2017-08-15Slightly optimize updating of mapsBjörn Gustavsson
The instruction put_map_assoc/5 (used for updating a map) has a failure operand, but it can't actually fail provided that its "map" argument is a map. The following code: M#{key=>value}. will be compiled to: {test,is_map,{f,3},[{x,0}]}. {line,[...]}. {put_map_assoc,{f,0},{x,0},{x,0},1,{list,[{atom,key},{atom,value}]}}. return. {label,3}. %% Code that produces a 'badmap' exception follows. Because of the is_map instruction, {x,0} always contains a map when the put_map_assoc instruction is executed. Therefore we can remove the failure operand. That will save one word, and also eliminate two tests at run-time. The only problem is that the compiler in OTP 17 did not emit a is_map instruction before the put_map_assoc instruction. Therefore, we must add an instruction that tests for a map if the code was compiled with the OTP 17 compiler. Unfortunately, there is no safe and relatively easy way to known that the OTP 17 compiler was used, so we will check whether a compiler before OTP 20 was used. OTP 20 introduced a new chunk type for atoms, which is trivial to check.

2017-08-08Simplify specifying implementation of instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Eliminate the need to write pre-processor macros for each instruction. Instead allow the implementation of instruction to be written in C directly in the .tab files. Rewrite all existing macros in this way and remove the %macro directive.

Add stacktrace entries to BIF calls from emulator
2017-07-07Add stacktrace entries to BIF calls from emulatorJosé Valim
The goal of this change is to improve debugging of emulator calls. For example, the following code rem(1, y) will error with atom `badarith` when y is 0 and the stacktrace has no entry for `erlang:rem/2`, making such cases very hard to debug. This patch makes it so the stacktrace includes `erlang:rem(1, 0)`. The following emulator BIFs have been changed: * band/2 * bnot/1 * bor/2 * bsl/2 * bsr/2 * bxor/2 * div/2 * element/2 * int_div/2 * rem/2 * sminus/2 * splus/2 * stimes/2

Introduce new_map_lit operation in the loader OTP-14502
2017-07-06Introduce new_small_map_lit opMichal Muskala
Take advantage of the fact that small maps have a tuple for keys. When new map is constructed and all keys are literals, we can construct the entire keys tuple as a literal. This should reduce the memory of maps created with literal keys almost by half, since they all can share the same keys tuple.

Make tuple calls opt-in OTP-14497
2017-07-04Make tuple calls opt-inJosé Valim
Tuple calls is the ability to invoke a function on a tuple as first argument: 1> Var = dict:new(). {dict,0,16,16,8,80,48, {[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]}, {{[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]}}} 2> Var:size(). 0 This behaviour is considered by most to be undesired and confusing, especially when it comes to errors. For example, imagine you invoke "Mod:new()" where a Mod is an atom and you accidentally pass {ok, dict}. It raises: {undef,[{ok,new,[{ok,dict}],[]},...]} As it attempts to invoke ok:new/1, which is really hard to debug as there is no call to new/1 on the source code. Furthemore, this behaviour is implemented at the VM level, which imposes such semantics on all languages running on BEAM. Since we cannot remove the behaviour above, this proposal makes the behaviour opt-in with a compiler flag: -compile(tuple_calls). This means that, if a codebase relies on this functionality, they can keep compatibility by adding configuring their build tool to always use the 'tuple_calls' flag or explicitly on each module. As long as the compile attribute above is listed, the codebase will work on old and new Erlang versions alike. The only downside of the current implementation is that modules compiled on OTP 20 that rely on 'tuple_calls' will have to be recompiled to run with 'tuple_calls' on OTP 21+.

2017-06-28Reduce C code size for bit syntax instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Bit syntax instructions never store their result in a Y register. Therefore, change the bit syntax instructions to use 'x' as the destination instead of 'd'. That will simplify the code that stores the result, and will be a slight reduction in code size and execution time.

instead of a strange 'undef' exception.
2017-05-18Eliminate the -gen_dest macro flagBjörn Gustavsson
Instructions that take a 'd' argument needs a -gen_dest flag in their macros. For example: %macro:put_list PutList -pack -gen_dest put_list s s d -gen_dest was needed when x(0) was stored in a register, since it is not possible to take the address of a register. Now that x(0) is stored in memory and we can take the address, we can eliminate gen_dest.
2017-05-05Clear p->fvalue when handling a try/catchBjörn Gustavsson
p->fvalue will be set by BIFs that generate exceptions (such as throw/1), and it will not be cleared before another exception is generated. Potentially, p->fvalue may contain a huge term (e.g. after throw(HugeTerm)) which will be kept in the heap. We can shorten the lifetime of f->value by clearing it in the instructions that handle catches: catch_end and try_end. That is safe because BEAM code will never access p->fvalue. If BEAM code needs to rethrow an exception it will use a reference to the value passed in an X register. The reason that p->fvalue must not be cleared already in handle_error() is that native code trap handlers will use it. (See the comment before handle_error() and the comment at the end of handle_error() in beam_emu.c for some more information about exception handling.)

2017-03-24compiler: Add is_tagged_tuple instructionBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Rewrite the instruction stream on tagged tuple tests. Tagged tuples means a tuple of any arity with an atom as its first element. Typically records, ok-tuples and error-tuples. from: ... {test,is_tuple,Fail,[Src]}. {test,test_arity,Fail,[Src,Sz]}. ... {get_tuple_element,Src,0,Dst}. ... {test,is_eq_exact,Fail,[Dst,Atom]}. ... to: ... {test,is_tagged_tuple,Fail,[Src,Sz,Atom]}. ...
2017-02-27erts: Fix proc arity value when exitingLukas Larsson
Not setting it correctly will cause the swapin later to fail in debug build as REDS_IN will overwrite the value in reg[5].

NIF resources was not handled in a thread-safe manner in the runtime system without SMP support. As a consequence of this fix, the following driver functions are now thread-safe also in the runtime system without SMP support: - driver_free_binary() - driver_realloc_binary() - driver_binary_get_refc() - driver_binary_inc_refc() - driver_binary_dec_refc()

Did not work with purge and made worse by new purge strategy. Did yield terrible performance when fun thing is created *before* fun code is loaded.

2016-10-12erts: Refactor out func_info into structLukas Larsson
This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent erlang code in erts. ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that were previously used to point to these locations. After this change the code should never use BeamInstr * with offsets to figure out different parts of the func_info header. ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also in Process->current. All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr * to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo where appropriate. The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to make it work.
