7. What’s the IL2C https://github.com/kekyo/IL2C
8. What’s the IL2C IL2C's implementation priorities, we're aiming for: ◦ Better predictability for runtime costs, better human readability for the IL2C translated C source code. ◦ Very tiny footprint requirements, we are thinking about how fit between tiny embedded system and large system with many resources. ◦ Better code/runtime portability, minimum requirements are only C99 compiler. ◦ Better interoperabilities for exist C libraries, we can use standard .NET interop technics (likely P/Invoke.) ◦ Contains seamless building system for major C toolkits, for example: CMake system, Arduino IDE, VC++ ...
9. What’s the IL2C IL2C Assembly (*.dll) C Language (*.c, *.h) C Language (*.c, *.h) Target dev C language compiler (VS, Arduino, mbed and etc…) Target native binary C# Code C# Compiler (Roslyn) F# Compiler (FCS) F# Code Another compiler

Agenda Abstract What’s the IL2C ◦ Building scheme Translation details ◦ The runtime types – primitive and string ◦ How works the garbage collector ◦ The value type / boxing ◦ The enum types ◦ The delegate types ◦ How works exceptions ◦ How works virtual methods (virtual, override and interface implementations)
24. IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) System_ValueType The value type / boxing pNext type gcMark vptr0__ System_Int32 System_Int32 Boxed 32bit (4bytes) Bit exactly sizeof(IL2C_REF_HEADER) + sizeof(System_ValueType) + sizeof(System_Int32)
25. IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) System_ValueType The value type / boxing pNext type gcMark vptr0__ System_Int32 Unboxed (System_Int32*) System_Int32 local 1. Got pointer 2. Dereference (Copy)
26. The value type / boxing Unboxed and NOT copy… Copy-free
27. The value type / boxing Valid? Q1:
28. The value type / boxing Valid? The value type is restricted for marking “virtual” by Roslyn. Therefore we can force virtualize by assigning the interface. Will boxed for call Q2:
29. The value type / boxing Valid? Mutable usage by the virtual method …Boxed? Q3:
30. The value type / boxing : Q1 System_Int32 (System_Int32*) System_Int32_ToString( System_Int32* this) 1. Got pointer 2. Arg0 (this) Copy-free invoking
31. IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) System_ValueType The value type / boxing : Q3 pNext type gcMark vptr0__ System_Int32 System_Int32_VTABLE (.rdata) offset__ System_Int32_Equals(…) System_Object_Finalize(…) System_Int32_GetHashCode(…) System_Int32_ToString(…) System_Int32_ToString( System_Int32* this) Where’s unboxing?
32. The value type / boxing : Q3 System_Int32_VTABLE (.rdata) offset__ System_Int32_Equals_VFunc(…) System_Object_Finalize(…) System_Int32_GetHashCode_VFunc(…) System_Int32_ToString_VFunc(…) System_Int32_ToString_VFunc( System_ValueType* this) System_Int32_ToString( System_Int32* this) Unboxing (And not copy) We can (have to) manipulate the instance fields
33. The value type / boxing : Q2 System_Int32_IFoo_VTABLE (.rdata) offset__ System_Int32_ToString_VFunc(…) System_Int32_ToString_VFunc( System_ValueType* this) System_Int32_ToString( System_Int32* this) Unboxing (And not copy) We can manipulate the instance fields, but gonna discard
34. The value type / boxing My strategy was: ◦ Q1: The value type methods can access their fields by using unboxed-raw- pointer. (Copy-free access) → ◦ Q2: The interface implementation way can same procedure → We have to copy the instance… ◦ Q3: The value type virtual methods same procedure… → Will fix this problem…
35. Agenda Abstract What’s the IL2C ◦ Building scheme Translation details ◦ The runtime types – primitive and string ◦ How works the garbage collector ◦ The value type / boxing ◦ The enum types ◦ The delegate types ◦ How works exceptions ◦ How works virtual methods (virtual, override and interface implementations)
36. The enum types Q: How implement the enum types will you use the C language? translate C# (IL) C
37. The enum types Q: How implement the enum types will you use the C language? translate C# (IL) C It has 2 problems
38. The enum types A1: The enum symbol names are globally. We have to able to apply different names each enum types… C Combined namespace Combined namespace and each value symbol
39. The enum types A2: In the C language, enum types can’t annotate the storage space. C consoleapplication1.c(3): error C2059: syntax error: ':' In the C++, we can use this syntax
40. The enum types Final results for IL2C way: C The IL2C has to calculate real value at each symbols…
41. The enum types Final results for IL2C way: ◦ Each enum types NOT derived from System.Enumtype. ◦ We can implicitly convert by bidirection both enum types and integer types. Convert from Int32 to Int32EnumType implicitly. C# IL
42. The enum types Convert from Int32 to Int32EnumType implicitly. C
43. Agenda Abstract What’s the IL2C ◦ Building scheme Translation details ◦ The runtime types – primitive and string ◦ How works the garbage collector ◦ The value type / boxing ◦ The enum types ◦ The delegate types ◦ How works exceptions ◦ How works virtual methods (virtual, override and interface implementations)
44. The delegate types The delegate types almost always inherited from System.MulticastDelegate. ◦ System.Delegate type has two member for “Method” and “Target.” ◦ The derived delegate type has the type-safe method named “Invoke.” System.Object System.Delegate System.MulticastDelegate System.EventHandler void Invoke( object sender, EventArgs e) MethodInfo Method; object Target;
45. The delegate types “Method” member is the information for callee. ◦ If callee method is static (not instance method), the “Target” is null. private static void Form_Clicked( object sender, EventArgs e) static method callee method System.Delegate Target Method Target (instance) is nothing null
46. class Bar.Form The delegate types ◦ If callee method is instance (not static method), the “Target” refer to instance. System.Delegate private void Form_Clicked( object sender, EventArgs e) Target Method instance method Target (instance) callee method
47. The delegate types The IL2C way puts the code with instance detection expression. System_EventHandler_Invoke(…) C C# Detect the “Target” is not NULL
48. The delegate types The instance method into value type can assign to delegate and valid. Refer to: public override string System.Int32.ToString() C#
49. The delegate types The instance method into value type can assign to delegate and valid. boxing Resolve for virtual method pointer IL
50. IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) The delegate types The boxing opcode is very important in this case. Because the “Target” member type is System.Object, so can’t store the native value or managed pointer. value type System.Int32 System.Delegate public override string ToString() Target (System.Object) Method instance method Target (boxed)
51. The delegate types Illustrates, the System.MulticastDelegate can hold multiple delegates into the delegate. The implementation is the list of delegates. It contains delegate[] C#
52. The delegate types Illustrates, the System.MulticastDelegate can contain multiple delegates into one delegate. The implementation is the list of delegates. MulticastDelegate invocationList … delegate[] [0] [1] [2] … System.Delegate … System.Delegate … System.Delegate …
53. IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) IL2C_REF_HEADER IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) The delegate types We know, these instances came from the heap… MulticastDelegate invocationList … delegate[] [0] [1] [2] … System.Delegate … System.Delegate … System.Delegate … Too many allocation!!
54. The delegate types The IL2C way, all delegate types aggregate into the one implement at “System_Delegate.” It contains list of delegate and it’s NON-array. Most important thing is the delegate storage size is VARIABLE. System_Delegate … … [0] Target [0] Method [1] Target [1] Method private static void Form_Clicked( object sender, EventArgs e) private static void Form_Clicked( object sender, EventArgs e) Variable Invocation table
55. IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) The delegate types It will reduce heap management cost System_Delegate … … [0] Target [0] Method [1] Target [1] Method private static void Form_Clicked( object sender, EventArgs e) private static void Form_Clicked( object sender, EventArgs e)
56. The delegate types The IL2C’s System_Delegate real declaration: Target instance (or null) Function pointer Invocation list
57. The delegate types Delegate.Combine() and Delegate.Remove() calculate and store invocation table only once allocated delegate instance. C Allocate once Delegate.Combine(…) Combine the invocation tables
58. The delegate types Overall the IL2C translate to the specialized delegate invoker: C Invocation table Invoke by function pointer For all method
59. Agenda Abstract What’s the IL2C ◦ Building scheme Translation details ◦ The runtime types – primitive and string ◦ How works the garbage collector ◦ The value type / boxing ◦ The enum types ◦ The delegate types ◦ How works exceptions ◦ How works virtual methods (virtual, override and interface implementations)
60. How works exceptions What’s the “local unwind?” C#
61. How works exceptions What’s the “local unwind?” C# Only inside for the method
62. How works exceptions What’s the “global unwind?” C#
63. How works exceptions What’s the “global unwind?” C# It’s transition by straddling
64. How works exceptions Important global unwind things: ◦ We have to find the matched exception filter (“catch” type clause.) ◦ If not found, try to find more filters crawling from stack frame top to bottom. Illustrated: Function1() Function2() Function3() Function4() C Function5() null main() Stack frame top Stack frame bottom g_pBeginFrame
65. How works exceptions Does the method contains multiple exception blocks? C#
66. How works exceptions Does the method contains multiple exception blocks? C# Ignored the exception filter
67. How works exceptions The unwind feature is likely stack crawling on the stack frame, but we have to complete exception handling with bit different: ◦ We have to use the “Exception frame.” instead the stack frame. ◦ It’s only instantiate for each exception blocks. Exception block 2 RaiseNestedBlockLocal() null main() Exception block 1 Exception frame 1 Exception frame 2 g_pTopUnwindTarget
68. How works exceptions How works the exception frames on the global unwind? RaiseNestedBlockGlobal() null main() Exception frame 1 g_pTopUnwindTarget RaiseNestedBlockCallee() Exception frame 2 Exception block 1 Exception block 2
69. How works exceptions This is the exception frame and overall usage. C Function3() Exception frame 3 g_pTopUnwindTarget Function1() null main() Exception frame 1 Exception frame 2 Function2() This function doesn’t contain any exception block
70. How works exceptions The IL2C handles exception by the way: 1. Raise exception with strongly-typed instance. 2. The runtime crawl the exception frames from “Top exception frame” to bottom. The “g_pTopUnwindFrame” pointer refers top frame. 3. Call the exception filter function from each exception frames. 4. If found the exception type from exception filter function, IL2C found catchable block. Send the execution context into it (unwind done). 5. If can’t find any cachable block at the bottom frame, the IL2C raise “Unhandled exception” state.
71. How works exceptions What’s the exception filter? C int16_t Function1_ExceptionFilter_0( System_Exception* ex)
72. How works exceptions What’s the exception filter? C Index number for local exception frame Method name “catch (Exception)” Result is filter number (unique in each filter)
73. How works exceptions If a exception block contain multiple caught blocks? C# Contains multiple caught into one exception block
74. How works exceptions If a exception block contain multiple caught blocks? C Result is filter number Series checks exception type
75. How works exceptions The “Filter number” is used for branching identity at the method body. Illustrated bone of the exception block: C Use this filter function The filter number
76. How works exceptions “il2c_try” “il2c_catch” “il2c_end_try” and another exception handling helpers: Declared by C language macro. How works these macros details??
77. How works exceptions C Exception frame declared each try block branch using setjmp() result to try and catch block Saved current execution context
78. How works exceptions C Use longjmp() function. The execution context will unwind to “saved.” How the exception raising side?
79. How works exceptions A lot… a lot of topics for the exception handling, this session uncovererd: ◦ How works “rethrow” feature? ◦ How works nested rethrow feature? ◦ How works nested local exception block? ◦ How works finally block? ◦ How works filter-fault blocks? ◦ The setjmp and longjmp way (named sjlj) is slower. Can we improve by another way? ◦ How works asynchronous exception? (NullReferenceException, ArithmeticExceptionand etc…)
80. Agenda Abstract What’s the IL2C ◦ Building scheme Translation details ◦ The runtime types – primitive and string ◦ How works the garbage collector ◦ The value type / boxing ◦ The enum types ◦ The delegate types ◦ How works exceptions ◦ How works virtual methods (virtual, override and interface implementations)
81. How works virtual methods The runtime type information: IL2C_REF_HEADER (heap) pNext type gcMark System_String vptr0__ string_body__ “ABCDEFGHIJ\0” IL2C_RUNTIME_TYPE_DECL (.rdata) pTypeName flags bodySize baseType vptr0 markTarget interfaceCount … “System.String” (UTF8 string) [System.Object] IL2C_RUNTIME_TYPE_DECL Copy … System_String_VTABLE__ …
82. How works virtual methods C IL2C_TYPE_REFERENCE (objref) IL2C_TYPE_VALUE (value type) IL2C_TYPE_VARIABLE (variable storage size) … The C language not valid using for sizeof() expression via empty storage space type. So this field coverered size is 0.
83. How works virtual methods The virtual method table (VTABLE) works: IL2C_RUNTIME_TYPE_DECL … vptr0 … System_String vptr0__ string_body__ System_String_VTABLE (.rdata) offset__ System_String_Equals(…) System_Object_Finalize(…) System_String_GetHashCode(…) System_String_ToString(…) System_String_GetHashCode( System_String* this) 0
84. How works virtual methods How works invoking virtual method? C#
85. How works virtual methods How works invoking virtual method? C VirtualBaseType_VTABLE__ offset__ GetStringFromInt32(…) … VirtualBaseType_GetStringFromInt32( VirtualBaseType* this, int32_t value) 0 vptr0__
86. How works virtual methods How works invoking virtual method? C VirtualBaseType_VTABLE__ offset__ GetStringFromInt32(…) … 0 VirtualBaseType_GetStringFromInt32( VirtualBaseType* this, int32_t value) Subtract offset from this pointer. But the “offset__” field always 0… arg0 = this - offset__
87. How works virtual methods The interface virtual method table works: C# Interface implemented
88. How works virtual methods The interface virtual method table works: TYPE [VirtualNewAndImplementType] … VirtualNewAndImplementType VirtualNewAndImplementType_VTABLE VirtualNewAndImplementType_GetStringFromInt32( VirtualNewAndImplementType* this) vptr0__ vptr0__ vptr_IInterfaceType1 … … VirtualNewAndImplementType_IInterfaceType1_VTABLE offset__ TYPE [IInterfaceType1] … interfaceType vptrInterface void GetStringFromInt32 () offset__ 0 4 +0 +4 arg0 = this - offset__ The interface VTABLE contains this pointer’s offset. Subtract offset to adjust pointer.
89. How works virtual methods How works invoking interface virtual method? C VirtualNewImplements_IInterfaceType1_VTABLE offset__ GetStringFromInt32(…) … 4 True same calculation both the class VTABLE and interface VTABLE. arg0 = this - offset__ VirtualNewAndImplementType_GetStringFromInt32( VirtualNewAndImplementType* this)
90. How works virtual methods C# Implicit implement
91. How works virtual methods C#
92. How works virtual methods C# 1. Find the interface from mostly derived 2. Listup methods from found to same signature 3. Find the method from mostly overrided and NOT newslot
