2011-10-13Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decodingBjörn Gustavsson
The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters 16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded. There is two ways to fix that inconsistency. We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally within an application and it will make encoding and decoding slightly faster.

2011-10-11Simplify transformations of gc_bif[123] instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Each gc_bif[123] instruction must have both a transformation in ops.tab and special code in gen_guard_bif[123](). Rewrite it to do most of the work in gen_guard_bif[123]().
2011-10-11Refactor 'too_old_compiler' handlingBjörn Gustavsson
In the handling of generic instructions, we used to always test whether the instruction was 'too_old_compiler' and abort loading with a special error message. Refactor the code so that we only do test if we an error has occurred. That will allow us to make the test more expensive in the future, allowing us to customize error messages for certain opcode without any cost in the successful case.
2011-10-11Introduce 'try_me_else_fail'Björn Gustavsson
2011-10-11Combine 'store_var' with 'next_arg'Björn Gustavsson
'store_var' is always followed by 'next_arg'.
2011-10-11Merge 'next_instr' and 'is_op' into 'next_instr'Björn Gustavsson
'next_instr' is always followed by 'is_op'.
2011-10-11Merge 'new_instr' and 'store_op' into 'new_instr'Björn Gustavsson
Since the 'new_instr' instruction always occurs before the 'store_op' instruction, we can merge the instructions into one. Also, there is no need to include the arity of the BEAM instruction as an operand, since the arity can be looked up based on the opcode.
2011-10-11Combine a 'call' instruction with the following 'end' instructionBjörn Gustavsson
A 'call' instruction in the loader transformation language is always followed by an 'end' instruction, so we can replace the 'call' instruction with a 'call_end' instruction.
2011-10-11Remove some unnecessary type constraints in transformationsBjörn Gustavsson
We don't need type constraints that essentially are assertions; the wrong type will be detected and loading aborted when no specific instruction can be found.
2011-10-11Get rid of redundant 'try_me_else' and 'fail' instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
If the left part of a transformation will always match, omit the the 'try_me_else' and 'fail' instructions. As part of this optimization, make it an error to have a transformation that can never be reached because of a previous transformation that will always match. (Remove one transformation from ops.tab that was found to be unreachable.)
2011-10-11Remove too_old_compiler handling for very old instruction variantsBjörn Gustavsson
is_list/2 and other test instructions with a zero label was last generated by the v1 BEAM compiler which was last supported in R6B. Since BEAM modules produced by that compiler will be rejected with a nice error message for other reasons (e.g. by the test for the module_info/0,1 functions), retaining those transformations serves no useful purpose.
2011-10-11Remove the special instructions for the hybrid heap emulatorBjörn Gustavsson
The hybrid-heap emulator is broken since R12, so there is no need to keep those instructions.
2011-10-11Remove optimization of 'move R R'Björn Gustavsson
Ancient versions of BEAM compiler could generate move instruction with the same source and destination registers, so the loader would optimize away such instructions.

2011-09-22Fix lost wakeup of scheduler when enqueuing auxiliary workRickard Green
When auxiliary work was enqueued on a scheduler, the wakeup of the scheduler in order to handle this work could be lost. Wakeups in order to handle ordinary work were not effected by this bug. The bug only effected runtime systems with SMP support as follows: * Deallocation of some ETS data structures could be delayed. * On Linux systems not using the NPTL thread library (typically ancient systems with kernel versions prior to 2.6) and Windows systems, the {Port, {exit_status, Status}} message from a terminating port program could be delayed. That is, it only effected port programs which had been started by passing exit_status as an option to open_port/2.

2011-09-06BEAM: Unify allocation of X and float registersBjörn Gustavsson
In the half-word emulator, smp emulator, and non-smp emulator the X register and float register arrays were allocated in different ways. Always allocate the registers and store the pointers to the allocated register arrays in the scheduler data.
2011-09-02Fix enif_compare on 64bits machinesFilipe David Manana
In 64bits machines the Sint type has a size of 8 bytes, while on 32bits machines it has a 4 bytes size. enif_compare was ignoring this and therefore returning incorrect values when the result of the CMP function (which returns a Sint value) doesn't fit in 4 bytes. For example, passing the operands -1294536544000 and -1178704800000 to enif_compare would trigger the bug.

2011-08-25Add erlang:check_old_code/1Björn Gustavsson
Add erlang:check_old_code/1 to quickly check whether a module has old code. If there is no old code, there is no need to call erlang:check_process_code/2 for all processes, which will save some time if there are many processes.
2011-08-25check_process_code/2: Quickly return 'false' if there is no old codeBjörn Gustavsson
There is no need to suspend the process if the module has no old code. Measurements show that this change will make erlang:check_process_code/2 in an SMP emulator about four times faster if the module has no old code.
