beam_block: Fix potentially unsafe optimization in move_allocates/1
beam_block has an optimization that only is safe when it is applied immediately after code generation. That is pointed out in a comment: NOTE: Moving allocation instructions is only safe because it is done immediately after code generation so that we KNOW that if {x,X} is initialized, all x registers with lower numbers are also initialized. That assumption may not be true after other optimizations, such as the beam_utils:live_opt/1 optimization. The new beam_reorder pass added in OTP 19 runs before beam_block. Therefore, the optimization is potentially unsafe. The optimization is also unsafe if compilation is started from assembly code in a .S file. Rewrite the optimization to make it safe. See the newly added comment for details. ERL-202

-%% NOTE: Moving allocation instructions is only safe because it is done
-%% immediately after code generation so that we KNOW that if {x,X} is
-%% initialized, all x registers with lower numbers are also initialized.
-%% That assumption may not be true after other optimizations, such as
-%% the beam_utils:live_opt/1 optimization.
+%% For example, we can transform the following instructions:
+%%
+%% get_tuple_element x(1) Element => x(2)
+%% allocate_zero StackSize 3 %% x(0), x(1), x(2) are live
+%%
+%% to the following instructions:
+%%
+%% allocate_zero StackSize 2 %% x(0) and x(1) are live
+%% get_tuple_element x(1) Element => x(2)
+%%
+%% NOTE: Since the beam_reorder pass has been run, it is no longer
+%% safe to assume that if x(N) is initialized, then all lower-numbered
+%% x registers are also initialized.
+%%
+%% For example, in general it is not safe to transform the following
+%% instructions:
+%%
+%% get_tuple_element x(0) Element => x(1)
+%% allocate_zero StackSize 3 %x(0), x(1), x(2) are live
+%%
+%% to the following instructions:
+%%
+%% allocate_zero StackSize 3
+%% get_tuple_element x(0) Element => x(1)
+%%
+%% The transformation is safe if and only if x(1) has been
+%% initialized previously. Unfortunately, beam_reorder may have moved
+%% a get_tuple_element instruction so that x(1) is not always
+%% initialized when this code is reached. To find whether or not x(1)
+%% is initialized, we would need to analyze all code preceding these
+%% two instructions (across branches). Since we currently don't have
+%% any practical mechanism for doing that, we will have to
+%% conservatively assume that the transformation is unsafe.
