[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2898 bytes --]
I've been working on a portable dumper for GNU Emacs. The attached patch
is an early version of this work. I'll write up all the usual NEWS
entries, changelogs, and (in this case necessary) dedicated
documentation before I land it. I want to start getting review comments
now that the code has roughly its final shape.
The point of this gargantuan patch is that we can rip out our unexec
implementations and replace them with loading a data file that contains
an Emacs heap image. There are no dependencies on executable rewriting,
disabling ASLR, or saving and restoring internal malloc state. This
system works with fully position-independent executables and with any
malloc implementation.
Basically, there's a new dump-emacs-portable function that walks the
Emacs heap and writes the data, along with necessary relocation, to a
file called emacs.pdmp. On startup, early in main, we find emacs.pdmp
and load it. Once we've loaded the file, we walk the list of relocations
contained in the dump and adjust it to account for the runtime locations
of Emacs and the dump data (neither of which we know in advance in a PIE
world.)
There are a few subtleties: I've carefully designed the file format to
be mmap-able and to minimize the number of on-demand copies the system
makes while accessing this file. For example, we stick bool-vectors and
string data at the end of the dump in a contiguous block. We follow this
block with the relocations, which we can throw away as soon as we've
used them.
An additional optimization follows, although this part isn't implemented
yet: we can define a "preferred load address" for the dump and write
relocation information such that if the dump and Emacs end up being
where we expect them to be, we don't have to perform any relocations at all.
The system gracefully degrades though. If we can't use mmap or whatever
on a given platform, it's possible to just slurp the whole file into a
malloced region of memory and access it from there. This approach would
benefit from compression, which will reduce IO loads: LZ4 reduces the
dump size for me from ~12MB to ~4MB. As in the mmap case, we can throw away
The code isn't even close to optimized yet --- I've only tested it at
-O0, defined GC_CHECK_MARKED_OBJECTS, and not yet inlined
frequently-called functions pdumper.h --- but even so, it's within 100ms
or so of an unexeced Emacs.
It's also possible to dump an already-dumped Emacs, so it should be
possible for users to have their own dump files.
If we want to preserve the current model of a single "emacs" executable
that contains itself, we can embed emacs.pdmp inside the emacs
executable data section pretty easily. There's no behavior change involved.
If you want to try this code, build CANNOT_DUMP=1, run ./temacs -l
loadup pdump, then ./emacs (or if that doesn't work, ./emacs
--dump-file=emacs.pdmp).

Excellent idea and good work. Will this also allow for the dumping of Emacs at arbitrary time after it’s been run, or will there still be issues with that?

In theory. In practice, I want to roll out this work gradually. Step one
is to land it and keep it off by default --- we don't have to stop using
unexec just because we want to experiment with a portable dumper.
Later, we'll enable the portable dumper by default, but as an unexec
replacement, and keep unexec around. Once this arrangement works for a
few releases, we can delete unexec and talk about dumping at later
points in Emacs execution history.

Thanks for your efforts, but I think this is a wrong direction, that
will eventually get us into the same problem we have with unexec: the
need to know and depend on intimate details of relocations, memory
allocation, etc. On top of that, adding Lisp objects will now require
writing its dumper back-end, so this will be a constant maintenance
burden of the kind that only a few of us can bear.
Making the initial load of preloaded Lisp files (most probably, a
single large file) fast enough to allow us to dump the dumping phase
altogether is a much more perspective direction.

That's what this work does. If we disagree, that's a shame. I feel
strongly enough about this issue to fork over it.

Also, this work *exists*. I don't see anyone signing up to implement the
giant elc approach, which *I* believe is fundamentally the wrong direction.

Is there a way to get away from such a requirement, Eli? If unexec becomes
untenable in the future, is there an alternative that doesn't place the burden
upon us to encode the right amount of information in the dumped file?
If I understand Daniel's contribution, he's proposing the equivalent of a
program loader for Emacs Lisp byte-code, stored within what amounts to a
custom object file format.

If the proposed dumper works reliably and quickly and portably, Emacs
should be in a significantly better place than it is now. So in that
sense this is not the wrong direction.
Perhaps you're right and making lread faster would work better. However,
nobody has implemented that. If someone does implement it we can switch
to it later, regardless of whether we use the proposed dumper in the
meantime.

Yes --- one that *we* control, which frees us from changes to underlying
systems. Yes, the thing has intimate knowledge of Lisp_Object internals,
but whoever changes those internals (and these changes are rare) can
change the dumper too.

Then the difference between .elc and this new -- .eld? -- would be exactly
what? Relocation information to speed up load time?
I'm just wondering: if it's strictly a speed gain, then is there any other way
to achieve it; if it's a functionality gain, what are the advantages over just
speeding up .elc loading.
Thanks for doing this work, btw!! The value of your exploration is not lost on
me, since you've now made a concrete alternative for us to consider. If the
differences in approach are small enough, there's no reason we can't change
our minds yet again in the future. This is a purely internal matter, after
all.

Don't be ridiculous. Emacs is not my pet project. You just need a
new maintainer, that's all. Because if Emacs is going in a direction
to which I object, I definitely cannot be it.

Yes, by loading Lisp code directly.

No, it's not only the byte code, its the entire state of Emacs after
loading that byte code and initializing variables and subroutines not
in Lisp. IOW, all of the Lisp objects in the entire heap, no matter
where they came from.

The dump can be used as-is without preparation, particularly if it loads
at its desired base address. Reading an ELC requires lots of parsing,
interning, and allocation of various sorts. It also prohibits any kind
of data sharing between differences instances of Emacs on the same
system, while I expect about a third to half of these dumps to be shared.
It's also possible to dump arbitrarily already-loaded Emacs processes,
which you don't get with a merged ELC, so that's a functionality difference.
If Lisp layout changes in the future, it's very easy to adjust pdumper
to match. It's really not a big maintenance burden; read the code.

I'm not going to argue. If enough people think I'm mistaken and want
to go the portable dumper way, I will resign right here and now. It
is very easy to convince me to step down, because I hesitated to take
this job to begin with.
Your call, crowd.

It sounds like it disconnects the internal unexec format from the underlying system, which could be a good portability gain. It also allows the emacs executable to load different core runtimes and would make the initial binary quite a bit smaller, if I understand correctly.
This type of patch seems like a good move to me and pulls it closer to almost every CL implementation out there.

You can dump a running process and have it come back exactly, GUI and everything? That would be a godsend, but given the dependency on lower level libraries written in C, I’m having a hard time seeing how this would work.

Frame and window objects come back dead after being restored from the dump. Buffers are intact though. If you want to preserve window configuration, you can layer saving and restoring of layout on top, just like desktop.el does.

OK, please let's take a few steps back and not make any rash decisions
today. :)
If Daniel's proposing an internal optimization and is willing to maintain it
-- and if it doesn't make work for other contributors -- I suggest we accept
it as long as he, or someone else, is willing to support it. At the very
least, it frees us from dependence on a glibc feature that is doomed to
disappear.
If later the work becomes difficult to support, or if Daniel disappears, won't
we just be returning to the same position as now? If that happeans, we can
take what we've learned and try another approach, such as speeding up .elc
loading. Or, if someone comes up with a better alternative in the meantime, we
can just switch to it.
Accepting this patch doesn't mean we don't try the .elc speedup idea. The only
thing we have to make sure is that it doesn't unduly increase the difficulty
of adding new Lisp objects.

It's no longer my decision.

Emacs future cannot depend on a single person. We had more than once
a situation where key developer(s) left leaving a feature or a whole
area unmaintained. If some development isn't a one-time job -- and
this one surely isn't -- then experience shows that any arcane code in
C that loses its experts will become unmaintained and unmaintainable.
The only hope for us to escape this fate is to do it in a way that
most contemporary contributors understand and can easily learn to
hack, which means do it mostly in Lisp, reusing the existing C
machinery that is proven by time and doesn't need maintenance --
'load' and its cousins. That was what I proposed. The advantage of
that is that Emacs then becomes a normal program, one that doesn't
dump itself in any way, shape, or form, but instead reads in a
byte-compiled file, using the normal memory allocation routines. No
more need to save any internal state, worry about relocations, ASLR,
etc. It amazes me that the advantages of that are not immediately
clear to everyone, but I guess I'm biased.

No one is suggesting to stay with unexec. The disagreement is about
where to go to get rid of it.

I don't think this is practical. We cannot go back, certainly not
when unexec requires the expertise it does. No one will agree to go
back. Like with unexec, the only way the portable dumper will be
thrown away is if/when it turns out it is an obstacle to Emacs
development, by which time it will be too late.

Accepting this patch means we believe in this direction, consider it a
perspective one, enough so that we are willing to invest a non-trivial
amount of energy into making it happen, fix the fallout, debug the
results, etc. We are talking about at least one major release, maybe
more, and definitely several minor releases. IOW, we are talking
several years. I don't think we should gamble with such high stakes,
not unless we sure we want to go there, because this is the best
alternative of ditching unexec.
Anyway, I already wrote all this; there was a long discussion about
these issues, it's in the archives. I have nothing else to add to
what I wrote back then. This project needs to decide where it wants
to go, and the rest will be history.

To: Daniel Colascione, Emacs developers
Thanks for working on this. Although it's not the approach I would have
taken, there is a real advantage to having running code. A few points:
* The portable dumper doesn't work with modules. Although this should be
OK for Emacs builds since they don't use modules either, what is your
thought about this? Will the module API need to change to support dumping?
* I am working on getting Emacs to work with gcc -fcheck-pointer-bounds,
and will boost the priority of that task and CC: you when I have
something ready. The portable dumper should work in such an environment.
I don't see any fundamental problems with this; just giving you a heads-up.
* Functions like do_dump_relocation should use intptr_t or uintptr_t,
not ptrdiff_t, to access pointers as integers (whether relocated or
not). In theory this would support architectures where intptr_t and
ptrdiff_t have different widths. Although Emacs doesn't run on such
architectures now, conceivably it could and in the meantime the code
might as well be clear about the distinction between pointers and offsets.
* pdumper_load should check that S_ISREG (stat.st_mode) (I suppose this
won't be needed if we load from the emacs executable....).
* I suggest using the type bits_word (defined in lisp.h) rather than
unsigned. This should work better on 64-bit machines (plus, on weird
platforms).
* For pdumper_read a more-portable limit is MAX_RW_COUNT (see sysdep.c)
instead of SSIZE_MAX. Maybe that value needs to move into a .h file.
* A nit: pdumper_marked_p relies on implicit conversion to bool, a style
I find confusing for bool values. In a bool function it's clearer to
write 'return E != 0;' instead of 'return E;' when E might have values
other than 0 or 1.
* I haven't thought through all the implications of this and may have
more comments later.

We are a long way away from the day when only one person left on earth
can simultaneously hold in his mind the concepts of addition, modulus,
and binary search in C. The operating principle of this work is very
simple. If we need internals documentation, I'll write documentation ---
but there's really not much to it.

They don't need maintenance --- except that they're at least an order of
magnitude too slow right now, and nobody's stepped up to do the
maintenance work necessary to make them useful in a new use case.

The whole point of the portable dumper is that you don't need to worry
about ASLR, ASAN, TSAN, or whatever libc people dream up next. Emacs
*is* a normal program --- it does only the things normal programs are
allowed to do and that platforms support, things like pointer assignment
and reading from a file. A "relocation" is literally just addition ---
it's not some horrible dynamic programming monstrosity like redisplay,
which I understand used to literally have a skull and crossbones in
ASCII art over the main body of the code.
Using your arguments, we should switch to Pango for text layout, FUSE
for remote access, clang-format for indentation, and --- hell, let's
just make Emacs a webapp. If you want maximum technological
democratization, you want JavaScript. See https://atom.io/.

The stakes aren't high. As johnw wrote, unexec will keep working as well

If I didn't know you were talking about pdumper vs. unexec here, I'd swear
this above paragraph was expressing my own concerns about merging Tromey's
concurrency branch. My issues then were exactly the same: very few people who
understand the C implementation, and a multi-year commitment down a road that
may not be the right solution. Yet you agreed that merging it in was fine,
since we could gain experience and at least there's someone who actually did
the work.
Why is pdumper not the same scenario? We have commitment from someone willing
to work on it, he's even willing to write documentation, and it will give us
experience in an area we're free to change at any time, because it doesn't
expose APIs to the end user.
I say we try it, while keeping unexec in place, until it becomes more obvious
that we shouldn't. If we wait too long for the "best alternative", it might
the same as what happened to concurrency: it never happens, because there's
always a concern about the unexpected-down-the-road.

Oh, so the in-file format is also a valid in-memory format? Great.
AFAIK, that's the crucial difference between a "fast .elc loader" and
your approach. This should be key to get really good performance
(e.g. good enough that it doesn't slow down bootstrap noticeably).

Hmm... interesting the "dump one big .elc" approach I played with (which
kinda works right now, tho with the known performance issues) leads to
a dumped.elc file of a size a bit below 4MB (which gzip compresses down
to ~1MB).
I assume your system is using 64bit Lisp_Object, right? So on a 32bit
Lisp_Object your dump size is probably closer to 6-7MB.

0.1s will still lead to a noticeable slow down of bootstrap, but at
least it should be good enough for the usual end-user who doesn't run
Emacs in batch mode.

[ FWIW in theory my dumped.elc approach could also work on an
already-dumped Emacs, for use by end-users (it basically just prints the
contents of the obarray), tho it would indeed need extra work to weed out
problems printing objects like markers and such. ]

Yes. The file is full of valid memory images of Lisp objects --- that's
why I'm guessing it might be a bit more verbose than ELC,
pre-compression. If you guess correctly at dump time what addresses the
Emacs and dump images will have, you can direct mmap it directly and
run. With a non-PIC executable, you can do a pretty good job of that
and get performance a bit better than unexec, in theory.
If you load a dump and find that you've guessed wrong on the base
addresses, you need to relocate the image, but that can be done cheaply
and gradually, on access.

Right --- I've tested on 64-bit only. I imagine testing 32-bit and
wide-int might reveal some latent bugs.

Oh, of course. But that's without any attention paid to
optimization. I'm sure it can go much faster.

Yeah --- then both approaches get into the problem of how to dump
arbitrary object graphs, which in practice ends up being "dump the whole
heap except for processes, windows, and frames."

Sure, but it's already fast enough to be usable.
[ Contrary to my dumped.elc, which is currently usable only for
non-short-lived interactive sessions where you're willing to spend an
extra second of startup. ]

But the dumped.elc approach has it much more difficult here because it
has to work within the scope of a predefined existing format.

Since this will also be available to users, is there a way to exclude
some variables from dumping explicitly when they are declared? For
instance cache data, especially cached passwords?

Maintaining the portable dumper will be far simpler than maintaining
unexec. Unexec has to write a file in whatever format the system uses
for executables. If that is ELF format, it is very complicated,
and it wasn't designed for this purpose. It is necessary to copy
the material from the temacs executable, and modify it along the way.
All those problems will be absent for the portable dumper, which
will make its maintenance much easier.
On top of that, adding Lisp objects will now require

Yes, but how often do we make such changes? Once every few years,
I think. And it won't be a big difficulty to do so, if the code of
the dumper is clean. I am sure it will be a lot cleaner than the code
of unexec.

I think this has its own difficulty -- the need to represent everything
in Lisp syntax.
I don't know a priori which one will be cleaner. It would be good to
implement this alternative so we can compare them for real rather than
just in our imaginations.

Yes: you'd want to reuse desktop's code to save window and frame
configuration. I plan to provide a both-dump-hook and after-dump-hook
mechanism that Lisp code can use for tasks like this.

I'm actually wondering why frames and windows (and buffers, for that
matter) need to be dumped at all. The fact we do that now is just an
artifact of how unexec works: it dumps the entire data section. We
even have special code that runs at startup to undo some of the
peculiarities this causes.
However, a dumper that we control by manually telling it what to dum
and what not doesn't have to do that. IMO, that's just something that
doesn't need to exist in the brave new unexec-free world. (Note that
the "one huge .elc file" method has this built-in.)

Frames and windows aren't dumped. That's why they come back as
dead objects. Lisp objects have to point to *something*, and a dead

Just let-bind any variables you want with the values you'd prefer them
to have in the dump. We can come up with something fancier if needed.

I'd still like to see research into the "one huge .elc file" method, for the
obvious benefits you listed. As far as I understand, the only difference
between the portable dumper, and one-huge-.elc, is efficiency. Given infinite
resources, the .elc method is much to be preferred, since everything we need
"falls out" from existing design.
I wonder what it would take to bridge that efficiency gap, or am I missing
some new feature provided by the portable dumper?

Any memory dumper will always be more efficient than loading .elc.
The challenge is to make the difference smaller than the annoyance
level of the users. Since initial testing already produces load times
below 0.5 sec, I don't see why further optimizations won't deliver
enough speedup to make it fast enough.

Easier: yes. Easy enough: no, not IMO. Not for most of the Emacs
contributors we have and will have in the near future.
The number of people aboard who can matter-of-factly hack the Emacs
internals on the C level is consistently going down, and is already so
small they can be counted on one hand. We must make Emacs depend less
on people from this small and diminishing group, if we want the
development pace increased or even kept at its current level. To me,
that means keep as many features out of low-level C, and limit futzing
with C-level internals of Lisp objects and the Lisp interpreter to the
absolute minimum. IOW, any feature that can have an alternative
implementation in Lisp should not be done in C, even if the Lisp
implementation will be slightly slower.

For you and me, and for a few others, sure. But Emacs cannot be
developed by a handful of people anymore. We already fall behind with
frequency of releases, with the speed of delivering new features, with
analyzing and fixing bugs reported to the tracker, etc. If we don't
attract more core developers, we will never get out of this vicious
cycle. And bringing C-level core developers on board is a very slow,
painful, and unreliable process, because C programmers are a dying
breed, and Emacs internals are not for the faint at heart.

I don't think I follow: what we preload in loadup already has Lisp

Superficially, perhaps. But as soon as you look at the details, there
are two important differences.
First, the only piece of code in the concurrency patch that is not
entirely trivial is a 60-line function (30% of whose line count is
comments and ifdef's). That's all there is to understand there. The
rest is extremely simple, almost trivial: functions that directly map
into the corresponding system threads APIs, or 2-liners for creation,
checking, and otherwise simple management of the few new object types.
By contrast, the proposed patch, even in its initial version, weighs
in at 3200 lines in its core part, and almost none of it is trivial or
simple.
What's more, it comes with the need to make important and non-trivial
decisions wrt which objects and data structures need to be dumped, and
how, something that requires intimate knowledge of the internals and
their use patterns, both at dump time and in interactive sessions.
These decisions will need to be revisited when the related objects are
added or modified, which is the part that averts me the most, because
it means extending the Lisp interpreter, which is already not easy,
will have become even harder.
The other important difference is that threads are an opt-in feature:
if you don't start any threads, Emacs with threads still works as it
did before, and you can just ignore anything related to threads. IOW,
threads are a feature we offer to Lisp programs that want to use it.
By contrast, dumping code is a central and mandatory part of building
Emacs and of its startup process. It cannot be ignored or made
optional.

Because you can't possible get away, in the ELC approach, from:
1) reading every damn byte of the file, and
2) allocating memory for every object you read.
Efficiency is always going to be at least linear in the size of the
"elc dump" --- super-linear complexity if you want read-circle.
A memory dump is linear only in the amount of data you actually
access. Plus, there's no serialization or deserialization overhead. A
memory dump is also inherently gentler on the underlying system, since
we can use many of the pages unmodified (which makes them shareable and
trivially swappable), while every damn byte of the Emacs heap after
loading ELC files will be process-private dirty storage.
I do not think the portable dumper is something that's so complex as to
not be worth the performance, especially since any lread implementation
that's even close to being acceptably fast is going to be very complex
in its own right.

Like I said: any memory dumper will always be faster. But having less
functionality coded in non-trivial C is IMO an important goal, one we
have been pursuing for quite some time, and for a good reason.
Although it should be clear that any adequate C implementation will
always be faster than an equivalent Lisp implementation.

It's complex. I have read the patch. I do know my way in the Emacs
internals.

Even if we accept your opinion on the necessity for changes in lread
(and I don't think I agree), that is a one-off job.

Who do you imagine maintaining Emacs? CS 101 students? We have to assume
a certain baseline level of skill on the part of our future
colleagues. I don't want to dumb down our implementation for the sake of
people we don't know and who, for all we know, may never
actually appear.

I've discussed before why I think this argument is ill-founded. We
already have examples over the past few years of people who've
familiarized themselves with Emacs internals in order to add a feature
they want. If there's a need, people will familiarize themselves with
the editor.
Please, present some evidence that the reason we've seen a decline in
core contributions due to the complexity of the current codebase. I
don't agree that we'd see more contributors appear if we simplified our
algorithms. On the contrary, making Emacs slower will drive users away.
The solution to the problem you're raising is better internals
documentation, not oversimplification.

I agree that what *can* be done in Lisp should be done in Lisp. We're
talking about a facility that doesn't fall under this general
guideline. It's the job of the C core to provide to Lisp facilities
necessary to implement higher-level features. Fast startup is one of
these platform facilities, one very common in other Lisp systems.

Like what? The last two new types in core have been finalizers and the
module thing, both of which have been trivial Lisp_Misc types.
By the way: it's very easy to add support for new object types
to pdumper. Have you read the code?
There are certain types of object that are especially easy to support:
Do you have a pseudovector with no non-Lisp allocations? Adding support
to pdumper for this object type is one line of code.
Do you have a pseudovector that you want to come back from dumps "dead",
like frames? Adding support to pdumper for this object type is one line
of code.
How many new objects types are we going to add that don't fall under one
of these two categories? You're optimizing for hypotheticals at the
expense of the concrete present.

So move more functionality to Lisp. We've done a good job of doing that
lately. We're talking about a special case. You can't move eval to
Lisp either.
If you want to pursue this path, how about moving redisplay to Lisp? You
know more about redisplay than anyone else around, I think, and
redisplay is a much hairier blob of C code than the portable dumper is.

Yes, but the data structures that we create via loadup don't all have
easy-to-digest Lisp representations, and creating them is on the same
level of complexity as the portable dumper.
*This* code exists. Where is the hypothetical sufficiently-fast lread?

Could we ask Daniel to include his code under an #ifdef, so until it's proven
we can always disable it, or back out the changes easily if need be? I'd like
to entertain the experiment, if we can.
I spent a good chunk of my career working on linkers and loaders, so I'm aware
of some of the complexities we're inviting in. My biggest fear is that things
like this always seem simple initially -- but the devil is in the details.
However, if we maintain a way to trivially back out, I don't see how it can
hurt to give Daniel his room to play. Maybe it could turn out better than we
think?

You're the only person I've ever seen use words like "entirely trivial"
to describe the addition of shared-memory concurrency to a legacy
single-threaded system. Even if the code for the threads system looks
simple, the concepts involved are anything but.
By contrast, the portable dumper is about marshalling, which I think is
comparatively simpler.

I don't see it as a problem that the internals of Emacs need to have
knowledge of the internals of Emacs. What matters is whether adding new
object types, which is already a very rare exercise, is made
prohibitively hard. Keep in mind that any programmer who adds a new
object type needs to *also* update the garbage collector, and GC and the
portable dumper require exactly the same kind of object description.
(I looked into actually unifying the GC and pdumper, but I don't think
it's possible without introducing significant new abstractions. It's not
worth it for something that happens so rarely as modification to core
Emacs data type representations.)
If you want to follow this reasoning to its logical conclusion, we
should switch to Boehm GC.

The portable dumper is also optional: you can always use the legacy
unexec code, which isn't going away, or just rely on loadup (and the
hypothetical ultra-fast lread we've discussed).

Although we certainly could use more core developers, it's quite a
stretch to say that switching from unexec to a portable undumper will
scare recruits away. On the contrary, the portable approach is simpler
and easier for non-experts than what we have now.

I don't agree, as C is an essential component of GNU/Linux and is
robustly represented in the practical and research programming
communities. (For what it's worth, C's popularity is ranked #7 in PyPL
and #2 in TIOBE.) Although it'd be fine to replacing the core Emacs
interpreter with something better if we can scare up developer resources
to do that, in the meantime it's OK to assume C expertise for people
modifying the Emacs interpreter.

I didn't compare the proposed portable dumper with what we have now,
so this is a red herring.

When did you last try to hire a C or C++ programmer?
As another data point, just look in the logs at the names of people
who make C-level changes, and count them.
I didn't say I like this, but leading a project to be viable in the
future needs to look at the reality, not at our wishful thinking.

This comment remembered me about a proposal I was waiting to be polished
about the lisp objects representation, but since it's related it kinda
forces me to talk about it earlier :-)
I wrote an utility that lets you see your keyboards macros as emacs lisp (
https://github.com/Silex/elmacro).
In this utility, I have to deal with all kind of lisp objects that needed
to be serialized, and I found myself writing utilities that dumped windows,
frames & buffers differently than was "print" does.
Basically, instead of the traditional "#<window 3 on bla.el>" that does not
eval well, I dump it as "(elmacro-get-window 3)". This function just loops
over "(window-list)" and returns the correct window, that way I can eval
that code and it works (of course it does not work of the window 3 gets
destroyed before the code evaluation, but that's ok). A good example are
mouse clicks: https://github.com/Silex/elmacro#mouse-events-support
During the implementation I often thought "wouldn't it be nice if 'print'
(and prin1/prin1-to-string/etc) dumped ALL lisp objects as something
evalable?".
So, here is my proposal. Make all emacs lisp objects always have an "read"
friendly text representation (or at least as much as possible).
Maybe by doing so it also simplifies the dumper.
Kind regards,
Philippe

Yes, I have read the code. It's easy for you to add new object types,
because you wrote that code, debugged it, and didn't yet have time to
forget how it works.
It is also easy for me to tweak bidi.c to add features required by
Unicode 6.3 and 8.0. Does that mean anyone else can "easily" do that?

If you stop arguing with me so much about each and every issue, then
perhaps I will have time to explore this. As things are, sorry:
arguing with you takes up all of my free time -- or what's left of it
after triaging and fixing bugs, helping people to implement stuff in
C, something you think is "easy" for everyone past CS101, adding and
fixing documentation, including that one Daniel Colascione failed to
write, and whatnot else that is evidently part of the job.

Concurrency in Emacs is for people who already know what that is and
are familiar with the concepts. _After_ you are familiar with the
concepts, the code is surprisingly simple and straightforward.

The concepts are simpler, but the implementation is not so simple.
And some stuff is done manually, with the PDUMPER_* macros rules for
whose use are only clear to someone who knows a lot about the involved
objects and their use patterns.

If that is the direction we want to move, then the efforts invested in
the development of the portable dumper are a complete waste of our
resources.

Eli, I don't read any insult here, just Daniel questioning the fear that we'd
code ourselves into oblivion if core allowed any more complexity. I think we
all want more Lisp and less C, I've seen you both say as much. The real point
being debated is whether some additional C wouldn't help us in the interim.
Note that I've seen both statements become true: Complex core that repulsed
new contributors, and new contributors willing to learn anything to help a
project.

It keeps the portable dumper fenced off. We'd compile it in by default, but it
helps future readers, for a while, by clearly demarcating when special
handling is needed for the sake of that dumper.

I guess just say OK at this point, and help with the review if you're

FWIW, as a logistical matter, it's not really practical to literally
#ifdef out the pdumper integration into the rest of Emacs. We can,
however, make the pdumper constructs compile down to nothing if you opt
not to enable pdumper in the build configuration. I specifically
designed the pdumper.h API to make this arrangement easy and natural.
As a matter of general taste, I _much_ prefer this style:
#ifdef HAVE_FOO
void foo_thing (void);
#else
# define foo_thing() ((void)0)
#endif
void
function1()
{
...
foo_thing();
...
}
void function2()
{
...
foo_thing();
...
}
void function3()
{
...
foo_thing();
...
}
to this style:
void
function1()
{
...
#ifdef HAVE_FOO
foo_thing();
#endif
...
}
void function2()
{
...
#ifdef HAVE_FOO
foo_thing();

That's our fundamental disagreement, then. I am willing to settle for
real improvements to Emacs even if they are not ideal. And I think that
this sort of willingness is more likely to attract contributions from
developers.

Daniel's proposed change consists of code that works and that runs fast.
Isn't that reality? And in contrast, isn't the lread-based approach
wishful thinking?
> When did you last try to hire a C or C++ programmer?
I don't *hire* them, I *create* them. I currently have 450 undergraduate
students, and C++ and C are the only programming languages that they
have all written and debugged code in. (This is not just my decision; it
comes from our faculty's curriculum.) According to Philip Guo's 2014
survey, the most popular languages used in teaching computer science in
top U.S. universities are Python (25-30%), Java (20-25%), C/C++
(10-15%), and MATLAB (5-10%). So from what I can see, the C pipeline is
by no means empty.
Anyway, although C has probably passed its peak and will surely die out
eventually, it's unlikely for this to be anytime soon. The prospect of
its demise shouldn't materially affect our choice of Emacs dumping
technology in the meantime.

With unexec, we're stuck with whatever heap layout malloc gives us, and
whenever we modify a byte within this heap image, the operating system
has to make a copy of that byte's host page and map that copy back into
our address space. (That is, we take a copy-on-write fault.) Pure
allocation partially, but not completely, addresses this overhead.
With the portable dumper, *we* choose the layout and we can do things
like put strings and other unlikely-to-change bits in part of the file
that probably won't get COW faults. We also avoid the need to store
malloc data structures. At runtime, we store the mark bits for objects
in the pdumper image in a contiguous dedicated memory area instead of
mutating the image, further reducing the number of COW faults we need to
incur. With pdumper and a non-PIC Emacs, you'll only pay for COW faults
on the lisp objects you actually modify.
Even *with* a PIC Emacs (which I hope is the default, because ASLR
greatly improves security), we can get these savings if
mmap(BASE_ADDRESS_STORED_IN_DUMP, ...) succeeds and we can map the dump
where we want. If we can't map the dump where we want, we'll just
relocate it.
Alternatively, if we're not memory-mapping, we can compress the dump
file --- that's much harder to do with unexec.

Although your other advantages sound good, this one sounds worrisome. If
Emacs maps the dump to the same place every time, we are giving up ASLR
for the dump itself, and won't that pose a potential security risk? If
so, perhaps it would be better to not mmap to the base address stored in
the dump (unless we can determine that ASLR is not in use, I suppose).

The Emacs dump isn't PROT_EXEC though. It's pure* data, and this
difference diminishes the risk considerably, I think. I'd at least like
to make this behavior a user option.

I live very happily without ASLR for Emacs right now. So I'm not
worried about limiting ASLR to a subset of Emacs's heap.

I'm more worried about the next level up. Although the dump is pure data
to the machine, it's not pure data to Elisp. Since the dump would
contain bytecodes, if attackers can alter the bytecodes then they can
execute whatever Elisp code they want.

Is that actually the case? Looking at the code, I see nothing that would
prevent dumping with ASLR enabled.

Yes, that's correct. It's a performance thing, not a correctness thing.
If Emacs undumps into the same address that it dumped from then it can
avoid relocating some pointers, which should save some work and avoid
making some copies (assuming copy-on-write).

Good point. How about this? We'll let the PIC-ness of the Emacs
executable (which we know at build time) control whether we try to map
the dump at its preferred load address. If a user is running non-PIC,
he's already vulnerable.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't understand why we need to grasp the first

And let me remind you that you didn't like this same idea very much
when I proposed it 2 months ago, see the discussion that starts at

Well, it somehow becomes all but empty on the other end. Believe me.
And even if we cannot agree on that, the facts of what we see here are
very clear.

I think it would be a grave mistake not to be affected by that. We

Eli has a good point here, there really is no rush. Daniel, would you be
willing to continue to incubate these changes in a branch, while we also
consider and explore alternatives?

No. This code isn't disruptive to the Emacs core if it's used, so
there's no reason to keep it out of master. Experience with the
concurrency branch tells me that interesting work in some feature branch
ghetto never actually gets merged.
I maintain that Eli's concerns about maintainability are unfounded.

Isn't unexec what prevents emacs from building inside docker containers
(because of the personality syscall)?
As far as I'm concerned, that's a quite annoying emacs limitation. See bug
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23529.
That said, I understand I'm probably a minory opinion, and that because
this is a sensitive topic we should not rush it... but it's not something
that should be put in a wish list (e.g some untested branch), because it's
something that needs to be fixed sooner or later.

With the portable dumper, we'll no longer need any personality-changing

If they can change installed system files, they are already in control

We're not talking about changing system files on disk. We're talking
about changing the image of a system file in memory.
Here's the scenario: suppose I can convince your Emacs to parse a
carefully crafted network packet that triggers a bug in Emacs and lets
me overwrite arbitrary memory in your Emacs process. Today, I win, in
the sense that I gain complete control over your Emacs process and can
do anything Emacs can do. Address space layout randomization defeats
this attack by randomizing the memory layout of the process: if the
memory layout is randomized, my arbitrary-memory-overwrite vulnerability
doesn't let me do anything interesting, because I don't know *where* and
*what* to write using this vulnerability.
Now, if I know that your Emacs process is randomized *except* for the
location of the dump, I still win, because I can just write to the dump
image in order to make Emacs do what I want it to do. Writing the dump
works because we'll have mapped it copy-on-write, which is needed in
order to make the dump usable as an Emacs heap image. Writes work
whether or not the underlying file is itself writable. Paul is
absolutely right that we shouldn't defeat ALSR this way.
Maybe we can randomize the dump base address *per* *machine*? That way,
remote attackers would still be frustrated. We'd still be making Emacs
users vulnerable to hostile users running on the same machine.
(Or we could just randomize per-user and dump Emacs the first time it
runs for a particular user? If we do that after loading ~/.emacs, we
also improve people's startup time. Invalidating and regenerating the
dump when configuration changes would be a challenge though.)

You've only tested this on one platform so far, yes? That alone is reason not
to merge it immediately into master. Also, I'd like to see documentation
before it goes in, because that's essential to its maintainability.
Further, I don't like hearing ultimatums, on either side, over what amounts to
an efficiency issue. This matter has already shown that it deserves a little
cooling off and further thought. Call it a ghetto if you will, but you've not
convinced me that incubating code in branches is a bad idea.

Yes, I've heard too many ultimatums too.
However, this is not simply an efficiency issue. Emacs currently does
not run on FreeBSD arm64 because of the unexec problem (Bug#24892), and
it's quite likely that the set of platforms where Emacs does not run
will grow as platforms change memory management techniques. We should
not reject a working fix merely because we hypothesize that there might
be a better improvement that someone might implement later.

Yes and I still don't like it much, and if someone implements a better
solution I will be happy to advocate replacing the currently-proposed
approach with a better one. The Emacs dumping scheme has always been and
will remain private and Emacs-version-specific, so we will have a lot of
flexibility here.
In the meantime, if the currently-proposed approach works and is fast, I
see no reason to reject the contribution, or to delay it indefinitely by
putting it into some branch that nobody looks at. If the patch
adequately fixes a real and growing problem and we have no other working
fix, we should install it into the master branch.

Sure, maybe 40 years from now C programmers will be history! That is no
reason for us to reject a patch that we need today.
If we want to switch the Emacs core from C to some other programming
environment, fine. We can think about doing that and we will have plenty
of time to think. In the meantime, the core can and should assume C.
Every solution to this more-urgent problem will involve some C hacking,
and that's OK.

It's not an ultimatum: I'm merely being up-front about the that work I
am willing to do and the work that I am not willing to do. I am not
willing to work on this code in a branch, because if I do, it is very
likely that this code will never be merged --- just like the concurrency
branch. If we put this thing on a branch, it will be ignored. At best,
every few years, someone will bring it the portable dumper --- just like
the concurrency branch --- and ask why we don't use it. At those times,
we'll repeat the same argument we're having now and and never move
forward with merging the increasingly bitrotted code.
What will change in the future, when we talk about merging the
hypothetical branch? Nobody has expressed concern about the technical
quality of this feature. Yes, of course the final version will have more
documentation --- but that's something we can do right now, pre-commit,
not something we need to incubate on a branch. It's not as if we think
this thing might destabilize Emacs, especially if (at first) it's not
actually compiled into Emacs by default.
Putting this code on a branch is burying it. Do you want to reject code
that *exists* and that solves real problems on the basis of one
developer's philosophical objections and preference for code that does
not exist, that nobody has signed up to write, and that I insist will
never perform adequately? How disappointed do you want to make people
who've written working code that solves real problems?

BTW, the concurrency branch has the green light. If anyone is willing to work

Until you're code is tested on more platforms, it needs to live someplace
other than master. That's what branches are for.
I agree with Eli that it doesn't need to be merged *today*. However, I also
agree with RMS, and you, that at least it's a working solution (to some
extent), so if we can't think of something better during the time you're
ironing the wrinkles out, it ought to go in until we do.

That's a good point, Paul, I hadn't thought of that. And the Docker issue,

I'll test it on the systems I can before I commit. We can enable
compilation once on individual systems once we do more thorough testing.
A branch is definitely not the right approach here, because you haven't
established any firm acceptance criteria, and what criteria you have
mentioned (write some documentation, test on more configurations) are
things I can do before the patch lands at all.
The Cairo code doesn't work at all and *that's* in mainline.
That's okay, because it's not enabled by default. Branches are for
experimental features that can't coexist with regular Emacs use
and development. The portable dumper is not such a feature.

Since some years there has been the intention of switching to Guile for Emacs' Lisp needs. As I understand it one of the major issues to be resolved is the lack of Guile unexec support, so would it not be prudent to consider the implications for a (possible) future Guile Emacs? Something along the lines of what Eli proposed (the ”one big .elc”approach) is a requested feature by one of the Guile maintainers[1].
During the last few years there has been a fair amount of work put in to modernise Emacs Lisp (lexical binding probably being the most notable accomplishment). Still, Emacs Lisp has a long way to go to match a high-quality Scheme implementation.
So I am wondering if the time used to play catch-up with modern Lisps would not be better spent by integrating Guile? There seems to have been a lot of focus on performance in Guile the last few years and it also comes with good concurrency support (which has been another area of focus in Emacs). Recently another concurrency mechanism which may be a better fit than threads has also appeared in Guile [2]. There has also been discussion of making it easier for recruit new Emacs developers. I believe that adopting Guile and Scheme would be the single most important step towards this aim.
Given the number of talented hackers in the Emacs and Guile community I would say that making Guile-Emacs a reality is a definitely possible. However, it would probably require to work together actively towards this goal, as opposed to fragmented hacking by single developers.

Maybe I should tell you, that interestingly Emacs is not the only project affected by this glibc/dumper dispute.
I added the stone-old unexec patches for perl to my cperl fork, to be able to dump/compile perl scripts to native binaries the fast way.
Improved dumpers are here: https://github.com/perl11/cperl/commits/feature/gh176-unexec
I guess I’m the only one who touched this code in the last decades, nobody in emacs and nobody in perl.
Mostly unified error handling and a few darwin segment instabilities. It is very fragile to use with a static library, but ok as dynamic library. Emacs uses the dumper in the main exe, not in a library. Solaris is the easiest to use.
So I know a little bit of the troubles they are talking about here. Dan's portable dumper would be nice to have, XEmacs had this decades ago, but it never made it over here. Wonder why :)
So looking at the new pdump, it really is horrible. I don't think I want to do that. I'll rather add a proper static malloc to cperl, such ptmalloc3, which is better than glibc malloc, i.e. ptmalloc2, anyway. They never switched to the better version, because it had more memory overhead. And I really can make use of the arena support there. Emacs should try the same. Much easier and much faster. Good bye glibc.

You do have a point there. I'll give Eli some more time to think on this, and
then we'll get back to you. Thanks for the patience.

Once you get it working I can volunteer to test it on a few unusual
systems (e.g., Solaris 10 sparc32, AIX 7 POWER64); this shouldn't take
long if it's not a holiday. We should also test a 32-bit platform built
--with-wide-int.

Let's get our facts straight, shall we? First, Emacs never worked on
that platform, and second, the current reason is that they removed a
certain library function, which happens to be called by unexec.
Removal of a library function can break any part of Emacs.

Having new features on a branch is our standard development practice.
It allows the interested people to try the feature in situations no
single person can possibly create, even if that person has access to
several platforms, because usage patterns differ a lot.
We can establish pass criteria, if you like, but the only criteria
until now were "if enough time passed and no one complained, it's
ready".
In this case, we will probably also consider alternative approaches if
they become mature.

The Cairo code works, it just has some redisplay bugs that no one was
able to fix. It was disabled post-factum, when we have learned about
those problems, unfortunately after its developer has departed.

I agree with Eli here, this is what branches are for. Daniel, if you think
they have cultural baggage that makes them distasteful, that's a different
problem. Branches are a perfectly acceptable tool, and they give us an easy
way to assess progress as the work develops.
Please submit your code to a branch, and we'll ask everyone who's capable to
begin testing on as many platforms as we can find. Once enough time has passed
and no one has complained, it can move to master.

No it isn't.

No, that's what configuration options do. Branches are seldom touched, because there are much bigger barriers to trying them.

You have wanted to kill this feature at any cost, contrary to the wishes of every other Emacs contributor. What kind of fair pass criteria can I expect?
>In this case, we will probably also consider alternative approaches if
>they become mature.
Got it. So we won't consider merging the code until some lread improvement comes along somehow (which might take years) and we'll declare the lread improvement the winner no matter what the performance difference.

So it doesn't work.

It's obvious within five minutes of trying the feature that it doesn't work. That's okay, because it's opt-in.

It is true if you look at the history of things for which we've actually used branches.
Putting this feature on a branch is tantamount to killing it. There is no legitimate reason to keep it out of mainline, because it is harmless unless enabled, and we can keep it disabled for the moment.

I'm quite sorry to hear it, but if branches are unacceptable, then such is
your right as a free software developer.
Just so you know, I'd hope to see your patches on master within six months, if
we can find some willing testers (and one has already stepped forward). The
only way your changes *wouldn't* land is if a better alternative comes along
in the meantime -- which, of course, would mean we all win.
I don't suppose I can encourage you to maintain your fork within the Emacs.git
repository? There this thing, rhymes with "blanch", where you could work on
your version in tandem, even merge changes from us every once in a while... :)

Branches in general are fine. Relegating this specific feature to a
branch feels political.
I would very much prefer to continue improving GNU Emacs. I'm a longtime
fan of the GNU Project. But I feel like the current gatekeepers are
standing in the way of progress. We can't even make the conservative GC
safe in the face of foreseeable compiler optimizations. This isn't the
first time that I've gotten a flat "no" in response to a good idea. If I
do fork, I can incorporate many more kinds of experimental work. One of
the first things I'd consider would be an LLVM-based tracing JIT.
Let me try one last time to explain my position: this dumping code will
make no Emacs no worse. It cannot possible destabilize Emacs when it is
compiled out of Emacs at configure-time. I specifically designed this
feature to be optional. I am perfectly happy merging my code in such a
way that it is not compiled into Emacs by default, and I am perfectly
happy waiting until we've gotten sufficient testing before enabling the
portable dumper.
In the miraculous case that someone contributes an lread optimization
that allows that the big-ELC approach to perform as well as a memory
image, I will happily back out of my code.
But because this code is harmless when compiled away and because we can
back it out without problems, I see the requirement that we put this
code into a branch as a way to kill the feature. If this code were more
fundamentally destabilizing, I would feel different --- but as it is,
since this code is *not* fundamentally destabilizing, I don't see a
technical case for a feature branch.
I am perfectly happy with a six month or longer timetable for enabling
this code at ./configure time. I expected as much. The XEmacs experience
with their portable dumper (which I have not read) was similar. I
specifically designed this code to be compatible with the current
implementation and to allow for a gradual transition.
Is anyone else signing up to make Emacs work better on modern systems?
> Just so you know, I'd hope to see your patches on master within six months,
What specific conditions need to be met before merging? Why can't I meet
these requirements before landing the diff? This code will never meet
the "nobody has complained" requirement. It's going to have to land over
some objections, because some contributors object to the very essence of
the change. If there are technical requirements, why can't I meet these
requirements before landing this work in master? If there are political
requirements, what makes you think that a branch would help me meet them?

What is the fundamental difference between merging this code into
mainline in a disabled-by-default configuration and merging it into a
branch, except that it's much more convenient to try the feature in the
former case?

There have been cries to adopt a more modern development style, one
focused on GitHub and pull requests. I can certainly accommodate.

Hey Daniel, as a mostly-irrelevant observer, I hope you do. I don't
have time to devote to Emacs the way you do. I think the best use of my
time is to try to convince you to continue doing so, by being as honest
as I can. My advice:
- take a breath, cool down
- give it time, build trust
- build on areas of agreement and common interest
I'm not an Emacs maintainer, and can't speak as one. But, I play a
similar role at work, and can tell you that the technical issues at play
in these conflicts you have with Emacs maintainers are secondary. At
their core, these discussions are all about trust. You don't fully
trust the maintainers, and they don't fully trust you (hopefully "yet"
on both accounts).
In my "day job" I have the equivalent of "commit rights" to some widely
used software critical to the company's function.
From what I see, the role is similar to that of an Emacs maintainer. It
is actually more important that the software remain functional and high
quality, and healthy for the long term, than it is to optimize
development practices for velocity of change.
Like Eli, John, and other maintainers, I'm often put in the position of
saying "no" or "slow down, I'm not sure yet" to a change. Quite often
those asking for the change don't have the same perspective I do. They
might see their change as minor. Or critical. Or urgent. Or, if what
they introduce incurs some ongoing maintenance cost, they might
underestimate that cost, or truly believe in their commitment to bearing
that cost for the long term.
What they often don't appreciate is that I've seen *all* the failures.
I've seen the "simiple risk free idea" break horribly, or later became
something we regret. I've seen authors vanish with half finished ideas,
leaving the *actual* maintainers with a mess. I've seen "critically
urgent" changes become totally unnecessary as easier, more viable
alternatives come to light (often only after careful analysis, done by
me or others, sometimes to the impatient response of those proposing
change).
In this kind of system, where there is a hierarchy of decision makers,
and quality is often more important than speed, trust is earned over
time.
The quickest way to build trust is slowly, with a demonstrated
willingness and capability to collaborate and be sane over a period of
time. Technical merit and an ability to make good logical arguments are
also important, but secondary.
True technical "arguments" are always boring. They're pure pro/con
assessments, dispassionately weighing the knowns, unknowns, risks, etc.
Things get "spicy" when it is issues of trust, power, authority,
morality, etc. Yet, I think it is human nature to try to "win" such
discussions by continuing to appeal to technical issues alone. Quite
often, it boils down to "I don't trust you yet" and "Your lack of trust
frustrates me". There is no getting around that. A decision being made
for "political reasons" is not actually bad, it is the expected norm.
As a mater of political strategy, I'd encourage you to view "please
commit to a branch" as a victory. Do it and watch trust grow in both
directions. It is the foot in the door that gets the project closer to
the place you'd like to see it go. It is a strategic move!

First, let me say these your arguments don't strike me as being wildly
off base. But, I'm not even an Emacs maintainer and can't help but view
the with some suspicion born from the school of hard knocks (see
scenarios outlined above). Viewed from my experience, if I pretend to
be an Emacs maintainer, this is actually what I end up thinking:
- There will be more #ifdefs in Emacs code.
- You are not likely to admit it, but you may disappear. If you do, it
may be my job to remove the #ifdefs.
- You are particularly forceful and invested in getting your way. If I
end up saying "no" in the end, you may walk away, leaving me with a
mess to clean up.
- You are less experienced than the maintainers with the code base, but
claim a change is safe/easy/cheap/harmless. That is nice, but I've
seen these claims play out differently before.
- So, risk is non zero. I'd like to entertain ways to move this
forward with less risk.

The purpose of a branch is to isolate risk. Sure, any branch may never
merge back, but the primary reason to commit to a branch is to
*facilitate* future code sharing between the branch and mainline, not to
kill features.

I think asking for a contract is not unfair, but may be unrealistic.
Have you seen the green light given to the concurrency branch? That
branch began without a contract.
Again, from a maintainer's point of view, this kind of contractual
question is sometimes unanswerable. The maintainer may simply feel
reluctance and not know why.
Simply being willing to "play ball" over a period of time, combined with
the absence of any better options coming along, can often tip the scale
in the "okay to merge" direction. Sometimes people need to actually
"see" a diff on their own screens, run the binary themselves, etc., and
hear a few positive reports from others they trust, before they're
willing to green light something. Emailing a pre-commited patch around
is one way to do that, but git was invented to support a better workflow
directly.
Reluctance on the part of project owners is not inherently bad.
I have actually been in the position of apologizing to people after I
held off their proposed changes for a long time, only to realize that
"they were right all along" and was "obviously the right thing to do" in
hindsight. I usually thank them for being patient with my reluctance.
In reality, my reluctance is usually good judgment, and has saved more
work than it has caused harm. Often, I cannot even initially articulate
why an idea gives me pause. Sometimes it comes to me some time after
the fact.

The above is John saying "yes". I can't tell you how many times I've
said yes to 95% of a proposal and people walk away because of a minor
difference of opinion on a non-essential issue.
> What is the fundamental difference between merging this code into

1) the feature owner (you) absorbs the entire cost of maintaining the
branch. The maintenance cost at mainline is zero. There is zero chance
of ChangeLog, documentation, NEWS, or any mention of the feature
appearing in future snapshots, pretests, releases. As far as I know,
there is no #ifdef for Emacs documentation. If the feature is not
eventually accepted, the cost of rejecting it is zero. There is no
"backing the change out" step.
2) it is easy to review the state of the diff in its entirety against
the master at any point. Once merged you're stuck with more primitive
tools like grep and git blame.
> , except that it's much more convenient to try the feature in the
> former case?
It is probably worth enumerating the concrete differences.
1) git makes it trivial to check out a branch and build. Playing around
with the concurrency branch was pretty easy the time I did it. For the
"I want to try this for a day and report back" use case, it is fine.
2) using a feature branch long term *is* harder. Only one can be used
at a time (easily), and the feature branch owner must merge from master
regularly to keep it relevant.
3) using a branch *combined* with another branch is a pain. If I want
to test "concurrency AND portable dumper" I have to merge the two
branches myself.
There is no correct choice, they are just simple tradeoffs. I see both
options as reasonable.
If the goal is to collect a small-ish number of "I tried it on platform
X and it works" reports, and let the ideas percolate/bake for a time,
then a branch makes a lot of sense.
If the goal is to get the feature used by as many different people as
possible as fast as possible in as many different scenarios as possible,
then a branch makes less sense.
I'll point out that your reluctance to commit to a branch is about trust
and not about the technical issues above: you don't seem to believe John
when he says the intent is to facilitate a future merge.

I do agree that submitting patches to projects on "non github" systems
is beginning to feel archaic. I hope the era of emailing patches around
disappears.
If this is a detractor for Emacs it is also a detractor for every
project hosted on savannah.gnu.org. Rather than fork Emacs to github to
get the "modern" development style, the greater impact, in terms of
benefit to GNU, is adding the desired features to savannah.
I don't know if anybody is working on this or not.
That said, I think you're too quick to suggest forking Emacs. You'll
get more done working with Emacs folks than in spite of them, and the
stuff you work on will have more impact. Even if it feels to you like
you could go 10x faster alone, building a real community is pretty hard,
and you'd be at high risk of burn out doing it alone, and the final
product may not result in more than another non-standard Emacs that gets
little use.

Sure it did. Emacs worked until FreeBSD 11, when the arm64 port modernized its
memory-management implementation. If Glibc does something similar, it would be a
mistake to say "that's OK, Emacs never worked on that platform", as this might
give non-experts the misimpression that Emacs never worked on GNU/Linux.

This was no accident. They removed it because it was producing bogus values, and
it didn't reflect how FreeBSD actually allocates memory. Whether the function
worked for Emacs at all was apparently a matter of luck.
I would rather not tell FreeBSD/arm64 users that they can't run Emacs any more
because we can't be bothered to install a patch that's been contributed, not
even a patch that's compiled by default only on FreeBSD/arm64.
I sympathize with Daniel about the politics of this. This is not the sort of
change that we'd ordinarily create a new branch for, and the way this is being
handled will likely discourage further contributions.

I sympathize with your general point, but I don't think it is
conceivable to make Emacs's C code much simpler or easier to maintain
than it is now.
Also, I don't think the portable dumper would increase the conplexity,
not if it is written cleanly.
To increase the _number_ of modules that look at Lisp objects with a
given level of complexity does not increase the complexity. When
changing the data structures, it is no harder to update 4 places than
3 places. It adds a little more work, but it isn't _harder_ work.
I conclude that the portable dumper won't make it any harder to
find people to work on the C code.

I wasn't going to comment on this thread, but alas here I go!
You launched the thread with "preview" in the title, that is you don't
think that your patch is finished yes. So, you are planning on doing more
work on it, before pushing to master? In which case, you already have a
branch. Why not push that up to the main emacs git? This would make is
very easy for people to test straight off the bat. I'll build and test it
on windows for instance.
I agree with your concerns that it will just moulder on a branch, and
that's true. There is a portable dumper out there for Emacs (version 21),
which is perhaps an indicator. But then disabled-by-default work runs the
same risk. No one tests it that much.
There's enough interest in your work that having it on a branch might even
contribute to encouraging more use of feature branches as part of
development rather than long running forks. That would be good, from my
perspective.

They shouldn't bring it back. Reserving a single region in a process as
"the heap" and doling out parts of it via mmap is an inflexible
allocation policy. mmap ought to be the only way to get memory from the
system.

That thread discusses their implementing sbrk as always returning 0 or
something trivial like that, purely to pacify broken applications that
use sbrk (0) to estimate memory usage and fail to build if sbrk does not
exist. Such a workaround obviously won't get Emacs running. In contrast,
Daniel's proposed patch should work.

I agree.
However, this is not about making existing code simpler. It's about
_adding_ more C code, where an alternative implementation might allow
doing that without such additions.

It's a new and significant mechanism, which is central to building and
starting Emacs. It needs to be studied, understood, and maintained.
Therefore, it does increase the complexity. You might argue that the
increase in complexity is not significant enough to worry about, but
it's definitely there.

It's not just the number of modules, it's what they do with the
objects. The dumper does qualitatively different things, unlike any
other module in Emacs. It's not just "more of the same".

Well, if I need to do more work, the job is harder.

I agree with that conclusion. However, my problem is that, since
finding such people is already hard, making more Emacs modules depend
on that might expose us to more future maintenance problems than if we
don't. Especially if those modules are so central to Emacs as the one
being discussed here.

Agreed.
Ken, will you be able to continue working on your branch in this
direction? Are all the changes suggested/tried by Stefan already on
that branch? If not, would it be possible for Stefan or yourself to
update the branch?
Thanks in advance.

While I cannot really make an informed judgment merits of the portable dumper versus the sometime-to-come fast one-big-elc-file, and won't touch the branch vs master issue, I can tell you this:
The only argument against portable dumper adoption I've seen amounts to "it's coded in C", and the perceived (bad) consequences of the fact.
Of course surely I'm not representative of the general programmer population. Stil, as a once would be emacs C contributor, I sense a definite avoid-anything-C-just-for-being-C atmosphere in the project.
You might remember me from a few months ago, asking about non-toolkit scrollbars on win32 emacs.
At that point:
- I was willing to learn about learning enough about emacs core and win32 to get those scrollbars.
- I was willing to incorporate any requested changes to better integrate into emacs code base, coding style guidelines, whatever...
- I was willing to go through the burden of the copyright attribution process.
- I wasn't willing to argue ad nausea about the merits of yet another feature implemented in C.
So these scrollbars never left my own private emacs build. In the process I never took the chance of leveraging my newly acquired knowledge and become a more regular emacs contributor.
One might wonder to which degree the current C hacker scarcity in the project could actually be caused by the very attitude the Project management holds against C features.

I agree with Daniel here (both Daniels). There is no shortage of linux
kernel hackers and it is written in C. Plus I think that is a consensus
that C is not dying anytime soon.
Can't say the same for elisp.

I'm not sure I'm following your logic. The only discussion with you
about scroll bars I found in the archives is the one that started
here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00525.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-01/msg00549.html
In that discussion, you asked technical questions about the
implementation of scroll-bar support in Emacs, on X and on MS-Windows,
and I answered your questions by pointing to the relevant functions
which implement that support. At no time in that discussion you
proposed something, let alone some code, that was rejected. What am I
missing?

Thanks for that. I also seem to remember you bluntly denied a related issue with the configure script which you latter corrected :-)
> At no time in that discussion you proposed something, let alone some code, that was rejected.
This! no code, good or bad, came ever out of this to be proposed for inclusion into emacs.
And that's for a very definite reason: the novice who wrote it wasn't willing to put up a fight just because no new C code is welcomed any longer into emacs.
As a consequence I pretty much doubt I'll ever become seasoned enough as to be of any help in proper emacs maintenance. IOW, I won't become one of those much needed C coneisseur maintainers.
> What am I missing?
If I weren't any wiser I'd say you missed the hole point of my message ;-)
Look, this was intended as an outsider take on the broader issue of avoiding C code at all costs. At some point decisions have to be made and the more points of view considered, the better those will be.
At the moment we have: x >= 1. Where x is the number of once would be C maintainers put aback by the issue at hand.
I don't know the actual magnitude of x; you don't know either. But it's you who seems most worried about the alleged C programmers drought.

I don't see it that way. You described a problem, Eli mentioned that he
was unable to reproduce it and asked for details. If there is any
bluntness on his message, blame it onto the limitations of written
communication combined with a very busy maintainer.

Where on that exchange was mentioned that a C-based contribution would
be problematic? Quite the contrary, when you asked:
At any rate, if someone was to implement an hypothetical
'--without-w32-toolkit-scroll-bars', would it take entering much into
the elisp realm?
Eli replied:
No, it shouldn't touch the Lisp level at all. The implementation of
the scroll bars is entirely on the C level.
followed by a 8-line paragraph describing where to begin if you are
interested on implementing the feature.
So, by taking the time to guide you, Eli in fact was explicitly saying
that your C-based feature would be welcomed.
Please, it is very important to be rigorous with those matters. You are
accusing a maintainer of doing something toxic for the project when in
fact he did the opposite. By spreading such misinformation on a public
forum it is you who are discouraging would-be contributors.

FWIW, I looked at Daniel's code and found it understandable, whereas
I never managed to make any sense of the unexec code, which still just looks
like magical voodoo to me, despite my trying twice to understand it.

I have an update I’m still working on, to refine the hash table handling I did to generate less garbage while reading normal .el or .elc files. I hope to get that uploaded soon. And I think my previous push of the branch was before Stefan’s latest patch (Oct 31?), so I’ll pull that in too, unless he’s done some more work since.
My focus has been on the dumped.elc load performance; the content generation has been pretty much all his work.
Stefan’s work on reducing “#n#” placeholder substitutions tackled the particular case of cons cells, and he suggested extending it to other types, but based on some stats I got looking over the big .elc file, I think cons cells and strings are the majority of the cases. Stefan’s code addresses the cons cells, and for property-less strings (and certain other types) the substitution pass isn’t needed, so I think we’ve addressed the biggest gains to be had in that area.
The patch I made to use a pair of hash tables for tracking previously read objects seems to have improved performance as well, but I’ve started to refine it a bit to not create a new pair of hash tables for every top-level read done, when the majority of the calls (over 95% during a loadup.el pass I instrumented) don’t actually wind up needing the hash tables.
Regardless of the outcome of this current disagreement and whether big-elc gets used, I think the lread changes may soon be ready to merge, even if the performance benefits are less drastic for normal Lisp code.
As for non-performance issues, last time I tried the big-elc code, it didn’t work for me in batch mode because of a null pointer dereference in face processing; I haven’t had a chance to look into it further but maybe in the next few days I can.

Yes, elc loading performance is welcome regardless.

AFAIR, you used a checkout of the development sources that was behind
the repository tip. But maybe I'm misremembering things, this was
almost 2 years ago.

AFAIK, you never proposed any code.

I don't know where you got the idea that no new C code is welcome, or
from whom. We are adding C code to Emacs all the time. Just look at
the Git log. I've re-read that past discussion, and didn't see any
sign of such a message in anything I wrote there. This must be some
gross misunderstanding. If something I wrote is the culprit, I
apologize.

I understand both (though, admittedly, that excludes unexelf.c, which
I never needed to look at for more than 5 sec). But this is not about
you or me. Do you really believe that I'm afraid of the dumper code,
having tweaked the display engine to speak RTL? However, this is
about the next generation of Emacs maintainers who will inherit this
code and will have to maintain it.
Granted, the proposed dumper is not very complicated. But it isn't
trivial either. So if we can achieve a similar effect by using the
"normal" loadup code, which is much simpler and doesn't really require
understanding anything new, I think it's more beneficial for the
project's future.
The key issue is performance, as was stated many times. If the
performance of loadup after all the speedups is not good enough, then
we will have to conclude that this idea cannot fly, at least not yet.
(That conclusion might be revisited later, if/when disks, filesystems,
and machines become faster.) It will also not fly if no one will pick
up the gauntlet and work on that idea to get it to completion.
But IMO we should at least try implementing that idea, because its
benefits are so clear. We shouldn't give up without trying, and we
have no special reason to decide the idea isn't viable until we've
tried.
Once again, if those ideas seem strange, let alone incorrect, to
you-all out there, just say the word, and I will step down. Then I
can stop worrying about the portable dumper, and you can stop worrying
about my strange ideas. Emacs is not my private project; I'm only
entitled to promote my ideas if the others either support them or
trust me to DTRT. Please decide which one is it, and let's move on.

I'd like to see less C, if only because I've never hacked on the C part of
Emacs, and find almost anything Emacs Lisp to be much simpler and more fun to
work on.
However, C is far from being the most difficult language out there. People are
quite excited about Rust these days, and it appears much harder to fully grok
than C.
If smart people want Emacs to do something, they'll code a machine emulator in
Minecraft to output the correct code using musical frequencies and LED lights.
You'd be shocked at what 15 year olds can do these days when they're bored.
I'm not worried about the intelligence or future willingness. What WE can do,
as Emacs developers, is to be as welcoming and supportive as possible, while
helping those upcoming geniuses to understand that unless they're willing to
stick around and help maintain their new additions, we might be inclined to
say "better in Emacs Lisp, please".

Thanks.

I agree in general, but let's discuss this again when you think the
branch is ready. I'd like to have the branch reviewed by those who
are interested (I will certainly do that myself) before we merge.
Does the branch include any benchmarks, to compare performance with
the current code, both for dumped.elc and for normal Lisp code? If
not, can they be included/added, perhaps under test/?
> As for non-performance issues, last time I tried the big-elc code, it didn’t work for me in batch mode because of a null pointer dereference in face processing; I haven’t had a chance to look into it further but maybe in the next few days I can.
Let me know if you need help in that department.
Thanks again for working on this.

It does. We also make additions in C in other areas.
The differences between this and other C changes, and your proposed
dumper, as was already written several times, are:
. there's no Lisp-level alternative for them
. these changes are mostly a one-time job, and the probability of
them to be actively maintained is very low, if not zero

I think Daniel has helped to stimulate us by offering a close-to-working
solution to an ancient problem. The code it replaces is worse; while the
as-yet-unproven idea of a fast .elc loader is better. It's now upon us to
prove that we can beat the portable dumper, by making good on a fast .elc
loader.
That said, I don't want to let Daniel's idea wither on the vine while we prove
or disprove a fast .elc loader. Sure, we can wait a couple of months to give
that idea a chance while we review the dumper, but if we don't get an .elc
loader in that time, we should give Daniel's idea a go, if for no other reason
than that the work is almost done, and we could gain some valuable experience
-- and a way to do some real performance comparisons.
If the .elc idea pans out (and I really hope it can), I think even Daniel will
be relieved at not having to maintain his dumper, and he can help us to
extricate his helpful addition.

I hear you. But with all due respect, you cannot have it both ways:
beg me to stay in charge, and then push me to give up one of the few
firm ideas I have about where Emacs should go and how. It isn't fair.
I arrived at those ideas by carefully watching Emacs development for
many years. What kind of maintainer will I be if I cannot base my
judgment and decisions on a few principal ideas I have about Emacs
development? What could replace those ideas to be the base for
decisions I need to make almost every day?

Eli, I think you are doing a fantastic job.
The only problem that seems to happen from time to time is that the
discussions starts getting personal and ends up with people saying threats
like "if you put my code in a branch I will fork Emacs" or "if you don't
agree with my ideas I will step down", which is just a way of saying "my
way or the highway". Using these rethorics is not constructive and doesn't
do anyone any good.
To me it looks like the only real problem here is communication, we should
all argue less and try to put ourselves in the other's schoes.
To Daniel, it's important that his work does not bitrot somewhere like the
concurrency branch did. It's also important that he feels there's a strong
chance of his code getting merged before he works more on it.
To Eli, it's important to have Daniel's code more "production ready"
(documentation, etc), and also to give the simpler implementation ideas a
try to avoid having to switch/maintain different systems twice in a short
period of time.
Both needs are understandable and valid. Nobody is wrong here.
To me it's clear that given the requirements, we can plan something that
would satisfy both... for example.
<Eli> Daniel, we'll give other people one month to come up with a sketch of
the alternative idea to see if it's feasible or not. If nothing comes up
after one month, we'll start working on merging your branch.

What do you expect me to do when I see code which takes Emacs in a
direction I think is wrong? There are a very few of such directions I
feel strongly we shouldn't take. What am I supposed to do when I see
one of them proposed for inclusion?
More generally, is the maintainer allowed to reject some code or
course of actions? If yes, what are the criteria for that?

No, you've misunderstood the nature of our disagreement. There's no
disagreement about the code being production-ready: Daniel himself
said it isn't yet.

That's what I said, with the exception of the "month" part.
If we are talking about better communications, then I can suggest
discussing an idea before it is coded. As a matter of fact, I
proposed a very similar idea 2 months ago, and it was voted down by
Paul, so I didn't pursue it, also because that discussion brought up
the "one large .elc file" idea, which Paul liked better (and so did
I), the only issue with it being the performance that we could get.
If Daniel have described his idea before coding it, I think at least
some of the aggravation (mine included) could have been spared.

Yeah, memory is like that. That did actually happen, just later.
Previously I had made an observation saying that the configure script shouldn't accept target platform incompatible options, leading to a crash dumping emacs build. After some agreement by other seasoned list members you proceeded with the fix, which in turn I managed to miss!
Anyway no sense pursuing this subject any further. It's not as if I held any grudge about that particular exchange.

I've been reading the list ever since. As noted in my first comment, it's a distinct impression which bulds up over time from regularly reading this list.
By its very nature this is admitedly subjective. Maybe it's generaly shared by newcomers as me or maybe not.

TBH Óscar, it's a bit odd being corresponding with you about this very subject. You were truly encouraging and supportive to me at the time.

Ken worked on speeding up the lread.c code, and it got to be
significantly faster, but not fast enough. AFAIK it's got to the point
where it's not clear exactly how to speed it up further. Not that it
can't be done, but that it's not obvious how, so it's likely going to
require some serious rethinking and maybe restructuring/rewrite of
the code.
Is it going to happen if we don't merge the pdumper? I'm not so sure.
The main impetus behind speeding up lread.c is to replace unexec.c, so
I agree with you that merging the pdumper might mean that speeding up
lread.c will simply never happen. But I think there's also a very
serious risk that even without the pdumper, speeding up lread.c will
still never happen: I have no intention on working at speeding up
lread.c, AFAICT Ken also gave up on it, anyone else?
Personally, I think that maybe we should move in the other direction:
keep lread.c for "source code" and generalize the pdumper code so it can
also be used for the .elc files.

It certainly increases the amount of code that understands Lisp object
formats. However, whether it increases the degree of complexity is
another question. I don't think it is a problem to have one more place
with the same kind and depth of complexity. That means _more_ work
on some future rare occasions, but it does not mean _harder_ work.
As long as we have people to maintain allocation and GC, I don't
think we would have trouble finding people to maintain the portable
dumper along with them.
But it's true that I have not seen the code. Someone should
look at the code and judge whether this is really true.

I'm willing to give that a chance. I don't see any reason to make the

Judging by Ken's response, he didn't give up yet.
In any case, it should be clear to anyone that code which isn't
written cannot be used. So a reality check will get us straight.

You mean, move the byte compiler to C?
If not, I don't understand the idea: pdump wants a file in a very
specific format, because it doesn't really understand the entities it
reads.

No. I mean that bytecomp.el would generate a file in a format which
pdumper can use (which has various consequences, such as the fact that
.elc files aren't portable any more).

Ideally, yes: one way, we'll compile with libgccjit or something. But
that's a long way away.
For now, nobody's talking about the byte compiler. Stefan's talking
about the code that *reads* the byte compiler's output. Right now, this
code is the normal lisp reader, but it doesn't have to be.

pdumper's loader is stupidly simple. It doesn't understand anything
about what it's loading. That's what makes it fast. Stefan's idea is to
make the elc format closer to the pdump format. Advantage: it'll be much
faster that way. Disadvantage: elc files will be closely coupled to the
precise Emacs builds that generated them.

Certainly. Some of that code is a bit subtle, and I’d appreciate the review.

Not currently. My benchmark has usually been along the lines of:
time ./emacs -nw —eval '(progn (sit-for 0.01) (kill-emacs))’
to initialize everything (including tty display and input checking) and then quit, in a consistent fashion from run to run. After running it several times and hopefully seeing fairly consistent numbers after the first invocation or two, I estimate the average by eye. So, yeah, it could be more precise.
Since we’re timing Emacs startup itself, we can’t test it with Lisp helper functions invoked once Emacs has started like we would with many other things. And it’ll be dependent on system issues, like whether emacs and dumped.elc are in the kernel’s page cache or not. For simplicity I’ve been testing with the cache warmed up, because it eliminates the storage system hardware and OS read-ahead algorithms and such while I focus on the lread.c code, but in the real world those will sometimes be factors too, and should be considered.
I’ll think about scripting this in some way that may be more robust, and maybe adding hooks for OS-specific cache flushing and such.

No, I just got busy with other things for a bit.
Stefan’s right too… since the current time sinks are the “read” functions themselves rather than in support code being called, it’s less immediately obvious where work is needed or how to proceed. And it’s certainly possible changes will be needed that aren’t as nicely localized as getc() or recursive placeholder substitution. But, I haven’t tried, yet… :-)

Stefan is right so often that it must embarrass him. :-)
FWIW I recently tuned a private copy of lread.c to use syscalls rather than
stdio. It didn't help significantly, so I gave that up.

I think a part of this job is always political: Balancing the twin goals of
promoting the best ideas, while also keeping everyone involved encouraged and
motivated. When we say "yes" to an idea, we might be hurting Emacs; but when
we say "no", we might be hurting that contributor, and losing their future
involvement. Sometimes that's fine -- after all, everyone else in the world
wants us to care about Emacs more than a limited-time set of contributors --
but we also cannot thrive without active contributors, so "watering the
garden" is part of our task.
We all know the portable dumper is not an ideal solution; we even have some
notion of what the ideal solution looks like. It's indeed a bit frustrating to
knowingly support a technology path that may end up incurring a lot of work,
if a much better solution might be just around the corner.
However, I ask you to consider the merits of Daniel's proposal from several
angles -- angles a regular developer may not care about at all:
- If we accept the work, we show to others that *code wins*. That is, if a
problem exists in Emacs, and someone comes to us with actual code, this has
tremendous weight. If this is our position, it encourages others to
experiment, since they'll fear less that after so much work, we might just
say "no" because it's not as good a solution as we'd like.
- If we accept the work, it encourages Daniel to play a larger role, to learn
more about the C internals, and likely to contribute even more.
- If we accept the work, and a better solution comes along later, we can
revert the change without undue labor. That is, our end cost is not so
terribly high that we're panting ourselves into a corner.
- If we accept the work, despite our disagreement, *precisely because most of
the other core developers do agree*, we're saying that their opinion holds
a lot of weight with us, and this encourages frank and open discussion. If
decisions like this are made by just you or me, against all other
objections, it diminishes the value of this mailing list in others' eyes.
It then seems like we're just making the Emacs we want, and not the Emacs
all of us want.
I think there is a "greater good" here, and it is not unduly damaged by
letting a short-term solution into the code until a longer-term solution
appears. There is much goodwill to be gained, and really not so much harm. On
the other hand, rejecting it -- despite the general sense of agreement is has
gained -- would cause a much greater social damage, which is far more
difficult to undo than one day asking Daniel to revert his work.
All that said, if you feel strongly that this proposal hurts Emacs itself, and
cannot abide it, I understand. I was hoping we could all win here, but I know
that sometimes this isn't realistic. I just hope we can all recognize that
this portable dumper idea is not so terribly important: not to fork over, nor
to resign from the amazing support you provide.

Following up to what John said, with a perspective that may be useful to Eli:
Eli, I have a great deal of respect for your technical judgement and the amount of work you put into Emacs. But I have a slightly different take on what maintainership means.
When I was in a position similar to yours (one of a small group of core co-maintainers, in the Subversion project), there were a few occasions when a major technical decision went in a direction I didn't agree with. My disagreement was not of the "this will destroy the project" sort, but I did feel the decisions were poor technical choices that could be a long-term drag on the project -- creating extra maintenance work for existing developers, and creating barriers to entry for new developers. In other words, objections very similar to yours now.
In each case, discussions eventually made it clear to me that my opinion was not going to prevail. There were just too many developers who felt differently. This didn't tempt me to step down from maintainership, though I will admit that it *did* tempt me to keep score a bit, so that later on I might be able to say "Hey folks, remember when I turned out to be right about X, and Y, and Z? So please listen to me this time." I think I may even have used that privilege once or twice later :-), though I don't remember clearly if I did. What I do remember clearly is that I turned out to be wrong in at least one of the cases (at least, I established to my own satisfaction that my warnings had been unwarranted).
Your value as a maintainer is not lessened if a particular decision doesn't go the way you recommended. (Of course, if maintainership becomes unenjoyable to you because of the decision, that's a different question, and only you can make that call.) I think there is even a good argument that your continued maintainership actually becomes slightly *more* important to the project: of all the people who could spot whether the negative consequences of the decision are coming true, you would perhaps be the person most likely to spot it, and most likely to point it out to the other developers.
You must make your own decision, of course. But I hope this perspective is a useful response to your question:
"...What kind of maintainer will I be if I cannot base my judgment and
decisions on a few principal ideas I have about Emacs development?
What could replace those ideas to be the base for decisions I need to
make almost every day?"
(I pretty much agree with everything John said in his email below, too, for what it's worth.)
Best regards,
-Karl

Thanks, but it isn't useful. Why? because, like John, you don't think
that my opinion about the preferred solution to getting rid of unexec
is right.
What would be useful is a perspective from someone who understands the
issues and agrees with me about the preferred solution. Because only
such a person can see the dilemma through my eyes, and only that
person can find the right words.

No, they aren't similar. In cases like the one you describe, I
invariably seek a compromise or give in. It's what you call "destroy
the project" thing that makes the difference.

"Unenjoyable"? It's intolerable. It would mean that on my watch
something happened that I believe is detrimental to a project which I
took upon myself to improve, and I saw it happening and didn't prevent
it. Can you understand my plight?

That seems like a big disadvantage to me. This could be sufficient
reason just by itself to stick with the current format for elc files.
People expect to install one elc file and have it work in multple
Emacs versions. Only rarely have we made changes that would prevent
this.

We've all been contributing to Emacs for many years. I think we have a
pretty good grasp of the issues and potential problems. I understand
that you think there's an existential risk that goes into this change,
but I think you're mistaken, and a lot of other people agree. We all
have access to the same information; it's unlikely (but not impossible)
that you're the only one who can see certain potential problems. Please
give this change the benefit of the doubt.
Even if your worst-case scenario comes to pass, the worst outcome
outcome will just be more fiddly maintenance. I think the pdumper code
is pretty clean; I'm open to suggestions for making it moreso. The code
doesn't depend on arcane details of underlying operating systems --- it
depends only on details of Emacs itself. We don't need ELF experts.
If there's no one left who can understand pdumper, there's no one left
who can understand the GC either. In that scenario, we're already in
Mad Max territory anyway.
You won't have to touch this code.

Maybe I'm not understanding fully: I thought we all agreed that your preferred
solution is the best one, provided it can be implemented. In the meantime, we
have an interim measure available that is better than unexec. Since I haven't
heard anyone suggest that we should stick with the portable dumper forever, I
don't fully understand the strength of your objection.

Indeed, such a change would mean that "the .elc file" would probably be
auto-generated behind the scene on-demand.

The format could be easy for pdumper to use but still be portable. For
example, the pdumper format could use 64-bit little-endian
representation for Lisp_Object values, even on platforms with 32-bit or
big-endian Lisp_Objects. Although this would complicate the pdumper and
slow it down on platforms where the native format doesn't match the
pdumper representation, the pdumper would still be significantly faster
than lread.c.

That used to be the case. Now, nearly every major release is
incompatible, AFAICT. As far as I can see, long gone are the
days when you could byte-compile in an older version and use
the byte-compiled code in a newer version.

I'm not aware of such problems. AFAIK, we only made an incompatible
change once, in Emacs 23. The byte-compiled files compiled by later
versions should all be compatible. If you see a problem with that,
please report it as a bug.

That's true, but note that Guile produces non-portable byte-compiled
files since long ago. The Guile developers did that on purpose and
they think it's TRT. I was at least initially surprised when I
learned about that.

We already have such "fiddly maintenance" situation in several areas.
Font selection, font back-ends, character composition, complex script
shaping, and (to some extent) the interaction with X and its window
managers -- all of these are areas where bugs are left for months and
years without being fixed, and no progress is made to adapt Emacs to
the new technologies out there.
IOW, "the worst outcome" is already here. I'm desperately trying not
to make it worse.

I will definitely try to keep this in mind when reviewing the code.
However, code cleanness is not the main problem, based on the above
examples. There's nothing unclean in the code in any of the areas I
mentioned. The problems are elsewhere.

GC is stable for many years, and "just works". Bugs only happen there
when people make changes in GC code, for benefits that are not
essential. If there's no one on board who understands GC, we can
simply disallow any changes in that area.
By contrast, the portable dumper is new code. No matter how simple
and clean, it will take some time until it becomes mature enough to
raise to the current status of GC. Until that happens, we cannot
afford being in the same situation as with GC.
> You won't have to touch this code.
I most probably will, and I have no reason to be afraid of that. But
this isn't about me.

What information then?
We are both rational creatures. If we disagree, it's either because one
of us made a leap of logic that other has not or because we're starting
with different postulates. Can we please get at the root of
our disagreement?
What evidence would convince you that you were incorrect? On my part, I
might be swayed by examples of other free software projects that have
failed due to the inclusion of C code. I cannot think of any.
It is very frustrating to be asked to believe radical assertions made
without any evidence; that's what happened on the thread-safe malloc
thread, and it was very unproductive.
>> Please give this change the benefit of the doubt.

The branch will be short-lived. I will want to merge this code
soon. It's at that time that I will most appreciate being given the
benefit of the doubt.

The reason that these bugs aren't getting fixed is that they're not
bothering people enough to provoke fixes. I know that I'm much more
inclined to fix bugs when they bother me personally. It's misleading to
cite unfixed minor bugs as evidence that nobody knows how to fix the
bugs.
Placing restrictions on the people who do know how to fix these bugs is
a good way to ensure that we'll either leave them unfixed (thinking it
not worth the trouble to justify the addition of C code) or just keep
the fixes local (which I confess to doing, for this reason).
You know why I haven't worked on the GTK+-only backend I proposed? I
don't *need* to yet. The X11 one works fine, with fixes here and
there. One day, it won't work fine anymore, and either I or someone else
will make it work fine. This situation is not evidence that we're
forgetting how to program GUIs. It means that we did an adequate job.
As for "adapting Emacs to the new technologies out there": that is
precisely what the portable dumper does! I sent a patch that adapts
Emacs to modern technologies and you're complaining that nobody is doing
that. What do you expect me to think?
> IOW, "the worst outcome" is already here. I'm desperately trying not

Emacs runs fine and has many users. It's influential in the community. I
have no idea how many users we have, but I find Emacs users in every
group of developers I visit. emacs-devel is a high traffic mailing
list. We make the news on every major release. If this situation is "the
worst outcome", the worst outcome is pretty comfortable.
Bugs in the sections of code you mention get fixed when you allow them
to get fixed --- Stefan had to try very hard recently to get the
before-change-functions bug fixed, and that was a simple fix for an
egregious problem.

Yes. I don't think anyone is concerned about code quality. There is
literally nothing I know how to do to this code to make you feel better
about merging it. I feel like the code's very existence is what bothers
you, and I can do nothing about that except give up, which I won't
do. If my assessment is incorrect, and there is something I can do to
the code to make you feel better about it, please let me know.

The surest way to ensure that nobody understands a piece of code in a
free software project is to put up a big sign that says "OFF LIMITS! DO
NOT TOUCH!". People learn by doing. You need to let people experiment.
Moving fast (and breaking things occasionally) beats OWNERS. Emacs is
not pacemaker firmware. It's not flying an airplane. A bug introduced is
not the end of the world. We can bisect. You can't simultaneously lament
that the flow of new core developers is a trickle and keep the spigot
turned off.
Your position on this matter has never made any sense to me.

Half the people on emacs-devel understand the GC. The other half could
understand it with a few days of study. The last time we had a major GC
bug (the purespace symbol reference thing), we quickly had two
independent patches for fixing it. (Mine lost, but that's history.)
Both of those path authors are on this thread. This outcome doesn't
suggest that GC is in danger of becoming abandonware. If pdumper ends up
in the same position GC is in today, that's fine.
Speaking of future-proofing Emacs: I'd appreciate fixing the
conservative GC problem I highlighted a few days ago before it becomes a
real bug. Maybe I misread the messages, but my sense was that you were
firmly against that change as well, and I never figured out why.

You are the only one objecting. Perhaps, generally speaking, your
opinion carries greater weight, but it should not carry infinite
weight. Please defer to the judgment of the rest of the community. This
change is not an existential threat. We are not the enemy.

Didn't you ever participate in a meeting discussing a complex issue,
and saw different people suggest different assessments and different
courses of actions, although they all have the same information about
the issue at their disposal? I'm sure you did. Why does it happen?
For any number of reasons: different age and experience, different
weight assigned to the same factors involved, different intuition,
different abilities to analyze a complex problem and discern the
important from the unimportant, etc. etc.
It's not about being rational. Complex problems like that cannot be
solved by deterministic algorithms, and the input data is almost
always incomplete.

There's nothing wrong with including C code in Emacs. I'm not against
it. I'm doing that myself all the time, and others do it as well,
with my full blessing. This isn't about adding C code, as I already
said many times. This is about adding significant new components
implemented in C that solve problems which could be solved in Lisp
instead.

Ah, so you still think the suggestion to put the code on a branch was
a political trick, rather than a step towards its potential admission?
I guess _I_ am the one who is not getting any benefit of the doubt
here.

So you think that bugs should only be fixed by those who are
personally bothered by them in their routine Emacs usage? That would
leave most of the bugs unfixed. It would also mean that bugs reported
by users who are not programmers, or who cannot afford investing
enough time to learn the relevant parts of the Emacs code, will never
be fixed; if such users are bothered enough by these bugs, their only
choice is simply to stop using Emacs.
As things are, and as they should be, most bugs are fixed by the core
developers, because we want to fix as many bugs as we can, even if we
personally aren't bothered at all by them. The problem that bothers
me happens when the core developers lack knowledge for fixing a bug
and cannot afford investing the time to study the relevant code and
the underlying issues/features, to acquire that knowledge.

"Minor bugs"? I'm talking about problems that slow down display of
certain fonts to a crawl, or produce badly formatted display, or cause
crashes in GC or in malloc. These bugs are definitely not minor.

Code review is not just about obviously wrong code. It is also about
other less obvious factors, such as how well the submission fits with
the overall design and implementation. You will find these issues
brought up in any project, and some submissions rejected on those
grounds; Emacs is no exception. Nor did I invent that here.

That's profoundly false, not to say unfair. I've stated exactly what
bothers me: I would like to see this problem fixed differently, if
possible and feasible. I also explained what would be my preferred
solution. After all this, what you say above is a strawman at best.

It's not the code that bothers me, it's the pressure to accept it
without exploring the possibility of solving the same problem by the
preferred method. What's the rush? You said you are going to be
around for maintaining the code, so why can't you wait for us to try
the lread speedup first? xwidgets was on a branch for months after it
was declared ready; why this one is different?

People learn by doing, but many don't stay long enough to learn
enough. They disappear with their partial knowledge, and we are left
to deal with the bugs. If those people were to stay here longer, or
if we had someone on board who'd be able to fix the fallout quickly,
then sure, we could afford to be nonchalant about changes in those
core areas. As things are, we need to be more cautious. It's a fine
balance, for sure, which is why changes in those areas are indeed
accepted, as you can clearly see from the logs. We didn't mark those
areas OFF LIMITS. You were describing a desperate situation, which
didn't happen yet, so I said that if push comes to shove, we can apply
desperate measures. We are not there yet, and I hope we never will
be.
> You need to let people experiment. Emacs is not pacemaker

It isn't a student project, either. It is a veteran project expected
to be stable, even on the master branch. People do important things
with it, and their edits are sometimes precious. There are
distributions out there providing snapshots of master, and people use
those snapshots in their routine work. We cannot afford having master
broken except for very short times.
> A bug introduced is not the end of the world. We can bisect.
This only works in simple cases. It doesn't work when the offending
commit was fixing a problem, which we don't want to get back. It also
doesn't work when removal of the offending commit invalidates a large
series of changes which we find unjustified to back out.
And then there are bugs whose reproduction is itself a problem, for
which bisection is infeasible.

The spigot is not off. There are a few cases, hopefully rare, where
changes are rejected for these reasons. But they are a minority, and
your presentation of them as a majority is a significant exaggeration,
probably to make a point.
The truth is that this is a fine balance, and I think we are generally
doing well with walking that thin line.
> Your position on this matter has never made any sense to me.
And yet people want me to continue doing this job. Which makes
absolutely no sense to me. Why would they want that if they don't
agree with how I do my job?
Would someone please try answering this question?

No, the last two major bugs that were detected by GC were bug#24478
and bug#24640. Their root causes were not in GC, but debugging them
required familiarity with GC and related functionality. May I suggest
that you familiarize yourself with how those bugs were analyzed and
how the fix for them was found? Because this kind of problems, and
our ability to fix them in the future, is what bothers me.

You never presented any code, so the discussion was purely
theoretical. Who knows, perhaps I misunderstood what you were
suggesting. It happened to me as well: 2 months ago I described the
idea very similar to your portable dumper, and Paul Eggert rejected it
in very firm terms. Now he supports your implementation of the same
ideas. Go figure.

How much weight does it have? How do you determine whether that

Isn't that why I agreed to put the code on a branch?

Not it alone, no. But it's in that direction which I'd like to avoid
as much as possible. Add enough such changes, and they might be such
a serious threat.

Neither am I.

Hello, Eli.
I haven't really been following this thread, but one tangential thing in
it jumped out at me:

I have made quite a lot of changes at the C level, but I'm not really a
"core C level" developer.
However, it feels that an unusually high proportion of C level changes I
have hacked or proposed have been rejected. ("Unusual" when compared to
lisp level changes.) Examples include:
(i) Changing the method of syntax.c scanning backwards over comments. My
changes found their way into branch comment-cache in 2016-03. Despite
this change having been extensively discussed in emacs-devel, and sort of
"approved", the final patch was never considered on its merits. The
ostensible reason was that it used a cache which wasn't the syntax-ppss
cache.
(ii) Around 2015-11-17, I proposed a patch to fix bug #21869 and bug
#21333, with top line of the commit message being "Invoke
window-size-change-functions after changing echo area height.". The
problem here was that window-size-change-functions was sometimes being
called twice. You rejected my patch because you were "not keen" on
changing the order of calls in the display engine because we "didn't
fully understand what was going on". Again, I don't think this proposed
patch was really considered on its merits.
(iii) Earlier this year, we were having problems because some primitives
were not calling before-change-functions and after-change-functions the
way we might wish. My offer to analyse the code and amend it so that all
primitives would call b-c-f and a-c-f predictably was declined, the
proviso being (if I remember correctly) "unless somebody writes a solid
suite of unit tests". At the time of this rejection, I'd already
invested some time on the analysis.
It would be unfair not to mention that a lot of changes I've proposed at
the C level, and hacked, have been accepted. Yet, at the same time, when
I now consider tackling problems which need fixing at the C level, I feel
a doubt in my mind that any proposed fix would be properly considered,
and I weigh up this possibility before committing myself to spending any
time on it.
In short, I feel discouraged from working at the C level because of the
above. I might not be the only developer who feels this.

Can you estimate that proportion? You cited 3 examples, and then said
that "a lot of changes have been accepted". 3 out of many is not a
high proportion.

I don't think I participated in that discussion or reviewed that
patch, so I cannot say anything about that.

Please see
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21869#23
It indicates that we already had a patch for those problems, which was
already tested quite a lot by that time. I think it's only natural to
prefer a well tested and discussed patch to a new one trying to fix
the same problem. Reading this message further down:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21869#37
I see that you agreed that the problem was fixed by the patch we had,
which allowed me to close the bug.

That's not exactly my recollection. The analysis was not rejected, I
simply already did it when you proposed that, so it wasn't necessary.

Please don't be discouraged. There's no policy of preventing changes
on the C level. However, for some changes which affect important
functions, I think it's prudent to require a reasonable coverage by
tests, so that we know we didn't break anything.

From where I stand I have the impression that we have a respectable
"marketshare" among those programmers interested in programming
languages (for example, in my research area (functional programming and
type systems), most new experimental languages come with support for
Emacs first and support for other editors only show up later).
On the contrary I get the impression that our "markethare" among
programmers interested in "GUI stuff" is very much smaller.
So I don't think the lack of people willing to help us with X and font
stuff implies that there's a lack of people able to hack on things like
the GC (and if you're able to hack on the GC, then that probably carries
over to the pdumper since it's closely related).

A change _in_ 23? Or a change _after_ 23? If the change
occurred in 23 then files compiled in 23 should be compatible
in later releases. It should not be the case only that files
compiled in later releases are compatible with still later releases.
I cannot (always) byte-compile in 23 and use the result in
later releases, at least. (It depends on the file.)
It may or may not represent a hard incompatibility. It might
just be a change in a calling sequence or existence of some
macros. I don't know, and I don't have the time to dig into it.
I do know that I do not hesitate to have conditional code that
(normally) is all that's needed, to deal with such changes,
and that that no longer suffices.
Are you suggesting that if someone can report a true
incompatibility introduced after Emacs 23 you will actually
change the byte compiler to remove it, and that you will
backport that fix to where it was introduced and later
releases? (Otherwise, the fix doesn't really help.)
You can believe me or not. I am used to conditionalizing
code to make it work with multiple releases. And I have
always tried, for my own use, to byte-compile in the oldest
release possible, so that the result works for all of the
releases the particular library supports. I have had to
stop compiling (except for testing, to pick up warnings)
some libraries because of what I've found to be
byte-compilation incompatibility.
Yes, my claim remains vague. And yes, I'm anyway glad
to hear that there is some profession of still wanting
to keep compatibility for future releases. That is a
large consolation, for which I am grateful.

Although I'm not as worried about that prospect as you are, I would also
appreciate a fix for the problem, so long as it doesn't hurt performance in the
common case where the fix isn't needed. As I understand it, you want the the
conservative object scanner to count any pointer to somewhere in (or just past
the end of) an object, as opposed to counting only pointers to the start of the
object. That would be a reasonable thing to add, perhaps conditionally compiled
so that it doesn't hurt performance on typical architectures today.

I'd forgotten about that patch. It's further evidence of the trouble

I don't see how this is counting. I don't see the relationship between bug#24478
and GC. Bug#24640 was a crash but the bug report was not marked as serious.
If we're merely counting GC-related things that broke Emacs, a
more-recently-fixed bug related to GC was not reported to bug-gnu-emacs at all;
it's something I fixed two days ago in the release branch, which fixed a broken
build with the Oracle Developer Studio C compiler.
On the other hand, if we're talking about truly major bugs detected by GC, then
Emacs currently doesn't work on FreeBSD 11 arm64 due to GC-related problems that
Daniel's patches would fix. This is Bug#24892, marked as serious, and it pretty
clearly outranks all the other bugs mentioned in this thread.

Crashes in GC are always serious, because you can never know what
caused them. In that case, it turned out that reading objects with
the #n=object form was broken, quite a serious problem.

Indeed, problems that are revealed in GC are not very rare.

There's more than one problem, and no single solution can fix them
all.

Well, I may have run into a problem of this kind: a package
(`expand-region') that started behaving weird when I moved from
Emacs 24.5 to a 25 pretest. I did not recompile any packages when
I upgraded Emacs, so when I ran into the problem, I was running
Emacs 24 byte code in Emacs 25. When I recompiled `expand-region',
the problem I was experiencing went away.
I didn't investigate further (I know zilch about Emacs' byte code
and my problem was solved), so I can't be 100% sure it was due to
a byte code incompatibility, it just seemed likely. (I also didn't
consider filing a bug with Emacs, because it made sense to me
*not* to expect byte-code compatibility across major versions.)
Anyway, the details are here (no technical details, just a
description of the problem):

You have explained a possible drawback of the portable dumper:
it could make maintenance more difficult some years from now.
No one can doubt that this is a possibility. People do disagree about
how much of a problem it is likely to be. Many of us don't expect it
will make a big difference. You forecast that it could.
But you've got to admit that it is uncertain. We're all making
guesstimates about probabilities.
So if we install the portable dumper, please don't treat it as a
certain disaster. It would increase some problems quantitatively, and
reduce other problems quantitatively.

The measure of real commitment to development of Emacs (or any free program)
is willingness to fix bugs _because that's important_ and not just
because they bother you.
Daniel, after the portable dumper is done, would you like to learn
some area of the display code where bugs are waiting to be fixed?

This means we have strong support in one area of development,
and insufficient support in another. However, we need to maintain
Emacs in both areas.
Would anyone like to help us at in the redisplay and graphics C code?

Alan, would you like to become an expert on some areas of the display
code? If you become the main person working on some area, I am sure
you will get your changes in.

I'll have to go back and reread the thread. I do recall Alan having a
good point about syntax-ppss being incorrect for certain kinds of
two-character comment starters.

That reasoning is logically valid -- but is it really a plausible
scenario that Emacs's parsing of a packet would have a bug that
clobbers other unrelated memory?
What Emacs does with the contents of an incoming packet is mainly
to turn it into Lisp objects and make that available at Lisp level.
That means not much opportunity for such a bug to occur.

Bitter experience with other software has shown the answer to be "yes".
The bug doesn't even have to be in Emacs --- it can be in a library we
use. For example, we link against libpng when available, and libpng has
had repeated security problems over the years:
https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-7294/Libpng.html
Gnus uses libpng to display images in news and email. All of this means
that the scenario I've described can come to pass merely by browsing
emacs-devel. I'd prefer to protect us against it.
(I don't want to single out libpng --- other libraries have bugs too.
libpng is just the first one that came to mind.)

If you think so and are willing to take on this risk yourself, you can
build a non-position-independent Emacs and get security and performance
equivalent to what you have today. There are lots of hardening measures
available to modern software, all optional, and we should allow users to
use them.

Sure, but incoming packets are not random and attackers can design packets to
exploit Emacs bugs. So any opportunity whatsoever in Lisp conversion is more of
concern than it would be for more-typical pointer bugs. And as Daniel mentioned,
attackers will likely focus on the occasions when Emacs converts packet contents
to non-Lisp objects.
I have been looking into improving checking in this area, by using the
-fcheck-pointer-bounds option introduced in GCC 5 and supported by some newer
CPUs. Although -fcheck-pointer-bounds should help, it won't be perfect and it
will be disabled by default due to its performance cost.

"Display code" might be misleading. There are no bugs I know of in
display code proper (xdisp.c, dispnew.c) that I know of and are not
fixed.
I'm guessing you meant the problems I mentioned in the area of font
selection, font back-ends, and character composition. Those are the
problematic areas.
Volunteers are more than welcome to work in these areas, whether by
studying the code via bugs that need to be solved, or by any other
means.

That was a problem with parse-partial-sexp, and AFAIK Alan fixed
it recently.

I can't really estimate it accurately (or it would take far too much

I've found that thread, and I misremembered it. The preceding
discussion was not extensive. It was in the thread with Subject:
"bug#22884: 25.0.92; C/l mode editing takes waaaayy too long" and
essentially consisted of just three emails:
(i) Alan -> Eli: Thu, 3 Mar 2016 23:18:23 +0000
(ii) Eli -> Alan: Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:32:56 +0200
(iii) Alan -> Eli: Fri, 4 Mar 2016 09:37:07 +0000
. In (i), I proposed using text properties to cache the string/comment
state of positions, and asked you whether that might overwhelm the text
property mechanism. In (ii) you replied that it shouldn't. In (iii) I
announced my intention to hack it, which I then did.
I don't remember you reviewing the patch, or expressing any further
views on it afterwards, so we agree on that. The discussion after I
submitted my patch happened in the threads Subject: "Re: [Emacs-diffs]
comment-cache 223d16f 2/3: Apply `comment-depth' text properties when
calling `back_comment'." and Subject: "Permission requested to merge
branch comment-cache into master.". This discussion was long and (to
me) unexpectedly aggressive, and didn't concern itself with the
correctness of the patch. It seemed intended to prevent the adoption of
my patch by spreading FUD. If this was indeed the intention, it was
entirely successful.

I've read through that debbugs bug archive. It was a long time ago. I
remember feeling discouraged that my patch was not considered. I think
I felt that my patch fixed the fundamental problem in xdisp.c, whereas
the patch actually applied was more of a workaround. Or something like
that. But I didn't push the point at the time.

OK. But the notion of acutally fixing the primitives so that they would
each call b-c-f and a-c-f was strongly discouraged, if I remember
correctly.

Perhaps it is that last point (that C functions are more likely to be
critical to Emacs's working than lisp functions, and therefore the
testing is more important) that is the thing.

Your patch was indeed simpler. Indeed, it was so simple as actually not
to work in general, as well as being ~2 orders of magnitude slower than
the current (forward-comment -1). syntax-ppss is broken (bug #22983)
and has been for many years, so to base a critical primitive on it seems
unwise. And one or two other things, too.
Other than that, yes we could apply that patch.
BTW, I've been looking at bug #22983 the last few days, since it seems
nobody else is going to bother fixing it.

I'd like to become an expert on the display code, but I don't think I'm
up to it. That code is just too difficult for me, unless I gave up
doing other things to be able to spend the time on it. It's highly
optimised (it has to be), and is thus very long. I don't think it's
badly written - it's just got a very difficult job to do.

It really did. When a patch disregards a whole class of current use

issue.

The patch is there: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=22983#47
You're welcome to install it.
I'm still waiting for someone to assist Vitalie with the hard-widen effort.

You make it sound like it barely ever works and it's always 100
times slower. I think this qualifies as "gross misrepresentation".

I don't think it does.
Your patch won't work, for example, if a lisp program sets syntax-table
text properties (which is _always_ done when
before/after-change-functions are disabled). This is a very important
scenario.
Consider (forward-comment -1) backwards over a 100 character comment.
The current code will do this in 100n units of time, for some value of
n. In your patch, we need to calculate the parse-partial-sexp state at
the comment, and this is going to involve a parse-partial-sexp moving
forward over, on average, 10,000 characters. This is going to take
10,000m units of time, for some m. 10,000m is two orders of magnitude
larger than 100n.
Now, I'm not saying your patch couldn't be improved to handle these and
other things. Firstly, it then wouldn't be a "simple" patch any longer.
And the next thing, why bother, when the comment-cache code already
exists and works?

I've re-read those threads and found my participation in them to be
almost non-existent. In the first one it was limited to presenting
benchmarks of the performance that was discussed. In the second one I
barely said anything at all, and when I did, it was to encourage you
to install your patch on the release branch rather than master.

Once again, a patch that was discussed at length and tested by several
people was committed that fixed the problem. I can understand your
frustration, but we really cannot install more than a single patch for
each problem.

Yes, because those touched very fundamental functionalities in
manipulating buffer text, which I didn't want to destabilize without
having a test suite with good coverage.
So in sum, I feel that these incidents don't have a lot in common with
the issues discussed here.

I think treating code in C as more delicate is prudent: changes there
will almost always have wider implications than changes in Lisp, and
the code is frequently harder to understand, so better testing is IMO
justified.

IMO, dangerous outcomes should be taken seriously even if their
probability is low, as long as it's non-zero. "Taken seriously" means
we should do something to try to avoid the danger. That is what I'm
trying to do: find a solution for the problem that will avoid the
danger.

The "disaster" is not the installation of the dumper. The disaster I
alluded to would be not to try to find a solution that minimizes the
above danger. If we have tried our best and failed, then it's not a
disaster, it's life: after all, we can only make the best use of the
cards we've been dealt.

You're misinterpreting this "agreement". Nobody else agrees that a a
significant maintenance burden is likely. This is how FUD starts.

The people who moved humanity forward were not the ones huddling in
caves afraid of the mammoths outside.
We're talking about software. Anything we do, we can undo. (And please,
stop suggesting that we have some kind of duty to keep master absolutely
stable because someone, somewhere might make a master snapshot tarball
available for something. Why do we even have releases?)
> "Taken seriously" means

You keep saying that you'd prefer a "solution" that "avoids" the
"danger". There *is* no solution that avoids the "danger" you've
highlighted, which is the mere addition of C code. (No other free
software project views C code as a "danger" to be avoided at all costs.)
Your preferred approach, a magically faster lread, *will* *also*
*involve* *C* *code*. It will *also* require knowledge of Lisp layout,
since what lread does is transform text into Lisp objects. It will
*also* need touchups when we add new lisp objects.
The idea that your preferred fast lread (which, again, does not actually
exist) would be a fine, but that the portable dumper is a "danger" ---
it makes no sense. Your arguments against the portable dumper apply
also to lread.
Please don't tell me that lread is qualitatively different because it's
existing functionality or something: you're talking about complex,
disruptive additions to lread code, and that these additions would go
into a C file that already exists instead of one that doesn't
is immaterial.

We've known about unexec problems for years and nobody's come up with a
workable alternative. Please stop obstructing progress because you wish
it weren't so. The biggest danger here is that you get your way, block
progress, and that we're stuck with unexec and fragile hacks for many
more years.

You might be right about libpng, but if so, that has nothing
particularly to do with parsing network packets in Emacs.
There are various ways the PNG file could get into your Emacs.
Regarding png files and security, there are many ways to view a png
file in various different programs. It is useful to defend Emacs
better against such bugs, but maybe the better defense is a validator
library, separate from libpng, to carefully validate the format of a
PNG file and detect any inconsistency. Then programs could call that
validator before showing the PNG file to libpng.

The issue you raised -- and it is a real consideration -- is that
future changes in Lisp object formats would likely require changes in
the portable dumper (if we use that), just as they would likely
require changes in GC.
If someday nobody can change GC, that would mean nobody can change
Lisp object formats any more.
It won't take very long before the portable dumper becomes as stable
as GC. Then it would be the same issue for both. I don't think that
having Lisp object format changes blocked by GC and the portable
dumper is much worse than having them blocked by GC alone.

Please don't say it with such a belligerent tone. We need to work together,

Keeping master stable depends on the workflow wanted for Emacs... but in
general, having a stable "master" is an accepted practice for any project
of a reasonable size.
The unstability can go in branches, that's what they are for. A stable
master avoids all the unecesserary noise when "master breaks" because that
affects everyone, and it allows for continuous integration as a bonus.
There is a lot of different worflows available and I think it is our job to
adapt to the project's workflow, or maybe propose a different workflow.
Here are different typical used workflows:
- only one master branch (small projects)
- the git-flow workflow: one long-lived develop branch meant for
development (unstable) from which features/releases branches might get
branched from. The branch master is on the receiving end on the merges and
anything merged to it should be stable (http://nvie.com/posts/a-
successful-git-branching-model). Somewhat "long" release cycles.
- the github workflow: master always "production ready", every
features/bugfixes gets in a branch, and is merged when ready. Emphasis on
short release cycles.
- the git/kernel release model: many topical branches like "next", "pu"
(proposed updates), "maint" (maintenance), etc.
I think in general having a stable master is desired, now I agree it's not
the end of the world if it gets unstable from time to time as long as it's
fixed quickly.

That should not be too difficult, if you can track which files were read
when creating the dump and store some fields from the stat(2)
information on those files in the dump. I am using this approach in a
packaging system that I am developing to close a race between attaching
a file to an archive handle and actually writing the archive, at which
time the digest of the file is computed. (I wanted to avoid reading
input files twice.)
I take a conservative approach and verify that the
st_{ino,dev,size,blocks,{m,c}tim{e,.tv_nsec}} fields are all unchanged.
For my use, writing the archive produces a hard failure if this check
fails; for Emacs, failing that check would indicate "time to rebuild the
fast-load cache".
On the other hand, I think that per-user dumps are a bad idea--the Emacs
dump is an inscrutable binary blob and therefore a good place for an
intruder to hide persistent nastiness. This could allow an intruder to
add a back door to a user's Emacs in a difficult-to-detect manner while
needing only temporary access to that user's account, say, from
exploiting any program that user runs.

Users run lots of inscrutable binary blobs. At least this one is made
from free software. ("Sure", you might think, "we can just have the
system Emacs *sign* the blob." But an attacker could just read the
private key right out of the Emacs binary. You really can't win.)

I don't think attempting to defend against this sort of attack, at least
the way you suggest, is desirable. An attacker who can modify user
files like that has already won --- there are all sorts of user-mode
"rootkits" that hide themselves very effectively.

"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."
The system Emacs dump cannot be modified by a user's account. A
per-user dump could be. Currently, this particular persistence option
for a (user-level) intruder does not exist; I argue that we should think
very carefully before creating it. (No objection to using this for the
system Emacs dump, though.)
A counter-proposal to signing the dump: upon loading the dump, display
a digest or randomart-like image that summarizes the dump. Users who
care can then notice if the dump changes when it should not.

Some of the comments on that blog are appropriate here. This kind of
"not a security problem because <insert excuse here>" is a position for
which Microsoft is infamous. The issue that I see is that a per-user
Emacs dump (which of course must be writable by the user) is a place
(platform-independent, even!) where an attacker can hide a bit of code
to make future access easier, even after the exploit that initially
allowed the attacker to get in is fixed. I consider that an attacker
who gets in, but leaves traces and is detected, has "won the battle and
lost the war".

And you don't have any binaries under $HOME? No elc files? No
.pyc files? Really? Are you sure that you can read a pyc file and
detect exploit code?

That'll annoy users, and I've never seen a real human being pay
attention to those SSH key fingerprint ASCII art things, much less some
weird art thing that Emacs might display on startup.

That the author of that post works for Microsoft is irrelevant.
"Security" is a meaningless word. You need to be secure *against*
something. You need a threat model. Your threat model is an attacker
who already has the ability to overwrite files under $HOME. Such an
attacker can do anything anyway (e.g., LD_PRELOAD something in
~/.profile that presents whatever secure fantasy the attacker wants to
present), so your proposed security measure doesn't actually help ---
and it has costs.
Sorry: I don't think that forgoing user dumps on security grounds makes
any sense. There might be plenty of other reasons not to implement the
feature, but security isn't one of them.
That's not "an excuse" --- as if implementing any random feature
somebody proposes in the name of "security" is some moral imperative, we
need to be excused from our duty to perform it --- it's reason.

System compromises are never "fixed": there are too many places for
attackers to hide code. If your account has been compromised, you lose.

It is sad how many people just do not care. Then they complain when
told that their email account is sending spam.
Back to the topic, how would this annoy users? Put it in the splash
screen with other details like the Emacs version that the willfully
ignorant will ignore.

Modifying .profile is riskier for the attacker than modifying a binary
dump. A system backup facility, for example, will notice that the
user's .profile has changed and will probably store the diff. A
security policy may have a system daemon scanning user .profiles for
references to LD_PRELOAD.

I did not say that we absolutely should not have per-user dumps, only
that we should consider the risks that they introduce. At the least,
there should be an option to not use per-user dumps. This would be very
little of a problem, since the portable dump mechanism will allow for
dumps to be incrementally built. This will enable a user dump to be
built/updated by loading the system dump, processing .emacs (or some
special user loadup file if the user does not want .emacs in the dump)
and saving a new dump file. Or for user dumps to be unused, and we stay
right where we are now on those systems, but without depending on the
internals of libc.

This comes back to an attacker "winning the battle and losing the
war"--if you do not know your account has been compromised, then you do
not know that you should be restoring from backup--and the attacker
"wins the war". Non-persistent "smash-and-grab" attacks have an
important advantage for the attacker in this sense. That integrity in
Free environments is currently a mess is no reason to charge ahead
without considering what effects our efforts will have on the situation.
I had meant to suggest a solution to the problem of invalidating a user
dump/fast-load cache; I have been surprised that the discussion has been
more about an offhand remark expressing uncertainty about the wisdom of
per-user dump files.
To be clear: I am in favor of supporting per-user dumps, but vehemently
opposed to forcing their use. If nothing else { alias emacs='emacs
--load-dump=~/.emacs.pdmp'; } will provide support for per-user dumps
whether or not Emacs itself checks for one.

What do you expect me to do when I see code which takes Emacs
in a direction I think is wrong? There are a very few of
such directions I feel strongly we shouldn't take. What am I
supposed to do when I see one of them proposed for inclusion?

I don't think the fork is happening.
"There is no fork." :-D
You are replying to a very old thread.
It seems we both are. Hopefully that's not a problem.

Just bumping the thread. Would like to know what came out of this.

Same here. I don't really care whether the portable dumper or the "big
.elc file" approach is taken, but it would be cool to see emacs out of
the malloc and unexec business. This code is fragile and tends to break
on less popular platforms (OpenBSD in my case).

I've pushed the portable dumper to the pdumper Savannah branch. It
should support a fully PIC Emacs.
I implemented demand-paging logic and backed all of it out: the demand
paging worked fine, but I wasn't able to figure out a good way to get GC
not to page in the whole region almost immediately anyway. I was
surprised to find that my Emacs GCs almost immediately after start.
Timing on the current code is nevertheless pretty good. Running emacs -Q
-nw -batch --eval '(progn (garbage-collect) (kill-emacs))' 100 times,
unexec: 22.47ms per invocation
pdumper: 28.19ms per invocation
I think this degree of startup overhead is acceptable.
I could implement the non-PIC mode I'd previously mentioned; I'm
confident it would be faster than unexec. But with PIC doing this well,
why bother? We want a PIC Emacs for security reasons anyway.

Thanks. I'd urge people to try this branch and report any issues they
see.

The usual stuff, I think: does it build, does it work as expected,
etc.

Thanks. Did you try it with --enable-checking?

This is because the MS-Windows version of 'read' has 'unsigned int' as
its last argument. But now I wonder why you don't see the same
problem in sysdep.c, where emacs_read does something very similar.
Not sure what am I missing here.

Yes, like that.
I see something slightly different on MS-Windows (in a build with
"--enable-checking"), but maybe similar enough to be explained by the
same problem:

It's weird that we're failing there. If we're looking at a buffer with
dumped contents, we set b->text->beg to NULL, then use the normal
buffer-allocation procedure (whichever we're compiled to use) to
allocate memory for the contents. How can the resulting address ever be
equal to what we started with? Neither mmap_realloc nor r_re_alloc nor
xrealloc should ever reuse the address.

Oh, I think I know what's going on. We must be reallocating from the
discardable region, which we unmapped on startup, but pdumper_object_p
still thinks that this memory (which the allocator can legitimately use
for some other purpose) is part of the dump (since pdumper_object_p uses
a simple range check) and malfunctions. I'll add a patch to keep this
address space reserved.
I just added the actually-discard-the-discardable region code, so I'm
not surprised it broke. On my machine, we happen to never reuse that
address space.

You are talking about what enlarge_buffer_text does? IOW, this:
if (pdumper_object_p (old_beg))
b->text->beg = NULL;
else
old_beg = NULL;
#if defined USE_MMAP_FOR_BUFFERS
p = mmap_realloc ((void **) &b->text->beg, new_nbytes);
#elif defined REL_ALLOC
p = r_re_alloc ((void **) &b->text->beg, new_nbytes);
#else
p = xrealloc (b->text->beg, new_nbytes);
#endif
I will try to look around this when I have time, and see what I find.

You can't do that without a process to debug.

Thanks. There were two bugs, both relating to conservative GC:
1) To make conservative GC work, we record in the dump the start
position and Lisp type of each object in the dump. The problem was that
we were recording object-start records for objects in the discardable
region. With the right stack garbage as input, conservative GC would
find one of these object-start records, use it as evidence that it was
looking at a real object, then call mark_object, which died because it
knows that objects in the discardable region shouldn't be live. Fixed by
just not emitting these discardable-region object-start records anymore.
2) When evaluating a Lisp_Object on the stack in mark_maybe_object,
occasionally, we can find a word with a valid pointer component but the
wrong type tags. Now we check that the Lisp_Object's tagged type matches
the actual type of the object in the dump.
I don't know why it was so hard to repro these on my machine. I had to
bootstrap a few times before Emacs began crashing.

Thanks. I've pushed a fix, I think.

Thank you very much Daniel. I hope this can move to master soon.
I just tried it (on Debian testing, with the latest commit at the time,
i.e. 5232a17c365f871a84603caba81712415a260042) and here's my experience:

I fixed those with the patch below, but it seems there's some issues
with off_t vs size_t (I guess a dump file shouldn't be bigger than the
available address space, so even though the max size of files can be
much bigger, we can use smaller integers to refer to size&position
within dump files).
- after that the dump itself crashed as follows:

Thanks, the problem is indeed fixed, and with that I was able to
successfully complete the bootstrap.
I also tested an optimized build, and a parallel "make -j8" build, and
they all worked as expected.
The times to load the .pdmp file are around 20 msec for an unoptimized
build and 7 msec for an optimized build, which I think is very
impressive.
For the record, this is a 32-bit MinGW build configured with
"--with-large-int --with-modules --enable-checking", on a 3-year old
Core i7 box running Windows 7.

I'm not sure if this was meant for me as well. In any case, I just
pulled and rebuilt, and everything seems to be working well as of
commit 9484bb3ab8e39add474400e5982802b61c56eb3a (I'm using it to write
this message).

Presumably RESTORING_FROM_DUMP is a left‐over from previous code? I
couldn’t see at a glance what to replace it with.
Oddly whenever I had a problem with macfont.m I had to do ‘make clean’
before make would work again. I’m not sure what was going on or if
it’s specific to this branch.

Fixed. I'm tempted to just convert INTEGER_TO_CONS to a pair of
functions (one signed, one unsigned) that just take an {,u}intmax_t.

Modified the code to tolerate end-of-pseudovector padding in 32-bit builds.

Sometimes one does not know whether an integer is signed. For example,
the ino_t type is signed on some platforms, and not on others. This is
why INTEGER_CONS is written the way it is: it is supposed to do the
right thing regardless of the signedness of its argument.

I had the following problem on Fedora 27 when building the pdumper
branch just now:

Another minor thing (that breaks the build with -Werror) is that the
functions set_{marker,vectorlike}_marked are unused. Same with
syms_of_nsfns_1. I also had to change the eassert(("...", 0)) to
eassert("..." && 0) to stop the compiler from complaining about an unused
expression.

I just tried to build on 64-bit Cygwin, and the build fails as follows:

A simpler approach would be to just concatenate the dump to temacs, then
add a special header with a signature and a dump length. On startup,
Emacs could open itself, seek to the end of the file, look for the
signature, and if it's present, back up to the start of the dump and
proceed exactly as pdumper does now. This way, there's no overwriting
stuff in the middle of the file and we don't waste disk space on a big
data section we'll only partially use.

Thank you. I could build it and it seems working as expected. I'm

We could try, but:
- it adds complexity and maybe system-dependent hacks.
- it closes the opportunity to have several dump files for a single
executable (I was thinking we could try and let end-users build their
own dump file).

I haven't looked at the code yet, so I don't understand the question.
If you give me some guidance, I'll try to investigate.

Not necessarily. Suppose we go with the append-to-the-executable option.
Then, to "re-dump" emacs, we'd open the current executable, copy it to a
temporary file, back up to the start of the dump, ftruncate. Now we've
recovered temacs and we can go through normal loadup and dump.
Maybe we can even automatically detect changes to any file in
load-history and perform this procedure automatically on startup.

Thanks. I think the trouble must be in dump_mmap_contiguous. We report
all errors from this function as "out of memory". dump_mmap_contiguous
takes an array of mapping descriptors (think ELF segments or something)
and maps them all into a single contiguous region of virtual memory. On
POSIX systems, we reserve a chunk of address space with a big PROT_NONE
anonymous mapping, then carve it up into the separate mappings that we
really want. Windows doesn't support atomic mmap replacement, so Cygwin
has to emulate it, and I wouldn't be surprised if something's going
wrong in this emulation.
That you're able to compile a few elisp files before bootstrap starts
failing makes me wonder whether we're dealing with Cygwin's perennial
problem with address space collisions and some kind of dynamic-base DLL.

You know, we could just append a whole zip archive to the executable and
load elisp files from this zip archive. (The dump file would be just
another file in the archive.) This way, we'd be able to make a
self-contained "emacs" binary that wouldn't need special installation.
(arc-mode would keep find-library working.) We could even mmap files
from the zip archive as long as the files are suitably aligned and
STOREd instead of compressed; Android uses this trick to map stuff
sitting inside APK files.

Wouldn't that make the dumper stuff less portable, in the sense that
it would need to be compatible with low-level details of executable
file formats on various systems?
At least on non-ELF systems, AFAIK the flexibility of putting
arbitrary sections into an executable is lower than desired. For
example, before Emacs 25 the MS-Windows build would create a special
section for the initialized Emacs data, which had the annoying effect
of running afoul of 'strip', because Binutils don't know about this
section, and therefore stripping would produce a dysfunctional
executable. It also prevented re-dumping Emacs, something we had in
the past and I'd like us to have again in the future.
Wouldn't copying the dump into the executable hit the same problems,
at least in principle?
> This way, we could get rid of the current complicated dump-file location logic early in Emacs init.
Can you elaborate why is that logic so complicated?

But it will have to be a special section, right? Because otherwise we
again will prevent Binutils from doing useful stuff with such an
executable, right?

I don't understand the desire to put the dump within the eamcs
executable, as I thought the whole point of this exercise was to avoid
dodgy manipulation of executable file formats.
Anything that fiddles with the executable prevents signing the
executable, which in many environments is desireable.

This appears to be because sys_read() and _read() take an unsigned int
for count rather than size_t. Changing the code to:
read (fd, (char*) buf + bytes_read, (int)(bytes_to_read - bytes_read));
That builds and appears to run, but it would be nicer to get sys_read

Yes. Angelo already reported this a few days ago.

This cannot be the right solution, because you will lose bits in the
cast, when bytes_to_read is greater than INT_MAX.
When Angelo reported this, I said I didn't understand how a similar
code in sysdep.c:emacs_intr_read does compile without a problem,
although it seems to feed a ptrdiff_t value (which should be 64-bit
wide in the 64-bit Windows build, just like size_t, except for the
signedness), similarly to the above. Can you spot why that works?
Maybe look at the preprocessed source? Maybe then we will know how to
fix that properly (or maybe we will discover one more subtle bug ;-).
In general, breaking the read into chunks of INT_MAX should work as
well, but I'd like to know first what's going on in emacs_intr_read,
because perhaps there's a more elegant solution we have available.

Just concatenating bytes to the end of an executable doesn't break that
executable, at least not on any platform I know about. binutils keeps
working. No special section required. Strip does remove the extra data
though, unfortunately, and this procedure does break any cryptographic
signatures (although we're not using any right now).

That does sound annoying. The original proposal I had in mind was to
make a normal data array:
uint8_t dump[15*1024*1024] = { embedded_dump_signature };
And then refer to this array on code. No part of the toolchain is
allowed to remove this array. The "dump insertion" procedure we're
considering would just amount to changing the contents of this array in
an already-linked executable using dumb find-and-replace anchored on
embedded_dump_signature.

I'd like to have it too. The data-section-array approach above wouldn't
permit redumping unless the new dump fit into the old array. The
concatenation approach would allow arbitrary redumping. And of course
keeping the dump as a separate file would too.

Two reasons:
1) The code to generate the dump file is complicated, especially because
we want to support windows, and
2) with a separate dump file, it's easier to accidentally break the
correspondence between the dump and the emacs binary itself. If we
somehow stapled the dump to the binary, it'd be a lot harder to break
this way.
I like the idea of being able to mv emacs emacs.old, make emacs, and
then have emacs.old and emacs still both run and work normally. I don't
think the numbered build mechanism you fixed completely solves the
problem, since it only works in one specific context.

It's just a matter of packaging. As I mentioned in the other message I
sent, keeping the dump separate from the executable breaks some
perfectly-natural things you might want to do with the Emacs executable,
like copying and renaming it. If possible, I'd like to keep these things
working. If we can't, that's a shame, but it's not the end of the world.
We do need to avoid platform-specific executable file manipulation and
weird runtime hacks. There are three options on the table:
1) Keeping the dump as a separate file,
2) Appending the dump to the end of the executable, and
3) Overwriting a data-section array with the dump contents.
All of these options avoid dodgy platform-specific executable
modifications of the sort you see in, say, unexw32.c, and they're all
compatible with emacs as a position-independent executable.

Ideally, we'd be able to re-sign after modification.

I'm guessing similar problems will happen with objcopy and objdump.

I can understand how rewriting the array could work (but we'd need to
know its size in advance, otherwise we'd waste memory, like Emacs on
w32 does today with its dumped_data array, especially since the size
during bootstrap needs to be so much larger than with byte-compiled
Lisp files). But I'm not sure I understand how references to that
array in the code would work. Do you mean there would be a need to
"fix up" address references in the code as part of "dump insertion"?
If so, that's my original suggestion from 2 years ago, which was voted
down due to complexities.

I imagined the fingerprint we compute is already used (or can be used)
to reject dump files from a different build? If so, this could
provide at least some protection form calamities.

If I remember correctly, XEmacs chose option (1), but that was a long
time ago. If we implement that, nothing prevents us from adding option
(2) later. Later builds that implement (2) would then simply not
provide the dump file separately, and once it's shown to work reliably
the code for (1) could be removed (or (1) and (2) could be swapped).
Option 3 seems less flexible, plus as someone mentioned it would be
nice to able to redump your own emacs, which could run into a
limitation of the size of the data section.

I do indeed think that we should make the separate file method stable
and collect some experience with it, before consider more advanced
and/or clever approaches.

IIUC these options actually aren't mutually exclusive.
We can easily provide a single `(t)emacs` executable which at startup
will:
- look for a valid dump in the big static `dump` array.
- if not found look for a valid dump in a particular ELF section.
- if not found, look for a valid dump at the end of the `emacs` binary.
- if not found, look for a dump as a separate file at some standard
location (starting with ~/.emacs.d/<magicid>.dump, say).
- as support a "--preload <foo>.dump" command-line option.

Given the mismatch between sys_read/_read and read, doesn't the smae

I agree. We already ship a lot of files that are expected at certain
locations, like the Emacs Lisp files or the files in `data-directory', why
should the pdump file be different?

Thanks for your work on the portable dumper though - this already looks
solid enough that the old dump code does not have long to live...

The files you've mentioned aren't as intimately tied to the Emacs binary
as the pdmp file is. You can load these elc and data files into any old
Emacs, but the dump has to be an _exact_ match.

The difference is at the top of pdumper.c:
#ifdef __GNUC__
# pragma GCC diagnostic error "-Wconversion"
# pragma GCC diagnostic error "-Wshadow"
Everything else appears to be built without that warning as error. If I
add similar pragmas to sysdep.c then it also emits a dozen or so
conversion warnings as errors.

Ah, okay. So I guess we've just uncovered a subtle bug, which affects
emacs_intr_read as well, and perhaps other places. Thanks.

My experience is just the opposite: i.e., that -Wconversion causes more
trouble than it cures. The pdumper change to INTEGER_TO_CONS is an
example of trouble. The only reason for that change is to work around a
compiler bug in GCC that is caused by -Wconversion, a bug that leads to
a false alarm. I suggest at least the attached patch, which limits the
damage to pdumper.c instead of letting it spread to other Emacs modules.
But better yet, I suggest dropping the idea of using -Wconversion even
on pdumper.c, as it's counterproductive and in high-quality code almost
inevitably leads to further obfuscation like ALLOW_IMPLICIT_CONVERSION
and DISALLOW_IMPLICIT_CONVERSION.
PS. Double-parens like that shouldn't be needed in macro bodies, as each
macro must parenthesize its argument properly anyway.

-Wconversion helped me find real bugs and otherwise mysterious bugs in
pdumper. It also, apparently, found a longstanding subtle bug in a
completely different part of Emacs. Outside of certain specialized
casting facilities, -Wconversion ought to warn only on things that are
actually problems. Have a counter-example?
The ALLOW_IMPLICIT_CONVERSION and DISALLOW_IMPLICIT_CONVERSION macros
are there in pdumper to account for the rest of Emacs not being
conversion-clean; if everything worked with -Wconversion, we wouldn't
need the bracketing.

DEFINE_TOLISP_FUNC is exactly the sort of specialized casting facility
where -Wconversion is more likely to mess up than usual, which is why I
suggested disabling -Wconversion there in pdumper.c. -Wconversion is not
as useful elsewhere, which is why I suggested leaving INTEGER_TO_CONS alone.

Sure, revert the pdumper change to INTEGER_TO_CONS but leave pdumper.c
alone, by applying the attached patch to pdumper. The compile on a
platform where EMACS_INT is 32 bits, using GCC 7.3.1 20180130 (Red Hat
7.3.1-2). The resulting diagnostic is a false alarm:
pdumper.c: In function ‘intmax_t_to_lisp’:
pdumper.c:694:29: error: conversion to ‘EMACS_INT {aka int}’ from
‘intmax_t {aka long long int}’ may alter its value [-Werror=conversion]
return INTEGER_TO_CONS (value); \
^
lisp.h:3572:19: note: in definition of macro ‘INTEGER_TO_CONS’
? make_number (i) \
^
pdumper.c:698:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘DEFINE_TOLISP_FUNC’
DEFINE_TOLISP_FUNC (intmax_t_to_lisp, intmax_t);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This false alarm is due to a GCC bug. GCC is supposed to take
expressions like this one (adapted from INTEGER_TO_CONS):
(MOST_NEGATIVE_FIXNUM <= i && i <= MOST_POSITIVE_FIXNUM
? make_number (i)
: something_else (i))
and evaluate make_number (i) in the context of i being in range for
fixnums (which means i is in range for EMACS_INT). In this particular
case, GCC has a bug where it forgets i's range, and thus the false alarm.
I'd file a bug report with the GCC folks, but in the past my experience
is that they don't take -Wconversion bug reports all that seriously. In
practice, -Wconversion isn't good enough for high-quality code like what
Emacs should be.
> -Wconversion helped me find real bugs and otherwise mysterious bugs in

Yes, -Wconversion can find bugs, particularly the first time one writes
a program when the program has lots of bugs that need finding. But its
false-alarm rate is too high to be useful in high-quality code. Although
it's OK to use -Wconversion temporarily in new or otherwise-buggy areas,
we shouldn't encourage its use in the part of Emacs that is intended to
be stable and high-quality.

I mean code that is written with reasonable care to check for ranges,
much as Emacs normally does. For example, INTEGER_TO_CONS checks for
ranges before converting its argument to EMACS_INT. When such code runs
afoul of -Wconversion, my experience is that the false alarm rate is so
high that -Wconversion causes more trouble than it's worth. I suspect
that pdumper.c also had a bunch of false alarms, which is why it
contains all that gorp with ALLOW_IMPLICIT_CONVERSION and
DISALLOW_IMPLICIT_CONVERSION. I'll try to pry free some time to look in
more detail at pdumper.c and see whether there's a way to fix it without
worrying so much about -Wconversion.

Which is why I advocate not using -Wconversion: as a rule, -Wconversion
takes good code and makes it worse. Of course there are always
exceptions, and perhaps pdumper.c is one of those exceptions.

Thanks Daniel. I compiled with the flags suggested in DEBUG and ran for a few minutes. No issues to report on that test run, which includes heavy face customizations, plenty of subprocesses, and about 100 packages :) Wonderful work!
Some notes:
* After bootstrapping (pbootstrap), load_dump took 77.82ms ± 13.63ms
* After the final dump (pdump), load_dump took 33.70ms ± 10.22ms
* I tried to use dump-emacs-portable, but it crashed. I've pasted the backtrace at the bottom of this email.
Thanks again!
Clément.

OK, I've looked at the code, both in sysdep.c and in pdumper.c. My
conclusion is that there's no real problem in sysdep.c, due to these
comments:
/* Maximum number of bytes to read or write in a single system call.
This works around a serious bug in Linux kernels before 2.6.16; see
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=612839>.
It's likely to work around similar bugs in other operating systems, so do it
on all platforms. Round INT_MAX down to a page size, with the conservative
assumption that page sizes are at most 2**18 bytes (any kernel with a
page size larger than that shouldn't have the bug). */
#ifndef MAX_RW_COUNT
#define MAX_RW_COUNT (INT_MAX >> 18 << 18)
#endif
/* Read from FD to a buffer BUF with size NBYTE.
If interrupted, process any quits and pending signals immediately
if INTERRUPTIBLE, and then retry the read unless quitting.
Return the number of bytes read, which might be less than NBYTE.
On error, set errno to a value other than EINTR, and return -1. */
static ptrdiff_t
emacs_intr_read (int fd, void *buf, ptrdiff_t nbyte, bool interruptible)
{
ssize_t result;
/* There is no need to check against MAX_RW_COUNT, since no caller ever
passes a size that large to emacs_read. */
do
{
if (interruptible)
maybe_quit ();
result = read (fd, buf, nbyte);
}
while (result < 0 && errno == EINTR);
Since MAX_RW_COUNT is less than INT_MAX, we have no real problem here
for MS-Windows, as 'nbyte' will never overflow an unsigned int. We
could add an eassert there, for Windows only, though, to make this
assumption explicit.
As for pdumper, we could do one of 2 things:
. make a reasonable assumption that no .pdmp file will ever be larger
than 2GB, change the assertion there which checks against SSIZE_MAX
to check against UINT_MAX instead, and work internally with
unsigned int instead of size_t counts; or
. write a separate Windows-specific version of dump_read_all, which
in the 64-bit build would limit to UINT_MAX the number of bytes we
read on each iteration through the loop.
Daniel, which of these 2 alternatives do you prefer? Or does anyone
have a better proposal? (I already considered rewriting the code in
w32.c:sys_read so that it accepts a size_t last argument, and decided
it was unjustified for this single caller, as all the other direct
calls to 'read' in Emacs either use fixed small byte counts, or are
not compiled in the Windows build.)
Thanks.

On Apple's version of FSF GCC, I saw these kinds of errors:
CC pdumper.o
pdumper.c:63: warning: unknown option after ‘#pragma GCC diagnostic’ kind
pdumper.c: In function ‘dump_reloc_set_offset’:
pdumper.c:289: error: #pragma GCC diagnostic not allowed inside functions
pdumper.c:289: error: #pragma GCC diagnostic not allowed inside functions
pdumper.c:291: error: #pragma GCC diagnostic not allowed inside functions
They're fixed locally with this patch:
diff --git a/src/pdumper.c b/src/pdumper.c
index a05b2c4..844ec25 100644
--- a/src/pdumper.c

# pragma GCC diagnostic error "-Wconversion"

Afterwards I had only this error remaining:
pdumper.c: In function ‘dump_anonymous_allocate_posix’:

pdumper.c:4043: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

Seems like MAP_ANONYMOUS is not defined on all systems -- I don't know
where to go from there.

I’m pretty sure this will disable these pragmas for more recent clang
versions on macOS, and probably any newer version of GCC people have
compiled themselves..

Whoops, my bad. If there's a feature test for pragmas, that would of
course be better.

You're right that the problem is in dump_mmap_contiguous. I stepped
through it in gdb and found the following:
1. The call to dump_anonymous_allocate at pdumper.c:4432 succeeds.
2. We enter the loop at pdumper.c:4451 with i = 0. dump_map_file is
called, which calls dump_map_file_posix with protection =
DUMP_MEMORY_ACCESS_READWRITE.
3. This calls mmap at line 4219 with mem_prot = PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE
and mem_flags = MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED.
4. This mmap call fails.
I don't know if this is a bug in Cygwin's mmap or simply a limitation
that has to be worked around. Should I take this to the Cygwin mailing
list, or do you have other ideas as to how to proceed?

That's an illusion. I was doing a parallel build, and the output I
posted simply showed the first few files that emacs was trying to compile.

This way, we'd be able to make a self-contained "emacs" binary that wouldn't need special installation. (arc-mode would keep find-library working.) We could even mmap files from the zip archive as long as the files are suitably aligned and STOREd instead of compressed; Android uses this trick to map stuff sitting inside APK files.
Embedding the Lisp support code (or other things) via C character arrays during the build process would also work, and would be cleaner, though it specifically fails to handle your dump-file issue, unless you do go the route of patching up an embedded array later. I do think that’s probably cleaner than appending arbitrary data to an executable.
(On a tangent to that, I’ve got some experimental patches around for embedding the C doc strings in the executable, halfway to eliminating the need for the separate DOC file.)
Tying the dump to the executable image required to make it work does seem like a win. I’m not sure I’d call it entirely “self-contained” unless you could somehow fold in the info files, support executables like movemail and hexl, etc., sort of like the “app” bundle on macOS does (really a directory but the GUI treats it as one object for moving around).

OK, here's Corinna's answer:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-02/msg00202.html
It seems like she's suggesting the same unmap-before-remap approach that
you mentioned.

Should be fixed. Note that the dump will still fail: we can't dump
window configuration objects. But at least Emacs won't crash.

The patch for this in commit b7da1a5af8f1 is not quite right:
+ /* Some platforms accept only int-sized values to read. */

Windows platforms use sys_read from w32.c:
int sys_read(int fd, char *buffer, unsigned int count);
The limit for a chunk should be INT_MAX (not UINT_MAX) so that it
is representable in the (signed) return value.

Is the return value int too? Or is it a ssize_t that can hold UINT_MAX?
If the former, agreed.

We should be able to change sys_read to return ssize_t instead. Can
you try that?

Thanks for testing. I don't have a PowerPC handy. I guess I can go find
an emulator, but in the meantime: can you think of anything specific to
PowerPC that might break the code? Word size? pdumper works for me in
both 32- and 64-bit forms on x86. Endian? AIUI, PowerPC has selectable
endianness. Are you big- or little-endian? Besides, pdumper *should* be
endian-neutral. And if we were looking at an endianness mismatch, I'd
expect a much bigger mismatch than 544 vs. 536. What stack do you have
there? Does your system use natural alignment?

I looked at the w32 code --- we give the size to _read directly in the
non-pipe, non-socket, non-serial case, and MSDN doesn't say what happens
when size > INT_MAX, so in the interest of being rather safe than sorry,
I just changed the pdumper code to use INT_MAX. It shouldn't matter in
practice.

That's pure luck. There is nothing that forces the size of struct
buffer to be EMACS_INT aligned.

Then you need to fix that.

Thanks, this seems to have partly done the trick. I now get "Invalid face: eldoc-highlight-function-argument" when trying to redump, which is indeed better than a crash. Is that the error you expected?
I tried redumping after loading a smaller init file, but I got assertion failures; here's a repro:

Hi Daniel,
the recently introduced `dmpstruct.awk` script fails with a non-GNU awk:
POSIX awk does not like a | occurring just after a grouping ( or just
before a ) in a regular expression. The attached patch fixes the syntax
preserving the meaning of the regular expressions.
Cheers,
Dan

Comments mentioning MAX_RW_COUNT show that somebody checked an invariant
when writing the comment, but they do not guarantee that the invariant
will continue to be maintained in future versions of emacs. A check that
can be enforced by the compiler is preferable.

This seems perfectly reasonable, and is the current implementation,
albeit checking for INT_MAX.

This offers more opportunity for divergent implementations, so the other
option is preferable.

Is there a gnulib replacement for read() that works for emacs, so that
we could use the proper prototype even on Windows ? If so we could get
rid of sys_read etc.

The branch currently fails for out of tree builds (tested with mingw64

I'm sure Ken will soon report some more rigorous testing, but I have
successfully built a Cygwin w32 build of emacs, which runs gnus well
enough to send this. I haven't tried the X11 build.

I added an assertion there (on master) that should make the code more
future-proof.

No, the current code actually breaks the reads into chunks no larger
than INT_MAX. So it doesn't assume a .pdmp file cannot be at most
2GB.

I presumed that we will not want to punish other platforms by making
them read piecemeal. But if that's not an issue, I agree that the
second alternative is less elegant.

No, because sys_read does much more than just fix the Windows _read.

But then the following commit broke the build:
commit fca8372020248318f1d0007378607a912b19026e
Author: Daniel Colascione <dancol@dancol.org>
Date: Mon Feb 19 16:35:09 2018 -0800
eassert -> eassume in pdumper
More precisely, it broke a "standard" build (./configure && make). The
build fails as follows:
[...]
Finding pointers to doc strings...done
Dumping under the name bootstrap-emacs.pdmp
dumping fingerprint:
d3d1723e85f76355cab6880175f65823cbad50b923958d6dcb4b5e78a766a04e
make[1]: *** [Makefile:779: bootstrap-emacs.exe] Segmentation fault
(core dumped)
If I configure with --enable-checking, or if I build without
optimization, then the build succeeds again.
This is on 64-bit Cygwin. I haven't tried any other platform.

I spoke too soon. Commit fca8372020248318f1d0007378607a912b19026e is causing
./temacs --batch --load loadup pbootstrap
to segfault. As far as I can tell, all that commit does is replace
eassert with eassume, but reverting it causes the crash to go away.

In my experience, eassume (and 'assume') shouldn't be used for
complicated expressions, as GCC is too-easily confused by them. eassume
should be used only for expressions where the assumption really does
help the compiler, either by generating significantly-better code or by
pacifying a false alarm.

No, --enable-checking=all gets me a different segfault:

I'd hoped things had gotten better, and some local testing seemed to
suggest it was safe to use these days. Apparently it's not, which is a
shame. It'd be nice, but not urgent, to track down which specific
assumptions caused what I think must be miscompilations so we could
report them upstream.

And in fact I get that segfault even with
fca8372020248318f1d0007378607a912b19026e reverted, but only with
--enable-checking=all

Can you repro with an -O0 build?

The guilty change is:
--- a/src/pdumper.c
+++ b/src/pdumper.c
@@ -607,7 +607,7 @@ dump_set_have_current_referrer (struct dump_context *ctx, bool have)
static void
DUMP_CLEAR_REFERRER (struct dump_context *ctx)
{
- eassert (ctx->have_current_referrer);
+ eassume (ctx->have_current_referrer);
dump_set_have_current_referrer (ctx, false);
if (dump_tracking_referrers_p (ctx))
ctx->current_referrer = Qnil;
If I revert just that hunk, the build succeeds.

Wow: thanks for tracking that down.
What on earth? I mean, we're instructing the compiler to assume
something that's both trivial and true. What GCC version is this? If
it's recent, I think it's probably worth reporting.

$ gcc --version
gcc-5.real (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.6) 5.4.0 20160609
I have a gcc-8-ish somewhere that I can rev up to see if it has the
same problem, but probably not soon.

I wonder whether the --enable-checking=all code is just busted somehow.
Emacs doesn't finish dumping itself in master either: loadup seems to
spin after trying to load files.el, even with -O3, and on the pdumper
branch, we crash in temacs during early loadup well before we do
anything with pdumper. I'll keep looking when I can.

That gcc-8 turned out to be easy to get ready, and it shows the same
problem (and solution). So now I have an alpha branch of emacs being
allegedly miscompiled by a non-released tip-of-tree version of gcc, in
a feature that messes around with the guts of Emacs' object
representations.
I find it hard to assign blame here. Should I start using unreleased
binutils next? :-)

That "somebody" was me. That is, I looked at all the callers of these
functions and checked that none of them go above MAX_RW_COUNT. That
being said, it doesn't hurt to put in an eassert to check this as well
(thanks, Eli). It would be a pain to check all the callers at
compile-time, alas.

There is. However, the Gnulib 'read' does some stuff that the Emacs
'read' doesn't (and vice versa). Nobody has taken the time to try to
unify them, and it's possible that unifying them would not be a good
idea overall.

While I've got little to add the discussion of the innards, this
occurred to me also. In fact, I've been trying it -- I figured that
a "redump Emacs after load .emacs" would be a fairly attractive option,
especially if it was automated.
Anyway, at the moment, I can't get it to work. Calling this:
(dump-emacs-portable "~/scratch/test.pdmp")
after loading my .emacs works (early versions crashed, so something's
been fixed there). However, trying to use this:
./src/emacs -q --dump-file ~/scratch/test.pdmp
emacs: could not load dump file "/home/phillord/scratch/test.pdmp": not a dump file

Dumping from ./src/emacs -q
gives me this in *Messages* after the dump (although the call to
dump-emacs-portable returns without error).
eval: unsupported object type in dump: SAVE_POINTER
and this on trying to reload with
./src/emacs -q --dump-file ~/scratch/test.pdmp
Gives:
dump file is result of failed dump attempt
on the command line. On an emacs started with
./src/emacs
and running the various stuff in my .emacs, I get this:
eval: unsupported object type in dump: window configuration
Likewise, cannot restart with --dump-file. This is running on Ubuntu
16.04.3, 64 bit.

You can pass t to dump-emacs-portable to see where the unsupported values come from. For me SAVE_POINTERs came from loading dbus, and window configurations from loading winner-mode.

I love when people use features that aren't even properly documented
yet. :-)
I'm imagining using 'with-wrapper-hook' (or, since it's deprecated,
'add-function') to give modes a chance to tweak the global lisp
environment that pdumper sees, avoiding some of these problems. Another
option, which isn't necessarily mutually exclusive, is to provide a list
of symbols to dump as nil.
For now, you're going to get the most reliable results dumping a -batch
Emacs.

For the benefit of readers of this list who have been asked to test the
pdumper branch and report their findings, can you please describe what is
expected to work correctly, and which areas still need additional work.
Please add the "--dump-file" command line argument to the command line
help in usage_message[] in emacs.c.

I assumed that this was the case. Do you want bug reports about dumping
a non-batch? I think the use case of speeding up start up is a good one
to address, but I am aware that it's an add-on that Emacs doesn't
support at the moment. Getting the dumper stable for normal development
use is the main thing.

They are 4 weeks that pdumper branch is not synchronized, should we continue to test it?
During this time, builds of that branch have been tested on Windows, GNU/Linux and macOS without showing any specific issue...

I just test-merged it to master, with only two issues:
1. a merge conflict in src/nsfont.m as a result of 7ff62ed221c
2. The Lisp_Buffer_Local_Value hash has changed, although itʼs not
clear to me why, since I only see comment changes in its definition. I
updated dmpstruct.h, and the build works fine (it runs gnus, as proven
by this message).

I think what is left is minor. Some things that come to mind:
. Some minimal documentation (manual, NEWS).
. I don't think versioned installs are supported, as the code will
always try to load emacs.pdmp, AFAIR, even when the binary is
called emacs-XX.YY.ZZ.
. There's also the issue of the "legacy" dumping. I'm guessing we
will want to leave that in the sources for the time being? If so,
did anyone try to build the branch using that, and did it work as
expected?
. One other thing to try is to build on one system, then unpack the
binary distro on another binary-compatible system, perhaps with a
different directory tree structure, and see if everything works.

And in configure. Itʼs not clear to me what the various combinations
of --with-dumping and --with-pdumper are supposed to see (see below).

./configure --with-dumping=unexec --with-pdumper=no && src/emacs -Q
# uses unexec, doesnʼt support pdump. OK
./configure --with-dumping=unexec && src/emacs -Q
# uses unexec, doesnʼt support pdump. OK

we've been built with unexec?
In any case, the old unexec code looks like it still works on my
system.

I build Emacs also for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) but I do the build on GNU/Linux Mint (*) because it is a bit faster. The build creates a tar ball which I then install on WSL (both in Win 10 Pro 64 and in Win 10 Home 64). This build does not use X because WSL doesn't too..
Generally, the build I do on Win 10 64 (W64 native, i.e. MSYS2/MinGW64) is also installed in Win 10 Home.

(*) Both Mint and WSL uses Ubuntu 16.04

I've just skimmed the diff, and I think the change is a significant
improvement, and will help with my GC experiments even though I'm
probably never going to be able to use the portable dumper. Some minor
comments:
it is not clear to me why some staticpro's are moved to happen after
the initialisation of the variable and some aren't. Maybe we should
change staticpro to have a
void staticpro(Lisp_Object *ptr, Lisp_Object initial_value);
signature and save some lines of code?

Are those two intentional?
I would vaguely prefer if "pdumper" names were limited to the actual
pdumper implementation, and "dumper" names were used instead in code
that does not depend on the implementation of the dumper. So we'd have
dumper_object_p(), defined to false if there's no dumper, and
pdumper_object_p otherwise. This would make things slightly easier for
(a) competing implementations (b) abusing the DUMPER_* machinery for
GC experiments (c) possibly extending pdumper to combine several
images rather than use a single one. It would also help avoid _impl
names.
I think it's worth mentioning that staticpro is now required for
variables that used to be safe: this change comes at the price of a
tiny performance hit because of the additional GC roots, but it's
worth it, IMHO.
Apart from that, there appear to be no disadvantages for people who
prefer to continue using unexec. Is that correct?

The code has always been a bit unclear about that; we don't GC that
early, so it doesn't really matter- -- but if we did, we'd be saved by
nil being all zero these days.

Sometimes the value from .data is perfectly good though, and at that
point, the initial_value setting would be a waste.

I'd rather not do a big renaming at this point. Nothing stops someone
doing cleanup work post-merge if sufficiently motivated.

That's correct.

No objections to removing unexec, as long as temacs remains an option
:-) I haven't thought about dumping/restoring SpiderMonkey state, but
as it's hairy enough to get things working with setjmp(), I'd rather
not worry about it now.
I do have a half-finished (working, but not thoroughly tested) unexec
for asm.js, too, which sped things up somewhat, but I don't see why
the portable dumper wouldn't work there, too.

Well, Qnil isn't all zero (or even constant) here, and I do GC
unpredictably, though hopefully never that early; I'm still safe if
the staticpro goes first: the all-zero value, representing 0.0, is
fine for GC.

... as are explicit Qnil initializations, in general. So
inline void staticpro(Lisp_Object *ptr, Lisp_Object initial_value)
{
assume(*ptr == Qnil);
real_staticpro(ptr);
if (initial_value != Qnil)
*ptr = initial_value;
}
would actually reduce code size. But, again, it'd be better to merge
first, then optimize such minor things.

I just tried to build on macOS for the first time in a while and I get
this in ‘make install’
Unknown option ‘--temacs=pbootstrap’
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs.pdmp] Error 255
make: *** [src] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
I also think we still need to get the pdmp file copied into the
Emacs.app file structure.

Sorry, never mind. I rebuilt from scratch and it’s fine. Must have
been something left over from a previous build.

Okay, GCC doesn't appear to optimize that expression by default, but
I've attached a patch which does keep stripped binary size constant.
It reduces C code size a little, avoids the ambiguity of whether
staticpro or the initialization goes first, removes the Qnil == 0
assumption from a few places and generally seems like a slight
improvement to me. Totally independent from the pdumper patch, of
course. (And I'd prefer the pdumper patch to go in first.)
