From f935d036b7bcefd96a9cdd67eb4a43ee0da432ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Jan=20Jake=C5=A1?= Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:28:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/20] Inline terminal matching and defer parse node allocation Hot-path changes in WP_Parser::parse_recursive(): - Inline the terminal match in the branch loop instead of recursing into parse_recursive() for every token. Over the full MySQL test suite this eliminates ~1.6M function calls. - Hoist grammar, rules, fragment_ids, rule_names, tokens, and token_count into local variables so the inner loops avoid repeated property lookups on $this->grammar. - Cache the token count on the instance to avoid a count() per call. - Build branch children in a local array and only instantiate the WP_Parser_Node once the branch has matched; on the MySQL corpus ~75% of speculative nodes were previously created and thrown away. - Drop a dead is_array($subnode) check that never fires in practice (subnodes are false, true, tokens, or nodes - never arrays). - Inline fragment inlining: read the fragment's children directly instead of building a fragment node and immediately merging it.

The parser loop would have 'continue'd over them anyway, so removing them ahead of time lets the hot symbol loop drop the epsilon check. Pure-epsilon branches become empty branches and still match empty via the existing empty-children fast path. * Cache the grammar's rules, fragment_ids, rule_names, branches_for_token, nullable_branches, and highest_terminal_id as direct parser instance fields so parse_recursive() no longer pays for a $this->grammar->... double hop on every call. * Collapse the two-step node construction (new + set_children) into a single constructor call that takes the children array directly.

It is intentionally kept separate from the main parser because the compilation trade-off is not a clear win. Tools added: - compile-grammar.php: walks the grammar and emits a self-contained class (WP_MySQL_Compiled_Parser) with one method per reachable rule. Single-branch fragments are inlined, single-use multi-branch fragments are kept as methods. Dispatch uses switch-on-tid for multi-group rules; a compact isset() lookup table for single-group rules; and a 'one-of-N-terminals' fast path for the many identifier-like rules with hundreds of single-terminal branches. - bench-compiled-parser.php: side-by-side run of interpreter vs compiled on the MySQL test corpus. - compare-asts.php: verifies the compiled parser produces the same AST as the interpreter on every query. - dump-inflated-grammar.php: dumps the post-inflation grammar data so the effect of skipping the FIRST/NULLABLE fixpoint at runtime could be measured. - bench-hot-rules.php: distribution of per-rule call counts for deciding which rules are worth specialising. Empirical findings on the full MySQL test corpus (69,576 queries): Interpreter (current parser on this branch): - no opcache: ~32,500 QPS, ~12 MB grammar - opcache, no JIT: ~35,100 QPS - opcache + JIT: ~52,600 QPS (tracing) Compiled parser: - no opcache: ~38,300 QPS (+18% over interpreter) - opcache, no JIT: ~41,800 QPS (+19%) - opcache + JIT: ~49,700 QPS (slightly below interpreter) Compiled file size: ~2.6 MB (99k lines, 1,427 methods) Compiled class load: ~22 ms / ~17 MB RAM (vs 38 ms / 12 MB to inflate the compressed grammar). Why compilation helps without JIT: - eliminates the generic dispatch (branches_for_token, fragment_ids, nullable_branches isset checks) baked into every interpreter call; - resolves fragment vs non-fragment and nullable vs non-nullable at compile time so the emitted code has no runtime type checks; - collapses 'accepts any of N terminals' rules (251 of them) into an 8-line isset() + consume instead of ~2.8k-line switches. Why compilation does not help with tracing JIT: - the interpreter's hot loop is small and regular, which tracing JIT optimises aggressively (9-10 ns per recursive call); - the compiled parser generates a handful of very large methods (the biggest is ~2.8k lines of a 406-branch fragment) that tracing JIT struggles to optimise, and incurs a substantial JIT-compile penalty on first use (~0.7 s of the first-run time). Conclusion: keep the interpreter as the primary parser. The compiler is preserved here as documentation and as a fallback path for environments without JIT. --- .../tests/tools/bench-compiled-parser.php | 92 +++++ .../tests/tools/bench-hot-rules.php | 151 ++++++++ .../tests/tools/compare-asts.php | 67 ++++ .../tests/tools/compile-grammar.php | 360 ++++++++++++++++++ .../tests/tools/dump-inflated-grammar.php | 27 ++ 5 files changed, 697 insertions(+) create mode 100644 packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/bench-compiled-parser.php create mode 100644 packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/bench-hot-rules.php create mode 100644 packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/compare-asts.php create mode 100644 packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/compile-grammar.php create mode 100644 packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/dump-inflated-grammar.php diff --git a/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/bench-compiled-parser.php b/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/bench-compiled-parser.php new file mode 100644 index 00000000..785142e3 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/bench-compiled-parser.php @@ -0,0 +1,92 @@ += $limit ) { + break; + } +} +fclose( $handle ); + +$all_tokens = array(); +foreach ( $queries as $q ) { + $all_tokens[] = ( new WP_MySQL_Lexer( $q ) )->remaining_tokens(); +} +echo 'Loaded ', count( $queries ), " queries\n"; + +function bench( $label, callable $factory, array $tokens_list, $runs ) { + $results = array(); + for ( $r = 0; $r < $runs; $r++ ) { + $fail = 0; + $start = microtime( true ); + foreach ( $tokens_list as $tokens ) { + $parser = $factory( $tokens ); + $ast = $parser->parse(); + if ( null === $ast ) { + ++$fail; + } + } + $dur = microtime( true ) - $start; + $results[] = $dur; + printf( "%-15s run %d: %.4fs, %d QPS, %d failures\n", $label, $r + 1, $dur, count( $tokens_list ) / $dur, $fail ); + } + sort( $results ); + $best = $results[0]; + $avg = array_sum( $results ) / count( $results ); + printf( "%-15s best %.4fs (%d QPS) avg %.4fs (%d QPS)\n", $label, $best, count( $tokens_list ) / $best, $avg, count( $tokens_list ) / $avg ); +} + +bench( + 'interpreted', + fn( $tokens ) => new WP_MySQL_Parser( $grammar, $tokens ), + $all_tokens, + $runs +); +bench( + 'compiled', + fn( $tokens ) => new WP_MySQL_Compiled_Parser( $tokens ), + $all_tokens, + $runs +); diff --git a/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/bench-hot-rules.php b/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/bench-hot-rules.php new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c15c5f4e --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/bench-hot-rules.php @@ -0,0 +1,151 @@ +grammar = $g; + $this->token_count = count( $tokens ); + $tokens[] = new WP_Parser_Token( 0, 0, 0, '' ); + $this->tokens = $tokens; + $this->position = 0; + $this->rule_names = $g->rule_names; + $this->fragment_ids = $g->fragment_ids ?? array(); + $this->branches_for_token = $g->branches_for_token; + $this->nullable_branches = $g->nullable_branches; + $this->highest_terminal_id = $g->highest_terminal_id; + $this->sel_rid = $g->get_rule_id( 'selectStatement' ); + } + public function parse() { + $rid = $this->grammar->get_rule_id( 'query' ); + return $this->r( $rid ); + } + private function r( $rid ) { + self::$counts[ $rid ] = ( self::$counts[ $rid ] ?? 0 ) + 1; + $tokens = $this->tokens; + $position = $this->position; + $tid = $tokens[ $position ]->id; + if ( isset( $this->branches_for_token[ $rid ][ $tid ] ) ) { + $cb = $this->branches_for_token[ $rid ][ $tid ]; + } elseif ( isset( $this->nullable_branches[ $rid ] ) ) { + return true; + } else { + return false; + } + $htid = $this->highest_terminal_id; + $is_fragment = isset( $this->fragment_ids[ $rid ] ); + $is_sel = $rid === $this->sel_rid; + $ok = false; + $kids = array(); + foreach ( $cb as $branch ) { + $this->position = $position; + $kids = array(); + $ok = true; + foreach ( $branch as $sid ) { + if ( $sid <= $htid ) { + if ( $tokens[ $this->position ]->id === $sid ) { + $kids[] = $tokens[ $this->position ]; + ++$this->position; + continue; + } + $ok = false; + break; + } + $sn = $this->r( $sid ); + if ( false === $sn ) { + $ok = false; + break; + } + if ( true === $sn ) { + continue; + } + if ( is_array( $sn ) ) { + foreach ( $sn as $c ) { + $kids[] = $c; + } + } else { + $kids[] = $sn; + } + } + if ( $ok && $is_sel && WP_MySQL_Lexer::INTO_SYMBOL === $tokens[ $this->position ]->id ) { + $ok = false; + } + if ( $ok ) { + break; + } + } + if ( ! $ok ) { + $this->position = $position; + return false; + } + if ( ! $kids ) { + return true; + } + if ( $is_fragment ) { + return $kids; + } + return new WP_Parser_Node( $rid, $this->rule_names[ $rid ], $kids ); + } +} + +$grammar = new WP_Parser_Grammar( require __DIR__ .

INTO' ambiguity that the interpreter handles via a runtime negative lookahead the regex doesn't model. Trade-offs: 1. Match-only - the regex doesn't build an AST, so it's not a drop-in replacement for the recursive-descent parser the SQLite driver needs. 2. Without (*THEN) the matcher backtracks catastrophically on nested compound statements (CREATE TRIGGER ... BEGIN ... IF ...). 3. With (*THEN) on every branch (not just single-candidate) the regex gives spurious failures because PCRE commits to the first first-symbol match and can't try a sibling alternative. 4. Pattern size is constrained by PCRE2's default LINK_SIZE=2 bytecode limit; aggressive rule inlining is needed to fit a non-trivial grammar.

Result on the 69,576-query MySQL corpus, tracing JIT enabled: regex only (no AST): 0.752 s, 92,519 QPS parser only (AST): 1.136 s, 61,240 QPS regex + parser: 1.480 s, 47,008 QPS The hybrid is *slower* than the parser alone because the regex is pure overhead - 99.99% of corpus queries are valid SQL, so the parser still has to run on each query to build the AST. The pre-check only pays off when many inputs are invalid; that is not our workload. Confirms the regex experiment is a recogniser, not a parser replacement: PCRE2 in PHP cannot return a structured tree from a recursive named-group match (last-match-wins semantics) and PHP does not expose user PCRE callouts that could intercept the match to record structural events. Useful as a fast 'does this query parse?' gate; not useful in workloads that need the AST. --- .../tests/tools/exp-regex-hybrid.php | 231 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 231 insertions(+) create mode 100644 packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/exp-regex-hybrid.php diff --git a/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/exp-regex-hybrid.php b/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/exp-regex-hybrid.php new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e7bc5902 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/exp-regex-hybrid.php @@ -0,0 +1,231 @@ +lowest_non_terminal_id; + $rules = $grammar->rules; + $nullable = array(); + $first = array(); + foreach ( $rules as $rid => $_ ) { + $nullable[ $rid ] = false; + $first[ $rid ] = array(); + } + do { + $changed = false; + foreach ( $rules as $rid => $branches ) { + foreach ( $branches as $branch ) { + $bn = true; + foreach ( $branch as $sym ) { + if ( $sym < $low_nt ) { + if ( ! isset( $first[ $rid ][ $sym ] ) ) { + $first[ $rid ][ $sym ] = true; + $changed = true; + } + $bn = false; + break; + } + foreach ( $first[ $sym ] as $tid => $_ ) { + if ( ! isset( $first[ $rid ][ $tid ] ) ) { + $first[ $rid ][ $tid ] = true; + $changed = true; + } + } + if ( ! $nullable[ $sym ] ) { + $bn = false; + break; + } + } + if ( $bn && ! $nullable[ $rid ] ) { + $nullable[ $rid ] = true; + $changed = true; + } + } + } + } while ( $changed ); + + $single_candidate_rules = $grammar->single_candidate_rules ?? array(); + $select_rid = $grammar->get_rule_id( 'selectStatement' ); + $into_char = mb_chr( WP_MySQL_Lexer::INTO_SYMBOL + TOKEN_OFFSET, 'UTF-8' ); + + $compiled = array(); + $compile = function ( $rid ) use ( &$compile, &$compiled, $rules, $low_nt, $single_candidate_rules, $select_rid, $into_char ) { + if ( isset( $compiled[ $rid ] ) ) { + return $compiled[ $rid ]; + } + $alts = array(); + $st = isset( $single_candidate_rules[ $rid ] ); + foreach ( $rules[ $rid ] as $branch ) { + $alt = ''; + foreach ( $branch as $i => $sym ) { + if ( $sym < $low_nt ) { + $alt .= mb_chr( $sym + TOKEN_OFFSET, 'UTF-8' ); + } else { + $alt .= "RREF{$sym}RREF"; + } + if ( 0 === $i && $st ) { + $alt .= '(*THEN)'; + } + } + $alts[] = $alt; + } + $body = '(?:' . implode( '|', $alts ) .

It cannot: - pcre2_set_callout_8 takes a function pointer. - PHP FFI does not allow PHP closures to be cast to C function pointers; libffi closure support is intentionally not enabled in PHP's FFI build. So pure-PHP code can call pcre2_compile_8 / pcre2_match_8 via FFI but cannot supply a callout function. The (?C) callouts in the pattern have no observable effect. Documents the surveyed paths to building a PCRE2-driven AST in PHP, all of which are blocked or worse than the existing parser: 1. Stock preg_*: ovector is last-match-wins per numbered group, even with (?J) duplicate names (each (?...) occurrence has its own slot but each slot only retains the last match). Recursive named groups expose nothing about intermediate matches. (*MARK) only retains the last mark. PHP exposes no callout callback. 2. FFI to libpcre2: blocked as described above. 3. Multi-pass extraction with preg_match_all on simpler flat patterns: re-implements parsing with regex per layer; not faster than the recursive-descent interpreter. 4. preg_match validate + parser builds AST (exp-regex-hybrid.php): net loss because the parser still has to run on every valid query, and valid is the common case. 5. Custom PHP extension wrapping pcre2_set_callout: significant C work, out of scope. Conclusion: in stock PHP the regex match is a fast yes/no validator (~92K QPS) and an upper bound on PHP-side parsing speed when an AST is not required (~100K QPS). It cannot replace the AST-producing parser the SQLite driver consumes. --- .../tests/tools/exp-pcre-ffi.php | 164 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 164 insertions(+) create mode 100644 packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/exp-pcre-ffi.php diff --git a/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/exp-pcre-ffi.php b/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/exp-pcre-ffi.php new file mode 100644 index 00000000..df18c859 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/mysql-on-sqlite/tests/tools/exp-pcre-ffi.php @@ -0,0 +1,164 @@ +pcre2_compile_8( + FFI::cast( 'PCRE2_SPTR8', FFI::addr( FFI::new( 'char[' . strlen( $pat_buf ) .
