2012-11-14Teach erl_interface configure more pthread supportPer Hedeland
- Teach lib/erl_interface/configure.in to look for pthreads support in libc (where it can be found on QNX) - A minor tweak such that this configure *fails* if you pass --enable-threads and no pthreads support can be found.

2012-07-20Revise the autoconf tests for double middle endianness.Mike Sperber
The previous iteration didn't work for big-endian systems. Now use code very close to what Erts does internally. Also, only warn when the double endianness is unknown - i.e. when we're cross-compiling.
2012-03-23Unbreak floating point on middle-endian machines.Mike Sperber
On some ARMs (and maybe other platforms), doubles are stored with the the two 32-bit words reversed with respect to more common architectures. The symptom is this: > io_lib:write(1.0). "0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000005299808824" Detect that and account for it when decoding floats.

2011-11-25configure: Define NO_JUMP_TABLE if all we have is llvm-gccBjörn Gustavsson
Commit dd24ca1cb76d attempts to fix the problem that LLVM-based compilers (such as llvm-gcc-4.2 and clang) miscompiles beam_emu.c. The idea was to force the use of gcc-4.2 if the default compiler was LLVM-based. Since that fix, Apple released Xcode 4.2 that does not include any version of gcc, only llvm-gcc-4.2 and clang. We could require gcc in order to be the system, but it would be nice if Erlang/OTP could be built out-of-box on MacOS X, albeit with reduced performance. Therefore, make sure that we set NO_JUMP_TABLE (use a switch statement instead of computed gotos in beam_emu.c) if no compiler that correctly handles computed gotos can be found. We know that clang based on the upcoming LLVM 3.0 will work, but older LLVM-based compilers will not, so we can test the version of clang. llvm-gcc has been discontinued in LLVM 3.0, so if the compiler is LLVM-based but not clang, we can assume that it does not handles computed gotos correctly.

2011-09-20Fix build problems on MacOS 10.7 (Lion)Björn Gustavsson
On MacOS 10.7 (Lion) with Xcode 4.1 installed, the default C compiler is llvm-gcc-4.2. That compiler compiles beam_emu.c incorrectly, resulting in an emulator that will not start. The problem can be worked around by turning off all optimizations, but that will significantly degrade the performance of the run-time system. The problem can also be worked around manually like this: CC=gcc-4.2 ./configure To allow a working system to be built "out of the box", have the configure script set up the emulator Makefile so that gcc-4.2 will be used to compile beam_emu.c if the default compiler is llvm-based. All other C files will still be compiled with the default compiler.

2011-06-14Improve ethread atomicsRickard Green
The ethread atomics API now also provide double word size atomics. Double word size atomics are implemented using native atomic instructions on x86 (when the cmpxchg8b instruction is available) and on x86_64 (when the cmpxchg16b instruction is available). On other hardware where 32-bit atomics or word size atomics are available, an optimized fallback is used; otherwise, a spinlock, or a mutex based fallback is used. The ethread library now performs runtime tests for presence of hardware features, such as for example SSE2 instructions, instead of requiring this to be determined at compile time. There are now functions implementing each atomic operation with the following implied memory barrier semantics: none, read, write, acquire, release, and full. Some of the operation-barrier combinations aren't especially useful. But instead of filtering useful ones out, and potentially miss a useful one, we implement them all. A much smaller set of functionality for native atomics are required to be implemented than before. More or less only cmpxchg and a membar macro are required to be implemented for each atomic size. Other functions will automatically be constructed from these. It is, of course, often wise to implement more that this if possible from a performance perspective.

2011-05-11Homogenize memory barriers on atomicsRickard Green
Atomic operations with specified barriers have specified barrier semantics. Set and read operations have undefined barrier semantics. All other atomic operations implied full memory barriers, except when using the libatomic_ops library and the tilera atomics api. Some code in the runtime system assumed that all operations used (except for set, read and specified) implied full memory barriers. The use of the libatomic_ops library and the tilera atomics api have therefore been modified to behave as the other implementations. Some atomic operations with specified barrier semantics on sparc32 have also been been relaxed in this commit.

2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable thread library used by the runtime system itself. Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock implementation which dramatically improve the performance of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the `{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information. The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations on more platforms than before. Use the `--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/ The changed API of the ethread library has also caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done since it depends on the ethread library. Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you need to pass the `--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command line argument when configuring the system.

2010-02-08OTP-8323 Cross compilation improvements and other build systemRickard Green
improvements. Most notable: Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross compilation support was more or less non-existing as well as broken. Please, note that the cross compilation support should still be considered as experimental. Also note that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more information on cross compiling Erlang/OTP see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file. Support for staged install using <url href="http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html">D ESTDIR</url>. The old broken INSTALL_PREFIX has also been fixed. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. Documentation of the release target of the top Makefile. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. make install now by default creates relative symbolic links instead of absolute ones. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/README file. $ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive now works and prints help for all applications with configure scripts. Doing make install, or make release directly after make all no longer triggers miscellaneous rebuilds. Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing make install, or make release without a preceding make all. The crypto and ssl applications use the same runtime library path when dynamically linking against libssl.so and libcrypto.so. The runtime library search path has also been extended. The configure scripts of erl_interface and odbc now search for thread libraries and thread library quirks the same way as erts do. The configure script of the odbc application now also looks for odbc libraries in lib64 and lib/64 directories when building on a 64-bit system. The config.h.in file in the erl_interface application is now automatically generated in instead of statically updated which reduces the risk of configure tests without any effect.
