%%% Purpose : Optimise jumps and remove unreachable code.
-module(beam_jump).
-export([module/2,
is_unreachable_after/1,is_exit_instruction/1,
remove_unused_labels/1,is_label_used_in/2]).
%%% The following optimisations are done:
%%%
%%% (1) This code with two identical instruction sequences
%%%
%%% L1: <Instruction sequence>
%%% L2:
%%% . . .
%%% L3: <Instruction sequence>
%%% L4:
%%%
%%% can be replaced with
%%%
%%% L1: jump L3
%%% L2:
%%% . . .
%%% L3: <Instruction sequence>
%%% L4
%%%
%%% Note: The instruction sequence must end with an instruction
%%% such as a jump that never transfers control to the instruction
%%% following it.
%%%
%%% (2) Short sequences starting with a label and ending in case_end, if_end,
%%% and badmatch, and function calls that cause an exit (such as calls
%%% to exit/1) are moved to the end of the function, but only if the
%%% the block is not entered via a fallthrough. The purpose of this move
%%% is to allow further optimizations at the place from which the
%%% code was moved (a jump around the block could be replaced with a
%%% fallthrough).
%%%
%%% (3) Any unreachable code is removed. Unreachable code is code
%%% after jump, call_last and other instructions which never
%%% transfer control to the following instruction. Code is
%%% unreachable up to the next *referenced* label. Note that the
%%% optimisations below might generate more possibilities for
%%% removing unreachable code.
%%%
%%% (4) This code:
%%% L1: jump L2
%%% . . .
%%% L2: ...
%%%
%%% will be changed to
%%%
%%% jump L2
%%% . . .
%%% L1:
%%% L2: ...
%%%
%%% If the jump is unreachable, it will be removed according to (1).
%%%
%%% (5) In
%%%
%%% jump L1
%%% L1:
%%%
%%% the jump (but not the label) will be removed.
%%%
%%% (6) If test instructions are used to skip a single jump instruction,
%%% the test is inverted and the jump is eliminated (provided that
%%% the test can be inverted). Example:
%%%
%%% is_eq L1 {x,1} {x,2}
%%% jump L2
%%% L1:
%%%
%%% will be changed to
%%%
%%% is_ne L2 {x,1} {x,2}
%%% L1:
%%%
%%% Because there may be backward references to the label L1
%%% (for instance from the wait_timeout/1 instruction), we will
%%% always keep the label. (beam_clean will remove any unused
%%% labels.)
%%%
%%% Note: This modules depends on (almost) all branches and jumps only
%%% going forward, so that we can remove instructions (including definition
%%% of labels) after any label that has not been referenced by the code
%%% preceeding the labels. Regarding the few instructions that have backward
%%% references to labels, we assume that they only transfer control back
%%% to an instruction that has already been executed. That is, code such as
%%%
%%% jump L_entry
%%%
%%% L_again:
%%% .
%%% .
%%% .
%%% L_entry:
%%% .
%%% .
%%% .
%%% jump L_again;
%%%
%%% is NOT allowed (and such code is never generated by the code generator).
%%%
%%% Terminology note: The optimisation done here is called unreachable-code
%%% removal, NOT dead-code elimination. Dead code elimination means the
%%% removal of instructions that are executed, but have no visible effect
%%% on the program state.
%%%
