Here's the CIL code generated by certain code snippets, which gives some insight of what's happening under the hood. Conventions: x and y are local integer variables; f and g are local floats; v is a local vector; a is a local list.
Here's the CIL code generated by the script below, which gives some insight of what's happening under the hood.

Compilation was done using the viewer's built-in compiler as suggested by [[User:Becky Pippen/LSL Performance]]. Assembly was done using <code>ilasm</code> from the Mono suite.

** The state name by itself takes no code memory, but internally, each event name includes the state name. The internal name for the event is e.g. <code>edefaultstate_entry</code> (for state <code>default</code>, event <code>state_entry</code>), <code>eblahtimer</code> (for state blah, event <code>timer</code>). These names take 1 byte per character.
** If a state switch statement appears in the code, the state name takes additionally 2 bytes per character. (But these strings are reused, so multiple state switch statements don't take additional space for the strings.)
 
Although not mentioned above, every single-byte string needs an additional terminating zero byte, and every UTF-16 string needs an additional length prefix byte (or more if longer than 127 bytes, i.e. 63 characters if in the ASCII range) plus an additional terminating zero byte.

Latest revision as of 16:56, 29 March 2015

Here's the CIL code generated by the script below, which gives some insight of what's happening under the hood.

Compilation was done using the viewer's built-in compiler as suggested by User:Becky Pippen/LSL Performance. Assembly was done using ilasm from the Mono suite.

Script that gets compiled: 

integer i;
u(){}

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        integer x;
        integer y = 0;
        integer z;
        float f;
        float g;
        vector v;
        list a;

        ;;;;;;;;;{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}
        return;
        x;
        (x);
        (integer)x;
        (float)x;

Important notes:
  • ldloc.s 0 (opcode 11, argument 00) is probably contracted to the abbreviation ldloc.0 (opcode 06) at assembly time, resulting in the length of 2 obtained in the memory usage tests. Or possibly the server-side compiler added an optimization of this case (!). Either way, the evidence for this is confirmed by the fact that x; takes 2 bytes if it's one of the first four local variables (there are 1-byte opcodes for ldloc.0 through ldloc.3), and 3 bytes otherwise. This applies to all appearances of this opcode and the similar stloc.s.
  • Local variable definitions seem to take a variable and big number of bytes (averaging about 47 bytes for local integers) if there is a function call anywhere in the event in which they are defined. Reason unknown.
  • Backward jumps seem to take many more bytes than what the CIL result above suggests. Forward jumps, however, seem predictable enough.
  • As things are now, having more than 256 local variables in a single function or event causes wraparound, making the 257th be an alias to the 1st, and so on. If they aren't the same type, the script crashes at runtime with an uncaught exception. That's a consequence of using ldloc.s / stloc.s without switching to the long version (ldloc / stloc) when the argument is greater than 255.
Additional memory usage notes:
  • Global variable, function, and function parameter names do take code memory from the script (as part of some symbol table). Fortunately they take 1 byte per character only, as opposed to Mono strings, which take at least 2 bytes per character (they are UTF-16). That extra code is only taken once per variable, regardless of how many times it is used.
  • In addition to the state code and state change command code, the state names themselves take code memory from the script, as follows:
    • The state name by itself takes no code memory, but internally, each event name includes the state name. The internal name for the event is e.g. edefaultstate_entry (for state default, event state_entry), eblahtimer (for state blah, event timer). These names take 1 byte per character.
    • If a state switch statement appears in the code, the state name takes additionally 2 bytes per character. (But these strings are reused, so multiple state switch statements don't take additional space for the strings.)

Although not mentioned above, every single-byte string needs an additional terminating zero byte, and every UTF-16 string needs an additional length prefix byte (or more if longer than 127 bytes, i.e. 63 characters if in the ASCII range) plus an additional terminating zero byte.
