2016-03-29erts: inline tag_val_defLukas Larsson
The tag_val_def function was called and multiple switch statements had to be traversed in term.c, and then a big switch in the calling code to branch on the term types. By inlining the switches are merged by the compiler and a lot fewer branches have to be taken. Benchmarks show that this increases performance of enc_term by as much as 10%.

2016-02-24erts: Change erl_exit into erts_exitSverker Eriksson
This is mostly a pure refactoring. Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT. Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, ) ------- ------------------- ------------------------------------------- exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0 crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0 The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have changed).

2015-09-01erts: Fix bug when tracing with 'process_dump'Sverker Eriksson
If the process stack contained a match state the print function would crash the vm as it was not recognized by tag_val_def(). Add new MATCHSTATE_DEF returned by tag_val_def(). All other callers either ignore it or has a default clause to handle invalid terms.
2015-07-03Allow X and Y registers to be overloaded with any literalBjörn Gustavsson
Consider the try_case_end instruction: try_case_end s The 's' operand type means that the operand can either be a literal of one of the types atom, integer, or empty list, or a register. That worked well before R12. In R12 additional types of literals where introduced. Because of way the overloading was done, an 's' operand cannot handle the new types of literals. Therefore, code such as the following is necessary in ops.tab to avoid giving an 's' operand a literal: try_case_end Literal=q => move Literal x | try_case_end x While this work, it is error-prone in that it is easy to forget to add that kind of rule. It would also be complicated in case we wanted to introduce a new kind of addition operator such as: i_plus jssd Since there are two 's' operands, two scratch registers and two 'move' instructions would be needed. Therefore, we'll need to find a smarter way to find tag register operands. We will overload the pid and port tags for X and Y register, respectively. That works because pids and port are immediate values (fit in one word), and there are no literals for pids and ports.

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.

2010-03-10Store 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.
2010-03-10Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address rangePatrik Nyblom
This is the first step in the implementation of the half-word emulator, a 64-bit emulator where all pointers to heap data will be stored in 32-bit words. Code specific for this emulator variant is conditionally compiled when the HALFWORD_HEAP define has a non-zero value. First force all pointers to heap data to fall into a single 32-bit range, but still store them in 64-bit words. Temporary term data stored on C stack is moved into scheduler specific storage (allocated as heaps) and macros are added to make this happen only in emulators where this is needed. For a vanilla VM the temporary terms are still stored on the C stack.
