PRs S-waiting-on-team

T-compiler

  • "Encode spans relative to the enclosing item – enable by default" rust#84762
    • just entered in final comment period: can remove S-waiting-on-team?
  • (other hidden issues in progress or waiting on other teams, details here)

Oldest PRs waiting for review

T-compiler

  • "Fix variable debuginfo being optimized away at mir-opt-level=2 " rust#103657 (last review activity: about 39 days ago)
    • cc @Wesley Wiser for a comment on latest perf. run (I think)
  • "Add support for SpanTrace capture in ICE reports" rust#103993 (last review activity: about 27 days ago)
    • cc @oli (unsure if all the prev. review comments are checked)
  • "fix: Unexpected trait bound not satisfied in HRTB and Associated Type" rust#103695 (last review activity: about 26 days ago)
    • cc @Jack Huey for a comment on latest perf. run
  • "TokenTreesReader now can find the correct mismatch delimiter pairs" rust#104012 (last review activity: about 24 days ago)

Performance logs

triage logs for 2022-12-06

A mixed bag of a week. 2 of the 3 regressions are connected to changes to the
query system that underlies incremental compilation. The third regression is
still being investigated. For all three, the impact on cycle counts that are
within our noise tolerance levels There were several small-ish improvements,
though PR #104963 is worth calling out: a well-factored change to
how we lower the AST into HIR that had a broad positive impact. One final
note: the summary-opt max-rss seems to gone up by 1.5% over the past month
(perf),
via a gradual climb; just something to keep our eyes on going forward.

Triage done by @pnkfelix.

  • Many primary benchmarks regressed, but the regression is contained solely to incremental builds, and the magnitude is also well-contained.
  • oli-obk investigated and determined that
    the bulk of the regression is time spent in try_mark_previous_green and incremental_verify_ich calls.
  • The impact on cycle-counts (rather than instruction counts) was well within noise tolerance levels.
  • Therefore, marked as triaged.
