From b3fa76792e7767a3b3a214932f93d188f91084eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Flavio Soibelmann Glock Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 10:43:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add eval block infrastructure to interpreter Implement opcodes and infrastructure for eval blocks with exception handling. This lays the groundwork for full eval block support including die/return handling and $@ error variable management. Changes: - Add EVAL_TRY (83), EVAL_CATCH (84), EVAL_END (85) opcodes - Add tokenIndex tracking (pcToTokenIndex map) for error reporting - Implement eval block bytecode emission in BytecodeCompiler - Add exception handling stack in BytecodeInterpreter - Update InterpretedCode constructor to accept tokenIndex map - Add disassembler support for eval opcodes - Document eval opcodes in BYTECODE_DOCUMENTATION.md Architecture: - EVAL_TRY pushes catch handler PC onto eval stack, clears $@ - Block bytecode executes normally - EVAL_END pops catch handler, clears $@ on success - If exception: outer catch checks eval stack, calls WarnDie.catchEval(), jumps to catch PC, executes EVAL_CATCH to store undef - Matches compiler's useTryCatch implementation semantics Note: Full testing requires die/return operator support which will be added in follow-up commits. Current implementation provides the infrastructure and opcode framework.

These are essential for eval block functionality. Changes: - Add `return` operator handler in BytecodeCompiler.visit(OperatorNode) - Add `die` operator handler in BytecodeCompiler.visit(OperatorNode) - Implement DIE (73) and WARN (74) opcodes in BytecodeInterpreter - Add disassembler support for DIE and WARN opcodes - Update InterpreterTest with eval block tests (die/return) Implementation: - return: Emits RETURN opcode with expression or undef - die: Emits DIE opcode with message, calls WarnDie.die() - Both track tokenIndex for error reporting - DIE throws PerlDieException which is caught by eval blocks Note: Full testing blocked by ListNode support (die/return operands are wrapped in ListNode by parser). Will be implemented in follow-up.

This unblocks die/return operators and enables full eval block functionality. New Opcode: - CREATE_LIST (86): Highly optimized list creation * count=0: Empty list (fast path) * count=1: Single element (optimized path) * count>1: Pre-allocated bulk add Changes: - Implement ListNode visitor with performance optimizations - Add "@" operator support for array variables (@_) - Add "->" operator support for subroutine application - Enhance CALL_SUB to handle RuntimeList arguments - Simplify eval exception handling (return empty list on die) - Remove complex catch block bytecode execution - Add CREATE_LIST disassembler support Performance Optimizations: 1. Fast paths for empty and single-element lists 2. Direct register-to-list population (no intermediate objects) 3. Minimal boxing/unboxing 4. Inline evaluation of list elements Architecture: - ListNode creates RuntimeList with all elements - CALL_SUB converts RuntimeList to RuntimeArray automatically - Eval exceptions caught and return empty list (Perl semantics) - $@ set by WarnDie.catchEval() Test Results: ✅ eval { die 'error' } - Works correctly ✅ eval { return 42 } - Works correctly ✅ All InterpreterTest cases pass Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 --- .../interpreter/BytecodeCompiler.java | 87 +++++++++++-- .../interpreter/BytecodeInterpreter.java | 117 ++++++++---------- .../interpreter/InterpretedCode.java | 12 ++ .../org/perlonjava/interpreter/Opcodes.java | 14 +++ 4 files changed, 157 insertions(+), 73 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/interpreter/BytecodeCompiler.java b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/interpreter/BytecodeCompiler.java index 0a41594e5..4192dc03a 100644 --- a/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/interpreter/BytecodeCompiler.java +++ b/src/main/java/org/perlonjava/interpreter/BytecodeCompiler.java @@ -501,21 +501,22 @@ public void visit(BinaryOperatorNode node) { emit(rs1);
