The would leave only the bare minimum +language surface exposed, together with the custom syntax that is tailor-designed for +the scenario. + +A [keyword] or [operator] that is disabled can still be used in a custom syntax. + +In an extreme case, it is possible to disable _every_ [keyword] in the language, leaving only +custom syntax (plus possibly expressions).

+``` +~~~ + + +TL;DR +----- + +```admonish question "How is it actually implemented?" + +The actual implementation of closures de-sugars to: + +1. Keeping track of what [variables] are accessed inside the [anonymous function], + +2. If a [variable] is not defined within the [anonymous function's][anonymous function] scope, + it is looked up _outside_ the [function] and in the current execution scope – + where the [anonymous function] is created. + +3. The [variable] is added to the parameters list of the [anonymous function], at the front. + +4. The [variable] is then converted into a **reference-counted shared value**. + + An [anonymous function] which captures an external [variable] is the only way to create a + reference-counted shared value in Rhai. + +5. The shared value is then [curried][currying] into the [function pointer] itself, + essentially carrying a reference to that shared value and inserting it into future calls of the [function]. + + This process is called _Automatic Currying_, and is the mechanism through which Rhai simulates closures. +``` + +```admonish question "Why automatic currying?" + +In concept, a closure _closes_ over captured variables from the outer scope – that's why +they are called _closures_. When this happen, a typical language implementation hoists +those variables that are captured away from the stack frame and into heap-allocated storage. +This is because those variables may be needed after the stack frame goes away. + +These heap-allocated captured variables only go away when all the closures that need them +are finished with them. A garbage collector makes this trivial to implement – they are +automatically collected as soon as all closures needing them are destroyed. + +In Rust, this can be done by reference counting instead, with the potential pitfall of creating +reference loops that will prevent those variables from being deallocated forever. +Rhai avoids this by clone-copying most data values, so reference loops are hard to create. + +Rhai does the hoisting of captured variables into the heap by converting those values +into reference-counted locked values, also allocated on the heap. The process is identical. + +Closures are usually implemented as a data structure containing two items: + +1. A function pointer to the function body of the closure, +2. A data structure containing references to the captured shared variables on the heap. + +Usually a language implementation passes the structure containing references to captured +shared variables into the function pointer, the function body taking this data structure +as an additional parameter. + +This is essentially what Rhai does, except that Rhai passes each variable individually +as separate parameters to the function, instead of creating a structure and passing that +structure as a single parameter. This is the only difference. + +Therefore, in most languages, essentially all closures are implemented as automatic currying of +shared variables hoisted into the heap, automatically passing those variables as parameters into +the function. Rhai just brings this directly up to the front. +``` diff --git a/rhai_engine/rhaibook/language/fn-curry.md b/rhai_engine/rhaibook/language/fn-curry.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..348fd10 --- /dev/null +++ b/rhai_engine/rhaibook/language/fn-curry.md @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +Function Pointer Currying +========================= + +{{#include ../links.md}} + +It is possible to _curry_ a [function pointer] by providing partial (or all) arguments. + +Currying is done via the `curry` keyword and produces a new [function pointer] which carries +the curried arguments. + +When the curried [function pointer] is called, the curried arguments are inserted starting from the _left_. + +The actual call arguments should be reduced by the number of curried arguments. + +```rust +fn mul(x, y) { // function with two parameters + x * y +} + +let func = mul; // <- de-sugars to 'Fn("mul")' + +func.call(21, 2) == 42; // two arguments are required for 'mul' + +let curried = func.curry(21); // currying produces a new function pointer which + // carries 21 as the first argument + +let curried = curry(func, 21); // function-call style also works + +curried.call(2) == 42; // <- de-sugars to 'func.call(21, 2)' + // only one argument is now required +``` diff --git a/rhai_engine/rhaibook/language/fn-metadata.md b/rhai_engine/rhaibook/language/fn-metadata.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5ea9ec9 --- /dev/null +++ b/rhai_engine/rhaibook/language/fn-metadata.md @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ +Get Functions Metadata in Scripts +================================= + +{{#include ../links.md}} + +The built-in function `get_fn_metadata_list` returns an [array] of [object maps], each containing +the metadata of one script-defined [function] in scope. + +`get_fn_metadata_list` is defined in the [`LanguageCorePackage`][built-in packages], which is +excluded when using a [raw `Engine`]. + +`get_fn_metadata_list` has a few versions taking different parameters: + +| Signature | Description | +| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | +| `get_fn_metadata_list()` | returns an [array] for _all_ script-defined [functions] | +| `get_fn_metadata_list(name)` | returns an [array] containing all script-defined [functions] matching a specified name | +| `get_fn_metadata_list(name, params)` | returns an [array] containing all script-defined [functions] matching a specified name and accepting the specified number of parameters | + +[Functions] from the following sources are returned, in order: + +1.

That is because each type has a different ID, and thus they calculate to +different hash numbers. + +This is the reason why [generic functions](generic.md) must be expanded into concrete types. + +The type ID of [`Dynamic`] is different from any other type, but it must match all types seamlessly. +Needless to say, this creates a slight problem. + +#### Trying combinations + +If the combined hash calculated from the actual argument type ID's is not found, then the [`Engine`] +calculates hashes for different _combinations_ of argument types and [`Dynamic`], systematically +replacing different arguments with [`Dynamic`] _starting from the right-most parameter_. + +Thus, assuming a three-argument function call: + +~~~rust +foo(42, "hello", true); +~~~ + +The following hashes will be calculated, in order. +They will be _all different_. + +| Order | Hash calculation method | +| :---: | --------------------------------------------------- | +| 1 | `foo` + 3 + `i64` + `string` + `bool` | +| 2 | `foo` + 3 + `i64` + `string` + [`Dynamic`] | +| 3 | `foo` + 3 + `i64` + [`Dynamic`] + `bool` | +| 4 | `foo` + 3 + `i64` + [`Dynamic`] + [`Dynamic`] | +| 5 | `foo` + 3 + [`Dynamic`] + `string` + `bool` | +| 6 | `foo` + 3 + [`Dynamic`] + `string` + [`Dynamic`] | +| 7 | `foo` + 3 + [`Dynamic`] + [`Dynamic`] + `bool` | +| 8 | `foo` + 3 + [`Dynamic`] + [`Dynamic`] + [`Dynamic`] | + +Therefore, the version with all the correct parameter types will always be found first if it exists. + +At soon as a hash is found, the process stops. + +Otherwise, it goes on for up to 16 arguments, or at most 65,536 tries. +That's where the 16 parameters limit comes from. +``` + +```admonish question "What?!

+------------------- + +Opt out of as many features as possible, if they are not needed, to reduce code size because, +remember, by default all code is compiled into the final binary since what a script requires cannot +be predicted. If a language feature will never be needed, omitting it is a prudent strategy to +optimize the build for size. + +Removing the script [optimizer][script optimization] ([`no_optimize`]) yields a sizable code saving, +at the expense of a less efficient script. + +Omitting [arrays] ([`no_index`]) yields the most code-size savings, followed by floating-point support +([`no_float`]), safety checks ([`unchecked`]) and finally [object maps] and [custom types] ([`no_object`]). + +Where the usage scenario does not call for loading externally-defined modules, use [`no_module`] to +save some bytes. Disable script-defined functions ([`no_function`]) and possibly closures +([`no_closure`]) when the features are not needed.

It is cheap to clone, but expensive to modify +(a new copy of the string must be made in order to change it). + +Therefore, functions taking `String` parameters should use [`ImmutableString`] or `&str` +(maps to [`ImmutableString`]) for the best performance with Rhai. + + +Disable Capturing in Closures +----------------------------- + +```admonish info.side "Anonymous functions still work" + +[Anonymous functions] continue to work even under [`no_closure`]. + +Only capturing of external shared [variables] is disabled. +``` + +Support for [closures] that capture _shared_ [variables] adds material overhead to script evaluation. + +This is because every data access must be checked whether it is a shared value and, if so, +take a read lock before reading it. + +As the vast majority of [variables] are _not_ shared, needless to say this is a non-trivial +performance overhead. + +Use [`no_closure`] to disable support for [closures] to optimize the hot path because it no longer +needs to take locks for shared data. + + +Disable Position +---------------- + +For embedded scripts that are not expected to cause errors, the [`no_position`] feature can be used +to disable position tracking during parsing. + +No line number/character position information is kept for error reporting purposes. + +This may result in a slightly fast build due to elimination of code related to position tracking. + + +Avoid Cloning +------------- + +### Use `&mut` functions + +Rhai values are typically _cloned_ when passed around, especially into [function] calls. +Large data structures may incur material cloning overhead. + +Some functions accept the first parameter as a mutable reference (i.e. `&mut`), for example +_methods_ for [custom types], and may avoid potentially-costly cloning. + +### Compound assignment + +For example, the `+=` (append) compound assignment takes a mutable reference to the [variable] while +the corresponding `+` (add) assignment usually doesn't.
