[Relay] Add generic & informative Relay error reporting by jroesch · Pull Request #2408 · apache/tvm

jroesch · 2019-01-09T22:16:05Z

This PR adds the ability to generate informative error messages for Relay programs. This works irrespective of spans, and source programs.

The new error reporting works by collecting the set of errors generated by the program, then reporting them in two separate steps.

This design enables us to collect more than a single error when processing a program and report many at the same time. We can report errors on a module using the function mod->ReportError(...).

When can then choose to render the errors to the user as an error message using mod->RenderErrors(...). This will use the reported errors to annotated the program using the text printer.
The error messages will be marked in red on the line they occurred.

You can see an example of the error reporting in action below:

Currently I have only enabled this behavior in the type inferencer, but the machinery is generic and exposed by relay::Module ideally future passes can take advantage of it.

I plan to propose and implement a generic pass & pass manager interface soon. The pass manager should make it easy to opt-in to error reporting without much work from pass authors.

I just got a basic version of this working and am still in the process of polishing the PR.

This is ready for review, could everyone check it out?

tqchen · 2019-01-10T04:18:14Z

I will do it tomorrow evening

zhiics · 2019-01-10T07:22:22Z

@jroesch I briefly went through. I will do another pass later.

not necessary.

I misread this doc comment initially, as only describing two modes. It should be "The final mode" here. My bad.

This name could still use more discussions.

Given that this is an one-liner module[module->entry_func], maybe we don't need this function

What about Main?

remove this

+#include <vector>

can we put this into error.h? assuming this is part of error handling mechanism

There was a cyclic dependency issue that I was trying to avoid by splitting the files, a few places use relay::Error which ErrorReporter depends on.

tqchen · 2019-01-18T01:22:19Z

This is a very crucial feature for high-level IR, I would like to invite a few more reviewers, @zhiics @icemelon9 @nishi-t please comment, if you have time.

In particular, please see if the public error reporting API makes sense to you

zhiics · 2019-01-18T02:10:21Z

@tqchen No problem. I will do one tonight.

zhiics · 2019-01-18T02:17:25Z

 struct Error : public dmlc::Error {
-  explicit Error(const std::string &msg) : dmlc::Error(msg) {}
+  Span sp;
+  explicit Error(const std::string &msg) : dmlc::Error(msg), sp() {}


Suggested change

explicit Error(const std::string &msg) : dmlc::Error(msg), sp() {}

explicit Error(const std::string& msg) : dmlc::Error(msg), sp() {}

zhiics · 2019-01-18T03:03:26Z

+  // it may be good to instead report it to std::cout.
+  LOG(FATAL) << annotated_prog.str() << std::endl;
+
+  exit(1);


no need to have exit after LOG(FATAL)?

LOG(FATAL) doesn't tell the compiler that it is [noreturn] causing a warning to be triggered. We can choose to omit these but in general marking unreachable code and code that doesn't return allows the compiler to better optimize.

Thank you, @jroesch @joshpoll @zhiics @MarisaKirisame ! this is now merged

@jroesch I guess we forgot to call TypeInferencer here...?
