Topic: Why does this generated function segfault?

I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid, but I'd appreciate some pointers as to what's going wrong here.

julia> f(x) = x + 1
f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> @generated function foo(_, x)
           ci_orig = ci = code_lowered(f, (Any,))[1]
           ci = ccall(:jl_copy_code_info, Ref{Core.CodeInfo}, (Any,), ci_orig)
           return ci
       end
foo (generic function with 1 method)

julia> foo(f, 1)

I'm trying to do the equivalent of IRTools.func without needing IRTools but I don't understand why it's not working.

view this post on Zulip Takafumi Arakaki (tkf) (Feb 18 2021 at 06:59):

Don't you need @generated function foo(x) instead of foo(_, x)? Or, if you want to change the arity (i.e., create a ci for 2-arg function foo(f, x) from 1-arg function f(x)), I guess you can do it by mutating ci?

view this post on Zulip Eric Forgy (Feb 18 2021 at 07:01):

I have no idea and could unsurprisingly be wrong, but it looks like ci and ci_orig are not only initialized to the same value, they are the same objects so modifying one will modify the other (ignore me if that is intended).

Ohh, I didn't even think about this. In IRTools.jl you need to add an extra argument for the self slot if you do something similar. I guess Julia is smart enough with it's own CodeInfo object that this isn't necessary

You can also manually add slots to CodeInfo, but if you just copy it, it will of course give you the same number of slots as the function you copy it from.

I didn't want to add slots, I thought I needed to add an argument to foo in order to account for the internal #self# slot in the CodeInfo, but I was mistaken

e.g.

julia> ci = code_lowered(f, (Any,))[1];

julia> ci.slotnames
2-element Vector{Symbol}:
 Symbol("#self#")
 :x

I was just thrown off because it's different from IRTools.func

julia> using IRTools

julia> ir = IRTools.@code_ir f(1)
1: (%1, %2)
  %3 = %2 + 1
  return %3

julia> g = IRTools.func(ir)
##280 (generic function with 1 method)

julia> methods(g)
# 1 method for generic function "##280":
[1] var"##280"(arg1, arg2) in IRTools.Inner at /home/mason/.julia/packages/IRTools/aSVI5/src/eval.jl:18

julia> g(g, 1)
2

Maybe a MWE for the OP is something like this (though it's incomplete)

@generated function foo(f, x)
    ci, = code_lowered(f.instance, (x,))
    ci = ccall(:jl_copy_code_info, Ref{Core.CodeInfo}, (Any,), ci)
    for c in ci.code
        c isa Expr || continue
        for (i, a) in pairs(c.args)
            if a isa Core.SlotNumber && a.id > 1
                c.args[i] = Core.SlotNumber(a.id + 1)
            end
        end
    end
    insert!(ci.slotnames, 2, Symbol("#f#"))
    insert!(ci.slotflags, 2, 0x00)
    return ci
end

Again, I did not want to add slots! Your first suggestion was correct. All I needed to do was remove that extra argument

julia> f(x) = x + 1
f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> @generated function foo(x)
           ci_orig = ci = code_lowered(f, (Any,))[1]
           ci = ccall(:jl_copy_code_info, Ref{Core.CodeInfo}, (Any,), ci_orig)
           return ci
       end
foo (generic function with 1 method)

julia> foo(1)
2

is exactly what I wanted to do
