elib_malloc is an alternate memory allocator that
is no longer possible to build.
|
|
A long time ago, the Erlang run-time system could be
build with pre-ANSI/ISO-C (K&R) C compilers, but that is
no longer possible. Remove the remaining uses of the
compatibility macros that made it possible that possible.

|
Alignment of trailing data in messages has been adjusted.
This in order to be able to pass data of any type as
trailing data in the future.
|
|
The experimental Standalone Erlang (SAE) support based on
Joe Armstrong's work has long been broken. Remove the remaining
code and Makefile rules.
|
|
The get_int64() macro has never been used (it was probably added
for completeness at the same time that put_int64() was added),
but it was not actually used and therefore it does not actually
work.

In the erts/emulator/beam sources
#ifdef SOME_OPERATING_SYSTEM
should be avoided. Instead, call a function implemented in
sys/OPERATING_SYSTEM/sys.c.

Store pointers to heap data in 32-bit words
Add a custom mmap wrapper to force heaps into the lower address range
Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address range
|

Some test suites need to differentiate between 32-bit terms
and 32-bit pointers.
While at it, remove some more warnings in process.c for SMP and debug.
|
|
For cleanliness, use BeamInstr instead of the UWord
data type to any machine-sized words that are used
for BEAM instructions. Only use UWord for untyped
words in general.

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.

new mandatory configuration variable that replaces all other
previously mandatory configuration variables, and better
documentation. Note that old cross compilation configurations
cannot be used without modifications.
For more information see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file.
