Evaluation harness for the HumanEval Rust problem solving dataset

HumanEval Rust: Evaluation Harness for SigilDERG Ecosystem

A specialized evaluation harness for assessing Rust code generation capabilities of language models, designed as a core component of the SigilDERG ecosystem for Rust-focused AI development.

About the SigilDERG Ecosystem

This evaluation harness is part of an integrated pipeline for training and evaluating Rust code generation models:

1. SigilDERG-Data_Production: Generates high-quality, instruction-style Rust code datasets from real-world crates using static analysis and quality filters
2. SigilDERG-Finetuner: Fine-tunes language models (like Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) on Rust code using QLoRA and multi-phase training strategies
3. HumanEval Rust (this project): Evaluates model performance on standardized Rust programming problems using the HumanEval benchmark format
4. sigil-mmf-codex-priv: Additional components for the ecosystem

Target Model

This evaluator is designed to work with fine-tuned Rust code generation models, particularly:

• Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Rust-QLora: A Phase 1 fine-tuned model produced using the SigilDERG Finetuner

Installation

Prerequisites

This package requires Python 3.12.10 or later. We recommend using a virtual environment:

Usage

⚠️ Security Warning: This program exists to run untrusted model-generated Rust code. Users are strongly encouraged not to do so outside of a robust security sandbox. Rust completions are compiled and executed via rust_execution.py; you should sandbox the Rust evaluator, because it builds binaries from untrusted code and runs their tests locally.

Basic Evaluation Workflow

1. Generate completions from your model using the HumanEval Rust prompts
2. Save samples in JSONL format with task_id and completion fields
3. Run evaluation to get pass@k metrics and detailed results

Example: Evaluating a Fine-Tuned Model

from human_eval.data import read_problems, write_jsonl, get_human_eval_dataset
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

# Load your fine-tuned model (e.g., from HuggingFace)
model_name = "Superuser666-Sigil/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Rust-QLora"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Load HumanEval Rust problems
rust_problems = read_problems(get_human_eval_dataset())

# Generate completions
samples = []
for task_id, problem in rust_problems.items():
    prompt = problem["prompt"]
    
    # Generate completion (adjust parameters as needed)
    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model.generate(
            **inputs,
            max_new_tokens=512,
            temperature=0.2,
            do_sample=True,
        )
    completion = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
    
    samples.append(dict(task_id=task_id, completion=completion))

# Save samples
write_jsonl("rust_samples.jsonl", samples)

# Evaluate
# Run: evaluate_functional_correctness rust_samples.jsonl

Command-Line Evaluation

$ evaluate_functional_correctness rust_samples.jsonl

The evaluator provides detailed results in <input>_results.jsonl with per-sample pass/fail status and execution results ("passed", "timed out", or "failed").

Integration with SigilDERG Finetuner

The evaluation workflow integrates seamlessly with the SigilDERG Finetuner evaluation system:

1. After training: Use the finetuner's evaluation scripts to generate samples
2. Run this evaluator: Process the generated samples to get HumanEval metrics
3. Compare metrics: Track improvements across training phases

Example integration:

# After Phase 1 training, evaluate checkpoint
python scripts/generate_samples.py \
  --checkpoint out/llama8b-rust-qlora-phase1/checkpoint-1000 \
  --output eval_samples.jsonl

# Evaluate with HumanEval Rust
evaluate_functional_correctness eval_samples.jsonl \
  --problem_file=data/HumanEval_rust.jsonl

Quick Sanity Check

The example samples should yield 0.5 pass@1:

$ evaluate_functional_correctness data/example_rust_samples.jsonl --problem_file=data/example_rust_problem.jsonl
Reading samples...
4it [00:00, 1959.50it/s]
Running test suites...
100%|...| 4/4 [00:03<00:00,  1.13it/s]
Writing results to data/example_rust_samples.jsonl_results.jsonl...
100%|...| 4/4 [00:00<00:00, 1536.38it/s]
{'pass@1': 0.5}

Security and Sandboxing

⚠️ Important: This evaluator runs untrusted LLM-generated Rust code. For production use, always use Docker or Firejail sandboxing.

The evaluator includes multiple layers of security:

1. Pattern-based filtering (optional, enabled by default): Blocks dangerous code patterns before execution (filesystem, network, process operations, unsafe code, etc.). Can be disabled with --no-enforce-policy for pure HumanEval compatibility.
2. Process isolation: Each evaluation runs in a separate process
3. Docker/Firejail sandboxing (recommended): Full container/jail isolation with resource limits

Policy Enforcement Modes:

• --enforce-policy (default): Enables pattern-based filtering for security. Use this for production evaluation of untrusted LLM-generated code.
• --no-enforce-policy: Disables pattern filtering for pure HumanEval compatibility. Use this when you need exact 1:1 comparability with the original HumanEval benchmark format (research/publication mode).

Sandbox Modes:

• docker (recommended): Uses Docker containers with --network=none, read-only filesystem, memory/CPU limits
• firejail: Uses Firejail for Linux systems without Docker
• auto (default): Auto-detects available sandbox (Docker → Firejail → none)
• none: No sandboxing (UNSAFE - only for local development with trusted code)

Docker Setup:

# Docker image is built automatically on first use
# Or build manually:
docker build -t human-eval-rust-sandbox -f Dockerfile.eval .

Firejail Setup (Linux only):

# Install Firejail
sudo apt-get install firejail  # Debian/Ubuntu
# or
sudo yum install firejail       # RHEL/CentOS

Dataset Format

The HumanEval Rust dataset (data/HumanEval_rust.jsonl) contains 164 Rust programming problems. Each problem includes:

• task_id: Unique identifier (e.g., "HumanEval/0")
• prompt: Function signature and docstring
• canonical_solution: Reference implementation
• test: Rust test cases using #[cfg(test)]
• entry_point: Function name

Sample format:

{"task_id": "HumanEval/0", "prompt": "fn has_close_elements(...) -> bool{", "canonical_solution": "...", "test": "#[cfg(test)]\nmod tests {...}", "entry_point": "has_close_elements"}

Integration with SigilDERG Pipeline

Complete Workflow

1. Data Production → Generate training data with SigilDERG-Data_Production
2. Model Fine-Tuning → Train on Rust code with SigilDERG-Finetuner
3. Evaluation → Assess performance with this HumanEval Rust harness
4. Iteration → Use results to guide further training and data collection

Metrics and Benchmarking

This evaluator provides standardized pass@k metrics that complement the comprehensive evaluation metrics from the SigilDERG Finetuner:

• Compilation metrics: Success rates, clippy warnings
• Code quality: Documentation, idiomatic patterns
• Functional correctness: HumanEval pass@k scores (this project)

Together, these metrics provide a complete picture of model performance for Rust code generation.

Known Issues

While evaluation uses very little memory, you might see the following error message when the system is running out of RAM. Since this may cause some correct programs to fail, we recommend that you free some memory and try again.

malloc: can't allocate region
