2018-05-08erts: Cleanup ets codeSverker Eriksson
2017-11-21erts: Remove obsolete commentsSverker Eriksson
2017-07-17erts: Replace usage of all erts_smp prefixes to just ertsLukas Larsson

2017-04-12erts: Introduce struct binary_internalsSverker Eriksson
to replace macro ERTS_INTERNAL_BINARY_FIELDS as header in Binary and friends.
2017-04-11erts: Introduce erts_bin_releaseSverker Eriksson
2017-04-11erts: Init refc=1 in erts_bin_drv_alloc*Sverker Eriksson
2017-04-11erts: Init refc=1 in erts_bin_nrml_allocSverker Eriksson
Only term_to_binary needed some extra attention as it used to initialize refc as 0 instead of 1.
2017-02-28erts: Convert small sub-binaries to heap-binariesBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
In many cases sub-binaries costs more memory than converting them to heap-binaries. Sub-binaries also has a hidden cost of pinning larger binaries in memory. By converting binaries this cost is reduced. Byte aligned sub-binaries upto 24 bytes (64-bit) or 12 bytes (32-bit) are converted.
2017-02-20erts: Avoid revival of dying resource by dec_termSverker Eriksson
2017-02-14erts: Add deallocation veto for magic destructorsSverker Eriksson
A magic destructor can return 0 and thereby take control and prolong the lifetime of a magic binary.

2017-02-06Implement magic referencesRickard Green
Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization. An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly. Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers, and BIF timer identifiers. Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty binaries to the Erlang software.

2015-06-01erts: Fix magic binary alignment on 32-bitSverker Eriksson
Caused bus error on 32-bit sparc from unaligned 64-bit word in binary_to_term trap context. Also add _UNALIGNED_ magic macros to avoid double alignment padding in NIF resources.
2014-09-04erts: Refactor binary allocation interface to also initialize BinarySverker Eriksson
except the reference counter 'refc', as different callers have different strategies regarding the lifetime of the binary.
2014-06-27erts: Fix size overflow bugs in memory allocationSverker Eriksson

* sverk/bin2term-bitstr-bugs/OTP-11479: erts: Fix bug in binary_to_term for binaries larger than 2^31 erts: Fix bugs in binary_to_term for invalid bitstrings
2013-11-18erts: Fix bugs in binary_to_term for invalid bitstringsSverker Eriksson
<<131, 77, Len:32, Bits:8, Data/binary>> badarg if Bits > 8 Used to return internally inconsistent bitstring badarg if Len==0 and Bits > 0 Used to return invalid *huge* binary (size = (Uint)-1) badarg if Bits==0 and Len > 0 Used to return valid binary as if Bits was 8
2013-09-30erts: Remove ASSERT_EXPR macroSverker Eriksson
2013-09-30erts: Refactor the ASSERT macroSverker Eriksson
Introduce unconditional ERTS_ASSERT and use that for both ASSERT and ASSERT_EXPR.
2011-02-18HALFWORD ETS Fix copyright year in some source filesSverker Eriksson
2011-02-03HALFWORD ETS relative termsSverker Eriksson
In halfword emulator, make ETS use a variant of the internal term format that uses relative offsets instead of absolute pointers. This will allow storage in high memory (>4G). Preprocessor macros (like list_val_rel(TERM,BASE)) are used to make normal (fullword) emulator almost completely unchanged while still reusing most of the code.
2010-11-29Add bifs to translate between erlang filenames and native encodingPatrik Nyblom
2010-05-17Add guard BIFs binary_part/2,3Patrik Nyblom
Add the gc_bif's to the VM. Add infrastructure for gc_bif's (guard bifs that can gc) with two and. three arguments in VM (loader and VM). Add compiler support for gc_bif with three arguments. Add compiler (and interpreter) support for new guard BIFs. Add testcases for new guard BIFs in compiler and emulator.
2010-05-17Add binary:list_to_bin/1 and binary:copy/1,2Patrik Nyblom
Add testcases for binary:list_to_bin/1 and binary:copy/1,2. Add reference implementation of list_to_bin/1.
2010-05-17Add binary:longest_common_prefix/longest_common_suffixPatrik Nyblom
Add allcoator parameter to erts_get_aligned_binary_bytes_extra. Add testcases for the functions above. Add reference implementation for the functions above.
2010-03-10Store pointers to heap data in 32-bit wordsPatrik Nyblom
Store Erlang terms in 32-bit entities on the heap, expanding the pointers to 64-bit when needed. This works because all terms are stored on addresses in the 32-bit address range (the 32 most significant bits of pointers to term data are always 0). Introduce a new datatype called UWord (along with its companion SWord), which is an integer having the exact same size as the machine word (a void *), but might be larger than Eterm/Uint. Store code as machine words, as the instructions are pointers to executable code which might reside outside the 32-bit address range. Continuation pointers are stored on the 32-bit stack and hence must point to addresses in the low range, which means that loaded beam code much be placed in the low 32-bit address range (but, as said earlier, the instructions themselves are full words). No Erlang term data can be stored on C stacks (enforced by an earlier commit). This version gives a prompt, but test cases still fail (and dump core). The loader (and emulator loop) has instruction packing disabled. The main issues has been in rewriting loader and actual virtual machine. Subsystems (like distribution) does not work yet.
