* mikpe/fp-exceptions-cleanups/PR-1019/OTP-13531:
clean up FP exception code in sys_float.c
|
|
When FP exceptions are used, matherr() forces a fake FP exception,
which is interpreted as an error by the checking code after a math
routine call. This is wrong for several reasons:
- it's not necessary for error checking: when FP exceptions aren't
used, matherr() is a stub and no information is derived from it
being called
- it's not necessary for FPU maintenance: the FPU only needs to be
reprogrammed after an actual FP exception
- it causes false negatives: matherr() may be called even though
Erlang doesn't consider the case to be an error (exp() and pow()
underflows on Solaris for instance); with FP exceptions enabled
they are incorrectly considered errors
The fix is to remove all FP exception related code from matherr().

This performs a number of cleanups in the FP exception code:
- inline the body of unmask_fpe_conditional() in its only caller,
then delete the duplicated and identical definitions of it
- start the big processor-specific block with a comment describing
the two functions that must be defined, then delete redundant
comments at all the mask_*() functions
- add a comment before fpe_sig_action() explaining exactly what
processor-specific action is required of it
- flatten #ifdef nesting in fpe_sig_action()
- move common code in the x86 unmask_fpe() and erts_restore_fpu()
function into a subroutine
- minor tweaks: drop a redundant L suffix on a 0, add a comment
after an #else, bump the size of a debug buffer,
There should be no change in behaviour from these changes.

Floating-point exception support on MacOS X has never been especially
reliable, and has therefore been disabled by default for a long time.
The fpe support is now broken.
Therefore, take out the unnecessary test for modern mcontext in
configure (whatever that means) and the associated code in sys_float.c.
Add #error directives to sys_float.c to make it clear that
fpe is not supported.
It seems to risky to mess with the mess of #ifdef's, so we will
not attempt to remove all fpe support code for MacOS X.

This is mostly a pure refactoring.
Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive
integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with
ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT.
Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, )
------- ------------------- -------------------------------------------
exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0
crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0
The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and
ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have
changed).

The current size is too small for 64-bit machines,
causing messages to be truncated and making debugging
more difficult.
|
|
Also removed old legacy fallback that is no longer used
|
|
This simplified debugging on OSE and also limits the number of ppdata
keys that are created when beam is restarted.

This BIF solves a problem of float_to_list/1 that doesn't allow
specifying the number of digits after the decimal point when
formatting floats.
float_to_list(Float, Options) -> string()
Float = float()
Options = [Option]
Option = {decimals, Decimals::0..249} |
{scientific, Decimals::0..249} |
compact
Returns a string which corresponds to the text representation of
a `Float` formatted using given options.
When decimals option is specified the returned value will contain
at most `Decimals` number of digits past the decimal point.
When `compact` option is provided the trailing zeros at the end
of the list are truncated (this option is only meaningful together
with the `decimals` option). When `scientific` option is provided,
the float will be formatted using scientific notation with
`Decimals` digits of precision. If `Options` is `[]` the function
behaves like `float_to_list/1`. When using `decimals` option and
the number doesn't fit in the static internal buffer of 256 bytes
the function throws `badarg`.

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.

On Solaris/x86, the floating point exceptions bits seems to
be propagated to child threads, so if scheduler threads
use floating points exceptions, also driver threads will
have floating points exception enabled.
The problem is that erts_thread_init_float() has not been
called for driver threads, and because of that matherr()
will crash when called.
Fix matherr() so that it will work even if erts_thread_init_float()
has not been called.
This fix was suggested by Mikael Pettersson.
