Optimise creation of anonymous functions
2018-07-17Optimise creation of anonymous functionsMichał Muskała
This introduces a similar optimisation for normal funs to what was introduced for external funs in #1725. It is possible to allocate the fun as a literal, if it does not capture the environment (i.e. it does not close over any variables). Unfortunately it's not possible to do this in the compiler due to problems with representation of such functions in the `.beam` files. Fortunately, we can do this in the loader. Simple evaluation shows that functions that don't capture the enviornment consistute over 60% of all funs in the source code of Erlang/OTP itself. The only downside is that we lose a meningful value in the `pid` field of the fun. The goal of this field, beyond debugging, was to be able to identify the original node of a function. To be able to still do this, the functions that are created in the loader are assigned the init pid as the creator. To solve issues with staryp, initially set the `erts_init_process_id` to `ERTS_INVALID_PID` and skip the described optimisation if the value is still uninitialised.

This makes it possible to create a custom integration with a key-value store for example. The key would then point to the actual address. You would have to write your own epmd module to make use of that feature.
