1 Introduction

#+TITLE: Fast Generic Functions

This library introduces /fast generic functions/, i.e., functions that
behave just like regular generic functions, except that the can be sealed
on certain domains.  If the compiler can then statically detect that the
arguments to a fast generic function fall within such a domain, it will
perform a variety of optimizations.

* Example 1 - Generic Find

This example illustrates how one can define a (hopefully) fast method
for finding items in a sequence.

The first step is to define a generic function whose generic function class
is =fast-generic-function=.

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defgeneric generic-find (item sequence &key test)
  (:generic-function-class fast-generic-functions:fast-generic-function))
#+END_SRC

Once this definition is loaded (and only then, so you shouldn't put the
next snippets in the same file as the defgeneric form), it is possible to
add methods to it in the usual way.

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defmethod generic-find (item (list list) &key (test #'eql))
  (and (member item list :test test)
       t))

(defmethod generic-find (item (vector vector) &key (test #'eql))
  (cl:find item vector :test test))

(seal-domain #'generic-find '(t list))
(seal-domain #'generic-find '(t vector))
#+END_SRC

The novelty are the two calls to =seal-domain=.  These calls seal the
specified part of the function domain, and at the same time install
compiler optimizations for calls to that generic function.

Whenever the compiler can detect that the arguments of a call to a fast
generic function fall within such a sealed domain, the entire call can be
optimized in a variety of ways.  By default, the call to the fast generic
function's discriminating function will be replaced by a direct call to a
custom effective method function.  This means that there will be zero
overhead for determining the generic function's behavior.  The following
example illustrates this:

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defun small-prime-p (x)
  (generic-find x '(2 3 5 7 11)))

;; The call to GENERIC-FIND should have been replaced by a direct call to
;; the appropriate effective method function.
(disassemble #'small-prime-p)
#+END_SRC

It is even possible to inline the entire effective method into the call
site.  However, to avoid code bloat, this feature is disabled by default.
To enable it, each method withing the sealed domain must contain an
appropriate declaration, as shown in the next example.

* Example 2 - Extensible Number Functions

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defgeneric binary-+ (x y)
  (:generic-function-class fast-generic-function))

(defmethod binary-+ ((x number) (y number))
  (declare (method-properties inlineable))
  (+ x y))

(seal-domain #'binary-+ '(number number))
#+END_SRC

It is easy to generalize such a binary function to a function that accepts
any number of arguments:

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defun generic-+ (&rest things)
  (cond ((null things) 0)
        ((null (rest things)) (first things))
        (t (reduce #'binary-+ things))))

(define-compiler-macro generic-+ (&rest things)
  (cond ((null things) 0)
        ((null (rest things)) (first things))
        (t (reduce (lambda (a b) `(binary-+ ,a ,b)) things))))
#+END_SRC

With all this in place, we can use our =generic-+= function much like
Common Lisp's built-in =+= without worrying about performance.  The next
code snippet shows that in fact, each call to =generic-+= is inlined and
turned into a single =addss= instruction.

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(disassemble
 (compile nil
   '(lambda (x y z)
     (declare (single-float x y z))
     (generic-+ x y z))))

;; disassembly for (lambda (x y z))
;; Size: 38 bytes. Origin: #x52FD9354
;; 54:       498B4510         mov RAX, [R13+16]
;; 58:       488945F8         mov [RBP-8], RAX
;; 5C:       0F28CC           movaps XMM1, XMM4
;; 5F:       F30F58CB         addss XMM1, XMM3
;; 63:       F30F58CA         addss XMM1, XMM2
;; 67:       660F7ECA         movd EDX, XMM1
;; 6B:       48C1E220         shl RDX, 32
;; 6F:       80CA19           or DL, 25
;; 72:       488BE5           mov RSP, RBP
;; 75:       F8               clc
;; 76:       5D               pop RBP
;; 77:       C3               ret
;; 78:       CC10             int3 16
#+END_SRC

Once a fast generic function has been sealed, it is not possible to add,
remove, or redefine methods within the sealed domain.  However, outside of
the sealed domain, it behaves just like a standard generic function.  That
means we can extend its behavior, e.g., to allow addition of strings:

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defmethod binary-+ ((x string) (y string))
  (concatenate 'string x y))

(generic-+ "foo" "bar" "baz")
;; => "foobarbaz"
#+END_SRC

* Specializing on a User-Defined Class

By default, only built-in classes and structure classes can appear as
specializers of a method within a sealed domain of a fast generic function.
However, it is also possible to define custom sealable classes.  This
example illustrates how.

Since this example has plenty of dependencies (metaobject definition and
use, generic function definition and method defintion, sealing and use of a
sealed function), each of the following snippets of code should be put into
its own file.

In the first snippet, we define sealable standard class, that is both a
sealable class and a standard class.

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defclass sealable-standard-class
    (sealable-metaobjects:sealable-class standard-class)
  ())

(defmethod validate-superclass
    ((class sealable-standard-class)
     (superclass standard-class))
  t)
#+END_SRC

In the next snippet, we define a class =foo= whose metaclass is our newly
introduced =sealable-standard-class=.  Because the implementation of fast
generic functions uses literal instances to find an optimized effective
method function at load time, each sealable class must also have a suitable
method on =make-load-form=.

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defclass foo ()
  ((x :reader x :initarg :x))
  (:metaclass sealable-standard-class))

(defmethod make-load-form ((foo foo) &optional env)
  (make-load-form-saving-slots foo :slot-names '(x) :environment env))
#+END_SRC

In the next snippet, we define a fast generic function =op=.

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defgeneric op (foo)
  (:generic-function-class fast-generic-functions:fast-generic-function))
#+END_SRC

Once we have loaded the definition of =op=, we can add individual methods
and seal some of them.  In particular, we can add a method that specializes
on the =foo= class.

We could also have defined this method without =foo= being a sealable
class, but then the call to =seal-domain= would have signaled an error.

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defmethod op ((foo foo))
  (* 2 (x foo)))

(sealable-metaobjects:seal-domain #'op '(foo))
#+END_SRC

Finally, we have everything in place for having optimized calls to =op= in
the case where its argument is of type =foo=.

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(defun bar ()
  (let ((foo (make-instance 'foo :x 42)))
    (declare (foo foo))
    (op foo)))
#+END_SRC

If this example is too intimidating for you, please remember that you can
always specialize fast methods on built-in classes (like integer and
simple-vector) or structure classes (everything defined via =defstruct=).
