-- | Time a compilation phase.

-- a typical usage:
-- @withTiming getDynFlags (text "simplify") force PrintTimings pass@.
-- When timings are enabled the following costs are included in the
-- produced accounting,
--
--  - The cost of executing @pass@ to a result @r@ in WHNF
--  - The cost of evaluating @force r@ to WHNF (e.g. @()@)

-- is, to the greatest extent possible, included in the accounting provided by
-- 'withTiming'. Often the pass already sufficiently forces its result during
-- construction; in this case @const ()@ is a reasonable choice.
-- In other cases, it is necessary to evaluate the result to normal form, in
-- which case something like @Control.DeepSeq.rnf@ is appropriate.
--
-- To avoid adversely affecting compiler performance when timings are not
-- requested, the result is only forced when timings are enabled.

{- Note [withTiming]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For reference:

  withTiming
    :: MonadIO
    => m DynFlags   -- how to get the DynFlags
    -> SDoc         -- label for the computation we're timing
    -> (a -> ())    -- how to evaluate the result
    -> PrintTimings -- whether to report the timings when passed
                    -- -v2 or -ddump-timings
    -> m a          -- computation we're timing
    -> m a

withTiming lets you run an action while:

(1) measuring the CPU time it took and reporting that on stderr
    (when PrintTimings is passed),
(2) emitting start/stop events to GHC's event log, with the label
    given as an argument.

Evaluation of the result
------------------------

'withTiming' takes as an argument a function of type 'a -> ()', whose purpose is
to evaluate the result "sufficiently". A given pass might return an 'm a' for
some monad 'm' and result type 'a', but where the 'a' is complex enough
that evaluating it to WHNF barely scratches its surface and leaves many
complex and time-consuming computations unevaluated. Those would only be
forced by the next pass, and the time needed to evaluate them would be
mis-attributed to that next pass. A more appropriate function would be
one that deeply evaluates the result, so as to assign the time spent doing it
to the pass we're timing.

Note: as hinted at above, the time spent evaluating the application of the
forcing function to the result is included in the timings reported by
'withTiming'.

How we use it
-------------

We measure the time and allocations of various passes in GHC's pipeline by just
wrapping the whole pass with 'withTiming'. This also materializes by having
a label for each pass in the eventlog, where each pass is executed in one go,
during a continuous time window.

However, from STG onwards, the pipeline uses streams to emit groups of
STG/Cmm/etc declarations one at a time, and process them until we get to
assembly code generation. This means that the execution of those last few passes
is interleaved and that we cannot measure how long they take by just wrapping
the whole thing with 'withTiming'. Instead we wrap the processing of each
individual stream element, all along the codegen pipeline, using the appropriate
label for the pass to which this processing belongs. That generates a lot more
data but allows us to get fine-grained timings about all the passes and we can
easily compute totals with tools like ghc-events-analyze (see below).


Producing an eventlog for GHC
-----------------------------

You can produce an eventlog when compiling, for instance, hello.hs by simply
running:

  If GHC was built by Hadrian:
  $ _build/stage1/bin/ghc -ddump-timings hello.hs -o hello +RTS -l

  If GHC was built with Make:
  $ inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 -ddump-timing hello.hs -o hello +RTS -l

You could alternatively use -v<N> (with N >= 2) instead of -ddump-timings,
to ask GHC to report timings (on stderr and the eventlog).

This will write the eventlog to ./ghc.eventlog in both cases. You can then
visualize it or look at the totals for each label by using ghc-events-analyze,
threadscope or any other eventlog consumer. Illustrating with
ghc-events-analyze:

  $ ghc-events-analyze --timed --timed-txt --totals \
                       --start "GHC:started:" --stop "GHC:finished:" \
                       ghc.eventlog

This produces ghc.timed.txt (all event timestamps), ghc.timed.svg (visualisation
of the execution through the various labels) and ghc.totals.txt (total time
spent in each label).
