2017-11-30Add syntax in try/catch to retrieve the stacktrace directlyBjörn Gustavsson
This commit adds a new syntax for retrieving the stacktrace without calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0. That allow us to deprecate erlang:get_stacktrace/0 and ultimately remove it. The problem with erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is that it can keep huge terms in a process for an indefinite time after an exception. The stacktrace can be huge after a 'function_clause' exception or a failed call to a BIF or operator, because the arguments for the call will be included in the stacktrace. For example: 1> catch abs(lists:seq(1, 1000)). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}]}} 2> erlang:get_stacktrace(). [{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, 23,24|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}] 3> We can extend the syntax for clauses in try/catch to optionally bind the stacktrace to a variable. Here is an example using the current syntax: try Expr catch C:E -> Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace(), . . . In the new syntax, it would look like: try Expr catch C:E:Stk -> . . . Only a variable (not a pattern) is allowed in the stacktrace position, to discourage matching of the stacktrace. (Matching would also be expensive, because the raw format of the stacktrace would have to be converted to the cooked form before matching.) Note that: try Expr catch E -> . . . is a shorthand for: try Expr catch throw:E -> . . . If the stacktrace is to be retrieved for a throw, the 'throw:' prefix must be explicitly included: try Expr catch throw:E:Stk -> . . .

A call in llvm_fix_pinned_regs/0 is inserted in the beginning of LLVM unwind blocks (i.e. code executed when an LLVM 'invoke' call triggers an exception) in order to get the BP and SP registers right. This is needed because LLVM exception handling doesn't provide the return value (that also contains the values for these registers, as defined in the HiPE Calling Convention for LLVM) on the 'landingpad's.

2011-01-31Remove hipe constants poolPaul Guyot
Hipe constants used to be allocated within a single, fixed-size pool for interaction with the garbage collector. However, the garbage collector no longer depends on constants being allocated within a single pool, and the fixed size of the pool both meant unnecessary allocations on most deployments and crashes on deployments requiring more constants. The code was simplified to directly invoke erts_alloc. Debugging and undocumented function hipe_bifs:show_literals/0 was removed (it returned true and output text to the console), and debugging and undocumented function hipe_bifs:constants_size/0 was rewritten with a global to count the size of allocated constants.
