cljrs_runtime/tiered/
ir_cache.rs

1//! Per-runtime cache of lowered IR, keyed by arity ID.
2//!
3//! Each `CljxFnArity` is assigned a unique `ir_arity_id` at creation time.
4//! When a function is called, its runtime's cache is consulted:
5//! - `NotAttempted` → try lowering
6//! - `Cached(ir)` → execute via the IR interpreter
7//! - `Unsupported` → fall back to tree-walking (don't retry)
8//!
9//! The hot path ([`IrCache::get`]) uses `RwLock` so concurrent reads don't
10//! contend.  Writes (store) are infrequent (only during lowering).
11//!
12//! ## Ownership
13//!
14//! An [`IrCache`] belongs to one [`GlobalEnv`], reached through
15//! [`GlobalEnv::ir_cache`]: two runtimes in one process never read or evict
16//! each other's entries, and a runtime's IR is freed when the runtime is.
17//!
18//! Some callers only hold an arity id, with no route back to the runtime that
19//! minted it — the background lowering worker, the JIT worker's publish
20//! guard, and the process-global var-rebind hook.  For those, this module
21//! keeps a weak index of live caches ([`LIVE`]) and exposes free functions
22//! that resolve through it.  Arity ids come from one process-wide counter, so
23//! at most one live cache can hold a given id and the lookup is unambiguous.
24//! Stage 4 replaces the JIT half of this with compiler state owned by the
25//! runtime; the index goes away with it.
26//!
27//! ## Cold-entry eviction (Phase 10.7)
28//!
29//! Cached entries carry a coarse last-access timestamp, refreshed on every
30//! [`IrCache::get`] hit.  [`sweep_idle`] — run from the stop-the-world reclaim
31//! pass once the background lowering worker is started — evicts entries idle
32//! longer than [`ir_cache_ttl_secs`].  The IR cache is deliberately *colder*
33//! than native code: eviction happens long after the last access, and only
34//! when GC pressure triggers a collection anyway.  Entries whose arity has
35//! published native code or a queued compile are never evicted (the IR is the
36//! deoptimization fallback), and `Unsupported` markers are kept forever (they
37//! are tiny and prevent retry storms).
38//!
