Internal representation (IR) compiler and evaluator (#13330)
# Description
This PR adds an internal representation language to Nushell, offering an
alternative evaluator based on simple instructions, stream-containing
registers, and indexed control flow. The number of registers required is
determined statically at compile-time, and the fixed size required is
allocated upon entering the block.
Each instruction is associated with a span, which makes going backwards
from IR instructions to source code very easy.
Motivations for IR:
1. **Performance.** By simplifying the evaluation path and making it
more cache-friendly and branch predictor-friendly, code that does a lot
of computation in Nushell itself can be sped up a decent bit. Because
the IR is fairly easy to reason about, we can also implement
optimization passes in the future to eliminate and simplify code.
2. **Correctness.** The instructions mostly have very simple and
easily-specified behavior, so hopefully engine changes are a little bit
easier to reason about, and they can be specified in a more formal way
at some point. I have made an effort to document each of the
instructions in the docs for the enum itself in a reasonably specific
way. Some of the errors that would have happened during evaluation
before are now moved to the compilation step instead, because they don't
make sense to check during evaluation.
3. **As an intermediate target.** This is a good step for us to bring
the [`new-nu-parser`](https://github.com/nushell/new-nu-parser) in at
some point, as code generated from new AST can be directly compared to
code generated from old AST. If the IR code is functionally equivalent,
it will behave the exact same way.
4. **Debugging.** With a little bit more work, we can probably give
control over advancing the virtual machine that `IrBlock`s run on to
some sort of external driver, making things like breakpoints and single
stepping possible. Tools like `view ir` and [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir) make it easier than
before to see what exactly is going on with your Nushell code.
The goal is to eventually replace the AST evaluator entirely, once we're
sure it's working just as well. You can help dogfood this by running
Nushell with `$env.NU_USE_IR` set to some value. The environment
variable is checked when Nushell starts, so config runs with IR, or it
can also be set on a line at the REPL to change it dynamically. It is
also checked when running `do` in case within a script you want to just
run a specific piece of code with or without IR.
# Example
```nushell
view ir { |data|
mut sum = 0
for n in $data {
$sum += $n
}
$sum
}
```
```gas
# 3 registers, 19 instructions, 0 bytes of data
0: load-literal %0, int(0)
1: store-variable var 904, %0 # let
2: drain %0
3: drop %0
4: load-variable %1, var 903
5: iterate %0, %1, end 15 # for, label(1), from(14:)
6: store-variable var 905, %0
7: load-variable %0, var 904
8: load-variable %2, var 905
9: binary-op %0, Math(Plus), %2
10: span %0
11: store-variable var 904, %0
12: load-literal %0, nothing
13: drain %0
14: jump 5
15: drop %0 # label(0), from(5:)
16: drain %0
17: load-variable %0, var 904
18: return %0
```
# Benchmarks
All benchmarks run on a base model Mac Mini M1.
## Iterative Fibonacci sequence
This is about as best case as possible, making use of the much faster
control flow. Most code will not experience a speed improvement nearly
this large.
```nushell
def fib [n: int] {
mut a = 0
mut b = 1
for _ in 2..=$n {
let c = $a + $b
$a = $b
$b = $c
}
$b
}
use std bench
bench { 0..50 | each { |n| fib $n } }
```

[random-bytes.nu](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/benchmarks/random-bytes.nu)
I got pretty random results out of this benchmark so I decided not to
include it. Not clear why.
# User-Facing Changes
- IR compilation errors may appear even if the user isn't evaluating
with IR.
- IR evaluation can be enabled by setting the `NU_USE_IR` environment
variable to any value.
- New command `view ir` pretty-prints the IR for a block, and `view ir
--json` can be piped into an external tool like [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir).
# Tests + Formatting
All tests are passing with `NU_USE_IR=1`, and I've added some more eval
tests to compare the results for some very core operations. I will
probably want to add some more so we don't have to always check
`NU_USE_IR=1 toolkit test --workspace` on a regular basis.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes
- [ ] further documentation of instructions?
- [ ] post-release: publish `nu_plugin_explore_ir`

# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.
Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or
screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience.
-->
The [nushell/demo](https://github.com/nushell/demo) project successfully
demonstrated running Nushell in the browser using WASM. However, the
current version of Nushell cannot be easily built for the
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` target, the default for `wasm-bindgen`.
This PR introduces initial support for the `wasm32-unknown-unknown`
target by disabling OS-dependent features such as filesystem access, IO,
and platform/system-specific functionality. This separation is achieved
using a new `os` feature in the following crates:
- `nu-cmd-lang`
- `nu-command`
- `nu-engine`
- `nu-protocol`
The `os` feature includes all functionality that interacts with an
operating system. It is enabled by default, but can be disabled using
`--no-default-features`. All crates that depend on these core crates now
use `--no-default-features` to allow compilation for WASM.
To demonstrate compatibility, the following script builds all crates
expected to work with WASM. Direct user interaction, running external
commands, working with plugins, and features requiring `openssl` are out
of scope for now due to their complexity or reliance on C libraries,
which are difficult to compile and link in a WASM environment.
```nushell
[ # compatible crates
"nu-cmd-base",
"nu-cmd-extra",
"nu-cmd-lang",
"nu-color-config",
"nu-command",
"nu-derive-value",
"nu-engine",
"nu-glob",
"nu-json",
"nu-parser",
"nu-path",
"nu-pretty-hex",
"nu-protocol",
"nu-std",
"nu-system",
"nu-table",
"nu-term-grid",
"nu-utils",
"nuon"
] | each {cargo build -p $in --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --no-default-features}
```
## Caveats
This PR has a few caveats:
1. **`miette` and `terminal-size` Dependency Issue**
`miette` depends on `terminal-size`, which uses `rustix` when the target
is not Windows. However, `rustix` requires `std::os::unix`, which is
unavailable in WASM. To address this, I opened a
[PR](https://github.com/eminence/terminal-size/pull/68) for
`terminal-size` to conditionally compile `rustix` only when the target
is Unix. For now, the `Cargo.toml` includes patches to:
- Use my forked version of `terminal-size`.
- ~~Use an unreleased version of `miette` that depends on
`terminal-size@0.4`.~~
These patches are temporary and can be removed once the upstream changes
are merged and released.
2. **Test Output Adjustments**
Due to the slight bump in the `miette` version, one test required
adjustments to accommodate minor formatting changes in the error output,
such as shifted newlines.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
This shouldn't break anything but allows using some crates for targeting
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` to revive the demo page eventually.
# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
-->
- :green_circle: `toolkit fmt`
- :green_circle: `toolkit clippy`
- :green_circle: `toolkit test`
- :green_circle: `toolkit test stdlib`
I did not add any extra tests, I just checked that compiling works, also
when using the host target but unselecting the `os` feature.
# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
-->
~~Breaking the wasm support can be easily done by adding some `use`s or
by adding a new dependency, we should definitely add some CI that also
at least builds against wasm to make sure that building for it keep
working.~~
I added a job to build wasm.
