This module is now in common_test.app, so it will be included in the
release which is upgraded from (and to).
|
|
This is done early so test of ct_release_test shall work.
|
|
Remove the unreachable instructions after a 'raise' instruction
(e.g. a 'jump' or 'deallocate', 'return') to decrease code size.
|
|
The raise/2 instruction is almost always used like this:
raise x(2) x(1)
Therefore, we can translate it to an internal i_raise/0
instruction that uses x(2) x(1) as its implicit operands.
We will also remove the backward compatibility with R10-0. It is
unlikely that anyone still is using BEAM files compiled with the R10-0
compiler, especially since most of those modules cannot be loaded. The
loader will refuse to load any module that uses the old non-GCIng
arithmetic instructions or the non-GCing versions of length/1 or
size/1.
Doing these changes will reduce both the size of the loaded BEAM
code and size of the code in process_main().

Increase max number of messages sent to fill buffers.
|
|
|
|
Instead of INTERNAL_CREATION (255), use empty atom for node name
to mean the local node (regardless of node name or creation).
The purpose is to get rid of special value 255, for future expansion
of creation to 32-bit.

Update spec for rpc:pinfo/2
|
|
rpc:pinfo/2 is documented as a location-transparent version
of process_info/2. Therefore, it should be expected that
the spec would allow calls with an item list, for example:
rpc:pinfo(Pid, [initial_call,last_calls])

There is no reason to rename bs_put_utf16/3.
(We rename instructions if we'll need to change the operands or
if we will need to avoid an endless transformation loop. Neither
of these reasons apply to bs_put_utf16/3.)
|
|
Optimizations that are possible to do by the compiler should be
done by the compiler and not by the loader.
If the compiler has done its job correctly, attempting to do the two
transformations only wastes time.
|
|
The removal of instructions on the left side of a transformation
is done while generating the code for the left side.
Postpone removal of unused variables to a later, separate passes to
allow more variables to be eliminated after the optimizations
passes introduced in the previous commits.
|
|
In transformations such as:
move S X0=x==0 | line Loc | call_ext Ar Func => \
line Loc | move S X0 | call_ext Ar Func
we can avoid rebuilding the last instruction in the sequence
by introducing a 'keep' instruction.
Currently, there are only 13 transformations that are hit by
this optimization, but most of them are frequently used.
|
|
Introduce a 'rename' instruction that can be used to optimize
simple renaming with unchanged operands such as:
get_tuple_element Reg P Dst => i_get_tuple_element Reg P Dst
By allowing it to lower the arity of instruction, transformations
such as the following can be handled:
trim N Remaining => i_trim N
All in all, currently 67 transformations can be optimized in this
way, including some commonly used ones.
|
|
Generic instructions have a min_window field. Its purpose is to
avoid calling transform_engine() when there are too few instructions
in the current "transformation window" for a transformation to
succeed.
Currently it does not do much good since the window size will be
decremented by one before being used. The reason for the subtraction
is probably that in some circumstances in the past, the loader could
read past the end of the BEAM module while attempting to fetch
instructions to increase the window size. Therefore, it would not
be safe to just remove the subtraction by one.
The simplest and safest solution seems to always ensure that there
are always at least TWO instructions when calling transform_engine().
That will be safe, as long as a BEAM module is always finished with
an int_code_end/0 that is not involved in any transformation.

When an instruction with a variable number operands (such as
select_val) is seen of the left side of a transformation, the
'next_arg' instruction will allocate a buffer to fit all variables and
all operands will be copied into the buffer. Very often, the 'commit'
instruction will never be reached because of a test or predicate
failing or because of a short window; in that case, the variable
buffer will be deallocated.
Note that originally there were only few instructions with a variable
number of operands, but now common operations such as tuple building
also have a variable number of operands.
To avoid those frequent allocations and deallocations, modify the
'next_arg' instruction to only save a pointer to the first of the
"rest" arguments. Also move the deallocation of the instructions
on the left side from the 'commit' instruction to the 'end'
instruction to ensure that 'store_rest_args' will still work.
