https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87106 --- Comment #29 from Marc Glisse --- Note that __is_bitwise_relocatable is specialized to true for deque, so we are not super consistent here ;-) The original patch used is_trivially_move_constructible, IIRC I changed it to is_trivial so the review wouldn't turn into a lengthy discussion on the subject, but I don't think going back to is_trivially_move_constructible would cause miscompilations (maybe warnings with -Wsystem-headers).

--- Comment #25 from Jonathan Wakely ---
I think that's the answer, yes (although I haven't refreshed my memory of the
issues completely). A call to memmove does not begin the lifetime of any
objects at the destination address.
For types that are trivially-copyable but not trivial we could consider doing a
first pass over the range to default-initialize the destination objects, then
do the memmove to overwrite them with the desired values. In theory, the
optimizer would realize the default-initializations are dead stores and
completely remove that first loop (but only after the semantic checks have
concluded that we are obeying the languages rules and have no undefined
behaviour).
So change the bitwise_relocatable condition to is_trivially_copyable &&
is_default_constructible and make __relocate_a_1 do something like this
(completely untested, typing as I think about it):
template
struct __is_bitwise_relocatable
: __and_, is_default_constructible<_Tp>> { };
template
inline __enable_if_t::value, _Tp*>
__relocate_a_1(_Tp* __first, _Tp* __last,
_Tp* __result, allocator<_Up>& a) noexcept
{
ptrdiff_t __count = __last - __first;
if (__count > 0)
{
if constexpr (!is_trivial_v)
{
#ifdef __OPTIMIZE__
// begin lifetime of destination objects
std::__uninitialized_default_novalue_n(result, result + count);
#else
// can't do bitwise relocation today
for (ptrdiff_t i = 0; i < count; ++i)
__relocate_object_a(result + i, first + i, a);
return result + count;
#endif
}
__builtin_memmove(__result, __first, __count * sizeof(_Tp));
}
return __result + __count;
}

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87106 --- Comment #24 from Marc Glisse --- Something like that, yes. Essentially, I used trivial because I was convinced it was safe in that case, not because it looked like the perfect condition. If someone can convincingly argue for a weaker condition based on standard quotes (you need to convince Jonathan, not me), that would be nice.

Clang doesn't currently have such a builtin, but I am proposing it in https://reviews.llvm.org/D50119 (and I would rather rename the libstdc++ detail than the proposed Clang builtin). My concern is that if GCC/Clang EVER implement such a builtin, then that (newer) version of GCC/Clang would forever be unable to build this (older) version of libstdc++. I think that's not the end of the world, but I think we ought to preemptively avoid the situation if it's cheap to do so. I should have brought this up earlier, but as I said, it just dawned on me today.

Because deque is not noexcept-move-constructible. This means that by default it cannot execute the destructors right after the move constructors, so it does not have a chance to remove the unnecessary allocation. We really need to help it at the library level, and the potential gain is significant. For vector, the compiler sees a loop copying contiguous data from one place to another, so it should be able to produce a call to memcpy without help: PR 86024. There may be complications related to aliasing, I haven't looked at it yet. But I believe we should first explore making the compiler more clever, which would apply to a lot of code, before optimizing a special case in one library (which we could still do as a stopgap). I expect we may add some specializations for wrapper types like pair/tuple/optional/etc because we don't have compiler support to automatically handle them (like your attribute), although I am not sure how far we should go (without compiler support). Specializing for one type was a bit of a proof of concept, checking that the code was ready for it, it isn't a promise to specialize a lot more. I do still hope some version of destructive move will eventually be standardized and resolve the issue. This is all just my opinion, it may change, and others (in particular the maintainers) may have a different opinion. By the way, there won't be anything new for several months, this is gcc's hibernation season where it tries to properly digest all it has eaten during the summer.

As long as we deal with vector, we know that T is the real type so we are safe. But indeed for one-element functions like swap it is more dangerous.

The `optional` example in P1144R0 Appendix B looks scarier than I should have. For one thing, I omitted all the boring user-facing API of `optional` (emplace, reset, has_value, operator bool, operator*, operator->, ...) which would be implemented in the top level and thus shared by everyone. For another thing, I showed the metaprogramming for BOTH trivially relocatable AND trivially constructible/destructible in the same example.

[Bug libstdc++/87106] Group move and destruction of the source, where possible, for speed
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87106 --- Comment #9 from Marc Glisse --- I was looking into using relocation in std::swap. For a type like deque (if we ignore the swap overload), using memcpy is really worth it. For a more simple type like int, using memcpy loses type information, which can hurt other optimizations, so I'd rather stick to the typed assignments for swap. It isn't obvious what the right compromise is. Maybe types that are trivially relocatable but not trivially movable and destructible? Or just non-trivial? That might work if libstdc++ wasn't stuck with a legacy, non-trivial pair. For the array swap, I could use a large intermediate buffer on the side (memcpy really shines on large regions), possibly as large as the full array, but I would need to cap it to some safe size (hard to define). By the way, when swapping ranges of a type that does not specialize/overload swap, it seems wasteful to call swap on each element, because it creates a new temporary object for each element instead of reusing the same one. It may be possible to detect if swap would call an overload in a different namespace, but it seems harder to detect if std::swap was specialized).

We already have a number of similar constructs, like noexcept. Still better

The code is already there in the parser, calling it should not be too hard.
However, we end up with questions like: when is the expression evaluated?
Instantiating some member classes too eagerly could break some code.

...but which are is_nothrow_relocatable. Right. This is a good point in the
direction of maybe keeping is_nothrow_relocatable in P1144. I was thinking that
maybe it was pointless and should be removed until a use-case is found for it.
Now I'm even more unsure.

Agreed on all counts. Particularly for this attribute, I worry that the common
use-case would be something really ugly like
template
class [[trivially_relocatable(
is_trivially_relocatable_v &&
is_trivially_relocatable_v::pointer>
)]] vector {
};
which I hope you'd agree would be even more ridiculous than the current
metaprogramming/duplication. And then on top of that, parsing an attribute-list
would become as hard as parsing all of C++, which I don't think we want.

Hmm, I see what you mean, and that is a relevant and novel point AFAIC. The
judo dodge for P1144 here is to point out that if today we provide a way to
warrant/detect *trivial* relocation, well, that is not incompatible with
providing a way to *customize* relocation tomorrow. We just need to agree that
relocation ought to be "tantamount to" a move plus a destroy.

Yes, Denis Bider's P0023 "Relocator"
http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2016/p0023r0.pdf
went that route, and I think it was not well received -- or possibly just not
discussed at all, I'm not sure.
Thanks for the comments and the nice work!

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87106 --- Comment #6 from Marc Glisse --- Re-reading P1144R0 (those are not necessarily comments on the paper, just what comes to mind for gcc): 1) yes, an automatic detection mechanism would be nice, and an attribute makes sense. 2) the conditionally trivial stuff is not very convenient, it seems to involve a lot of code duplication. People regularly suggest attributes of the form [[trivially_relocatable(condition)]] which might reduce the noise but are harder to specify. 3) there are indeed many places outside of vector that can benefit from relocation. The compromises may not be the same though. For my use in vectors, relocation was never worse, it performed the same moves and destructions as the original. In other places, using relocation would replace a move-assignment with a construction and a destruction, which could be worse, so we may want to limit it to the trivially relocatable case. 4) I think it might be useful to be able to specify how to relocate an object that is not trivially relocatable. Relocating a pair where A is trivially relocatable and B is not can still benefit from doing piecewise relocations so it avoids A's super-costly move constructor. Ideally relocation would be a constructor or something similarly magic and the compiler would auto-generate it for aggregates, etc. But I am asking a bit much there... By the way, thanks for keeping destructive moves alive :-)

The patch is still missing more important pieces, like the ability to actually specialize __is_trivially_relocatable (I already have another patch locally with the missing piece). > I hope we get P1144 so that you don't have to waste time and brain cells > specializing `__is_trivially_relocatable` for std::string and std::pair > and so on. std::string is not trivially relocatable in libstdc++, so I won't waste any time there. IIRC, one difference with what you did is that I use relocation even for some types that are not trivially relocatable (in particular std::string), because it actually helps, as shown in the first message of this bug report. > Complete tangent: I'm confused how vector.tcc is allowed to use "if > constexpr" in C++11 mode. > https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/e9f84d4c#diff- > 05b068171cedf9d0176bada75d7dd112R76 It is enabled as an extension and produces a warning which is disabled in system headers.
[Bug libstdc++/87106] Group move and destruction of the source, where possible, for speed
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87106 Arthur O'Dwyer changed: What|Removed |Added CC||arthur.j.odwyer at gmail dot com --- Comment #4 from Arthur O'Dwyer --- Hi, I'm the author of P1144 "Object relocation in terms of move plus destroy". Awesome work you've done here! Have you seen my libc++ patch on the same topic as yours? https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/2018/07/18/announcing-trivially-relocatable/ https://github.com/Quuxplusone/libcxx/tree/trivially-relocatable/include Specifically, the piece that I think is still missing from libstdc++'s implementation (besides all the cool stuff that you'd get from the attribute) is the trait `__has_trivial_construct`. This trait allows you to write your `__relocate_a_1` generically, instead of special-casing it for `std::allocator` in particular. (So for example it could also get picked up for `std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator`... even though I guess I didn't implement that part for my libc++ patch, because I'm still waiting on to get merged.) Here's my `__has_trivial_construct`: https://github.com/Quuxplusone/libcxx/blob/99d734b4/include/memory#L5790-L5800 And here's how std::vector uses it (which is significantly different from how libstdc++'s std::vector is arranged, but I'm sure the trait would be the same): https://github.com/Quuxplusone/libcxx/blob/99d734b4/include/vector#L587-L600 I hope we get P1144 so that you don't have to waste time and brain cells specializing `__is_trivially_relocatable` for std::string and std::pair and so on. Complete tangent: I'm confused how vector.tcc is allowed to use "if constexpr" in C++11 mode. https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/e9f84d4c#diff-05b068171cedf9d0176bada75d7dd112R76

I moved _GLIBCXX_ASAN_ANNOTATE_REINIT after std::_Destroy because that's more convenient and it makes sense to me, but I am not familiar with those annotations...

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87106 --- Comment #1 from Marc Glisse --- Created attachment 44638 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=44638=edit proof of concept patch (diff -w) Trying to get an idea of how things could look like. I know is_trivially_move_constructible is not officially the right test to be allowed to use memmove, that's a detail that can easily be changed.
