types2, go/types: repeated identical external instantiations of the same type will lead to different types #47103

Reminder issue:

Because we don't have a global type map for external
instantiations, instantiating the same type twice, independently but
with the same type arguments, will result in two different types. This
is not correct. We need to provide some form of context for external
instantiations (which means the importers). This is a separate issue,
not yet addressed.

Is this still an issue with the InstantiateLazy API? That already requires passing in the Checker as an argument, I think to allow deduplication.

No, this is not an issue with InstantiateLazy, only with Instantiate which doesn't provide a *Checker or any other kind of context/environment.

…must terminate (bug fix)

When types2.Instantiate is called externally, no *Checker is provided and
substitution doesn't have access to Checker.typMap; and instantiation of
recursive generic types leads to an infinite recursion in subst.

There was a local subster.cache but it was only set and never used.
Replaced subster.cache with subster.typMap, which is set to the global
Checker.typMap if available, and set to a local map otherwise. This
prevents such infinite recursions. Added a simple test.

More generally, because we don't have a global type map for external
instantiations, instantiating the same type twice, independently but
with the same type arguments, will result in two different types. This
is not correct. We need to provide some form of context for external
instantiations (which means the importers). This is a separate but
related issue which is not yet addressed (filed #47103).

Change https://golang.org/cl/333569 mentions this issue: [dev.typeparams] cmd/compile/internal/types2: replace types2.Instantiate with Checker.Instantiate

gopherbot pushed a commit that referenced this issue Jul 13, 2021
…ate with Checker.Instantiate

Allow Checker.Instantiate to work with a nil *Checker receiver
(for now). This opens the door to passing in a *Checker at all
times.

Also, added a verify flag to Instantiate, InstantiateLazy, and
instance, to be able to control if constraint satisfaction should
be checked or not.

Removed types2.Instantiate.

For #47103.

@findleyr Is there anything left to do here now that we have the global Environment/Context?

I do think we need more testing. Want to repurpose this issue, or shall I open a new one?

@griesemer @findleyr Checking in as this is labeled a release-blocker for Go 1.18. Is there anything left on this issue?

I think we need to also cover repeated instantiations of *Signature types, which are not currently handled. So this should remain as a release blocker.

Change https://golang.org/cl/362801 mentions this issue: go/types: deduplicate signatures with the context

gopherbot pushed a commit that referenced this issue Nov 13, 2021
Extend the type checking context to allow de-duplicating *Signature
instances, in addition to *Named instances.

Naively we would deduplicate instances of different-but-identical origin
*Signature types. That may be OK, but it seems a bit strange to get the
same signature when instantiating two different functions. For now,
differentiate *Signature types by prepending a unique identifier for the
origin pointer, thus guaranteeing that instances de-duplicated if they
come from the exact same (pointer identical) origin type.

Updates #47103

I am satisfied with this for 1.18. We may add additional testing during the freeze, but this is complete.

EDIT: these changes have landed in go/types, and will be in types2 shortly. Our convention is to close the issue once the initial CLs land, as we have external means to track ports.
