2017-08-23Eliminate the beam_instrs.h fileBjörn Gustavsson
The beam_instrs.h file serves no useful purpose. Put the instructions in beam_hot.h instead.
2017-08-23Add the 'S' type for a register sourceBjörn Gustavsson
The type 'd' could be used both for destination registers and source register. Restrict the 'd' type to only be used for destinations, and introduce the new 'S' type to be used when a source must be a register.
2017-08-23Introduce more packable typesBjörn Gustavsson
The 'I' type can be replaced with 't' if we know that the value will fit in 16 bits. The 'P' type can be replaced with 'Q' if it is used for deallocating a stack frame.
2017-08-23Pack instructions using 'q', 'c', and 's'Björn Gustavsson
Update the pack engine to safely push literal operands to the pack stack and to safely pop them back to another code address. That will allow packing of more instructions.
2017-08-23beam_makeops: Rewrite the packer, fixing several bugsBjörn Gustavsson
The packer had several bugs and limitations. For instance, on a 32-bit Erlang virtual machine it would gladly pack three 't' values into one word even though it would be not safe. The rewritten version will be more careful how much it packs into each word. It will also be able to do packing for more instructions.
2017-08-23Make map update instruction functions indepedent of instruction formatBjörn Gustavsson
Having the helper functions for map update knowing all the details of operands for the instruction will make it difficult to make improvements such as better packing.
2017-08-23beam_makeops: Introduce the new type 'W' (machine word)Björn Gustavsson
As a preparation for potentially improving packing in the future, we will need to make sure that packable types have a defined maximum size. The packer algorithm assumes that two 'I' operands can be packed into one 64-bit word, but there are instructions that use an 'I' operand to store a pointer. It only works because those instructions are not packed for other reasons. Introduce the 'W' type and use it for operands that don't fit in 32 bits.
2017-08-23Use the wait_timeout_{un}locked_int instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
The transformations were incorrect.
2017-08-23Improve performance for bsl/bsrBjörn Gustavsson
Eliminate the variable used for holding which BIF (bsl or bsr). It seems to improve performance slightly.

2017-08-15Slightly optimize updating of mapsBjörn Gustavsson
The instruction put_map_assoc/5 (used for updating a map) has a failure operand, but it can't actually fail provided that its "map" argument is a map. The following code: M#{key=>value}. will be compiled to: {test,is_map,{f,3},[{x,0}]}. {line,[...]}. {put_map_assoc,{f,0},{x,0},{x,0},1,{list,[{atom,key},{atom,value}]}}. return. {label,3}. %% Code that produces a 'badmap' exception follows. Because of the is_map instruction, {x,0} always contains a map when the put_map_assoc instruction is executed. Therefore we can remove the failure operand. That will save one word, and also eliminate two tests at run-time. The only problem is that the compiler in OTP 17 did not emit a is_map instruction before the put_map_assoc instruction. Therefore, we must add an instruction that tests for a map if the code was compiled with the OTP 17 compiler. Unfortunately, there is no safe and relatively easy way to known that the OTP 17 compiler was used, so we will check whether a compiler before OTP 20 was used. OTP 20 introduced a new chunk type for atoms, which is trivial to check.

2017-08-11Make '0 bsl BigNumber' consistently succeedBjörn Gustavsson
'0 bsl 134217728' would fail with a system limit exception on a 32-bit BEAM machine, but not on a 64-bit BEAM machine. Smaller values on the right would always work. Make erlang:bsl(0, BigNumber) always return 0 to make for consistency. (The previous commit accidentally did that change for '0 bsl BigNumber'.)
2017-08-11Break out most instructions from beam_emu.cBjörn Gustavsson
2017-08-08Simplify specifying implementation of instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Eliminate the need to write pre-processor macros for each instruction. Instead allow the implementation of instruction to be written in C directly in the .tab files. Rewrite all existing macros in this way and remove the %macro directive.

that could cause heap corruption if whereis lookup conflicts with other register updater AND other thread sends on-heap message while main lock is released. Also improved enif_whereis from dirty nifs by passing c_p as NULL.

Add stacktrace entries to BIF calls from emulator
2017-07-07Add a proper type for lock optionsJohn Högberg
2017-07-07Add stacktrace entries to BIF calls from emulatorJosé Valim
The goal of this change is to improve debugging of emulator calls. For example, the following code rem(1, y) will error with atom `badarith` when y is 0 and the stacktrace has no entry for `erlang:rem/2`, making such cases very hard to debug. This patch makes it so the stacktrace includes `erlang:rem(1, 0)`. The following emulator BIFs have been changed: * band/2 * bnot/1 * bor/2 * bsl/2 * bsr/2 * bxor/2 * div/2 * element/2 * int_div/2 * rem/2 * sminus/2 * splus/2 * stimes/2

2017-07-06Introduce new_small_map_lit opMichal Muskala
Take advantage of the fact that small maps have a tuple for keys. When new map is constructed and all keys are literals, we can construct the entire keys tuple as a literal. This should reduce the memory of maps created with literal keys almost by half, since they all can share the same keys tuple.
2017-07-06Merge pull request #1499 from josevalim/jv-tuple-callsBjörn Gustavsson
Make tuple calls opt-in OTP-14497
2017-07-04Make tuple calls opt-inJosé Valim
Tuple calls is the ability to invoke a function on a tuple as first argument: 1> Var = dict:new(). {dict,0,16,16,8,80,48, {[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]}, {{[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]}}} 2> Var:size(). 0 This behaviour is considered by most to be undesired and confusing, especially when it comes to errors. For example, imagine you invoke "Mod:new()" where a Mod is an atom and you accidentally pass {ok, dict}. It raises: {undef,[{ok,new,[{ok,dict}],[]},...]} As it attempts to invoke ok:new/1, which is really hard to debug as there is no call to new/1 on the source code. Furthemore, this behaviour is implemented at the VM level, which imposes such semantics on all languages running on BEAM. Since we cannot remove the behaviour above, this proposal makes the behaviour opt-in with a compiler flag: -compile(tuple_calls). This means that, if a codebase relies on this functionality, they can keep compatibility by adding configuring their build tool to always use the 'tuple_calls' flag or explicitly on each module. As long as the compile attribute above is listed, the codebase will work on old and new Erlang versions alike. The only downside of the current implementation is that modules compiled on OTP 20 that rely on 'tuple_calls' will have to be recompiled to run with 'tuple_calls' on OTP 21+.
