# Important Notes
#### The Plot
- there used to be two kinds of benchmarks: in Java and in Enso
- those in Java got quite a good treatment
- there even are results updated daily: https://enso-org.github.io/engine-benchmark-results/
- the benchmarks written in Enso used to be 2nd class citizen
#### The Revelation
This PR has the potential to fix it all!
- It designs new [Bench API](88fd6fb988) ready for non-batch execution
- It allows for _single benchmark in a dedicated JVM_ execution
- It provides a simple way to wrap such an Enso benchmark as a Java benchmark
- thus the results of Enso and Java benchmarks are [now unified](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/pull/7101#discussion_r1257504440)
Long live _single benchmarking infrastructure for Java and Enso_!

# Runtime (Engine) debugging
|
|
|
|
This section explains how to debug various parts of the Engine. By Engine, we
|
|
mean all the Java code located in the `runtime` SBT project, in `engine`
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging source file evaluation
|
|
|
|
This subsection provides a guide how to debug a single Enso source file
|
|
evaluation. To evaluate a single source file, we use the _Engine distribution_
|
|
built with `buildEngineDistribution` command. Both of the following two options
|
|
starts the JVM in a debug mode. After the JVM is started in a debug mode, simply
|
|
attach the debugger to the JVM process at the specified port.
|
|
|
|
The first option is to invoke the engine distribution from SBT shell with:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sbt:enso> runEngineDistribution --debug --run ./test/Tests/src/Data/Numbers_Spec.enso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The second options is to pass in special JVM arguments when launching the
|
|
`bin/enso` from the engine distribution:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
enso$ JAVA_OPTS=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,address=5005 ./built-distribution/enso-engine-*/enso-*/bin/enso --run ./test/Tests/src/Data/Numbers_Spec.enso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Tips and tricks
|
|
|
|
There is no simple mapping of the Enso source code to the engine's Java code, so
|
|
if you try to debug a specific expression, it might be a bit tricky. However,
|
|
the following steps should help you to skip all the irrelevant code and get to
|
|
the code you are interested in:
|
|
|
|
- To debug a method called `foo`, put a breakpoint in
|
|
`org.enso.interpreter.node.ClosureRootNode#execute` with a condition on
|
|
`this.name.contains("foo")`
|
|
- To debug a specific expression, put some _unique_ expression, like
|
|
`Debug.eval "1+1"`, in front of it and put a breakpoint in a Truffle node
|
|
corresponding to that unique expression, in this case that is
|
|
`org.enso.interpreter.node.expression.builtin.debug.DebugEvalNode`.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging annotation processors
|
|
|
|
The Engine uses annotation processors to generate some of the Java code, e.g.,
|
|
the builtin methods with `org.enso.interpreter.dsl.MethodProcessor`, or JMH
|
|
benchmark sources with `org.enso.benchmarks.processor.BenchProcessor`.
|
|
Annotation processors are invoked by the Java compiler (`javac`), therefore, we
|
|
need special instructions to attach the debugger to them.
|
|
|
|
Let's debug `org.enso.interpreter.dsl.MethodProcessor` as an example. The
|
|
following are the commands invoked in the `sbt` shell:
|
|
|
|
- `project runtime`
|
|
- `clean`
|
|
- Delete all the compiled class files along with all the generated sources by
|
|
the annotation processor. This ensures that the annotation processor will be
|
|
invoked.
|
|
- `set javacOptions += FrgaalJavaCompiler.debugArg`
|
|
- This sets a special flag that is passed to the frgaal Java compiler, which
|
|
in turn waits for the debugger to attach. Note that this setting is not
|
|
persisted and will be reset once the project is reloaded.
|
|
- `compile`
|
|
- Launches the Java compiler, which will wait for the debugger to attach. Put
|
|
a breakpoint in some class of `org.enso.interpreter.dsl` package. Wait for
|
|
the message in the console instructing to attach the debugger.
|
|
- To reset the `javacOptions` setting, either run
|
|
`set javacOptions -= FrgaalJavaCompiler.debugArg`, or reload the project with
|
|
`reload`.
