Perl 5.16.1 (and perhaps other versions) issues the following
warning:
defined(@array) is deprecated at utils/beam_makeops line 1714.
(Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
for the following line:
$prev_last = pop(@{$gen_transform{$key}})
if defined @{$gen_transform{$key}}; # LINE 1714
The documentation for "defined" says that its use on hashes and
arrays is deprecated and that it may stop working in a future
release.
Simply removing "defined" (as suggested by the warning message)
will not work, as there will be an error when trying to use an
undefined value as an array reference:
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
utils/beam_makeops line 1714.
What we must do is to check whether $gen_transform{$key} is
defined before trying to use it as an array reference.

* maint:
make_preload: Don't fail if Perl's default file encoding is UTF-8
|
|
Setting Perl's default encoding for files to UTF-8, for example
like this:
PERL_UNICODE=DS make
would crash the build with a message similar to:
form size 1413 greater than size 1237 of module at
utils/make_preload line 175, <FILE> chunk 1.
Tell Perl to interpret the data in BEAM files as binary by
using the binmode() function. The binmode() function existed
before Unicode support was added to Perl, which means that
make_preload should work even in old versions of Perl.

Calls to erlang:set_trace_pattern/3 will no longer block all
other schedulers.
We will still go to single-scheduler mode when new code is loaded
for a module that is traced, or when loading code when there is a
default trace pattern set. That is not impossible to fix, but that
requires much closer cooperation between tracing BIFs and the loader
BIFs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still does not run, just compiles.
|
|
The current calling convention for BIFs makes it necessary to
handle each arity specially, since each argument for the BIF
also becomes an argument for the C function implementing the BIF,
which makes it hard to allow BIFs with any number of arguments.
Change the calling convention for BIFs, so that BIF arguments are
passed in an array to the C function implementing the BIF.

We already avoid outputting a comment terminator ("*/") inside
a comment to avoid causing a syntax error. Also avoid outputting
the start of a comment ("/*") to avoid causing a compiler warning.

'store_var' is always followed by 'next_arg'.
|
|
'next_instr' is always followed by 'is_op'.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
This optimization will save some space (in the loader tables) and
some loading time.
|
|
Fix the incorrect code that attempted to remove a single
'next_arg' instructions before 'next_instr'.
|
|
It is more useful to have a helper function that can test for
any instruction.

The handling of large values for other tags than TAG_i (integer) is
buggy. Any tag value equal to or greater than 2^40 (5 bytes) will
abort loading. Tag values fitting in 5 bytes will be truncated to 4
bytes values.
Those bugs cause real problems because the bs_init2/6 and
bs_init_bits/6 instructions unfortunately use TAG_u to encode literal
sizes (using TAG_i would have been a better choice, but it is too late
to change that now). Any binary size that cannot fit in an Uint
should cause a system_limit exception at run-time, but instead the
buggy handling will either cause an emulator crash (for values in the
range 2^32 to 2^40-1) or abort loading.
In this commit, implement overflow checking of tag values as a
preparation for fixing the binary construction instructions. If any
tag value cannot fit in an Uint (except for TAG_i), change the
tag to the special TAG_o overflow tag.
|
|
We want to make sure that a tag/type name is not defined more than
once and that we don't define too many primitive tags. Primitive
tags must be named with lowercase letters (or they will be confused
with variable names in transformations in the ops.tab file).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In many (not all) cases, the value for the 'I' type will
fit into 32 bits.
|
|
We don't want the packable types listed in two places.
|
|
Introduce a new 'Q' type, similar to 'P' except that it
can be packed.
|
|
In the 32-bit BEAM emulator, it is only possible to pack
3 register operands into one word. Therefore, the move2
instruction (that has 4 operands) needs two words for its
operands.
Take advantage of the larger wordsize in the 64-bit emulator
and pack up to 4 operands into a single word.
|
|
Giving the beam_makeops script access to the external word
size (=the size of instruction words) will allow it to pack
more operands into a word for the 64 bits emulator.
|
|
In the transformation engine in the loader, an is_eq/1 instruction
is currently always preceded by an is_type/1 instruction. Therefore,
save a word and slight amount of time by combining those
instructions into an is_type_eq/2 instruction.

Store Erlang terms in 32-bit entities on the heap, expanding the
pointers to 64-bit when needed. This works because all terms are stored
on addresses in the 32-bit address range (the 32 most significant bits
of pointers to term data are always 0).
Introduce a new datatype called UWord (along with its companion SWord),
which is an integer having the exact same size as the machine word
(a void *), but might be larger than Eterm/Uint.
Store code as machine words, as the instructions are pointers to
executable code which might reside outside the 32-bit address range.
Continuation pointers are stored on the 32-bit stack and hence must
point to addresses in the low range, which means that loaded beam code
much be placed in the low 32-bit address range (but, as said earlier,
the instructions themselves are full words).
No Erlang term data can be stored on C stacks (enforced by an
earlier commit).
This version gives a prompt, but test cases still fail (and dump core).
The loader (and emulator loop) has instruction packing disabled.
The main issues has been in rewriting loader and actual virtual
machine. Subsystems (like distribution) does not work yet.

We don't want to have dates in files that are checked-in as
part of the bootstrap compiler (such as beam_opcodes.{erl,hrl})
as a new version will be created every time.
