V8 bailout reasons

A list of Crankshaft bailout reasons with examples, explanations and advices.

Unless otherwise specified, the following are Crankshaft bailouts.

Your contribution is most welcome!

What this is about

In order to keep this section short and allow people to get to the primary content of this repo faster, here is what it's all about and why you (probably) should care: Chromium, Chrome, Node.js, V8, Crankshaft and bailout reasons.

Bailout reasons

Assignment to parameter in arguments object

Only happens if you reassign to a parameter while also mentioning arguments in the function. More info.

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// sloppy mode only
function test(a) {
  if (arguments.length < 2) {
    a = 0;
  }
}

  • Why

    • In sloppy mode V8 needs to preserve bindings between arguments[0] and a so that when any a was passed, and you reassign it to 10, and later try to read arguments[0], it has to return 10, too. This is non-trivial for the engine, so it chooses to bail out. Strict mode removes this requirement, and arguments and a behave as regular independent JavaScript variables, so deoptimization does not occur.

  • Advices

    • In the above example, you could assign a to a new variable.
    • You should use strict mode anyway.
    • It seems this will be optimized by TurboFan #1.

  • External examples

Bad value context for arguments value

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
function test1() {
  arguments[0] = 0;
}

// strict & sloppy modes
function test2() {
  arguments.length = 0;
}

// strict & sloppy modes
function test3() {
  return arguments;
}

// strict & sloppy modes
function test4() {
  var args = [].slice.call(arguments);
}

// strict & sloppy modes
function test5() {
  var a = arguments;
  return function() {
    return a;
  };
}

ForInStatement with non-local each variable

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
function test1() {
  var obj = {};
  for(key in obj);
}

// strict & sloppy modes
function key() {
  return 'a';
}
function test2() {
  var obj = {};
  for(key in obj);
}

Inlining bailed out

  • Simple reproduction(s)

Courtesy of @kangax

// strict & sloppy modes
var obj = { prop1: ... };

function test(param) {
  param.prop2 = ...; // Inlining bailed out
}
test(obj);

// strict & sloppy modes
var obj = { prop1: ... };

function someMethodThatAssignsSomeOtherProp(param) {
  param.someOtherProp = ...; // Inlining bailed out
}

function test(param) {
  someMethodThatAssignsSomeOtherProp(param);
}

f(obj);

  • Why

    • Crankshaft predicts that param will have the same hidden class as obj, allowing optimization by doing inline caching. At the annotated lines above, Crankshaft notices that obj's hidden class is not suitable for param and bails out (it cannot patch the inline cache code with the hidden class information). More about inline caching and hidden classes

  • Advices

    • When creating an object initialize all the properties you are going to use, instead of adding new properties to an existing object.

  • External examples

Object literal with complex property

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
function test() {
  return {
    __proto__: 3
  };
}

  • Why

  • Advices

  • External examples

Optimized too many times

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
// No known canonical reproduction

  • Why

    • Optimization failed so many times that Crankshaft gave up.
    • "In reality this very often actually means a bug in V8 - there is some optimization which is too optimistic so the generated code deopts all the time." - @mraleph #5
    • More about this bailout reason

  • Advices

    • "Just use IRHydra and look at the deoptimization reasons - the picture should become clear immediately." - @mraleph #5

  • External examples

Reference to a variable which requires dynamic lookup

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// sloppy mode only
function test() {
  with ({x:1}) {
    return x;
  }
}

  • Why

    • "Variable lookup fails at compile time, Crankshaft needs to resort to dynamic lookup at runtime." - Yang Guo #3

  • Advices

    • "Refactor to remove the dependency on runtime-information to resolve the lookup." - Paul Irish #4
    • No bailout with TurboFan.

  • External examples

Rest parameters

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
function test(...rest) {
  return rest[0];
}

  • Why

    • Probably because it requires materializing the arguments array.

  • Advices

  • External examples

Too many parameters

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
function test(p1, p2, p3, ..., p512) {
}

  • Why

    • Setting limits.

  • Advices

    • If you write functions with 512 parameters or more, you probably don't worry about optimizing your code for V8 anyway.

  • External examples

    • Obviously nobody ever did that. Hopefully nobody will ever do that. Zero google result on this bailout reason.
    • V8 code source

TryCatchStatement

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
function test() {
  return 3;
  try {} catch(e) {}
}

  • Why

    • Try/catch makes the control flow jump virtually anywhere. It's hardly optimizable because the caught exception is potentially only known at runtime.

  • Advices

    • Don't put try/catch inside computationally intensive functions.
    • You could try { test() } catch

  • External examples

TryFinallyStatement

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
function test() {
  return 3;
  try {} finally {}
}

Unsupported phi use of arguments

  • Simple reproduction(s)
// strict & sloppy modes
function test1() {
  var _arguments = arguments;
  if (0 === 0) { // anything evaluating to true, except a number or `true`
    _arguments = [0]; // Unsupported phi use of arguments
  }
}

// strict & sloppy modes
function test2() {
  var _arguments = arguments;
  for (var i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
    _arguments = [0]; // Unsupported phi use of arguments
  }
}

// strict & sloppy modes
function test3() {
  var _arguments = arguments;
  var again = true;
  while (again) {
    _arguments = [0]; // Unsupported phi use of arguments
    again = false;
  }
}

  • Why

    • Crankshaft is unable to guess whether _arguments should be an object or an array. It cannot dematerialize _arguments and gives up.
    • In-depth explaination

  • Advices

    • There is no good workaround except splitting your function into smaller ones that don't manipulate a copy of arguments.
    • Don't try to fool V8 by looping over arguments to create a new array out of it: "Allocating array (and hope it will get handled by some optimization pass in the V8) is a bad idea." - @mraleph (source)
    • It seems this will be optimized by TurboFan #1.

  • External examples

Unsupported phi use of const or let variable

  • Simple reproduction(s)
function test() {
  for (let i = 0; i < 0; i++) {
    const x = __lookupGetter__; // `__lookupGetter__` and
  }
  const self = this; // `this` should both be present for this to happen
}

  • Why

    • Crankshaft sees a hole (marker for Temporary Dead Zone of let/const) and aborts compilation.

  • Advices

  • External examples

// strict & sloppy modes

  yield 0;
