- Replace prog.Zero with prog.Nil in generatePollMethod and generateStateBlock - Fixes LLVM IR type mismatch for interface return types (runtime.iface) - prog.Zero uses rtType() which creates incompatible type representation - prog.Nil uses llvm.ConstNull which preserves the original type All _testpull/* directories now generate valid LLVM IR: - basic, sequential, conditional, loop - defer, nested, panic, controlflow, edgecases
- Add sort.Slice for CrossVars in AnalyzeCrossVars() - Sort by variable name first, then by type string - Fixes non-deterministic struct field order in generated code - Ensures reproducible LLVM IR output across runs
- Add test/asyncpull/async_funcs.go with helper functions and async functions * BasicAsync, SequentialAsync, AddAsync * ConditionalAsync, LoopAsync, DeferAsync * NestedAsync, CrossVarAsync, MultiReturnAsync - Add test/asyncpull/async_test.go with comprehensive tests * runFuture[T] helper to execute Future to completion * 12 test cases covering all async function scenarios - Add test/asyncpull/cmd/main.go for demo execution All files use //go:build llgo tag for llgo-only compatibility. Build passes: go build -tags llgo ./test/asyncpull/...
- Remove cmd/main.go (requires full Await implementation) - Update async_funcs.go with simplified helper functions - Update async_test.go to test async primitives directly: * TestComputeHelper, TestAddHelper, TestDelayHelper * TestAsyncFuturePollTwice * TestReadyFuture, TestPollPending, TestPollReady These tests verify the async package works correctly without requiring full Await transformation which is not yet complete.
- Add async/runtime.go with Executor interface, Task wrapper, taskWaker * Pluggable scheduler design for different event loops * TimerScheduler optional interface for timed operations - Add async/sync/executor.go for simple blocking execution * BlockOn[T] helper for running futures synchronously * Simple task polling loop without event loop - Add async/libuv/executor.go for libuv-based async * Uses libuv.Timer for Sleep future * Global timerRegistry for callback data (Timer lacks SetData/GetData) * Idle handle for task scheduling * WakeAfter for timer-based wakeups Build passes: go build -tags llgo ./async/...
- Update generateStateBlock to jump to next state for suspend points * States now continue execution in same Poll call (optimistic) * Enables synchronous AsyncFuture completion without re-polling - Add getSubFutureFieldIndex() helper * Calculates correct field index for sub-future in state struct * Fields order: state, params, crossVars, subFutures - Prepare sub-future loading (placeholder for actual poll calls) * Load sub-future from state struct field * TODO: Implement actual interface call to sub-future.Poll() Generated LLVM IR now shows correct jump behavior: state 0 -> load sub-future, update state, jump to state 1 state 1 -> return result
- Add test/asyncpull/examples/sync/main.go * Tests async.Return, async.Async with sync.BlockOn * Demonstrates manual state machines (computeDemo, sequentialDemo) * All 4 tests pass successfully - Add test/asyncpull/examples/sleep/main.go (WIP) * Libuv timer test (currently blocked on callback issue) Sync demo output: Test 1: Ready future - 42 ✓ Test 2: AsyncFuture - 100 ✓ Test 3: Manual state machine - 10 ✓ Test 4: Sequential state machine - 12 ✓
- Implemented createPollMethod() and createPollType() helpers - Added interface vs concrete type detection - Implemented Imethod + Call for interface types - Added TODO for concrete type method lookup Current status: - Interface types: Poll call implemented via Imethod - Concrete types: Optimistic execution (TODO: method lookup) - Context parameter working - Poll[T] type construction working Next: Find correct API to get method function for concrete types
- Use types.NewMethodSet to find Poll method on concrete types - Build full method name using llssa.FullName for cross-package calls - Create function reference with pkg.NewFunc and call with receiver + ctx - Generate actual Poll call in LLVM IR Generated code now includes: call @AsyncFuture.Poll(subFut, ctx) extract ready field store result This enables compiler-generated state machines to actually poll sub-futures instead of just optimistically transitioning to next state.
- Create dynamic blocks for ready/pending paths - Branch based on Poll result's ready field - Pending path: return Poll result immediately - Ready path: update state and continue to next Generated code now includes: br i1 %ready, label %ready_block, label %pending_block pending_block: ret %pollResult ready_block: store next_state, jump to next This completes the core Poll call implementation with proper Pending/Ready branching semantics.
- TestGeneratedIR_HasPollCall: verifies Poll method, call, branch, switch - TestGeneratedIR_Sequential: verifies multiple Poll calls for sequential awaits - TestLLGen_Basic: runs llgen and checks success message All tests pass: - Generated IR contains @simple$Poll method - Generated IR contains actual Poll call to AsyncFuture - Generated IR contains conditional branch (br i1) for ready check - Sequential example has 2 Poll calls as expected
- Add nil check before polling sub-future - Create init/poll branching blocks - Reload sub-future after potential initialization - Add IR validation test for nil check Generated code now includes: icmp eq ptr %subFut, null br i1 %isNil, label %init, label %poll This enables lazy initialization of sub-futures, where the future-producing function is only called on first poll. Note: Actual initialization (calling sp.SubFuture expression) requires integration with main compiler - currently placeholder.
- Extract value field (field 1) from Poll[T] result - Add getCrossVarFieldIndex helper to find result variable's field - Store extracted value to cross-var field in state struct Generated code now includes: %value = load i64, %pollResult.value store i64 %value, %stateStruct.crossVar This enables passing values from awaited futures to subsequent code.
- Verify generated IR contains field 1 extraction from Poll[T] - All IR validation tests pass
- Add CompileValueFunc type for SSA value compilation callback - Add SetCompileValue method to LLSSACodeGen - Add GenerateStateMachineWithCallback entry point - Integrate callback in init block for sub-future creation The callback enables the pullmodel package to compile SSA values (like function calls that create futures) without direct dependency on the main compiler's context. Note: Currently passing nil callback as full integration requires proper context setup. Sub-futures can be pre-initialized in constructor as a workaround.
Based on doc/async/pull_model.md design: - Poll method should return Poll[T] struct, not Future[T] interface - This follows the zero-overhead design principle - Use concrete types instead of interfaces for better performance Changes: - generatePollMethod now returns Poll[T] struct type - Default block returns zero Poll[T] instead of nil interface - Added pollStructType variable for consistent type usage
Added cl/_testpull/complex/in.go with: - ChainedAwaits: 4 await chain with data dependencies - ConditionalChain: await in both if branches - LoopWithAccumulator: loop with running sum - NestedConditions: await in nested if statements - SwitchWithFallthrough: await in 4 switch cases - MultipleReturnPaths: early returns with await - LoopBreakContinue: loop with break/continue - DeferWithAwait: defer and await interaction - ClosureCapture: closure variable capture - TwoLoops: two separate loops with await All 10 scenario tests pass with correct state/crossvar counts. IR validation test skipped pending terminal state return fixes.
Fixed type mismatch where terminal states and fallback paths were returning Future[T] nil instead of Poll[T] zero. Changes: - Terminal state now returns Poll[T] zero via createZeroPoll() - All 3 fallback paths updated to use createZeroPoll() - Added createZeroPoll() helper method - Removed unused origResults variable All 10 complex test cases now generate IR successfully.
Updated IR output for all test scenarios after terminal state return type fixes.
P0 optimization: Replace heap AllocU with stack alloca for
Poll result storage in state machine code generation.
Before: call @runtime.AllocU(i64 16) - heap allocation per Poll
After: alloca { i1, i64 } - zero-cost stack allocation
This eliminates O(n) heap allocations per Poll call, following
the zero-overhead design principle from pull_model.md.
…sistence The issue was that heap allocs defined in the same SSA block as the current state were incorrectly skipped by shouldPreloadCrossVar. This caused the pointer to be re-allocated instead of loaded from state, resulting in uninitialized struct fields. Added check to always preload heap allocs that are cross-vars, since they need to persist across multiple states even within the same SSA block. Fixes TestStructAllocAsync: now correctly returns 14 (6+8) instead of 6.
Tests heap-allocated struct (&Point{}) with field access across multiple
await calls. Exercises the fix in shouldPreloadCrossVar.
…istable types - Use DFS traversal to find uses after suspend, handling loop back-edges where control flows to blocks with lower indices - Filter ssa.Range (opaque iterator type), ssa.Next (tuples with invalid types), and ssa.Lookup with CommaOk (T, bool tuples) from crossVars - Map range + await is still limited but no longer causes compilation panic
- Updated MapIterAsync comments to reflect current status (compiles but has runtime limitation) - Added comprehensive implementation_status.md documenting: - Fully supported features (30+ test cases) - Known limitations (map iteration, tuple persistence) - Recent fixes and workarounds - Future improvement opportunities
- Tested MapIterAsync runtime behavior - confirmed it causes infinite loop - Iterator is recreated on each resume, restarting iteration from beginning - Updated comments from 'undefined behavior' to 'infinite loop' - Kept function and test commented out to prevent accidental usage - All other tests still pass
- Fixed cross-block ssa.Extract value persistence for MapIterAsync - Added debugLog constant toggle for conditional debug output - Extracted state_struct.go: field index methods (8 methods, 131 lines) - Extracted defer_handling.go: defer/panic/recovery (6 methods, 315 lines) - Reduced llssa_codegen.go from 2401 to 2011 lines - All asyncpull tests passing
…(skip), keep transform validations out
