grain compile very slow

[loveencounterflow]

On Linux Mint, I installed grain using the command line from the docs which got me grain 0.3.1. When I run grain demo.gr or grain compile demo.gr with a file containing only print("helo world"), some *.wasm files are produced under target/, but then the executable is seemingly stuck and does not print anything to the terminal. silent for around 10 minutes or so and only then prints out the message; re-running the same command on an unchanged file still takes almost a minute. Is this to be expected?

The current binary downloads do unfortunately run slowly, as they are a packaged node application with the compiler compiled from OCaml to Javascript (using JS_of_OCaml). It will take a long time on the first run as it is compiling the standard library modules (and is also running as a JS app).

If you are able to compile the source code, it will take a while as it needs the OCaml compiler and toolchain, but after that you should find compiles are pretty fast.

Thanks for your consideration!

So I did

pnpm install -g yarn esy
git clone git://github.com/grain-lang/grain path/to/grain
cd path/to/grain
yarn compiler build

which ran for like 30 mintues but then stopped with error:

... which is unfortunate. Any ideas what went wrong? It looks like

error: command failed: 'dune' 'build' '--no-buffer' (exited with 1)

is what caused the error. Now I don't have a dune executable in the path and it cannot possibly refer to https://www.npmjs.com/package/dune, so it's not like another pnpm install -g would fix that issue...

[marcusroberts]

I don't have an immediate answer, but those errors seem to be related to an different versions of C++11, typically seen when different components are compiled with different versions of GCC, typically a library compiled with an earlier version linking to a program compiled with a later version.

[loveencounterflow]

In that case, how could I find out about the required or conflicting versions?

[marcusroberts]

That's the hard part :(. Can I check though, which version of node are you running?

[loveencounterflow]

My Node version is 15.12.0

[marcusroberts]

I can't guarantee this will help, but node 14 is the version we recommend. If you use NVM you could switch to 14 to see if that helps?

[loveencounterflow]

OK hang on, it'll take some time again...

Update Nope, didn't work with node 14.16.1. This time around yarn compiler build took only 13s so it obviously re-used stuff from the previous build which could have introduced errors. The error message looks just the same as above.

[marcusroberts]

The compile being that fast is worrying. The reason we put out the binaries is although they are slow they let us avoid these compile time warnings. I'll ping the rest of the team as I think we include some binaries in the source build too for some of the build tools and this may be where the issue is. You may want (if you're feeling brave) to clear out the previously built artifacts such as node_modules and your esy cache.

I'm going to get Linux Mint set up in a VM to see if I could reproduce the issue - what version are you running?

[marcusroberts]

This looks similar to #569

[loveencounterflow]

The compile being that fast is worrying. [...] clear out the previously built artifacts such as node_modules and your esy cache.

My thinking exactly, so I went and re-installed yarn and esy and also trashed ~/.esy (after doing some searching for artifacts). The compile time is now down to 17 minutes from 30, which might mean I did not catch all dependencies (I'm doing this on a laptop though and when the compiling gets into the critical phase I'm reading 80% RAM usage which is when I quit the browser to avoid thrashing; there should consequently be a high timing variability because the system load is not trivial).

The OS version is Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia so not the newest one.

[loveencounterflow]

This looks similar to #569

Yes it does the last few output lines read the same. Where does this dune executable into play and where is it located?

[marcusroberts]

Can you run

cc -v

(or gcc -v)

and tell me the C compiler version you're running please?

[loveencounterflow]

Here you go:

[benracine]

I'm seeing 30+ second compile times on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th hello world examples. Not sure if that's typical of indicative that I'm seeing this same issue.

I'm using Node version v14.16.0 and

Apple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0

[marcusroberts]

No surprise but I get the same compile error on a clean install of Mint 19.3. Now I can reproduce the problem I'll see if I can fix it.

[marcusroberts]

@loveencounterflow I'm going to carry on with this issue in #569 as that's about compiling grain.

@benracine the performance problem you see is the linking phase which does take around this amount of time with the JS version of the tools.

[MarkTiedemann]

Same on Windows. 16 seconds for nth compile of hello.gr.

[phated]

Same on Windows. 16 seconds for nth compile of hello.gr.

Yes, we are aware of the performance of the packaged binaries. Static linking is ~80% of that time. --no-link should run in ~5 seconds.

[cloudspeech]

I don't see this being predominantly static-linking time in my measurements. Evidently, the times are far too slow... Binary from https://grain-lang.org/docs/getting_grain#MacOS-x64---Homebrew, downloaded just now.

[ospencer]

Fast compile times can be achieved by building the compiler from source. You can find instructions here: https://grain-lang.org/docs/getting_grain#Building-Grain-from-Source

We plan to ship fast native binaries later this year / early next year.

[emummel20]

@ospencer Hi 👋 , I see this issue is Open. May I ask what the status is? Are there still these slowness issues with the complier? Any luck shipping faster binaries? Thank you.

[ospencer]

Hey @emummel20! This will be resolved in the next version of Grain, v0.5.0. Should be out within a few weeks :)
