2011-03-09Fix 18 exabyte memory allocation failureBjörn Gustavsson
The new_binary() function takes a size argument that is an int. In the 64-bit emulator (sizeof(int) == 4, sizeof(Uint) == 8), any sizes >= 0x8000000 become 0xffffffff80000000 and above and triggers a memory allocation failure. Change the type of the size argument to Uint, and change any callers that cast the argument to an int. Correction-by: Jon Meredith
2011-03-04erts: Initialize register that may be referenced by garbage collectionBjörn Gustavsson
The call_fun() function in the BEAM emulator is supposed to to put the fun term in the x register following the actual arguments and environment for the fun. But if the fun is not loaded and a call to the error_handler:undefined_lambda/3 function is set up, the x(3) register will not be initialized. The lack of initialization is very unlikely to cause a problem in practice, because all of the following things must happen: 1) An unloaded fun must be called (i.e. the fun must have been received from another node or from a file or dets table). 2) The process must be scheduled out before the call to the error_handler:undefined_lambda/3 function can take place. 3) The process must be garbage collected before the process is scheduled in. 4) The x(3) register must contain a stale cons or box pointer that happens to point into the the heap of the currently executing process. (Because of the literal pool, the GC will never copy anything that is outside of the heap.) I was not able to write a test case that would force an emulator crash.

2011-02-23beam_emu: Remove unnecessary decrement of I in "case_end r"Björn Gustavsson
It is not necessary to decrement I, because an exception is about to be generated. Furthermore, I pointing *before* the instruction that caused the exception may cause problems in the future.

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.
2011-01-18Lower the maximum arity from 256 to 255Björn Gustavsson
Historically, for no good reason, a function is allowed to have from 0 to 256 arguments. Thus, the number of arguments *almost* fits into a byte. HiPE only supports up to 255 arguments (because it assumes that the function arity fits into a single byte), and fixing that limitation would require ugly special-case handling. In Dialyzer, the arity type is defined to be a byte (i.e. 0..255). Since no-one uses functions with 256 arguments anyway, lower the limit to 255.

2011-01-17Introduce a few more variations of the move instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Frequency counts show that move Const x(1) move Const x(2) are very common.
2011-01-17Combine a move + jump sequence into the move_jump instructionBjörn Gustavsson
That will save one word and small amount of time for each occurrence.
2011-01-17Optimize and clean-up the exact equality/non-equality instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
The is_eq_exact/3 and is_ne_exact/3 instructions are commonly used with one immediate or literal operand. Introduce three new specialized instructions: i_is_eq_exact_literal/3 i_is_ne_exact_immed/3 i_is_ne_exact_literal/3 The i_is_ne_exact_literal/3 instruction is not very frequently used, but its existence is justified because we removed in a a previous commit the special instruction for matching bignums and we now use i_is_ne_exact_literal/3 instead. For consistency, rename the existing is_eq_immed/3 instruction to is_eq_exact_immed/3. While at it, remove the optimization of an is_eq/3 instruction with an immediate operand because that optimization is already done by the compiler.
2011-01-17Optimize addition of a small integer to a variableBjörn Gustavsson
Introduce a new i_increment/4 to optimize the addition of a register and a small integer. This instruction saves two instruction words compared to the standard instructions (an i_fetch/2 instruction followed by a i_plus/3 instruction) and will also be slightly faster.
2011-01-17Introduce a special instruction for select_val with two valuesBjörn Gustavsson
The new instruction will save one word (because no size operand is needed), and is slightly faster. Handle select_tuple_arity in the same way.
2011-01-17Introduce a few more specialized put_list instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
2011-01-17Eliminate the "put_list c n Dst" instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Since the literal (constant) pool was introduced in R12, the BEAM compiler will never generate a "put_list Const [] Dst" instruction (it will instead generate a "move [Const] Dst" instruction).
2011-01-17Eliminate the specific move_sd instructionBjörn Gustavsson
The move_sd specific instruction is no longer used since there are specific move instructions covering all possible permutations of operands. Also eliminate the move_cy instruction because it is almost never generated by the compiler.
2011-01-17Eliminate use of GetArg1() in the badmatch and case_end instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Create separate instructions for each register type. The "badmatch x(0)" and "case_end x(0)" (which are very common) will only require a single word each, compared to two words when GetArg1() is used.
