) For #10958.
