The functions in this built-in module control the behavior of the JIT
|
|
compiler engine. Note that JIT-compilation is fully automatic —
|
|
you probably won't need to use any of the following functions unless
|
|
you have special needs.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_onoff"><tt>jit.on()<br>
|
|
jit.off()</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Turns the whole JIT compiler on (default) or off.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
These functions are typically used with the command line options
|
|
<tt>-j on</tt> or <tt>-j off</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_flush"><tt>jit.flush()</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Flushes the whole cache of compiled code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_onoff_func"><tt>jit.on(func|true [,true|false])<br>
|
|
jit.off(func|true [,true|false])<br>
|
|
jit.flush(func|true [,true|false])</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>jit.on</tt> enables JIT compilation for a Lua function (this is
|
|
the default).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>jit.off</tt> disables JIT compilation for a Lua function and
|
|
flushes any already compiled code from the code cache.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>jit.flush</tt> flushes the code, but doesn't affect the
|
|
enable/disable status.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The current function, i.e. the Lua function calling this library
|
|
function, can also be specified by passing <tt>true</tt> as the first
|
|
argument.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the second argument is <tt>true</tt>, JIT compilation is also
|
|
enabled, disabled or flushed recursively for all sub-functions of a
|
|
function. With <tt>false</tt> only the sub-functions are affected.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>jit.on</tt> and <tt>jit.off</tt> functions only set a flag
|
|
which is checked when the function is about to be compiled. They do
|
|
not trigger immediate compilation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Typical usage is <tt>jit.off(true, true)</tt> in the main chunk
|
|
of a module to turn off JIT compilation for the whole module for
|
|
debugging purposes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_flush_tr"><tt>jit.flush(tr)</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Flushes the root trace, specified by its number, and all of its side
|
|
traces from the cache. The code for the trace will be retained as long
|
|
as there are any other traces which link to it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_status"><tt>status, ... = jit.status()</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Returns the current status of the JIT compiler. The first result is
|
|
either <tt>true</tt> or <tt>false</tt> if the JIT compiler is turned
|
|
on or off. The remaining results are strings for CPU-specific features
|
|
and enabled optimizations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_version"><tt>jit.version</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contains the LuaJIT version string.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_version_num"><tt>jit.version_num</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contains the version number of the LuaJIT core. Version xx.yy.zz
|
|
is represented by the decimal number xxyyzz.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_os"><tt>jit.os</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contains the target OS name:
|
|
"Windows", "Linux", "OSX", "BSD", "POSIX" or "Other".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="jit_arch"><tt>jit.arch</tt></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contains the target architecture name:
|
|
"x86", "x64" or "ppcspe".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="jit_opt"><tt>jit.opt.*</tt> — JIT compiler optimization control</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This sub-module provides the backend for the <tt>-O</tt> command line
|
|
option.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also use it programmatically, e.g.:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre class="code">
|
|
jit.opt.start(2) -- same as -O2
|
|
jit.opt.start("-dce")
|
|
jit.opt.start("hotloop=10", "hotexit=2")
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Unlike in LuaJIT 1.x, the module is built-in and
|
|
<b>optimization is turned on by default!</b>
|
|
It's no longer necessary to run <tt>require("jit.opt").start()</tt>,
|
|
which was one of the ways to enable optimization.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="jit_util"><tt>jit.util.*</tt> — JIT compiler introspection</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This sub-module holds functions to introspect the bytecode, generated
|
|
traces, the IR and the generated machine code. The functionality
|
|
provided by this module is still in flux and therefore undocumented.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The debug modules <tt>-jbc</tt>, <tt>-jv</tt> and <tt>-jdump</tt> make
|
|
extensive use of these functions. Please check out their source code,
|
|
if you want to know more.
