AST-based expression representation and operations (kmath-ast)

This subproject implements the following features:

  • Expression Language and its parser.
  • MST as expression language's syntax intermediate representation.
  • Type-safe builder of MST.
  • Evaluating expressions by traversing MST.

Dynamic expression code generation with OW2 ASM

kmath-ast JVM module supports runtime code generation to eliminate overhead of tree traversal. Code generator builds a special implementation of Expression<T> with implemented invoke function.

For example, the following builder:

    RealField.mstInField { symbol("x") + 2 }.compile()

… leads to generation of bytecode, which can be decompiled to the following Java class:

package scientifik.kmath.asm.generated;

import java.util.Map;
import scientifik.kmath.asm.internal.MapIntrinsics;
import scientifik.kmath.expressions.Expression;
import scientifik.kmath.operations.RealField;

public final class AsmCompiledExpression_1073786867_0 implements Expression<Double> {
    private final RealField algebra;
    private final Object[] constants;

    public AsmCompiledExpression_1073786867_0(RealField algebra, Object[] constants) {
        this.algebra = algebra;
        this.constants = constants;
    }

    public final Double invoke(Map<String, ? extends Double> arguments) {
        return (Double)this.algebra.add(((Double)MapIntrinsics.getOrFail(arguments, "x", (Object)null)).doubleValue(), 2.0D);
    }
}

Example Usage

This API is an extension to MST and MSTExpression APIs. You may optimize both MST and MSTExpression:

RealField.mstInField { symbol("x") + 2 }.compile()
RealField.expression("x+2".parseMath())

Known issues

  • The same classes may be generated and loaded twice, so it is recommended to cache compiled expressions to avoid class loading overhead.
  • This API is not supported by non-dynamic JVM implementations (like TeaVM and GraalVM) because of using class loaders.
